Clichy 'scored' a deflected goal which was then correctly given as a Steinsson own goal.
But my point was that Clichy would never be a danger to opposition defences (without the aid of huge deflections, of course).

Chance to build a bit of a gap: check
Playing a team we should beat on paper: check
Time to mess it up? That's a big check
Sounds a bit self inflicted again by not playing players in their natural positions. (made worse if they are pretty shit players to begin with...)
Saw bits of the game on a really choppy stream and from what I saw we were 2nd best for large spells of the game. Today is a prime reason why we are still very very short of being a title challnging team and why we need to be very careful with the fixtures in the run-in, I do not want to see us undo all the good effort we've put in lately by collapsing and finishing outside of the top 4.
I knew our spell would end at some point but I didn't expect us to lose today and certainly not in the manner we lost.
I still do not understand Arsene sometimes, why he feels the need to accomodate Ramsey in the team & on the left when we had 2 credible options on the bench is just a plain mystery.
Despite all of that we're still in a good position, we do have some very difficult games coming up so need to be on the ball for the remainder of the season. The game against Chelsea could prove very crucial and I do not like the fact Chelsea are picking up form now.
First game with the pressure off and the lads take it easy. Plenty still to be learned then. We really don't know how to go for the jugular. A win today and the spuds would have packed it in. Now we transform a potential 6 point gap into 3 points to draw level. Stupid. We fell off the tightrope because we weren't paying proper attention. We always take these games too lightly. Wenger still believes we have enough in the squad to rotate things. We don't. We barely have 11 decent players. Ramsey isn't one of them this season. Good job it's City next week. It could have been two losses on the bounce of we had another easy game.
vermaleans garbage.
the boys been found out. ridculously overrated player.
we need a new CB because this guy is a squad player only.
What was it, five massive wins and the one careless loss. TV gets a couple of vital goals during the winning streak and plays solid at the back, PLUS, he gives 100% effort. Now he fucks up and he's out. Wenger is in, five games later he's out again. We were never going to win this league. I'm amazed we are third and hoping we can hang on to it. I expected us to finish between eighth and tenth and that's the way it was shaping up for a while back there. We were missing out on Europe, probably missing out on signings as a result, probably losing our best player too. Now all that has turned around. We have a chance to reverse all those negatives and turn them into positives and we aren't even going to have to wait until the last day of the transfer window this time around, Podolski is on his way. So why are we doing the everyone is shit, everyone needs to GTFO routine again. This season is a lucky escape, we should be thanking our lucky stars (and to be fair they put some effort in to).
Tbf after BOBNs previous shockers, RVP better than Bergkamp and Gervinho better than Nasri, :lol: what he says can be taken with a pinch of salt.
However there is an element of truth in what he says
Verm has been a bit shit lately. His goals lately has clouded his shitness at the back in recent times but apparently they came to the fore today. He'll be fine with Mert but unfortunately the big German is out for the season so hoping Kos and Verm can do well for the remaining games and keep us top 5
but its okay cause we've had a good season and wenger will turn it around next year :lol:
mugs :haha:
Who's making mugs of us? Vermaelen? We haven't spend £500mill on transfers. We haven't got £200mill coming in from Chinese sweatshops. We actually make profits in the transfer window. We construct our own glass ceiling every year. If we finish third that's the absolute most we could expect under those circumstances. Look upstairs if you want to find who's taking the piss.
