No but there are ‘expected’ goals against Arsenal tonight!!

[TeeCee]

Wonga has sat in the press box because he doesn’t want to be sat next to ‘normal plebs’. He really does think he is a god!

we live in hope.....

[Gunner Rob]

Iwobi ahead of Sanchez...... it’s dementia for sure!!

Sanchez has basically gone.
This is the future.

[rodders999]

Loads of empty seats in our end....did we just not sell out our allocation?

[Perryashburtongroves]

Why were we not given the full allocation, by the way?

[Gunner Rob]

Bit embarrassing that this is now our full strength side minus Sanchez

[northbank123]

When Wilshere gets on the ball he has this brilliant ability to glide between opposition players and to beat players and create space with his first touch. Have to say that I do really enjoy watching him when he's fit. Unfortunately in front of him Lacazette hasn't held a fucking thing up so far, Iwobi rarely looks like offering any threat and I'm not sure that Welbeck has touched the ball yet. That was a great ball over the top to Lacazette, who never looked like he knew what to do with it.

Really poor tackle from Kante from behind on Iwobi when we were breaking forward and not even a threat of a booking. Classic example of a player not getting booked because of reputation, and referees allowing certain players to be effective in that role.

Has there ever been a football team worse at corners than us? We are more likely to concede from them breaking away than to score off one.

[rodders999]

Was thinking the exact same thing about Kante.....stonewall yellow that.

[Perryashburtongroves]

Lacazette's shot was the type of one you see when driving past a Sunday league park match. When were we last decent at shooting? I reckon about 1988/89.

Totally agree, Jack looking very ekegantvand beats players for fun, great ball to lacazzette who just slashes at the ball rather than a measured lob across to the far post.

I think welbeck and iwobi are related, they haven't got a decent touch between the pair of them.

van Persie was a great finisher for the 18 months that he was fit. That's about it in recent times.

[Perryashburtongroves]

Is this the longest we've gone in a match without giving away a penalty?
