Alan Smith on Arsenal games is just so painful to listen to. The man doesn’t even attempt to hide his bias 

As bad as Carragher on Liverpool and Neville on Man Utd. 

But somehow escapes all the stick.

Should have won that by 3 or 4 really. Good to maintain our 100% record. 

I thought Nketiah was class when he came on, really troubled them. Odegaard was obviously the best player on the pitch, brilliant player. Happy for Gabriel that he scored the winner after his mistake. He was the top scoring CB last season, he seems to have a knack of scoring from corners.

Aston Villa next. I'm not sure if I would risk any of the injured players. Save them for Old Trafford

Far too early for people to be talking about the title. This is why you can’t attribute changing expectations mid-season to overall achievements. Because Arsenal may scrape 4th by the bottom of the barrel this season, get spanked home and away by Liverpool and City, drop out of the Europa League and under these expectations that could be seen as a disappointment to some. But it would be a definitive success.

Arsenal battered Bournemouth, comfortably beat Leicester but the Palace game could have been a draw, as could today, and it’s a completely different narrative.

Arsenal have an extremely difficult 2 months coming up that will stretch their squad to its potential thinnest whilst also challenging the consistency of their peak performances with games against Tottenham, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, City whilst playing away to Brentford, Leeds, Southampton, Wolves and playing 6 Europa League group games with an EFL Cup game thrown in.

Is anyone genuinely talking about the title? The goal is obviously still top 4. Man City will be running away with the title anyway.

Genuinely I don’t think so. But as far as narratives go the suggestion that you could be up for it (which has been suggested on Sky) will likely be used if/when you have a drop off on form

Enjoyed the second half of this down the pub earlier. One of those perfect little Saturday evening narratives for Gabriel to come back from the ridiculous behaviour that gave Fulham the lead to win the match for Arsenal.

Arteta seems to have had that weird knack of making it look for 90%+ of the season that he's transforming Arsenal as a club only to finish 5th without a trophy again. As one of the more likeable "elite" clubs I could get behind that changing this season.

Could be a case of playing their best football too early in the season already.
