I actually hate it too

Got called for it in our thread as well, but as I said, it was a long post and I got lazy. Had even started writing their names and all

The only thing worse than that is Sturridge's dance. If he does it tomorrow, I will have to shoot him in his dancing face.

Completely agree, can't bring myself to captain Suarez, even though he's in great form and I'm not about Giroud, the only conclusion is to pick a City player.

I'm also glad I don't have to play and defensive players from either team as I expect there to be goals from both teams tomorrow, I'm just not sure who will score the most.

I'm slowly starting to love that dance, simply because it means the ball is in the net

Hi guys,

Heading over to the Liv game without tickets.

Can anyone give me the best bet for getting 2. I've tweeted Arsenal_Tickets but no luck there.

Which are the best pubs and what locations around the ground are decent chances of getting ticket without touts.

Failing that can anyone suggest a good bar to watch the game that's in or around the ground.

Cheers.

van Persie for me. He was captain and seemed cursed. Changed and van Persie started scoring again so its back on him now :pac:

yeah, atm I have Suarez as captain. No players from Utd, City or Chelsea on my team, so each either him, Giroud or Özil.
No defenders either and I am expecting goals from both sides, so I removed Mignolet from keeper.

I am still not sure about the game. It looks quite tight. Until this morning I had a bad feeling about it, now I just think that it can go either way.
Very important to score first so we can control the game from there on.

You have scored more than bendy boots this season so far then

The Sun reckons Szezsney has signed a deal worth 100k a week. I think that would make him our 3rd hignest paid player behind only Ozil and Podolski. wonder what Walcott and co would make of that ?

He seems to be cutting down the mistakes and at 23 should have plenty of years ahead of him hopefully at the top. 100k for a keeper does sound a lot though.

TheCoolWay

Yaya Toure captain to destroy Norwich

keano_afc

I have Özil as captain because I forgot to change it. Brought Suarez in so he'll probably get sent off.

Marty McFly

Got to love Ozil tweeted this today

Arsenal - Liverpool



Hopefully he is well up for the game today.

Ed Winchester

Is that Ramsey between Ozil and Theo?? He looks ancient!

Great pic though.

TOON ARMY!

A win today now would be epic. Maybe this year November will be the month that sets us up

Well done Newcastle!

any recipes?

City and United ain't messing around this week anyway.

Hyzepher

Looks like both Manchester clubs racing each other to be first on MOTD tonight. They just haven't accounted for our 7-0 trashing of 'Pool later

Barlett

Great Scenes!

Pudders

Best atmosphere at the emirates all season!

Start believing!

We are top of the league, we are top of the league!

FearDark

We fully deserved that. Pool didn't have a sniff.

Hyzepher

Just realised that those complaining that we haven't beaten anyone above us are RIGHT.

mav79

Deserved 3 points, Liverpool were out passed but more important, we were out fought.

Mr Blobby

I'm now happy

FearDark

Benched Ramsey this morning in my FF.

#believe :pac:

keano_afc

YES!!! Bringing Suarez into my FF team did the trick. Super performance. Sagna brilliant, why are we faffing about with his contract.

Mickeroo

Over the moon with that. Was admittedly nervous beforehand, and up until the second goal even but I have to say I'm surprised by how much we bossed the game. Didn't think there was as much between the two teams as there actually is, that Liverpool midfield is very poor.

Irish Aris

great game, another 3 points, that's 25 out of a maximum of 30 (and I don't care that the fixtures were relatively easy). And very important that we have a small gap between us and the teams that follow. Even if things don't go well next Sunday, we will still be on top of the league.

Looked like a tight game in the beginning, but there is huge difference in midfield, ours played/is much better.

FearDark

Still like to see Pool finish in top four, I can't see it though. Title looks to be between ourselves and City at the moment. They look very very good.

jank

tbh a point next week would not be too bad I reckon.

not at all. At this stage I think it would be massive.

I'm quite frustrated with the injury to Gibbs.

I hope he will be fine but knowing his injury record, he could easily be ruled out for 3 weeks with a calf injury and we won't see him back until 2014.

What an excellent performance from everyone but bloody hell, how immense was Arteta today?!

Happiness!! Kos and Mert were excellent tonight, great to have a clean sheet.

For me our star man was the little mozart. Ran himself ragged. The urgency in his play is something we badly lack.

Bounty Hunter

Really enjoying watching Arsenal atm. Cazorla, Kosc etc so good, Arteta great and fair play to Wenger for sticking with his players so long, yeah it hasn't payed off with Diaby but Ramsey / Scezney have really come good for him.

cson

Rambo is only 22. :eek:

Jaysus. And lost over a year of his career into the bag and all.

AdamD

A few key things today for me:

Sagna's yellow in the first half - the spirit of Flamini on the pitch there. Very cynical but very important.
Ramsey and Arteta's battling - their tackle/interception count must be huge, two massive performances and ultimately the difference between the 2 sides.
The full backs: Never saw both forward at the same time. There was always one back, usually Gibbs which makes sense due to his extra pace to deal with Sturridge.
Rosicky - Great pressing and his first time passing keeps the tempo up and really helps tire out the opposition
