Just a point about Arsenal, we've started the same as last season in that we're unbeaten with 20 points from 8 games but last season it was champagne football all the way, with an admiring media saying that it was some of the best football ever played in England.

This season except for a game up in Boro, we haven't come close to those dizzy heights & yet in reality we're better off, we've already got the 2 toughest away games of the season out of the way without losing whilst none of the other main contenders have played one another yet.

Is this new uglier version of Arsenal actually a better bet for the title?

The squad's smaller, the media is against us, money is tight & the new Stadium is a distraction, will all these points bring out the famous Arsenal spirit & never say die attitude & after last season is the attitude let's win, ugly or beautiful it doesn't matter, just win.

Very happy to get old traff and Anfield out of the way early. 4 points out of the 6 on offer could never be knocked back, very handy.

I know they are not playing well, but if you include Newcastle its 7 out of 10.

Big test against Chelski at home in a couple of weeks.

Do you think we will win?

Yes, even without your namesake we'll keep our hold over them.

Dips, I've been syaing that to my Chelski mate for the last couple of weeks.. Constantly getting bombarded with emails about when Arsenal do something wrong and how Chelsea will be top of the table when they beat Brum.

It was joy to remind him, we're still unbeaten, we've gone to OT and Anfield and the only reason that they have a better goal difference is because they've played Wolves.

I can't wait for Arse v Che...bring it on!

That's the attitude mate, I was despairing a bit during the close season but now I'm back to being bullish again.

They're doing us proud at the moment & Chelsea know that they're record against us is bad especially at Highbury.

We also went to Anfield and won 2-1 just like you and that was the first time our new signings playes together, this season we are better off and who cares about our record against Arsenal, this is a new Chelsea team who will be playing Arsenal and i can't wait for it either.
