    That's the thing with Spurs. If people say we have been predictable over the last few years Spurs are even more soo. They always have a total meltdown.

    Have to say 'Poch' is doing a great job though. But we have a better squad than them.

    It's weird that City with their massive transfer budget have stuck with Sagna and particularly Clichy over the years.

    I mean both were very good fullbacks but neither would get anywhere near our side anymore.

    Bellerin has far surpassed Sagna and Clichy was always a liability in the bigger games.

    Bellerin is the best RB in the league for me. He's quick, inventive and skilfull going forward and very tidy defending too. A real star and he seems very happy at Arsenal :)

    Bellerin is vastly underrated, I would say he is the best RB we have ever had. If I had to name 3 best Arsenal players it would be Ozil, Alexis and Bellerin.

    Yep, I would agree with that.

    I said 'Yes' earlier to this but I've now seen enough to change my mind.

    I do think the squad is good enough.

    But nothing has changed. We are in the middle of the yearly November collapse so I think its 90% certain we will see the usual Feb/March collapse as well.

    I think it's a little too early to evaluate. But January would be a good time for me to fire another poll, after the busy Christmas period.

    No Santi no ****y (for you guys).

    He's the key for you to bulldozing the weaker teams and putting you into contention

    Well to be honest I thought November would be the month to tell.

    We always have the same meltdown. This year hasn't been any different. No point judging in January because we normally climb back up the table after xmas. Only to implode a month or so later. Every year like clockwork.

    We haven't been at our best, but I wouldn't exactly call November a meltdown.

    For all that Mustafi, Xhaka and Perez (ha, who?!) have added to our squad depth... it means jaff all when we still play like turd whenever Cazorla is out.

    No Cazorla... no chance.

    Yeah he is key for us. Also just goes to show Ramsey really isn't on that TOP level he doesnt dictate the tempo of our play in the way Carzola can.

    I think Xhaka's influence will grow though. The guy has real ability.

    Can we win it? yes, we are absolutely in it, and should be right up there come the end.

    will we win it? probably not; I hate to say it, but I just dont have faith in the mentality surrounding the players / manager / club these days.

    Hope im very wrong about the second part there though!
