Having just watched a full re-run of the game (stone cold sober) i think the scoreline flatters Arsenal. If PVA had had his shooting boots on, he should have buried that chance near the end, which would have made it 2-2. There's a decent team in there, and they gave Arsenal a tough game. Must say im not that impressed with either Yedin or Lens. But apart from that a bloody good performance. Oh and Fletchers ****ing beard man. Pundits raving about the game and improvement under SA.
Aye, I missed the game live as I was visiting my mam in hospital. Watched the replay of the full match last night. As you say, despite the result there was a lot of positives in that performance. I thought Kaboul had a cracking game.
Out of the last three games, we've won two and lost to Arsenal away. What the hell can people find to grumble about? A couple of months ago, Palace, Stoke and Arsenal would probably have meant three losses. I think Sam's done a good job so far. There is just one big worry for me - what the hell are you doing sober? Edit - Billy, good luck with your mam.
You could have expected this to happen, Bournemouth now the mags, Liverpool were woeful though, I hope they play like that when they come here. A revised Norwich, Swansea and Villa for the drop now then. Sunderland were excellent at Arsenal, but for poor finishing. 2 of their goals were class. We will stop up when Defoe and company get fit, with Charlie Austin coming in as well !
Liverpool arrogance lost this, to have AL, JH, and two players who scored five goals between them in the last game sat on the bench and starting JM, JI and that useless lump they bought from Swansea in midfield was asking for trouble, the first half was the worst display of football I have seen baring us in the first month of the season. Klopp went Plopp
It's going to be close mate. Anyone in the bottom 6 or 7 cannot be discounted. Maybe Chelsea will survive but even the way they are playing, nothing can be guaranteed.
Fair enough mate. I will admit that I felt a draw might have been the fair result but then again, I am a negative nancy when it comes to Newcastle

Wonder what the odds of a Stoke, Bournmouth & Newcastle win were? Oh well, let's see what next week brings, KTF
Liverpool were worse than what Chelsea were yesterday and I thought that would be nigh on impossible. The predictor scores could be extremely low this week.
Shocked with Newcastles performance today, it wasn't a case of Liverpool not turning up, they just played for each other. That team can stay up if it replicates that sort of determination consistently but that's a huge ask. Wijnaldum is an absolute weapon, I want him at United.
You must be joking, both teams were poor but Liverpool were shocking the first hlalf performance was the worst I have ever seen from Liverpool, and Billy Liddell was in their team the first time I saw them . Fair do's the only team that deserved to win won, but no shots on target by either side until the second goal went in says it all.
I watched the Chealsea game yesterday and thought Chealsea played well, Willian was my man of the match, but Bournemouth were magnificent, and played a perfect team game, Chelsea did not, and rightly paid the price. The game today was totally different, Klopp handed the game to Newcastle on a plate with his hopelesss team selection, Joe Allen and James Milner ahead of Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson beggers belief, compounded with playing one striker up front against a team that was there for the taking, amounts to grounds for a public enquiry.
