How's the excitement with a month to go?

It's really, really hotting up.

I have to say, you look at Manchester City, you feel like they just have what it takes to wear teams down.

Arsenal have been in control for the vast majority of the season and you feel like maybe just now they've let it slip.

They had this massive gap and now all of a sudden the loss to Manchester City I think just feels like

it could be the beginning and the end for Arsenal's hope to win the Premier League title.

How big was that game?

It felt like the perfect game at the perfect time on Sunday and Man City win it 2-1.

I mean, obviously for Manchester City to get the win,

to sort of almost tip the title race back into their own hands.

Yes, they'll be equal on points if they win their game at hand, which is in the next 24 hours against Burnley, which we all expect them to do so, and also make up the goal difference.

And by doing so, that will just pile the pressure so much more on Arsenal to try and step up.

We've got a massive game on the weekend against Newcastle at home.

And for Manchester City, I think they are where they want to be with only a handful of games left.

So just reading and listening to what's been happening, the question being asked is, is Arsenal choking again, which is very harsh in the sporting terms.

But I guess when you had a nine-point lead and it's been whittled down to three, it's inevitable.

And I think when you looked at Arsenal not so many weeks ago or months ago, you know, that nine points in particular, you just felt that Manchester City weren't necessarily playing particularly well.

Arsenal, even though I suppose from a

from a style of play wasn't the most attractive, you still felt that they had done enough so far and are in control and should carry it over the line.

What we've learned with Manchester City and Pep Guardiola, you can never write them off.
