It was pretty clear that West Ham were physically two or three weeks ahead of us.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They simply overwhelmed our midfield with speed and mobility, and they did it very well.

If there was a disturbing aspect, it was the apparent lack of drive from Ramsey, Cazorla and Ozil. At 0-2 down at home you're entitled to expect one of those three to pick the game up and carry it by force of will. Perhaps they simply didn't have the legs for it.

I felt so sorry for poor Petr. :-( What a time to make a mistake. Poor bloke.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

He's an Arsenal man now.

[Berni]

regard him as 'an Arsenal man'?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The sight of him flat out on the floor ruefully shaking his head had him installed straight into my heart.

Welcome, Petr.

[Herbette Chapman - aged 15]

nothing my friend NOTHING!

[Peter]

There was no way we were coming back from 2-0 yesterday.

I am not that fussed st the result, more concerned with the lack of otpions and the willingness to dosrupt our midfield just because sanchez isnt playing.

Then there is the walcott situstion.

You can excuse cech's first mistake but i just cannot understand whst he is doing for the second goal. I am comltelty bewildered by it.

[Rich]

better. We can finally stick Olivier on the bench which will give him more time to admire himself.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Then he just got up and carried on as normal.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Snin]

f**k that he said

[Red N White Army]

Position. Then I felt like a c**t as he appeared to have been knocked out. Only to find out later that he wasn't at all, in which case I was then annoyed at him once more.

[Snin]

things, going down, punching ground, moaning..dickhead, I like strikers who just get on with it and if get tackled/brought down, get straight up and try and get back the ball straight away..he just lies and moans

[Red N White Army]

[redgunamo]

Both appalling though, of course. There's hardly any point carrying on if your new goalkeeping saviour is going to go about doing that.

Without that, we win, imo.
