Well deserved 3 points away from home. really looking forward to when we really start to click going forward I feel it's not too far away. on the penalty decision I can see why it wasn't given but think var and ref both overlooked the fact that the first bit of contact by Kevin which was definitely inside the area was his knee on saka's thigh which caused saka to loose his balance whilst trying to cut inside. they concentrated to much on if Kevin touched the ball or not and totally missed knee on thigh contact. but hey we won away whilst not being at our best. take the win,3 points and go again. still plenty of room for improvement on our behalf.

Defenders ( and football itself) union never a penalty Gabi. Eze was lazy today, we were average but always likely winners. If Gyorkeres is a lemon ( I like him and his industry, goals will come) then Beto and even DCL who you punted a little while ago to do a job for us Ed25 then they are fecking lemon tree orchard!
Forget Leeds who were in Championship then we got 7 points from our fixtures last season whilst this season we have 16. Gyorkeres may not be Haaland but he has played nearly all those games. Maybe we did need a striker and viktor may not score 20plus but with him we are nine points better off COYG.
{Ed025's Note - in the end its just my opinion SUSSEX, you are right about Beto and Barry is even worse, my shout about DCL being an option for you was because he was on a free and you needed a target man mate, mark my words on Gyokeres though mate...if its yellow..looks like a lemon and tastes like a lemon...then its usually a lemon, as i say you have a very good squad but i never thought i would say "come back Kai all is forgiven", i really hope you win the league but i feel scoring goals will still be a major problem..

As they say Ed025 styles make fights! Haaland has scored two thirds of City’s goals and they’ve scored more than us. He is a goal machine. Yet we are top mainly because our defence is top notch! It could be argued if Haaland gets injured C£ty won’t score anywhere near as many goals but take two of our defenders out such is the squad depth Hincapie, Mosquera, White etc would still be a very strong defence. When C£ty beat us to title unfortunately for us Foden scored a bucket load . Going to be a rollercoaster as always and Pool may turn it around quickly! Rarely does one player make such a difference, put Haaland in ours, Pool or Chelski and that team wins the league! Shows how poor C£ty were last season. Was going to say Spuds but that’s positively ridiculous COYG Do strikers win titles or does defence? Guess we’ll find out.
{Ed025's Note - your defence is excellent SUSSEX and even your back-ups are top notch and thats a big advantage over the others, Pool and city are stronger up top and will score more goals for sure and there is not much between the midfields imo, them 2 have better keepers i would say and its going to be fine margins as to who actually takes the title mate, but im saying City will be a poor 3rd..

Top of the table and we all agree we are not yet at our best, exciting thought for us but must be a very scary thought for our competition and their fans.

Very true 62 - but we need to find that gear and Viktor his boots very soon. Great to be top but Liverpool will come out of this patch soon. City are there also. We don’t have 3 months nor does Viktor - as I said. Top of the League - well done as I’ve said before.

Hi SY mate, no offence but i genuinely think your looking too far ahead and finding things for yourself to worry about mate.
As things stand we have the best squad we've had in a very long time. We are top of the table and most people Arsenal fans, neutral fans and pundits agree we are still currently playing within our capabilites rather punching above our true weight which surely has to be good news rather than something to worry about
Obviously the things you say about Liverpool, City and us have the potential to become a reality but equally they have the very same potential to join life's very long list of things that people worried about and predicted throughout history that never actually happened.
As Winston Churchill once said " in life's steeple chase, we can only ever truly jump each fence as we come it " and surely you wouldn't argue with Winnie, would you ????.

Ordinary performance but a great result!

I think our midfield is better at defending ed but agree that we're going to get outscored by most other good teams. I think we had to go for a striker from somewhere and after the criticisms about faffing about near the box, I get why Arteta went for someone as direct as Gyokeres. I think he'll come good eventually, needs to work on his touch mind you.
{Ed025's Note - i hope he does Wire, he was very good in the Championship and also in Portugal but this is the Premiership mate and there are no easy rides..

Hi Sussex hope alls well. if you watch the not given penalty call from yesterday’s game as saka cuts inside. Kevin catches saka’s thigh with his knee which takes saka off balance had that not have happened saka would have been able to be in one off his favourite positions on the pitch. inside edge of box ready to unleash trade mark left footed curler goalwards. saka is travelling at pace slight knee to thigh is more than enough to send you off balance. I can see why people may think the fact Kevin does get a foot to the ball and don’t believe it was a penalty. because he did get a foot to the ball. but only a split second after the leg that said foot is connected to clearly caught saka’s thigh. there was no other reason for saka to go down when he clearly knew he was about to get a shot away on goal. (this is only my humble opinion buddy) . and admittedly would have thought it was harsh if it had happened the other way round and Fulham had got a penalty but would have accepted it because there was enough contact to warrant it. but like I said yesterday. alls well that ends well. we take the 3 points and move on. knowing that even when we aren’t playing too great we are still clocking up the wins… wait till really click up front. COYG/ VTH ?⚪️❤️.

I disagree with you Ed025 - said it a few weeks ago but I think its between us and City, Liverpool are a mess.
Your assessment on gyok may unfortunately prove more reliable, but there's plenty time for the lad and having not spent 120m on him we do have room for future additions.
{Ed025's Note - mine is just an opinion SirW, and i think Liverpool finish above City myself mate, things can change very quickly in this game..
19 Oct 2025 23:19:53
No offence taken at all 62 and I love hearing your view. We both know we need to kick on, that we are not clicking yet however top of league albeit after a small number of games. I’m not worried just stating we need to find 4th and 5th gear pretty soon.
Hope you are good ?.

I would like us to play kai and jesus. We should play to our strength two seasons ago was our best season for a while. N we had no striker use gykroes as sub when things are not going right gykroes will offer something different. Come January hope to strengthen upfront. Until enjoy the season. Top of the table baby.
