Would you sign for 4th now?

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Hell no!

 

[GunnerShy]

I'd take it. We've been great so far. But most the big six have started pretty well. The only team we've opened a gap up on is Liverpool. That said, I'm confident we will finish 2nd or 3rd it's just, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

With pace we going at worst we'll finish is 2nd of course we only 9 games but honestly i don't care about title it'll be major achievement but don't take a step that you can't reach we been going step by step and it's going according to plan we need top 4 first. If we want major trophy this season then europa league should be our target. In league we need to be consistent and even we do that it doesn't help when you competing with freak and experienced team like man city we can finish with 90 points and they'll finish with 95

 

[Game Over]

Get 2nd, plus CL revenue and we can make some serious moves in the summer to really close the gap. We’d look a serious club again for the first time in years and surely more attractive to players who could lift this team another level.

Fold and scrape fourth wouldn’t have the same positive impact.

Let’s hope this team can maintain this trajectory and finish the season strong.

 

[Pop Tart]

I want the title, we are clearly good enough to get top 4 with squad we have. Jesus and zinny have taken us up a notch. Also the return of saliba. I don't think we will win the title. City have the depth in squad and a genetic freak in Haaland who has the wc off.

Nothing wrong with dreaming.

 

[Anders Harbo]

Still setling for top four?

 

[14Henry]

Still think we need to air on the side or caution. A couple of draws and the gap is reduced to the likes of Sp**s/Chelsea/United.

We absolutely need top 4. It doesn't matter if its in the form of 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Let's hope we keep rolling along.

2nd, 3rd, 4th and maybe a cup would be brilliant.

A title win? Well I think even Arteta most staunch critics would have to say he's some man for one man.

We’ve made serious moves since 2019, second biggest investment in player transfers of all 5 major European leagues. And that’s without CL football. KSE are already backing the club big time and will likely continue. Happy days.

Would you sign for this now?

Yes without a doubt.

Would you sign for this now?

Not a chance, ‘all or nothing’.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Would you sign for this now?

I'd be hoping for 80 points tbh, this indicates a massive fall off at some stage.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Would you sign for this now?

No. A total of 76 points would mean a massive drop off, and we finished 2nd in 2015/2016 as well. What did that bring us?

Let's hope for some City slip ups and keep going. Dream big.

It brought us Champions League Football something we haven’t had for years. I would sign up for the top four now. We haven’t even played a third of the season and we will be battling it out with Sp**s, United, Chelsea and Liverpool that’s going to be hard enough. Our home record might be championship winning level, but until we start winning at places like anfield and white Harte lane we should keep our feet on the ground imo

 

[BigPoppaPump]

If we don't finish top 2 I'm Arteta out again.

 

[MartiSaka]

Would you sign for this now?

Don Robbie table predictor, lol. Assuming not a particularly sophisticated model - seems pool doesn’t lose again this season and everyone else in Top6 have big slumps apart from city (know he is probably rebranding someone else model but it seems AFTV level)

 

[MartiSaka]

We should definitely be aiming for above 80 points after this start IMO; we can’t control what city do apart from two games

Robbie didn’t make it, if you look at the bottom of the graphic you can see he got the data from FiveThirtyEight

 

[SA Gunner]

Pretty much my focus as well, think if we can get to 36 points before the world cup we stand a good chance. That means we win Southampton, Forest and Wolves.

If we get the maximum at Chelsea, then my hopes jump up more, possibly 85 points.

But I will still sign up for top 4 today, because the season is far too long and last season is still with me.

?

Winning at these places is only necessary for winning the league, not getting Top 4. In fact you could win at those places and still not get Top 4 by having atrocious form against lower half opponents. Those wins mean almost nothing in the race for Top 4.

Last year we didn't lose because of Tottenham.
We lost because of Palace, Brighton, Southhampton and Newcastle.

If we won those we'd been comfortably Top 4. Which is what we're doing this season.
