I have to be honest- I am not overly concerned about the Bolton game. I fancy us in that one :-)

At home too ;-) Southampton and PSG at home after those fixtures as well

Once we get away games at Spurs, City, Newcastle and Chelsea out of the way (4 of our next 5 away games, I think) we will have played almost all the toughest games. Only horrible trips left are Old Trafford and Anfield (penultimate game of the season).

We may be adrift by the start of November but we are capable of putting together a long, long run of wins from then on.

Right - who are you and what have you done with P? There is optimism in there somewhere

You could easily read it the other way :-) Adrift? Adrift? Calm down!! Grow up!! :-)

I hope we aren't adrift, for two main reasons. Firstly, the online fanbase will be demanding resignations left, right and centre and although that is funny for a while, it gets irritating very quickly. But secondly, and more importantly, the ****tish, clueless pundits will drivel on about how we should have bought a centre forward for several hundred million.

But that's a good thing - I generally don't think they care. Or we can use it. Arteta has a bit of GG about him (a very positive trait in my book)

Both Edu and Arteta have shown great skill in totally ignoring the fanfare around them and the idiotic demands of all and sundry. I think it comes from knowing exactly what you want and having a clear plan.

I ****ing love Edu. He had possibly the third worst position* to be in (behind two of the greatest midfielders of all time and still shone) but clearly loves the Arsenal

*Worserer were Kanu and Wiltord as back up for God and God Jr

Always loved Edu, remember watching his 1st game at Leicester and was gutted when he pulled his hamstring. Was the best player on the pitch.

Everton on the XXX Cup springs to mind as well - bunch of kids around him but had a great game
