I really hate the new format the BBC Sport site has for reporting on games. Why cant we see the stats displayed (posession, shots on target etc) like it used to be?

We need Palace to help us today.
Not really, if they win it'll only be in Tottenhams favour not ours.

I agree. Even seeing the lineups is a bit of a pain compared to before!

Ospina injured??

Bellerin's been immense as well, especially going forward.

Go to football then fixtures..click on the live tab for our match. That takes you to the stats and live text, though you have to then click a tab to view the stats etc. They have changed the format a bit from how it used to be displayed

I expected to be able to click on each individual player and see their bio and stats . Pretty basic site to be fair.

Big win. Need to boost goal difference.

Not worried about Spurs, their fixtures after the break will take care of them.

Everton being poor helped but we took our chances, well not all of them but enough to win the match. Only heard the match but sounded like the balance was a lot better and we didn't fanny around with it too much. Kept a clean sheet too!

First to every ball. No panic at the back.

Yep was a new one saying time for change. Arsenal FC not Arsene FC #wengerout.

Seemed to cause some aggro between the AKBs and wengerout brigade.

Looks like Leicester will win. Oh well.
Spuds, City and now West Ham look to be our main competition now, could be some interesting games coming up.

Leicester win 1-0 again. You would expect Tott to beat B'mouth tomorrow.

Thought Leicester could do it after they beat Liverpool and City. And I thought they would win it after they beat Norwich.

They have been the most consistent team this season. They aren't a expensively assembled group of players, they function as one.

Arsenal haven't been good enough, simple. This doesn't look like a title-winning team and signing Cech has just papered a lot of cracks. Manager isn't ruthless enough and players keep bottling it.

Having said that, second is within grasp.

It's Leicester's to lose now. If only we hadn't been so crap and wasteful in the games we drew or lost. Fine margins and all that.

Wenger said post match..."I was pleased with how well they responded today," said Wenger.

"It was a very significant win for us and a mental test.

"I like this group, I like the mental attitude, it has been questioned and that hurts me," he added after Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi scored in the win over Everton.

"When you work with them every day, you see how much effort they put in."

Trouble is, games aren't won on the training pitch. This is what happens with him. We have a great end of season finish (when the pressure is off) and he's convinced he doesn't need to add any new players. Though I am sure he won't make the same mistake of not adding anyone, I still think he will dither and not be prepared to pay top dollar.

As much as I want Arsenal to win the league, part of me is glad that a team like Leicester, with a team which seems to be greater than the sum of their parts, is likely to win the title. It might be seen as a poor year in the Premiership by some, but Leicester do deserve credit.

Good performance today. It had to be, considering the recent disappointments.

My gut feeling is he'll be off. Embarassing to be so far behind Leicester, let alone them being crowned champions.

I'm inclined to believe he's starting to wield the axe though. We've seen Giroud, Walcott benched, Iwobi coming in. Changes in place. I would be surprised if Giroud leads the line next season and I imagine Wenger would be prepared to listen to offers for Walcott/the Ox/Ramsey. Can't see Mertesacker staying put. Don't see Wilshere having a sustained career at Arsenal.

I am assuming he will stay put. I do agree though that his patience with certain players may have run out. If a decent offer came in for the Ox, then yes I do think he would offload him, Walcott too. Wilshere is borderline but don't see anyone wanting him. I do fear for his long term future though unless he somehow modifies his game which he may not be prepared to do. Both Giroud and Mert would be useful squad players but not sure Giroud would be happy to get less game time. Mert possibly as he would still get quite a few games with our injuries. I would like to see a top CB come in as not convinced by Gabriel but I suspect he will go with what he's got.
