Yeah, I suppose when we're successful there's no need to celebrate, after all it's no big deal!

I'd like to think he is a flash in the pan but 21 goals in all competitions.....and anyone with more goals than Sanchez deserves respect. And about 3 quarters of them haven't been in a mickey mouse cup too..
Well , calling all the demons because we have lost a game , be it a derby , will not change anything at all . We have to look forward to the next game and amend some silly mistakes we made Yesterday which cost us the 3 points .
I was very disappointed after the last whistle but I have quickly moved on .Bring on Leicester .

Sorry mate, you just don't have a clue. This isn't as simple as 'you can't win em all'.
When it comes to the match being materially important, we can't win any of them.
This is bad enough when it's against United, City, the Chavs, Liverpool and even Southampton. But against the Spuds, where we get completely overrun, while seeing zero management. It is fucking unacceptable.
The team should at least turn up for what after 20 years is becoming OUR cup final and give us some pride.
I've become pretty ambivalent about this Club, expecting this team to let me down that it hasn't bothered me when they've done it time and time again.
But I guess I still care because now we can't even deliver when pride is at stake. For all my ambivalence, this hurts because. It is way beyond your can't win em all view, this is about who we are and what this club means.
This club is now defined by capitulation.
Our record in the big games (City, Chelsea, Man ure and Liverpool-ish-) is really bad and we needed to win at a big away ground to sooner or later to prove out worth and we did that. Spuds are a beter side this season but its a local derby and anything can happen, we were absent on the day and thats why i dont think it was significant.
Its also worth noting that you need a bit of luck to go your way and yesterday we didnt really have that (their first goal for example, the ball fell to their best player).
All in all, i think we will show consistancy as we always do in the 2nd half of the season and Wenger knows his precious 4th place is in danger of slipping away so he'll do whats required.
