    Played well today. Annoying bullshit at the end but at least it wasnt the thrashing some expected.

    Could be worse. Could have shipped 4 at home to Watford in a half-empty stadium.

    Absolutely gutting, wasn't expecting anything today but the way it's happened is such a shame.

    Oh well we move on.

    Two MASSIVE home games for both us and CP next week.

    Take a few hours to get over that, but we played pretty well, Puel got it mostly right, so a bit more confident about our season. Wonder what angry Claude sounds like.

    Disappointed with the result, as we kept Arsenal at bay for most of the game and looked like we would get a point. A good effort today but again we seem to slow things down when we get in good positions and are too narrow and get exposed when our full-backs go forward. Was not expecting anything from the game and it is not a disaster but a shame to lose today in the end.

    Long fouled. Head injury. They were both doing the same thing, then Fonte gets the ball. ****ing bullshit.

    I already agreed on that point; it absolutely should have been stopped, and I don't think that the pen should have been given, either. But none of that changes the fact that this is a really bad season in which to have a handful of shirt in clear view of the referee, particularly when it wasn't necessary.

    Hard enough to play against a team like Arsenal but to have a ref do that .....gifted them 3 points.

    Anyhow, there we go. We lost thanks to a twat of a ref.

    Regardless, we all thought we'd lose today, and (in reality) we got a draw (ignoring Bobby). Which is good. We did well and could have won it in terms of actual chances. I do think we're kinda hard to love at the moment with this system though. I don't like Tadic through the middle/up top like that at all.

    My main conclusion being that I hope with all my heart never to have to suffer listening to that berk of a co-commentator ever again though.

    So that's 2 points and 3 goals from 4 games. Slow out of the blocks to say the least.

    Well, on to Swansea. Huge, huge game, given our fixture pileup and a very difficult stretch to follow. Come hell or high water, we simply have to win.
