Yes, it's the table of most points picked up following goals registered in the last 10 minutes of matches. Not that surprising, really, given how officials gifted them two wins over Burnley with incredibly late illegitimate goals when they should have had draws each time.

The Guardian has gone into detail on this today and reveal that we have scored 8 goals in the final 10 mins and conceded none ( we let in 11 last season, most under Jose), placing us second in this table. 

Arsenal's parade is scheduled for late May.

I'm not entirely sure why they thought 'Manchester United still making Premier League teams pay in Fergie-time' (I've also never seen that hyphenated before) was an appropriate headline considering the content doesn't really suggest that at all?

I'd have put more focus on something like 'Wow, maybe Arsenal aren't such massive bottlers after all'

I also wonder if the 10 mins they count are just 80 mins onwards or, say, 95 - 10 (or in the case of Arsenal on Sunday) 97 - 10.

 

I also remember the research they referred to in the article about the amount of time added on when Man U were winning compared to when they were losing. They found that the 'top teams' were all given more stoppage time when they were behind than when they were leading.

They found one exception, however. No prizes for guessing that it was Chelsea that was treated differently to all the other top teams.

It's not February yet.

Arsenal at the top of the table are like Pandas on top of a bamboo tree. You'll wonder how they got there but you know eventually, they'll go down.

 

Mustafi gave us a good laugh today.

I think Wenger will finally be fired and the core of Arsenal will be dismantled.

LOL! Would you not pick up Sanchez or Ozil? I guess here in Chelsea it might not be easy for them to find a place.

He's still earning from Arsenal. Sorry for the typo. LOL

Arsene plead to their fans to be like Tottenham. Does he mean lower their standard and expectations? Arse are a really mess right now. Even the coach's blasting fans who stood by them in their EPL-title less 12 years.

He was better of asking his players to play like Tottenham. I hope he does not get fired.
