    As an Arsenal fan, pretty cut to see Fabregas at Chelsea. We were never gonna be able to fit him into the team when we have so many mids. Wenger made the right decision and I can't blame Fabregas for taking the best offer, London club or not. Never heard of Herrera tbh so can't comment. Man Utd...

    That was just a disgraceful performance. Everton destroyed us and it was incredibly painful to watch. For me, Ramsey and Ox were by far our best players and they only played 25 minutes! Sure the game's result was decided but they were still the only two really looking to score. Ramsey was...

    This is how I've looked at it since we advanced to the Semi-Finals. If we finish Top 4 again and win the FA Cup, that's a successful season. We may have come closer to the title than we have in some time, but being firmly entrenched in the Top 4 for the entire season rather than just sneaking in...

    Just signing multiple top players, against the manager's request, and saying "Here's talent, go win shit" isn't the way to go. It just doesn't work. All manager's have their vision and how they want the team to play and just because a player is talented doesn't mean he'll fit in perfectly. AVB...

    AVB had nothing to do with the signings. It was all Daniel Levy and his technical director, Franco Baldini. From what I've read in the past, AVB didn't want Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli, Vlad Chiriches and Christian Eriksen, instead asking for Hulk, Joao Moutinho and David Villa. He did want...

    In the two Away games against Liverpool and Man City, we've conceded 11 goals. In the other 23 games, we've conceded 15 goals. Two disgraceful defensive showings mean our defense is terrible? Clearly the other 23 games mean nothing.

    I wonder how it ever came to this. Players go down softly all the time and it's so painful to watch referees fall for it over and over. Nothing ever gets done and it's something that's well entrenched in the game and is never gonna leave. I know countless people in my country who bash the game...

    He tugged the shoulder, Suarez did make the most of it like most players would, and the fact is it's a penalty and therefore red card for being a goalscoring opportunity. Tough but right.

    Actually I think our much improved style of play came before we got Ozil. Since the Villa loss, we went on to beat Fenerbahce 3-0, Fulham 3-1, Fenerbahce 2-0 and Tottenham 1-0. The following game was the Sunderland one, which is when Ozil debuted, and he has slotted in seamlessly. He hasn't been...

    As well as Ozil has played for us so far, I don't think he has played as well as people are saying. Apart from most of the Sunderland game, I personally don't think he has dominated anybody. It has all been a combined effort from every single player, with Ozil getting most of the assists and...

    I thought the same thing. That first 20 was just brilliant and was awesome to watch. Things are looking pretty good qualification wise. I don't expect us to pinch all six points from Dortmund in the next two games, but a realistic aim would definitely be a Home win and an Away draw. It'd...

    I've thought the same thing. As great as it is to see us sitting on top for the second week in a row, it's only 6 games into the season. We're due for a down period or two and you just never know how badly it could affect our performances and more importantly our results.
