A truly shocking stat (positive thread alert)

[LDB]

best defensive away season in 9 years

Thank fuck for that or we wouldn't be just 21 points behind Utd.

Do you know what we are going to give Bould and the defence an open top bus parade to the Town Hall to celebrate this great achievement.Sod winning trophies its all about defensive records.RVP will be jealous

At least its evidence that the coaches, players and manager are at least trying to work on our shortcomings which is what alot of fans have been crying out for. It was certainly one of the main sources of frustration for me in the past 5 years

Wait, Chippy is about to put forth a gem, an epigram, a solipsism, "the only stat that matters is the League table," read it and weep. You can all relax now.

Doesn't really help in the cups though, does it?

Cups? What cups? They are but ephemera a figment of your imagination!

True, the only cups at Arsenal these days are the D-Cups sported by our fat little russian

only 14 goals conceded away from home but we have won two less games than the Spuds So the attack is shit

Great conclusion, however we've scored MORE goals than EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE apart from United.... so "the stats" suggest our attack is good, doesn't it?

I meant our attack away from home is shit.Giroud has the grand total of ONE league goal away from home

Yeah but he really tries hard and it isn't his fault that he isn't as good as RvP

The only concrete stat is where you are sat in the league table at the end of the season. Everything else is open to debate.
