They could really use the GD. Liverpool still has a home match against Sheff Utd on the calendar, and with Liverpool v City next up this weekend (while Arsenal faces a fading Brentford) they have a real chance to get back into the title race.
Arsenal won't win the league. Not as good as the other two and the manager is worlds away mentality wise.
I'm guessing that Arsenal doesn't believe that Arsenal is incapable of winning the league, and consequently they're likely to make decisions as if they can.
For sure, but I think chasing records would be daft when the game is won and they've got loads more tough games to come including a CL tie which they're currently losing. I don't personally believe players and managers spend much time thinking about GD in March but who knows.
Probs cos they're expecting more. I remember when I won a bet on the United 9-0. The odds were crazy short.
In hindsight yes. But if Arsenal had scored another 2 I would have been kicking myself. There was still over half an hour to go. I don't regret not cashing out.
I have been practising my piano but constantly checking the score on my phone hoping Arsenal got ten. No such luck! I think the job of turning Sheffield Utd around was an impossible one for Chris Wilder but I would not bet against them getting promotion next season when he has rebuilt the side over the summer.
Usually, you have the funds from the players you sell in order to bankroll that rebuild, but Sheff Utd is pretty light on players who'd command a large fee.
