per looks like an accident waiting to happen imo. painfully ponderous and shit distribution. i will give him time but first impressions not good.

we were not unlucky, they battered us, and deserved at least a point. credit though that somehow we weathered it and got an undeserved point.

its clear that it will be a long old season though.

btw that oriental fella was proper mint, better than goetze tonight.

I agree with Wozza

we were outplayed but we defended superbly and almost got a win. There have been plenty og games where we have played well and lost it was nice to see us fighting for the win under pressure tonight
Well played Wozza. :barscarf:

We stood up and were counted. Respect!

WTF do people want?

We have lost 2 of our best players and we know we have some average players in the squad and new players to settle in.

We are not as good as we used to be so FFS be realistic.

Give a bit of credit where it's due. We were beaten by an unstoppable goal. Overall we defended well and 6 minutes from nicking a win.

Demun mate - every one of your posts has got the word IF in it. If we'd won 5-0 it would have been a great result - trouble is we didn't though did we??

Dortmund played well but we're making a habit of bottling games like that aren't we??

Did we really bottle that game? We didnt make a defensive error, as it happens we defended the set piece and conceded an absolute worldy of a strike, nothing anyone can do about that is there

Don't think we bottled it, but they should not have been allowed the free kick they scored from. Song or Arteta should have put it into Row Z. :banghead:

Great result and defensive performance. Unlucky their goal was unstoppable.

Very tough place to go, fantastic atmosphere. They're a good side but I think if we show up at home we can beat them.
