It's a slightly different point really, it's not that we've scored the majority of them against shit sides, it's that we've scored most of them in very few games regardless of the opposition. If we score 0 or 1 goals against anybody chances are we'll end up with 1 or quite possibly 0 points.LeftfootlegendGooner wrote:northbank123 wrote:Despite the overall statistic I think we are still somewhat goal-shy. We have scored quite a lot overall but 23 of those came in 4 games. In 11 of those 19 games we've scored 0 or 1 goals, which isn't good enough for a team that leaks goals like we do.LeftfootlegendGooner wrote:I agree with most of what you say but Arsenal have scored 39 goals in 19 games (took us 23 games to get this tally last season with rvp, courtesy of arseblog) so we aren't exactly goal shy.........and yes to my shame I read arseblog from time to timehugh jardon wrote:I am gobsmacked that people who have been lamenting one of the worst, slowest and goal-shy Arsenal teams in recent history are still arguing that Walcott should be allowed to go!
A 23 year old lightening quick England international with 30 England caps and 47 appearances in the Champions League. He already has made 240 appearances for Arsenal scoring 56 goals!
When he leaves I will wish him every success as since this contract farce has begun he has always indicated he wants to stay, kept his head down and delivered his best football and goal scoring since joining the club. His only "crime" is expecting to be fairly rewarded for his ability.
However I will hold this against the club forever - yet another reason to not pay the extortionate ticket prices they charge. Cheapest Cat A ticket £62 (plus membership and booking fees) to watch Walcott scoring for Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea against us next season? No thanks Arsenal.
I go to football in the hope of seeing goals - who is gonna score the goals when he is gone?![]()

You know the bit I wrote ""and before anyone mentions it"!!!!!Theres always one *word censored* that never lets you down, and you sir are the winner
Northy Son you certainly are raking in the awards.....


But I get you but tbh a stat is a stat......and another stat......we've conceded the fewest goals away from home in the pl

We're gonna win the league on this form
