Are we underrating ourselves, for once?

Rosicky, Podolski and Chamberlain on the bench today. Not too bad.

I think the only department that concerns me is upfront, but we just need Giroud to improve, we don't have to sign world class talent in this window. Let's see what he does from now till the end of the season, then evaluate in the summer.

COYG.

Its amazing how well we've done so far without even our full squad available for the whole season.

We haven't had a moment where we've not had an important player out. We got close recently, then Walcott went.

Yes we are. dont let the media influence you, we have just as strong a chance to win the league as City and Chelsea. Everyone is waiting for us to slip but we have been top for most of season and the only reason why city and chelsea are near us is because they have been on good runs.

Both those teams are actually more likely to drop silly points than us this season

Let's be honest, the only two free-scoring teams in the league are City and Liverpool.

Taking into account our forward options I think we are doing very well to be the third highest goalscorers with the 3rd best goal difference.

We are very much a defense heavy team (hilarious to even think I would be saying this given we had Silvestre, Djourou and Squillaci only a few years ago) and we need our midfield + Giroud to provide 1 or 2 goals each game to get us over the line.

We are about as efficient a team as any other and let's hope that we are ruthless enough to scrape 1st place by 1 point.

you have good depth in midfield, looks like next week is going to be a corker. I have to raise a drink to the PL from week one its been a 100% action and looks like it is going to carry on that way right to the end.

Having watched Arsenal today, I must say that they are as exciting as watching paint dry! We need to play the ball through the middle, more and we do need an experienced, reliable striker who can also bring the best out from Giroud. If that happens then we have a chance at finishing on top!

i was listening to the commentators who were saying we were not favorites for the title but this could be our best chance because United, City & Chelsea will only get stronger next season.

i think as a team we are very underestimated. Seriously, this team reminds me of the Man United of old when Scholes, Beckham, Giggs to name a few all came though at the same time with already the backbone of a very good side.

we are a very good sign and we have the likes of Theo, Ramsey, Gibbs, OXO, Gnabry, Wilshere all coming through (growing up) at the same time with the back bone of a very good side.

i guess the only difference between the Man United era and this time for Arsenal is that there were not the likes of City and Chelsea around that could just about buy anybody but the thing is with out a very good team coherence, mental ability and togetherness this doesn't always guarantee success.

with the current team we have now and a few more additions in the summer to compliment it further we could well be the "new kids on the block".

We are looking good, beating lesser teams week in week out home and away, aslong we do that until the end of the season the title is ours, ramsey is still to come back as well what a impact he can make

This team is now more about efficiency. We are not as attacking or exciting as previous arsenal teams.

Saying that, we could really do with some additions. We are losing player per game and in the attacking front we look short

Terrible squad. Will be lucky to finish top 4
