    20 games played, top of the table, a point ahead of City, 2 ahead of Chelsea, 6 clear of Liverpool, 7 of Everton and currently 11 points clearof both Utd and Tottenham with them about to play each other.

    What a position to be in.

    We have a run of very winnable fixtures comming up and this is a great time to try and bank a load of points before our harder runs of fixtures.

    But i think Giroud would have taken one of the earlier chances in the box, the monreal cross where no-one ran in for it and the bendtner duck under the ball spring to mind as two examples.

    Credit to Szczesny for that point blank save at the end too.
    If we'd only have been one nil up then it would have been a game saving stop <ok>

    Today's game shows again that the Flamini-Arteta combination just doesn't work, we look flat with it.

    Agreed <ok> I don't think we need to use it until we're trying to close games out. It's too defensive for our style of play. We need a balance in there with one of them paired with either Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla or Rosicky.

    Hopefully Bendtner isn't too injured, we're left with no strikers now, Podolski wasn't exactly impressive during the first half.

    Especially against a team like Cardiff. Wenger should have started Bendtner, and before anyone says that's easy to say in hindsight, please look at the team I picked for this game in the first page.

    I don't want Spurs to win.

    Can't go as far to saying I want Utd to win, but I definitely don't want the Spuds to win.

    You've got to think practically. As long as United keep winning, they're a threat, they're catching up now. Spurs aren't a threat, them winning is meaningless.

    i been calling for Bendy to start for a few days. when i saw the line up of flamini-arteta, i didn't say anything, but i wasn't happy with it either, though rosicky should have started, along with Bendy. This could have been a massive **** up for Wenger if we didn't get the 3 points, the wrong line up almost cost us big time.

    I want them to draw, leaves them both a comfortable 10 points behind us and firmly in the top 4 battle rather than any hope of getting near the title race. A win for either team will give them some confidence and id rather both teams end mid-table and bereft of all confidence if im perfectly honest :p
