Good point
More than i expected.

Mertesacker :bow:
We're far away from where we were. :coffee:
I guess this is what happens when you don't have 2 world class players in every position.
Lucky to go away with just a point, CDM's and Defence did Alright, midfield was shocking.
I can't fault the effort at all.
We faced a better side away and got a point...it's a good result. Very limited going forward and the organisation at the back was a mess as always but cannot fault the work-rate from the players. It wasn't an easy fixture.
New signings Benayoun and Arteta impressed with their efforts. Szczesny was good as always.
Quite happy with that. Would have taken a point and overall felt we played and defended well.
Bit disappointing to concede so late but you can't do anything about a goal like that and a point away in the CL is generally a decent result.
Overall, well done boys.
could be an important point.
stolen from the german champions with a good effort but shit play.
liked the heart. hated the nervousness.
song was good on the second half.
mertesacker did well too.
and szczesny.
Should have bought Mata, or someone who can run a midfield....now its all on young Wilshire shoulders because the majority of our midfield is fucking shit...good job Wenger
Really proud of that performance, boys stood up tall and gave their all. good goal for them but in reality imo they didnt really trouble chesney too much. remember a couple of seasons when we would dominate, conceded score late on and draw, well dortmund did just that.
also skys commentators today were cunts
Good if a tad lucky draw, the pr*ck can stay in the stands we seem to do better :coffee:
TBF that was a good point, I expected us to lose today.
In all honesty I think the group is wide open.
Good result.
It was indeed a good point. Anything away from home in the CL is a good result particuarly against a side of this calibre.
Pity we couldn't hold on because we defended so well, but it was a great strike and there was nothing we could have done about it.
I thought we were wasteful in midfield and invited a lot of the pressure on. No one could really pick a pass, but maybe you have to give Dortmund credit for closing us down. Gervinho was the biggest sinner IMO, lost count of amount of times I was shouting "Look up!"...he just seems intent on running into brick walls.
A positive start to the group anyway which must be backed up with a win against Olyimpiakos, which I'm sure it will.
what drugs you on?Quote:

Good effort on the whole, a draw away from home against the German champions is a good result.
Mertesacker doesn't seem to be hindered by his lack of pace as his positioning has been spot on. Chesney with a couple big saves to keep us in it.
Not sure why we bring on Shitmakh, he adds nothing and is him coming on is the same as us going down to ten men.
Only error I can see is the tactics, Walcott for Frimpong was puzzling as we needed an outlet to take the pressure off our defense, they had free run at us for 25 odd minutes before their goal.
Arteta and Yoss impressed defensively in the 2nd half. Song was immense as well.
The big ass German gets my MOTM vote though.
Attacking wise, pretty shit. Gervinho missing sitters continues on his poor start for us
it was hilarious seeing the sub at 75mins....that has Wenger written all over itQuote:

Pleased with tonight's effort.
expect uefa to ban him for telling rice what to do at such a time in game if situation was like it wasQuote:

a good point, dortmund deserved the point though.
gibbs needs to be dropped, he had a terrible game.
song had a great second half and benny got better as the game progressed.
good to see gerv back.
come on we have gone backwards massively.....great point, great grit etc etc etc who can be bothered anymore...for a team built for technically ability we were awfulQuote:

I think we're going to have to get used to this sort of performance this season. The fluent, offensive play we've seen intermittently over the last few seasons is a thing of the past. Most games this season will involve us toiling hard to create any chances, and our football will likely be laboured, untidy and uninspiring.

He likes it up there alongside his pal PHW don't worry.Quote:

If Van Persie stays fit this season, he will be playing for Barcelona next season. One the best striker in the world.
Also - although we didn't quite steal a win, it was refreshing to see a proper game of football with no diving or going down easy. There were many times when the Dortmund players could've gone down and appealed for a dangerous freekick or pen. The referee was always fantastic and didn't do the usual European thing of calling people up on slight nudges.
Overall, enjoyed it.
Fucking love Merson
What a legend
i said to a mate he RVP must look around and think fucking hell what the fuck has happened....he is off to Madrid...and i would not blame him at allQuote:

You must have been watching the Chelsea game, our perfomace was as good as it could have been away in the cirumstances.Quote:

Pleased with the nights work. On to Blackburn and the relegation 6 pointer
Wenger being kept in the stands until 15 mins after FT. uefa sent two people to escort him there too. what a fucking joke of an orgnastion. texting = death penatly, racist chanting and we hear nothing being done. CUNTS
yeah because When they have benzema and higuaim they'e buy some injury prone 29 year old. but i agree the only reason he is here because he is crock and no one will waste money on him.Quote:
