    Figure of speech. Still completely prevented him from shooting in what was more or less a 1v1 position.

    It has to be said that it was a ****ing stupid challenge from Kos, but the red was harsh. Both of our goals came from a combination of poor referreing and sloppy defending. A pretty **** half all round.

    But, if we get one early in the second half then it's game on. We might as well go out and try to score and lose 0-4 than play it safe, we've got nothing to lose really.

    Koscielny is a twit. You'd think by now he'd have wizened up to PL ref's. If he still thinks it's acceptable to rugby tackle someone in the penalty area, then he shouldn't be a top flight defender. he has that silly self destruct button in built. He cost us against Chelsea, and he's hurt us again today.

    Uh huh, last season we had the best striker in the league, we don't this time around, and we have a very very inconsistent team.

    Anyways, that Southampton draw looks real good now, haha, to the ****ing idiots who said that at the time. 5 points dropped now, could be 8 by next week.

    When you can't keep possession your defense will have more work to do. Nothing convenient about it, it's what happens to every team.

    We aren't dealing with the added pressure, but these are not in any way normal circumstances.

    Because being 10 men down to the League Champions would be the same like 11 v 11 <doh>

    Let's consider there was some uncertainty in the intent due to the coming together. Did Kos attempt to minmise the foul or just act to protect himself? Or did he just take the opportunity to guarantee to wipe Dzeko out? Making the decision to wrap both arms around the opponent forfeits any claims to the benefit of the doubt.

    Shame Rosicky isn't on the bench. He could have been useful today, given he's a little dynamo.

    I hope you do go all out cos I think they'll batter you if you do which will
    a)damage you confidence and
    b)worsen your goal difference which could be very important come May.

    If you keep it tight for 20-25 mins and sneak a goal from a set piece of on the break you might get something from the match.
