Did you know we have more points already from the 9 games we have played this season than we did from our first 15 games last season.
Not many people know that
Tune in next week for more useless facts folks, unless you have a freshly painted wall to watch dry that is :-)

I'm with you US, Totally.
Nine points? big ask, but great teams sometimes have to do great things.
Tomorrow is just the beginning for us.
Its sooooo good being a gooner

Haha I bet even if we have an outstanding game, win and keep a clean sheet, Hansen will find something to criticise:
"Well, they've got a lucky result but can they do it against the big boys? Liverpool aren't exactly, well, Liverpool when I was there. The clean sheet is irrelevant because Mertesacker looks weird and Arteta plays through balls. So chalk it up to luck. Liverpool on the other hand, although they lost, showed some real signs of champions' quality. I would say Arsenal will finish 5th based on this result, because I'm Alan Hansen. And you can't deny that, can you?"

Back to the real business tomorrow and I'm in very confident we will be looking good again.
This for us is a must win as we have to finish 3rd at worst this season to show improvement, as for Liverpool they would be more than happy with 4th spot and even 5th would still mean them moving in the right direction.
We haven't qualified for the CL for so many years in succession without being a good side, but now we are better than we have been for years and we need to show that tomorrow against a very decent Liverpool.
Liverpool at home is a potential points dropper no question but so was Swansea away and we showed our improvement there this is just the same, a point at anfield would be good but it has to be 3 at home for us.
Its part and parcel of being a contender

I agree g62. We can definitely take advantage if the fact that Liverpool will be happy with a draw. The only thing is that we will be missing flamini, so our midfield might not be as adventurous. It will require a different kind if game to usual but we are good enough to do it. We really need to contain Drac and Sturridge with arteta and the back 4 staying organised, frustrate them and be clinical when we get opportunities. Cazorla hasn't quite got back yet, but I think he'll have a big game.

Don't worry my friends. Tomorrow the difference in the table between us and Liverpool will be 5 points.

Oh and there will be a lot of moaning, whining and bitching on the Liverpool page.

Your right Oleg we have to be aware their front two are a real handful and Flamini's absents has to be allowed for as not to would be extremely naive.
But that said we have to play our own game too as much as possible, because even without Flamini pound for pound we are the better team and we mustn't lose track of it.
Come on lads let's get everyone oozing about us again

Liverpool are never happy with a point, no matter who we play
Agree0

Its going to be close . I recon 3 -2 or 2 -1 to us.
But Suarez will score against us to prove a point. its a shame we didn't get him. he would have been the final piece in the jiggsaw
Agree0

Yeah MKD I had a look at the their page, there as confident as we are.
I hope both teams play to their full potential, that would be brilliant and we really will be 5pts clear

That's fair Hounsred we will take the 3 then mate with your blessing, rather nice of you
