Do you think we are competing this year? Will we be there or thereabouts come in the final few weeks? Honest answer.

You need natural width for that and every single one of our attacking players wants be central. It doesn't matter how we set up, the squad we have is badly unbalanced. As well as the manager leaving - which he won't - we need to get in the right players in the right positions. At least 3/4 need to be shipped out of that starting eleven to see real improvement.
Another question for you. I'm watching the gypos and they are going to win etc, etc. But I am also hungry. But I just checked the fridge and the cupboard and there's fuck all in there except spaghetti. I'm starting to notice a strange correlation between a lack of food and the missus being at her mothers, probably a coincidence. Regardless, should I carry on watching the inevitable gypo win or should I make spaghetti with fuck all on it. There's custard. Does that work?

I thought today, ironically could have done with Ozil. The Ox was very frustrating before we went one up and I thought Coquelin still looks superb.
Thing about Walcott is you always sense he needs a few games to get into the swing of things, so when Wenger benches him, then randomly starts him, you're never really going to see the best of him straight away. I think RvP used to need several games to get into it a bit.
Cech had a cigar on and I'm happy for that to be commonplace. Our full backs are superb though I felt in games like this they should overlap the wide forwards even more.
Ironically? We can't play without him.
Defence wasn't tested today. When we have been we've looked poor right across the back. When Bellerin and Monreal are in the comfort zone and can press up the field then they look good. When they are under pressure, not so good. Monreal a lot better than Bellerin defensively. I think the irony lies in the fact Monreal is slowly becoming our best defender. Bellerin has a long way to go and I think he's a midfielder rather than a defender. Bit like Gibbs.

Do you mean 'are' as in 'are right now'? Or do you mean 'will be'? If you mean 'right now' then we are if Chelsea are.
If you mean 'will be', who knows? It's 4 games in. So far it's been a mixed bag, results wise, but City aside no-one is sweeping all before them - and you know what City are like, they can get a bad result, start to sulk and go into freefall for a bit. Last season we lost it in the first 12 games, we cannot do that this year but right now after 4 games despite some ropey performances we're not out of it. Nor is anyone really after 4 games but realistically you cannot win 4 of your first 12 games, as we did last year, and expect to win the title. P4 W2 D1 L1 is neither stellar nor a disaster.
The lack of goals is the biggest worry. We've clearly been trying to address it but haven't been able to recruit our targets. There's time left, but it's a worry because I don't think we'll find internal solution.

"Who knows?" Surely you can't be serious? The point is - we do know. We have a decade to use as a measure and we also have a decade of the chavs to consider. Yes they have started badly but are you seriously telling me you don't know whether they will be competing for the title? If that's what you are saying then it's just wilful ignorance. Same applies when predicting what we'll do. We know. We can delude ourselves if we want but it won't change a thing.
How many seasons are you going to need before you can spot the blatant pattern?
