    I don’t think they’d usually be able to challenge but the league looks really weak and I can’t see any of Arsenal, Spurs, Utd or Chelsea being in a position to challenge, next season. Just gotta hope City are firing on all cylinders which doesn’t look likely, atm. Hopefully Arne can fire up the troops for another go at it.

    Depth is the current issue but they getting uncomfortably close if I’m being honest. Hope they lose a key player in the summer but unlikely with CL football.

    I think Liverpool will fall off next year, Man City could go either way but possible transition year. Arsenal need to get some consistency. But the big clubs getting a lot wrong has left the door open. Hopefully they don’t get near.

    After the last game I stood whilst the Fulwell end emptied and just looked at the stadium. In my head I could still see Gordon Armstrong rising up to score that goal against Chelsea in the cup

    I'd sack Arteta on the spot after this game, no matter the result. Shocking stuff.

    Much better from Arsenal second half. Great goal by a top player.

    7 seasons in a row Rice has played 32+ PL games. Still only 26, he’ll break some records if he stays over here which he should

    Reminiscent of Gerrard in his prime but hit even more sweetly

    When you watch some of taht. There are major officials questions to ask

    Bruno 3 times not touched, gave himself a free kick. Ref gives it after he handles the ball.
    Arsenal player blatantly pushed by same player, play on
    Dan burn petulant theows the ball. Nothing
    keeper wastes 30 second for Arsenal during injury time. Ref adds 2 extra minutes! Ridiculous

    I can’t work out the hero status he has with them! He doesn’t get into our starting line up as it is now. And probably at best a 4th choice.
