11 successive home win's in all comps.
4 PL clean sheets on the bounce.

But no one sees us as serious title contenders Dags. So something must be wrong somewhere. Probably because we have form and I don't mean 11 wins and 4 clean sheets. It's November next month Dags and that is something that also usually goes to form. We don't look comfortable at defending, whatever our results and anyone with an ounce of football knowledge can see why. Until we look more solid we won't be taken seriously. All the pundits have us now outside the top four. The pundits don't win any teams anything but they just don't fancy us at all. Are they all wrong?

Agree Steve,
The 2 Manc clubs look red hot, but as long as we keep plugging along, we have a chance.
I'm not too bothered by the way we play anymore, we lost our swagger years ago, but as long as we keep winning, it's good.

Steve everyone has seen and heard it all before mate, Arsenal under Arsene will never be taken seriously unless we actually deliver a proven unquestionable challenge that sees us in serious contention well into the merry month of May.
Arsene and Arsenal under Arsene have lost the benefit of doubt because most people outside the most biased Arsene fans have any doubts this season will end just like all the others, miles off the pace.
Only Arsene and his players can change that on the pitch because they can say what they like but it won't be taken seriously simply because it's been said 100 times before.

Agree gents, our halo has slipped good and proper.

Steve, all those pundits you're talking about said we will be hammered by Chelsea and they were all wrong.
I'm not saying we will win the league this season but we are having a good run and that will only build the team confidence. Its a ling way to until May but most of those pundits most of the time talk sh**t. So personally I don't listen to what they say as some tried managing and failed badly.

Agree more, But why do they all see so little in us as a force. They aren't always right, no is. But not one of them thinks we are good enough anymore. There has to be a problem with our set up because we haven't been contenders and we still aren't, at the moment.

Sorry predictive, moe.

Hi Moe mate good to hear from you.
I remember Kevin Kilbane being asked last season after beating Chelsea and went on a run if he thought we would win the league, he just smirked in a not direspectful but dismissive manner and half laughing half talking and simple said " no ".
If we want to stop the laughter and the dismissive talk from the pundits we are going to have to prove them wrong sooner or later.
As we stand writing Arsenal off each season has proved a reliable and fruitful business for pundits to make an easy living from.
People don't have to like hearing it but it doesn't make it any less true.
One genuine title challenge would achieve what a 1000 excuses never will.

Moe every now and then a different arsenal turns up in individual games, a few predicted we would get a result a Liverpool and as a result, no one fancied us at chelski. The odd game we do get it right but not enough.

I totally agree, we obviously haven't been a top notch team so I see why they don't see us contenders as well as for us not really sorting out our obvious issue. I'm not saying we will win the title but we are as bad as everyone think, still not good enough for me tho as I want my team to be the best.
