We were top coming into the weekend and we'll be top at the end of it, and even before a ball is kicked it will be exactly the same next weekend :-)

Last Tuesdays reserve team result is history already.

Gary lineker: " so arsenal having brought messi, ronaldo, Hummels, de Rossi and lahm and also having just beat manchester city 25-1. Alan Hansen can they win the league?" Alan Hansen:" no. I think that city goal showed how vulnerable they are from the counter attack and to suggest they can win the league is absolutely ridicalas. Gary lineker:" Alan shearer can they win the league?" Alan shearer:" no. Until they beat man utd, chelsea, newcastle and a team made up of aliens, dinasours and assassins I don't think they can no.

Lets face it no one believes that we can win the league and that's why it will be oh so sweet when we do. COYG!!

Im happy for the doubters to keep on doubting because it will make the boys more determined

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha love it :) even when we've won it Hansen would say "they were lucky, got an easy run in" something along those lines lol

COYG!

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha hansen will be saying "oh, it was an easy league this year" oh right so that's why Manchester United aren't even contenders despite having a decent squad and manager. that's why we, southapton, everton, chelsea, man city, spurs and liverpoolare all stronger than ever and worthy of playing in europe, we are top of the league 5 points clear on merit, with (i'm going to say it) the best midfield in the world, with a beaut of a manager and a 60,000 capacity stadium. **** off Alan Hansen

Another test that ends in a massive pass me thinks, they keeping telling us what we ain't got and we keep showing em what we do have.

Hold tight, lean right, next stop Dortmund :-)

Oh DG I did say pre Chelski we win 3 of the 4, 2 down 2 to go

Its Sooooooooo very good being a gooner

G62, yes mate you certainly did, so far so good my good buddy

Well played Arsenal. The fluency was not quite there but then again, we did the job. Bring on United!

PS Tomas Rosicky played a very good game for me. He brings a directness to our midfield play that noone else can master!

Gooo Gunners!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Dead right Rue- TR is a terrific player, pity he's has such a bad time with injuries, when he's fit he's a real handful.

Agree0 Disagree0

I thought passing was really sharp and when we went through the gears we troubled them each time. Don't want to jinx but I thought that was comfortable, Arteta really proved that he should be in the starting 11

Agree0 Disagree0

Suarez has just been arrested wandering in a daze around koscielny's house kos the boss brought him home in his pocket forgot to take him out;)
Honestly very proud gooner tonight.

Last year sagna was awful. He's got back to his best. Well done

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sagna is Arsenal's weak link, he is too interested in attacking, he got caught too far forward in the first half and Henderson had a free run on goal. Where was he for Dortmunds 2nd goal, he is a defender and needs to remember that

Agree0 Disagree0

He is told to attack mate, he creates attacking with which creates space for the midfield.
I do agree the amount of good positions he gets in to cross is amazing, it's just a shame he's crossing is as good as his choice of hairstyle

A very professional game: 2 great goals and a clean sheet.

We kept their strikers quiet without Flamini, which we all knew meant Arteta had to put in a huge performance.

I don't see Liverpool as a top 4 team, over the 38 games I can see it being between Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal; if we are still playing with confidence at Christmas then I think we will go into the new year as strong contenders.

Ozil looked tired today, but we can't afford to rest him- at 90% he is still so creative.

I'd now take a draw against Dortmund and a win (and clean sheet) at Old Trafford. I can see Southampton the next game being stronger tougher than Man Utd.

P.s. I just read about Munich equaling the league record of 36 matches unbeaten. 36? Is that it?!

What more can you say about Rambo? Did you see the way he composed himself for that goal? He would never have done that a year ago. What I also love about the boy is he is Arsenal through and through, he will never leave arsenal. (fingers crossed lol)

absolutely ecstatic. good but not great performance and a great result against a team bang in form. I thought kos was brill today, he did what he had to do, no fussing about just clear it.
Do you know it wasnt until the 89th minute that I realised jack wasnt playing, shows how well the boys played, well done lads. bloody ecstatic

I wonder if Kos is going to let Suarez out of his back pocket any time soon.

Good win today. We were the better team by far and it's great to be top. Let's hope it stays that way.

Best performance I've seen in long time. that has to be ourstrongest midfield. Lacks in pace but my god the ball control, movement and vision shared between Rosicky, cazorla, Ramsey, Arteta and Ozil is peerless. Made Liverpool look average when they're very clearly not - it's clear against us if you play less than 5 in midfield it's suicide.

Great match. Great performances all round. Great result.

Reckon we'll beat the mancs next week. It's about time we got something up there.

Coyg.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Our best midfield, however I would drop rosicky for walcott, he gives us something different. However I am very happy with rosickys performances of late.

Credit where credit is due, you guy's totally outclassed us today, the football you play is a joy to watch.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Dalglish Loyalist, sir you are indeed a true gentleman and obviously a lover of football.
I hope we win the prem this season and if we do I would love Liverpool to be runners up because I think BR is doing a great job at Anfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank you DL you are a credit to your club and the game.
Not easy to take when you lose a big match but total respect to you mate.

I hope you make the champions league at the very least this season

a really great performance- Everyone played at top level and two cracking goals sealed it. Defence really did fantastically well- LFC only really got scraps and Shez absolutely swallowed them all up.

COME ON YOU GUNNErsssSSSSSSS!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

02 Nov 2013 19:34:43
Great performance!
Arteta played really well. One of his best defensive performances. Kosielny what can you say. Rosicky, Cazorla and what a goal by Rambo.
I'll be having words with Giroud over his chip shot, but overall his work ethic and bringing players in to play has earned him the right to be rewarded.

Good afternoon my fellow Gooners.

Really looking forward to the game. Its going to be who can outscore the other, would be really surprised if there was less than 3 goals and any clean sheets. The Sturridge-Suarez combo is working wonders for them, but it comes at a price and they are leaking goals at the back. Scoring is also our forte, Ramsey and Giroud are banging them in at the moment. Shame we are misding Flamin, the game hinges on how Arteta plays, someone already mentioned this it is completely true. If he can cut off supply from Coutinhio and Gerrard itll be hard for them to score. I really hope Mingolet doesn't have a awesome game, too mamy times have keepers come to the Emirates and played absolute blinders.

Im going for 4-3 to us (Crazy, I know). I do think we will edge it because we have a better defence. Sturridge, Suarez, Giroud, Cazorla and Arteta all to score.

I do feel however we can't win this one with the media. If we lose itll be the old "cant beat the big teams" if we win the itll be "Liverpool aren't a big team, wait till we play City, Bayern, Barca, Brazil. ".

No disrespect to LFC fans I think you are real contenders this season, and I would love for you to finish top 4 at the expense of Spurs, City or United. So good luck for this season, but not today. And if you could sell us Suarez and Agger that would be great ;)

Peace

" Arsenal's squad was found wanting against a second-string Chelsea on Tuesday "
Anyone else tired of the constant little digs that sly sports makes against us? It seems everytime I read an article about our club there is a negative comment or remark made . I can't wait until the day we win the league again and wipe the floor with the sugar daddy clubs . COYG!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Personally I can't stand sly spurts anymore. a lot of B.S and very little news/journalism or nothing you did not know already.

Don't worry found it on the one that rhymes with walk court if anyone else is interested. (not sure what you're aloud to publish as a site) {Ed044's Note - Saying what it actually is might help people a lot more than giving rhyming clues.}

It´s been some years since I´ve been this nervous about a clash against Pools.It´s all about the midfield today, if we don´t close down their buildup play from Gerrard and co we can go down really bad.On the other hand we have scored a lot of goals this year on the counterattack and at times we have played a fantastic football.My prediction for today is that Cazorla and Giroud put one each in the net and Suarez get an easy penalty.2-1 hopefully.This is the games we´ve been waiting for.

Liverpool fan here just to say it's going to be a good game today very tight but Liverpool will win 3-2! Anyway I hope arsenal do well overall i'd rather the big money spenders fall out top 4 that would be funny. I would wish you luck guys but don't want too!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hi redtwist, good luck to you too my friend but you are wrong about todays prediction lol

Big test 2day but i'm going for a 2-1 win to us

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Arteta's biggest test. I'm sayin' 4-2. if he has a shocker with more needless fouls all over the shop, then a nasty 2-1. ARSENAL.

Apparently we have taken fewer points this season apposed to the same fixtures last year, really?

22 from a possible 27 and we are on a downward spiral? We must have been good last year then, just a shame I can't remember it.

I have no recollection of us being top at any point last year, all I remember is a mad last minute run to make 4th spot in our last 10 games nicely papering over many cracks.

Statistics and journalists! Should be kept apart as one always tries to corrupt the other for their ends

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Didn't we have 27 points from these fixtures last season? I like this stat because it shows that we're brilliant

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Nov 2013 07:01:42
I have a feeling that we're going to really miss Flamini tomorrow, especially when Coutinho has just returned from injury. Our enforcer needs to be on the pitch to limit Coutinho's creativity, who is Liverpool's only creative midfielder {Ed025's Note - i think you do gerrard a disservice there mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I rate him highly because of his fundamentals but I don't value him creatively
