    Wenger ****ed up badly? I only saw the last 35 mins, but we should have won 7-0 or so, except their keeper had a blinder and Podolski was unlucky on 2 occasions. Maybe the 1st half was different, but we dominated as expected.
    Even against the ****test teams in the league, it is still difficult to win 10-0 all the time Kyle.

    70% possession, 32 shots, 18 corners, 3 goals, 0 conceded.

    Top it off with no injuries and the return of Walcott plus more minutes for Ramsey and it's smiles all round.

    Surely everyone is happy with today?

    Yeh it's worth mentioning there keeper had a football manager game. So many fantastic saves. Against a keeper not as on the ball we would of had a handful more goals.

    Notice how suddenly we were good when we had a balanced midfield rather than a really boring uncreative midfield who couldn't even protect the defence properly. I may not like him, but Ramsey has to start if he's fit, Arteta and Flamini is way too negative, and neither can defend properly so it defeats the object of playing 2 CDMs.

    Except in both games we've used Arteta and Flamini together we've dominated the midfield and our opponents didn't do **** attacking wise.

    Sunderland and Burnley are unlikely to do **** attacking wise anyway. Flamini and Arteta are a poor pairing. The sooner Ramsay is fit and in form the better.

    And that point is invalidated because Burnley should have scored today. What idiots voted you as mod? Why isn't SJW a mod anymore?

    I do actually agree.

    Arteta and Flamini do not work together. Wellbeck ended up playing too deep because those two were too far back left a lot of space in midfield.

    But on the whole today was a big improvement . Played with a lot more energy.

    Please explain how Burnley should have scored. Go on I'm waiting. They only had 2 shots on goal FFS but yeah they should have scored <doh>

    Was happy to see Walcott back.
    He looked sharp too.

    Ings right at the end should have scored but fired it at Chez. Or did you not bother watching that part?

    And Chesney saved it. That's what the GK is there for. How that equates to they should have scored is just appalling logic. His shot was not good enough to beat our goalkeeper.

    And if it was an actual premiership player in that position, they would have scored.

    On the basis of should have/could have.. surely that means the result should have been circa 7 - 1 ?

    Ings plays for Burnley FC. Burnley FC is a team in the Barclays Premier League. Therefore he is a Premiership player. Ypur logic is awful and makes **** all sense. Just another try to bitch about nothing.

    Calling Burnley a Premier League side is silly. They may play in this league, but they're no more a PL side than a goldfish is a cat.

    i am, but I would bet that all the moaning whinging ones won't be. they will moan that we didn't score enough. we had 32 shots and on another day could have done a Southampton and got eight.

    32 shots but only 3 goals is pretty pathetic tbh. That's worse accuracy than watching a 200 minute long video of the best of Olivier Giroud.
