Tottenham still believe that they are going to win the champions League same way it happened for them in the Europa League when they were not performing well in the league and who knows what you think is impossible could be possible with Tottenham so they should keep focusing on the champions League so that if they do not win it they would go and meet Leicester City in the championship if they end up being relegated.

It's too late for Tottenham to realize their mistakes and they to come back from where they are, they have few more games before the end of the season I don't think they are improving soon because right now nothing is working in the team they should just go to relegation and start all over.

You speak as if you know the mind of the players. Lol, Tottenham has no chance to win the Champions League, maybe in another world, but not in this world. The teams they face in the Europa League are no match for the teams in the Champions League. Even if they progress to the semi-final, that will be the end of the road for them. I dislike Spurs so much that I want to see them get relegated. After all that's what their fans wished for.

[Iroh]

Arteta need to do everything possible to achieve the victory this season and win the Premier League title, nothing can stop that if they can continue performing well in the league title and other. Manchester City is the club that is chasing them in the league and with how am seeing I don't think Manchester City can get the opportunity to overtake Arsenal anymore this season and they can get the chance to win the Premier League this season. Let see how the competition will ends or Guadiola will top the league since they still have some games to play in the league competition and anything can probably be possible.

I do want Arsenal to win the title this season. They've lost out on winning the title for several times now and looking at how tight things are on the league table at the moment, the possibility of having the title slip from the grasp again is there. Admittedly, they're not exactly in the clear as the point difference between them and 2nd place Man city isn't enough to be relaxed. They're still under pressure and rightfully so as they shouldn't relent and should strive extra hard to win the title this season. They've been working hard but the title has eluded them, perhaps until this season.
They just need to remain focused and ride the remaining games they've got till the end of the season to victory.

They stopped being contenders for long. If Tottenham get relegated this season there would be talks here and there, people would be surprised but it won't affect the Premier League in any way cause there's still Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool including some tough mid teams that would keep us entertained every weekend. The Championship league is not an easy place i just hope Tottenham doesn't get relegated. Rival fans banter clubs that's a threat to them, Arsenal is a big threat to every big club in the league currently that's why fans are mostly loud about them.

If you play poorly and get yourself relegated, that's totally on you. It's no one's fault the relegated club had a poor performance and played poorly in that particular season. If Tottenham gets relegated this season, it surely would be a shame and talked about a lot. After a while, the talks and all the buzz would still settle. I too hope Tottenham won't get relegated but if they do, it certainly won't affect the premier league in any way.
With the way Manchester united has increased in their performance recently, I'm eager to see how good they're hopefully going to perform next season.

Getting relegated would be a complete disaster for Tottenham both financially and sportingly: they would lose a huge part of their income because of TV rights and missing participation to the European cups, and probably they wouldn't be able to keep paying the huge salaries they currently offer to the players. And how many players will decide to leave? Probably a lot, so they would have to start again from almost zero. I hope they can make it, I don't support Tottenham but it's always sad to see historical clubs in this situation.

I think we need to cut Arteta some slack here because he is doing everything he can to win the league. Still people complain about Arsenal not playing beautiful football or depending so much on set-pieces. If playing ugly is what is going to end Arsenal’s trophy drought then by all means play ugly. That’s the discipline it takes to be champions.

[SquallLeonhart]

Tottenham will not win the UCL, in fact they probably won't even be able to defeat Atletico Madrid, they are going to lose out and not be able to do any better there. But if they do, if they somehow beat Atletico Madrid, that doesn't mean that they can't win a few games at premier league to stay in the league.

Remember, while they are "close" they are still not at relegation zone levels and should not be looking into anything any further. I think it's clear that we are seeing how things could be different for Tottenham if they drop. Not that it would be end of the world if they go to championship, because that would give them a chance to start over again with brand new players and make a lot of money if they just bounce back up.

Though you are actually right in the aspect that they need to do everything possible to win this year English premier league, and if playing ugly guarantees that, then their wouldn't be much problem, because almost all title winning teams knows what they must do, in other to win games, even when they are not in their best form, and arsenal are doing that in good effect, where the sticks and the criticism will be massive is if they fail to be crown champions after the boring football they played throughout the season, that's when their will be consequences, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mikel arteta is sacked right away, because he has been supported at the club very well, so this season is his final season of grace, he must deliver the expected result if he doesn't want to lose his job at the end of the season.

Even if Arsenal lose the league and champions league, I don’t think Arteta should be sacked. He has been consistent and done well getting the club this far. I know it’s frustrating finishing second place four times in a row and some fans fancy Enrique managing Arsenal but Arteta has just been unlucky with signings. Gyokeres for example was supposed to be the striker with a killer instinct that will win Arsenal the trophy but what did we get?

Nevertheless, Arsenal are still performing at their best in the Premier League and the Champions League. Considering this, I think sacking the manager would be a mistake. Because the manager has almost established his own system within the team. And this year can't be considered a failure. Finishing second isn't considered a failure. Of course, they need to win the championship, but this year isn't over yet; perhaps we can see a double championship from them this year.

Spurs being close to the relegation zone doesn't mean they're at relegation zone. Yeah, that's true, but they're only one point in front of relegation club. So it's a disaster for them.

Also Spurs relegation is obviously the end of the world for them.

- No UCL broadcast revenue
- No Epl broadcast revenue
- Less income from their commercials
- Less income from their fans who attend to watch them

It's gonna make them less attractive as an english club. Beside that i guess all of their star players will be leaving from there to get a better club to play. Bro you forget chain effect when they get relegated.

As it stands, the chances of Arsenal winning the league is very high and even though he fails to win the EPL especially i doubt the board would think of sacking him cause there's nobody suitable to manage Arsenal currently than Arteta. If he fails to win the league this season I'm very confident that next season he'll win it.
 Why is because the only manager that makes things tough for him ( Pep Guardiola) could probably leave Manchester City after this season which would make Arteta the best coach in the league if Pep leaves. Would Enrique want to coach Arsenal? I think maybe, cause they have a good squad and their depth okay, the kind of team Enrique loves to coach but I still feel Arsenal's board would stick to Arteta whether he wins the league or not, but Arsenal would win a trophy this season.

For Arteta, winning every game is key to winning trophies. This season, Arteta has slightly changed his tactics at Arsenal. He no longer relies solely on beautiful play, but rather on pragmatics. For Arteta, winning games is paramount, even if Arsenal are playing poorly. Especially in a crucial situation like this, with the Premier League season drawing to a close, Arteta wants to lead Arsenal to victory in every remaining game, any way, to win the trophy.

This is football and anything can happen from now till the end of the season, but I don't see Arsenal not winning the English premier league this season, they are in a very good position right now with 7 points lead at the top of the table. I believe the league is theirs to lose and I don't see them bottling it this time. They have got the best squad and also the most consistent team right now in the premier league right now. Manchester City on the other hand are not the same team we used to know about 2- 3 years ago, so I don't see them overtaking Arsenal at the top of the table. Arsenal just need to remain consistent and continue with what have been working for them all season and I believe they will be crowned champion in May.

There's no point in playing beautifully if you ultimately fail to win the title and perhaps that's why Arteta has learned from his previous mistakes and aims for maximum points in every game. The Premier League is almost over with only nine matches remaining. If Arsenal lose focus and fail to win, it's possible that second-placed Manchester City could once again thwart Arsenal's hopes. The situation is similar to the last few seasons, but I hope Arsenal don't lose their form as the Premier League draws to a close so they can win the title this season.

Lets see how much weights into the head of the Totenham Spurs players the fact that they are now for real fighting for relegation, is no more excuses they are there they are only 1 point far from going to championship, the only thing i want to point out about this season for them is the bad luck they were having with injuries, if you look into it they were losing a lot of players since the star of the season Madisson and Kulusevsky for example.

You have a point, arteta's input this season has been remarkable, his strategies are unmatched because arsenal are the best team in the premier league currently. I'm not sure about arsenal winning the champions league but the premier league title is definitely going to them this season, they worked hard for it.

You just rephrased everything I said here without adding any value to the discussion. It would be nice to read a post with an opinion when they quote you. It’s no fun when you everyone on the thread is rephrasing the other person’s post.

Spurs is not the only team that faced injury. So stop to use injury as an excuse. It's the the entire clubs are the problem. The incompetence from the top until bottom are the things that ruined the club. The owner who has no clue what he's been doing. The management who could not sign a proper manager. The players who have no motivation to stay in EPL. So, that's a deadly combination.
The only solution when they will be relegated is to push the current owner of spurs to sell the club, changing the whole management, and overhaul players in the squad and manager.

I have just seen their points which are 17 points in the UCL and are in 4th position so how will they fail to succeed in this league. Although Atletico Madrid has 13 points if Atletico Madrid wins their match then we can hope that we can see a good and strong battle between these two and this is very important for both of them. If Tottenham wins then they will come up against Bayern Munich which can strengthen them for the title this year. It is a matter of later that although we should look at their next matches and points whether they get points or not. This opportunity will be difficult for them because they will have to play hard and strong to get to the top and also strengthen their performance so that they do not fall below the top and also succeed in this league. Even if they have to spend some money for their victory, then do it then they will get victory and success with competent players.

I'm not sure about arsenal winning the champions league but the premier league title is definitely going to them this season, they worked hard for it.

After Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich, I strongly was assured that they are presently the best team in every competition and they they also finished Champions League eight matches played in the first phase as the top team without losing any game. Which team are we comparing to Arsenal, the way Arteta handled the team is definitely one that deserves a trophy for this season, and I'm believing they will lift a major trophy.

Having a flawless victory in the league phase of the champions league doesn't mean they are winning the champions league. We know it's a good sign and it has made them to be one the best teams in the champions league right now but that does not mean they will win the competition. They have higher chance of reaching the final since they were put in a easy side for the knockout phase but it does not guarantee anything they will have to fight their way to win it.

The champions league is an unpredictable competition that's even if any team is doing badly in the league phrase they can still become better in the knock out round. Sincerely they have tried very well this season and if they win the champions league I will not be surprised at all.
