Arsenal Thread 2013/14

[GunnerGer]

I would have thought the draw was the only really good result for you. Chelsea will probably be ahead of you in two weeks.

You can expect Chelsea to draw/lose against teams who park the bus, but City will sweep away most of those teams. So, from an Arsenal point of view this was a good result and City have to play Arsenal, United, Liverpool away which might end up being the title deciding games.

I'm not certain Chelsea will slip up in the lesser games now. That performance last night was ominously good and their run-in (on paper at least) is easier than both ours and Arsenal's.

I dunno but I'd have Chelsea as favourites now closely followed by us and Arsenal just behind. I wouldn't count Liverpool out either as they're not too far behind and all three of us still have to go there.

I agree with you about Chelsea, as an Arsenal fan I would have preferred a draw thinking about it. It would have created a small gap again to Chelsea, who I believe have the easiest run in out the 3 teams. I would also think there is slightly more chance of Arsenal taking something from a home game against Man City this season (no offence lads), rather than an away game against Chelsea.

People have highlighted the West Ham game but Chelsea have now won 8 out of the last 9, and drew the other, so that's some pretty ominous form right there. As I highlighted earlier in the thread, they've had a bit of luck along the way, playing Liverpool when Gerrard and Sturridge was out, playing Utd with no Rooney, RVP or Mata, & now playing City without Fernandihno and Aguero. However, no-one can argue with their results.

Lets hope their luck runs out, then!

C'mon Liverpool

Do we really want them to win? We can beat Arsenal at the Emirates to make up the point difference, but do we really want Liverpool to be 3 points closer? Especially as us and Chelsea still have to go to Anfield.

If I was a City fan I would want Arsenal to lose. I think you lot have a great chance of knocking out Barca, but it means even more hard games. Arsenal on the other hand are probably going to go out against Bayern and have a nice run in. When you have Bayern or Madrid midweek then even grinding out an away result against us will not be easy. Liverpool despite not being in Europe don't have the quality to make up the six points.

Yes, we do, their results against Villa and West Brom show just how inconsistent they are.

their recent record at anfield isn't gonna help us at all, not expecting a liverpool victory IMO, kolo will most definitely start and he'll get mauled by cazorla

Yes I do personally, if we win we'll be 6 points minimum ahead of them so that's decent breathing space, and I would much rather be ahead of Arsenal and then have to play them rather than only being able to be ahead of them if we beat them.
