What they've done is amazing, but, if we got EL and they got UCL the places would have swapped. They've had no injuries, fully rotated the squad in the EL due to easy opponents. You can clearly see everyone in the champions league is struggling, even City. Maybe they will keep on the entire season but I'd be very surprised.

I reckon it will go to the end between them and city. Who knows how it will end up but we will be fighting for 4th unless we sign some quality jan

Not played any real team in form yet away from home, and sadly I can’t see much changing in the second half of the season. Top teams are burnt out and arsenal haven’t had an injury but also have confidence and a playing style to match

We must beat them at home and hope City win both games against them

No.
We're not even half way!
If they did exactly the same again in the next 13 games there would still be 10 games to go!
Its a marathon.
You win nothing being 1st in November.
They're doing well, confidence is high thanks to their easy start but ths WC break will not help them and imo they do not have the squad to go the distance.
A lot of football to be played yet. A lot.
Really hope youre right, pal

They've got Newcastle, us and Man United in January, so let's see how they look after those games.
Also, that prat DT is back out of prison and is saying he is a changed man for the 100th time. That probably means Arsenal will capitulate and he'll go on another violent outburst.

They are getting the rub if the green on decision currently. How that isn’t a penalty is beyond me. City shoukd have had at least one penalty yesterday too.

Reports in Brazil that Gabriel Jesus needs surgery to his knee and will be out 3+ months.

News are yet to be confirmed but the Arsenal fans are getting worried about a start of the new year with Nketiah leading the line.

They’ve been very lucky with injuries so far with 8 players starting every game (and Odeegard missing one game). In comparison, Kane is the only outfield players for us to have started every time for us.

They still have Martinelli, which for me, annoyingly, will be the most vital player for them this season. He can score and provide for whoever is upfront for them. But if there's anything like an injury to any of their main players to rock their boat, I'll take it.

They've been extremely lucky with injuries. This was going to happen at some point. Let's see how they deal with it.

Went out last night with a mate who’s goon season ticket holder. His view is that Jesus makes the team tick with his running and closing down, creating space for others. In his opinion this is an enormous loss.

At the very least it should disrupt their rhythm. Let’s hope he’s right

They still have their defensive solidity without Jesus. But will be harder for them to control games I guess. Perfect timing as they have some tricky games in Dec and Jan
