*Changes the record* This is the worst Arsenal side for the last 20 years and we are ahead of Chelsea and 1 point off 3rd place. Not bad.
I didn't say it was bad did I? I am congratulating you, my point is that neither of our fans can be cocky
Change the record ? Its the same season - The fact that we had a mini crisis proceeded by playing in form Liverpool, Tottenham and AC Milan and won all games suggests to me that the fragility that you speak of is not there. More to the point, it coincides with our players coming back from injury and getting match fit and we have more on the way And I know you know that I am not one of the people saying we are good or great by any stretch of the imagination, I still think we are not where we need to be, on one hand I think we are quite some way from being a good team, on the other, we are not really too far away, 2 players maybe and a change of tactics and approach.
Yes, but theoretically they still need to win one game on penalties at least, so it is not quite a draw. But 4 draws and one win will do, you are correct. Anyway - the good news is they have to play Barca twice.
Neither of our fans can be cocky. I still think this Arsenal team is a long way off the standards set by previous generations. It can only improve from here, however. And we have a good hungry base of players to work from..
'I still think this Arsenal team is a long way off the standards set by previous generations.' As is the Chelsea side. If we can put in a good performance at the Etihad and beat SPurs, only then will I believe we've turned the corner
