The depths of being the 4th best team in the league?

Yeah. That is exactly what I meant.

Some muppets may have thought I was referring to our league form since February.

Well they are a bogey team, but only in the sense of resembling something I found in my handkerchief.

Arsenal have lost only one out of the last 10 meetings between the two sides, winning seven matches in the process.

Best kind of bogey teams tbh.

On current form I think we're going to get absolutely battered by Sp*rs and Chelsea, it's really sad that we're literally going into both of these games with pretty much no chance of getting anything.

This don't really feel confident playing Chavs and Spuds away we could get battered by both tbh.

We'll win nothing this year and may even struggle to snatch 4th place, all in all an average season which we can only hope will be *******s last!

Who said we will ain anything no one everyone knows where we are,

Our next 3 games are all at home albeit in 3 different competitions.

Shrewsbury, Bolton and Olympiaikos

Probably win all 3 and Wenger will say we are back.

Then we have Spuds away and we'll lose heavily there.

That qualifies as a MOC post these days.

And on we go to the next 6

H - WBA
A - NORWICH
H - FULHAM
A - WIGAN
H - EVERTON
A - CITEH

18 points up for grabs, think we'll get 12 or 13 points? What say you?

better win all the first 5, and a draw with citeh ideally. but i will take 12/13 points happily

We won't have an kinder run of fixtures to haul ourselves back into the CL mix.

As usual though, it's probably more realistic to expect a mixed bag of results.

Norwich away is after the international break, so I'm not expecting a particularly fluid performance there.

15 points is doable, 11-13 points is most likely - anything less than 11 will be a major setback.

Potentially great timing for the game against the gypos. Just spent the last month doing what I thought this team wasn't capable of. Can they now put away the weaker sides without fucking up? If yes we go into the gypsy camp with confidence sky high and we have a chance. Please don't let us revert to old ways in the meantime. It's great to see the team brimming with confidence but it can be lost so easily. Just no silly mistakes. Everyone has to keep their concentration. No passengers required. And we've been bloody unlucky with the injuries so far, maybe we're due a change there? When's Jack and Sagna back?

Both late Jan/ Early Feb.

Diaby should be back in a month or so. And with song not going to the ACON in Jan our midfield won't miss him. unless he gets injured

We have the capability to take max points from all of those games but whether we do it or not is another matter.
Our performance yesterday would have made Citeh sit up and take notice andd that of course will,be a big game, TBH I would hope we had at least 12 points by then. . However I think Wigan is also a test, I remember last year snd I also remember Blackburn this!

Wigan are a truely awful team but it is the awful ones we tend to fuck up against. . .when we start to brush those kind of teams aside, not make life difficult for ourselves then I can say we are turning the corner

Despite, Arsenal's awful start, The Gunners have EXACTLY the same number of points now (16), as from the equivalent fixtures last season.

If we win against WBA, we would've won four in a row - something we didn't manage last season in the league.

It was mainly embarrassing in the last third with the occasional embarrassing cameo scattered within the earlier parts. I am hoping we have turned the corner, I expect setbacks, but I think we are moving in a better direction - just not sure it is the right one if we are to become contenders again.
