Wenger learned from last summer and bought early this time and had his team ready for the start of the season.
We'll never learn.

His polish descent means 'podolski', 'podolsky' and 'podolskiy' are all likely acceptable names and deviations.

Arsenal havent conceded in their first three games. First time since 1924.

Ahh yes sorry: Podolski. One reason I have not mentioned Mertesacker in this thread (because I was lazy and did not wanted to double check it!). But thanks for that love to be perfect like you ;) By the way it is 'misspelling'.

If that's true then that's a lesson to me. I only went off the most commonly used spelling that I've seen.

Except Everton are more the Spurs of Merseyside. Stupid tacos.

Almost obvious that Arsenal would win today, why? Brendan Rogers is having the same difficulty with Liverpool that AVB appears to be having with us. He has them capable of playing good football and achieving results but most of the time the side fails to deliver anything meaningful and this leads to questions being raised about his long term suitability to the club.

Arsenal are the West Ham of Woolwich, then.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

But in all seriousness, Arsenal today showed exactly why implementing a tactical system will reap dividends in the long run. Arsenal's current style of play has been in effect since they moved into the Emirates, with minor changes. And, despite countless changes of personnel, bad starts, injuries and simple bad luck, they've still finished in the top four for every season since that move. Because they have an ingrained style of play, a fluid system, that allows them to cope with wholesale personnel changes and still remain effective.

Relying on individual brilliance, like Harry did, will always be a temporary solution. But an implemented system, under a manager willing to stick around long enough to see it through; that will last for as long as the club decides it wants it to. See Moyes, see Wenger....hell, see Pep.

People constantly try to find excuses to make them feel better - let them - they did it last year with Arse and 'RVP will get injured - one man team blah blah fudging blah'. They think about the negatives but ultimately how can we talk when theyre ahead of us and just beaten Liverscum at Anfield whilst we struggled in our three games.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

I think after today Villa are going to be rock bottom. Their line up looks terrible.

It is also because Wenger knows exactly what kinds of players will deliver in the system he plays. Cazorla, Arteta, Ramsey, Diaby ( -Wenger doesn't think attacking or defensive midfielder - he wants his midfielders to be able to do both.

AVB looks like he has a system of play but doesn't have the key players to make it work. Unless Dembele is going to be the playmaker.
