Fair enough. Still we need to turn some of these draws into wins if we want to win anything.Would you have bet your house on Arsenal beating Boro at home?

Yes but the genius of Ozil, Sanchez and Cazorla just makes our woeful Lamela look second rate apparently
Is the ref related to you @MichaelPawson ?
Why does going top at this point in the season matter to some people?
maybe they are prone to premature celebration ejaculation?
The truth is, it doesn't matter - it means feck all.
I'm nearly sure United were double digits away from top spot far later in the season, once, but still went on to win the title. And I am also sure that the club who were top at this stage in the season last year didn't go on to win the title.
We didn't lose against a side good at home and off the back of scoring 6 in their last game. We're still unbeaten, we're still 3rd, get over it and move onto the next game.
And GKN, we could've used speed against them. Especially that chance lamela had where eriksen played him through and he ran as hard as he could to goal but ended up losing the ball.Again, Winks is being criminally underused.
Agreed look at the balls he puts into Ali, that needed to sound slightly less like it did but shows how much he looks to set the attackI think we are closer to our best when Toby is playing, not because he is a superman but because he brings a momentum to our game, when he wins the ball or collects a loose ball out of the opponents half he is already looking to start the attack again which he is good enough to do, and I think further up the field they are prepared for it.
It doesn't make us a one man team and he is not a match winner but it ups the odds in our favour enough to make the difference.

........ I refer to what I said last week after the game against West Brom...
No excuses, we should be beating teams like these.
No point beating ManC to give yourself a great chance then fuck up completely against lowly minnows. Another pathetic and disappointing same old Spurs result...
I don't care what they get up to I. Merely suggest a little perspective there are no easy games.Not really, I don't give a monkeys what they get up to.
I care what we get up to and shouldn't be relying on other results going our way for a bit of perspective.
The fact is, We did a brilliant job against ManC, then fucked up the two following results to completely waste what that great result was.
Today, was a pathetic result, there is not other perspective. If it wasn't for the same old Spurs, we could be sitting 4 points clear at the top of the table.
To be fair Ozil and Sanchez in our team today we probably win. These 2 are levels above anybody we have offensively... Sadly
Probably all 3 are regarded by the generic fan as superior to ours also sadly. Those 3 aside and Zxaka we are superior in all other areas. Gladly..
Our offensive midfield options are exactly where we need improvement.
Now that I've calmed down, here are my comments-
For this game, I think we needed a player like ..
1) a striker that could score from distance (Kane)
2) a speedy winger to stretch the already tired legs of the opposing defenders (GKN)
3) an intelligent player that could open up the opposing defence (like Isco) as we seemed bereft of ideas.
Bournemouth deserved a point because Howe is a very good manager who had studied our style of play and used the same tactics against us as we had used against City - the high press.
Dele and Christian are their equal on their day. In fact having watched both games they were better today.
It really makes me feel dirty saying Arsenal players are better but I have to tell the truth.
Ozil and Sanchez really are levels above Eriksen All and Lamela. Not just a level... Plural...Levels above. They would both walk into our team instantly. On their day? Basically you mean when Alli and Eriksen play out of their skin when Ozil and Sanchez have a bad game, yeh maybe but that is once in a blue moon. Those 2 are genuine world class talent, sadly they play for Arsenal.
