"I forgot to mention
The fans who left early and missed Artetas goal
Also though
Guy in our row, came in 10 minutes late, left 5 minutes before half time, came back 5 minutes in to the 2nd half and left well before half time.
I usually wouldnt notice shit like that but i had to get up for the **** to let him walk past all these times.
Considering i left at full time and got on the train within 10 minutes. No reason to leave early"
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Well the train does need its driver before it can leave tbf.Originally Posted by Ach

And another thing. How good was it to see someone tricking on the pitch again? I know some people don't like it, they think it's taking the piss, but love it.
I miss the days of hammering home a Harlem Globetrotterish dominance with a little showboating, of cruising through games and crushing teams from the comfort of 2nd gear. Henry's look away pass still makes me smile.
Right now we're winning, but to do so we must give absolutely everfin.
Bring back piss-taking.
Hmm...it's like white boots. You've got to be exceptional to get away with it. Truth be told, Van Persie is the only one who could've got away with that. If Theo or Ramsey did that, we'd be telling them to stop faffing about and keep the concentration.
You have to have store of goodwill certainly. It's only because people aren't convinced Theo or Ramsey do enough in normal circumstances to afford showboating.
Not sure either could do it without fucking up tbh.
Nothing wrong with a good piss take.
Thought it was quality when Nani did it to us. The least we deserved for throwing that cup tie tbh.

That's true enough.
I don't really understand showboating when it doesn't really give you any advantage. What RVP did or what Nani did - going back towards his own goal doing keepy-ups...put aside any other thoughts...what advantage are you gaining from just rolling the ball normally? But, whatever...hardly the biggest deal in the world. That is still an Eduardo dive.

Not really about advantage. In functional terms, probably disadvantageous overall. Psychologically, it's about driving home your superiority over an opponent, mocking them generally, and having a bit of fun.

It's about entertainment and dominance. I don't mind a bit of that.
