TERRACE TALK: Arsenal - Hard to believe we were watching title favourites

I recall watching such a mediocre Man Utd earlier in the season and wondering how on earth they were managing to remain there, or thereabouts, in touch with the league leaders. 

Similarly, I’m sure that any neutral watching our lacklustre win over Newcastle on Saturday would’ve found it barely credible they were watching the title favourites go two points clear at the top of the table.

The afternoon looked like turning out even more profitable, when it appeared we were destined to stretch our lead over Man City to a somewhat more significant five or six points. Having dashed back home from the Arsenal to watch the late KO on the box and with the plucky Hornets retaining their goal advantage, right up until the 82nd minute, it seemed as if the gods were really smiling down on us Gooners.
