He wasnt shit but defensively he was poor Djourou was exposed a few times covering the rightSwale_Gooner1985 wrote:Eboue wasnt shit whoever it was that said that?! He was fine, had a good game!
I did enjoy it when Clichy beat about 6 players down the left side towards the end, that was cracking me up, the way he kept coming out with the ball.
Wilshere did it a couple of times too, there was one point where he crawled about 15 yards and still kept it
By the way I absolutely love Chamakh and Koscielny, both wonderful signings!

On the positives I thought that wilshire, kos and gibbs were fcuking immense last night and as someone who is constantly standing up for clichy I will say that gibbs is entitled to a chance in the first team now. The progress of kos over the last few weeks is what has impressed me most tbh.....when we signed him I wasnt sure and in the first few games he did look lightweight but he appears to be getting stronger with every game and seems to relish the physical aspect now 
What can we say about young jack ? Kicked from pillar to post from them *word censored* and got fcuk all protection from the ref but still totally ran the show He has the world at his feet if he keeps his feet on the ground, keeps learning and developing and stays away from serious injuries 
On the (slightly) negative side I too was disappointed with djouru and denilson and again I am one that normally defends them on here
As flash has said, eboue looked good going forward but had little end product and was poor defensively where I thought that he was left exposed a lot by lansbury who too often, in my opinion, got caught positionly when he ran around chasing the ball.
I also have to agree with BT that nasri looked very tired and I was one that was getting increasingly frustrated with him in normal time as he was slowing our game up and getting pushed off the ball far too easily. After the first pen though we seen a different nasri as he chased and hassled them and looked a lot happier in himself as if pressure was lifted off him
Graet to see those scum *word censored* flooding out with 25 mins of extra time left and that *word censored* crying his eyes out was just the funniest ever

Agree, those 3 in particular gave 3 of the most impressive individual displays I’ve seen from an Arsenal player (Cesc-aside) in the last few years. Kos really has been a major boost in recent games, think I cheered louder to the tackle on Lennon than I did to the 4th goal. Granted Pavlova & The Caravan Man aren’t exactly the most physical strikers to play against but he dominated everything, on the air & on the ground. If it's a sign of things to come then fucking bring on Drogba! Ok, maybe not.augie wrote:On the positives I thought that wilshire, kos and gibbs were fcuking immense last night and as someone who is constantly standing up for clichy I will say that gibbs is entitled to a chance in the first team now.

Yeah. The words pot, kettle and black came to mind!Boomer wrote:Did any see the end of the sky 'show reel'? The one which has the upbeat music and shows certain clips of the game?
I didn't see this live but in it was Almunia's reaction to flappy. He basically put one hand on his head turned away and in disappointment/disgust.
I saw that as well. Found it laughableBoomer wrote:Did any see the end of the sky 'show reel'? The one which has the upbeat music and shows certain clips of the game?

Just watched the game again one thing I didnt notice last night was that Robbie Keane apart from scoring spent the rest of the 2nd half trying to mark Wilshere. Great tactics by Redknobb were they trying for pens once it went to 1-1?
Before the game they were talking up the Spurs squad and saying how great their bench was compaired to ours, then at the end of the game Redknobb was saying he had to play the players he did. Almost saying that he didnt have anybody else to play.
Lennon is a one trick pony(maybe 2 on a very good day) and watching Bentley in one way it is funny to watch but in another it isnt. I hope Wenger has told Wilshere to watch Bentley video's since he left Arsenal to show him how quickly things can go wrong if you dont listen and think your better than you are. The header he had when it was 3-1 and his body language afterwards he did not seem to care.
Apart form that it was good to watch espesially the first half some great football played by Arsenal

It might help them keep their feet on the ground to see just how shit a career can turn out! To think that plank was once mentioned in the same breath as The Great Man.
