As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

His touch today and general play was absolutely top drawer.....
Giroud should start every game.
Even when he wasn't scoring he was doing the right things.
Wenger doesn't want to play Theo or Poldi up front so Olly is our only out and out striker. Playing Forehead up front didn't work.
Said it once, I'll say it again. 4-4-2 with pod and Giroud up front. Get the best out of them both
4-2 & a man up should never feel that nerve-racking but fuck it. The good, the bad & the ugly all in one game but at 12.45 who wouldn't have bitten off a grizzly bear's cock to smash these bastards whatever the performance.

Bringing on Ramsey & Santos was shocking for so many reasons but tbh we'd already conceded the initiative by that point with Monkian's goal – having only just re-siezed it after originally conceding it at half time coming out predictably complacent for the 2nd half. Ironically I thought we regained control of the game after the substitutions. Not because of the subs, just because we managed to string the ball around for that 2-3 minute spell & take the sting out of the game instead of trying force the killer through-ball.

The last two games we've won we've beaten 10 men. Match finished with about 6 players playing out of position. Fine, see that as a great weekend if you want, but I feel nothing about this match at all. People who criticise fans for not cheering up need to realise that again we'll win nothing at the end of the season, and THEY'LL be moaning too.
If the point of the season was to whack Spurs, then we're champions. It's not and we won't be until this regime is gone.
WTF, where on gods earth were they battering us, I always thought we were well in the game before the c unt got sent off, and tbf we should have got 6 or 7, theres not many teams that will do them fuckers 5-2 with even with 10 men.
ENJOY THE FUCKING DAY...................
Agreed. If the scummers want to wallow in some alleged moral victory after losing the NLD 5-2 they're welcome to it. Small time *word censored*. Fuck knows where that idea even comes from though. Any nerves I felt was all to do with our own history of managing to fall into a pit of shakira fanny and come up smelling of horseshit, nothing to do with what sperz were doing on the pitch. They were the better team for the first 15mins but so what, it's the NLD ffs, how many times has one team looked in control only for the game to turn on it's head. They had a wanker justifiably sent off, no hard luck story there. Then they managed to pull one back after we switched off at 4-1 and create one other clear-cut chance – thank fuck that gimpanzee bastard is such a greedy *word censored*. Big whoop. You lost 5-2. Fuck off.
Don't give a fuck they would have probably won had Adebaywhore not lost his head.
Don't give a fuck that Dembele would have changed the complexion of the game.
Don't give a fuck that we still did our best to throw away the game in the second half.
Don't give a fuck that Wenger's substitutions are baffling to say the least.
Just come back from the twelve pins after a few celebratory sherberts. Was good to see TH14 and SC23 in the boxes above red action going mental with us.
It's been a grey old day here in The Grand Duchy, it dizzled all morning, went out for lunch with my family rather than watch the game as last year we went to the park and beat them 5-2 so I thought I might have to avoid watching it to ensure another win. I had no way of knowing what was happening until half-time when I found out we were 3-1 up, then I managed to convince my wife that we had to look at prices for new radio and kettle so that I go into an electrical shop and use their internet to find out the score and laughed out loud when I found out that the mug had been sent off and we were cruising. Got a few funny looks from the staff and the locals when I went round all the ipads putting up the BBC football website to show we were winning 4-2, stood outside an almost empty bar to watch the last few minutes but got dragged off by my wife before number 5 went in and have spent the rest of the afternoon wondering why I bothered going to derby games for so many years as every time I don't go, we score 5 and take the piss. Should have moved years ago.
Well done, lads, you didn't let us down today. Funny how the lights in Luxembourg City look a little brighter tonight and how the rain stopped the moment won. I'm not saying that God's a Arsenal fan but....
who gives a fuck if they were the better team, sending off changed the game blah fucking blah. we just hammered the tiny tots at home for the second year running

Better team, my arse. Did I watch a different game? I thought they were the better team for the first 15 minutes, thought we battered them after that.
