Yeah, I wouldn’t call it a collapse either at this point. The team hit a difficult patch a month ago where it could have gone horribly. It began to look like Manchester United could catch them, but they dealt with it well and have won five in a row since.
City are accomplished at firing up the jets in the run in and Arsenal have a very hard schedule with dates at City and Anfield and home to a starting to look resurgent Chelsea. I think the five point lead and the strength of City make this a coin toss.
Losing a coin toss isn’t a collapse.
Also, if you told me at the start of the season, Arsenal would be in this position and providing so much entertainment, I’d never have believed you.
The life of a sports fan is a funny one. Arsenal are exactly what I thought the Flames would be and the Flames are closer to what I thought Arsenal would be this season.
In my life it was only 1989 when I could have it all. And it all came in the space of two days.
