We need to get 12 out of 12 before Arsenal and hope Arsenal lose at Eastlands.

Ozil not playing well they said, drops another 2 assists. As much as any Chelsea AM got in the league this entire season

I am seriously worried about Arsenal, as much as I hate to admit it.... The Villa game aside, they have been really convincing..in CL too.

Ozil is the best midfielder in the league by far.

Not even the assists, but the way he is able to control the game when it is needed. He makes it look so easy.

Love Mata, but I think even he would agree in private.

No shame in being behind probably the greatest attacking mid in the world.

I got no doubts we are able to beat Arsenal twice, cos they fit us. They make the game, we score the goals. Hopefully they don't have more than 6 points on us then.

Don't be. They have almost zero rotation. They will drop a lot of points in December when their star players start burning out.

Fuck me i never knew Newcastle have creep-ed right up, that's shows how much attention i actually pay to the table at this stage of the season.

Yep they have been quietly going about there business. It's so tight this year I only see arse having the chance to break free unfortunatly.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Jol must be getting sacked in the morning too. No way he keeps his job after that display today.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Early days but be surprised if Arsenal dont win the league or come close to it then other seasons.Their downfall before has been dropping silly points which is exactly at the moment what they're not doing this season.Their crap players arent that crap anymore.Hope will change lol but guess their crappyness had to finish at some point..booo!

[edetarod 2,155]

really depressing finding out the Arsenal result today

i'm clinging on to the hope that they usually start falling in februari, but tbh i don't see it this season

I would not be so sure to see the goons burning out. Chelsea have very little rotation too. What about them ? We already seen one tired team in Swiss.

I don't actually mind Le Arse being at the top - usually it was Utd, now it's Arse...

What do they have in common?

Longegivity in Managers... Arse is now the longest serving manager - and have a way of playing football that is ingrained into the club...

Yes Ozil has helped - no denying...

BUT keeping faith in a manager has paid dividends. We all know they will bottle the cups and ultimately finish 4th - but if we kept the same manager for more than 2 years - WHAT COULD WE ACHIEVE?

Some of you already moaning about Mou? Seriously? I love this minute by minute support...

Arsenal have been playing with one starting eleven, except flamini or arteta switching. That is why they have blended so well. They are the only top team with perfect understanding among themselves and team chemistry. Mancity is close because they too have a recognized starting 11(i dont understand their away day blues though)

When we get our settled starting 11(im hoping by January latest) we should hit top gear with perfect team understanding and knock arsenal off the top. Luckily for us, we are still in touching distance while playing at 40%

I don't know why it's taking so long for Mourinho to settle on his starting XI...

All this chop and change in terms of attacking midfielders ruins team chemistry and creates poor performances...
