Read Henry Winter's match report against my better judgment and he was surprisingly

upbeat. The Five Live people - at least at half-time - had us scoring against the run of play, lucky to be in front and Rob Holding, in particular, was having a nightmare. Everywhere else, has us in complete control and most players impressed, including Holding. Is it just a BBC thing?

The Guardian is all about the gulf in quality between the Prem and the lower leagues, managing to praise our performance without attributing us any credit for it, which is quite the trick really.

It may well be. Forest had a decent start for 10 or 15 minutes but after that no-one who was watching the game could seriously suggest we were second best - stats tell a fairly accurate story. It was end to endish stuff but we looked far more dangerous.

We won 4-0, there's no way Winter would write a match report that wasn't consistent with the score. Wait until we batter Chelsea for 90 minutes and they score a late equaliser on Saturday.

His match report will have your blood boiling.

I'll know better than to read that one though WES. I was actually slightly surprised he was covering our match last night hence I started reading the report before I saw the byline. Of course I recognised his vomit worthy prose fairly quickly

Oh and he had us down for only receiving one pen last season :muppet:

I remember a time when Henry Winter was rather pro-Arsenal. How times change.

Have you watched MotD over the past 5 or 6 years?

They do realise that there were two premiership sides knocked out of the EFL Cup thingy by lower league sides last night?

Yes, I'm not sure where that fits into their narrative. It's a conspirass, that's what it is!

:shrug: Bof! Everton and Bournemouth, isn't it.

Second in the table in shock defeat to lower league opposition.

I'm happy The Arsenal is bigger news than Everton, to be honest.
