Arsenal to win the league - GET ON LARGE

[Ninja Elephant]

Arsenal play real football, like we try and do here. Passing football at it's best in England. Can't knock that

We don't play like Arsenal. We play like Chelsea, watch the two and you'll see the similarities with Chelsea are more vast. And Chelsea actually win things, they don't just have promise.

I would agree with the original poster about Arsenal's prospects. They are a much stronger squad this season as Wenger's new signings have added some steel to last years team that struggled with physical sides. However, for some reason Arsenal players are always injured, this will be their downfall in addition to not signing a decent goalkeeper (and the ageing and increasingly howler prone Swartzer isn't the answer).

like letting in 3 goals to teams from the north east this weekend

are you not forgetting the standard arsenal collapse in the 2nd half of the season? they do this every year. look promising 1st half & then get hit by injuries.

Said like a true expert.

Whoops

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

One game. I reckon Arsenal will still finish above Spurs and I care little about the Prem League.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

What a day

 

[Don Quixote]

Will he be right?!

 

[Conkers]

Nope. Good luck though!

 

[Cecil]

Will he be right?!

I would say not now !

 

[SirElliotBennett]

to me Arses' best XI is
GK-Whoever

Sagna/Clichy
Vermaelen/Koscielny

Fabregas/Song
Denilson/Walcott

Van Der Persie
Arshavin

a fine team I'm sure most would say but not strong enough to worry the big boys. I like the Arse they play lovely footy would love to see them win he PL.

You've left out the team's best player this season!

I have spent a long time thinking over this and after a weeks deliberation, have stuck £300 on Arsenal to win the league at 13/2.

This for me, is MASSIVE money, but I see it as an investment which will make me some serious cash.


Wenger will make the necessary signings before the transfer window closes which will change the odds so now is the time to get on...


An ageing United squad, an ageing Chelsea squad. This is Arsenals year, I am certain.

I expect very few will get on this tip, but those that do I say "Enjoy your winnings!"


Also MODS - Can you make this a sticky. I am here for the sake of all NSC'ers and would make me happy to see a lot of wealthy people come the end of the season

Did you do any research? Ageing United squad, excluding the keeper last night all 29 yrs or under apart from Ferdinand at 32. 4 of them 25 and under. Again excluding the keeper (as he does skew it) average age of outfield players 26.5... If that's ageing, then blimey, God help us!!

Why was Fabregas not playing last night? I had the game on but wasn't really paying any attention, and turned over to Ian Hislop's programme. I did notice though that Man U were bossing the midfield, even though it was an extremely poor game.

 

[Mendoza]

Chelsea vs Man Utd at weekend, and Arsenal at home to Stoke.
Could be tight again if Chelsea and Arsenal win, at least its made MOTD more interesting

They bossed the midfield with their ageing midfield players of 22, 26, 29, 24, 29....

 

[Icy Gull]

Arsenal will fall away now as they do most seasons having threatened early season, I hope we are not gonna mirror that

They rushed him back from injury to even be on the bench. I don't think Wenger wanted to play him at all.

As one of the presenters said, it wasn't a surprise how United played or set their team up. They've played this way against Arsenal for the last good few seasons, Arsenal just didn't have anything special to change things or open them up. They have a terrible record against the other top teams don't they?

Width basically. United flood the midfield, but ensure they have outlets wide to attack on the break, Nani and Park hugging the touchlines. Arsenal's wide players, last night Nasri and Arshavin, continually cut inside playing into United's hands, relying on Cliche and Sagna to add the width, this in turn plays into the counter attacking tactic whereby United continually exploited space in behind the full backs. One day, Wenger will realise his team of twinkle toed starlets (and I love watching them play), can't pass through either Chelsea or United, and need to add some proper width to their team. Arsenal play 5 across the middle, and they are all literally 'across the middle'.

20/1 on Betfair now. Not looking good!
