New season

Even better, 4-0 to The Arsenal! Very nice too - excellence all-round, nice goals (oh yes, Tottingham dropped a coupla points too - let's hope my Saints-fan mates have got it right with their claim to grab the three points at Leicester today). I know, we've left it way too late to grab that top-spot now but I'm happy if those above us are getting a touch nervous. West Ham next at The Boleyn, that'll be a tough'un and I'd normally go for a draw there but hey, we're looking good so let's take the three points, eh? Come on Arsenal!

Great game for the neutral (I suppose) and a draw was what I would have imagined in a "normal" season BUT, we were 2-0 up, we were pushing for the top (OK, it wasn't going to happen and it certainly won't now), WE WERE 2-0 UP (did I mention that before?) - no, totally unacceptable! Poor (or no) discipline generally, no organization in defence - this, of course is the reason The Arsenal aren't at the top - in fact we could be heading for fourth place (again). I was already floored by our piss-poor performances at ManU and at home to Swansea, this was just another mediocre game, albeit entertaining. What next ?

Crystal Palace at home is the answer. We will, of course bury them innit?!

You'll never win the Premier League with Arse Wenger as your manager.

It's as simple as that. Everybody knows this.

I would worry about palace now.... They are playing for survival...

In a strange sort of way I think The Arsenal are fighting for survival too - at least the individuals who make up the team. I'd expect us to go out there and win big - wishful thinking?

Nah I just think the team isnt playing for Wenger.... Maybe there is a change in the air.... Jose is looking for a home

Jose would absolutely piss the league with those players at his disposal. It would have been wrapped up already, I have no doubt about that.

You got me there Tillts, I nearly chucked up! Still, it's all good. How'd you get on against Dirty Leeds, eh?

We lost against Leeds, jpr. But you knew that. I know you follow our results.

The first half was one of our worst performances of the season, but we've been off the pace for about a month now.

Anyway, back to Jose. You'd soon change your opinion of him when he showed you what a proper manager could do with your squad. He'd breathe new life into your stale club.

Arse is well past his best. I've been telling you this for years.

Actually Tilts I don't particularly follow Brum's results but I do have (ashamed to say) a Leeds fan in my immediate family - 'oribble innit?!
No, The Special One would do nowt at The Arsenal - he won't get the chance (thankfully) to prove me right but there we are.
Arsene Wenger is approaching retirement, probably in a year to two. He isn't "well past his best" and obviously hasn't been in that state "for years". You don't like him, that I accept. I admire the man for all he's done and for being a rose among thorns in terms of the intelligence he brings to English football. There are a few good coaches out there, I trust we'll choose one to replace him in due course.

Yet another poor performance - as I said to a mate on Friday I can't wait for the season to end. I think that's the first time I have ever, in my 56 years of supporting The Arsenal, truly felt that way. Nothing I saw on Sunday made me change my mind - a neatly taken goal from Alexis notwithstanding. Leicester are champions, Tottingham will finish second and we'll finish third or fourth - that's it, finish!

You aint finishing fourth if you dont buck your ideas up.... Manure seem to be finding their feet a bit..

an after the frustration shown by the foxes on sunday there might be a few more twists in this yet

West Brom tonight - coming? We're gonna win - honest - I mean, would I lie to you?

You had better do so...... otherwise You will have manure chasing you for that last CL place

We did plus it was a good performance - two well-struck goals from Alexis, who finally looks back in shape after a long period of not-quite-up-to-it!
Up to Sunderland on Sunday - that's a must-win too (for both teams - so, as we Arsenal fans say "May The Best Team Win" innit)!

You beat West Bromwich Albion. Well done.

It was a tough match.... dont rub it in

Jpr will be along in a bit to tell you "We looked, at times, like Barca"

Whatever - we're still a good team...........

But we don't always show it!

You drew with relegation-threatened Sunderland. Well done.

I think the Arsenal an are going to be visiting some interesting places in eastern europe next season... Probably in a few of the 'stans.... Manure are on a bit of a renaissance whilst the arse are having trouble with an allardyce team....
