Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has struck a confident but measured tone as the Gunners prepare for a crucial Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest, using the club’s official X account to reinforce belief among supporters. The message leaned heavily on momentum and consistency, themes that have defined Arsenal’s season so far, including their recent win at Stamford Bridge.
That victory, detailed by SoftFootball, has added further conviction to a squad already competing strongly on multiple fronts. The timing of Arteta’s comments also mattered. With Arsenal still alive in four competitions and chasing the league leaders, the away clash at the City Ground is seen as another opportunity to maintain pressure on rivals like Manchester City.
Forest present a tricky challenge at home, making consistency and focus essential if Arsenal are to keep their title hopes firmly intact. Speaking from the perspective of a coach who has watched his team grow over the course of the campaign, Arteta explained that Arsenal’s belief is not built on words alone, but on repeated performances across a demanding schedule.
He pointed to the body of work already completed this season and the confidence drawn from winning tough matches away from home, while also stressing that nothing can be taken for granted in the weeks ahead.
In his words, Arteta said:
Well, I think we are building very good momentum, and I believe it comes from performances and the level of consistency that we have shown throughout 32 games already this season and what we did the other day at Stamford Bridge. It should help us to be very convinced that we have the ability to do that, but the reality is that you have to show it in every game, and there’s still so much to happen, but we are glad that we are still alive in the four competitions.

The statement captured the balance Arteta has tried to maintain all season. Confidence without complacency. Belief without arrogance. For Arsenal fans, the message was clear. The foundations have been laid, the momentum is real, but every match, starting with Nottingham Forest, remains another test of how far this team can go.
