Lay it all (your name/rep) out there -- we winning the PL this year?

MistaT

Plenty of chatter across an array of threads about if we're well set to win it, going to squeak it, or fall apart (due to recent performances/trends).

Lay it all out there - in a simple to find/see place - no hidding..... let's see your vote. Anyone here brave enough to say No?

Klaus

We'll win it. Just watch.

Sicario2

We will fucking win it and when we do I will slam in the throats of every spurs, Chelsea , Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool supporter you can imagine.

Enjoy this next 7 weeks. We may or may not win the CL but the rest we will fucking enjoy it. Time for some 22 years worth of revenge. Once in a generation next 7 weeks. Be ready.

MistaT

Ah fuck me I voted No by misclicking when looking for who had voted No.

I"M HERE TO SAY WE"LL WIN IT

Klaus

MistaT I voted No

Quoted for posterity! Let everyone know that MistaT voted No (just in case he tries to edit the post later on to make it look like he was actually trying to vote Yes).

RocktheCasbah

Yes. Yes. And furthermore, yes.

Meatwad

YES!, yes citeh deserved to die and i hope they burn in hell.

Sicario2

I actually think losing the two cups will make the celebrations of winning the league even sweeter/bigger

Btw if we flop this season that’s me done with Arsenal for good (and even if we win the league I may quit at the top).

Tam

Yes, but I reckon it’ll be much closer than it need, and should, have been.

Not that the history books will care much about that.

Maybe I'm too negative and traumatised by the last few seasons and putting too much weight on the cup defeats. But I think we're going to feel even more pressure to win something now the cups are gone and can foresee goals being a big struggle to come by in each game. I expect Man City to win all their remaining games and am terrified we're going to crumble. It's like when you want something so much and it feels so close but still just too far away. Desperately hope to be wrong but I don't think the team has it in them to get over the line now.

TambourineMan

We've been here too many times before, and the scars of 02/03, 07/08, 22/23, and 23/24 are still so fresh in my mind. I just can’t shake the feeling that it’s going to happen again. The idea of actually getting across the line still feels surreal but the thought of the opposite occurring feels so real I can almost taste it. It would be huge if we could finally break that sense of inevitable failure that’s surrounded this club for the past 20 years or so by actually getting it done for once - but I can't see it happening.

Bernard Woolley

I don't see it happening either. Obviously, it would be amazing beyond belief for it to finally happen, but I don't see it.

I think if I was looking at a team being in our position I would feel that the team top will see it out. The main issue would be because it's us and we've got too much of a history with throwing things away when it can look hard to. We may find a way to get past that but looking at how we've been playing I'm not convinced we've got past those demons looking at a lot of the way we've been playing and goals not looking easy to come by. That is a recipe for every match to have a lot of pressure and nervousness around.

Panda

We better fucking win it from here.

Burnwinter

Panda We better fucking win it from here.

This is the camp I'm in. And given the two exceptionally ignominious cup exits, I hope others share my view that if we don't win, the club has to call time on Arteta. For us to throw the title away from here would indicate there's a decisive deficiency in his approach.

SimplyThePest

I dunno, fellas. Despite our league position, for me, we don't look 'compelling' and haven't for some time. We're exhausted and injury-riddled.

At this moment, I feel we'll be close but ultimately pipped at the post again by Man City.

Sicario2

I would never go to war with any of you guys.

Time to step up and claim this title.

SimplyThePest

Sicario2 Lol... We can't control what nervous Mik and associates do.

Ultimately, it's opinions, arseholes and people being proven right or wrong in about a month and a half.

Lukazan

Sicario2 I wouldn’t fackin’ go to war with you either, mate. Everything would be ticking along nicely, and then you’d get us all killed by going off-script to settle a score from some war 200-odd years ago. Or you’d insist on some wildly unlikely plan just because it’s the anniversary of it miraculously working back in WW2.

And that’s before you’d inevitably have a full-on meltdown the moment you found out the opposition were taking the piss out of us in the WhatsApp group.

Sicario2

SimplyThePest some of those comments represent match going fans - we need to feed the positive energy. We are in an unbelievable position. This is not 07/08 or even 2023/2024. We are 9 points clear in April ffs.

Question to those negative guys, did you feel this way after the Everton game or have the two cup exists influenced you?

HomeSteak

Sicario2 we are not really 9 points but yes we will do it.
Lets get past this stupid CL game first and see what we do at the weekend

Just saw this online, I wonder why is it so bad?

Big Willie

Sicario2 Question to those negative guys, did you feel this way after the Everton game or have the two cup exists influenced you?

Can't speak for others but why wouldn't those two cup defeats influence their feelings. One is a loss to the team we are up against for the League, the other in the FA Cup to lower league opposition.

Weren't you banging on about how the League Cup final is crucual to winning the league and that beating City in it would be a psychological blow to them? Now that we've lost it you don't think it is anymore?

The FA Cup loss is even worse, after coming from a couple weeks back, and losing to a team in the Championship.

I reckon we'll win it, it'll be close but we should have enough to get over the line. But can you blame people who are not confident?

invisibleman18

Sicario2 Question to those negative guys, did you feel this way after the Everton game or have the two cup exists influenced you?

Fair question. I've always hoped but don't know if I've ever 100% believed we would do it, but my confidence in the team finding a way to get over the line has definitely evaporated after the 2 cups. You were saying how crucial the league cup final was in terms of the league weren't you? I just want to get to the Bournemouth game now and hopefully get back on track. Obviously we're in an amazing position and should do it from here but we have a history of repeatedly falling short.

SimplyThePest

Sicario2 had my doubts since the mincy effort away vs. Liverpool but especially since the two draws vs. Liverpool and Forest and bedwetting vs. Man Utd in January.

Qwiss

HomeSteak because April is when you have the harder cup games and more fixture congestion of important matches. I don't think that stat holds up if you just look at just the league games.

QuincyAbeyie yeah I was in favour of rotation but at the same time I do think our rotated team should be beating a Championship side, even a decent one. I think its more of a squad building issue than a selection one though. That said the FA cup exit was disappointing but I don't think these things have that much weight in whether we win the league or not.
