7 d. ago A sense of acquiescence has pervaded Arsenal’s stuttering title challenge | Jonathan Wilson

Mikel Arteta’s team have suffered unfortunate injuries but they also have far less self-belief than a Liverpool side who look destined to win the Premier LeagueSign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereAnd with that, surely, the title race is over. Liverpool had drawn four of their previous eight games which had created an opening. Had Arsenal beaten West Ham and Liverpool lost at Manchester City this weekend, the title would have been in Arsenal’s hands, at least to the extent that they would have won it if they had won every game they had remaining this season, including away at Liverpool.

It’s difficult for the people who are nominated for the awards, who either have to show up with a new and interesting acceptance speech every time, or settle into a sustained pattern of repeated failure. It’s hard for journalists, who have to cover the awards. It’s hard for readers, who have to keep reading about them.But nobody, nobody on Earth, had a worse awards season than Andrew Scott did in 2020. This is the year that he found himself nominated for outstanding actor in a comedy series at the Screen Actors Guild awards, for his role as the priest in Fleabag. It wasn’t bad because he was clearly the underdog, up against household names ...
