Match Reaction v Man City

[Cripps_orig]

He might splash the cash if we are struggling to get top 4.

I say might cos whilst he has done so in 06 and 09, he didnt last year and we scraped in to the CL thanks to that WBA keeper

There have been seasons in the recent past where we've done well early on, looked like we could win a trophy and then end terribly from February onwards when the pressure starts to build. So I'm not getting too confident that we can finally do something special this season. The problem we've had in recent seasons has been a lack of squad depth, so it will be interesting to see how we cope when/if Cazorla, Podolski, Arteta etc are injured for any period of time. It looks like we have a stronger squad this year tbf, but we need to see evidence that we have the quality to maintain a high level throughout the season, rather than for the first few months.

This is fair comment. While I am happy with the result and the overall performances so far, Wenger needs to have a squad deliver over the course of an entire season for us to know if anything has fundamentally changed.

Yes, we'll find out more over the next 33 games.

That is vision of little bit super quality.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

also whats the point of theo walcott? today he came on and just did fuck all. would have play gervinho then theo

Spot on, he was shocking when he came on. Yet he thinks he should get 100K a week

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Strengthen in January- is that a wind up? Wenger doesnt do much in the transfer window even when we're shit,so hes hardly gonna splash any of the director's hard-earned money(as they say on Dragons Den) if we are doing vaguely well.

You mean like Signing Carzola, Podi and the frenchman. How do you know he won't buy in Jan just cause he has not in the past.

Just cause you don't want to be optimistic about the team don't mean the rest of us should not.

Think this is a very good result today all in all, hopefully we can maintain this form and strenghten in January to give ourselve a chance later in the season.

Spot on.

um Cazorla, Pod and Giroud were bought this summer, not January

[Olivier's xmas twist]

um Cazorla, Pod and Giroud were bought this summer, not January

never said they were.

[Cripps_orig]

never said they were.

So why mention them when talking about transfers in january?

[Dennis Bendtner]

Gervinho finding new ways to confuse. I don't think it ricochets and it doesn't look like he actually kicks the ball very hard, so wtf actually happened?

Progress I suppose. It's a shot on target.
