Martinez has done a much better job than has Pellegrini or Wenger pound for pound.

Arsenal are 3d and closing on City.  Where should they be?  Do they have a better squad than City or Chelsea?

Obviously, they were naive against Monaco two weeks ago, but otherwise, I'd say Arsenal are right where they should be and still alive in 3 competitions.


I posted on here a few weeks ago Liverpool is going to bump United.    And after City sliping up yet again, I can see Arsenal bumping them.
Arsenal wasn't so much naïve as Giroud was accurate inside the 6 yd line.


PFA Player of Year:  Cazorla edges Hazard and DeGea
PFA Young Player of Year:  Harry Kane in a landslide
Manager of the Year:  Koeman

Although I agree that Giroud was profligate in front of goal, I say Arsenal were naive in the first Monaco leg at home by abandoning the style that served them so well in the BPL -- concentrating on defensive shape and coverage and striking on the counterattack -- and playing an aggressive attacking style.  If they had remained faithful to what had worked, they likely would be in the final 8 of the Champions League.

Looking like a Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal parlay for me....

Barcelona 7, Real Madrid 6.

Game I'm looking forward to most... Liverpool over Man Utd. 
Most intriguing... the pace of Crystal Palace vs the organized boring hackers of Stoke.   CP becoming one of my favorite bottom feeders.
