  • I have been critical of our captain

    he was bloody excellent when he came on.

    Not sure if we can find a way with him to have that free flowing role with Eze on the pitch too.
    I'd like to see it.

    Honestly I think we could play like we did the last 10 mins of the Newcastle game against some of the lower teams in the league and finish them off easilly. then shut up shop from there.

    I thought we played well all game, shafted by a **** ref and still came away from an extremely tough away fixture with 3 points.

    Could have done with Potter still being at West Ham though, potential banana skin on Saturday

      We were excellent for the first half an hour and then the game changed completely once they went in front. We continued to chase and threw everything we had at them. We thoroughly deserved the win.

      Most pleasing was Arteta's screaming them all forward in injury time

        Upton Park was always a banana skin for us. Either that or we'd totally murder the bubble blowing East End retards

            Agreed. But don't forget that football is a very different game if you only have to play ten or twenty minutes of it. In that context, all the (relatively) stolid stuff in the first hour of games is perfectly acceptable; possibly actual genius, in fact. Especially with our options.

            It's not that we don't actually WANT to win matches in the first half.
            "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."

              You need to be careful with that. These games are a bit of a hot potato. If you don't do anything in the first half they can turn into a banana skin.

                We don't mind that so long as we bring home the bacon.

                  Agreed. You can't beat a decent kitchen sink, a good cavalry. And very happy that 9 & 10 played the whole match.
