The wires are buzzing with praise about our play and the entertainment value the new team/style are bringing. I am not sure how they divvy up the TV games, but I think we are playing such easy on the eye football and providing real drama in every game we play that we should be near the top of the pile both here and abroad. This can only reflect well on income and world fan base.

I almost didn't go, due to family reasons, but glad I did as it was another impressive display for 60/70 minutes. As others have said, would have been happy with a 2-2 draw before the match and certainly would have been when we were 1-0 down. But, losing so late on, again, felt like a defeat. I couldn't see the McArthur challenge but by all accounts it deserved a red, in which case I would have been very happy with the point. Be interesting to see how we do against Newcastle and in our November games. These really are the matches we should start to pick up some wins. If we don't, it will be a frustrating season however beautiful the football is. It's worth repeating that The Emirates really is a library at times.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

See a certain 'Arsenal' legend vented his spleen against us, again.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I much prefer games like that when they're not blowing up every 30 seconds[/i] I so agree, I'm not a fan of "soft" players diving on the floor every five minutes (even some of ours do it). That's why I always think of the 60's as a golden age. No soft c0ck football going on there, when men were men and sheep were scared. Edited by Rogers the legend (19 Oct 2021 8.03am) Why was Pepe not booked for that horrendous dive?

For me the key was Gallagher lying on the floor and the ref allowing play to continue when we had the ball.

What does last night mean for our front line against Newcastle? Both strikers scored, Olise again contributed when he came on. I doubt Benteke and Edouard would have been PV's first choice front line, but was forced with Zaha out. I don't think that Ayew is justifying his place in the team, when you look at what Olise is contributing per minutes played. A good problem to have I guess. Maybe Wilf doesn't get straight back in the team. Maybe Olise starts.
