That's one hell of a tough day for Arsenal!!

Don't think you need to brake it down like that but there is plenty of footbal to be played.

If we are within 10 points by the turn of the year we're in with a shout. Especially with our run in.

Agreed. 10 points behind come January 1st and we've got a chance. Any less and we'll have a good chance.

It's very unlikely of course, but no way have I written us off yet.

Hold on lads. Have you seen the way we approach and play games away from home? We're negative and afraid to lose, and it starts with Rafa for me. He has to send them out with the intent to attack and dominate. Until we do we'll not challenge. Simple.

Also I just don't think the squad's still strong enough to compete over 10 months. At some point we're going to have to rely on Zenden, Bellamy and Pennant. Not good.

**** me pink, that's optimistic.

We won 10 away games last season and played some great stuff. No reason why we can't do it again IMO.

Don't disagree, but right now we're rubbish away from home.

I think it's all down to confidence personally. I think Rafa has to have more confidence in his players to be able to dominate.

It would help if we could avoid bringing in the ****e squad players at some point. But Rafa does like his rotation. I have no problem with rotation if you are replacing quality with quality, but we can't do that with our current squad.

Spot on. Attitudes have to change, random rotation, and acquisition of mediocre players has to stop, and at least one more consistent goalscoring striker needs to come in before we'll challenge for the title. Plus at least one winger will have to stay fit and produce consistently over a prolonged period. If we're still forced to sign the likes of Pennant, Bellamy, Zenden and Fowler, we'll struggle.

One game at a time, we need to get a run going and worry about other teams later.
