Their keepers rank
They have a really weak depth to their squad
They'll struggle to score goals with no talismanic striker
They couldn't put away an Aston Villa side known for defensive frailties
Wenger & The Board have an obvious reluctance to spend yet are content with the mentality of being a selling club
They're an injury or two on key players I.E. Cazorla or Wilshire from being in serious trouble.

Wilshere is one of our weakest links at the moment Manky.

We obviously need a first choice GK, CM, AM and ST though.

I remember Chez was rated very highly by the Arsenal fans I know irl. They thought he was one of the best in the league. A polish lad I know said he was an arrogant cock and shouldn't have gone to the Euros (this was the day of the Poland/Greece game where he got himself sent off.)

Being able to charge that much and not spend anything is ridiculous. Can't believe they let so many players go as well, I swear some of them were actually good too.

Chelsea kick off in 5 mins, return of Mourinho.

Fair play to Villa! Really stuck it to Arsenal. And Goofle, how you can say that wasnt deserved is beyond me! Arsenal were shite mate.

Only week 1 but how cool to see us second! Not after tomorrow of course but hey, ya takes your pleasures where ya can! Also, two goals from Benteke equals points on the scoreboard for me on the FFL!

Fluff! Is that almost £100 for ONE GAME?? Surely not!

Season pass?

I see what he's saying though, they did spend a lot of time in our half especially from the 2nd half onward. They hit the post once (but so did we with Delph remember), but had they scored the chance that Guzan pushed on to the post or Rosicky's one on one then they more than likely would have won as they'd have had the momentum and they'd have smelled blood. Such fine margins in football.

The win was deserved though, we had plenty of chances (Tekkers hitting it wide on the break not long before Luna scored, Chez' moment of madness, think Weimann missed one too), I saw the 2nd pen last night and the lad took Gabby's other leg with his knee. Was a pen.

One game mate. Thing is people will pay it too. It's criminal they can charge that and be so frugal buying players.

That's one thing I'm grateful for at Villa, tickets for Liverpool next week are 25 quid.

You start every season second. You'll be league champions at the start of the 2014/15 season after Arsenal get relegated.

Comments on Chelsea and Mourinho's second coming? Is Frank Lampard up there with the greatest of all time or what?
