to avoid I'm going to make this is a stupid comparison but I'm going to make it anyway Keir Starmer

before the last election.

Everybody thought, and he's an Arsenal fan, so this works.

But he was worried that he wasn't going to be, and all he was trying to do was just not make any mistakes while the Tories blew up.

Exactly that quote I was getting to.

And that's what Arteta's doing.

He's carrying that trophy across the...

across the marble floor hoping not to break it by not making any mistakes rather than seizing the moment and grasping it and it may work they're top of the league they're four points clear they should not be panicking we keep saying this but you're leaving yourself vulnerable to the sort of vagaries of a very competitive league if you continue to play this conservatively before then we take a quick break one word who's going to win the league I think it's going to be City James

I'm going to say City because I haven't been able to say Arsenal for any of the time that Arteta's been manager.

I think that is a genuinely significant advantage, arguably more so than being in the top eight.
