Chelsea 1 - 0 Bristol City

When a win feels like a loss! I meant to play E in this one as I fully expected a the counter from Bristol but I must take full responsability for a balls up with my sheet in the conditionals which meant we switched to A in minute 1 and got countered for most the game. It looked like the game would finish a bore 0-0 draw, but Bristol suddenly switched away from the counter very late in the game which gave us an opportunity and Firminio scored to basically steal us a win here. But I'm kicking myself at the potential loss of a bigger win and lost abs. C'est la vie.

Tottenham 2-2 MANCHESTER UNITED

Both teams missing players obviously affected the game, but I'm frustrated with us conceding 2 goals from playing a back 5. But otherwise I thought we deserved more in the game in the end despite trailing twice but I guess we once again have to look at our wasted chances. Spurs came for a point and to maybe nick a win and they are certainly the happier of the two sides, but for us it's points dropped and already more ground behind City. But we'll go again Monday and hopefully put it all right.

Liverpool 0 Newcastle 0

Another game where we comfortably out shot the opposition but as has been the case of late we just couldn't hit the back of the net, Newcastle's keeper turning in a man of the match display in the process. If we keep out performing the opposition and having the likes of 20 shots in a game I have to believe that lady luck will eventually turn and we'll start winning but certainly at the moment it just feels that no matter what we do it won't work.

Maybe we need to create next to shag all and the goals will start to flow again as seems to be the case for some other teams.

Well played though to the Geordies, they came and had a proper go so you have to give them credit for that and it wouldn't have been a massive shock if they'd nicked it.

Next up a trip to the unpredictable Hammers who have been putting together a good unbeaten league run.

Arsenal 3 - 0 Barnsley

A fixture that in recent seasons has proven to be a lot harder than many at Arsenal would have wanted and after losing the same fixture last season, it was all about avoiding that trend which The Gunners well and truly did by picking up a three nil win. A game in which Arsenal really were at the races, they were up for the battle from the off and goals from Aaron Hickey (2) and an own goal from Edgar ensured Barnsley returned north with nothing and Arsenal pick up a good solid win plus a clean sheet to boot.

The Arsenal boss gave his thoughts after the game ;

" At the season start we have to be ear marking games like these as must wins and that's no disrespect to Barnsley but we should be but we have seen in recent seasons that they are a tough team when they want to be as we saw last season. There cant be many arguments about this result today, I thought we were very good and played well throughout, created plenty of chances and kept tight at the back, A shame that the front lads didnt get in on the goals but the result was what mattered ".
