        Annoyingly , yes. Mainly because West Ham are so bad but if you're looking at form then A Young or RvP imo.

    Question?!?
    Is Lampard the only player to score 10 or more goals in seven straight seasons ever?? He might grab it for the eight straight this year...
    Is this a record or is there someone else??

      He's a first choice starter when 100% fit this season. Only concern is that he's just back from injury and has played 2 games since Sunday so Arshavin could well start.

          Yeah, he usually drops/replaces Theo if things aren't going well becsause he's "technically inferior" to likes of Samir tippy tappy Nasri...Bloody annoying, I'd play him every time, no matter how bad his touch was. Premiership is made for direct, penetrating players

            Actually I think you will find it is because Theo is most effective when teams try and have a go at Arsenal as he has space to get in around the back of the defense.

            For the teams that sit back, tippy tappy Nasri has a much better ability to pick the defense when faced with two banks of four on the edge of the box.

            Sound tactics, good manager.
