I still think we still need a striker and a pacey winger....
In the game we lacked pace and killer instinct. Giroud is getting stick only by us Gooners. The media have been saying nice things about him but he is burning out. The weight of expectation is getting to him. The guy can score but needs a break and most of all competition.
Podolski looked good when he came on and almost scored a cracker...but we lacked what Walcott gave us.
I am Bit worried that we will drop needless points due to this. I hope Wenger gets someone in. A fast winger IMO is more important then a striker as we can score goals but need a player to make space for our forwards by using his pace like Theo did to...
if Theo was fit I reckon we will be fighting still in May. His contribution to the team on and off the ball was brilliant.
lets hope we get experience players in this month......
we won, we are on top...but

Totally agree, there are a few contenders but truth be told I can't see passed City once the real business end plays out.
They just have the complete SQUAD in every single position. No weak points, they have Defenders, fullbacks, Midfield steel and FORWARDS that the other so called challengers don't have.
City will continue to rack up the points and win till its all over. The goal ratio is there for all to see.

City are without doubt the team to beat. Their defence is not as good as ours and neither is their midfield but my god their strike force is the best in the business! Just hoping they will slip up at some point!

Their full backs are better along with Yaya toure, Joe Hart is better then your keeper and they have a bench stretching 10 deep. They are better in every position bar I'd say half a midfield. But who needs a midfield when Toure calls the shots.

Debatable!

Come on, it's not debatable. Most neutrals will tell you what I've just stated. Full backs running left and right, toure colossal general in midfield and strikers of the calibre of their team there's only one team winning.
City are better in most positions then Arsenal and Chelsea.

Really? I must have missed something then because we have been top all season! They are only better in the striker department but I do agree they have incredible depth. They could put out two teams that would destroy most other teams in the prem!

Your competing credit to you guys, but I'm still not convinced you and Chelsea can keep it up. When the games come thick and fast I can only see one team pulling away. But till then credit to Arsenal and Chelsea for still being in the mix.
I'd expect City to pull clear by April, by some distance I might add. But with half a Billion spent over the last 5 years Id expect that outcome.

I know what you are saying bossman and this is why I am hoping they they slip up!
If we win, which I don't expect, we will have done extremely well.
Can you imagine the city strikers in the arsenal team? I think we would be clearing up everything this season! Sorry i am dreaming!

You hope they slip up?? I don't see them slipping up, simply because they have players that have gone the distance in a title race. They know how to win and in the new manager a man that demands winning. Forget that fraud Mancini, City have a proper manager now for this league as well as in the Champions League.

City will drop a lot of points. They will lose against Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton, draw against Chelsea, Spurs and United. That will cost them the title. So the title is between Arsenal and Chelsea.
