Not so good.
But we've woken up at least. I bet you those possession stats have plunged now we are doing something worthwhile with the ball.
What a load of rubbish! Theo better get his act together second half.
Just woke up (it was a late night).
What the fuck? Come on Arsenal. We need to capitalise of Spurs dropping points earlier!
HT. Pathetic. One step forward, two back in Wenger LaLa Land.
Probably one of the easiest half's of football Middlesbrough will play all season.
1 shot on target, but 72% possession :bow:
Watching those replays again it's amazing were not behind.
Come on Arsenal. :bow:
Right, let's make this our half, we could still get the goal fest if we're on 'em quick.
Sanchez smacked in the mouth.
Straight back into the same shit. That 72% possession would have delighted the old has-been. More of the same then.
Should have been red for Ayala but his name is not Xhaka.
Hard to know how Kos missed that. Open goal.
we're wanting to much time on the ball in their box.
Boro were fouling left right and centre against Watford last Sunday.
So Boro up to 100 fouls. Soon there may be a yellow card.
Valdes saves from Alexis.
Yeh but they're not cynical ones, not at all!!!!!Quote:

I've seen loads of those since Xhaka was sent off. It makes me mad!Quote:

Valdes not even challenged. Easy catch from the corner.
Shocking from us.
Cech saves from Traore. :bow:
Theo has gone awol again. Come on Theo, we need you
Same shit again.
We win this, we go top. Is it too much for this team to do that? We are leaving ourselves wide open at the back.
It's not that ew don't know how, we don't try. To play a slow, possession focused game against a team determined to defend is just about as insane as you can get. You must have pace, must have directness, must be prepared to lose the ball if necessary in order to make things happen. Either Wenger orders them to play precisely the wrong way or else all these players are fuckwits. Pretty damn sure I know who the culprit is.Quote:

Ref needs to keep an eye on these time wasting tactics.
Mustafi booked. :bow:
That would have been a red last week.
So last week it was a red but only a yellow today? :unsure:
Bloody hell, come on Arsenal! This team was absolute rubbish last week, we have made them look good and now they are good.
Alexis fluffs it.
Mustafi booked for doing what Xhaka did. More proof Xhaka's sending off is not a real rule.
Just hit the fucking thing!
Iwobi off
Lucas on
Theo, you have the pace. Why pass it back when you can run at the defence and be in on goal?
Iwobi off, Lucas on.
Sanchez chose today to impersonate Walnut
