@sam: I agree with you, but what i meant is that they are likely to drop points during that period cause there will be large reshufling in the team, drogba, mikel, essien, kalou and it will take a one or two games to gel the new formation. The team is complete now and yet they’ve lost two. We must be hot on their heels so that anytime they drop points, we will be right there in the mix. Even if it is not in january. We need to keep winning

The Barclays Player of the month, RvP has something to say recently…

“I get the chance to play with the likes of Fabregas, Arshavin, Eduardo, Walcott, Nasri and Rosicky – great players who play a beautiful game.

“Then I watch some teams on TV and think: ‘Oh my God, this is so ugly!’

“That helps me realise how special it is to be at a club like this. I want to win it all with Arsenal.”

Love the quote!! Well said RvP! We love watching u guys… absolute entertainment! Now it’s time 4 that silver! I love to see how hungry the team look…there’s no doubt in my mind that we are hungrier than the last 4 seasons! C’mon u redsss!

@ Debs…agreed! They know how we feel when we left Old Traff…the pain of being the better team with 0 points is horrible!

@ Yemi – sorry to burst your bubble, but Chelski’s Jan fixture is pretty easy. We just have to focus on own game, one game at a time.

man u played well. Drogba was marked out & anderson held his own against essien. Arsenal should just stay put close behind chelski so that when their players go for the african cup of nations in jan, we would be able to overtake.

It’s really nice to hear Man U fans moaning about playing well and losing! It’s usually the other way round, isn’t it? Now they know how it feels! Lol

Would have preferred a draw, obviously, but for some reason, I think a Chelsea win is much more better than a United win.

ManU beat us on luck, they were beaten today but Chelski didn’t deserve it.
In a way, it’s now a 2 horse race; Chelsea & Arsenal.

Chelsea vs United, kick off now… I really hope they draw and get into a fight, red cards, suspensions and some points deductions..

No worries!

Damn! Maybe I won’t get 1! Will try again later. Thx again debs!
