As an Arsenal hater, this is wonderful. As a Brentford lifer, this sucks lol

 

[Power Man]

Trossard helping his former team

 

[maclean]

i mean, i didnt much think we'd pull anything out at this point anyhow

Entering their game against Liverpool on April 9th, Arsenal had a 5 point lead at the top of the table and both them and City had 9 games left.

Since then Arsenal have earned only 9 points from 7 games (a 49 point season long pace), going 2-2-3

Massive choke job.

Those 3 draws came against Liverpool, Southampton, and West Ham. Two of those are brutal chokes for much needed points.

It’s like the Gerrard slip, but in super slow motion.

Against Liverpool they were up 2-0 30 minutes in and against West Ham they were again up 2-0 within 10 minutes.

Unreal.

Final nail in the coffin.

CUE THE COMEBACK

 

[Savant]

Got to go over 90 to beat City.

 

[maclean]

The drop-off coincides with the moment all our defenders got injured, who'd've guessed

 

[Blender]

Got to go over 90 to beat City.

City wins the title next week if they beat Chelsea, which seems likely.

 

[Juve]

@robertmac43 It's all your fault

 

[maclean]

GGs

hope brighton can make europe still

 

[hatterson]

Got to go over 90 to beat City.

Sure. But Arsenal would have got there without much hassle if they hadn't been a bottom half of the table team over the last month and a half.

 

[S E P H]

It's not like they have much choice.

The only other option is either playing a winger back there as part of a back 5 or to play an 18 year old who hasn't yet touched a top flight field yet.

Saka, I don't care if hes better up the pitch. Sometimes you gotta survive.

White was the worst player in a game where Arsenal didn't show up.

 

[al secord]

Danny Welbeck. Arsenal legend.

 

[Savant]

City wins the title next week if they beat Chelsea, which seems likely.

Can y’all beat Utd please

 

[Blender]

Arsenal is going to have problems repeating even this season unless they add a bit more depth through transfers. Knocked out in the FA and league cups very early, and out in the Europa League in the round of 16, this allowed them to play their best lineup in most PL games.

 

[Savant]

Sure. But Arsenal would have got there without much hassle if they hadn't been a bottom half of the table team over the last month and a half.

Yeah I mean it’s a long season. You can’t make mistakes in a title run vs City. Another team knows it now.

 

[maclean]

City wins the title next week if they beat Chelsea, which seems likely.

Nah, Arsenal plays first and can hand them the title before they play, steal their thunder at least

 

[hatterson]

City wins the title next week if they beat Chelsea, which seems likely.

Title can be decided next weekend:

- On Saturday if Arsenal lose to Forest. Or it's practically over (would go to GD at best and they're 20 behind) if they draw Forest.
- On Sunday if City beat Chelsea.

 

[S E P H]

F***ing heartbroken. I can handle finishing 4th, 8th, or 15th but lead 98% of the season and lose is clearly the worst thing to ever happen to a team. And the "you have a great young and upcoming team" piss me the f*** off the most. Arsenal lost this more than City won it and that's what hurts.
