Howard Webb looked like he was going to punch him

What's your thoughts on Andre at the moment?

Yeahh, signs of improvement though I suppose. What he really needs to exploit is his ability to slip past defenders and get in 1-on-1 positions with the keeper, he does it very well.

I kind of agree, but at the same time, Miereles' tackling really needs to addressed. He's really reckless sometimes, comes from behind a player too. I think he has a role to play, but we need a DM behind him first. Ramires might be able too, we have a very diverse midfield at the moment.

Yeah, I don't think our defenders have properly adapted to this high line yet. We underestimated Arsenal's pace, they did beat the offside trap quite a few times.

Yeah, thought he was a bit unlucky to get subbed off for Lukaku. It's really good to have that energy back into our midfield.

Okay guys, I know it's a hard defeat to take. First Queens Park Rangers & now Arsenal. London derbies haven't been very good on us this week. It's a learning curve for everyone in the club, the support and spirit must stick through the entire club and fan base. Can I request we stop insulting members, throwing round terms like "glory hunter" and "go back to united/city/barcelona". It's kind of embarrassing to read. We're all fans here, and things get said when emotions run high. No-one's speaking and thinking rationally at the moment.

Relax mate, he was kidding.

Yeah, that's true. But I think we can take solace in that too. I'm not saying we didn't play bad defensively, because obviously we did, but luck came down to it today more than tactical play. There some over-dramatic things being said here, because of the emotions running high. Everyone just needs to remember what the aims of this season are.

Haha, one day

Good post, think there should be a little emphasis on the RVP factor. I think it was important, his form, coming into the game. We were perhaps a bit naive when it came to him I think?

Yeah, but it was unlucky. We were 3-3 and momentum was with us and that was unlucky. RVP was always going to capitalise on it. There was real fight though, that can't be doubted.

He is a student of the game, he is growing stronger. His emotion displayed emphasised by the spirit of the team today. He will analyse this game over, and over. As he will with the QPR one. Relax.. This is a learning curve for everyone. André will come good.

Come on you lot, settle down. Emotions run high, things get said. Let's stop making ridiculous mountains out of molehills.

Why are we all arguing? I saw some spirit in this team today, didn't anyone else? We were unlucky to catch Van Persie on form, we were unlucky Terry slipped when he did but these things happen. We still have a strong squad which will see us still up there in May. Arsenal are still shaky! Don't forget we slipped 3 past them today, they're terrible away from home. They will go on a poor run, so will we, but we'll come out the end. I saw Terry, Lampard, Mata, Cole & Torres giving it their all today. Brighten up you lot, AVB is still working his way round this league.. There are so many positives from today!

I dunno. I'm not that disappointed? Like I am, but not as much. We were undone by a striker on the form of his life. Van Persie's got 30+ goals in the calender year and he's been scoring regularly anyway. Defensive stupidities on both sides, but hey, it was a good game (Juan Mata <3). It sucks falling behind the Manchester Duo, but ah well. I was encouraged tbh.

I personally think he still is the finisher in the squad. Torres is good, but show him on the left-foot and it's a whole 'nother story.

Oh..

But why should they have another CPO? There's simply no need, from Chelsea's point of view. That's very understandable imo.

In fairness, he did apologise

'My decision was made some time ago but I felt obliged to remain in office until the process that led to yesterday's general meeting of the company was concluded.' Hmm.. I wonder if he's had a little pay off since

I'm so confused.. Have we signed him then or what?

Wenger's latest conspiracy So now UEFA's scared of us..

I think Alex should've won it first. Caught Luiz by surprise..
