Arsenal

[carmine]

Oh really! I'm sure he's been fielding much stronger sides the last couple of seasons. Maybe even the last three or four seasons. He knows its your only realistic chance of silverware.......other than his imaginary "top four" cup of course

Only in the semis.

And do tell me how you might feel about getting "top four". I know we take it for granted, but for a small club like yourselves, it would be a great achievement.

Great to hear that you can take for granted that single point or that last fixturevictory to scrap in by the skin of your teeth!

<deleted> me you lot are so way above your station for an also ran team with a pretty stadium.

Just think when we have ours in five years and it being filled with proper passionate football fans as opposed to your plastic crowd.

[Chicog]

Beat me to it Carms!....lol. Arse would have a good chance of winning the league cup, but alas they have have the Chavs in the next round.... Love to see your 3rd team against them......

Please learn to quote.

Huh? Bit early for the Sid ain't it Chicky?

No, it's just impossible to work out the conversation, so I don't bother reading if people can't do something that farkin simple.

16 years on the bounce, carmine, if it was that easy how come your pub team has managed it....., er........ once?

And I wouldn't lecture me about crowd support, now you've spent so much money you have more than a few nailbiters of your own, I can hear them clenching.

You know, the tiny totts motto used to be "there's always next year", now it's gone to "there's always five years time".

[BangrakBob]

2-1 today I reckon Chicog, Swansea on a good run and you've got few injuries haven't you?

Well of course we were undone by Chelsea winning the bloody thing but we've been within a point or two since 2005 we your good selves hanging in by a thread despite all the bravado. Times a changing and you know it pal!!

[SinglePot]

Not to worry guys.

The only team who really can't accept that times are changing are Manchester Untied.

Have a good day.

I think Chelsea and Mourinho have not realized that dem der times are a changin. or should i say have changed.

especially in the last 30 mins

[MrRed]

I thought Moyes had problems Mourinho's lot are wooden ....have they had a shot?

[Chicog]

You're right, I had us to win 3-1, the injuries obviously didn't help.

That's what I call a good day at the office. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I'd be out on the lash now.

I meant 1-2

Good day at the office indeed just hope it rolls our way tomorrow.

Moderation Chicog Sunday is my pseudo Monday too, but can't help having a couple of cheeky ones after the Manc results

once again Wenger cops a belting in the summer window and 6 weeks later he's top of the pile, great manager

watched their match with an arsenal mate who summed it up spot on. when they'd 'only' signed flamini for free wenger was an unambitious knobhead. then he got ozil and he's great again. they've a good squad. and the smartest manager in the league.

Many would panic and buy anyone over the odds to please, although pulling out Ozil was jackpot timing. I don't know why Arsenal fans ever doubt him. I guess the frustration of having the cash and not spending it pisses them off and they expect Wenger to sort it. Behind close doors it ain't that simple, but he is at the front line and has to wear it.

familiarity/contempt i suppose. or boredom. and they haven't won a cup or trophy for years either, so i understand their frustration. but they should have given him the benefit of the doubt, he's certainly earned it. friend chicog on here was spot on about their money stuff, they've been biding their time and managing the club well. then they lash 42m at ozil. doubting of wenger only comes from boredom i think, he's too good for anything else.

[SantiSuk]

Great grind-out result against a clever mobile opposition that we would not have seen in the last three years. Too early to get carried away, as we have had the easiest fixtures to date, but only Spurs look equally competent thus far (my jury is no longer out on WHL purchases this Summer - very well bought!

I think the difference in Arsenal this year is not just Ozil, but the fact that the defence has an effective DMF sitting in front of them for the first time in years (since Viera). Ozil is pure class but at GBP nil Flamini is a revelation - buy of the Summer. HTF did he come available on a free? Some piece of Gunner scouting going on there in Italy.

At half time I thought we would lose - missing pace in the attack with Walcott's absence. I thought our little Jap might get a run out but Wenger always trusts his starting 11 until the 70th minute by which time, no problem. Giroud is good (excellent thinking link up play for a lumbering hold-up guy) but we still need a world class striker to make us top 5 Europe.

Could all turn to tears with a still thin squad up front, but enjoying the ride for now.

Ramsey - player of the season so far!

[MrRed]

Aaron Ramsey needs a drug test.

Yes, this seasons transformation from carthorse to goal scoring, matching winning midfield dynamo is quite starling isn't it!!!

[Chicog]

BIggest test so far comes against Napoli. They've looked pretty impressive every time I've seen them.

Agreed, no need to get all excited this early, but it's going better than I thought. Still think we need a couple of good purchases in January, but we also have some really good players to bring back.

Yes Benitez is doing a great job.

Regarding Flamini, Wenger was quoted as saying in the summer "the only problem with Flamini is that he didn't cost 25million".

[MrRed]

I have said that Wenger is a great manager many times on this thread and even against the illogical thoughts of a few gunners on here,now you are seeing the fruits of his experience and know-how.

Where is Miggsy btw in these lofty times ?

[jellydog]

The guy is oozing confidence. At times last year he looked lost, now he's the next <deleted> Messi.

[SinglePot]

Maybe he's looking for a bale out.

[Chicog]

Wilshere's the one who looks lost. He doesn't look fit, he doesn't look happy, and he doesn't look like he's capable of following the manager's instructions.

I would be tempted to rest him in the CL and use him in the games against carthorse teams. We really don't need him right now with Arteta back.

Wilshere needs a career/talent re-evaluation after having his head blown up by the Brit press. I believe he could end up being a decent footballer if he gets his head right. If not...a frustrated footnote.

[Chicog]

In fairness, after all the building up, they had a right go at him last time out for England.

He's sulking because Ozale has taken over his mantle and his position !

[iancnx]

In fairness you played <deleted> against Swansea and exposed yourselves as really second tier within the premiership. You are nowhere near the quality displayed at he Lane yesterday, and by January you will be asking for Arsene's balls, which will be hilarious if he really is signing a new contract. Ozil quality ... That's a frekking laugh...... Spliffy Mesut, sounds like that sad <deleted> in Eastenders 30 years ago

and after your own spending spree ain't it a shame that you haven't found anyone to take over monkey boy's contribution to the side, let alone the amount of goals he scored.
