Boxing Day Footie *spoilers be inside*

I dont think Andy Gray has ever liked Arsenal though. Not that we should lose any sleep over that

I don't know about Andy Gray not liking Arsenal, he like a lot of other pundits / commentators do like to touch themselves over how Arsenal play the "game the right way" and then will slate Mr Wenger for not buying players.

Andy Gray suffers from a lack of knowledge of anyone that isn't top 4.

The big test comes at the end of Jan and beginning of Feb where we play Villa, Man Utd, Chelski and Liverpool all in a row.

If we get through that then it could be very interesting

That's a rough draw on the fixture list, Arsenal will be out of it after then.

I can see it happening as well. I remember a few years back when we had a similar set of fixtures very close to each other as well. We didn't fare that great.

Thing about Arsenal is that the dip in form will come. Sure, they've started well this season, it just means that they'll lose the pace in the run-in instead.

Wenger needs to realise that he needs to spend. I think he's almost there, just a couple of players and they'll be challenging all season, instead of part of it.

I think if Wenger can get some solid defensive cover, and someone to "replace"/play the RvP role, Arsenal should be challenging all season.

For some strange reason, I'd like Arsenal to buy Jaaskelainen - Think he would do really well behind a better defense than he has had.

As good as Arsenal are playing, and the position they're in, I still don't think they have what it takes to win. They will definitely drop a good few more points. 3rd spot for me!

If there was anybody else that was really good I'd write Arsenal off too, but there isn't. Neither Chelsea or Man Utd are good enough to run away with it, Man Utd are better though imo

Not been a post for 6 hours, the SA lot must be hungover.

On the one hand, I can see the potential that Arsenal will let themselves down. On the other hand, I can only see us getting stronger. At the start of the season, allot of people pegged us for Liverpool's current position.

Rosicky and Walcott on their way back. Fabregas in a few weeks not long followed by Clichy and Bendtner. All extra options for Arsenal.

Maybe, just sick of hearing Andy Gray and Richard Hairy Hands talk about how these wins are vital in Arsenal's 'race to 4th'. Very annoying.

Oh yeah Sky are very anti Arsenal aren't they

Seriously over the past 10 years and that's his game of the decade.

That aside Sky are always banging on about Arsenal and how they're this and how they're that, same with Liverpool albeit even Sky cant paper over the cracks at Liverpool anymore

Seems to me it's us and Chelsea who dont seem to get the credit we deserve by Sky

"The media hates us" is the dullest footballing cliche after "the refs blatantly favour other teams."

They really don't, they just get things wrong occasionally. Get over it.

Double post.
