That’s how we play though so it’ll be 11 players in each half with the ball stationary in the centre circle.

We've both got quick forwards. Arsenal have been trying to play their way through teams from the back though and spectacularly ****ing it up for months now. Whereas you've had some success from sitting back and hitting teams on the break.
 
Might not have worded that great, meant that it will suit you playing away to a side who like to keep possession, presumably that's how Arteta likes to play?

Think Arteta is just working on commitment, work rate, organisation and winning the ball back at the moment. There was a big improvement against Bournemouth, and we should have taken at least 2-3 of the chances we had and won that game.

We'll definitely want to go at Utd and Chelsea though, and that leaves us wide open to the counter. So the defensive side of what he's trying to teach them is going to be severely tested in these games.

All ifs and buts, mate.

If your auntie had balls, she'd be your uncle, yeah.
 
Chelsea, Wolves and Spurs too with 57 points still to play for
Wolves are a good shout and i am ****ed if i know where Sheffield United are going to end up. Sheffield seem to be handling the "smaller" teams better than most of us and they are the real point earners. You can afford to draw a few and lose a couple against the "big" teams if you beat all the rest.

Depends what the Blades do in Jan, I think the likes of Man Utd, Spurs, Wolves’ squads will see them push Sheff Utd down to a middle of the table finish and all the Blades I know will be in dreamland with that in their first year back. Wolves are on for top 4 I reckon
 
Arsenal have been linked with RB Leipzig central defender Dayot Upamecano and the 21-year-old could be allowed to leave the German club if they can sign fellow Frenchman Tanguy Kouassi, 17.

Would be just the ticket if we can get this guy. We had fairly extensive talks in the summer about bringing him in (if the rumours can be believed), so hopefully we can get this deal done in Jan and sure up a massive problem area for us.
