Some find it difficult to imagine that Arsenal are only ten games away from ending their over-19-year league title drought. Mikel Arteta discovered the winning formula that has helped Arsenal emerge as the best side in the Premier League this season after about two years of trial and error.
This season, Arsenal has been convincingly excellent; they are not only winning games but also playing good football in terms of possession.
Many believed that Arsenal’s lack of winning mentality and experience would see them lose the battle for the title in the final few games of the season, but they have only looked stronger, something that Arsenal legend Lauren has praised.
“I always believe in positive thinking, and I think this team has been absolutely brilliant since the beginning of the season,” Lauren said on Sports Lens.
“I was very concerned about this team and how they would cope mentally. When you get to this stage of the season, this period brings pressure and anxiety.
“If this team is capable of managing that pressure and that anxiety, I think that they have a great chance of winning the league.
“They have proved that in the last couple of games—especially against Bournemouth.
“To bounce back from two goals down when you’re at the top and under pressure is not easy to do.
“This team has shown maturity and how to control the emotional parts of the game; that was what was brilliant in the Bournemouth game.”
Lauren clearly sees this Arsenal team as one that can flourish under pressure, and if they can do so, they have everything in their power to maintain their PL title charge, as no other team has been as good as them this season.
Arteta and his team have been so good that they were 8 points clear at the top of the league heading into the international break.
Despite Man City having a game in hand. Arsenal are going to win this thing, and they can only do so if we think they will; it’s all about having a winning mentality.

It’s obvious, but it doesn’t guarantee EPL trophy
dont get ahead of yourselves, let them win the EPl title first
No, it’s the winning mentality which is first and then winning the trophy is second
Unfortunately we have 10 matches to go. That ain’t a few matches remaining. A few is three to four. All remaining matches for clubs from twelve place down to the relegation zone are cut throat must get a result for those clubs concerned. Then you have the likes of Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea and Brighton fighting for a place in Europe. Then there’s bloody Manchester City,, they are defending their crown. There’s a very good chance that Manchester City will drop points. What worries me most of all are possible injuries sustained. Fatigue will not play any part. Plus we’ve 15 players on international duties. Hopefully all come back healthy. Ten matches = 30 points. Anything can happen between now and May. There are no easy matches and no guarantees in the English Premier League. I’m certainly not counting my chickens just yet. My son, who’s in the Australian Army was hell bent on placing a thousand dollar bet on Arsenal winning the Premier League before the season started. He said he could afford to lose a thousand dollars. I talked him out of it. He’s now reminding me. My argument to him now is, I don’t think his nerves would hold out. If Arsenal were to win the Premier League, he could have won over one hundred thousand dollars with the odds he was given at the very beginning of pre season. I told the lad the other night, no one foreseen this happening to Arsenal. Anyone who claimed they predicted Arsenal to be in first place with ten matches remaining, at the beginning of the season are lying 🤥. Even crazy Kevin’s Clairvoyant didn’t foresee this one
P Jennings. Not so! The more perceptive fans amongus could see during the pre season matches that things were hugely progressing since last season.
I dont say many would have predicted we would be where we are right now but perceptive fans , before this season began, could tell we would betop four and probably higher. You son now has a reason for a grouse against you IMO.
Though it must be added that IF he had the courage of his convictions, he would have ignored your opinion. A grand at 100/1 would now have guaranteed him a profit RIGHT NOW, TODAY, of around £60,k as he could lay off that bet at around 8/11. IE, odds on!
He did NOT do so , so its on him really, I suppose!
Strongly agree with Jon, we saw massive
improvement during preseason, that 4 nil hammering of Chelsea in the Camping Arena did not flattered us.
