I'd say more than that. Football is an emotional game and that's what makes debate interesting...Quote:

Suarez, again, different class to everyone else on the pitch.
Anyway, as I said - I'm finding it hard to care; hopefully Everton should be less threatening so we've got a real chance of making it to the semi finals.
Referees are part of the game. Suarez is happy to use that route to get a result. We've had plenty go against us this season when we've dropped points. We were lucky but still showed spirit to make best use of that luck.Quote:

We've definitely had far more games where we've been unlucky with decisions - no argument there. I just think that this performance isn't really a recipe for success either; i.e. don't read too much into it. The defence looked uncharacteristically shaky as well, especially Mertesacker who seemed to be getting caught out constantly. I guess there wasn't much else we could do today - we had decent pace out there and a good attitude so that gives us a good chance.Quote:

Very little steps. Fabianski made some important saves to keep us in the game. Just glad we're not heading for a replay.
Can't read much into that game. Just hope some performances have opened Wenger's eyes and he has more confidence to start some players.
One of Ox or Gnabry MUST start every game until the end of the season, as the pace and directness is essential to our chances.
We're still not playing great, but when we put in the effort like today, you get rewards.
Suarez is a cunt. Highly talented, but a cunt nonetheless.
Fantastic results. Absolutely love it.
This has to be ranked as our best win in however long, as it has totally pissed off the cretins masquerading as pundits. They are completely gutted and can't get over the fact that Webb didn't fall for that cheating beaver's theatrics twice.
Welcome to the board :tiphat:Quote:

Worth keeping him upfront? Or is that just an irrational reaction to being fed up of Giroud? Obviously Giroud is much better with the ball, but Sanogo seems to have the physical strength to get himself involved more IMO.
Thank you! :):scarf:Quote:

sanogo did alright... although does remind of carlton cole and that's scary.
great result and nice to set a decision for us as that was a penalty any day of the week. Everton home next so at least we got a home draw. City will bash Wigan and they are the only decent team left.
Quite exciting when you think that he has been out for such a long time! At last, we have some options! (Sanago, Giroud, Podolski, The Ox, Bendtner). Time to get excited??Quote:

Great result though against a bang in form Liverpool team. Would love to win it this year. It would certainly be deserved if we get past Spurs, Pool, Everton and probably City.
Everytime we get smashed we respond well
Clean sheet against the reigning champions and a win against Liverpool in the cup.
It's ON!
Wenget putting some turds in their places:

on Jose Mourinho's comments…
I am embarrassed for him, honestly. First of all I would say that I didn't speak about him at all in my press conference, and I have no more to say… I am more disappointed for Chelsea than for me. I am not interested in the subject at all, and that is really genuine. If you are interested, and you have nothing better to do in your life, you are free to do it. But honestly, I cannot force my interest in things that are not interesting for me. I love football and I'm sorry to disappoint you, but what interests me is what happens on the pitch.

on Olivier Giroud being rested…
He looked a bit tired and… I know where you [the reporters] want to lead me, slowly but surely… he has made a statement and we will deal with it internally. I don't think there is much more to add to that because I want to respect his privacy as well. I haven't seen it [his statement].
:lol:
Wenget :bow:.
The Epitome Of Class.
Looks to me like Wenger's a bit rattled there. #martinsamuel #wheresmyburgergone
Well done boys! Time to break the other of Liverpool's heart
Watching that press conference, you can tell Jose lost his cool. Was reading on Bleacher report how he's king of the mind games. Not after that move.Quote:

He's a dumb arse. He totally distracted the ref from the actual incident. Who wouldn't be riveted by theatrics like that?Quote:

A lot of people are really gutted over this result. That's a whole week of crisis headlines just gone. Precious headlines that could have distracted from Maureen's meltdown of a week.
Doesn't it feel all the more satisfying :)Quote:

Tbf, that is phenomenal rotation.
Only himself to blame.
Best part about today was Wenger's comments about the cunt Mourinho... "I am ashamed for Chelsea" :haha:
If we are not to win the title, I'd hope it'd be anyone but Chelsea's.. the despicable one!
