Should be over the hills and far away but perhaps we are a little bit jaded in this second half, or maybe we lack a little bit of sharpness?

Bendtner is our Andy Carroll, all physical presence, very little talent.

A professional job against spirited but limited opposition.

Bendtner is so far of the pace for top flight football it's almost embarrassing.

Hopefully no injuries picked up, bring on the Saints and here's hoping we get Forest/Preston NE away in the draw on Sunday but knowing our luck it'll be shitty away.

Good to hear podolski recognising the fact that when we play without tempo we bring pressure onto ourselves

After the Southampton game Wenger will come out with the excuse that the players were tired.Thats why the :censored: played Mert Kos Ozil and Wilsere for 90 minutes against a poor div 1 team

As for Bendtner if he had any shame he would be ashamed to show his face in public.Tonights performance was nothing short of a disgrace

Bendtner was absolute cock tonight. Love the way in his 3 year absence and during his recent injury he's been built into a guy who Wenger suddenly treasures and will stop him going into the transfer market. He spent the last 2 years desperately trying to offload him to any poor bastard willing to pay 52k per week.....oh yeah, nobody

Le Chapman must think all his Christmasses would have come at once if we get through January and he has the Postman, The King of Denmark and SQ Park as competition for his place

I lose interest when he has the ball , I fully expect him every time he has it to either give it away or try and do some piece of skill he is clearly not capable off.

Absolute joke that right now he is our 2nd/3rd choice striker when we are coming into the toughest part of the season and pushing for the league :banghead:

I'm fully expecting Giroud's 3 month injury to come on 2nd Feb when Pulis's Palace kick us all round the park which means the Self Harmer will bemoan "special circumstances" when Postman and Bendy are rotated for the likes of Bayern, Chavski, Citeh and the Plastics.

Of course, not having worked in football for a single day, my opinion counts for shit

If I was a fan of any of the other top clubs, I would literally be pissing myself laughing at the striker options in our squad :oops: When you talk to any half intelligent non Gooner (a contradiction I know), they will all recognise and refer to the abundance of quality attacking midfielders we have but every club needs quality strikers on the end of those moves/passes or else they will largely be a waste of time and the reality is that if giroud gets injured we will have the 3 c*nts that steve o refers to as our ONLY options :cry: :cry: :banghead: :banghead:

Shame on me - didn't watch Coventry (wouldn't have had access anyway), watched (telly only) Bayern's 2 -0 win away to Mönchengladbach, who are 3rd :shock: and were yet to lose at home before Bayern came...
Bayern even missed Schweinsteiger, Robben (came on late) and Ribery but totally dominated the match - no surprise here.Still Gladbach hit the post twice and missed two other opportunities too, but Bayern scored early on and shortly after the break, which somehow killed off any real threats...

Moyes was there (to watch Dante, Kroos and Gladbachs "vermin" Herrmann rumours say...)
