Arsenal will win

Think City will. Arsenal have been playing the better football but also have a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot. Yesterday they were strolling it until Xhaka’s altercation with Alexander-Arnold. All he had to was walk away but he had to continue it, which suddenly changed the whole atmosphere. Players were up for it, crowd were up for it and instead of moaning about their own players suddenly the Arsenal players were the bad guys.

Personally think Ramsdale has saved it for them. Talk in the dressing room focuses on him.
Also don’t think Xhaka turning to TAA ‘s push changed anything title wise. If anything pumps them up.
That said results against each other and Brighton will decide.
 
Have thought Man City would win it all along, it's now in their hands and Arsenal have to come up here.

Dean Smith to Leicester

Just don't get it.

Suspect it’s a sign that the owners are doubtful they will stay up. If they get relegated they will probably keep him. If they stay up they will bin him off for somebody better.

I actually think the owner is getting ready to sell. The parent company is struggling and they can’t afford to keep subsidising the club. Think the debt write off may have been part of the preparation for sale.

They have been absolutely dreadful, you have someone come in and he makes you think "well, he was sacked at Norwich." Carragher said the other day, when you're in a rut, you can look towards your manager and say "well, it's bad now, but he won them trophies so he know what he's doing." He was refering to Rafa there, that when he came in things weren't perfect, but they knew he won two La Ligas, so he must have a clue.

Dean Smith comes in and you look at your manager, who won't be telling you anything new compared to Brendan Rodgers who, let's be real, isn't a bad manager. But in your mind you're thinking "This fella has been sacked by Villa and Norwich, the latter of which went down bottom of the Premier League."

I agree a sale is likely

And 2 own goals, amazing.

They appear to be realising that Wout Weghorst is a cack-handed bungling clown who can't score for **** - he's got 2 goals in 20 games for Man U, which was his exact record for Burnley, ie 2 goals in 20 games for them. Well at least he's consistent.
