Every season we have a fair run (against some ordinary sides) and everyone almost starts believing we can win things. Wake up, the squad players, at the top level are...Not good enough. Wenger is deluded. Eboue, Almunia, Traore,Song,Bendtner,Denilson,Diabyetc.will not win us trophies. Its been 5 years now, get real and admit it, we are not good enough year in year out, who says so? The trophy cabinet! Deja Vu. Every season we have a fair run (against some ordinary sides) and everyone almost starts believing we can win things.

Thank you. I also agree with you that the absence of Van Persie appeared at any rate to make a big difference. We lacked that 'catalyst'. The urgency. I guess we all hoped we'd cope without him but - well, it looked like a tired and subdued performance. I thought Fab looked very weary and lacking his usual inspiration. Bloody Internationals. We were in red hot form previously but looked a shadow of that for this game. Yes, it was always going to be a big ask going away to Sunderland after the break and, as AW said, they may well have won had the game been at home - but it wasn't and they didn't. So they failed ultimately, whichever way you slice it. I don't believe we'll win the league - and never have this season - because I'm sure there'll be other failures and disappointments ahead - but I'm hoping the Gunners can pinch one of the lesser trophies this season - like The Champions League! Up the Arsenal! @ Okpanachi – I love your expression – “unleach wicked hatred on his person” That is superb, mate. Thank you.

Regarding Ramsey: he's 18 and sometimes 18 year olds will have games like those. He's obviously desperate to impress and perhaps the psychology of the situation is having an impact on him. I'm much more concerned about Rosicky and Nasri, players who have been there and done that, to be honest. @ GetGunMN – Good points.

It deflects off him and came back perfectly for Bent, I don't know what Almunia could have done about that. I believe there were a few other excuses we can have this time. Our pivot of attack is obviously missing, RVP that is. Edwardo, Rosicky, Nasri need more games to be sharp. Troure is relatively new and back from injury. International break and playing away game. All these factors came in at the same time. Did you notice sometimes when Fab had the ball he looks up and both Nasri and Rosicky were just hanging out, not open, but just around? I don't get what Ramsey's issue is, really though. Is he trying to impress so badly that things don't come off for him? Around the hour mark we seemed to run out of ideas or we just run out of energy. We really looked stale. At the end, after the subs finally came in, for the few crosses we had, there was no one in the box to meet them. we looked really tired. If we beat Chelsea, come this weekend, all this negative vibe will disappear. Whether we like it or not, there are a lot riding on this one. Slow down Chelsea, get some believe in ourselves and get our confidence back, we might as well win over some critics too. Because Chelsea is almost the polar opposit of Arsenal in everyway, if you will. They are taller, physically stronger, boring, older, and efficient. Otherwise Prof. Wenger will become superstitious about November, and who wants that? For me, it wasn’t even the goal that worried me as Campbell didn’t know what hit him.

Sunderland is another one of those games. The stats will show that we conceded from their only shot on target, but to expect Almunia to claim what was a near perfect corner (flat, hit with pace and curling away from the keeper to land roughly 9 yards from goal) is ridiculous. He did all he could on the goal, was faultless for the rest of the game (for the little he had to do) and there's not much more to it. I don't mind criticism of Almunia but it loses credibility in my eyes when he is blamed for moments he completely does not deserve.

Purely through footballing eyes, i cant see how yr boys are going to get the 3 points with the injuries you ave. Chelsea were without some big players but still looked so powerful. Song will ave his work cut out keeping Essien,Malouda,Ballack,Mikel, and Lampard quiet. Not that they are all going to be on at once. GOOD LUCK THOUGH Eve all,
