And we go behind to their first attack. :-(
Cracking goal, to be fair. Not great from the centre backs...

Out of the title race by the start of November. Arteta is going to be under a lot of pressure now :-(

It is going to take an enormous improvement for us to get anything at chelsea. Then there is another ****ing international break.Quote:

Easier run of games coming after the break but that means little if we keep playing like this.
