Was surprised to hear Chelsea losing.

We just scraped through to get the 3 points today, another ugly win. These kind of wins are vital in deciding the title race.

Vito Mannone was brilliant today, absolutely fantastic. His saves from Zamora, Dempsey and A.Johnson(twice) were out of this world. Hope Arsene keeps him, as frankly i've had enough of Almunia

you really think Arsenal stands a chance this year?

Not really no. But i am encouraged by the decent start the team has made, and i am optimistically waiting for Nasri and Walcott to come back from their respective injuries, and Rosicky to come back to full fitness.

In terms of attacking talent we have the quality and the depth. But we still do not have a quality ball winner in midfield nor do we have decent cover for our centerbacks.

So in a nutshell, we need Song to stay fit for the whole season and continue his early season form, and we need Gallas and Vermaelen to do the same. Then maybe just maybe, we will be thereabouts come the end of the season.

i think Arsenal(Wenger) are more interested in winning CL, as its still missing for both club and coach, like you said you guys just dont have the depth for an EPL winning campaign

We don't have the depth at all. All we can do is hope we get incredibly lucky with injuries.

The CL would be sweet, but we'd need the draw to do us some favors like it did last year.

Czech was red carded today.
It was an awful call by the ref as the wigan player hit a dive !
actually look again and it was a clear penalty, Cech raises his foot up to catch him once he realised he was going past him, was a very good call

Anyone saw the Spurs game? How'd Kranjcar do?
tbh didn't see much of him, but they had a thumping win so i am gonna stick my neck out and say he wasn't terrible

after seeing it once, I though it was a soft PK, but after the replay, I'd have to agree with Boz. didn't see the full match, but it sounds like Wigan were excellent. A little worried about the backlash when Liverpool play Chelsea next week though
