Arsenal's run of bad luck really needs to end now. If they come this close to the Premier League title and fail to win it again, they likely won't be able to recover. That's why it's essential for them to channel every bit of energy they have solely into their Premier League matches.

Arsenal just made me lose some money i stake on them to win Bournemouth believing that since they are playing at home and a club that want to win the premier league title this season that they were going to win Bournemouth but Arsenal failed to even a draw at the Emirate stadium. Arsenal can't win the title again with this there mentality i can't just imagine they will be losing matches now that they are almost close of winning the title, if Man city can win chelsea tomorrow Arsenal should forget about the league title.

I think many bettors lost money on this match. It's quite surprising that Arsenal lost when there were only a few matches left in the competition, if Man City wins tomorrow and also wins their postponed match, Arsenal will be under great pressure because their points gap with Man City is 3 points, which means the winner will be determined when they meet, I imagine if they don't get the title back, what will happen to Arteta?

Yes I happened to be one of those many bettors who lost their bet in this very game. To be honest I’m really disappointed at this Arsenal team for this lost against Bournemouth, I never saw it coming and I was convinced Arsenal were going to win at the Emirates to further extend their lead at the top of the premier league table. The team have received lots of criticism in this last part of the season and I was hoping they would use this game to silence their critics but with this kind of result we can now all agree that Arsenal is not ready to win a trophy.

[Zoomic]

It's just unbelievable man... Arsenal literally lost 1-2 home against Bournemouth. Their game was getting worse recently though that's the truth. But still I didn't expect them to be this bad today.

Once again they are doing it! Doing their best to gift the championship to Manchester City. I think Guardiola won't waste this critical chance right before playing against Arsenal home. They have a potential to even equalize the points in a short time.

I have been ashamed to login into the forum because of Arsenal. I was wondering the kind of conversation that will be going on in the Premier League thread. I am just dumbfounded by Arsenal, I don't know what to say again.

I have been supporting Arsenal since this season to win the English premier league. I was so optimistic that this season would be different. But reality began to dawn on me when;
They bottled the EFL;
Bottled the FA cup,
Quadruple dream became treble and treble dream later became double and now everything is trying to vanish.

I also know that I have advocated that Arteta shouldn't be sacked because he has been doing wonderfully well for many seasons now. But I retrieve my statement, if he succeeds in ending this season trophy-less, he should be replaced.

[IjawMan]

Arsenal is always like this at the end of the season. If they do not win all the remaining matches in the Premier League, they will lose the trophy that is already clearly in front of them. 
We will see how Man City faces Chelsea; if Man City manages to get 3 points, and with the likelihood of them winning against Crystal Palace in the postponed match, the gap between Arsenal and Man City will be only 3 points. Truly an unfavorable situation for Arsenal.

I do not wish to be in a hurry to judge Arsenal now base on their previous glooms in the race for the premiership title. This season has been a unique one for the gunners and as we can all see, lines has been falling in pleasant places for them than any other seasons.

The matches they have to play are with opponents they can win and will not let this opportunity wash off again. Manchester city matches are no easier and they can drop points in spite of the outstanding match they have that. I'm of the view that no match is cheap to win ontil you have won it, so, Manchester city are not exempted in the barn of possible points drop too.

Indeed unbelievable man. More criticism on how the team plays the ball backwards today has emerged online. Former Crystal Palace winger Bolasie has criticised Mikel Arteta and how his squad plays too safe and how their wingers do not hurt defenders of the opposing side. They're yet again about to bottle it.

Let us hope on Chelsea winning and beating Manchester City tomorrow, otherwise, City would close up the gap between them.

[SensitiveEyes]

Arsenal must be consistent because Man City have the mentality they know they can win the PL. Manchester City have one game in hand. Arsenal have played one game more than Man City. Arsenal will be 3 ahead if they lose to Bournemouth and Man City win against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Arsenal understands that the EPL trophy is the only trophy they are very sure of winning this season because it's already in their palms waiting for them to close the deal before lifting the trophy if they make any silly mistake it's going to affect their chances and put them under pressure now that Manchester City is bask to form. 7 points is the difference and Manchester City having one game in hand means nothing if Arsenal can win their remaining 7 matches.

The Gunners had the chance to put gigantic distance between them and Man City at the Emirate Stadium today. Arsenal lost the match against Bournemouth 2-1. Arsenal have 70 points. Man City can have a deficit of 3 with 67 points because they played two games fewer.

Even if you are an Arsenal fan and you are not sentimental then you will know the dream of winning the Quadruple was never going to happen, not with this squad and how they play their football. A true arsenal fan and a fan who want to see the team big will say even if Arteta ends up winning the league be should still be sacked. All my years of watching the premier league I have not see a team on top of the league and still under this such pressure and that is because the football they play is very ugly.

Not pep have been gifted this for the second time since the title race got intense, it now up to him to use it. Tomorrow Manchester city will be traveling to London as they play against Chelsea, it going to be a very tough game and if Manchester is to win the league we will then know from tomorrow.

That was what arsenal fans were expecting and there club disappointed them and if it was Manchester City we would have done more than this and everything will be taken by us but just look at arsenal all they know how to do is for them and all arsenal fans hope were high this season and they all thought it is going to be different for them and I agree with you for the sack of Arteta because he has good intentions but very poor way of execution and before now the club was doing okay and now that they are about to win the trophies then a lot of things are changing.

Not pep have been gifted this for the second time since the title race got intense, it now up to him to use it. Tomorrow Manchester city will be traveling to London as they play against Chelsea, it going to be a very tough game and if Manchester is to win the league we will then know from tomorrow.

And pep even with all this pep will do all just to win everything if he was in the position of arsenal but arsenal was in a good position but they just made it look difficult for them self and it would have not been like this, the best is to get a new coach that will build that club and also get players that are ready to play not like the omces they have now arsenal have a lot of problems and they need to solve a lot of things in other for them to become what they have been wanting even if it is to win the champions League its going to be a huge one for them.

Andy Robertson is already about to sign for Tottenham as free agent. But he has a condition for that of course...

Source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2042911157246128581

He'll accept the offer on the condition that Tottenham manage to stay in the PL this season. If they relegate then it's a no!

Considering the left-backs they have in the squad it'd be an upgrade for Tottenham technically. But let's see if they manage not to relegate first...

[bitgolden]

Carrick is closing in for a new contract with Manchester United day by day... They are the 3rd currently you know and have a good advantage against the team out of top 4 as well!

This week they are facing Leeds at Old Trafford. That looks like a good opportunity to start winning again after the draw they got the last time.

Leeds are 4 points above relegation zone but I can't say they are fully safe. Therefore Carrick had better be careful against them. 

As far as rumours goes, the only possible person who could replace Carrick right now is Louis Enrique if he decides to leave PSG and join United. But let's be realistic, we all know that Enrique would not leave PSG and go to United, no matter how much they offer, and not like PSG do not have the money to match any offer as well.

So it's clear that Carrick is staying and he is going to "probably" finish third place this season as well. That is huge, and next season they could have some transfers for the weak spots and be even better.

[Stormisover]

Arsenal are at it again, like how can one be under this kind of preasure at the same time sees it as nothing, Mikel Arteta and his boys knew too well that at this point in the English premier every points count and every match matters, but they chose to be dumbfounded about that now see what is coming their way, about to bottle the league once again, and i have been saying it that what happened in the year 2023/2024 might still repeat itsef again, now Manchester city is having 2 games now, and they are yet to play Arsenal, i really sense danger for Arsenal.

[Egii Nna]

Arsenal must be consistent because Man City have the mentality they know they can win the PL. Manchester City have one game in hand. Arsenal have played one game more than Man City. Arsenal will be 3 ahead if they lose to Bournemouth and Man City win against Chelsea and Arsenal.

The Gunners had the chance to put gigantic distance between them and Man City at the Emirate Stadium today. Arsenal lost the match against Bournemouth 2-1. Arsenal have 70 points. Man City can have a deficit of 3 with 67 points because they played two games fewer.

We all know Manchester City are capable of winning more games, but we can’t conclude the point interval as 3 points yet because we don’t know if they will be able to win their next two games, which are against Chelsea and also against the same Arsenal. So it’s still a 9 point difference until we see what will happen later in the games, because sometimes Chelsea tends to play beyond expectations. But still, let’s wait and see what happens in tomorrow’s game against Chelsea.

[Dzwaafu11]

I'm of the view that no match is cheap to win ontil you have won it, so, Manchester city are not exempted in the barn of possible points drop too.

What Arsenal did today, have made me conclude that Arsenal will continue to find it difficult to win this league titled despite the gap as long as they can’t maintain their consistency even from small clubs, Arsenal still need to wake-up. Manchester city is not playing, they are ready fight for the tile, and if they continue like this they won’t be winning this title.

Arsenal was playing at home against Bournemouth they lost this match, which is the lost surprising thing, many bettors lost their funds today against Arsenal, because everyone thinking they are going to win the match easily, Manchester city will continue maintaining their consistency. Tomorrow match against Chelsea will decided let’s see what will happen.

[Jessie2121]

Arsenal are at it again, like how can one be under this kind of preasure at the same time sees it as nothing, Mikel Arteta and his boys knew too well that at this point in the English premier every points count and every match matters, but they chose to be dumbfounded about that now see what is coming their way, about to bottle the league once again, and i have been saying it that what happened in the year 2023/2024 might still repeat itsef again, now Manchester city is having 2 games now, and they are yet to play Arsenal, i really sense danger for Arsenal.

Is really stupid to see them mounting too much pressure on themselves, Bournemouth was really enjoying what they were doing just to frustrate Arsenal, hold on, I don't think is pressure but frustration after the game was 1nil for Bournemouth, the fear of losing the game and the title started growing in them because they know the advantage Manchester City have if they lose, tomorrow nobody knows what will happen between City and Chelsea. Now nobody is coming to rescue them out from this mess by beating Manchester City. Last time they relied on Tottenham to win City but son missed that golden opportunity so why would they see Chelsea as the team to help them in this matter? If Arsenal lose this title it won't be a surprise if many players start leaving the club.

[Nightwatchmare]

 
Bournemouth just scored to lead the score line 1-2, and with 15 minutes left in the game, I’m not so sure Arsenal can come back into this game. Can’t believe that Arsenal will be fighting for a draw at the Emirates. The premier league is indeed unpredictable.

Arsenal have started to show their true colour, honestly what the hell is wrong with Arsenal they have gradually went back to their tradition, because this is what I was saying despite the gap they are still in danger because of how the other teams are performing. Arsenal hosted Bournemouth and they could not be able to win their match, what is the kind of embarrassment after giving them all the trust, what they do is to ruin everything at the last moment when they are needed the most. I'm highly disappointed because gradually arsenal are about to lose his trophy again.

Arsenal winning 1 game in their last 4 games is a sign they are back to their true colour, and their loss to Bournemouth means that they have not learned from their past mistakes, because i do not know how Arsenal could lose to Bournemouth in this critical time when they just need to win 5 of their games and become this year premier league champions. I saw Bournemouth as a walk-over opponent for Arsenal and i was confident Arsenal would take 3 points but Arsenal have embarrassed themselves by failing to win Bournemouth when their well wishers were expecting them to win Bournemouth and put Manchester City on pressure.

[KingsDen]

Arnold Slot played Salah today and he gave him a win. But what was actually wrong with Slot and why was he so confident to keep Salah on bench for a champions league match?
Sometimes these things confuse me alot and I try hard to understand them.

Arsenal are at it again, like how can one be under this kind of preasure at the same time sees it as nothing, Mikel Arteta and his boys knew too well that at this point in the English premier every points count and every match matters, but they chose to be dumbfounded about that now see what is coming their way, about to bottle the league once again, and i have been saying it that what happened in the year 2023/2024 might still repeat itsef again, now Manchester city is having 2 games now, and they are yet to play Arsenal, i really sense danger for Arsenal.

There is a big danger. I was thinking that Arsenal will still survive comfortably until someone called my attention to this analysis.

If Manchester city wins 2 of their matches, they will be only 3 points behind Arsenal and that 3 points could be settled in their meeting with Arsenal and if they eventually wins Arsenal, it's gone for Arsenal because Manchester City has higher goal difference.

After this season and Arsenal fear to lift the Premier league title, the coach should quietly resign because he’s not capable of handling and being a coach. he has this inconsistency in him and he can never change. He makes the wrong choice when it comes to players and he don’t know how to use these players very well with all the squad he has he is still struggling to lift a title this season. He has lost the FA cup. He has lost the caribou cup to Manchester City and who knows he can also loss the Premier league trophy. It is already showing that there is a possibility of him losing the Premier league title if they lose the next match against Manchester city and Manchester city win their match tomorrow then it’s over for Arsenal.

Andy Robertson at Tottenham is Not good deal for a player like Andy Robertson.  Tottenham are at relegation zone and their form is so poor in the Premier League. most of Tottenham player Transfer Value are alredy fallen even they are not relegate from the premier league. So in my eye Andy Robertson to Tottenham is totally a bad deal for Andy.  I know Andy is free agent at the end of the season but their agent need some other options rather then Tottenham.

Newcastle and Everton is a good option for Andy Robertson Because their play style can match in the Everton & Newcastle squad.  Andy Robertson is More Like transition play style player Rather then Counter Attack or Slow pitch Play so they can easily fit in the Newcastle & Everton squad.

This is Arsenal, they trouble the big teams and then a mid team will harm them. Their inconsistencies are still very much available.

Manchester City needs to capitalise on this tomorrow against my team Chelsea tomorrow before I can say they are actually having a chance of snatching the league from Arsenal.
City themselves haven't been consistent this season for me to believe they are going to turn things around now, but let's see, hopefully they do.

[Webutxo]

Arsenal are at it again, like how can one be under this kind of preasure at the same time sees it as nothing, Mikel Arteta and his boys knew too well that at this point in the English premier every points count and every match matters, but they chose to be dumbfounded about that now see what is coming their way, about to bottle the league once again, and i have been saying it that what happened in the year 2023/2024 might still repeat itsef again, now Manchester city is having 2 games now, and they are yet to play Arsenal, i really sense danger for Arsenal.

If they explain Arsenal to you, it will take long time before you may be able to understand the kind of game they are playing. If there is anything Arteta should learn from this season is the fact that all Arsenal players are over exhausted, now that they have approach to the finish line, it's becoming hard for them to win the rest of the matches, if they later lose this trophy it's not gong to be funny, they are going to be bullied and I don't think they will be close to the Premier League like before again.

However, even with this uncertainty I think Manchester City are in position to determine if a arsenal are going to win this league or not. Right now even as bad as it look, they are ahead of Manchester City with 4 point if they win the two matches that is pending and if they lose these two matches, then lucky Arsenal they have hopes of winning the League without any problems, the rest of the matches will still determine the winners.

Tomorrow Manchester city will be traveling to London as they play against Chelsea, it going to be a very tough game and if Manchester is to win the league we will then know from tomorrow.

Arsenal had several opportunity to top the league with many points because they happen to be the only consistent team in the English Premier league this season but recently they started losing and playing draws. Arsenal will be under pressure now because winning the tittle seems impossible for them again, if Manchester City wins Chelsea on Sunday it's possible that Manchester City can win the English Premier league tittle which will be too bad for Arsenal.

Arsenal losing 1-2 to Bournemouth today has increased Manchester City chances of winning the tittle.
