Arsenal are fire and the fact that we're even beating teams like Swansea and Southampton in the premier league this season (the type of teams we usually drop points to) is very promising. As for the really weak teams? We're smashing in 4+ goals a game!
This is a pretty make or break season for us I think. We'll lose star players if we don't win the league for sure.
Not so hard to look on fire when apart from Chelsea (and including it to be fair) all the teams arsenal played against for the last month or so are garbage
Arse finish 1st they will get bayern (assuming bayern finishes second behind atm)
Arse finish second they will get barca.
It is destined.
Last time arsenal looked this good was the wins vs manu and bayern last year. I don't think it is a coincidence that Healthy Santi, and Good FEO are common links between the two.
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.
Im quite happy with us beating garbage teams confidently. We can afford to slip up in some big games if we keep bringing home the bacon vs teams like that

Slip up in some big games, especially in the CL, typically means an exit in the first knockout round. That's really what you want to afford?
Yesterday was Messi's 37h career hat trick for Barca. Thirty ****ing seven.
Also, I like how Rio Ferdinand criticized Arsenal for taking selfies in the dressing room post-match like he didn't used to jump out at teammates yelling "YOU GOT MERKED SON!"
anyone with a braincell can interpret what my post meant. will not explain further
Spoiler:
and ofc we will get KO'd at the round of 16...you started following this sport this year?
Too bad that there is no moderation between too optimistic and overly pessimistic when it comes to the Gunners. Besides my team in Germany, you can guess three times who I favor and follow in the EPL.
One GOAT leaves penalties to his teammates, the other desperately has been shooting 90% of any freekick within 30 yards into the wall despite having a far superior free kick taker in his team

This. Pretty amazing how one does this for fun and the other out of desperation.
Spoiler:
yes i do realize i just summond several cr7 jpgs, possibly in underwear holding his golden balls
Yeah would sure be very embarrassing to miss a pen after a hat-trick leading 3-0 with 10 mins to go when your status as the GOAT has already been cemented

We are not even the main boom/busters in our league

Is this another bot in the Kate, raheem, janine family tree?
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.
