Cech has been outstanding! MOTM for me.
You called it there Tiron

In my post above about Cech, see when I'm offline his name shows up as a link to some stupid T shirt on amazon. Just to say I don't know how that happens, but wish it didn't!

A shame we couldn't hold on against Liverpool, but before those matches I wouldn't have been too disappointed with two draws.

Can't say the same about the next few fixtures:

Chelsea (H)
Southampton (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Leicester (H)

If we don't get around 11/12 points from those fixtures, it will be very disappointing with 12 games left to play.

We won't have a better chance to beat Chelsea at home. They've been terrible.
Leicester will be important too though and I cant see Bournemouth being pushovers, they beat Chelsea and Man Utd.

I'm hoping several players are back shortly. We looked really thin on the bench today.

Had we won against Liverpool, today would have been a good point. Shame Liverpool could raise their game against us and not the Mancs.

Hopefully we get Alexis and Ozil back for the game against Chelsea. Costa should be out for that.

Don't think either team deserved to win it. If I was to cut us any slack then possibly the Liverpool match took it out of us a bit. They are a well drilled team who don't concede many. A point up there isn't so bad all things considered. A game best forgotten and move on to the next one.

It's impossible to get 11 points from four games so we'll have to win them all then.

Personally I'd be happy with 10 points.

Never expected a win at Stoke, so a point is welcomed.

Looks like Jenkinson has slipped down the pecking order at West Ham. Bilic obviously doesn't like him.

With Debuchy on his way out, will Wenger decide to recall him?

Probably a good idea if Debuchy's indeed leaving. No point in spending money on a back up RB. Bellerin's been immense.

So, we may have özil, coq and sanchez back for the Chelsea match, talking about good timing. We need a win, 2 draws in a row's not good enough.

Would be good to wilshire, cazorla and wellbeck available soon as well. Our bench has looked poor the last few games.

Assuming Sanchez goes straight back in on Sunday who plays the other 'winger' role? I don't see how you can drop Campbell at the mo...so looks like Theo after all the reminiscing this week could be dropped?

I'd be dropping Campbell, Theo is a better all round player and when he's 'on' (rare I know) he can be the difference between winning or not.

Coquelin ahead of schedule and back in training. Great news.

Theo should be dropped until Campbell loses form.

looks like Ozil plays, but Alexis still probably not as Wenger is wary - if he develops a problem, acc to AW, he'll be out for 'ages' , which indicates that something's still not right.
Bench at best, unless AW panics.

Recorded the Jeremy Kyle show earlier, as my wife told me Kenny Sansom was on it.

Just watched it, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I had a tear in my eye. Heartbreaking to see a man who we all admired and had such an affinity for, paraded, berated and humiliated on the JK show.

He is a broken man, but hopefully he can get his life back together.

Worth a look if you're interested. Probably on ITV player.

West Ham take an early lead against City. Long long way to go yet though.

I haven't seen the Jeremy Kyle show with Kenny Sansom and won't bother to watch it. It's all well documented. I just hope he can get his life back on track. Brilliant player for Arsenal and England. All the best Kenny.

Yes not all our old players have been on easy Street since leaving Arsenal. I am thinking of Paul Merton.

Hammers take the lead again!

If we have any real aspirations on winning the PL we need to beat Chelsea.

Yes the poor results against them in the past need to be forgotten about.

The more this season results go on, the more I think as little as 75 points might be enough for the title

Yes we are well over due a win against them. October 2011 was the last time we beat them in the league. This fixture has drawn a blank for the last two seasons as well.

Giroud, Walcott and Campbell start up front, Ramsey, Özil and Flam through the middle, the usual back four.

Sanchez on the bench, which is looking strong for a change.

Come on Arsenal! 3 points to return to the top of the table.

Costa and Fabregas starts for them, Hazard on the bench. Great chance, kos and merts need to stay calm and deal with costa but they're a safe pair of hands and hopefully will keep their head.
