    Is the 21-Year Wait Finally Over for Arsenal?
    Gentlemen, we’re 16 games deep into the 25/26 campaign and the landscape has shifted. Arsenal is sitting top of the pile (45 pts), and for the first time in three years, the books might actually be right to fear them.

      I'm gonna say NO. My reasons:
      1) Arsenal are bottlers.
      2) Man City is coming on strong.
      3) I really don't rate Arteta as a strong mgr.

      ARS is 1.62 to win title right now. I'd gladly take Field 2.20 (vs ARS).
      Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

          If Leicester City can do it anything is possible.

            ARSENAL FAN TV is hilarious. These guys think they OWN the team.

              Yeah I recognize the fat black guy on the panel Robbie Lyle. He is the same way when he covers England as well.

                Doesn't matter if they score on every 5th corner they get. From what I've seen, corners by Arsenal in 2025 are the equivalent of the Eagles' tush push in 2024. Basically unguardable

                  After only 19 games , Arsenal look to be the team to beat in the EPL. They are starting to get a healthy squad for the stretch run , and the dismantling of Villa was very impressive ( they broke their 12 ? game winning streak ). The next 2 weeks will have an impact with League , EFL , FA and Ch League games on tap. If they come through relatively unscathed , this could be their year to win a few trophies.

                    Follow Premier League standings, overall, home/away and form (last 5 games) Premier League 2026 standings.


                    Your question is an interesting one:
                    1) ARS is now 1.29 to win (after recent results).
                    2) Man City drew 0-0 at SUND. I'd rate that as a little un-lucky. ManCity came close, and GK Roefs came up big.
                    3) Man City led 1-0 vs CHEL. Conceded very late, 1-1 draw.
                    4) Most rate Arsenal's Cent Def pairing as quite good. Both missed the loss at AST Villa.
                    5) Man City is surely the only real challenger to ARS. 6 pts back with 18 games to play, bigger deficits have been clipped.

                    I'm torn. I don't rate this ARS team as great. They've bottled it in the past, do they have the DNA?
                    ...I'm probably too pessimistic. Does look like it's their year.
