I hate to say it but I have enjoyed watching arsenal this season. Arteta has instilled a strength in them. Until today I didnt think they could win the title this season, now I do
The 22/23 premier league season now warms to late 90s early 00s nostalgia.
Arsenal vs Man United used to be the main title contenders match.
An old English el classico made a brief return.
Hopefully Chelsea are now forever forbidden from being in the top 4. Those days are gone! (Fingers crossed)
Saka won't win a ballon dor...there are too many global participants for that gem, but Saka is going to have one hell of a career and he has it all in front of him.
Arsenal's season has been very reminiscent of when Leicester won the title in that in 2015-16 in do far as they relied on 15/16 players. Arsenal have only really used 14 players this season and apart from Jesus they have not suffered any major injuries. Should that remain the case for the duration then they have to go close to winning the PL.

Indeed. I think the only thing that can stop Arsenal now is if they get a couple of key injuries as they don't have the strength in depth that City do. A couple of injuries combined with the return of European games might see them wobble a bit.
But to be honest they look pretty unstoppable right now if everyone stays fit.
Arsenal have 7 players who have played in all 19 games.
Odegaard has played in 18. Partey has played in 16. One of the games he missed they lost at Man U. Jesus played in 14 before his injury, and Nketiah has covered brilliantly. Zinchenko/Tierney have rotated the only other position where they've had an injury.
His sacking has been on the cards for weeks. They should have replaced him before the transfer window opened and given the new manager time to assess the squad and see what was needed. Only one week to go before the window closes and they are now without a manager. I reckon they will go down.
Take Derby from 6th to 6th, get a signing on bonus at Chelsea, fail there, get a multi-million pound payoff, get the Everton job, another few million for failing there, go and work for Sky/BBC.
Everton have an unbalanced squad full of flops, and not much money to spend. It's a tough job
Their summer business was appalling - you'd suspect most of those weren't Lampard's choices.
They signed Coady and Tarkowski and are probably mid-table in terms of their defence. They've conceded less than Spurs and Fulham and only 3 more than Man U and Liverpool.
But going forward they're appalling, as you'd expect from a side that sold its top scorer and replaced him with Neal Maupay.

And have a centre forward in Calvert-Lewin who's always injured/unfit

He's every managers dream.
Michael Owen won it in 2001
It's such a life long mystery, there should be a Netflix docu-soap about it.
He was good. Certainly not great
