There's bound to be plenty of goals on both ends when we play them, hopefully more at their end

That goal doesnt happen without Girouds work rate to track back. Fair play to him!

KaiserGunner

Ozil, what a class act, great goal. Delighted with that win now and guarantees qualification. This game week last season saw us with 1 win and 3 defeats from the four games, so it's nice to wrap up qualification with two games to spare.

Multiple orgasms watching that Ozil goal. Great result. Impressed with Ludogrets there no mugs.

Your lookin well November

**** November, 2016 has been pretty good to the gunners.

Elneny pass for ozil lads? He was only moments on the pitch. Fantastic Bergkampesque finish from ozil

We would have folded like a house of cards last season in this kind of game having gone behind. Something different about us this year and even my non-arsenal mates are commenting on it. I'm becoming increasingly optimistic that our November Jinx won't happen this year.

Very worried about our defenders under the high ball.
Better teams will make hay against them if they don't work on it.

Yes. Though KO might move to 2.15, so watch the return flight

Normally hate games after CL midweek games especially against top half teams but Spurs have one less day than us and we got to rest some players tonight

Looking forward to it now

Agreed. That's why I was asking last week about the height of mustafi and our general lack of height this year.

It's a big weakness which I think we have got away with so far.

Superb 50 yard pass to put Ozil through. Only noticed how good of a pass it was after watching the goal for the 500th time

I'd settle for 0-0 at the Emirates against PSG

We'd have to beat Basel away in the last game, because most likely PSG will beat Ludogrets at home. Could be very nervy affair that.

I'd prefer if we manage to nick a win against PSG and we can take it easy for the last game. Maybe even rest a few players.

Souness doesn't like us for some reason

Royale with Cheese

To be fair I don't think anyone will be convinced arsenal are the "real deal" after a good start to the season. It was a question basically setting up Souness to have a moan, he was always going to oblige. Andrews was happy to join in.

I like Kerr, he definitely came across as far more knowledgeable about the strengths in the current squad than the other two there.

Ludicrous display from Özil

Im beginning to think its just an Irsh thing. Negatives bastarrds on RTE as well. Never anything good to say.

Ok, I have to admit, I find Alfreds scorer update posts great, but any chance we could lash them into a table instead? I've even gone and done the first one, with sortable columns and everything. Just click the header and it'll sort by it.

Player|Goals|Total Goals|Assists|Total Assists
Sanchez|6|8|3|5
Walcott|5|8|2|2
Ozil|3|7|1|3
Oxlade Chamberlain|1|5|1|3
Giroud|2|3|0|1
Xhaka|1|3|0|0
Cazorla|2|2|2|3
Koscielny|2|2|0|0
Perez|0|2|0|3
Chambers|1|1|0|0
Ramsey|0|0|1|2
Iwobi|0|0|3|3
Elneny|0|0|1|2
Bellerin|0|0|1|1
Gibbs|0|0|1|1
Akpom|0|0|0|1

Adding bold to the names makes it screw up the order at first, so that people who have been bolded appear at the top, but if you click "player", then it'll sort by them correctly.

The code to create the table above is here:

[PHP]Player|Goals|Total Goals|Assists|Total Assists
Sanchez|6|8|3|5
Walcott|5|8|2|2
Ozil|3|7|1|3
Oxlade Chamberlain|1|5|1|3
Giroud|2|3|0|1
Xhaka|1|3|0|0
Cazorla|2|2|2|3
Koscielny|2|2|0|0
Perez|0|2|0|3
Chambers|1|1|0|0
Ramsey|0|0|1|2
Iwobi|0|0|3|3
Elneny|0|0|1|2
Bellerin|0|0|1|1
Gibbs|0|0|1|1
Akpom|0|0|0|1[/PHP]

Anyone who sees my posts on the Xbox Forum is probably dying laughing that my OCD has finally spilled out onto the rest of boards

Lads another question!

So I'm bringing the 2 kids over we usually fly Heathrow but this time around flights are very expensive! We're would you recommend as an alternative thinking of convienience and cost from the airport to stadium by train?

Gatwick i find the best. They do a rail day pass too. Think it was 10 pound. Train from the airport into Kings Cross London and free travel on the underground too. Excellent value.

Cheers how expensive is the train? Could of swore I paid a lot on that route before about £40 return per person. I'm going over and back same day

Yeah me and the missis flew into there. We were expecting to pay 40 pound just on the train from Gatwick to London Kings Cross and then having to get the oyster cards as well but the women kindly told us of the day pass ticket.

£30 return to Tottenham Hale £15 for kids

That's an open return

No problem. Google all day travel card. Should be no more than 12 pounds. Ideal for your day trip.

Yeah, it's a really easy trip. Platform 3 train to Bedford, get off at St Pancras, cross over to Kings Cross, get the Piccadilly Line to Arsenal. If you need to get lunch/dinner, I think you'd be better off eating around Kings Cross than around the stadium, less people/better restaurants.

If you're going for fast food, then Five Guys is at the front of Kings Cross, and is very, very good

This is why there should be a separate Arsenal forum because threads dedicated to this valuable information is well needed.

Unreal timing.

One thing I've really noticed over the last times that Elneny has played is his awareness. He got that ball, and rather than play a safe option, he was aware of what Ozil was doing. Even in the last game, he was aware that the player pressuring him was on his own, and rather than play a pass back, he just played around the player.

I really like the depth our squad has now. Some of them aren't the finished article, but they're closer than they have been in years.
