Arsenal legend 'half-scared' by Gunners prediction as comments come full circle

Arsenal legend Paul Merson expresses concern over his early season prediction that the Gunners would win the Premier League title after the team dropped more points against Wolverhampton.

Paul Merson, a former Arsenal player, has recently admitted that he is feeling 'half-scared' about his early prediction regarding Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title. He had confidently declared back in December that the title was practically secured for the Gunners, especially when they were leading the table without much competition from other teams, including Manchester City.

However, following Arsenal's recent matches where they dropped significant points at Wolves, the situation has changed drastically. After a series of draws, the gap between Arsenal and Manchester City has narrowed, putting increased pressure on the Gunners. Merson, who previously downplayed City’s capabilities, now recognizes the potential for City to snatch the top spot if they can win their games in hand.

As the Premier League season continues to heat up, the implications of Merson's admission reflect both the unpredictability of the league and the mounting pressure on Arsenal. The team's performance in upcoming matches will be crucial as they strive to secure the title, and Merson's concerns highlight the shifting dynamics in the title race as competitors like City begin to regain form and confidence.
