Not that it makes any difference but compared to City, I'd say they definitely are. The easy narrative is that City have bought / cheated their way to success and L'arse haven't, so generally people are going to prefer them. Unless there's some valid reasoning I'm unaware of to suggest otherwise.

Just had a spare 10 minutes and thought I would note down the run-in's for them and City

At first glance City have the better games. They play the top teams all at home and don't have any tough away trips. Whereas almost all of Arsenal's away games look tricky.
But who knows in football, plenty of dodgy results to come I'm sure

Arsenal have had unbelievable luck recently playing teams just they day, when they are missing at least one vital player.
Leicester today without Maddison.
They played Man Utd, when Casemiro wase suspended due to 5 bookings.
Played Brighton away, when Caicedo was suspended and Mac Allister was partying in Argentina.
And yesterday Fulhams Palhinha picked up a 2-match suspension, so he will miss Brentford and............ of course Arsenal.

Seems like you are making excuses, its not about the players missing its about how you play against them who ever they have or haven’t got. We have played a few teams that have had players missing and we still brick the bed.

And they got the easiest draw possible(imo) in the Europa League.

Hopefully at the end of the season they won't brie top.
You think union saint gilloise are a tougher team than sporting?

Not a huge fan of your posts on certain subjects but I am with this one 100%. If they win it's apparently luck.
As discussed with Markysimmo recently (which he didn't respond to), let's not pretend they aren't everyone's favourite's to win, most neutrals would prefer they win over City who are allegedly only there because of the money but if they can stop Arsenal winning they'll suddenly become the good guys - That is cognitive dissonance in it's absolute form.
Before anyone kicks off, I'd rather we were there competing. We are not. Despite our supposedly wise spending in the summer.

Yeh, I am more concerned with where we are then them TBH, I can't be doing all these "woudl you take X if it meant they did not win the league". Don't get me wrong I absolutely hate Arsenal but the idea they have only been lucky to be 5 clear, its just not real

They're only 2 points clear

Haha I was working on an earlier post I saw, forgot about the City game yesterday. That aside, you ain't top by TWO points against the likes of City on pure luck alone. Injuries, opponents form, thats just the game

Nope , but that's a mute point as they couldn't be drawn together besides the fact that I meant Union Berlin as I said.
Union Saint Gilloise were seeded , just like Arsenal so they couldn't be drawn together,
Sporting , imo, were the weakest of the non seeded teams, with the possible exception of Shaktar but then you have the long distance travelling to consider.
Have a look at who the goons could have drawn and you might just agree.

To be honest for last 16 they are all solid teams. I'm happy for them to get through a couple more rounds as long as they don't win it lol
