Arsenal V Man City

21 points behind the leaders after 21 games. Unacceptable

100%.

My greatest fear is that Kroenke / the board are okay with this (and worse) as long as the club remains profitable.

Do not expect anything positive.

And only just over the half way point......something seriously needs to give...I don't know why the regular don't start sticking up banners for Stan out....if nothing is done in this transfer window of a pure signal of intent then god help the whole club..I for one will be making myself herd anyway possible....this is totally not acceptable....

I will give one benefit of the doubt on today's game...a harsh red...and what would have been the 11 v 11 outcome...

Just to add something of slightly different topic...but the away fans prices for today...even they are starting to boycott games..maybe our fans should do the same...start showing one of the reasons we are pissed off...£62 for an away ticket is a joke...travel,program,food,drink, all the usual for a game and your talking hundreds.....not a laughing matter...

Oh and just herd arteta is out for 3 or so weeks....great...

We're shit without Arteta. Not that we're good with him, but he is the biggest leader in that team.

Might be a blessing in disguise as it just might force Wenger's hand in the transfer market.

We need quality and leadership all over the pitch. To think that we are now struggling to hold on to Walcott, a player we deemed to be well below Arsenal standard as little as two seasons ago says it all.

The fans really need to make a statement now - while there is still time and before things really go downhill.

Easy for someone like me to say - having only been to two games and now living half a world away but that does not change the fact that people all over the world care greatly about this football club. The real question is - what can realistically be done?

I'm starting to think our board's full of Tottenham fans...

375 - Passes attempted by Arsenal (season low in the League)

From Arseblog's "by the numbers"

Remembering we did have a red card after 10 minutes...
