Took the dog for a walk at half time, expecting us to be back in the game on my return
The never lost a second half trophy has gone.
To be fair the only reason we beat Spurs last time is because they were knackered. They are out of our league.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Well, they certainly were last season when we finished 3 places and 14 points behind them. This season it remains to be seen but given that we pasted them 4-2 not so long ago and are only 5 points back it’s certainly not over yet.
But chin up mate, the rot is behind us now that we finally got rid of that stupid French cund and there is now hope at long last.
You are aware we just went 22 games without losing, are you? Our massive 2 game losing streak has coincided with virtually all of our CBs being injured or suspended and if you watch the goals they all come down to poor play at the back.
All will be well bb, the rot is over and we have a bright future, once again.
I know , i know ...the amount of goals we are conceding is a concern too though . Im just a bit pessimistic on all things Arsenal i suppose . I dont want him to be a manager that just relies on players pressing and running ...i want him also to be able to coach the stupid out of Iwobi , Xhaxa , Ramsey , Bellerin and a couple more
No, I don’t think we did play better, we played them off the park second half, they couldn’t get near us.
But more importantly, I will point out to you for the last time that we finished 3 places and 14 points behind them last year, so getting upset that we lost to them in the league cup with a makeshift back four shortly after we hammered them in the league strikes me as bizarre.
