I have this overwhelming feeling that the gods are with Arsenal this year. On to the next round of matches.

I did not see the game but it sounded like they fought tooth and nail for their win and they deserved it.
From 0-2 down to 3-2, 31 shots Vs. 4, all goals sounded legit, no penalties given their way, etc...
Well done, they are fighting, not panicking and that is to be admired.
Arsenal should get 9 points from their next three games, then they start that really difficult run of 7 games.
We need to stay within touching distance so that everyone of those games is like a cup final to Arsenal i.e. draining them.
The title destination will probably come down to stamina and keeping a cool head.
Games like Arsenal's today build confidence but the flip side is they drain teams mentally and physically.
You can only go to the well so often and Arsenal have been their a few times recently.
They four games in quick succession now, thur - sun - thur - sun, more demands on their players even if they rest some of them.
Arsenal are favorites IMO but If City can keep it to 5 points for the next three games, Arsenal will then have it all to do.

That's fine if all teams are reffed in the same way but they are not. We get keepers taking half a minute for goal kicks from the 1st minute and no bookings until the 88th if at all, our keeper booked in the 1st half for time wasting against Arsenal. No excess added on time in our games for the time wasting. Our players get booked for the first foul yet certain players are allowed to foul continuously without a card. Different rules.

When Arsenal scored the winner the full bench, players and staff, ran on the pitch. Did Arsenal not just get a fine, along with ourselves, for failing to control their players. Surely another fine coming up?
