Early days but Arsenal looking good

Liverpool were robbed of a penalty and Arsenal were voted one to.

Could have been a lot different with other officials in charge.

The 2 penalties cálls are 50-50 calls and Arsenal got the benefit of being at home.

Such decisions have been made by many refs around the country before.

I’ve seen more scandalous decisions this season and the handball goal given against Fulham was joke

Arsenal look really good, I don't know why a lot of people on here assume City will win the league.

I don`t. But I expect over a 38 game season, Spurs to mount a bigger challenge than Arsenal. You don`t win leagues in early October. Arsenal don`t have a good enough squad over 38 games, and they still have to go to all the big teams away, where they usually lose. They were gifted the game against Spurs, and they played a poor Liverpool side yesterday, who cannot beat anyone this season.

I would not get overly excited about Arsenal just yet.

I wouldn't get overly excited about Spurs either!

Very hard to get excited watching Spurs, cannot see them keeping up. They can grind out some wins but the lack of ambition will catch up with them sooner or later. Son seems a shadow of his former self and Kane isn't getting any younger.

Gutted that our game against Arsenal is postponed, the PL are entirely to blame for that one

Watched their CL game and the game against Brighton. Was not entertained. Conte's style is tedious. Can't see them winning a trophy playing like that.

They won't threaten in the league but Conte should accept that and go all out to win one of the cups, they may have a chance if they fall into the Ropey League, Conte's 'bore them to death' style may suit that competition. Their last 3 games since the international break they have scored 2 and conceded 3. Arsenal scored 9 conceded 3 and City scored 15 conceding 3 ( 2 when the game was won). Arsenal may or may not lack the depth for the long haul but top 4 is certainly possible.

The Spurs arguments would make sense if they had a good defense and keeper but they are average in that department and awful in midfield.

Sandy can only say they beat City because thats all he can hold onto when Conte plays his low block but that was pre Haaland. Play that low block nonsense and we will smash them home or away.

They are actually fortunate the game was postponed as it would be Conte out
