Anyone else annoyed that Ronaldo will win his 4th POY award to Messi's 5 ? None of them were particularly unfair but the gap between them is MUCH bigger than that. It should be something like 8-1 at this.
Ronaldo wins almost as much as Messi and winning trophies puts you at the front of the queue for these awards. Every year Ronaldo won he had the superior trophy cabinet that year. As for gap between them, it's not 8-1 big unless you think Real Madrid Ronaldo should never have won a single time and given their success and his individual achievements that just seems wrong.
I do agree arsenals schedule has been easy, however they've put up some REALLY good numbers since the PSG game. Mustafi xfer, ozil coming back, and the move to alexis up front have all coincided with the up tick in form.
It's not like the chelsea game was close, it was a comprehensive mollywhopping, and when you can do that to a potential top 4 team it bodes well even if it is at home. Also the soton win is a good win seeing as they are a very strong side IMO.
Sure some of the games arsenal have won have been vs meh sides, but getting 3 in away games and looking great doing it definitely lends itself to some optimism. If they were eeking out wins I'd be more worried (as I was at the start of the year especially after PSG where ars got dominated and were lucky to get a point).
Lotta questions will be answered in november with Spuds @Manure PSG ties. After that though pretty easy matchups through mid december.
Needed a stoppage time, offside, handball goal to beat the worst PL team ever though.

He didn't win anything in 2013, Messi won the league that year. 5-4 in BdOs is ridiculous if we look at how different their careers were, Ronaldo had it way tougher than Messi, not even close.
Arsenal has improved this year undoubtedly due to the replacement of Olivier giroud and Aaron Ramsey somewhat fortuitously through injury. the use of Alexis upfront and Iwobi from the flanks has allowed them to play at a faster pace and interchange a lot. finally the contributions of walcott cannot be ignored as he has taken his game to another level as he always seems to do when contract renewal is around the corner. what he does once the contract has been signed remains to be seen
Has anyone seen Marty? I have two presents for him. Sorry, had to after him being so cocky to "win that home match against us for sure" and get out of the group stage (lmao). We really suck in away matches, but the defense today was rock solid.
