I know people were getting carried away after Chelsea, but the reality is we are an average team.
The fact Poch is playing kids in centre midfield was evident today. We were out fought by an average Palace team. Then once we get ahead Stambouli gives away a ridiculous pen. I mean it was stupid enough when he got booked on the halfway line hacking a player down, but the man must be brain dead to be diving in recklessly in the box.
These last couple of years of total mismanagement from Levy and Baldini have set us back massively. Thankfully, Poch is the man to address this and is bringing on the young lads nicely. However, it's a long road ahead. We have no chance of top 4, shouldn't even be considered. Our current team is no better than Southampton or West Ham.
This season is about patience and improving the youngsters. I hope today has brought everyone back down to earth!
This is where we are

Everywhere you go always take Lamela with you. Mopo's #1 fan.
Sandy-are we better than average
Yes were are a lot better than average, and Arsenal and United are certainly not that better, if they are indeed better. You have to remember Spurs have already played 10 more games than United this season and are involved in two more competitions, and Arsenal are still behind Spurs in the league, and neither have actually beaten Spurs this season, so to say Spurs are miles behind both those teams is way off the mark.

You do realise this is Arsenal's worst start to a season in 30 years and man utd who are transition are right back up there after 1 bad season. Liverpool at their best challenge for the title.You are where you are because Arsenal and Liverpool have been poor

Not that old chestnut again. The season is halfway through, so it is nowhere near their worse start.
man utd who are transition
They have spent a quarter of a billion pounds, and are just 2 points in front of Spurs and in two less competitions. Utter nonsense to say they are in transition.

Hardly nonsense. Spurs only seem to call a season good the moment they see Arsenal struggle or temporarily above us. We always finish above you and are still not happy with our clubs ambition. Like I said before, you are only where you are because Arsenal and Liverpool are having a poor season.

Chatterer
arsenal have not been anywhere the top of the tree for near on a decade now, so they are not having a poor season, they are around about where they have been for years now. Liverpool have finished behind Spurs for four of the last five seasons, so they are about where they have been for a number of years as well. A one oFf season challenging for the top spot last year does not make them perennial title challengers, when they have not won a title for 25 plus years.
Whether you like it or not Arsenal, Liverpool and SpuraS are all at the same level now.

Chatterer, not sure where you going with your username but you sure chatterer a load of s hit!! If were going by your logic of Arsenal finishing above us every season (which is true) then why bring liverpool into the debate? apart from last season we have p issed over liverpool in the last 4/5 seasons finishing above them comfortably every single time so you bulls hit about how you and Liverpool are having bad seasons holds no ground whatsoever. You have spent over 30 million on Sanchez who supposedly was meant to make you challenge for the title and you are still in a battle for top 4 with us once again. You are always in a battle with us for 4th because your no better. As usual you will scrape 4th place on the last day of the season like you have on so many occasions. Wake up and smell the coffee you deluded tw at!!! You battle with us for 4th every season

I wouldn't say we're an average team, but we are extremely dependent on Kane and Lloris. Kane's performances have lifted us a lot since he came into the first team. He is the only outfield player who you can say has been consistent almost all the way through.
Get some more bloody quality in the side. Sign Berahino up.
