Very nice win but don't get too excited. Mourinho will never let Wenger win the EPL. Mou will go to United and lead them to the EPL and Europa championships. Its the Mourinho way. It'll give him the chance to give the middle finger to Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea. Then he'll gut the team and be fired in two years.

Wenger was winning titles back when Mou was doing translation work for Barca. I think Mou's stock is very low - be surprised if Man U took that route but stranger things have happened.

Stop with Wenger and trophies. My kids weren't even born when the invincibles had their run. Mourinho and Pep have the most trophies the last decade by far. Hate Mourinho all you want but he is incredible successful.

I don't hate Mou. Clearly a successful manager but greatly aided by the millions invested by Abramovich and the boards at Real and Inter. Not sure why Abramovich fired him the first time but his players stopped playing for him this go round and the Russian had enough. The Carneiro incident and his suspensions by the FA probably did not help. At least he did not eye-gouge anyone!

Wenger has been at Arsenal since 1997 and has won plenty in that time, most recently the FA Cup in 2014 and 2015. Could have left for Madrid, PSG, France, etc.over the years but remained loyal. Overseen the building of one of the finest modern football stadiums in the world while balancing the books. Gets the team into the Champions League every year. Maybe a barren spell while the stadium debt was being paid off, but that is understandable. The Invincibles: P38, W 26, D12, L0.

The list of players he brought to in to shine in the PL is enormous. Henry, Pires, Vieira, Lunjgberg, Overmars, Petit, Fabregas, van Persie, Toure, Nasri, Cole, Kanu, Ozil, Sanchez, Hleb, Anelka, Wiltord, Lauren, Wilshire, Walcott, Cazorla, Monreal, Suker, Eduardo, Gilberto, Edu... etc. Extended and enhanced the careers of Wright, Bergkamp, Campbell, Adams, Keown, Winterburn, Cech, etc. Should have won the CL in 2005, but Jens and Henry scuppered that...

Always sets out his team to play the right way. Wenger is not above criticism and can be stubborn to a fault (probably will not reinforce the team in Jan) but is up there with Chapman, Busby, Ferguson, Clough, Paisley and Shankly as the best ever to manage in England...
 
Southampton really hammered the Gunners.

Best week of the year is Boxing day until New years. Love all the games. I wonder if Chelsea will be able to put LVG out of his misery tomorrow or if the Chelsea woes continue.
 
Halfway point and it is tight at the top. Arsenal rebounded nicely from the Southampton debacle with a good performance vs Bournemouth. Ozil again MOTM.

Exciting game yesterday between Everton and Stoke. Some great goals, esp. Shaqiri's 2nd. Stalemate today between Leicester and Man C. Spurs are one of the form teams, only two losses. Despite ManC winning their first five, it is wide open.

Hope Arsenal can reinforce the squad in Jan, too many out injured as usual and some tough games in Jan / Feb.
 
Some good games this week, particularly Newcastle 3-3 Man Utd and Liverpool 3-3 Arsenal.

Leicester continue to confound - they are level on points at the top with the Arsenal after winning 1-0 at Spurs.

Today Arsenal finanlized the signing of an Egyptian midfielder from Basel FC, Mo Elneny. Hoping he can help shore things up because shipping 4 at Southampton and 3 at Anfield is not what champions are made of... Although Firmino's second was fantastic (as was Giroud's).
 
Anyone catch the 2nd half of Chelsea/Everton game? Crazy. How about JT scoring one for each team.

Thats what i was thinking as well... when everton kicked the ball deep the match should've ended. And missing that offside call is a bit ridiculous.

If Mourinho was coach they would've had at most 4 minutes of stoppage time and the whistle would've blown 3:10 seconds in.
 
Arsenal is horrible. So overrated. I really hope Leichester wins the EPL.

Costa really owns Arsenal. BTW Sanchez looked really good. Wenger should've started him. Taking off Giroud was stupid. It seems like Wenger just has a brain freeze when he faces Chelsea.
 
I wouldn't describe Arsenal as horrible, and I'm not a fan of theirs by any means. This title race is being defined by missed opportunities for teams to distinguish themselves. Will be interesting to see if Man City or Arsenal can go on a run of 4-5 wins in a row to create some distance.

As a neutral fan I'd love the Spurs to continue their great run of form. They have about 5-6 players who are just an absolute joy to watch. Alli had the goal of the year for my money. Leicester City is a great story but their bum manager Reineri destroyed Greek soccer this last year. I don't want him to be successful at anything.

Arsenal two points in last three games and we keep waiting for Leicester to fade. By the way very sporting of Chelsea to bring on Hazard for final 15 minutes and even up the game at 10 aside. For the record I still think Arsenal win the league although a late season fade wouldn't surprise anyone.
 
Ever since Abramovich came on the scene Arsenal find ways to lose against Chelsea. While Costa made a meal of Mert sliding in, the German should have stayed on his feet and tried to force Costa wide. Only bright spot was Sanchez coming back. Walcott is in a funk and cannot be trusted to start. The midfield duo of Ramsey and Flamini is not working. Need Coquelin back. Maybe we will see Elneny this weekend in the FA Cup.

What about Norwich-Liverpool? That game was insane.
 
LVG reportedly was given the next 2 days off so the club can decide what they want to do. I think he's done. Question is, do you give the spot to Giggs right now, or wait a little longer for the right opportunity?

How about them blues :)
