Obviously (@ bold), but yes i would say that we deserve it if today was the last fixture because I can't simply judge a team over just 2-3 months. It's not a knock out competition or a cup, it's a league and the dynamics are complex. You can't expect to win a league by playing beautiful football all the time. There's fatigue, mental issues and other factors. It's not a coincidence that we started dipping just after the 5-3 loss. I am grateful too for our first half but i also try to be patient right now because i know the players especially are having a difficulty mentally. It showed last season and at times this season too. But we are looking like we're going to win it because every time the last couple of weeks we found ourselves behind we managed to take the necessary points. It's not a shame to be able to do that. People need to be more patient and support their team (i'm referring generally don't take this personally please).

@ Cosmin: lol you missed my point completely. Indeed Arsenal are the 2015 champions (so far) but what does this matter? Is there anywhere in the world a half season championship? wtf? Still irrelevant. And ffs, CapsLock doesn't help mate.

I'm sorry mate but that's just a very stupid thing to say. This is the Premier League and the whole season matters. Why the hell wouldn't we deserve the title if the season was over today? We are 5 points in front.

fucking hell! we are not even playing badly to deserve this.

Wenger won manager of the month curse. They play tomorrow at home vs Liverpool, a draw would be nice

Not unexpected. Just as soon as a young English talent may have risen they immediately turn on the wankfest. And it probably adds more pressure to Kane which may or may not be good for him but given his age it's probably not good.

Walcott is right footed too, isn't he?

He is a good squad option imo, for the right price of course. But if this is true then why did we let Schurrle go? ...

Franck Ribery: Eden Hazard, not Kevin De Bruyne, suits Bayern Munich Franck i like you but.... shut your mouth please

Danilo

Haha. How rude of Portugal to steal the show from us. We lost against Faroe Islands which first team players are plumbers and electricians.

If that's true it's good and interesting news.

Yes. That's so unfortunate. The players are fine but the driver didn't make it.

It's player of the year, not player of 2015-so-far so... Eden is in front of everyone imo and by some distance. If they choose Kane as POTY it will be English madness and cringe worthy.

Didn't watch it but judging from the highlights we were better than last time i saw us beaten by Faroe Islands. I mean... lol. It wasn't anything exciting, mostly bad finishing. What's your take? Was the score fair?

Good post. We just need to accept that Willian will never be the equivalent of Hazard in the right wing. He is great for certain stuff and a useful player to have and possibly a starter. I don't care as long as it works, and if we're going to win the PL with him playing regularly then so be it. Just look at the examples provided above (Navas, A. Young) from other teams and be satisfied with what we have in comparison. Now if come Summer we go for a real starting 11 player for that position we need someone like Bale but that's another discussion.

Cahill ? I don't know tbh. Definitely not good enough for a Pep team, i agree on that.

FA proposes ridiculous changes to home grown player regulations

You are harsh imo. I'm not trying to say he is technical, but he is not terrible.

I feel confident about this. Normally Stoke shouldn't cause us many problems at home. But then again the same i said about Hull. Unless we shoot ourselves in the foot again multiple times, like we've been doing lately, we're going to win it convincingly.

Yes but tbf what did you expect to say about his player? That he is a cunt? I justify the manager's comments just like I justify Jose's comments. It's the FA's and media's objectiveness that must be judged.

I wonder can Azpi make him look better? Or not?

If Matic is average, the team (and most importantly the defence) becomes average. I felt so much safer when Zouma came on. The previous time we experienced it with Ramires. We need Mikel back to give this guy some breathing space to recover.

Yeah, something like Haz - Will - Remy would be interesting. And he could be a good target for Cesc also.
