Aguero done again.

Everybody thought the same about Fabregas last season. Ozil does look good though. With the two today its at like 14?

Özil is actually quick and can play effectively in a very advanced position unlike Cesc. He's also phenomenal in tight spaces with the ball and can beat a man with a dribble.

They seemed to have got it more together this season.some class players and chance to add.yeah may change but duno seem likely at this stage and to early to discount them

[Pizy 17,860]

Hammering City here and I completely forgot that their best player is out.

Hopefully we have some nice, attacking football next season.

[Pizy 17,860]

That's a fucking unreal goal. Fuck me!

[Special Juan 27,103]

Not even funny that goal from Yaya, absolutely sublime.

how awful Sterling has been...

[DYC. 7,542]

Why is Touré always refered to as a powerhouse? He's just a very big technician. Gorgeous goal.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

how awful Sterling has been...

To be fair it was a difficult position to be thrown in, especially at his age.

how awful Sterling has been...

Money has truly gone insane. 50 Million Pounds for this shit

This season is like the perfect storm for Arsenal. We're utter shit, United are shit, City have their best player injured half the time and their captain and best defender is missing, and Liverpool are Liverpool.

If Wenger doesn't win the league this season he should resign and beg Pep to take over.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Exactly they need a big fall out to not win or go close.

[Jase 43,479]

Might just impose a football blackout on myself if Arsenal win the league. We'll never hear the end of it.

[iseah100 5,612]

Arsenal will finish 2nd.

all started with the fa cup wins breaking it..they probably deserve to but nahhhhhhh.don't sew who else though city are dodgy..be amazing for Leicester to but won't happen

Thing is this is them with injuries.

Didn't Fabregas nearly break Henry's record then missed the chance for kicking the ball at West brom bloke..times change quick!

5 off..no reason why he wont

Arsenal will not win the League with this squad. Its too thin, many positions where if one player has a serious injury the whole system falls appart. They would have to be extremely lucky and not lose anyone important. Every season you will have injuries somewhere and when you dont have replacements it gets almost impossible to win a long and competitive league like the Premier. Lets say Arsenal loses Giroud, Ozil, Metesaker/Koscielny or Cech for like, 3-4 games. Boom, they will easily drop points in 2 of those or w/e and then ManCity will be right at their tail again. Plus the fact 80% of their players have won fuck all so no experience in the very tense decisive moments.

In my opinion, Arsenal will only win the League if they sign a proper ST and a DM. They dont even need to be world class players, they just have to be good enough to be able to produce at the EPL level and stir competition so the Girouds and Flaminis of the world dont feel like they have their starting position granted to them even if they suck balls every other match.

Arsenal was lucky IMHO, scored with their first shot on target and then Titus Mangala gifted them the second. Had De Bruyne burried that big chance just before Arsenal scored probably the outcome would have been different.

I like Pellegrini's approach to matches - no matter the opponent, City play their natural game, keep a highline, their full-backs bomb forward, possession is always supperior and players are not restricted to express themselves on the pitch.

As I said the other day - can't see any world-class mananger available next summer worth breaking the bank for him, bar Diego Simeone. But we have to have a plan B in case he stays in Madrid and IMHO Pellegrini should be on that list.

Assuming City win the title come May, which I truly believe they will, we'd be fools not to even consider a proven manager with two EPL titles in his three season in England.
