Not bad first half. Encouraging.
No contradiction really. I support Arsenal and want us to win always, Wenger or not.Quote:

Comfortable first half. Had a couple of other chances that probably should've been put away (in the first few mins by Gervinho and the Wilshere slide later on). A lot better pressing in this game and the passing has been a bit quicker after the confidence of having scored the first goal. Nothing much to worry about defensively.
Really good first half, that. Great value for the lead, and it could be by a bigger margin.
He's been quieter today, but every time Giroud plays we look far more balanced.Quote:

However, the match was ok, actually missed guilt-edged chances which is encouraging given that means we've created something.
Any confidence knocked from this match could be the final blow, given we're actually doing what we should be.
A better performance this week, we're pressing much further up the pitch, closing down with more energy and most EPL teams don't have the technical ability to keep possession under pressure. However, the penalty was really lucky tbf, pretty pathetic dive from Cazorla, and I thought Mertesacker was a bit lucky to escape a handball as well (the foul given against Olson was soft IMO).
You can't really blame Cazorla for diving. He was just trying to avoid a collision with a 600kg polar bear.

Fuck yeah! Been a while since someone took one for the team.Quote:

Then don't watch this game and stop coming on here and wumming, you want to slate Wenger the piss off to the Wenger out thread. This is for people who want to enjoy the match.Quote:

Can't be asked with your BS anymore just gonna put you on ignore.
Rosicky should get a run in the team with Cheatzola's imminent ban.
Don't forget the 2nd pelanty we should have had, for the foul on Merts.
It was a pretty cheap dive, in fairness. Obviously we're not whiter than white but if we want to do our bit, I think Wenger should have little bit word.Quote:

Case in point - that spectacular volley from the Oxlade cross. He might well have buried that if he decided to RVP it.
There's definite hypocrisy in the media for sure (Ridgwell's dive a few weeks back got zero coverage, as does the dives of players like Gerrard, Lampard etc). However, it's pretty embarrassing when one of our own takes a dive like that, when there's no contact. I'm not particularly bothered if he exaggerated any contact, but when the defender doesn't even touch you, going down and pretending to be hurt isn't within the spirit of the game.Quote:

Nothing wrong with that challenge
Long flings himself in front of BFG.
Look at the pressing. We're getting the ball in their own half every minute. Why the fuck can't we keep trying to do that?
Piss poor pass from Arteta.
:lol:
That was a foul on Catzola.
Cazorla fouled
Nothing given by the cheating ref
That was a foul!
That evens it up then.
Oxo with another spectacular...miss.
