    yeah apart from teh elbow by cattermole on cazorla, the two footed late lunge on ramsey in the first minute, the rugby tackles and shirt pulling whenever we were about to break, the dives, the climbing all over our defence

    yeah apart from that, not thuggish at all.

    That ref was absolutely atrocious. What a ****.

    That's the best one. He will probably say that.

    Also, Sagna Szczesny - absolutely brilliant.

    Midfield created about 700 chances. We should keep this selection of Cazorla playing on the left, Wilshere no.10 and Ramsey and Arteta at CM. They were all very good.

    Walcott and Giroud have to do a lot better in front of goal. Missed far too many chances today. I still can't work out why Podolski's on the bench. I can understand wanting to keep Walcott on the right - he's always a threat but Podolski is probably the in-form player and any of the chances that Walcott and Giroud had fall to him and he's more likely to stick them away. It's the second game in a row Podolski was benched. Hope he starts the main games against Blackburn and Bayern.

    But you should expect a ref to deal with that.

    Wheelchair must be the most fouled player in the league. He's so nippy and always manages to nick the ball away in time before he gets tackled, but that usually ends up in him being clattered because of his ability. Players like him need protecting.

    Society is now one polished horde
    Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

    You'd think people were being maimed on the a regular basis the way people go on about the way other teams play, 20 years ago players use to get up dust themselves off and get on with it, nowadays it's a cardinal sin to tackle and give the opposition players a hard time apparently.

    I'd personally prefer if we showed our teeth a bit more and put in a few crunching tackles, we use to and it worked very well and teams feared us a lot more than they do now where our players roll around and fall over at the mere sight of a tackle.

    Football is a physical sport.
