PL fixtures between now and April are all bottom half clubs other than Palace who we’ve already had an away result over.
All being well we can find our feet and a load of points.
By contrast, City have European/FA Cup games plus Newcastle.

25/2 Leicester City (A) random result generators
1/3 Everton (H) who only beat us away the other w/end
4/3 AFC Bournemouth (H) who just won away at Wolves
9/3 Europa (A) team tbc
12/3 Fulham (A) who just beat Brighton
16/3 Europa (H) team tbc
19/3 Palace (H) who know which Palace will turn up- nearly turned over Brentford today
I think this season more than any other has shown that the
+12 goals
A shame about Europe but I feel we’ve been outstanding on the whole, really enjoying this time and looking forward to April.
Lucky enough to go today (bank balance might not agree 
)...love going to watch games live as you get to see so much more. As a team were were superb today, front to back the whole team played really well. Holding came in and did a great job, was really good in the air, apart from one of his typical wrestling matches towards the end he did really well. The football we play in the final third is just sublime, the way the team move the opposition around is really a site to behold. That triumvirate of Saka, Odegaard and White caused Palace massive problems all afternoon...you can see what's coming but they create so much pressure and the passing is so precise the opposition just can't do anything...they know if they go to mark White's overlap then Saka will be off in the channel etc. It's almost mesmerising to watch !

Jeez this could go SO wrong....
There was a moment today, Sakas second. Brought back in an instant, memories of Adams goal in 98, a flying thumper of a goal against Everton ( yes I had to google, it's been so long since, but I will never forget that goal) That was the point, you know you deserve the title. Icing on the cake from the skipper.
Anyways, this is first time I felt, this could be it.
That moment it all works out.
Yes by that point in 98, the League was pretty much wrapped up, not so today.
But it was just that feeling.....Weird, but good.
Sorry I don't know how to word it better.
And ffs sorry if, well you know.....
( city were a first division side at the time
oh how a blank cheque book would help in the future)

Having been down this road before I think taking the 10 cup final matches left is the right attitude, as soon as you walk in thinking "its' only x" we've won this, you get a Bournemouth scare and not many other teams will give you the chance to get back into the game. Many will remember our international hang overs, so lets hope for that all our players come back.
Some interesting stats for EPL:
Arsenal have 69 points from 28 matches- this equals our finishing total points for last season (21/22).
We have scored 66 goals so far this season- this already 5 more than the entirety of last season (61).
That was our 22nd Premier League win of the season- this matches total won last season
This is the most ever wins in the first 28 matches of a league campaign

Agree. The you'd be stupid to assume a win.Wonderman said:
26/4 Manchester City (A) a narrow loss again
I'm going for a win or draw there. Going to be real hard, but I really want the team to show that they won the Prem (if we do) rather than City lost it, y'know?But yes, 10 stupidly difficult games left. It's hardly believable that we're still on top!

t. At the moment I just hope we are still leading by the time we get to the City match and take it from there. Plus the devil on the shoulder says we give it all v City and then play Chelsea just three days later and they may have struck some form by then...aaargh.In the mean time enjoying the emirates bouncing and entertaining football being played.
Speculation on Holdings aliceband having either Arteta speaker or XBox controller built in following his performance yesterday especially whilst carrying Zaha in his pocket v Palace

Good timing we’ve got two weeks for Saliba, he’s been released from the national team for the coming games. amazed Ben White hasn’t been picked for the England team but we still don’t really know what went on and why he came home from the World Cup. So at least that gives him some rest if Tomiyasu is out for the season.

Meh we beat Leicester home and away when they won the league I'm pretty sure they don't give a st.
I mean, don't get me wrong, if we somehow manage to get over the line I won't give a rats arse either, and I'll even probably forget about all the dodgy ref calls. t.Carl_Manchester said:
Secondly, not sure what Conte explosion was about re: Spuds. Sure they ain't gonna win the league but they could easily finish 3rd from here.
Ah yeah but it's the nature of the performances isn't it? I mean, if I was a Spurs supporter (or the manager!) I'd be absolutely livid to see my team lose a two goal lead to bottom of the table.I mean, from an Arsenal fan pov long may they stay in the mud, but I see why Conte said it. Also, he clearly wants to be fired

Even Conte has gone and bottled his own rant now, saying he didn't mean the owners. What a club.It's definitely nervous times for us with 10 games to go, listening to Saka's interview on MOTD they all seem so relaxed about it with the 1 game at a time focus.
The team look to be in a very good position at the moment. Keep focus and we will see how the season ends, as long as we aren't complacent against any of the teams we play and no major injuries we can end the season on a high.
My expectations have already been vastly exceeded from pre-season whatever happens.
Interesting record made yesterday.....from BBC website.
BBC said:
They became the first side in 135 years of English Football League history to win nine London derbies in a single league season. So far they have only dropped points in one, in last month's draw against Brentford, which is some record.
All his fears came true…
Black Stars boss Chris Hughton provided an update on Partey, who was left on the bench, after Ghana’s draw in Luanda.
"Thomas has some small issues,” he said.
“We felt it was too big of a risk to start him.”
After the assault on Odegaard I wonder if Tierney will return the favour on Rodri tonight?
Southgate played Saka for all but 6 mins of both England matches, but at least he looked sharp. That Kane chap seems to link well with Saka, perhaps worth a cheeky bid
