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.

I'm going for 4-1 Liverpool, another Suarez brace no doubt.
By Monday night we'll be back in our favourite 4th place......City and Liverpool will win and then we'll follow it up with our usual weakling display against the Chavs

Can we all remember this clueless Southampton performance next time we're talking up mid-table teams as 'top 4 contenders'????
Southampton were talked up as a brilliant team earlier this season who many said were genuinely capable of getting CL football but the fact they've been on absolutely dreadful form has been overlooked since. Spurs have been ridiculed since September. You'd never guess Spurs are 6 points ahead of them now.
Exactly the same will happen with Everton - they'll start quietly slipping down the table and everybody will conveniently forget how they were supposedly the real deal in early December. Just like SteveO's top 4 tip West Brom. These teams only get coverage when they're doing well, people wouldn't have the same perceptions of them if they were judged to the same standards as the big clubs over the course of a whole season.
Also although Gary Neville is better than most pundits let's not ignore he changes his views like the wind just like everyone else.
In the first half when Lloris swept up an overhit pass he said how Lloris was one of the best around at reading those situations. When he made the error for the second goal Neville then bleated on about how he had a tendency to impulsively get drawn off his line and it was costing goals. Which one is it??
He just about managed to maintain his erection at the end of the game about what a talented bunch of players Spurs had. Was he saying that a fortnight ago or was it that they desperately lacked quality? And will he be saying it when they finish the season in 7th?
Massive blow for whoever loses tomorrow especially if Everton beat Swansea now. Be top and stick one on Chelsea, or be 4th hovering above the Europa spot
