Agree to an extent but even in the first half Arsenal carved out opportunity after opportunity!! Gervinho miss, RVP miss, Ramsey had a good chance I think We were unlucky too because Sturridge should have provided a couple of goals on a plate but poor judgement by him. But we should not be that open against such pacey teams

Well said matey! and honestly, I wasn't expecting us to win the title this season. It's a fucking work in progress.

I'm just sick of these attacks on AVB and I'm sure there will be more so I'm just going to avoid the forums for a couple of days

Yup. Like I said in my previous post, it's just the defense that worries me tbh. We have improved our attack a great deal (although TOrres didn't do anything today) but Mata, Meireles, Sturridge provide what we lacked last season. Whatever AVB feels we lack in that area (Modric or Hazard etc) we'll try to sign in January. High line does not work. Time to get bnack to the drawing boards!!! Sturridge will learn. He's had what? 6 + 2 months of first team action. Before that what was he doing? Oh it was reserve team football which is shite compared to the rela deal. He is young and he WILL learn.

Once we sort out our defense, we'll be ok I feel! Meireles shouild have come on instead of Malouda. Raul did well after coming on, tried to make some quick passes and through balls. Lamps was clearly not doing it during the 2nd half. Really unlucky that Anelka couldn't have been a sub. Lukaku is still rusty but atleast he put himself about and I respect that

lol - agreed! Better to get it sorted now than to have this nonsense continue on for the whole season.

Bosingwa for their fifth!!!!! What the fuck was that?!?!?!?!?! Just disgraceful. There we were, trying desperately to get an equalizer and he just strolls around the pitch He should not have allowed RVP that much of space. Should have gotten closer immediately when the ball entered their half.

Iva should have played at RB instead of Bosingwa. He just disappeared during the second half.

Our defense has finally got found out today. The signs have been there all season, but the teams that we've played haven't been good enough to take advantage. Man Utd did and now Arsenal have as well. AVB has to sort this out. The "score one goal more than them" attitude only goes so far. Malouda was just a fucking joke. People will blame JT for their fourth - can't wait to see the papers tomorrow!! - but it was Malouda's fault. Even if JT had not slipped, RVP would have beaten him by sheer pace alone

Would be interesting if we started with Bran and brought Bosingwa on in the 2nd half to run at tired legs (if needed) but unlikely

He did not mean it to say that Terry should be immediately exonerated but that he should be given more respect - which is true.

Cech Oh & re: this - I was quite disappointed that Malouda was the captain on Wednesday. I thought Bran would have been the choice after Petr.

And that post was edited after the real author came and replied to this thread. Swoopz originally commented to tortilla's post by saying that he was the author. The "edited post" line doesn't appear anymore but I hope I wasn't imagining things. Hopefully tortilla can confirm??

Don't see why AVB is being annoying? Can understand if you feel that way about what Jose used to do but AVB has to defend the players, for fucks sake. I like a manager that fights for his team. This is exactly what the scum that is the media want to do - make everyone hate AVB and the club. Can't believe our own fans are turning against him too.

+1 Seriously man, that's pathetic. Not only did you make countless analysis posts without linking back to the original site, but you actually had the cheek to claim that you were the author when asked directly. WOW. Just saw your edited reply. STAY CLASSY. :no:

I'm sure they will - especially after witnessing this close a vote. Honestly, the way it was looking, I was expecting a 60-70% NO vote.

If so then that's probably a little closer than I thought it was going to be. If only the club would be a little more transparent - they would have no problems in getting 75% Edit: yup the tweets by Sky & Telegraph have disappeared. They realized their mistake.

Some sources are saying that 61% voted AGAINST the proposal - I.E. Sky and Telegraph twitters but it's actually 61% that voted FOR the proposal, isn't it?

Errrr they voted no. So the club has lost the vote.

Who is this ED?? He can fuck right off.

Always look forward to your posts, Swoopz

Thanks laura, I will check that site as kickoff nears. And I agree with lecter, audio commentary would be better than nothing. Why was Wolves v City chosen before us? From an unbiased standpoint, Everton v Chelsea is a "bigger" game than Wolves v City.
