That's two horrible matches down and one to go before the lads are on MOTD. And the Utd game should be quick because it will be impossible to find highlights from that game because nothing happened in it. Lineker slept rough again last night, by the look of it. Wonder will they absolutely slate that twat Holt for some of the worst cheating ever seen on a footie pitch?

God, they've decided to do the Munich air crash again. GET ON WITH IT! Where's our match?

that wasn't an easy game. people were saying 'it's only norwich, easy 3 points' but far from it.
thats one reason i hate lunchtime and late kick off's, with the crowd behind them they turn into a different team. they really lift themselves and you can see it.
anyway mertesacker really needs to get a grip of this league, he was dodgy against chelsea and now against norwich he struggled. how is he going to cope against city or utd? or even against big teams in europe? wish we just paid £12m for cahill instead of pissing around with johnny foreigner who's going to take 6 months to settle in.
gervinho looks good, totally different to what we have which is much appreciated. still needs to learn to square the ball at times instead of shooting, but that can improve as his understanding of the english game continues.
walcott looks a different player. he looks like he's bulked up a bit and decided to add a bit of strength to his game. absolutely brilliant.
arteta looks solid. so does benayoun. feels so good knowing players like benayoun's coming on in the 70th minute as you know he won't give the ball away or panic when we're under pressure, unlike some of the shite we've had in the past 3 years.
finally got a bit of competition in the squad and it's showing. can't believe it's taken a man with the stature of wenger 3 fucking years to get a decent squad together. this should have been our approach all along and we've all been saying it; youth AND experience blended together. if only he'd have opened his eyes a bit sooner.

Good post but I disagree with the Metersacker bit . He is a top defender getting used to the English game . He was at fault for the Norwich goal but that was down to referee judgement . In other part of Europe that should have been a foul . Even in England , ironically , should a defender have done that to a striker it could have been a penalty and a yellow card to the defender ( imagine here if Metersacker was a striker going to score and Morrison a defender )
DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
Yeah, with Merts, I think he's surprised by the physicality of the league more than anything else. He's been a good buy. Has helped steady a very rocky defence and we shouldn't forget that.
I thought we played really well in this, aside from the “sun in the eyes” goal they scored I can’t remember shihcujhbuihjb doing too much in goal?
We did go a bit..well, erm “arsenal” at times however, in the first half Norwich couldn’t cope with the running and attacking of Walcott and Megamind so we stopped doing that for a while, obviously we were expecting them to punt the ball up into the sun each time they got it and have Morrison try and knock the CB’s out the way, when they didn’t do this we kindly compensated by squirting invisible ink into the big Germans eyes to gift them their goal, the look on wt72sbbxz face when it went in said it all really.
I thought Walcott and Megamind were excellent running with the ball, the Ivorian needs to work on finishing and looking up as I genuinely though Ramsey was going to clown his punk ass at one point, another two goals for the Perse and Koscielny looked solid at right back, the midfield 3 did well and a game without an Alex Song booking, which is a rarity. Norwich were ok but they need to have a better last ditch plan than sending on the ever widening Grant Holt to fall over and look, well, fat.
This puts us on level points with 3rd placeif it weren’t for Manyoo’s irritating ability to keep winning 1-0 we would be right up with them, funny how things work out.
Spurs play tonight against Villa to use one of their games in hand and I understand that Arry will soon be fit enough to got o court and find out how many years in prison he has gotten away with this time…
Also, strange as it sounds I think Theo was better fro not having our right back near him, the lack of passing options seemed to spur him onto to take on his man and afforded him the space to run around him, although Tierney being a shitty baldy twat might also have been a factor
