Pretty sure some fellas will moan if we don't beat City.

Can't dismiss West Ham away as an easy fixture though. Think that one is going to be pretty tricky/tough.

Just wandering, any point with having the league table here when people could just check on other websites?

A draw against City is not entirely disastrous but we certainly cannot lose to them.

I know we are five points ahead of City right now (with a chance to go eight clear in two weeks) but we could really do with not getting carried away just yet. That cushion is vital heading into the game but long way to go still. We have lost an eight-point lead once, we could lose another (albeit five) if we aren't careful.

Fair play to Arsenal. Never thought they could do it but impressive performance all around. Tactically discipline, defensively solid and hardworking without the ball. Cazorla MOTM.

Eating the humble pie right now...

Criticize him strongly? Hardly. Was just stating the obvious issue with Oscar in a broader sense.

Different game and all but if Arsenal can go to Anfield and make an average Liverpool look like Real Madrid, what chance do they have against City at the Etihad?

That's like saying players can just ignore their responsibilities as long as they score. Oh, why do we even bother complaining/discussing about issues with certain players' performance then?

But with Oscar, it tends to happen more often than Hazard and/or Fabregas.

Think we will play most of them. Mourinho likely to rotate more against Bradford next weekend.

For those who claimed only Luis celebrated with Schurrle... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QtyG71b9rQ From 4:06 onwards.

Some of you lots here would seriously be great additions to the tabloid papers in England. Over-analyzing the little incidents in a game and trying to create stories/drama when there's none. Is there a machine that can allow us to merge them together?

That I believe people can see but what can't be comprehended is that, how he be so average at short distance passing? Sometimes, he couldn't even get a five-yard pass to someone right.

He got punched in the face by Matic when celebrating Costa's goal.. https://vine.co/v/Oj6M50Z6wn0

How nice of Swansea to put up the managers' post-match presser..

Is that a serious question?

It is real.

*ahem* Wigan 0-6 Chelsea in 2010...

Arsene Wenger and tactics don't go along together. Even if they have all their players available but it still won't matter if Wenger doesn't drill his players tactically, which has clearly been the case for ages now. Put someone like Mourinho in charge of that team, the results would be entirely more positive.
