Best Defensive Pairing in the EPL

Remember the time when I thought the Spurs are going to finish in the top 4? And then I backtracked...

Boy do I want to backtrack on that backtrack. As an Arsenal fan, I'm a bit worried. Those two Belgians are really, really good. And Eric Dier too.


All the Belgians belong to us!

Ya Dier has been a revelation as a holding midfielder. 

Its a shame tottenham didn't get a win this past weekend against Everton after hitting two inside posts.  they dominated that game and were super fun to watch. 

Dele Alli is the man as well.  Kid is only 19 but plays with no fear

What happened to Nabil Bentaleb? Isn't he one of those wonderkids? Is he hurt or just out of form?

And yeah, I like Dele Alli. The next Steven Gerrard.

Bentaleb was out of form then hurt.  honestly Alli and Dier just outplayed him.

Ah. But if you think about it.

Alli - Dier - Bentaleb - Eriksen (although he plays on the left right now). All under the age of 24.

Assuming Bentaleb goes back to form, your Central Midfield is set for the next 10 years or so (assuming they keep them).

Dier, Alli, eriksen will be kept, I think Son and Lamela will man the other spot over bentaleb. 

Alli has proven that he can play both a central defending midfield role or central attacking.  Bentaleb really only had the central defending position. 

Ryan Mason and Bentaleb I think are guys that will get playing time in cup competitions but not much else right now

Oh wow, what a turn and goal by Giroud. Left Toure for dead.

Although we blew it there a bit, what a game of football this was. Just could not clear out in the end. Darn it. This was a perfect opportunity to be way clear on the top, especially since City drew, now we're tied with Leicester. But what a game.

Let 3 points slip away again. Joe Allen...? Really?

This after another great game from United and Newcastle yesterday. We are treated with good football this week.

So... Charlie Austin...

I can't believe no one even considered taking him during the summer window...

I saw a rumor Guardiola met with Manchester United officials.

In my opinion, and I don't mean to be reactionary but, it'd be foolish of Arsenal to not even consider him.

Leicester City destroyed Manchester City today.

This run is starting to look like it's real.

Oh, it's real - bank on it.  The Foxes were tremendous today, all credit to them.  They don't have Euro football the rest of the way, but the four clubs directly behind them do, if memory serves.  The only club that can catch them now is probably Spurs.

It is vs Bournemouth, but a good win for Arsenal, a much needed 3 points. Ox finally putting one behind the net, hopefully this boosts his confidence.

The Flamini and Ramsey midfield doesn't work. Coq is already fit, we need to sit Flamini.

Tottenham into 2nd place.  Is this real life?

BOO!  ;)

Then again, I can't say I'm surprised. I did retract my previous statement, but I thought the Spurs early on are a squad that can contend for the top 4 spots.

Tottenham scares the Gunner out me, I swear. There's one more Derby coming up, we better show up...

They scare me too, especially after they dismantled City 4-1 earlier this season.  By the way, I believe we host them next weekend.  Maybe our collection of living fossils and moving statues will locate an energy source before then...

Leicester 1 - 0 over Arsenal.

Martin Atkinson is the Foxes best player so far.
