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.
I'm pretty sure I heard boos when Roshity was finally hooked... Perhaps they were from the barcode fans though.... they would rather the *word censored* had stayed on...
I'm not one to blame refs, but he totally bottled sending off Barton (and why do people get so much attention for being *word censored*). Outrageous, baffling, pathetic decision.
As for the match, same shit different day. Shame our one vaguely bright spark managed to get himself sent off. Everyone goes on about the defence, but are we really going to go through the season with Van Persie alone up front?
I'm listening with Premiership-selling sycophantic fawning commentators for the foreign markets, which makes it even more annoying.
Koscielny has had a very good game today and our central defenders haven't looked too bad.
BUT, we have nothing to link defense and attack. 4-3-3 depends on a creative, talented midfield. Villa-Boas knows it. Pep knows it. Mourinho knows it. Wenger uses Rosicky in that role.

PS: Fucking atrocious ball by Djourou on the break.
