You know we're doing great when we're being lambasted for being 1-0 up. :mrgreen:

Surprised at Cardiff's approach. Dare I say it, it's a pretty naive approach for a newly promoted team. They're not hassling us enough and, although it's admirable that they're trying to actually play football, their forwards are technically poor.

This is a game we definitely can win quite comfortably, although I expect Cardiff to come out a lot more aggressively in the second half. We may need to really step it up after the break.

1.0 at half time, playing well, and 3 players attacking the ball 4 minutes into injury time, that's what I like to see!

3 goals in the second half, Ramsey, Giroud and Ozil...

8)

Nice to see the Giroud bashing starts after his first poor half of football for a long time!

What did he do wrong? He was blatantly offside thanks to Ozils touch, it was so blatant he stopped as Stevie Wonder could see it...if he carries on he gets booked - in his head. The linesman didnt give it, but by then all momentum is lost, its a mistake but my god he stopped playing - he didnt shit on your nan!

Decent half, we need the next goal to shut this down but more than worthy of the lead at a tough place to go. Time to get the job done now.

According to le tiss on sky, ozil never touched it so giroud was onside

dreadful comments. Giroud has done so well this season and clearly tries hard, and you to turn on him like that?? :?

Yeah, he was daft to stop but drop him? fine him? ffs give it a rest.

Very comfortable so far but Malky Mackay is very pragmatic - he knows as poorly as they're playing if they're in touch with 15 minutes left it'll be nervy. They obviously came from behind late on against United and the City game should be a huge warning because City were pissing all over them, could have been a couple up and all of a sudden found themselves 3-1 down.

Poor from Giroud but how obviously offside was he? Think it was Trevor Francis commenting on the stream I'm watching and he still couldn't tell after 4 front-on slow-mo replays that Ozil not only touched the ball but flicked it past the defender.

Class save. Why does Gibbs think he's above jumping? Might not be favourite to win the header but what on earth would compel him not to challenge and let the bloke have a free header? Cowardly.
