Arsenal

I wouldn't say it's 100% Flamini. They were doing just as well, if not even better with Arteta during 2013.

Anyway, what could stop Arsenal from winning the league? Squad depth? Ye, would've been a fair point one month ago. They've kept on winning even though they have plenty of key players missing. Those players are back from injury soon anyway.

And by the way, they're not back in good form, they've simply continued the good form they displayed during the end of last season.

Never understood why Flamini was sold in 2008 anyway. Financial issues? He's solid as they come in Arsenal's often powderpuff midfield.

We're back in our 2007 form, with a midfield of Flamini/Wilshere/Ozil/Ramsey instead of Flamini/Cesc/Rosicky/Hleb. The difference 100% is Flamini

And another difference is that Cazorla will be starting.

Very good win away at Swansea, thought they would have dropped points. Tricky match next weekend away to WBA, but after that winnable games in the next two before tough fixtures against Liverpool at home and United away which will tell us how far Arsenal have come.

He had a horrible season in 06, almost ending up with him being sold to Birmingham City. Then in 2007 he becomes world class, but at the same time finishes his contract. AC Milan (a club he supported as a child, and where his father's family is from) offered him a giant pile of money, and that was that.

That first goal

Arsenal top of the group and of the league. What a season so far!

This arsenal looks great but apart from a tottenham that was in transition , they havent really been tested. They have tough fixtures ahead between late oct to early jan.If they get past that then ill take a bow.

 

[pEllee]

What? That's just not true.

2-0 Napoli
2-1 Marseille

Or what, those results doesn't count? I could give you recent results from last season but I'm sure those reults don't count either. They have been tested more than enough, and they've past the tests.

This is a winning team.

not to mention Swansea away, where everyone was saying we would draw or lose

Flamini was awesome as the enforcer to Fabregas before leaving for Milan on a free I think. Kind of why I wouldn't mind Mascherano playing that role against a Bayern or Madrid.

Anyway, he seems to be back where he left off but why on earth was he so average for Milan? Come to think of it why do so many Arsenal players become cabbages as soon as they leave for pastures new?

Wenger.

As long as there are no more major injuries I think Arsenal has a chance to win the league this year, and go far in the CL as well.

I'd put them right up there with the best teams in Europe, and Wenger's teams also tend to improve during the season. They have excellent depth in midfield, and some of their midfielders should be able to help at forward. The team has pretty bad injuries right now, so the depth is coming through. Their key guys are Ozil, the amazing Ramsay, and maybe Kocielny and Sagna.

And soon, this magician is coming back. Skip to 4:00 for some great dribbling.

Let's not forget, he was incredible for them last season. It's gonna be a joy to watch Özil and Cazorla together.

Sagna? Been very average the last couple of seasons.
