Football situation raises questions

Arsenal: How does Mikel Arteta set up against Man City for title charge?www.bbc.co.uk

Situations like this always bring scrutiny, especially in football where expectations are constant. Fans, media and clubs all look at the same thing from different angles, which is why these stories grow quickly. The real impact often comes from how it is handled next, not just what happened

Will Arteta try to cheat over the finish line. This used to be about the best team winning the league whether that be City/Chelsea/ManU/Liverpool or even Wengers Arsenal. But this shrub can't win fairly and squarly. I bet he won't even go at City

Football never stays quiet for long

It is all about how they respond now. Missing players sucks. But a one off game. I hope city do it today

[Mike]

Pressure comes from every direction. He may say he is going to attack but when it comes down to it go over defence (Southgate-esque)

Cannot disagree with that. We will see how it plays out.

Momentum is real and it is the thing that is hardest to quantify
