Are Arsenal slipping?

[prawnsandwich]

They have an easy-ish run of fixtures coming up and Walcott is due back soon.
Would be nice if Hull could get something on Saturday but probably it will be December before we are above them solidly in the EPL.

Very interesting injury stat that in the five seasons previous to this one, clubs like ourselves, United, City and Liverpool suffered 30-35 long term injuries, 3+ months. Chelsea had only 17. Arsenal had 52.

No doubt that this a huge problem for them, but it amazes me that some Goons are saying that this is a result of people kicking them to death because of their technical style. I don't buy that for a second.

MOTD showed that every time an Arsenal player released the ball the closest Chelsea player "tapped his ankle."
I am not exactly weeping about this though.

I hate adverts more than almost anything. What baffles me though is why Wenger, a man who must regard himself with a certain dignity and esteem, and who has accrued a fortune so vast his great grandchildren could still be living off the interest, would stoop so low as to agree to do this pathetic advert..

What I was thinking too.. looks like they just sighed and chose the least worst take..

Blew a 3-0 lead. Welbeck fails to score again. Swansea away next.

If Arsenal ever do properly slip make no mistake we will slip harder.

Yep, I love it. My favourite fan is that guy in the vid I posted, Claude, the white guy. He's so disillusioned right now.

Spoken like a true Yid.

In fighting on the terraces? Lovely.

 

[SpursManChris]

Classic.

you mean because the players just ignore them and the gooners are desperately shouting "hello"? Pretty funny.

SO true though. We are so programmed to finish behind them that if they finished 19th we would finish bottom.
