Szczesny, Man City, United, Chelsea and Arsenal can all still win the Premiership
The Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny believes that the narrow defeat by Man City on Sunday showed that the gap between the top four teams is very little indeed, and there are still four teams capable of winning the title.
Although City have a lead at the moment, Szczesny is certain that there will be many more twists and turns before the end of the season. He said: “At the moment, it is too big a gap to Man City but we hope we can make it smaller and then realistically we can talk about challenging for the title.”
“City will drop points. They lost against Chelsea, who are a good side that seem to have got their confidence back now. We are confident, playing well while they are on top of the league but Man United are catching up. Everyone can win it still.”
But the young Pole has already predicted that Tottenham will drop out of the race in the New Year, leaving the new Big Four to contest the Champions League places, but as he said, there is little to choose between the Gunners and the cash-rich City side.
He said: “I don’t think there is a big gap between the teams in terms of quality.”
“They just got the winning goal and that was the difference. But we showed on Sunday that we are just as good as the richest team and possibly, at the moment, the best team in the league so that gives us confidence we can beat everyone else.
“I thought it was a very good game of football,” he added. “Both teams played well and were very positive. It looked like the first team to score was always going to win the game and unfortunately for us it happened for them.
“I am very disappointed about the result but there were lots of positives to take out of the game. We created chances and played very well so we are confident going into the Christmas period that we can get the results.”
T here is no reason why Arsenal can’t win their next three games and see their rivals drop a few in the meantime, but is it too early to write off the Spuds completely?

Yes you got to love Szczesny for his confidence and reluctance to give in. It’s highly admirable and shows true character of a young man ready to fight for the team he loves. His passion is something I hope more fans embrace even when we’re down. He’s a future Captain in my eyes.
Szczesny, if you’re reading this, keep battling mate. You have our 100% support and devotion.

Yea there is still alot going for Totts, but i think they have 8 games in 3 weeks coming up. so by Feb 1st, it will be a different story.
We HAVE to win our next three games, all easy teams.
And we have to BUY in January.

This is one confident young lad with skills and passion for the club, unlike some Dane who is super over-confident but has little to offer. I’m sure one day Szceszny/Wilshere will become one of our club captain after RVP hang up his boots for Gunners.
Confidence is a good thing, but it’s still too early to say anything right now, we need them to prove it on the field and comes January we will see the real outcome.

You cant say City are not better then us…
We lost 1-0 to them twice this season even though we played well they got the result. Good teams dont play well and still get the points which is what they did.

It could go either way, but I think it is safe to say City will win the league. After the performance on Sunday, they were good and I mean we didn’t play bad at all.
What I do wonder is if Man United will be able to continue their streak of lucky victories? They are continually pulling off these 1 – 0 narrow wins…they cannot keep it up forever. Also Chelsea are very up and down…they beat City but lose to bum teams. Spurs have injury woes, their two wingers down atm, so it will be interesting to see if they can continue their winning form. We must not forget they have a game in hand. Liverpool should also not be underestimated. Currently they have the same amount of points as us. I wouldn’t take them lightly.
My bet is on Chelsea and Liverpool taking the plunge. I think Spurs have what it takes this season to make it into the top 4.
1. City
2. United
3. Arsenal
4. Spurs
5. Chelsea
6. Liverfool

I like the confidence of our goalkeeper, but we requist the manager wenger to add our squad this january transfer at least 5 players, 1 forward, 1 midfield, 2 wingers and 1 defender, we love/like to see either Mario Gotze or E.Hazard, Podoliski, G.Cahil, Gourgouf or L.Modric, and striker Cavani. Also we need to see other players such as our legend T.Henery(loan), Jadson, Vertoughan and Benzema. good think. In Arsene we trust.

Big Gun I have better option of finnal premier league table: 1. Arsenal
2. City
3. Chelsea
4. United
As for sunday game vs shity it is considerable that we missed four squad players: sagna, santos, wilshere and diaby. imagine how shity could made any danger attack to arsenal if there would have been sagna and santos out Djourou and rough Per. I already hate that German CB who falls on the grass everytime and never helps Verminator with his stuff game. I believe he woun’t improve his game like koscielny did. sell him with squilaci, djourou, arshavin.
P.S Everyone mentions Diaby with Arsenal’s stuff players like squillaci, djourou, almunia, arshavin BUT I think Diaby is far more better player than arteta, ramsey and song. I don’t like artetas game at all he plays the same level every game not good not bad, just plays.

We’ll be lucky to finish sixth at this rate as Gibbs is out for a few more weeks due to a set back just announced. Unfortunately as much as I hate to admit it spuds will likely finish two or three places above us.

I absolutely love this young man, boy oh boy is he future of this club. Made some fantastic saves over the weekend against man city and the scary thing for other clubs is that hes only 21 years old and improving game by game!
He has the potential to be one the best, as for Arsenal winning the prem, i believe its possible as a fan but as a realist it seems highly unlikely, but then again you never know…

As much as I hate Spurs, the fact that they are only in two competitions and crucially out of the Europa league, they have a lot more time to prepare their players for a strong season, Everton are not the team they were even three years ago so that game in hand is practically three points. Their turn of injuries should be coming up soon, and some bigs games should mean they drop points. Full faith in the Arsenal and will be 100% behind them until the final game of the season. Gunners for life.
