Certainly looking like the Arseââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s declining performances are continuing halfway through the season. Relying on a defender to score the winner in a game against a team like Portsmouth (no disrespect to them) isnââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t really what you'd call the mark of champions who are hoping to retain their crown. I always knew theyââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢d slip up this season but I wasnââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t expecting it to be so early.
