Ryan Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Absolutely mental that we could be joint top of the league by the end of the year We couldn't. How come? 6 points off first. Liverpool and Man City play each other Damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Arsenal really have to sign a better striker than Giroud in Jan if they want to win the league. Yep. It's not necessarily that he's poor (he's not but when you're up against Aguero/Negredo and Suarez/Sturridge amongst your competitors...) but he is literally all they've got unless you count the Danish Shola. They can't mix it up at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Had first goalscorer, arsenal to win half time/full time, was getting pissed off so put 0-0 on with 30 minutes left got my money back at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 And then the gap was 8 points... Don't do it to yourself, mate. Should I be thinking about it? Im looking at our next two fixtures and thinking we could be within 4 or 5 points by the time we play Spurs in January. Europe is still the priority of course.

Ba would be a brilliant signing for them. He scores all sorts of goals and he does it for fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't translate to goals at a higher level. Andy Johnson, Darren Bent, Yakubu are examples of players banging them in shit teams. It happens and means nothing imo.

That's a fair argument but Ba is clearly on another level to those players. I'd bite my fingers off to have him back here, I genuinely think he's one of the best strikers in the league.
