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.
WUMming aside I thought Wilshere did well today. Looks better as always without Ramsey. Trying to cram the two of them into the same midfield is going to be the club equivalent of Lampard/Gerrard for England.

No neither can I, look at this one for instance.

For me wasn't as bad because it was a slide and small kick (despite steaming in at some pace). Cahill flew in straight over the ball with his studs, it was an ankle-leg breaker.

Out of control and studs showing NB... how many times have we seen red cards produced for those?
The one thing it wasn't as far as I am concerned is a great tackle as AFC forever claimed it was.
Not sure if this was mentioned but it seems fab was given a hard time by our away support. Why? He wanted to come back but was denied by Wenger. Lets show a bit of class ffs.

Apparently got a good reception when they read his name out but that's pack mentality for you. A few people start booing and everyone's wound up, others join in.
Like those pathetic "She said no" chants last season at Old Trafford - I bet you half the people singing it would have strongly rejected the idea of singing that beforehand but just joined in with other people.
Delusion all around us..it may not have been 0-6, we may have been a bit more competitive but I think one factor is this timing of the game. In October Mourinho consolidates, in March he cuts loose. I know they did get six at Goodison but they won today playing at their ease , pace and leisure. I cannot understand anyone believing that we are any closer to them , in a more that one way we are further behind them. The two players that try drive us on were replaced by two that went through the motions when handed a chance in the League Cup game recently. That's 30 years experience I suppose. Thought Ox could have came on earlier.
It's more of the same, we may have avoided the humiliation on the scoreboard but we are a sorry lot if we take comfort in that.
p.s. pity Wenger didn't deck Mourinho today and force the board to sack him for conduct unbecoming of an Arsenal manager.

On the tv it sounded like there was a token booing by some fans but far from the majority - of course I wasn't at the game so I could be wrong
