And when you watch them closely it's hard to deny they're an impressive outfit that play superb football 

Meh, still find them really boring to watch.

Can't agree. They are relentless and absurdly consistent but there is so much to admire in their football: skill, teamwork, effort, intelligence, pace, resilience, patience. No other Prem team comes close in my eyes, individually or collectively. It goes without saying that we are light years behind them.

I thought Walker fouled Rashford moments before the equaliser. I remember a few years ago Willian getting a second yellow at Villa for touching a player's shoulder. And Reece James got a second yellow this season at Newcastle for momentarily touching Gordon's arm. We just get reffed differently to other teams.

City are a lot less annoying than Liverpool 

Liverpool have been really lucky this season. Outperforming their expected points by 10 at the moment.

Combination of opponents not being clinical and good goalkeeping ...

When you say it like that, it makes me very proud that our young team have matched them twice this season in the PL games ... 

At least we had a crack against City, and a bit unlucky not to win. United had one attack with one goal, basically parked the bus for the next 90 minutes and didn't even push when it was 1:2.

Gooners have now scored 5 goals in their last 3 away games.

No striker too. 

6 nil now.

And they'll still lose the title to City again.

Can't wait fo Argo to come in and say Arteta is a bad manager

Another thrashing: this one has put Arsenal ahead of their rivals on goal difference.

I'm torn.  It's become a 3 horse race for the title and as much as I loathe that lot from north London I positively hate the scousers and pretty much ambivilent towards Man City these days. Who would you prefer to win it ?

Never forget.

City. every time..I don't care about them and only know one city supporter

I think Arteta can't coach. 

CB at LB and RB, who does this? 😂😂😂

Havertz as a false 9

Jorginho at the base of the midfield

Arsenal has 2/11 of our CL winning formula, by default they won Sheffield...

Man City every time.

I hate Liverpool but Arsenal winning it is the stuff of nightmares.

As well as Arsenal have played recently, and begrudgingly I admit they have, after the Brentford match things get real for them.

They’ll be playing better teams in the league and after FC Porto will play real teams in the Champions League as well.

We’ll see what they’re made of then…

The thing about last nights match is I have to admit, Arsenal were very good - right at Sheff Utd from the off and they carved them to ribbons. Sheff Utd were as bad as I have seen a side in the PL, but deep down, you know that if we had been playing them last night, we would have struggled to break them down and probably struggled to a 2-1 win after handing them a goal on a plate when one of our defenders gave the ball away whilst f**king about trying to play out from the back.

The thing that impressed me about Arsenal last night, was their desire to get off to a fast start. The intensity in their play was relentless, only surprise was it took them 4 mins to score.

And Rice who for a while we were linked with Lampard allegedly wanted him.

Just looked at the YouTube highlights 8 Arsenal players in or around  the box for that first goal.

2nd an own goal and the 3rd a deflection, also Havertz finishes well.

They absolutely flew out the blocks and should have been 1-0 up in the first minute. Relentless pressure. Exactly what we should have done against Brentford on Saturday when they had their first choice defence all out and were there to be got at.

 12 defeats in 15 matches also. They were at an all time low, and what do we do? Show them too much respect because we have an inferiority complex.
