no doubt, being ahead if even by two points is welcome for gunners' fans but it does not make the title safe and the gunners should ensure to not drop points as well as score more goals.

2 points lead is never enough ...they have to increase on that or it will go to wire with Man Utd and even Chelski breathing down their necks

they are however showing the kind of form that can help them lift the trophy and despite missing van persie and even rosicky they are not buckling or even showing signs of buckling under pressure.

I think they are going to build up the lead, especially with their next match, although with all the injuries...who knows

well, they really blew it and needlessly at that and so man utd are once more breathing down their necks. though i still they might just nick it in the end.

Well with a Captain like Gallas they might as well forget about making space in their trophy cabinet. He is a disgrace as a leader and if Wenger has any aspirations of winning anything he needs to rethink his choice of Captain.

well, i don't exactly know what you mean by his actions which have in the recent past lifted the team especially in the game against utd at the emirates. what exactly is your beef with gallas anyway?

The club captain walks to the oppositions half of the pitch sulking and when the penalty is converted kicks the hoarding like a spoilt teenager not getting his own way. Then following the game looks to blame Clichy (which incidently I believe was very unlucky to have been penalised as he got the ball) and sits like a cry baby on the ground until "Daddy" Wenger comes to get him?
I have seen far too much ranting from Gallas to give me any reason to believe that he is the right leader for Arsenal, how many times has he run 60 and 70 yards to get involved with trivial incidents inciting other players to react???

well, that is a problem with all of the gunners at the moment and even in general like in the league cup last season. it is generally i think due to not being a physical side that comes out in the form of petulance. against birmingham the circumstances were very bad and so i think one can overlook whatever happened that day and especially as the gunners were at the receiveing end. however, gallas does unite his team and that's why he is the captain.

This is a bit like the 'kettle calling the Coal black' isnt it ?
Roy Keane was the biggest instigator of them all even to the extent of 'manhandling' referees in recent times.
