Spurs were favourites today because they more or less have their 1st 11 team out apart from maybe Dawson, While Arsenal had their two best centre back out in Vermaelen and Koscielny, who have been excellent together and had our main midfield out...the one and only Wilshere. Also spurs are in their best of form while Arsenal are in deep $H1T.
Even then we played well and deserved a point. First 45 mins, more or less all Arsenal controlling the game, then VDV decieded to cheat by handballing and took the lead. Then in the second half, the first 15 mins Arsenal were still on top and got the equaliser. From then on Arsenal played with fear and spurs only manage to get one goal out of it.
Anyways need to keep the faith and Arsenal are still the best NL team.

We'll be unstoppable once Jack, Vermalen, Kos and Sagna are back from injury in the winter..

I reckon it's not beyond us to start finding some form. Our confidence has taken some severe hits this season, but I thought we were gingerly recovering some belief in that 2nd half of the Olympiakos game, and that it was unfortunate to be playing Spurs so soon. Reckon the team needs a run of easier games to grow some momentum and let the new players bed in.
But there's 3 things that worry me big time.
1) Our injury crisis. Unreal.
2) Lack of leadership from Wenger. There's a slack attitude from most of the team. Doesn't seem to be any vocal leadership on or off the field.
3) Not being able to find a buyer for Denilson.

"Is it 'we are the best team in NL' because I saw that and you inspired me. Also I have been quite and still had alot of stick, so I want to give my verdit. Anyways tomorrows another day."

I inspire a lot of people on here. Keep following my footsteps pal, you're in the right path
Btw Coquelin is definitely better than Frimpong. I'd like to see Coquelin start ahead of Ramsey against Sunderland.

No you are not the best NL team, tottenham are and we are clearly better than you. You did nothing with your possesion today and just ran into brickwalls like you usually do. We didn't even play that well today and still beat you, We created the much more and better chances which could of resulted in an embarassing loss for you. The north london tide is turning and you gooners can't stand it

Denilson is always tweets good stuff about Arsenal. He may be shiiite, but he's got a big heart.
Am I making you feel all fuzzy inside?

Ramsey should have been dropped and replaced with frimpong. coq, frimpong with arteta pushed foraward would have been great for us
