Not only did we beat City, Arteta’s substitutes created and scored the goal that won it.
Perhaps football analysis should always end with something along the lines of ‘of course as an armchair expert I know nothing compared to the manager’
:-)
Did anybody else scratch their head when Arteta followed normal procedure and didn’t bring on the subs when it went to a corner despite all 3 subs being about 6’3 and good in the air compared to the three 5’8 midgets that were hooked?
Oh, come on, Wes. I always admit I know nothing about football. Only like the ones with cannons on their tîts. But maybe they were all reverse jinxing, in which case, the boys done good.Quote:

Tommy did very well for that - I guess MA is just gonna use him in all these roles until Timber is unfelled.
And your analysis should end with “as a moose bothering syrup guzzler, I know even less” :-)Quote:

Ok. How am I doing ?
Hallelujah. At last someone gets it. Almost like Ganpati's trunk knocked the ball in.Quote:

I'd expected us to sell TP5 cos we needed the cash, but once we kept him, I had a feeling that for tough games we might start with TP5 {here it was Jorgy initially} at DM with Dec playing in GX's old role where Kai's been playing.Quote:

MA's sort of admitted he was wrong to break the Saliba-Gabby partnership and the White-Ødin-Saka axis on the right. Hopefully soon, Rambo gets another chance. And hopefully Kai comes good or we try with Fab and/or ESR there.
You did predict the win, yes.Quote:

All David Dein's fault, both ways. We could still beowned by a board of City-boy Gooners.
