Wengers got me believing so much just now I'm seriously thinking bentner will get 20 goals and diaby will never be injured again.

Everton fan in peace.

Just like to say good look for the rest of the season, I really admire the way Arsenal play football and out of the 'top 4' you are the team I would most like to see succeed as you have proper fans, plus I've always had a soft spot for the Gunners as my Grandad used to be an Arsenal fan. Also, I absolutely despise Manchester United and now that Arsenal are the best team in the country, it's funny seeing them go into hysteria cause things aren't going their way! Should be a good game over the weekend but I'm predicting a draw.

Cheers BitterBlue. It's been a great start for you. Playing some lovely football, better then anything served up by Moyes, and to top it off he gives you 24m for Failaini (see what I done there) and you knob'em at theirs. Something we were unable to do. It's nice when a plan comes together :-)
Obviously apart from against us I hope you have a good season. Now let's take a moment to laugh at united. ha where was i? Oh yeah! haha

Thank you BitterBlue.
May I just return the compliment. Martinez is doing a fantastic job at Goodison and you are playing some great football.
We soon play Man City away and Chelsea at home but I think our game against you boys will be just as difficult because you are a very well organised outfit.
Hope you finish runners up to us this season lol.

Thanks BB
The biggest compliment I can give you is Sundays game worry's me more than Napoli or city games.
We need to be at our best in all 3 but strangely its the home game against you that concerns me most.
Says a lot about how far you've come too

Thanks for the replies lads, I think most Everton fans are more than contempt with the way we are playing at the moment, plus Martinez has bought a bit of class and sophistication to Everton which I'm loving! Hopefully we can maintain our form for the season. I just think it's Arsenal's time this season. Your team plays absolutely sensational football and I honestly like watching you guys more than Barcelona etc. The signing of Ozil was a master stroke by Wenger, plus the form of Ramsey, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Corzola and Giroud means you are a completely different proposition this season. I think I've spoke a bit too much anyway, people might start getting the idea that I'm a closet Gunner ;) Good luck lads!

Completely forgot to mention Flamini in that list, he's been a revelation.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks Bitter, but like I said earlier I think your boys are a force.
8 clean sheets in 14 games is remarkable and its going to be one of our toughest games so far.

I have been watching a lot of Draxler lately and I have a theory is that Wenger wants / likes him because is he very much like a young RVP.

Draxler has a good first touch and he has a great shot. He hasn't mastered hold up play as yet, but is comfortable taking on players drifting wide or staying center.

As a prospect to be converted into a CF, this really could be a world class player.

Really proud of how we played yesterday. Our one-touch passing was exceptional (we may have done too much at some times but it was great to watch.) To no surprise, I thought Ramsey played brilliantly in both the attacking and the defensive sides of the games. Whenever he messes up a pass, I love to see him chase after the ball like a madman. Also, continues to convince me Monreal with his play and great work ethic that he should get the start over Gibbs against Everton. He's vastly underrated

The most frustrating thing about Bendtner was his lack of commitment throughout his time with us. He has always had quality even though it has been very sporadic. His international career would suggest he has something. So all I hope for is every time he is called upon he puts in a Giroud like shift. If he does that then the more game time he has the more he'll get used to our build up play and thus contribute more. As has always been the case, the ball is in his court. Whether his motivation is to be part of what we're trying to achieve as a collective, or to impress for individual purposes ie flashing his ankle at any possible interested clubs. Ultimately I don't care. We don't want alot, we just want everything you've got.

P.S has anyone else noticed if you put Özil's eyes on Per, you'll end up with Stephen Merchant?

Just something I was pondering over.

Next summer, in the summer of Suarez as I would like to call it.

the world cup will take centre stage until the 13th of July.

Players will probably be told to keep away from any personal negotiations and concentrate on the team and country.

Most teams have already started scouting the players they want, and we may not see a lot of player movements next summer, due to the time frame, and possibly reluctance to overpay, as everything gets expensive in a world cup year.

i would say depending on how we finish this year, we have a very good chance of completing our squad.

Do we go for Draxler or reus? Do we go for a CDM? do we add a striker to the ranks?

We will lose, bendtner, frimpong and fabianski to expiring contracts. surely we should look to bring in 2-3 "QUALITY" players.

Have a great time Laker and we will kepp nyou updated on the gooners progress.
Come back soon mate.

Sorry about that, it seems halfway through the above post I decided to write in Danish or something similar.

Arsenal vs Everton is my last televised game for the year, then i'm away on holiday in some remote land in the mountains.

take care of the team guys. to those who go to the games, hats off to you all. please continue the support you give the team.

and if spurs are getting hammered by over 3 goals, I don't care what you guys do. satellite tracking, carrier pigeon, military drop off. just get the news to me ASAP. (i will most likely be in Khumjung in nepal) always need a good laugh.

now onto the game on sunday. at that point a lot of factors will be going against us.

1) City, Chelsea will have played and won their games, bringing our lead to 3&1 points.

2) Everton will still be riding high off their win at OT

3) it does not end with everton with city away before we play chelsea. for me this bit of the season will define our credentials. if we take good points for 3 games we are going all the way. if we falter for all, then its 3rd best again. but still on top of united.

Bendtner was booed on to the pitch yesterday I was of the ones who clapped him on, but that really isn't ok. We should get behind all our players. Bendtner was poor in the air but his link up play wasn't bad at times. Glad he got his goal and whilst he's clearly not as good as giroud, he can clearly do a job

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Lets hope we don't see too much of him thou. more a liability.

Missed the game unfortunately. Spent the past hour or so reading about the match and watching highlights. Always a comfort when Szczesny is hardly mentioned in the aftermath, especially with a rotates eleven.

It's amazing how technically good Bendtner is for his size

Now he needs the fitness, desire and mentality

I hope Wenger reinvents him, 6'5 strikers good enough to play wide don't come around often

I would leave Giroud for the big matches but Nick can play against bottom half of table teams

We have been sneaking by, but we have GOT to be more clinical against Everton

Leaving way too many goals on the board

Biggest stretch of season starts now. Time to play like Champions

Last note. Our defense was spectacular again tonight. If BFG and Kos stay healthy, we are winning a trophy this season. No doubt about it
