Blue Armour

Good morning/night folks...

The fucking referee has had more touches on the ball than our forwards!!

Ashley Cole has finally burned out...

Any chance we're going to get two penalties today?

The rest are hardly any better...today only Ivan, Essien and Mata seem to have their heads screwed on properly and even they're losing patience....

Players are like clothes here

Last time I checked, Sturridge was wearing the no.23 shirt for Chelsea...can't believe so many people are over-reacting to stuff from the tabloids

I'm no Mikel fan, but if Barcelona can do with Busquets I don't see why we should complain about having Mikel as an option.

Saw Terry tackling (NFL style) Lukaku? I remember him doing the same thing to Didier in another vid...

Who would have thought that one dumb QPR fan could achieve so much... That's the butterfly effect for ya!

To quote one of the readers from the Mail; "If half the stories published in the Mail were true, Arsenal would have won the league by now"

Me too, though I see potential in Ivanovic....however, if fairy tales can come true then we could have a like-for-like replacement in:

You know what, I had that same feeling. After the first penalty, nothing that occured in the match surprised me.

The fact that United drew was more due to our weakness, rather than their strength

Been noticing that in the past few games...It looks like he's been taking notes from Didier by going wide and crossing, turning his back to goal and all that..that's all fine,.but he's forgetting who he really is, in the process!

I agree with this. Why don't we just open a chat system for the match duration, to collect comments based on real-time events, and conventional thread below to collect pre-match, half-time and post-match analysis from the posters?

Only in the second half after we got a lead and immediately grabbed a second. It was a good performance considering so many first-teamer's were out at the same time.However, even if full credit should go to the players, it was indeed very fortunate we grabbed a 3-0 lead.

For Peace!

Very encouraging performance,...could go a long way in helping us in the Champions League campaign

His injury record...a problem that continues to plague him to this day

That I do agree with. I was asking about the player that had to go out. Was Malouda, really bringing out the best in Mata like Peace said. And how much was he contributing besides that?

Not laying the entire blame on Avb, bUT: , who would you have removed between Sturridge and Malouda? Logic would suggest keeping the more experience player on the pitch to defend, but I thought Danny was helping by atleast pegging Evra back. Whereas Flo was just having another off-day helping out neither at the back or upfront...

Once again, all things considered its still a great result, but I'm still disappointed with AVB's sub for Sturridge, when there was a player in Malouda who wasn't doing much defensively either. All he lost was a major attacking outlet that was pegging Evra back

Good post...no doubt we shouldn't have drawn the way we did, but if someone offered a draw at the start of the match I would have taken it. Shows there's plenty more left in our team, even if it doesn't get the title. Can't wait for Terry and the rest of the boys to get back and get us back in gear

Glad to see I'm being proven wrong..yes!!!! Prove me wrong again Torres, you useless muck!!!
