ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

a middle of the road player, they've still got a midfield that can be overrun and I think in many ways this is a really good title race because it's unpredictable but it's probably the worst title race for, I can't remember, in terms of the quality of the teams at the top.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

So Arsenal, as strong as they are, they're not going to go down as one of the great champions if they win it because they lack a bit of fantasy.

ESPN FC

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

Aston Villa yeah Villa were doing surprisingly well in doing I Emery but just when they were going to knock on the door they lost it all to Everton so it's like who's going to win this title now you've got a smirk on your face I'm blown I've got a smirk on my face because I know what you're going to say you think I'm going to top up Man United now listen the Man United fans after the game at the weekend were chanting we're going to win the league now I assume they were joking

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

Two years later, 1998, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal were 12 points behind in February and won the title by a point.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

So, look, I mean, United have got nothing else on their agenda apart from Premier League games.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

There are frailties of the teams ahead of them.

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

I don't think United have got a chance, but is it a four-horse race?

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

Is it a three-horse race?

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?

Or is it a three-and-a-half-horse race?

ESPN FC
The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title?
