Man United fans are deluded if they think they will win the league. But so too are Arsenal fans unless we make the 3 signings we needed during the summer. But you'd need to be even more deluded to think Wenger will sign anyone. Throwing away another chance at the league by his stubbornness. Too much loyalty to injured / poor players. Arteta shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team let alone captain.

I disagree if United and Arsenal are deluded that leaves Man City and they showed yesterday they are far from perfect.

The first team to find form and go on a run after Xmas will win the league. As **** as we were yesterday we are definately capable and are second favourites.

Doubt he even had his scan yet

But looking at it yesterday and knowing it's his knee it could be bad

If Coquelin is out for any period of time then we can forget about a title challenge. United looking good at the moment and they haven't really started playing well. Realistically it should be City but they're so inconsistent. At the moment it's all to play for but Arsenal can't afford too many days like yesterday. Didn't play very well against Spurs either. Big performance needed against Norwich at the weekend.

Alfred Borden · 22-11-2015 04:00PM

We wont be seeing Coquelin until the end of Feb/start of March so.

I agree without Coquelin in the team were boned. Won't lie didn't see the game yesterday and couldn't bring myself to watch motd. Disaster of a weekend for Arsenal really need to start performing soon well more importantly get players back and keep them fit.

As for United everyone keeps saying they haven't started playing well yet I think that's just there style under Van Gaal it's not going to change hard to beat boring to watch lots of low scoring games George Graham done well out of it I just hope Van Gaal doesn't

We won't win anything with Flamini/Arteta at DM. It's a complete disaster but entirely predictable and preventable by buying a proper back up during the summer.

Ah fcuk. And there were some who said during the window we didn't need to sign a DM.

Madness imo. An improvement on Arteta/Flamini wasnt an unrealistic aim and should have been taken care off in June of last year whilst not offering Arteta a new deal.

If we are not careful, we could end up in a fight for top fpur this season. Spurs and Liverpool are going well and with ourselves, United and City, thats 5 teams for 4 spots.

jonneymendoza · 22-11-2015 04:39PM

Did someone tackle him badly or something??

emergingstar · 22-11-2015 05:08PM

We might see Ramsey pushed back into the middle with Cazorla playing deeper

Soups123 · 22-11-2015 05:13PM

Not starting or suggesting a debate on Wenger but even the staunch Arsene fans have got to admit he took a huge gamble with no signing and it's came back to bite, any other job you'd be expected to answer to someone

Then the opportunity to address it (January) and you'd be expected to try sort it, chances of it happening here.....slim!

I'm more concerned about teams behind us than those ahead. Spurs now just 2 points behind, Liverpool a couple of matches behind us with a handy run coming up. They've 8 games before playing us and a decent run could easily make it a match for league position.
Bleh, gonna win the league etc.

Seeing on twitter from Wayne Vesey that he is out for season. Not sure how reliable he is but it would be bloody typical

emergingstar · 22-11-2015 05:29PM

We just need to get to January

And hope he doesn't sign kalstrom then

Been an arsenal fan is rarely fun in fairness

Arsenal with Ramsey starting:

With W9 D1 L2 Win % 75%

Without W2 D1 L5 Win % 25%

Stats

ronjo · 22-11-2015 05:46PM

Not sure if we would have got him but we really screwed up not going for Schneiderlin in the summer.

Nah we didn't need to sign anyone.

Come on, that was never going to happen. Regardless of the wage demands and all that, Coquelin was Arsene's main main. He would have definitely been loyal to him.

No way Schneiderlin would come to Arsenal without a guarantee of playing time right before Euros.

Overly optimistic but a team with genuine title ambitions would take at least 13 from these fixtures.

Don't agree. He could have played both alongside and instead of Coquelin.
Rumour at time was he would have preferred Arsenal and he was the one player I really wanted.
Anyway, not much point in me bringing it up now I guess.
