Could we have a quick opinion poll please Ed,

Yes or no?
I say yes :-)

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Vote on Ed025 Poll

24 Oct 2015 23:41:49
Ed025 is a gooner with Evertonian tendencies :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - you leave my tendencies out of it G62!.. :)

24 Oct 2015 23:52:23
Not from me, I've got great respect for him dags and i like Everton. i'm sure he can take a bit of stick tho.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i can take it steve...and can assure you if we had won i would have been crowing on here about it all season mate.. :)

25 Oct 2015 00:31:16
My point ed like you, your second team is arsenal, mines everton. My mates an evertonian and he likes the gunners. It must be some kind of love triangle. Lol. Both clubs I think are run on deep rooted values, that nowadays is rare.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - if we dont win soon steve everton will be my second team.. :)

25 Oct 2015 00:39:36
Everton are the only team I feel a bit remorseful over beating mainly because ed25s a jolly nice chap :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Oct 2015 00:42:02
Just seen Everton's new away kit for next season.
It's bright pink with luminous orange stripes.
No way I'm wearing that.
It says Everton on it :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Oct 2015 01:18:08
I think both Arsenal and Everton like to do things the correct way.
Have a lot of respect for Everton.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Oct 2015 00:46:38
Ha ha that's made me laugh. You have just had two hard games, I am sure you will pick it up again soon. I like delafeu, he's dangerous, well he is against us. Has naismith upset the manager, or is he injured.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he's been out of form to be honest Steve, he scored a hat trick against Chelsea ..but to be fair that's not a great feat this season.. :)

24 Oct 2015 23:02:31
I very rarely post, I just watch this site and appreciate other opinions. a lot of different views on here but for me ozil is finally proving his worth. I really believe bellerin will be one of the best right backs in the world within a couple years! Exciting times for the gooners.

Agree Brad,
Keep posting mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 23:29:58
Hi Brad welcome aboard mate, I think because of having more pace ahead of him Mesut is able to show the side of his game that people want to see and makes everyone happy but his stats on assists and work rate have been but excellent all along its only the way he so quietly goes about things that's caused the devide in opinion until now.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - or maybe that he has now knuckled down and stopped being the spoilt brad he was when he first came G62..

24 Oct 2015 23:48:54
Agree with Ed,
Also, I think he has looked at Sanchez's workrate and upped his game.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 23:51:55
Personally Ed I think he's adapted to us and us him so he's its time to see him at his absolute best, but his stats have been good all along.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Oct 2015 04:21:44
Me thinks everyone has looked at Sanchez work rate and upped their game, which is a great thing. Even me - the paper work has flown off my desk since the day we got him!

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Oct 2015 00:38:06
Did he really seem that spoilt ed? I always thought he came across pretty well. Going from feeding Ronaldo to feeding giroud is quite a change.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he did not want to be at Arsenal Eden, but fair play to him, he has stopped sulking and now is showing his worth mate..

24 Oct 2015 22:17:50
Think we should rest Cech for next 12 games and play Ospina, its only fair.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 21:00:54
Ok chaps great win today but also interestingly it looks like mourniho has lost the Chelsea dressing room. which would suggest why Marin granovskaia has made initial contact with guardiola and I believe she has suggest December for him to come to Chelsea. But hey who cares we are top of the league!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 21:33:24
Every week Chelsea make headlines for the wrong reasons even when they beat us it was controversy, I don't think this is the image Ambramovich wants for Chelsea.
I think his real dream is to be like Barcelona and Bayern Munich 1 successful 2 play great football and 3 be admired and respected by all, with mourinho he gets 1 for sure 2 occasionally but 3 is not within his make up to be able to deliver.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:02:34
Agree G62,
But I think you have upset the boys on Chelsea page, lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:08:21
totally agree g62 a few managers were sacked for winning but in the wrong way. ancellotti and de matteo correct me if i'm wrong and mourinho plays uglier football than either of them. and his interviews are just embarrassing!

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:27:12
I know Dags and I wasn't even trying to :-) made me laugh how far back they had to go to dig some dirt on our players on field behaviour 12 years to get anything close to a Costa like regular event.
They must have hired a JCB to dig that deep where as with them a plastic spoon is more than enough.
I really don't think that's what Ambramovich wants.
People moan about city's money but Mancini and Pelgrini have represented their club brilliantly as to be fair have the board.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:43:01
Haha, love it G62.
You are indeed correct.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 20:40:13
Mesut Ozil has the highest ever assists per game ratio since the premier league started, plus he covers more ground than any other Arsenal player including both Sanchez and Ramsey.
Do we all like him yet? :-)

Believable1 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 22:06:00
I have always posted that I'm not his biggest fan.
Yes, he has an amazing assist record, but thought he was lazy and never imposes himself enough, certainly not £42m worth of imposing.
But, I'm holding my hands up here and saying I now love the guy.
He puts himself about, gets involved, wants the ball and is now a major player in our ranks, a first choicer.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:11:42
i think theo up front suits him a lot better than giroud with the runs he makes. its amazing the difference a year makes when you compare fab and ozil isn't it?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:47:35
Ozil is playing more for the team now than at any time since he joined. He had to change his game and he has, i still think there may be more to come.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 20:26:09
Good performance after hard week. I think wenger could and should have brought Walcott on at 70 but it's not a concern now. A draw tomorrow would be nice.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 20:37:14
Draw tomorrow?
Steve, you trying to upset Derby?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 22:13:51
i think a utd win would be slightly better ( i will go wash my mouth out with soap) i think they are likely to drop more points against lower teams but i would take either :)

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Oct 2015 01:01:22
I was just about to say that eden, Manchester United are more likely to drop points to smaller teams than City but could maybe pull a result out for the derby, so a tight 1 nil win for them, we stay top and the goal difference isn't affected much.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 19:56:45
And I got score correct again, lol.

Great result, full credit to Everton, they played well once Barklay scored.
Very happy. Credit to Giroud, again.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 20:11:37
It was a good game Everton showed some steel and never stopped been a threat. A good test that we came through, the fortunate goal made it closer than I would have liked but we are top of the league and now looking forward to Jose mourinhos excuses on MOTD.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 oct 2015 20:28:55
well done dags, since i started predicting results, i've been close and we have won ever game. long may it continue. we r top of d league. we r top of the league.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 20:38:39
Very true Sligo, you keep hitting the bar mate.
Grow, bet Mourinho doesn't do an interview on MOTD.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 19:25:20
Loved Gab celebrating that tackle! The new Keown.

Unlucky to not have scored more and as a result lucky to hold on for the win. Overall deserved it but made hard work of it.

Cech is quickly paying for himself.

Ozil was class again.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 19:54:57
SY - I was going to post the same thing. It was just typical Arsenal those last 10 minutes - going forward looking for the 3rd and leaving ourselves open to the counter. When Flamini came on, I thought we were going to tighten up, but no, he goes marauding forward! I have to say, we need to be smarter if we are in the same position later in the season.

But well done us! Top of the league. let's see how the team react now as this is a different type of pressure.

Ozil MotM - he was excellent again.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 19:24:43
Great win . again

could have been 6-3 .

When you think DW, AR, PM and JW are out with Theo rested, the current crop are doing well . If we can just keep the injuries down and add a couple more we will not be ar away.

Very true Bambam.

24 Oct 2015 19:14:11
Making real hard work of this

Come on Arsenal!

What does Barkley need to do to get booked?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We need a third for that two goal cushion, living dangerously.

We have such a choice now. Two goals by the way of crosses . There is a different feel to this team now . We look solid.

Yes, think so, he's in full swimming gear today.

You have to say that there is a full scale meltdown at Chelsea. Just looked at the stats and not only are they getting beat they have had matic sent off and 5 yellow cards. It's amazing it's the same side that won the leauge at a canter. My thoughts go out to the poor Chelsea fans 😥.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - manager and asst manager sent to the stands as well.}

24 Oct 2015 16:17:17
You have to say it's a crisis ed. it's mind blowing how it's going for the boys in blue. There must be massive problem in that dressing room.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is not going their way right now but not a ceisis. I have no idea what you mean by "problem in the dressing room"? I appreciate it is a cliché of course, but what problem do you see?}

24 Oct 2015 16:56:23
Carlo in until the end of the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 17:05:01
If you also take into account the back end of last season, this is now half of a season that they have just been horrible. Well, they've always been horrible, but horrible results I mean.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 18:02:55
Well of course it's speculative but it's no secret that mour has put a few noses out of joint. One thing is for sure is that they have lost their discipline.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 15:31:11
Robben is back for Bayern. Goal and an assistant. Only halftime.

My prediction v Everton is what ever Banbury says, he's never far wrong.
No pressure mate :-)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Oct 2015 10:29:18
We shouldn't be far off 2-0 mate, I would be amazed if we dropped any points, even though Everton aren't a bad outfit, we are on a good run. The margin might be more . the one DANGER is complacency.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 13:02:07
2 0 will do very nicely mate.
I like to think we've learned our lessons over complacency, Monaco west Ham Olypiakos Zargreb results should be more than enough reminders, I hope :-)
Anyone who takes Everton lightly deserves everything they get.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 14:34:24
Going to stick my neck out, then if I'm wrong, wind it back in! Going for 1-0 to us at half -time, 3-1 to us full-time . Will be a very tough game .

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 14:37:02
2 nil - Theo and Ozil

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2015 17:24:05
2-1, Sanchez/Giroud.

{Ed025's Note - 0-3!! COYB..
