I don't get all this talk of but Chelsea had this and that defence etc.....It's not like we're some mid-table rubbish team with a **** defence at the moment.....Yes we did defend like a pub team for the start of the season, but since December our defence has majorly improved and started finally playing to their capable potential, so I really don't get all this defence talk, we have a good defence in front of Cech. In the second half of the season against United (twice), Chelsea, Liverpool, City, we only conceded 3 goals in those 5 games, that's not bad at all if you ask me, especially if we're supposedly lightweight at the back. The thing with Arsenal at the moment is we defence much much better as a team, which is what we have always wanted, everyone puts a shift in now to track an close down, even Ozil, and we have a proper DMF in Coq and if rumours are true, we're still going for another world class DMF.
I think you have this spot on, your back four is pretty strong and with the addition of Coq in front of them is almost as good as Chelsea. I think some people just want Cech to fail.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech has revealed he will wear the number 33 shirt for Arsenal next season and has given his reasons for his choice. He tweeted: "Starting new chapter at 33 years of age with 333 games in the Premier League ... That's an easy choice." The former Chelsea goalkeeper added: "Hope to be a part of the spine of the team - spine has 33 vertebrae." please log in to view this image
33 is also the number of times they have managed to beat us since 1961 - out of over 120 matches. Would have been single figures if refs were half decent,
