I am missing something. Someone just said did you watch the England game!? I thought they took a break for international football??

Any way now for alexis hat trick madness on MOTD

26 Sep 2015 18:44:57
Sorry, thought I heard on radio, walcott two. Instead the legend with three. Well done again though wallly, keep knocking em in.

26 Sep 2015 17:42:50
Good game from Walcott. More all round striker's game. We look imbalanced in midfield. With this line up move to a diamond with Sanchez and Walcott as the two up front? Sanchez and Ramsey still too many give aways. Cech good value for the extra two poonts today.

Was the result of the day away from home to an in form Leicester . Would of been nice to keep a clean sheet!

But three points off top and we have yet to hit consistent form United have arguably had the easier start (not taking nothing away from them) so the leagues wide open we have seen the best and worst of every team and it's basically all square. And we have beaten the only unbeaten team in prem.

Oh and Newcastle just gone 1 up happy days

I am leaving my wife for Sanchez

26 Sep 2015 17:20:03
My wife looks like Sanchez.

Ole'.

26 Sep 2015 19:58:42
I thought she looked more like Ronny Corbett dags.

Only kidding 😘

26 Sep 2015 20:21:25
Grow28,

Mate, she looks more like Ronny Rosenthal.

I jest of course 😊

{Ed007's Note - I suggested we started a 'Poster's WAGs' section but for some odd reason some of the younger single Eds weren't keen when I suggested instead of a WAG they could post pics of their mam/aunt/gran/older sister or even a next door neighbour.}

26 Sep 2015 22:16:08
I'm up for that Ed.

Sounds like fun to me.

{Ed007's Note - Well you're the one sitting on a beach with his Mrs so get cracking.... ;)

26 Sep 2015 16:39:21
Stunning from.................................Sanchez...........this bloke is pure class, we must really keep him at the club

Currently 1-4, huge 3 points .

We welcome the league leaders next week.

26 Sep 2015 17:08:46
Best player in the league him Banbury.

26 Sep 2015 17:22:04
Followed by Smalling?

Kiss kiss Chris.

26 Sep 2015 17:22:05
He is class

Arsene will need to keep him at the club.....he could well end up in the same company as Dennis and Wrighty and Henry

26 Sep 2015 18:32:13
If he see his time out with us then I have no doubt he will be a club legend. (Prob need some significant silverware as well)

26 Sep 2015 19:53:11
He's good dags but not Chris Smalling good :)

26 Sep 2015 20:23:00
Thoughts so Chris.

Smalling is in a league of his own.

Conference I think 😉

26 Sep 2015 20:39:45
He's been brilliant him though.

26 Sep 2015 15:49:39
I have never seen a team play this open against us. We will get 5-6 probably give up 3. Should be a fun second half.

26 Sep 2015 17:24:28
Good prediction, ended 5-2..

26 Sep 2015 22:17:12
Respect Darren.

28 Sep 2015 04:21:11
Appreciate it Dags! But seriously I wish everyone played us like that but won't ever happen.

26 Sep 2015 15:08:01
Strong side but looking at the bench there isn't much in the way of goals is there

26 Sep 2015 17:23:09
Yep,

We are going to struggle Bambam.

Got 0-0 all over it, lol.

26 Sep 2015 13:30:04
De bruyne wouldn't get into our team... Ok then guys lol. The guys class stoner

26 Sep 2015 13:47:05
Which were you most impressed by Derby? His offside goal, or his ridiculous pass that set up Spurs' equaliser?

26 Sep 2015 14:05:38
Not much point in me adding to what Ubi has said, well apart from asking are your team still going to walk to the title this season as you predicted after 3 games.

Getting a little embarassing now fella. :-)

26 Sep 2015 14:06:46
Seems he's doing great for them...comes into a team with a 100% win ratio and then they lose two on the bounce, good spot Derby.

26 Sep 2015 14:23:00
They've conceded a goal to Lamela now. All the top sides are doing that though. How much did Otamendi cost again?

26 Sep 2015 07:57:13
Mourinho is becoming an embarrassment. It makes me appreciate Wenger even more. He has been at the club for almost 20 years and has won many trophies. Yes, there was a barren period whilst we buit and paid for the stadium. Now we have won trophies two seasons running and the squad is looking good, bar a couple of signings. Other than financially doped Man C, Man U & Chelsea, I can't think of any more successful Premier League team over the last 20 years.
We have a decent squad, a modern stadium, great training facillities and Wenger has given us Champions League football every season. We are nor far off joining the top European teams.
Yes Mourinho has won trophies, but he rarely stays long at a club and doesn't build for the future. When Wenger eventually goes, he will leave a club in excellent shape for the new manager.

26 Sep 2015 08:28:10
Modern day football though mate. Managers won't do that long again I don't think

26 Sep 2015 08:33:13
Can't really add to that. The above is exactly how I feel about our club.

26 Sep 2015 08:52:36
I can't think of any more successful Premier League team over the last 20 years.

Come off it

26 Sep 2015 09:35:56
Apart from City, Chelsea and United...so 4th most successful then?

I like Wenger think he's a good manager but all top teams now spend money Barca, Real, Bayern as well as your Epl rivals. In today's game you could argue that Arsenal are financially shy rather than those clubs being financially doped as you put it. I thought the whole point of the emirates was to even the playing field in that respect? Money should no longer be an excuse for Wenger to hide behind, especially with so much of it sat in the bank.

Mourinho is a t1t though I agree! But he also tends to bring success in the short term - they are opposites of each other in many ways.

26 Sep 2015 09:44:30
Did you know that if you discount all the countries that have a better economic record over the last 20 years than Britain's that Britain actually has the best.
Also if you if you don't count the Beatles Abba and other groups that outsold fun boy three are the world's biggest selling band.
I must update my CV I'm underselling myself if you don't count the majority of other people who are better than me :-)

26 Sep 2015 09:45:29
Good post and well put , yes great stadium and wonderful training facilities for the fit players

Most successful team in the last 20 years .........a million miles away from that

26 Sep 2015 10:42:29
That's an excellent post Honey mate, mourinho is obviously jealous of Arsene because none of his employers have ever felt about him as the Arsenal board feel about Wenger.
Every time mourinho leaves a club its either by mutual consent or the clubs chioce he just doesn't get the love he craves from his employers and recents recents Arsene getting it so freely and in his view undeservedly.
The facts are José its the way you go about things that makes those you represent dislike you dispite the success you bring them, you will never get the love you crave because of you not Arsene, Arsene is not your problem José you are.
Arsene Wenger is most definitely the premier leagues biggest under achiever if you measure £ for £ plus time in the job and resources to hand but mourinho is without question the one with the biggest problems because were ever he goes his problems will always go with him.

26 Sep 2015 11:28:01
Good post - look what Chelsea, City and Utd have spent over the past 8 years. Not many teams without that money can even compete - except us. I think Wenger has done an awesome job.
Why don't you try and win fantasy football with 75 m to spend and let 4 of your mates have 500m with no restriction and see how YOU do. Give it a go and get back to me!

26 Sep 2015 11:58:55
Or try getting 4th on Norwich or Swansea or Southamptons budget, 4th with Arsenal most seasons and the occasional distant 3rd isn't the greatest of achievements in my book.
We are not minnows we just compare our achiements to smaller clubs to make our self's look good and moan about those who spend more to achieve their ambitions because it shows how little ambition we really have our selfs.
Arsene Wenger an excuse for every occasion or Arsene Wenger the great achiever who keeps us above the likes of west brom west Ham and Stoke season after season?
I guess it comes down to if you really consider 4th place Arsenal football clubs limit

26 Sep 2015 12:46:14
62 - I am not saying 4th is our goal but given our resources 3rd or 4th is not under achieving or enough for the manager to get sacked.
I want to compete for the title but I also understand that we have had our hands tied a bit and it is a slight handicapped race but we can still hope and want to compete as we have built a strong squad and now have funds at long last....
