Will Wenger last till the weekend?

‘Worst moment or my career’ said Wenger after the debacle to losing to newly promoted Brighton on Sunday. ‘Murray’s first half hat trick was bad enough, but seeing Lewis Dunk carry the ball out of defence, all the way to the edge of the box before curling one into the top corner made me realise my time is up’

Both teams playing with an intensity and fitness level we can only dream of.

Yep, it's the key difference between the top 6 and the rest (even a poor Arsenal). It's so intense, so fast, so physical. Even the little tricksters are mega-competitive.

On Sunday we can't be over confident and play an open game, if we do they'll just pick us off.

We need to keep it tight and hit them on the break because they're always vulnerable at the back.

What an amazing football manager Guardiola is....and all done on a shoe-string budget of £500,000,000.00.

A remarkable man. He should be the only man in football allowed to carry on with his Political yellow ribbon and should he support ISIS...he can wave their flag too.

Yes, sharp one touch interchange passing - as per Jose’s goal vs Stoke,. It’s all about our tempo and pressing play on Sunday that could genuinely get us a good result.

But will CH see a point against Arsenal as a good result and revert back to our defensive style against the 'better' teams.
This is tricky, we may get a point by defending, we may get a point by attacking.
We have a chance of getting all 3 by attacking but sit back if we go 1 up and even a poor Arsenal low on confidence will rip us apart.
I've all confused myself now.
But I think if we play to our best we could well win on Sunday.

Got to attack surely....Arsenal look a bit weak at the back (although the quality of the goals was fantastic). The way Gross, Jose and Murray are linking up now shouldn’t be constrained.
