Thank you Sp**s for that lifeline!
Well that was a turn up for the books wasn’t it!
I said after our game that if we end the weekend still five points clear I would be very surprised. And here we are, I am very surprised!
So, thank you Tottenham.
Three words I’d never thought I’d hear myself say I must admit, but really I am thankful to Spurs for downing City this weekend.
Are we feeling a little better today Gooners? I know I am.
And it is all thanks to our long-standing rivals Spurs who did us a massive favour in this title race by beating Manchester City 1-0, to keep the gap at five points this weekend. Let’s hope that this result spurs Arsenal on to get that great form back and go on to win the league.
I must admit, I do know there will be a lot of twists and turns to come, but I feel a little more relieved today than I was feeling on Saturday night.
And who knows maybe come the end of the season this particular weekend will be where we look back and say that was the turning point of a season that may well see us lift the Premier League title after nearly 20 years without one.
But if we have to thank Tottenham for that then I’d be more than happy to do so.
All in all after Saturdays game, it didn’t turn out to be a bad weekend for the Arsenal despite our 1-0 loss to Everton.
Let’s hope that defeat is the last one we see in the league this season🙏🏼
But of course, with the rest of the season it is down to how we perform in our remaining games but we know what we need to do.
We need to push on after this weekend as we have been given a big big chance and somewhat of a lifeline with this latest City loss and we must take big advantage of that.
Where we can start with going on a good run of winning games, beginning on the weekend against Brentford.
Plus, we too can hope that if Spurs can beat that City team then surely we have a good chance to get something out of the two games we have to play against them right?
Here’s hoping hey Gooners!

And if Everton can beat us, should we be overly optimistic of beating Brentford this weekend?
Football is unpredictable and dynamic.
Everton is not Brentford.
We will be playing in our home so we should be able to dominate and outscore them.
Not really unexpected as I think that’s 5th home game jn a row Spuds have beaten Citeh !
Don’t think it makes any difference to our match. .the beauty of PL is anyone can beat any other team on any given day !
NEIL it may well not “make any difference to our match(with City)” but it sure as hell makes our title challenge less difficult. That cannot be doubted and City are not the City of the last few seasons, though still special.
I believe that their emphasis on HAALAND to score goals has robbed them of more than they have gained. He is almost invisible outside the box and when he fails to score, he contributes very little, TBH!
Totties have their own agenda to finish top 4 so I don’t have to thank them for anything. If Arsenal to lose after halfway, the timing couldn’t be more right than the defeat at Everton. Let’s say Arteta got a stun, the players got a kick in the arse and the fans stop dreaming high. There’s lot more work and results to produce for the club to become champions of England again. After this dose of reality check, I expect the team to bounce back quickly before the crunch against Man City.
Shenel Not perhaps the deepest thinking regular writer on JA , but all the same, her optimistic antidote to DANS regular negative takes is heartwarming and therefore welcome.
DAN is however despite his general gloom, a far better and deeper thinker than Shenel. Some of his pieces are special with real insight.
