Already 9 pts behind liverpool, 6 behind Chelsea (game in hand). Away games at City/Chelsea next. I think they'll get 4th place over Villa, but the other top 3 teams have stronger and more complete squads. |

Only the Champions League and FA Cup left worth winning, and I'd definately prefer the Champions League. Congratulations Kurt, you guys deserved it. |

Can't really say. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Arsenal were tops last season before the winter break, and look where they ended. It isn't exactly as lethal as to say no chance, if they keep on winning they could turn out to be decent contenders for the top spot. Villa isn't exactly a mid-table team right now - wait and see how they handle other big guns this season.

Come on, we've lost a total of NINE points to Hull, Stoke and Fulham and another FOUR to Tottenham and Sunderland. That's 13 wasted points, nothing even close to top quality. |

Villa isn't exactly a mid-table team right now - wait and see how they handle other big guns this season. Our record vs the big 4 hasn't been too bad, in our last 10 away games vs the big 4, we've lost only 4. So far this season we drew 0-0 with Liverpool, lost 2-0 at Chelsea, then won 2-0 at Arsenal with United at home next week. Maybe Fergie was being serious when he said we could win the legaue?

Just curious as to what you think, and I'm not saying this because I dislike Wenger: Do you think it's time he left? It's been 3 or 4 seasons now without a trophy and your squad doesn't seem as strong as the other teams in the big 4, Wenger does have a habit of letting your best players go, I'm amazed personally that the Arsenal fans get so behind him. |

anybody who can watch the chelsea-w. brom game, you can get a look at Ivanovic. He's partnering Terry today.

It's been 3 or 4 seasons now without a trophy and your squad doesn't seem as strong as the other teams in the big 4, Wenger does have a habit of letting your best players go, I'm amazed personally that the Arsenal fans get so behind him. Lets put it this way; he'll have to pull of something pretty damn impressive before June in order to make peace with the fans. He's a shadow of his former self and he keeps spoon-feeding us that tedious talk of how consistently finishing in the top 4 is more important than winning the odd trophy and how good our youngsters are and all that. Our main problems at the moment are: 1. Playing Fabregas when it would have been more effective to wheel out whatever's left of Alan Ball and dumping it in the middle of the pitch. 2. Using Bendtner as a lone striker. The guy isn't as hopeless as some people think, but he never works as a lone striker. NEVER. 3. Confining the obvious talent of Carlos Vela to the Carling Cup and 20-minute league appearances. 4. The lack of a midfield other than Nasri. 5. A lack of players who can score from 1-on-1s. 6. A lack of a real star player. Adebayor has returned to being medicore, Fabregas has started to decline at the age of 20 and even if Walcott will be England's best player in a 4-5 years time that doesn't mean sh*t at the moment. 7. When the team are playing great, Almunia is sure to concede 4 goals (Tottnham, Liverpool last year), and when Almunia has a great day the defence is sure to provide as much defensive protection and mobility as a badger that has just been run through a combine harvester (Gallas trying to catch up with Agbonlahor for the second goal).

Pretty much agree with them all. Arsenal need a manager who wants to win, Wenger only seems to want to win.. if it doesn't cost too much. Look on the brightside, Locke, at least you don't have Gomes in goal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Has there ever been a worse keeper in the Premier League?
Anyways, Albion 0-1 Chelsea. Bosingwa with an AWESOME goal. EDIT: 0-2, Anelka. Well, he's certainly proving me wrong this season, he can't stop scoring! Who needs Drogba? EDIT 2: 0-3, Anelka again. His 12th league goal of the season in his 13th appearance. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Nov 15 2008, 07:29 PM |

Sagna will be out for a few weeks after injuring his ankle. Just what we needed.
