I don't know what's wrong with Gervinho, he played really good before he left for the Africa Nations Cup, now he looks like a shadow of himself. Rosicky is a bit burned out too along with RvP, thanks heavens we have Song and Koscielny to take care of business at the defensive end.

If that was Rosicky burnt out then I'd love to see him fresh, he was f***ing quality today! If only we had 2-3 more sparks of quality around him and we'd be a lot higher up the table...

I always feared we would be held today. Still, At least we did not lose.
I want Carl Jenkinson back in a Arsenal shirt next season.

3rd place is still in our hands, we gained ground on Newcastle who out of the others battling it out for CL spots have looked the most threatening team recently. Lets take the point, move on and beat Norwich next week to put us on the brink.

Oh, and was nice to see Chamakhcome on and look vaguely usefull

He never had the end product before or after ACON. TBF today he looked lively in the first half, missed a sitter which could have sealed our third place and went completely missing in the second half. He is clearly the last in the pecking order when it comes to our wide players. He was supposed to be Na$ri replacement but i am afraid he is not even half the player Na$ri is. Na$ri himself has been no great shakes this season yet has scored 9 goals and 6 assists. Wenger's habit of ALWAYS replacing players on the cheap always lands us in hot soup.

Missed the game. Dad turns up at 10 to 3 demanding I help someone move into her new flat, didn't get back til 8. I'm more annoyed I left the TV on

Looked like a typical Stoke game from MOTD 3 minute highlights, complete with the disgraceful monkeys that pass for fans up there

no we are 3rd because we have 66pts
it would have been enough for us to be 3rd anytime in the last 3 seasons.
in the league you run your own race and we are running ours better than 17 other teams
if we get 3rd its because we earned it

And Newcastle can forget about goal difference. The gap is 17 now.

it was never an issue
had we won our last 3 games it would have been a minimum of 16
newcastle had not won 10 games in a row in 19 years
had never had a 16 goal difference in 4games ever
had not won at stamford bridge in 25 years and have not beaten man city in 6 years
i believe chelsea will get 4th and st totteringhams day could well be wednesday
