Am I seeing a familiar pattern emerging or tilting at windmills? ..

Against top 4 opponents

Liverpool - 1-0 defeat.
Man city - held to draw at home.
Aston Villa - defeat.
Chelsea - held by 10 men.

We're as overrated as we always were - just have a bigger squad of overpriced, permanently injured journeymen.

Arteta out!

I don't think fhe first two games have anything to do witg the recent two.

Against Liverpool and city we lacked ambition and creativity. We were ****. That has changed.

These two recent games are about us losing the heart of our defence and being a little unbalanced.

Either way, there is always an excuse

We've actually done rather well against the better sides in recent times.

Of course, we DO have a squad of overpriced, permanently injured journeymen. But then, so do most teams.
We do not wish or aim to be Real Madrid; we merely hope to get lucky once in a while and win a league title, same as everybody else.

We've earned more points, scored more goals and conceded fewer than after the same fixtures last term

It's on

True. I suppose the context we need to apply to those stats is that we were ****ing useless last season.

Odegaard looks like his old self again. That's the good news. Oh, and it seems Trossard was taken off as a precaution

The bad news is... well, pretty much everything else.

Bad day. Best to move on and forget it

I'd hoped you'd be too polite to mention that

They say its the hope that kills you.

They're wrong.... it's injuries

Indeed. We actually have little right to be where we are.

Don't worry. We won't be for long.

Wish we could afford some more players.....

Right. Just long enough will do.

I'm sure we do have enough money, although apparently not enough to make anyone set up the striker
