f****ng journos-what do they know-they’re so far up MANURES ARSE! they couldn’t give an honest appraisal if they tried…if we won the title with the amount of injuries we’ve suffered this season including missing our main striker & withoubt spending a shed load of money to acheive it,unlike the rest of the top 6/8 it would withoubt a doubt go down as wengers/arsenal greatest title successs to date-the journos are shitting themselves at the prospect of it & are getting their anti arsenal drivel in already!!

Great job, mate and incisive reading too. Very few pundits care to analyse such a break down of the facts! I know I am one of those waiting with bated breath for Arsenal to lift the trophy this season, taking it one game at a time. The top 2 will drop more points than we are likely to. The signs are clear: we have been beating the lower placed teams, with relative consistency; now, of the 11 games left, we have only 3 uncertain (yet winnable)games into the run-in. So, why not the title?

Thanks for all your comments.

I was going to reply to Wayne to point out that all he’s done is highlight a completely different set of stats to me, so we’re actually both right and the aggression isn’t exactly called for, but Alan put it more succintly than I could, so thanks for that!

Put simply, I don’t think you can be undeserving champions. If Chelsea or United win the rest of their games and lift the title, they will deserve it. Same with us.

FUCK YEAH. great stats pointed out and such.but

yeah exactly, we would not be undeserving champions. so we played weaker on the day to those sides, we played stronger against some of the same sides they lost or draw to.

point is these stats pretty much show that anything can happen on a saturday or sunday.

but given arsenals particular skill and style, they have a very good chance of taking many points for the last games. and we all know manu and chelsea (isn’t chelsea a girls name?) will drop points. good stuff

the fact that we are still in the race this season ihs due to our remarkably good defence record against the smaller teams. Say what you may say about our supposedly weak defence which has leaked in 30 so far, but if you take away the number of goals conceded against united n chelsea (home n away) n the 4-2 drubbing at the hands of manc, our record at the back, against the rest, stands at 16 goals conceded in 22 matches which doesnt look that bad actually! this is where the contributions of Tv5, Billy Gallas and Song have made a diff… If they can remain fit n injury free for the rest of the season, think we can still win it!

Alan, you mean United got 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats ?

Wayne – why don’t you read the article? What facts are wrong?

It says that Man U got 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats against the top four teams last season. You say they got five points against Arsenal and Chelsea. As they got no points against Liverpool, you are correct. As was this article.

The article says that this season Arsenal have gone Won 2 Lost 4 against the tradiational Big Four teams. You say they have got no points against Man U and Chelsea. However, they beat Liverpool twice. Again, you are both correct.

So quite how you can justify your “Get ur facts right mate” I’m not quite sure. The article is factually accurate. You decided to quote back some different facts, which didn’t involve Liverpool. Doesn’t make these facts wrong.

don’t take any notice of what those fat fools on the sunday supplement say. like i said before many times: the title is 38 games. not 4 against manure and mickey mouse. the team that gains the most points over 38 games wins the title and they ALWAYS deserve it. it’s as simple as that i don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
