No goal in 8 games for Jesus now

We know better than anyone that he is much more important than just his goals, probably means he is due a cluster of goals now though.

Sorry, not for me. I want that 3rd league title in a row, then the CL (in that order).
Mind you, both cups as well would be nice :-)

jesus ?

WoW! Over 10 years ago, getting 40 points was the target

Thinking we dodged a bullet with him.

At north of 60 million??! We dodged an articulated lorry. Bloom must be just laughing. Potter not so much.

I can remember the days when I would be happy with a cup of tea.

A cup of cold tea without milk or sugar.

Or tea.

Cup!?

We had it in a rolled-up newspaper.

But we were happy, although we were poor.

Yeah you're right, but that only really works if you've got 5 or 6 other players that are scoring 10 or 15 goals each, which he won't have at Arsenal

Jesus doesn't have the luxury long term, to not be scoring regularly for Arsenal; they'll start to get found out when becoming reliant on Martinelli and Saka

Great start to the season and they play some lovely football. Chelsea still trying to find their style under Potter. Didn't really offer a threat so it was easy for Arsenal to be honest. But having already beaten Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea and then the loss to the rags, and still being top. Excellent start for them. They'll probably have more games like Southampton as the season progresses, but I would expect them to go big in January to try and fight for the title and make the most of this start. Get another goal scorer and maybe another midfielder in there. Considering we've only played Liverpool and the rags and are still 2pts behind them means we're going to have to ramp it up post-WC.

…and don’t forget you’ve still got to play us

I've not forgotten! I remember the 90s/00s where it was basically a guaranteed loss to you! But take out the FA Cup semi final loss and we've won the last 12 games against you. Will be good games that's for sure.

I’ve been with the travelling fans at the Etihad these past few years…my annual trip of misery…it’d be nice to get something there this season

Once again, relying on City to save the nation from the ghastly scenario that is fucking Arsenal winning the title.
