Form at the end of last season, top of the league atm, only lost to Villa because they were down to 10 men.
Top of the league, but have a lot of injuries. Got as good a chance as any

I don't see that they're worth the hype. They lost against Villa, they were lucky against Sunderland (the Altidore disallowed equaliser) and they had less possession than us, when we were looking disjointed ourselves. And to think that this is a team that's not in transition.
I fully expect them to contend strongly for a top 4 place but they won't be anywhere near a title challenge this season.

25 minutes left, a goal down. Yeah, foregone conclusion that they would have scored if they didn't get a man sent off...
They've bounced back impressively since then and obviously added a top class player in Ozil, but they still have plenty of weaknesses and problems.
Not at all. Arsenal have had much better teams than they do now - ones that would laugh at the idea of Walcott an Wheelchair being starters. Those teams couldn't get near Utd either so this one has no chance.
And their midfield couldn't get the ball from us, neither could they get through us. They just put everyone behind the ball and hit it over the midfield on the break.
Podolski can only worsen their attack and whilst Arteta is twice the player Flamini is, he'll only make their midfield more lightweight.
Not sure, but we've fixed our long term problems, Arsenal haven't. I know where I'd put my money if I were a betting man.
I don't believe they have any more first teamers missing than we do. Probably no more than most teams and certainly no more than we've averaged over the last few years.
And there's no way fivehead would have got to that ball - Lennon would have struggled.

Doesn't matter anyway.
We will both finish top four and neither of us will win the league.
No point denying they're set to go up a few levels now they've paid the stadium off and have appeal again now ozil is there. They'll get some like like Reus.
We are on upward trajectory too.

A gooner at work was asking me if I would accept a 2nd place finish if it were behind Arsenal as Champions...

Did you tell him to sod off?
They are really reaping the benefits of a settled squad that is very familiar with their style of play; Ozil fits them like a glove too. Regardless of talent, just about everyone else this season except maybe Liverpool has to contend with new managers or styles or a ton of new players (us).
I don't care how they do, I just hope we settle in quickly and not have to rebuild yet again.
Doesn't that just mean their next defeat is sooner rather than later?

What's our form like in the same time period?

In the same period of Arsenal's last 18 games.
