have Arsenal really been that bad?

Losing to Spurs and Blackburn is always bad

We are now 3 points ahead of LFC.

Yes I see that but then again you did play an extra game. I thought Arsenal were way behind but nice to see a string of good wins (RvP in my fantasy league team )

Ollney in the ES had a pop at him this week, interesting take on the situation there. It makes achange from him slagging us off.

How bad have Liverpool been?
-------------------------------------------

Couldn't muster up a single goal against Norwich at Anfield last week, even with little innocent Suarez and 35M Carroll. That's how bad.

I hope its a draw between Chelsea and Liverpool. Then same games and we're above them. Plus Chelsea would only be a point above us.

At the moment Spurs look like the strongest contenders for top 4 out of Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs, but I can see Spurs slipping away soon.

me too 50p

I would not say Pool have been that bad. I would just say their pre-season hype has been about as unwarranted as Arsenal's pre-season doom and gloom that was thrown on us by the media.

Liverpool do not play at a fast enough tempo. None of the midfielders are getting beyond the forwards, and therefore they are not creating enough space to cut defences open.

Arsenal have played most of the top 6 away from home already (only Man City to go).
We also decided to give everyone a head start by not buying anyone until the last day of the transfer window.
Once things settled down we have been on a good run of wins against lesser sides (and Chelsea).

Liverpool expectations are low and people think they have done well this season while Arsenal expectations are higher and we think we havn't done good enough, even with a poor start we caught them up.

What is your point, you have only actually won at Chelsea, and nullified that result by losing at home to Liverpool, so what is your point.

Arsenal are in a good position for challenging for forth, in fact they are the team that others have to overtake, so I'm not sure why it is such a surprise. That had a bad start due to uncertainty over a few players leaving but they still have the ability to go out and beat smaller clubs. Liverpool are still struggling with that.

We have been dissapointing but bad is only a word you can use when a team gets beat 8-2. Or when a team leads 3 times at Blackburn and yet still get beat.

Arsenal football club will always be in the shadow of LFC

hedley bull,

the point is obvious. We don't have to go away to 5 of the 6 teams at the top of the table, as we have done it already.
Whats hard to understand about that?
