After Arsenal lost to Manchester City and effectively ended their title hopes, I knew it wouldn’t be difficult for Manchester City not to win the Premier League again this season. Mikel Arteta has already given up hope after declaring that they have already accomplished something fantastic this season, namely qualification for the Champions League. After that statement, I knew the title competition was gone, and Arsenal will gladly take whatever position they end up in the league because their champion league status for next season is already assured.
I think so too. After Arsenal lost to Manchester City late last month, I knew their hopes of winning the league was starting to diminish. They have had a very good run and it’s only a pity they couldn’t actually claim the first place. I guess they’re satisfied with second place and qualifying for the champions league next season.
I definitely wasn’t expecting a loss from Arsenal when they had met with Nottm Forest. Arsenal had a whole lot of time with the ball in their possession but couldn’t make anything of it. They had made a very bad blunder with their passing that caused their opponents to put in a goal and then found it impossible to equalize.
