I'd like to see Dani partnering with Elneny in the next game

Excellent. The kind of result you would think we should be able to expect (but far too often in the past, have been denied). It's very exciting to have a full year under Arteta to look forward to, hopefully armed with maybe another high quality addition.
Many things to be positive about but certainly confirmation that we have defensive solidity, clarity of how we want to play, a drive to play aggresively for 90 minutes (even when leading), and a team who values hard work and effort - rather than just silky skills. Whether we have the players we need for top 4 remains to be seen, but how we approach games and how we execute is worthy of it.
Bigger challenges await, but I am pleased.
Great result to celebrate my return to the same time zone.
Everyone played well really. A very professional performance, apart from that early AMN hospital pass.
Gabriel and Holding cleared everything and were basically playing attacking midfield in the second half.
Bellerin with another excellent performance now that he's fully fit and sharp again.
Tierney with another effortless Tierney 9/10 performance.
Only disappointing thing was the lack of +1s.
Fair play to Gabriel - plenty of Arsenal defenders would have gone to pieces after that early mistake, but to come storming back with a MOTM performance speaks really well of his character and temperament. Fast, strong and won absolutely everything in the air - no wonder his hairline is already receding!
What’s got into Holdinho?! Where’d that come from?
Really pleased with how much better we looked going forward with just two additions - thought we looked really fluid at times today.
Glad to see the inverted fullbacks making a return - those midfield overloads make us a different beast, and I didn’t think Fulham knew who to track when Bellerin and AMN drove inside.
Tougher games to come, but these are exactly the games that we needed to improve in so this is really encouraging.
Top of the league :scarf::scarf::dancingman:
Didn't watch beyond the first few minutes because it was boring, backwards, sideways shit and cheating is so seamlessly meshed into the game. Football is dead. Don't care if we won or lost because, either way, it wasn't done in the spirit of sport. Add to that, no crowd, the cowardly players grovelling at the start of the match (every one of them, NOT A SINGLE PLAYER HAD A SET OF BALLS), restrictive marketing deals that make you spend a fortune to watch a game - EVEN WHEN YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO GO TO THE GAMES!
Fuck it. It's gone. Dead.
I keep telling you, it's not like that further down. Not the same if it's not Arsenal, I know, but if you're looking for what you used to have with Arsenal, that's where it is.Quote:

And I might even take you up on it. Been thinking about Cambridge Utd, which is viable in terms of travel. But it still works out to be a fortune for a father and son to attend one game. Excluding the fact you can't actually attend. Don't know how those clubs are surviving at all.Quote:

He just knows that he will get the occasional hit.
This is a technique that Fellaini and others use with the flailing arms, elbowing the other player. Same method - you always swing your elbow without looking. You know that the chances are you will often catch the opponent but since you weren't looking, you get away with it. Very cynical and unpleasant.
Nice and straight forward 3 points. Bread and butter if we want to get back into the top 4.
Really happy with Gabriel and Willian.
So like i said, they don't want you there...:lol:Quote:

Card-waving is more harmful to an opponent than stamps, elbows, needless shoves and barging them into the hoardings apparently.
Yeah, leave poor Hector alone! He was just being honest.
If you’re not careful, you could end up hurting his feelings and making him feel bad! Do you want another Ryan Shawcross on your conscience? DO YOU?!! It has to stop.
yeah it's like poor ol' Sonofabitch who's always so honest and upset after he breaks someone's leg, there's no way he meant to go in studs-up like that on several occasions...
Exactly! I mean, they may have gone out with the intention of deliberately hurting someone, but that doesn’t mean they meant to hurt them. It certainly doesn’t mean they wanted anyone to make them feel bad about it afterwards!
If you think about it, these guys are the real victims here.
