Good win for you chaps today.
Re the captaincy, if everyone at Arsenal was fit would Arteta even make the first XI?
Tough one, I'm not sure to be honest. Ozil would obviously be first XI and I think he'd take Jacks place. We have so many options in midfield it really is tough to figure out a first XI. If we get a DM in which I think we do need to do then no. At this moment in time, yes. Re the captaincy, if everyone at Arsenal was fit would Arteta even make the first XI?

Chambers looked okay, think we'll see much of him this year?
Reading Wenger's post match comments without a doubt...he described Chambers as "outstanding" and I have a feeling he 's going to be our third choice CB this season. Wenger also said "TV5 had a lot of choices which tells you how few top quality CB's are available". I've rarely heard Wenger talk in such glowing terms of a player his age and give him as much game time in a position where it's really hard to blood young players....there's no hiding at CB.
There's a lot to be optimistic about but we still need that midfield powerhouse.

Ramsay will be your player of the season if he stays injury free. Wilshere could learn a thing or three from him if he could be arsed.
He came back to the club early to get his fitness up. One of our best players today. Jack has the ability within himto make a lot of people who doubted him look very silly. I've got a feeling he's going to have a very good season.

I am away on holiday so haven't seen any of the game yesterday...did they play 4-3-3 ?
I think that could work really well for us this year against the big teams. Arteta, Ramsey and Wilshere playing behind a three of Sanchez, Ozil and Walcott. Pace to scare teams on the break and enough numbers to compete in midfield.

Seen a bit about it being a weak Man City side....clearly Toure, Dzeko, Jovetic, Fernandinho, Navas, Nasri, Silva etc were all free transfers.
Or did they all cost more than every Arsenal player that was playing yesterday except Sanchez.
The great news is for Arsenal that we're now knocking on the door really hard and there's plenty of room for improvement in our team both in how we play and with having so many young players who are nowhere near there peak.

Yes, I've been lsitening that brain dead neanderthal on Talksport banging on about Man City's weakened team.Or did they all cost more than every Arsenal player that was playing yesterday except Sanchez.

Funny, I could have sworn we were missing 3 world cup winners and a full England international!

Not forgetting the 19 year old CB making only his third start in that position.
My heart bleeds for City, it's a shame they can't buy fans as easily as they've bought success. 15k tickets went begging yesterday. Big club my arse.
No doubt the spin on that is the game was more important to Arsenal. My heart bleeds for City, it's a shame they can't buy fans as easily as they've bought success. 15k tickets went begging yesterday. Big club my arse.

He is a terrible broadcaster/ journalist. I hope they get someone else for the drive time slot.Funny, I could have sworn we were missing 3 world cup winners and a full England international!

Which is true, it probably was. But do you think United or Liverpool would have left 15k tickets unsold? Nah, me neither. Arsenal should be very happy with the result, it was well earned and shows the team is looking good for the new season.
