Put the shoe on the other foot. Merson should have lost his job years ago for being a **** pundit. Just about the worst. The **** him.
The problem in these kind of games was that we often started slowly and went a goal or two down quite quick. If we start much better, like we have so far under Silva, then we could do better than usual.
Strange game tomorrow. The team who score first might well achieve an advantage if the other side does not,failing that scoring more than they conceed could see one side take full advantage unless it's a draw of course.
The Arsenal defence is appallingly bad, we need to put it under scrutiny tomorrow, the same way we did against Liverpool. Away from home suits our counter attack better as the onus is on Arsenal to attack us. It is perhaps our best opportunity to punish Arsenal and we're long over due a result against these mockney ****ers.
4pts from Chelsea, Man U & Liverpool gives us the opportunity to take this game as a one off and attack the bastards! Like as been said we really do owe them one! They don't like it up em! 1-2
Kind of agree but not if it means we end up losing 4 or 5 nil. We do need to keep one eye on goal difference.
If we start much better, like we have so far under Silva, is what you said. Youre a bore and pretty much on a wind up all the time.
Nothing Silva has shown so far suggests he's ever going to throw caution to the wind and go all gung-ho - he lines up our defensive shape as a solid base to attack from, he has us defending in strict lines, we attack with pace when the chance arises. I think he's a very pragmatic coach ..... I like it so far. I'd love to hear the Arsenal fans whinging and pissing at a dour and defensive 0-0 until the 93rd minute when we break away to steal a winner with the last kick of the game. Cue City fans celebrating like loonies and hysterical ''anti-football'' rants from Wenger, Merson and all the other ex Arsenal ****s.

Its giving me sleepless nights. I hope we've scrapped it by the time we play Burnley. Cos i can see them Stoke and Palace having a field day. Shawcross charging in with a free run and jump on a static CB!! kinell
I don't like it either Chazz but, I'm guessing with Ranocchia in the team and him spending all his career using the Italian black arts of defending that some of it will rub off.
Start much better in games I meant. I'm talking about this particular game, I thought that was obvious. I think people who go around swearing at people are wind ups.
Basic defending though innit spes. You never let your man get a run on you. Fingers crossed. Youre a bullshitter matey on a wind up.
