    They post their bile on all threads, unless you haven't noticed.

    Just delete it, we both know you don't have a problem doing that with posts you don't like.

    A point off city and youre complaining? You expect city to chase down chelsea going off your comments elsewhere but you think its poor that arsenal are a point behind?

    You didn't play all that well today but got a point in a big game. Hardly doom and gloom is it?

    Early doors yet jebus. Some good some average but look at the rest of the PL including all but Chelsea really. They are the one form side in the PL atm.

    3 points between 10th and 4th. We've lost 3 drawn 1 and won 1 in the last 5 and are still 3 points off of 4th. Southampto will drop like a stone so you are pretty much in 3rd sort of atm behind City and Chelsea, which was to be expected really as those two were going to be the front runners plus it's only 6 games like.

    If arsenal were to beat chelsea next week the whole league could look very tight. Big if but who knows.

    It's a bit of both tbf. Arsenal87 is right in the sense that the team isn't moving forward enough to look like serious title contenders. Big money has been spent on real quality like Ozil and Sanchez so the money is there to make Arsenal as formidable looking as Chelsea do right now. The difference is that when someone like Jose realises where his team's deficiency is, he just goes out and buys them. He needed a striker and got a real worldie for £40m ish. Arsenal needed a striker, Wenger could (and should) have done the same.

    On the flip side, look at your squad, it is one world-class striker away from being title contenders imo. Imagine you had an RVP, an Aguero, a Diego Costa in front of the likes of Wilshere, Ozil, Ramsey, Oxelade, Cazorla. Dare I say, Arsenal87 would be waxing lyrical about how EACH of those very players are the best in the world. It would all be because their contribution would matter with a 30/35 goal a season striker. There's a question mark over the defence a little, but you wouldn't be far off the side around 2002. By the way, I would add that Benzema is NOT that striker. I think you'll stumble along if you buy him as he just doesn't have enough goals in him as the target man.

    In short, right now competitively, you're no better than what you were a year ago. BUT having said that, you're one world-class forward away from being in the mix for title contenders imo.

    I think we will do better against the bigger teams we can't be any worse then last year. Chelsea will park the bus at Old Trafford so we need that first goal to **** up there tactics

    We've been 'rebuilding' for 10 years, eventually you need to start reaping the actual benefits on the pitch.

    We're doing the same thing we've been always doing, underachieving and only good enough for 3rd and 4th spot, and we haven't lost a game, yet drawn 4 and won 2, hardly something impressive.

    We played Mancity and Spurs at home, we should be winning at home.

    And yes when it comes to winning the league, we are well and truly dead and buried in the water, anyone who thinks we have a chance at winning the thing must be severely deluded.

    The problem is that these people have come to expect and accept a draw against ANY team , even at our own gaff.

    You wont change that mentality in a hurry.

    Everton.......ahh thats alright
    City ...........ahh thats alright
    Leicester .....ahhh thats alright
    Spurs ..........ahhh thats alright.

    its all alright

    We weren't great today but Tottenham were terrible, showed no intent, sat back for most of the game and I'm convinced the only reason we didn't get the winner was because they cleverly killed the momentum we had by faking injury after injury as soon as Oxo bagged the equaliser.
    I don't blame them, it's part of the game and we would probably do the same in a similar position.
    We're not as bad as some make out but we're not good enough to win the pot either, 4th place trophy again for me....

    Are you from Liverpool by any chance? you have a similar outlook. Other teams come to your ground to play football, most with the hope of gaining points. It should be no surprise if some get a decent result there
