How far has Kean-o fallen? Struggling Ipswich was crushed today and he is under heavy fire, but one league down. Yikes! You guys were definitely better off without him.

saw most of your game yesterday and as soon as you took the lead you mauled them for an hour, Houghton is doing a fine job in getting them playing as a team and not individuals. Keane however is in trouble without doubt, i think the fact he sepnt 80million and could only make us ordinary shows he lacks something....although i admit, i didnt really think that at the time mind you.



Off to the match in an hour, hope we can get one over MicMac and keep us towards to top. HAWAWAYAWAYAWAYAWAYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

great result, 5-2, although we did deserve to win i think the score was a bit harsh on Wolves in the end. Need to improve some basics and stop giiving the bloody bal away and putting us under pressure.

still very happy though (shame we have Man U and Liverpool next up) :thumbup:

Would have taken a draw all day long, but to get so close an old trafford win was a bit gutting.

keeps us going though and with an international break coming up its nice to spend two weeks with a good performance and result behind us.

Wow, I'm shocked that play was allowed to continue with that ball on the field (especially in the box), and a little surprised the goal wouldnt' be disallowed. I mean, the ball actually struck the thing!

love a day out at the beach.


Great game should have one by 2 or 3 to be honest. Still if you dont take your chances it going to be a tight finish. 7 minutes added on made it a bit nervy but well worth it, nearly lost my voice.

I work with a big Liverpool fan and he was understandably PISSED today. As an Arsenal fan, I just have to LOL.

Big win by Sunderland today. After all the gushing the commentators did about Arsenal, not once did they talk about how big a loss Van Persie is to the side. When you have Eduardo, who is pretty small, up front, you have to rely on pinpoint passing and not playing in the air. Arsenal isn't used to not having a big guy, whether it's Adebayor, Bentner or Van Persie, up front.

RVP was a big miss agree, he was in great form too. Thing is Arsenal bnever use use the big lad a target man but sometimes just having something different is needed. Lots of little dink dunk passes but without really cutting though us, i think once vela got through and tried to lift it over the keeper. Arshavin and Wallcot came on and did little to help either.

Sunderland played very well with the spine of our team missing (Jones, Cattermole, Turner, Gordon) in years gone by we woud have crumbled with 4 big players out. Cana was a rock as usual and our new centre half paring did great too.

Arshavin should have started, but Wenger was looking ahead to the Champions League, same thing happened to most of the big teams all over Europe, actually.

Tough loss for my Gunners! I don't see us winning the Prem this year, but we've got a good foundation. If Bent is not in the starting XI for the Three Lions in South Africa, then he would be getting the shaft. I thought Sunderland played an excellent game, although their willingness to push the pace near the end of the game almost cost them.
