Just now, Pizy said:

VAR has fucked me up so much that I didn't react at all when Jorginho scored. Just sat there completely stone faced thinking "there's no way Arse allowed him that much space so there had to have been a foul." 

But wow, Jorginho turned the game on its head when he came on. Ran the show from that moment on. Arse made us look like a pub side for the first 25 minutes but we controlled the 2nd half and they didn't really get a sniff.

I was in exactly the same place Pizy. Didnt move a muscle until the decision was made... then I screamed my house down. God damn VAR is shit.

Well, where to even begin with that win? :lol: Bantered our way to victory over Arsenal, which I think on a whole is a perfect summary of this rivalry over the past decade (plus 5-6 years before that). 

Not sure if we deserved the win but perhaps we deserved that bit of luck that we haven't had this season. The performance up until Jorginho came on was horrendous - mind boggling Lampard chose to play the back 3 again when we did it at Spurs in a specific context - unlike Spurs last weekend, Arteta and Arsenal were ready for that system. That said, apart from their goal, they very rarely threatened us defensively. Credit to Lampard for changing things way earlier than expected - compared to Mourinho sticking with his starting system until it was too late last weekend for example. However, while we did dominate pretty much the entire game after Jorginho came on, we still created next to nothing and had to rely on Leno's big blunder and Mustafi being Mustafi to turn things around. Quality reinforcements, if possible, are much needed in January!

Same!! Was waiting for it to be ruled off. 

Win even sweeter that we came from  goal down!

If we ever ever go back to a back three for whatever reason Lamptey needs to start with either Azpi or James playing RCB.

There's no balance playing those 3 CBs (only one of which specialist ball player), one wingback who can't attack and one who can barely do anything.

I didn't celebrate the equalizer anyway, would have been two points dropped if we drew that.

Everyone on twitter like @Jason get this spreading :lol:

Hahahahaha that‘s what Arsenal are. A useless midtable club with deluded fans and a laughing stock. Thanks for the 3 points delivery again, London is BLUE.

It's amazing how one goalkeeper mistake can change narrative about this game for so many people. 

Mate we all know the issues.

But you have to take the solace when it is available.

It's the rollercoaster of emotions 😀

I screamed at the TV and to my son at 30 minutes get Jorginho on as nobody had control of the ball. I also said haul Emerson and go to a 4.

Two halves of football couldn't be any more different.

I'm fucking delighted.

I think we all agree on the first half being one of the worst performances ever but Lampard didn‘t really look happy after the match either so I am pretty optimistic he knows the issues.

I imagine Mourinho vomitting before the Tv at the end
