Watching the game yesterday was a bit like a time warp

Offside flags actually meant offside.

if a goal was given you could be confident it was a goal.

Portmouth fans digging out chants from 20+ years ago.

was quite refreshing.

The 1st ever Arsenal match I attended was at Fratton Park in a preseason friendly c.1981.

Amusing they stopped booing Martinelli after the hattrick....he really should have had 5

Let's hope everyone boos him from now on. Seems to work :-)

Thought Nwaneri had a decent game. MLS struggled again. Really important that he plays against Chelsea. A few starts will really help him. He is still struggling a bit and we are going to need him up to speed.

Nice quick FK for our 3rd. But yes, with Ricky C and Hinchappy out, we've got a LB crisis again. I guess if MLS was injured, we'd play JT there with BW at RB? Or maybe Dec, with MnM taking his place in MF. MnM is a very talented MFer, we just haven't seen it due to injuries, playing up top and signing Zubi for the double pivot.
