Arsenal are hanging onto the fight for the Champions League position. After a bad loss to Bradford City, Arsenal bounced back to thump 5 past Reading. But in what are continued troubling signs they conceded two goals which could have triggered a Reading comeback. The star of the day for Arsenal was Santi Cazorla who scored a hat-trick. Podolski and Walcott were the other scorers for Arsenal. With this win Arsenal move into 5th spot ahead of Everton on goal difference. Cheers! Ram

Yeeee.. i think Arsenal in the right track now.. but some of problem still haunting this team.. just like, the weak defense.. unstabil performance of the player, in any match the play so well and in another macth, they play so bad.. they have so many young player and they are good, i think they have a big potential, and it can be a really good asset for Arsenal.. hopefully Arsenal will be better than before, and can get the trophy..

Yes, inconsistency is one of the big problems with this team. That is why the loss in the Capital One cup was really hard to take. Cheers! Ram

Of course Arsenal can beat a small team such as Reading. The bigger test now is whether they can get on a run of wins, or if they will drop points in the next matches. Also, we must see how they perform against the bigger teams to see if the y can make the Champions League.

Actually Arsenal now have a clutch of smaller teams with Wigan next I think. Had they won against Bradford City then the mood would have much better as then we would have discussed the revival of Arsenal. But that was a real bad loss. Cheers! Ram

No disrespect to Reading but any clubs with ambition should be winning this kind of game. As rightly pointed out, the disappointment is the two sloppy goals that they concede. For a while, Arsenal look wobbly and memories of the 4-4 draw with Newcastle came to mind. Luckily, Walcott managed to grab the fifth as I would dread to think of the result should Reading pull another goal.

Yes, that would have dented the fragile psyche of the current Arsenal team. They could have ended up dropping points and more importantly would have drifted further. Cheers! Ram
