Sad case for arsenal is they will lead the table till april. Then when may comes, they will 'slip' and lose the title.
It's the same as watching a 5km athletics race. The really good runners will purposely let someone be the frontrunner and be their pacer. The good runners will only start to overtake when there are 1,2 rounds to go.
hmm.
i believe your comments were against the season 04-05?
Based on history, arsenal always perform at the start of the season, but whether the team will last til the end, not only depends on Arsenal, but also on the way the rest of the title contenders manage their team and their scoreline.
The Current Arsenal Players are much much fitter. they are still running round the pitch at villa park. Their mentality must be strong. To be able to make full use of their chances.
I strongly believe the current Arsenal squad are able to lift the BPL title at the end of the season. Regardless of how the rest of the club fares, as long we are able to grab maximum points from each and every of our BPL matches.
