Yes, of course.
We should be at least 6-7 points clear at the top of the league, this was our chance to run away with it, with City being equally shocking.
But still think we'll win it

Spurs of Leicester?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That team would defiantly with the league!
He should resign regardless at the end of the season but if Spurs or Leicester win it, then most definitely.
2 very big games sunday...if arsenal loose I think they'll be shot and devoid of belief that they can chase lesta down.
win on the other hand....and I think they will go onto win the prem.
"He should resign regardless at the end of the season but if Spurs or Leicester win it, then most definitely."
If he won the league it would be very harsh to say he should resign.
Anything else though and it's hard to see where he goes from there.
If Spurs of Leicester win it then yeah, but that's hypothetical. We're title favourites and chances are we'll finish above both.
He's here until 2019 when he turns 70

I think Spurs are capitalising on the normal top teams being weaker this year and I'm not so sure that with a stronger field they'd be looking at a title challenge.
They've uncovered some talented players rather than spent money, and I think Leicester's season shows you that it's not only about spending money. It's very well documented that Wenger consistently puts too much faith in below-par or frequently injured players and subsequently fails to address our weaknesses bi-annually. Wenger is not going to change in this regard so he'll probably only win another title when he lucks out one season with injuries and potential converted to actual ability.
I'm not one to say I want managers fired and I'd quite like to see Wenger vs Pep but it's sure-as-hell been frustrating being an Arsenal fan over the last 10 years!
I don't see why Arsene should resign if not winning Premier League this season. But the next time he does, it'll be his 4th with Arsenal. That's the time to resign.
No. You'll still win the FA Cup.
Yes he should, although Arsenal will win the FA cup beating championship sides at home in every round, including the final
I like Arsene and what he has done for Arsenal and the premier league in general. The invincible team (and seasons around that) were incredible.
I have a lot of respect for him
But it does feel like he has been there too long now, he just doesn't have the same magic and doesn't seem to enjoy it as much. I feel that someone else could come in and freshen it up a bit. He won't make a team as good as what he had in the golden days.
They're still bang in the title race this year though, make no mistake.

haha in the last 2 years in the FS we have faced - Manchester United, Spurs, Everton, Liverpool hardly a cake walk of team.
In the last 13 games Arsenal won 22 points and I've peedicted 26 or 28 max if you beat us.
City picked up 21, Spurs and Leicester 27. I think the max Spurs will get is 24 and City 27.
Arsenal 74 or 76
City 74
Spurs 71
That leaves Leicester chasing 22 points if we draw with Arsenal but if we win, we only need 19 from the remaining 12. Our points to game ratio is currently 2.12 so we would have to drop below 1.69 to fail to reach 75 points.
I think that shows that it's up to everyone else to do better than they have done so far and for us to go through a spell worse than over Christmas.
Arsene Wengooner

Nonsense argument.
Things move on.
Nothing stays the same for ever. Not Spurs fault the so called better teams have become weaker. FFS they have all thrown pots of money at supposedly getting stronger.

Hull in a cup final.....and Villa, under DimTim. Wigan & Reading in the Semi finals. Could not have hand picked it any better.
All the LFC, THFC and Everton games were at home.
You beat Utd away last season....i'll give you that one, a good result.

I really do not see Arsenal winning the premiership. Frankly not good enough, they have so many weak links all over their team, Flamini in midfield, Mertesacker at the back, not sure who to play up front, they are not settled, and as I said a couple of weeks back, the only teams they have beaten since November, languish in the bottom half of the table or Championship sides in the FA Cup. They simply are not playing well enough to be champions. Sure they are there or thereabouts again, but they simply are not convincing me.

We have at least one win against all of the rest of the current top 5 too.

Crystal Ball time again is it
in 2012/13, Arsenal were 6th with 41 points after 25 games....in their last 13 games they W10D2L1 picking up 32 points out of 39 points.
The year before, after 25 games, Spurs had 53 points (like Leicester do now). They had Bale, Modric, King, VDV etc. They were on a roll. We won 4 of the remaining 13 games, picking up 16 points.
You just cannot predict what will happen...anyone of those top teams could do an Arsenal and storm to the title or could slip up and go backwards.
Enjoy the ride, but give up on your boring predictions
