Haha, that reminds me. The Monday morning after our win I was wearing an Arsenal shirt and just managed to board the bus on time on the way to uni. Bus driver saw me and being a utd fan quipped "I shouldn't have let you in with that on. ****ing daylight robbery"
Lol, yep spot on. They would be burning from that. I recall my united mates saying at the time that arsenal's only clear shots on goal took 120 minutes - penalties!

RvP gets it done again this morning. He's on fire. Happy with the win and looks like we'll top the table

Of concern though is our inability to kill of games, we've had a some genuine chances that we've failed to convert. Against the top teams we need to be more clinical

Or Napoli.

Not to worry, we have a great record against Italian teams in the knockout stages. :thumbsu:
Here's our possible opponents ...

Napoli, Lille/Trabzonspor/CSKA Moscow, Basel, Ajax/Lyon, Valencia, Zenit/Porto, Milan

To narrow it down with likely matchday 6 results ...

Napoli, Lille, Ajax, Porto, Milan

Would love RvP to get some revenge against Ajax. Has some disturbing history there: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...to-Arsenal-on-day-of-terror-in-Amsterdam.html

red card for benno? wonder what he did

anyway, agreed that song has been sensational this season. obviously behind RvP as our best performer to date.

i would say that despite his lack of final touch in front of goal, gervinho has been our best purchase/new player

I'd be our best player too next to Andre Santos and a guy who hasn't played :D

Think you're underrating Arteta, he's done well IMO.

Yes arteta has been very good. I think his best days are behind him, mostly due to some serious knee injuries of course. He's slotted in well into the team however maybe doesn't get major accolades as he's had to fill the creative voids left by the cesc/nasri departures. So perhaps he's harshly judged

Song ! What a run to set that goal up :thumbsu: Arteta has been our best pick up this season imo, just a shame he`s 30 and not 25. I`m not being a smart arse here but it pays to watch him carefully, his work rate is huge as he pops up all over the pitch.
Just on rvp, i backed him at the start of the season to be top scorer, got him at $7.50, then after our dreadful start to the season he blew out to $23, so had to have another go at that !

Not a fan of the away. I'm getting an RvP top if he signs a new contract. You should have got Wilshere.

I am a fan of this though
