Chelsea have Liverpool next and we have Watford. Then it's the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Again we've fluked ourselves in with a glimmer, can we actually do something this time when we go there?

Xhaka was excellent up until that mad minute. Of course he then undid it all by diving in, but he was unlucky to come up against such an accomplished cheat that knew exactly how to synchronise his dive, scream and roll. After all, Rooney tackles like that all the time and there's never a card.
Für eure Sicherheit
Would have been quite happy for Wenger to push the 4th official over on his arse. Prick.
Never red for Xhaka....and the team really need to practice striking through a football cleanly.
He was average and it was his mistake that lead to giving the ball away which meant he had to dive in. My first reaction was the ref had fucked us over but looking on the replays, two feet off the ground and going for it with both feet....you don't have to make much contact to get a red for that.
Me PG tips and NQ have had this debate before....
The football was decent. If we play this game and we score 2 or 3 nobody mentions pub football....but if we don't win it or win it narrowly everybody mentions pub football. The football was not actually that bad, the finishing was.
We were very lucky with the ref call at the end and scored a very basic goal but it wasn't pub football. It just goes back to the same problems we had last season. This short passing intricate play doesn't work with Giroud against this sort of team. Seen it so many times before. I knew were going to get nervy in the second half if we didn't put two past them early.
