Repeat in the final please :pray:

Little bit clinical, yes.
We play a little bit with the handbrake off.

What did we learn from the game ?
1) Hull are not afraid of playing football .
2) Do not take them lightly as they can hurt you even though they didn't do it today .
3) They make mistakes when under pressure in counter-attack . We have to capitalise when the opportunities arise .
4) They don't give up until the end even when they are chasing the game .
I think we will have too much for them in the final as they will be away from home and today's score would have dented their confidence . Plus they will be without Long Jelavic .
Those cunts at Sky are trying to turn the story of the match into a non-foul by Arteta. That's a comfortable 3-0 win that hinged delicately on one 50/50 decision over 320 miles from the goal the ball eventually ended up in. Not a word about our stonewall penalty.
Great win today. Needed it, in light of the result at Goodison. I despise Arteta and how he plays. If he wanted a Denilson, then we might as well have kept Denilson.
Ramsey is God. He is absolutely EVERYWHERE! :bow:
Wenger in front of a cash converters advertisement.
That's just a sick joke.
It was one of sky's most blatantly biased performances from start to finish. Your namesake ignoring every act of thuggery by hull players and then laying it on thick every time an arsenal player breathed on a hull man, and of course the inevitable wailing and gnashing of teeth after the second goal. There are some folk there who are going to sick to their stomachs when we fluke fourth place again.Quote:

His distribution is more consistent and refined than any other here which is the main reason he has remained in the side despite his flaws since joining the club. Without him here we would have failed to control a heck of a lot of games.Quote:

Just shows you what we missed.
A fit Ramsey, Theo and a world class striker (Higuian/Suarez) and we would have walked the league this season!
A Foul against Arteta would have been hash and soft . He didn't touch him . The hull player went down too easily even though thank God he wasn't theatrical as some would have done .
Surprisingly , there was a clear Arsenal penalty appeal which would have kept the same scoreline , had the referee decided to give a a foul but they talk about it . Skysports double standard as usual .
Yeah, Arteta was a bit toothless today, tbf.Quote:

Today's conclusions:
Good win 4th place will be ours as expected (we knew this when the season started anyway)
Ramsey is a brilliant player, forward thinking, wants to get goals and creates
Podolski is our best striker and should play
It's difficult to work out if Quiff is playing except when he decides to dive
Blame Wenger for that .Quote:

He never stops running. Even when it was in stoppage time, he was still running all over the place.Quote:

:lol: The guy makes me laugh, re the supposed foul by Arteta he says it's 70 yards from the goal and had no effect and you could pick a few of these for each team, yet whenever this happens to his team he's unhappy about it even if it's 70 odd yards away, you don't hear him say it had no impact then!Quote:

Arshavin was dire when we played him up front for a spell. Same with Podolski. I would say given Podolski is scoring goals - don't fix something that clearly isn't broken.Quote:

Frustrated that Podolski doesn't get more game time than he does as he is deadly inside and around the edge of the box.
Just an extra thought, having watched the Everton game makes me want Martinez as our manager even more. The way they beat united today was a totally different way to how they beat us was so impressive. He always gives great interviews, always calm, knows what he is talking about and clearly thinks about tactics and how to set up a good football team. I can only imagine what he could do with our players which lets be honest are of a better standard than those he has currently at Everton. If he can get Naismith, mirallas, McCarthy, Coleman etc playing the way they are then imagine what he could do with Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla etc.
I feel if we don't strike now at the end of this season I feel we will miss the boat on getting him as boss as I feel he'll go to a really big club before too long.
Seriously, what is wrong with you? This is the only thing you can find to try and pour cold water on the win today? He said he didn't think it was a foul and anyway it was 70 yards from goal. Big deal, the main point is he didn't think it was a foul, I guess because it clearly wasn't, and even if it had been then playing on didn't mean Hull's goal was immediately under threat. I guess when our players actually do get fouled on the edge of the opposition box and we lose a goal he might have a problem with that because our legitimate free kick has become their goal. Maybe you should become a TV interviewer so you can cross examine him on discrepancies in his post match interviews.
Bravo.Quote:

If it did come down to that (and it really doesn't bear thinking about!), would it be the highest amassed number of points for the team in 5th in EPL history?
Amazing the difference having just one player like Ramsey in the side makes - all of a sudden everything just seems to work, and players who looked useless now look useful?!
I still don't think we'd have won the league had he stayed fit, we need more up front, but we'd have been closer.Quote:

It would be, the previous er best being the Spuds' 72 last season. :lol:Quote:
