you have had a team capable of winning the league for a while...
Not consistently...

Think back to the squad we fielded 2 years ago and compare it to the one we have today:

ARSENAL
Szczesny
Jenkinson
Koscielny
Djourou
Traore
Ramsey
Rosicky
Coquelin
Arshavin
Walcott
Van Persie


Subs:
Fabianski
Oxade-Chamberlain
Chamakh
Lansbury
Miguel
Ozyakup
Sunu

From memory, that was the strongest team we had in 2011... Definitely not league-winning material.

If anything both of yous should be having a go at Liverpool with their failings so far this season and their constant victims mentality.

Liverpool hasn't been failing by any stretch this season...

Suarez and Sturridge are on fire... and when you get good service out of guys like Coutinho, Gerrard, and Moses, then it's little wonder they're well-entrenched in the top 4.

all my cuzns r Liverpool supporters....always give it to them...they are overachieving big time this season....but like u said no league or Europe and no facup until January...so all they play is premier league games...where the rest of the top 6-7 teams r all in Europe with midweek away games.......so its hard to draw a comparison......they will fall and end up 6th as per usual....its only a matter of time before Suarez does something stupid or goes to another team...and lets face it... sturridge aint that good

United fans coming out when their team wins, where were they when they lost to WBA or Man City?

AN ARSENAL fan has been left homeless after he bet his house on Arsenal beating Manchester United and lost.

The Observer*reports that Henry Dhabasani, from Iganga, Uganda, made the bet against Rashid Yiga, confident that Arsenal would defeat the English Premier League champions.

Mr Dhabasani put up his two-bedroom home, while Mr Yiga wagered his new Toyota Premio and his wife.

The pair put their bet in writing and it was witnessed by local leaders.Mr Dhabasani, already married to three women with who he has five children, fainted at the end of the match as Manchester United won 1-0.

The day after the game Manchester United fans stormed the home and threw out Mr Dhabasani and his family.

The most fk'd up situation in my Fantasy League this week - worst luck

My two strikers Soldado and Aguero are verusing eachother. So one will likely score good points, other won't...

My defenders Fonte and Lovren are taking on my midfielders Ramsey, Cazorla and Ozil

My Everton boys, Baines and Barkley are taking on Liverpool

Great!!!

Soldado? you need to sell him. He's not scoring goals, not worth his price. Suarez, Giroud, Lukaku, Rooney, Sturridge will bring better returns imo and are in better form, depends who you can afford. Spurs aren't scoring goals atm

3 Arsenal midfielders puts too many eggs in one basket, I would sell Cazorla and keep Ramsey and Ozil


My 2 cents

Rumours Benzema has a handshake agreement with us in January.

Source KE
gee-up? LOL

jokes aside, there's no point believing any talk that Arsenal will get Benzema..

Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, reports The Daily Star.

Benzema, who had been out of form at the Bernabeu, has started to turn his career around in Spain and now it's understood Madrid aren't willing to part ways with their forward.


...

The Gunners were keen to bring Benzema to the Emirates in January in order further fuel their bid to win the Premier League title.


Arsene Wenger is desperate for a new striker at the north London club in order to give competition to Olivier Giroud.


However it now looks unlikely Benzema will be joining his former teammate Mesut Ozil at the Emirates.
