Match Reaction v Chelsea

[Joker]

Walcotts goal was great but his overall performance was very poor. Not that Sagna lifted a hair braid to help him. We desperately need to get that fucking cheque book out and splash cash on a proper striker. And we need someone a lot (lot) better than Diaby in the middle. Plus theo should start diving. It's all the rage and our lack of fashion sense is costing us.

Walcott was very good in the 2nd half, and was our best player on the pitch. It seems that he has to play like Messi before he gets recognition on this board.

I'm not so sure it's about the striker, mate. The chance that Giroud had in the fourth minute and that headed opportunity that he totally ballsed-up in the second half could quite easily have been finished off by another attacker on our books- Podolski.

I was talking more generally speaking as opposed to any specific incident in the game today. Podolski was injured, therefore we had no viable option on the bench. That just isn't good enough in my opinion.

34 from 22 and now listening to an interview from RvP. That's why we have 34 from 22. Simple.

ironic given everytime van persie scored vital gaols you never praised him.

[Marc Overmars]

No qualms about the performance in general and I think we at least deserved a point but we have a terrible habit of starting games slowly, that's where the damage is always done.

3 home games on the spin now and we really need to pick up 9 points.

Offside too much, poor passing, didn't use his best asset, his pace. The goal doesn't hide these facts.

What did you think of Walcott's goal?

Walcott took his goal well, but we can't expect him to do what RVP did for us last season and carry us, we need a replcement for Giroud and it doesnt need slly money to do that, why didnt we go in for Loic Remy? At 8 mill and 70K a week with have been well within our budget.

RvP is a pretender, Walcott is the real deal. Even you must admit it.
