If only we had sacked Ruben a few weeks earlier, we might have been in with a shout when Arsenal bottled it. Seriously though what is going on with them?

Think it says all you need to know about Arsenal.

They're allergic to trophies, Grim, and crumble under the slightest bit of pressure. Plus, in their defense, half the squad is only just coming back from injury. ?
I'm all for it. As much as I hate seeing City succeed, Arsenal winning the league would be terrible for the image of the EPL.
In my 30+ years of following football, I don't recall a more boring side to watch, and their set-piece antics are embarrassing.

It's like WrestleMania whenever they get a corner. I watched the game, too, and whenever Bournemouth conceded a corner, you could see them frustrated with themselves, as they knew what was coming.
Box in the GK and start grappling, shoving, pushing... Yeah, it's been successful for them this season, and probably the reason they're top of the league, but it's not the kinda stuff I want to see.

Mikel Arteta spent a lot of time as a player at Everton, and his managerial career suggests that he is more entrenched in that underdog style of management rather than anything he might have picked up under Wenger or Pep.
He plays with four CB's and two CDM's. It's an underdog approach.
If you have a top club that can afford to spend heavily to rebuild the team, then you should be able to get them challenging for titles.
However, it takes a manager with the right mentality to carry that team over the line.
Arteta has a weak mentality, and that bleeds into his team.
The funny thing would be if City beat them to the title, only to get a points deduction, gifting Arsenal the title, and meaning they can't claim to have truly "won" the title.

I don't want City to win it again, but Arsenal are horrible, and horrible to watch. The level of s***hous3ry is staggering, not just the set piece wrestling. If they do win it, I think it will be a hugely unpopular win.
