Premier League 2016/17 season

[GoonerJeeves]

It is Chelsea's to lose. Conte has re-adjusted very well. Which is more than can be said for the fraud that is Pep Guardiola.

 

[MaraDon]

the league is no longer in our hands, after everton we are completely dependent on how plastic does. we can only win every single game from now on, dropping points is not acceptable.

 

[Furious]

Needed. Meaning we have 2-3 weeks break.

Throw the FA Cup, beat Chelsea and win the league and CL.

 

[Optimistic]

**** that lad, we're doing the triple!

 

[kopzilla]

Will Chelsea drop points and open the race?

Still possible but we have to keep winning...

 

[Trilly]

Just when things were getting fun again. Ramsey-Coq midfield ffs.

Hello fellow gooners. Have you ever wondered why we follow football in such a fanatical way? I have been an Arsenal supporter all my life and like many of you have experienced the highs and lows. I have found that football brings out the worst in me. I have become a born again believer in Jesus Christ and he has saved me from the life I have led. The first two commandments were to worship only God and not to make any idols so that we will lose our love for the father.

Football stadiums are nothing more than worship temples where we revere these football idols. Many of you will ridicule this message and say “stupid bible thumper all fanatical about God”. Well I would respond to you that the religion of football and footballing idols is far more fanatical and without sense. I’m not saying do not support the team and enjoy games but when I see comments like “Özil is God” etc.. I can’t help but feel that this message needs to go out to you. Jesus said he is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the father but by me. All I would ask is that you ask the God of the bible into your lives and see what happens. The alternative to this is eternity away from the presence of the God and that is hell indeed.

Did anyone expect Swansea to beat Liverpool at home? Did anyone expect Arsenal to spank Chelsea 3-0?... Did anyone expect Leicester to win the league last year?!

We all know it's unlikely. We all know it's Chelsea's title to lose and to stand a chance we're gonna have to play uncharacteristically well for the remainder of the season.

But until such a time comes that we mathematically cannot win, I for one am going to remain... unpessimistic.

Fluke results are one thing, a fluke run is another thing.

Arsenal would have to produce an insane run of form to win this title. It's just not happening unless Chelsea absolutely bottle it.

Chelsea will drop points at some point, maybe in two games time. Sp**s will be there close but I cant see them overtaking. Us well if we draw with Chelski we will stay in the mix and have some hope, if we win we are in for a real fight, Pool will battle with Man clubs for 4th which I think they ll lose out.

 

[Revolution]

There is no 'race for the title', Chelsea have got this in the bag.

Arsenal once again ****ing let the fanbase down with another crappy first half, zombie-like performances. Why do they keep getting away with this??

As I've said season after season, it's just a race to get into the Champions League. If Alexis has any ambition and wants to win something, he should just f off or wait for Wenger to do one.

 

[Sir Bump]

Lock the thread, or at least change title.

We will be in 5th on Sunday.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Change title!

 

[Sanchez11]

change title plz

 

[say yes]

We've never even been in the race.

The thing is Arsenal cannot keep changing their line up.

Leicester did not change their team much last season and won.

Chelsea also won with the same lineup evwry match during their park-bus Era and keep winning. This season as well.

Enough of walcott already. You guys can judge for yourself whether he is the main problem.

Leicester and Chelsea are not in Champions league like us.

1- Walcott hasn't been in our lineup once in the past 6 league matches

2- He definitely is not the main problem

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Our problem is I think most likely tactically and in micro plays...

Even if the line-up was with Gabriel at RB, Coquelin-Ramsey mid and Giroud upfront we should have won against Watford.

We fail at tactics that force us to do stupid errors that gives them two goals in 15 minutes....

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

We do really bad at micro plays. Think @Trilly has also mentioned it...

Throw ins, finishing, short passes, etc... So often it should be very easy for top footballer to do, we fail at it very badly...

 

[Polar Bear]

I agree with everyone else.. title of this thread needs to be changed to something else, we're just fooling ourselves otherwise.
