The Gooners have high hopes for this new season. There’s an expectation that after a long wait, they may finally get to test Premier League glory. Last season, they were so close to winning the league, but a lapse in concentration at the end of the season saw the Premier League title slip through their hands.
With the transfer deals they’ve closed this new season and the desire to rewrite their wrongs from last season, Arteta and the boys ought to feel they have all the leverage to lift the 2023–24 league title. However, Rio Ferdinand feels the Gunners will still not win the league title.
Responding to a fan claim on TNT Sports that Chelsea could finish above Arsenal, Ferdinand claimed he doesn’t see Chelsea having a better season than Arsenal, but the Gunners will still finish in front of them. However, the best he sees Arsenal achieving is a spot in the top 3.
Rio said, “As much as I would love to see that, it won’t happen!”
“Arsenal were brilliant last season. Arteta was magnificent, the recruitment again has been wonderful.
“They’ve arguably had one of the best strongest transfer windows up to this point.
“Declan Rice, Timber, Havertz definitely strengthened the squad, the depth the quality.
“I think they’ll be top three this year; they won’t win the league, though.”
You wouldn’t expect Rio to say Arsenal would win the league. Even so, him not saying they would doesn’t mean they won’t. Arteta and the boys have had a bright start this season; they’ve already won the Community Shield and already have one win out of one in the Premier League. They need to build on this momentum, and who knows, come next summer, they will have disapproved of the many doubters.

He also said that his old team Man Utd would finish second.
How have they done so far?
It is all subjective – every one of the ex-Man United Ferguson bunch – Keane, Neville, Scholes etc. have written us off completely – even to say we won’t even finish in the top four but with no intelligent reasoning why this should happen given how we performed last season.
It is simply down to the fact the don’t like Arsenal. It is simple as that.
Neville didn’t write us off, he said we would win the league and that Rice will be buy of the season!
…check your records!
I like listening to Old Trafford pundits. I don’t think they are obviously biased. Keane is a lot funnier than I thought he’d be, he’s straight to the point and cuts right through but he’s often very funny. Neville I think is honest for the most part just a little biased when it comes to Utd, he angers when they do badly and then he can go over the top a bit. Ferdinand, I listen to what he has to say. When it comes to other sides I think they call it how they see it Doesn’t mean they are always right though
Simply put, why does it matter to some WHAT Ferdinand thinks!
He is only a pundit with his own natural ,as we all have too. Disregard what he says and please, for your own sake, do not be so immature as to let it affect your mood.
Life is short and he IS entitled to his view ,whetheror not any of us agree with it And I DONT agree, but who cares!
JA would not exist without countless articles tempting us to react and overreact to what some mere ex-players, usually with NO Arsenal connection, ” think” about us.
So bl…y what!
“own natural bias,…..”
Greetings Arsenal family! Bro Rio have worries with your Man United team please leave us alone and watch as we steadily bank 3 points from each game that cometh with…can’t wait to hear from you on Monday night football ofcourse after the game…. happy Sunday bro!
He has just suggested that we will be in the top 3 of which we might win the title though . That’s a wise punditry and may it be as he said. what pressure for??
NEXT!!!
