Some quality stuff on Glory Glory tonight :lol: :lol:
Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful.

Didnt even celebrate the equaliser, because it simply wasn't good enough.

Were now behind arsenal after holding a 10 point lead on them, that is disgusting.
I am going to hang myself unless we finish in top 4.
It's only a game but I do not see the point in it right now.

Only spurs get me feeling this crap
Bunch of over paid twats. Just went and sat with my little 6 month old son whose sound asleep. Much more important.

Funny cos THFC were my life once definitely more about my family nowadays.
It just goes on and on! quality material :-P

and something we all wonder sometimes...
Has Harry spoken his utter shite yet?!

Spot on. This is the first match in a long time that I've followed on the forum and whilst we were all initially a bit puzzled when we thought Rosicky was going to play wide, the way some people express those views is more than a little shocking.

It's interesting to note that some of the main detractors around kick-off were conspicuous by their absence after we went ahead.

Likewise people who questioned the decision to bring on Djourou. Didn't I see him clear the ball under pressure in his own penalty area in injury time? We all know that he's made too many mistakes and is on borrowed time as far as his Arsenal career is concerned, but it seemed like a sensible move to me to bring on someone who can at least compete in the air for the last 5 mins or so.

Let's enjoy another terrific result away from home and look forward to laughing in the faces of all those spuds at work tomorrow.

Mike what makes you think that djouru is on borrowed time at Arsenal ? I mean the guy only signed his new contract 3 weeks ago so even he hasnt done badly enough in that time to force the manager to write him off

we're on a great run, but we are still nowhere near man city. just think what a few top class players could add. we wont get them with the current regime. and will be perpetually competing for 3rd/4th.

hopefully the sickening media fawning and talk of a shift in power to spurs will cease.

eerm is this he same city side that lost to Napoli & didnt make the chmps lge? and they just beat a chelsea side that knocked napoli out - now i know logic does not work like that, but mate you have to give credit where its due. from the horrific start to being 10 points behind spurs now we sitting 3rd. not saying it's cemented but BE PROUD of the Team.

We were brilliant for 15-20 mins and should have put the game to bed in that time. After that, it was a bit backs against the wall, although we still had chances in the second half to kill the game off, but wasted them.

Yes, we were mighty lucky that Everton had a goal ruled out wrongly for offside in the first half, but we also had a clear penalty appeal turned down in the second when Rosicky was fouled.

It's the sort of game where we'd have conceded an equaliser in the past, but the defence were outstanding tonight and the spirit of the whole side is definitely improving in my opinion.

Bit cautious for me - why change a winning team? and why move your form player (Rosicky) out wide to make room for a horribly out of form one (Ramsey)? :?
I hope you're not suggesting that Arsene doesn't know?? :wink:
wouldn't dream of it! :lol:

Not a pretty second half, but we held on. Great night for The Arsenal 8)

Wrong choice of words. He should be on borrowed time. Having said that, a year ago I was bemoaning the fact he was injured (again). Another Senderos I'm afraid. Has the ability to be a reasonable squad player, but is far too inconsistent and makes too many errors.
