Former Manchester United full-back turned pundit, Gary Neville still doubts Arsenal’s ability to finish this season inside the top four.
The Gunners have spent the last few weeks in the fourth position and they have consistently been improving.
While they continue to win games, United has been struggling for form and recently lost to Manchester City, again.
Arsenal has had their fair share of inconsistent form in this campaign, but Mikel Arteta’s side seems to be over that now and we can expect them to consistently win games.
However, Neville remains an Arsenal doubter and claims in a recent interview that he doesn’t trust the Gunners, and he believes United will beat them to the fourth spot.
He said via The Sun: “I still think United could [get fourth place]. I don’t trust Arsenal fully.
“Manchester United have still got to go to Arsenal, there’s a long way to go.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Opinions like this only make us stronger and we have done admirably well as underdogs so far.
It is a good thing that some fans and pundits still believe we are pretenders for a place in the top four.
All our players need to do now is to keep winning matches and end this season on a high.
He’s talking out of his arse ,i usually like Gary but this time I cannot agreee ,that club is in a right mess if the press are to be believed and the stories come out of there .
Only club to pose a danger will be the spuds as they have a top class manager and a sound team .
All the other pretenders have dropped off .
By next Saturday lunch time we should have a clearer picture after we’ve played villa
I think it is a stretch too far for Wolves now but surely West Ham are still in it Dan?
They are 3 points behind having played 3 games more and have you seen their fixture list! Spurs are the only threat now really. I mean United could do it, I just don’t see it happening. Think a United win v Spurs would be ideal for us for that reason rather than the draw.
Man utd beating Spurs is definitely the best result for us this gameweek given they then face Liverpool at Anfield the following weekend, where they almost certainly will drop 3 points.
Ridiculous statement from a biased pundit. If he isn’t convinced by Arsenal due to lack of consistency, fair enough.
But to imply that Utd has any consistency or recent form to base their finish on is absurd. Utd recently would be lucky to win back to back matches, they are completely 6’s and 7’s at the moment.
I’ll be waiting for his follow up comments at the end of the season regarding the table placement of the clubs, and the reasons for said placements.
we should not blame Neville let’s wait and see if arsenal will make it… then we can insult him.
If anyone is going to pip us for the 4th spot, its Spurs. They’ve had inconsistencies against “small” teams but away win against City shows us they can cause huge upsets against the big teams. Also they have no other competition left, similar to us.
United on the other hand is a mess. Their problems lie much deeper.
United are in disarray and have the toughest remaining fixtures. Spurs are the main threat and Imo West ham will drop out of contention soon. We our the favourites, my only slight concern is our tricky run of away games and possible injuries could derail us.
He is high on some cheap weed. As it stands I consider spurs as our only contender for the fourth position.we have got a point more than united while played three games less.United still have to play Liverpool and spurs in the next few weeks , with some other tricky games against leceister and Everton before they play us. I see the losing a minimum of six point out of a possible 15 and they is rather being optimistic for them.That means if united doesn’t lose any other match which not so impossible considering they awful form, we would have to loose more than 16 points before the end of the season for them to past us on the table.I really don’t see us losing more than 13 points before season ends.
However we are just six point ahead of spurs with much difficult games ahead for us.So tots are actually still in contention for the champions league places.
Don’t agree with Neville. However, Arsenal players, coaching staff and fans need to keep their feet firmly on the ground. We may be favorites but there are still 13 games left, thats a third of the season left.
Someone should tell Nevel that the spuds are United’s biggest rivals for 5th place
I think man.u is our closest rival for fouth cos am sure they will beat Spurs, and I don’t see us losing to Spurs either..
I really won’t blame Gary because if even me I don’t trust my Arsenal😩….
Spare him,he’ll get over it.
he’s right in that it would be incredibly short-sighted for anyone to “fully trust” our club, but the fact that he suggested that his former club was somehow more trustworthy, considering their relative inconsistency this season, was clearly a take rife with personal bias
What a surprise! Neville chooses his former team. While it is true that Manchester United have the bigger payroll, they haven’t shown to be a better team this year.
Tell him we don’t really care what he thinks about us. If Arsenal swapped places with Man U would he have said the same of Man U? Their hopes for top four this season are over. The sooner he realizes that the better for him,
