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.
Derby day comes down to one thing, passion and work ethic. Both of which we were miles below the Spuds. I would like to see Ozils yardage vs any of the Spurs players... Shocking. Why start Welbeck after a month out... Nice one Wenger.
So after all the excitement of beating Citeh, it figures that we are now below the effin Spuds in the league table and have taken just 1 pt from 6 against them this term. A wage bill of over £175m, £42m Ozil, £35m Sanchez, far superior players and we are behind S'oton and Spuds. Simply unacceptable.

This is the most lightly moderated forum around. If Derek continues beyond his gentle wumming he will be fucked off, but that was hardly an exocet was it?
Also did our Cbs win a header all game? Other than the free header Kos planted straight at Lloris from 8 yards.
How many times did they bang useless balls up to Kane only for Mertesacker to pathetically stand behind him and try and hook a leg around him when he should have won an easy header or just eased him out of it and let it run through to Ospina? Koscielny looked half asleep all game, culminating in that ridiculous yellow card and standing miles off Kane for the second, albeit a brilliant header.
To be fair to Ozil why bother playing him out there if he is gonna be asked to track back so much? You'll get a performance like that every time, justifiably so.
I thought Coquelin did okay. Read the game pretty well, although he got skinnrd a few times. But people get carried away thinking that a DM solves everything. No player in the world would have hauled our defensive performance around amongst that chaos.
