why was song substituted? He was our strongest player in midfield. Agree we didnt have the rub of the green as far as refereeing decisions went, in fact he was shocking. But at the end of the day teams like Chelsea are gonna take advantgae of us not capitalising on our chances. 3-0 did not summarise the game either and i feel a point was probably best deserved out of this game.

Are you sure? Lots of pretty possession doesn't mean we deserved a point. We had nobody upfront to turn the possession into clear chances. They did a job on us. Pretty footie is great when it works and awful when it doesn't cos there's no alternative to try. Today, we created very little. Don't worry, we'll beat Stoke 4-1 and all will be rosey.
We showed great commitment today as well as fantastic potential, but I felt we were a little bit unlucky in final third of the field. Our passing was superb and general attitude to the game was impeccable. In two/three/seventeen years this team will be able to beat anyone anywhere.
Yes the ref and his linesmen were fucking useless cuunts...but! We had our chances and never fucking took them...great build up and shit finishing...in fact can you call not actually shooting finishing? Did anyone actually seem willing to take a fucking shot? I was behind the goal and seen quite a few chances where all it MIGHT have taken was a fucking POP! But nope we always decided to send it sideways..WTF? We are missing RvP because without him we seem like a bunch of fucking eunuchs in a brothel...no fucking bollocks!!!!!!
And yet again the fucking no history wankers down the road get all the fucking gloating rights...how fucking sick does that make you feel!

Exactly. Look at how many deflected goals that fat c*nt and the mancs get just from shooting when they have the angle. Nothing wrong with playing the percentages sometimes.
possession neva determines the result of the game... we badly lacked a FINISHER where most of our ball were jus rolled down to the chav defence... The number of shots attempted by the gunners were hardly a handful... We do need to have a proper finisher... Wenger either buys one this transfer season or groom one... Its as simple as that!!!
What i saw was a team (Chelsea) who were willing to let us play pretty ten yard passes before crossing the high ball into their defenders who really were not troubled. The trouble with plan A is our alternative is also plan A.
I am not a fan of Andy Grey, but watching the last word on Sky he showed how defensvely our defenders and forwards switch off and are not aware of what is happening behind them.
