Probably because Marina, Cech, and Buck left, also we wanted to get rid Lukaku first.

He also wanted the reassurance of being a guaranteed starter, which is something we couldn't give him.

Spurs at least look horrible to watch. 

But not sure if that's saying much. During our title win under Conte we've also ground out lackluster 1-0 wins along the way, because of Costa's goal threat. This 1-0 win doesn't seem that different.

Arsenal on the other hand seem to be playing well. They've also been given an easy run of fixtures to begin with (unlike last season). The only problem for them is that they will have tougher fixtures when we reach the congested parts of the season. Will be interesting to see how they cope.

Top four is going to be hard earned for all if Arsenal and Spurs keep playing the way they are. I hope this is a false dawn.

It's interesting how when it's come to media/pundit predictions not many have placed us 4th...hopefully turn out wrong but majority have us us 5th.

Arsenal obviously will change but compared to last year look decent so far! Sense of direction and all

Why on earth couldn’t we guarantee that ? Literally don’t have a striker

I think that has a lot to do with the change of ownership and our transfer window was a mess at the beginning. If our players and staff are focused, we should be in the race for at least 2nd. This World Cup mid season is going to have an effect on someone. No idea who in the top six get injuries and a changed season, but it will take someone down.

We have Broja & Havertz, with the latter needing to play upfront to be of any use.

Who do Arsenal have, Nketiah?

2nd?!?!  How?! Not sure about that way we've started. Gotta score to be high 

True. And they've made decent signings where ours..hmmm.

Guess time will tell but if they keep playing way they have and scoring well...crap times for us
