Watched the last 10mins of Burnley game and they're worse than us at keeping possession. It's no wonder they're relegation fodder.
I guess because I so wanted City not to score that I might've been extra critical but Burnley were doing everything possible to let City have the ball when all they needed to do was slow it down and keep it themselves.

The only time in his entire career that Brooking headed a ball!
Welbeck might have a bit of confidence after putting his manure demons to bed with the winner the other night, so Wenger will drop him now, as you do...
I'm popping a €10 on 3-0 to The Arsenal & Giroud for first goal.
Got it at 30/1
Giroud was top class today. Everyone contributed but I thought Chambers was poor and Ramsey had good and bad moments. Great win and hopefully that's the Fat Fuck out of another job.
Fuck it... missus just announced she's off to IKEA tomorrow...

Rule one of gambling..."never tell the wife "
Yep. Lost the plot and was jumping around celebrating. Schoolboy error...
The last few games (Monaco apart) have seen us produce some of the best football we have played in a good while. 21 different goalscorers - that's pretty impressive by anyone's standards.
Watching Citeh produce another unspectacular 90 minutes last night, Chavski huffing and puffing against the Saints, and the worst Man Ure side in over 20 years.....its so frustrating (as ever) that the usual couple of key gaps in our squad weren't addressed in the Summer. Looking at the way Wanyama is bossing the Chavs, he would have been absolutely perfect sitting in front of our back line, and if we'd signed Gabriel (or better) rather than waiting till January, maybe we wouldn't have suffered all of those five pre-Christmas defeats because some of them (Swansea, Stoke) would have been easily preventable were it not for a patched up defence and no natural holding midfielder

thing is SteveO the deficiencies in our squad give Wenker an excuse to fall short every season,if they were addressed and we still didn't win the league he'd be shown up as the fraud that he is.the day we have a complete squad is the day my gran digs herself up

The squandered points lost away at Liverpool and tiny totts due to piss poor defending / organistation too and we really could have been up there......oh well, there's always next year

This is very frustrating but true, 7 points behind Chelsea with them yet to come to the Emirates and 9 games to go, we would have been a lot closer if we had not dropped points at places like Stoke and Swansea.
Saying that some credit has to go to Wenger for the current run of form, Monaco aside, just as criticism when hes fiddling with his coat zip or arguing with the fouth offical, when his team deperately needs direction on the pitch.
But then again playing Chambers and Monreal out of postion to cover up the fact you entered the season with only 2 recognised Center backs....thats pure madness that one, and we paid dearly for it.....
