Arjen Roben in Shock Tottenham Are As Good As Arsenal

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

On paper they have a much improved team but I still think that when both first teams meet we would beat them.

I also dont think RVDV will be as influential as they make him out to be, his best position is behind the striker and Tottenham dont play that system meaning someone will suffer for first team football.

Agree with GunnerDude, no doubt they have improved, but they do still have a fair way to go to catch up with us. And they've had a much bigger budget than us and have got nowhere near the same results as us

Yes, lets all get carried away by the Spuds again shall we ?

No goals scored at home in two games (despite their supposed wonderous attacking options and one of the games being against a team who had previously conceded 18 goals in their last three games)

Two scored at 'pointless' Stoke - one off Bale's face and the other one a strike he would never be able to repeat in a million years

Gallas will now be a regular for the next few weeks alongside Bassong. Corluka and Assou Ekoto, and the two little fat ducks Huddlestone and Palacios

The CL defences of Europe's elite must be quaking

Perspective people please - this is a Dutchman giving praise to his fellow countryman. No more, no less

What position? The season has barely kicked off, ok AW never got a new keeper in but that's not going to make us a bad side, if we make sure we take our chances in front of goal and not drop silly points at places like Stoke,Birmingham, and the likes of Wolves in think we'll be ok. We may still miss out on the title but we'll be above the scum.

Wasn't Robben the one that said that Liverpool will be one of the best attacking forces in Europe after they signed Joe Cole? :coffeespit:

Spurs were beaten, at home, by Wigan. A team who lost their opening two games by conceding ten goals, and scoring none.

P3 W1 D1 L1 P4 (and two of those games were at home)

Let's get a proper sense of perspective here :D

any team that releases a DVD within 24 hours of finally winning their first league game in a decade is clearly not bigger than them. Seriously.

This argument is silly. Arjen is a good player but his 'observation' is inaccurate.

Spurs: improved, but not Arsenal's calibre.

This season will demonstrate that they are punching above their weight (and even then, are still below us - as I've said in other threads). RVDV may make a big impact, but he might also get hurt in 20 minutes and be a flop. We'll see.

What second in the league, and currently unbeaten?

I hope Arsene realises how important this Carling Cup game is to us for bragging rights. If we get mauled again because he's put out the youth team then the shit will hit the fan!
