Can we win the title this season?

[Héctor24]

Didn't we already win the calendar league in 2013?


Chuck in that with the stamina league and really what the f**k have we got to moan about?

i heard we're winning the calender league this year as well

[Highbury Hillbilly]

If we drop out of CL in the group stages, and keep Sanchez, Walcott and Coquelin fit, and bring in a backup DM for January, possibly. Otherwise, no.

[Smitty_AFC]

If we avoid Mike Dean & Anthony Taylor we have a shot

[Arsenal ad infinitum]

See no reason why we can't... bar Wenger of course.

The league is in complete shambles with its quality on a nosedive trajectory for quite some time now.

A bit of luck on the injury front, coupled with a few seemingly hungry players and we could cop our 1st league title in just over a decade inspite of Wenger.

[22-0]

we'll have a decent run... then injuries kick in.... wenger will blame this and that... people will say we tried....

same shit every season.

[arsenalpan]

mc will be having a hard time in october. mu might not recover from the 0:3 lose soon. so it is very likely we can lead the league by the end of october. and if no major injury before xmas we may have 6-8 points more than the 2nd

[DiamondGooner]

Barring no injuries we could come 2nd, think we'd need a proper hot streak to stop City from out lasting us with their bench.

I have a lot of faith in the trio of Ozil, Sanchez and Walcott but this also depends on whether or not Wenger starts nutty professor experimenting with the team, 4141 again or starting Giroud over a convincing Walcott, put Ozil as LB ......... anything can happen.

Wenger usually undoes his own work so?

[Big17]

I've got mates that support Spurs, United and Chelsea. All backing us to win the title... it's quite mad considering how strong City looked at the start of the season.

[DiamondGooner]

We lost to Olymiakos and Zagreb, fair enough that's more of an indictment of our CL campaign rather than the prem but I need to see a good 4-5 more games before I'd have any reason to count us as favorites for the title.

Your mates don't know the pain AFC fans go through obviously, we're wiser.

both silva and aguero got injured. mc may lose 2 of the 4 pl games in october.

[Pudpop]

2 key injuries to City... I peg us to be top at the end of October.

If AW can pull off the league this season despite only buying Cech and not getting our ST/DM then hats off tbf.

Don't see it happening though

[Santi]

still have all the big away games after january so won't be excited unless we're clear by a few at christmas.

[ESFSAFC]

Two points off the top with how badly we have played at times I'd say we can.

We are more likely to continue improving as players get used to each other more, Ozil, Walcott and Sanchez. Gabriel and Kos. If those and Coq stay fit it gives us a great chance.

Walcott is improving as a ST but still needs too many chances and Ramsey can not stay at this level for much longer, eventually his passing, shooting, tackling, positioning(unsure if rw) and decision making will improve.

City are our only opposition really, Utd under LVG will never be consistent enough and Chelsea are imploding. Out of those three clubs City are the one's I'd want to go against, last second winner for first title and a Liverpool collapse(slip) for the second.

[starmandb]

Tbh i still say no. We have dramatically improved but remember we lost to olympiacos and we still had a strong team out.

We were quality against united but did they such us, will we still struggle against dogged mobile teams that have some sort of organistion

Yes we can
We lost to paok salonika in 97/98
We lost to Schalke, panathinikos and real Mallorca in 01/02
We lost to dynamo kyiv in 03/04

[Sims]

No reason why we can't. But we won't.
