Or Ozil. Anyone doubting we can beat Arsenal at their place even without their injuries (presuming we are full strength and at 100%) has a distinct sniff about them.

FFS give over with the sniff bs. Given we have won once there in 40 bloody years, you might say that anyone who thinks a win is a foregone conclusion is stark raving bonkers.

Here we go again with the comparisons to previous seasons

Over those 40 years how many of them have been while we've been shite? And while Arsenal have been VERY good.

Theres your answer. We are the better team its irrelevent where the game is played at. We are more than good enough to win the game and if we don't it will have nothing to do with the fact that we hadn't won there for the last 40 seasons.

So how do you explain our dismal record against Sunderland?

You can't ignore what's gone before mate. And if you can, the players can't. Like it or not, teams do have bogey grounds where for whatever reason you just can't seem to get the results you might expect or deserve. Whether its superstition, or luck or fate or whatever I have no idea, but it's the reality. If you don't know that you know less about football than me, and that's saying something.

Arsenal away will be a fucking hard game and anything more than no points is a decent result there.

Thats true to a certain extent, but on the other hand for the past 30 years on the whole we have been shite and Arsenal have been competing season after season for the title. Its kind of to be expected that its been a ground we have struggled at. Now however, we are better than them so i dont really buy into it being a bogey ground, just somewhere we now have a much better chance of getting a result than say 10 years ago.

Of course I agree we have a better chance than when we were shite. We won there last year so it's not like it's impossible.

Still a very tough place to go though and a draw there is a good result.

Normally id totally agree but i think with their injuries we have to go for the throat and really go at them. 3 points are there for the taking. Would completely deflate liverpool and chelsea if we took 9 points from our next 3 games.

I am not saying we shouldn't give it everything, of course we should.
