The funny thing with Arsenal fans is that the main problems they have with their team are the main problems they have as fans.
They moan about the team bottling it, yet all their fans have given up on the title despite being closer to it now than in previous seasons. Then they moan about their team lacking passion, yet they're renowned for their poor atmosphere.
The guy in the video is clearly an idiot too, and not just cause he speaks like one. He laments the fact that Leicester are above Arsenal having spent so little yet demands more money be spent to improve their squad e.g. £25m on Ramires? Embarrassing.

They're a pathetic bunch. Piling on the pressure when they could be inspiring their team for a final surge.
Moronic behaviour.

Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes had no doubt his side would come away with victory against the “small team” Arsenal on Sunday.

I wonder if they realise surrounding his car and invading his privacy with their camera phones is probably going to make him do the opposite of what they want
In terms of being ahead of Arsenal I'd be cautious about our chances. We've been in better positions than this before and finished behind them on each occasion.
We were 2-0 up and Adebayor got sent off and would have been 13 points ahead had we won with 12 games to go but we lost 5-2 and were 7 points clear.

Then following season after beating them 2-1 we were 7 points clear with 10 games to go.

You all know what happened next unfortunately.
I don't think we'll win the title and agree with Ferguson that Leicester will have it wrapped up with 3 games to go. I think Arsenal always do well after getting knocked out of Europe so I still expect them to finish strongly despite their current form. I hope I'm wrong.

This. All over.
They just have a knack at finishing strongly after a Feb-March slump. The title falls away but they have a way of finishing above us.
All things change but I rue the Sanchez equaliser - it could have done more than just put us 6 points clear but really underlined our supremacy this term.
I just hope our boys can see this out and play like they've never played before... by beating everyone in these last 8 games. It could happen. COYS!

To be fair both those seasons it wasn't so much that their form was amazing it was that we massively wobbled.
In 2011-12 after losing to them, we then lost our next two games as well to man u and everton, then we drew with stoke and chelsea. Five games without a win 3 defeats 2 draws. So after 29 games were already behind them. We then beat swansea, drew with sunderland and lost to norwich! P8 W1 D3 L4. Horrible, horrible form.
We also fell away from top 4 form in 2012-13. After beating the scum we lost our next two games to liverpool and chuffing fulham. After that drawing two of the next 4 games, including against chuffing wigan
So it's not some magic voodoo helping the scum it was just us being total flakes at the business end of the season. Here's hoping it's different this time
True but history for us can repeat itself. We have challenging games ahead with psychological battles to overcome.
We have a poor record in Anfield with just a couple of wins, not won at Stamford Bridge for 25 years, not beaten United at home in 15 years and that was a meaningless game too. Also Stoke on a weekday night. This isn't going to be easy and by that I mean finishing second let alone the title.

I know every game involving us and our rivals is currently billed as a MASSIVE game - but their game at Everton is MASSIVE.
If they lose and both us and Leicester win - then I think actually yes, you can say their title challenge is finished. Ignoring what we do, if they manage to win and Leicester mess up then they are right back in it again. As I say MASSIVE game.
Please, please let them lose. From what we have seen on this thread the meltdown will provide some highly amusing entertainment.

Gonna be a cracking game. If Everton win there'll be meltdown a-plenty but then they will refocus everything onto finishing above us (which is pretty sad, really). If we happen to finish above them then it will protests and boycotts.

I see Lukaku causing their patched defence all sorts of trouble. Hopefully he and the others can finish and stay focused at the back.

If Leicester don't win then an Arsenal defeat this weekend doesn't put them out of the title race, although psychologically you'd have to think it would end them.
Everton are pap at home, but Lukaku has destroyed them before, and they'll have a second string defence against him to boot.
This is traditionally where they go on a bit of a post-Champions League exit run of form, but I think they are one defeat from completely crumbling.
