The gooners have scored three or more goals in five of their eight games.
Arsenal were great to watch going forward today. Answered a few questions against a top 6 side

Yep, looks like Arsenal will have the honour of coming second this time.

I insisted from day one of the season that Arsenal would go well. I predicted them to finish 3rd but a runners-up spot is looking likely.

They have toughened up at the back with the signing of Salibi partnering Gabriel & White.

Jesus & Zinchenko were two quality signings from the champions. Add the likes of the young players Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Tierney, etc maturing with every game, Arteta has built a excellent squad.

Arsenal remain at the top after an excellent victory at Stamford Bridge.

I thought prior to the start of the season, Arsenal would go well this season, they made some shrewd signings in the summer.

Arsenal are doing very well, but, it got my goat when after our defeat, Arteta said they well deserved to win and it should have been by 3 :evil:

His all-round contribution for a forward is fantastic imo, really surprised Pep didn't use him a lot more.

He'll be a huge miss for Arsenals title dreams and could end them if they don't buy in January, or could little fast Eddie take the stage ?

The Gooners were a joy to watch.

Nketiah superb turn & finish with Ben White involved in a splendid move shows what we are missing from our ex-on loan lads.

Only one team has failed to win the league when five points clear at the top of the table prior to the Boxing Day fixtures

Impressive from the Gooners as they dominate the North London rivals.

They are a very good watch, some really talented players and Arteta has really got them playing well together.

Same as you GW, I hope they win it, albeit we have a gooner in our village who will never stop going on about it :roll: :roll: :roll:

Arsenal can only get better, a very young team with an average age around 23yo.

Can they keep going, or will they stall and will City go on one of their crazy winning streaks.

Should be a good watch to the end of the season.
