Arsenal Thread 2013/14

Don't get too cocky City. We have to go to the Emirates, and Arsenal looked dangerous at 3-2. At that point they were well in it

Arsenal have to beat Chelsea now, or their own confidence will take a big knock. That's 3 bad results back to back when everyone was building this up as their test.

Clinging on to small hopes (lets be honest, I've got to after today), is that City have played all the main rivals bar Chelsea at home in the first half of the season. It means in the 2nd half they've still to go to Old Trafford, The Emirates, White Hart Lane, Anfield, Goodison, even Liberty Stadium and St James Park.

Arsenal still have Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Goodison and White Hart Lane to go, so maybe I am clutching at straws.

Chelsea perhaps has the kindest fixture list, and will only have to go to The Etihad, and Anfield, having already been to Old Trafford, The Emirates soon, White Hart Lane, Goodison and St James Park.

Although, this might mean the square root of feck all if the teams keep dropping points against the so called lesser teams!

I think being top of the league shows we more then overhyped swansea. I think your being saying something different when we hopefully batter chelsea next monday night.

I said earlier in the "Post Match" thread that in my time, and I go back to the late sixties as a little boy going to Maine Road with my Uncle and my Grandad that I can't recall a finer City performance.

I truly believe we will now move on from here. The Defence seems to be sorting itself out and unlike some I thought we defended well today overall and we will likely improve in that department further when Joe Hart is back and playing like he can.

It is also possible that we can move up another gear on the attacking side - we missed some very reasonable chances today despite scoring six. I am convinced that at some point this season we will score double figures in a game.

So, all in all I am pretty sure we are a better bet for the title than Arsenal.

To dismiss them then though on the basis of today's result is foolish in the extreme. Despite the scoreline apart from Ozil and Ramsey who were gash, most of their side had a decent game and at 3 -1 down they bust a gut to make a draw and therefore were ripe for slaughter.

Gooney 2; despite labouring the issue makes a really valid point when he talks about our consistency (which I am convinced will come). They have been the more consistent side and we are almost halfway through the season. That's why they have the three point lead.

I remember sticking it to Rags after the 6-1; I wasn't feeling so cocky as we went into injury time against QPR !!.

Arsenal to me are by far the biggest threat out there.

I'm not writing Arsenal off at all for the title, they are a good side and that was a great game of football.

However, it may just be that we have exposed previously unseen deficiencies in Arsenals game today, and other teams may start to exploit that (hopefully).

Cracking second goal from Walcott, seriously like him, would be good in our squad.

Gonna be any mix of Arsenal, Chelsea and City in the top 3 I reckon. Everton, Liverpool and Spuds fighting it out for that 4th spot, it's a seriously strong league this year.

Anyways gooner2, about that 'best defence in europe'....... ARF !!!!

TOp right now but wont be for long, Swansea gave us a better game than you guys and play nicer football.

Can't be arsed reading through pages of posts, so if anybody has said this previously, I apologise.
F*ck me, how sh*t were they today? Seen better midfields in the Stockport Under 15 League. Wiilshere has to be the most over rated player in the league. Bloody awful. What a bunch of cockney tossers. Sagna? Hahahahahahha. If they win the league, there is something horribly wrong with English football. Still, 3 goals better than Spurs, which ought to cheer them up. Over rated shower of shi*e. End of rant.

We were poor and you deserved to win but we only team in league who scored three goals at your own turf. We won,t be facing you every week and i am still confident we can win league as we so consistent at winning over teams outside the top seven.

You're welcome on here gooner2 but you do tend to labour the point somewhat. Please stop repeating yourself as it's getting a little irritating.

I dont think anyone has mentioned money. City were fantastic again at home, especially Yaya and fernandinho, they were totally dominant. From our point of view the good news is we dont have to go to city again and are still top with the toughest game of the season out of the way, if city turn their away form around they ll walk it, if not hopefully we can be there to pick up the pieces.

Still dont get why so many man city fans are ranting though...You did win . It seems you were a happier bunch back in the days when you lost every week.

i wasn't ranting at arsenal, i was laughing

No not you, others before in this thread

What a fucking Arse wipe
