It's the raver coming through in his Subaru tanked up on pie and mash, Harry Kane smashes another London club to keep us UNBEATEN, and the raver absolutely loves it.

19 Nov 2016 19:41:11
That's the difference a top top striker makes Raver mate, you did brilliantly to stay unbeaten and in the race while he was out injured mate now your in an excellent position to start making up some ground, you are deffinately contenders.

{Ed025's Note - for top 4 maybe G62...for the title?..never in a million mate..

19 Nov 2016 20:04:40
Top man gunner as always, we were very lucky tonight but there is a tough mentality at our club and are not losing while missing loads of key players. We've got the most lethal striker in the league back in Kane and all we need is the classy alderwereld and we'll be up there with you boys.

19 Nov 2016 20:18:42
Extremely difficult to beat and when Harry plays there always likely to score goals either by Harry himself or a team mate from the space and chances Harry creates Ed mate.
There's no runaway team as yet and all look capable of dropping points mate so I think they might well stay the course as they've coped well with very important players missing.

{Ed025's Note - but they are SPURS!!!...they have forgotten how to win G62 and their squad depth when the going gets tough will find them out mate, we have all been here before and this season will be no different...i actually enjoy watching them and they look very strong, but dont tell raver.. :)

19 Nov 2016 20:35:57
ed I'll pay you later, keep those nice comments coming mate.

{Ed025's Note - they were not for your eyes raver.. :)

19 Nov 2016 20:36:22
I know what your saying Ed mate but after brexit and Trump its best not to write anyone off mate :-)

{Ed025's Note - very true mate..

19 Nov 2016 20:49:44
Raver you and me both know how this season will end, even with harry kane back. Both teams look good until it matters.

19 Nov 2016 22:05:43
Raver i think kane is after a January move to united, good audition today.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think he will go down market steve.. :)

19 Nov 2016 22:23:31
Ed, you are right but he won't get £300 million a week at spuds either. No trophies at spurs on 100 though and no trophies or jackpot at man utd and no trophies, i think i know which he will choose.

20 Nov 2016 08:00:16
Oh dear Raver the stalker. The Toot are out of the top four, out of the league cup and are teetering on the brink of CL elimination in a weak group. Perhaps they are missing Thursday nights in the second rate EL. As they say. the pain at the lane just goes on. 1961 and waiting. 55 years ago!

20 Nov 2016 11:38:04
Some pain R. G., unbeaten in the league with loads of players to come back, we've got the best striker in the league back in kane and he's smashing goals for fun again to keep us only 3 points of the top of the league with alderwereld to return this week. I see your boys failed to beat another big club yesterday, it's ok beating Burnley, Swansea etc but you can't do it against spurs, Liverpool man Utd etc. You are, still in the league cup well done R. G. That's the only thing you will get close to win.

20 Nov 2016 13:00:36
Raver - ooops, still behind us in the PL, out of the League Cup and struggling in the CL. The Toot can't even win the League Cup this season, if we are experts in failure what does that make the Toot? Tell me what your 'best striker' has won? Absolutely nothing and how long will he stay at a second rate club that hasn't won anything for years? Will he leave like super Sol to a big club that wins things and can pay him the salary he deserves? We are so bad according to you, but we have reigned supreme in North London for decades. I can't even recall the last time you finished above us, but I do recall the last time you won the League, 1961! The pain at the lane just goes on. 55 years and counting.

20 Nov 2016 16:20:12
You talk about harry Kane moving on for better things just like robin van persie, fabregas etc, they didn't win a thing with you and look what happened when they left, I see ozil and Sanchez are looking for a way out R. G.

20 Nov 2016 16:45:44
Raver any top player will look to move to a club where they get more money and win trophies. There is a food chain and we all know where it goes.

20 Nov 2016 19:43:36
Agree with you Steve, but try telling that to deluded R. G.

20 Nov 2016 22:09:47
Raver you know its all wind up, you love it really.

19 Nov 2016 15:53:39
Damn good point I say


Apart from keeping the long going the thing that stands out for me is how strong our bench is this season.

19 Nov 2016 16:05:17
We would not have got that point last season, but we are a bit more resilient this season.

Very poor offensively, Ramsey is a waste of a jersey and Walcott went missing.

Poor performance going forward, decent at the back, but no creativity.

Point at OT?
I will take that.

19 Nov 2016 16:38:36
Agree boys this season is about results not more excuses, injuries naughty stadium whatever people want to hide behind is done and dusted its all about results and it's about time we got enough good results to mount a challenge that runs well into May.
For me Ramsey on the wing is a proven waste of time but it's Arsene's call and if he keeps getting the results fair play and if he doesn't its time to give someone else a go.
A point at Old Trafford is a good result so no matter how it was achieved Arsene gets the credit, much like our draw at PSG they should have finished us off in the first half hour but they didn't so if we beat them Wednesday we win the group and Arssne gets the credit there too.
The final table won't show how bad we were today but it will show we got a point more than usual and that's good enough for me.

19 Nov 2016 16:42:01
It was a good point because we stole it, they are always good points.

19 Nov 2016 17:15:39
Dags you forgot ozil went missing to, so did sanchez, playing every position except striker and goalie.

19 Nov 2016 17:26:29
True Steve,
Hard to pick out a stand out player for Arsenal.

19 Nov 2016 17:54:49
It was a good point nonetheless as most of you here mentioned we would have lost this game in previous seasons. But even if we are palying sh@t the team fought back and the sub scored so there's a plan B which pleasing to see.
Another thing, whether you think its an excuse or not most of our players were on international duties and have just got back so fatigue is very obvious in our team so it could be worse.
Oh and ramsey is a waste of a player.

19 Nov 2016 18:46:20
To be fair Mo so we're utds players away on international duty plus they had more players missing through injury than us and ibra suspended but it makes absolutely no difference in reality, they bear us with thier under 12s last season, well as good as :-)

19 Nov 2016 20:55:23
I love Ramsey to bits great guy and player but if wenger is going to insist on playing him out of position and ruining our set-up then I would just as soon sell him off than have this confusion, stubborn old boss he is.

19 Nov 2016 20:56:34
Moe it is an excuse, that applies to most of the players, one who didn't ozil was a major let down. let's stop trying to excuse what isn't an excuse. We are 2 points or 3 depending off the top, but we need a dramatic improvement to stay there. We have got a good league run now but its a case of winning every game. Now for psg and a chance to redeem ourselves.

19 Nov 2016 21:27:13
Red i just can't understand why he keeps messing the balance just to shoehorn him in, why does he think it works like that, when it plainly doesn't.

20 Nov 2016 10:10:02
G62 mate, they are missing Ibra yes but we are missing the engine to our middlefield in santi,
I'm not making excuses and trust me I wasn't happy while watching us being that crap.
Steve, players need each other espacially in our style of play, we played with 2 holding midfielders none of them knew how to create something to help the players in front, they might have defended well but not great to the point that our attacking players had freedom to do there work.

20 Nov 2016 11:08:31
Without Caz we simply can't get the defence/ attack ballance right, if we're tight at the back were weak going forward and if we create chances we end up conceeding lots of chances too, we don't control games we either stiffle them or go toe to toe in a free for all shooting match.

19 Nov 2016 14:50:47
Wasn't the result I wanted but I see a silver lining in giroud. Seems to be in a fighting spirit to get his spot back. Being demoted to the subs seems to have inspired him.

19 Nov 2016 15:07:18
If santi is out and Ramsey is still out on the wing then we have a big problem mr. Wenger. Ramsey is a cm, we have way better wingers. Have supported Wenger half my adult life but he is a stubborn piece of work!

19 Nov 2016 15:09:46
Never been a fan of Giroud, but I agree wholeheartedly. He is putting in important cameos so far this season.

19 Nov 2016 15:13:18
Giroud has always scored a decent amount. Just not in the style us arsenal fans have been used to.

19 Nov 2016 15:54:28
Ramsey was a fish out of water today, waste of a player.

19 Nov 2016 16:31:52
Ramsay was a fish out of water but you can only blame wenger the way he set the team up, it isn't ramsays fault wenger takes him out of the game. Yes we scammed a point and that on the face of it is ok but what an awful disjointed attack. Very very lucky, i thought man u were mostly dire too, most of their opportunities came from our flakeyness and not their dominance. We are not title contenders not by a long way.

19 Nov 2016 16:22:13
A fish under the fillet knife.

19 Nov 2016 16:43:42
Good analogy grow, like it.

19 Nov 2016 14:35:02
The moment i saw ramsey's name in the starting line up, i knew it'd take a miracle to get something out of this game. We were shocking today. Wenger still makes repeated mistakes. Playing Ramsey out of position is like playing Cech at number 9.
