Have the tables finally turned for Arsenal
For Arsenal and Arteta, beating Manchester City on the weekend was massive for our season and will only bring the players confidence going forward. We always knew that if we were wanting to complete this season that Manchester City were always going to be the team to beat and we would have to win at least one game against them if we want to fight for that title.
Arsenal hadn’t beaten Manchester City in the Premier League since 2015 and Arteta had never beaten them sine joining us from them in 2019. Since then, Arteta has been building a squad that he thought would be able to compete and on Sunday, it finally looked like all the pieces had come together for our Spaniard.
Last season coming so close but missing out by just five points from the title, would have hurt the Arsenal squad and honestly, I hope they remember that feeling and use it it as motivation to go for it this season. After making a few new signings that have strengthen the squad, Arsenal really look like one of the teams to beat and as long as we stay focussed and continue what we’re doing, we have every chance of winning the Premier League trophy this season.
We’ve somehow started this season off better than the last and if we can continue this form, there’s no stopping us. Unbeaten so far in The Premier League and the only reason we’re not sitting on the top of the table is because of goal difference. We just seem to be getting better as time goes by and I think a lot of the credit should go to Arteta, he’s created this environment that only brings the best out of the players and motivates them to go forward.
It’s still very early, so it’s best not to get too ahead of ourselves but this squad looks good, working well together and there seems to be a strong bond between them all, it’s not just a team, it’s a family. We go into the international break at probably the perfect time, we have a few niggling injuries to take care of and the extra recovery time could be a huge positive for us as we prepare to go to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
What’s your thoughts Gooners?

Well, I was wrong against Manchester City at home but are you sure we r going to beat MC, MU, Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle away atleast draw? I just hope I’m wrong all the way.. so we can win..
I’m sure we can beat most if not all teams you mentioned at their home turf.
Too early to talk about our title-winning chance, because there are thirty more games to play and we haven’t visited other big teams’ turfs
Maybe we can confidently talk about it if we win against Chelsea and Newcastle
Well said👌
Believe!
We are better away from home. Most teams will try and take the game to us at on their own turf and we will take them apart. Newcastle away is easier than Newcastle at home. The only grounds i fear for us at are the eithad, anfield and OT. The OT curse is a real thing but with a midfield 3 of Partey, Rice and Odegard im very confident it will be broken.
Like you, I think it’s early days for title race talk. It will only invite undue pressure on the team. One game at a time is the motto.That said, I think the win against City will enable the players to overcome the mental hurdle of falling short of winning last season.
Daisy, we didn’t have to beat city in order to win the title or even believe we couldn’t win the title if we had lost on Sunday
What we need to do this campaign is not lose to Everton away (✔️) Brighton at home (❓) spuds away (❓) manure away (❓) Forest away (❓) liverpool home and away (❓) and the title is ours.
We’ve got the three points required to make the return fixture against city not a must win game… all we need to do is stay injury free, be consistent and sign a proven goalscorer in January .. could it be another Invincible season?
Going unbeaten could be a toll order ken1945! Winning against man city was a message sent, we won’t be push overs ! We still need to be humble knowing that it’s a long long way to go. Let’s continue accumulating as much points as we can, city tend to be different animals on home stretch . Full concentration is needed if we are to muscle the league from them.
Agree 100% but if we do the above and be consistent in our other games, why not?
We are equal on goal difference with the Spuds but they are only ahead on goals scored. That said, it is still too early to consider the title although one must admit Arsenal have been playing fantastic football. City were without Rodri and KdB although we were without Saka and Partey came on in the second half. If Arsenal keep up the consistency in performances we will be very difficult to beat. I am worried about Spurs since they have no European football and are already out of the League Cup. They have only one game each week, which gives their players rest and recovery time. However, with a good squad depth and strong determination, Arsenal can make a strong push for the title. I still feel we need to sign a pure striker in January which will make us very strong.
