Would you? Would you really?….think you may be better than that and under-estimating your management tbf.

Has the upturn in results had anything to do with the Ronaldo millstone being removed from your necks?

When did Lloris sign for Arsenal ?

Sets up a great chance they can’t take so does it himself next time :lol:

How many times have Spurs been 2-0 down this season?

Conte has build a horrible, thuggish side with no ability and he hasn’t a clue of how to turn it around. Out thought in every respect today

Of course there’s still plenty of time for them to lose their way but boy do Arsenal look good atm. Best midfield in the league.

I keep banging on about Odegaard and Partey, they were magnificent in the 1st half.

And Ramsdale has proved to be a brilliant signing.

Pickford has never let England down and is clearly a favourite of Southgate, but Ramsdale is consistently fantastic as a last line behind a very good defence. He deserves a chance to show it for England

As for White, who the hell did he have a row with in Qatar. He looks unbelievably calm and assured

I thought Partey looked a bit sloppy at times in the first half.
Good keepers win titles and Ramsdale has really stepped up. Couple of amazing saves.
As for Spurs, they are a one man team. They look terrible. Terrible to watch as well.....like long ball merchants. Mystifies me how they are that far up the table. Showed their class at the end with their fans as well. Disgusting behaviour. Arteta protected his players well there, got them out quick.
Arsenals passing is wonderful to watch and how they get out of such tight spaces is a thing of magic.
They deserve the title.

Apparently Spurs have asked the fan that kicked Ramsdale to hand himself in so they can issue a lifetime ban. 3,627 fans have come forward to say it was them.

reckon Conte might be on his way pretty soon

Not quite sure how the fan who kicked Ramsdale was just allowed to just jump back into the crowd and get away given the number of stewards who were stood there watching. One of them was close enough to push him back into the stand put not close enough to use the same hand to grab him and hand him over to the cops.

Xhaka too - always thought he was a cracking midfielder. Arteta’s biggest achievement may be sorting out his temperament and discipline itself!

Still only halfway but they look unstoppable at this point. And with the added bonus of not being in the CL, they’ll get the additional advantage of being able to rest more players

Arsenal do look really good this time around and they've got some good depth in most areas as well now as well. Could maybe use another midfielder to come in and be competitive, Lokonga is a decent option for them but they could maybe use someone else as well to come if possible.

I honestly think they could do worse than going back to Poch and sticking with his philosophy. Get someone in who loves the club. It always feel like Conte thinks he's doing the club a favour. And the football is dreadful. Much like Jose

Squad just needs a refresh too. Lloris is done, Dier isn't good enough... there's quite a few players there who were regulars when Pochettino was last there.

The Sky pundits were certainly not holding back on their criticism of Spurs last night. :shock:

Can't really blame them, they were very passive and looked a million miles away from where Arsenal are now. Arsenal looked hungry and wanted it and were far more composed on the ball. Spurs just don't really have the technical players, especially at the back or in the middle of the park, to look after possession and try to progress up the pitch.

They were just pulled and picked apart every which way by Arsenal who were just find space constantly with neat, intricate passing between the lines and Saka absolutely ripped them apart down Spurs' left side.

In Spurs' defence, they had a fair number of efforts and if wasn't for some excellent saves from Ramsdale, the picture could have looked a lot different. Just those moments in games that aren't going for them, not for a lack of quality on the field, but maybe a lack of confidence.

Depth? I thought their bench looked pretty thin

Arsenal coming from behind Spurs in terms of recent league finishes, coming 5th last season and 8th the season before, to now being title challengers (maybe even favourites) just compounds Spurs failures in the transfer market and with managerial appointments
