Arsenal news LIVE: Tony Adams EXCLUSIVE, Gunners ‘tipped’ to secure Brandt, Saka contract UPDATE – latest


Adams: Title is City’s to lose

If Manchester City were eight points clear with ten games to go, there would not even be a question about the title race already being over, writes TONY ADAMS.

But because it’s Arsenal in that position, I still don’t think they’re favourites to be champions.

Speaking from personal experience, I know just how difficult it is to get over that finishing line for the first time.

Arsenal are going to get tighter and tighter with every game they play.

In our last ten games of the season we were scrapping at home against teams who had absolutely nothing to play for.

We lost 2-1 at home to Derby and Dean Saunders scored twice. I was ready to rip his head off. I was screaming ‘Jesus Christ, why are you trying so hard? Do you want Liverpool to win the title again?’

He told me he was  trying to win the Golden Boot and I said ‘well just stop it’.

But that’s how it’s going to be for Arsenal over the next two months because every game is going to feel like a cup final.

City might have as many as 18 more games to play but Pep Guardiola has so much talent at his disposal that he can pick one team in the league and another for the cup competitions. They’ve won the title before and because they’re coming from behind they will be able to play with much more freedom than Arsenal.

Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that Arsenal have been knocked out of the Europa League.

Even with their best players available, they might not do it. I might be the only person saying this but I still think it’s  City’s title to lose.
