Us, Spurs, Utd, Arsenal, Leicester all have 8 points. What a fight this is going to be for CL place. At the beginning of the season I didn't believe we could do it but now I'm very optimistic.

What has Emery actually done to improve Arsenal? 

[Vesper 29,169]

what a gutless team Arse is

they have nothing but those 2 strikers

Pepe looks a big meh so far

We should've had more points at this point and United, Arsenal less.

Part of me hopes they sneak top 4 alongside us so they don't sack Emery.

They will never get back close to the top with him incharge.

What a comeback win that would have been. Watford turned prime Barca in that half.

The NBCSN presenters just said exactly that

Arse got dragged about in the 2nd half like they were playing Barca, roflmaooooooooooooo

[Vesper 29,169]

they are SHREDDING them, never seen them so negative on a team's performance

Got them to an EL final [emoji6]

96 SHOTS!

[Vesper 29,169]

I would SO swap Willian for Gerard Deulofeu straight up

such a better all-round player and what a motor, he ran non stop for the whole 90 minutes

Willie nowadays gets knackered after 4 or 5 deep runs

I used to watch sometimes Barcelona youth and the spanish U national teams and potential wise, he was a monster. Never knew why he did not make it there or never got a fair chance

Pepe should have waited one year and then went to us when we could buy him.

By contrast, despite our defensive horror shows, we've conceded only 48 shots (problem for us is we're giving away too many clear opportunities but that's another debate).
