We had a couple of chances but they fell to Walcott, so no, we had no chances. It was all another tip, tap routine. Tip, tap, tip, tap, punctuated by the rare pass into dangerous territory. But our players are drilled to look sideways, backwards, to take the extra 5 touches. It's grim anti-football. A more technical version of Maureen at his worst but with far less effectiveness. The worst football I have ever seen from a team that is capable of doing far better. You can forgive the dire football played by genuinely shite teams because they just don't have the talent. But you can't forgive it when a team like Arsenal, stuffed with talent, chooses to rob the fans by playing like that.

Yes. But we must remember we are only 2 games through a new season. Any minute now, everything will change.

Oh yes, it's true.
