Not a wholly unexpected loss for The Arsenal. Mr. Wenger I think your mantra that we can win something with this squad is like whistling in the dark. The first goal should have been saved, any keeper worth his salt should save at his near post. The second goal, as good as it was, could have been avoided if Song had stood his ground. Nor can we moan about injuries. Any club with the stature and resources of The Arsenal should have 2 top quality players in every position, we haven't.


As for the rest of the results, the only unexpected result was the Liverpool score. What is going on at that club??? Financial meltdown off the pitch and meltdown on it. How the mighty have fallen!


City very lucky against Newcastle who had two stone wall penalties turned down, but that's football for you.

I thought the Drogba goal was excellent and pretty much unsaveable ? I?m more inclined to point the finger at Nasri for allowing Cole in to cross


No complaints about the game ? we didn?t embarass ourselves as much as last year but still fell way short and the better team won.

Saveable perhaps but I thought Drogba's flick was unexpected and to be fair to the keeper probably took him by surprise but by and large I agree you a keeper shouldn't let anything go past him on the near post. No stopping the free-kick though.


Very pleased with the Spurs result especially with a makeshift back four and Villa in such good form since Houllier took over. No Champions League hangover either and Van Der Vaart looking like the bargain of the season.

Well at least Utd are still unbeaten...:-S


I think credit needs to be given to Drogba, it was a clever drag back on the run.

I wouldn't of been upset if van der Sar had let it in, near post or not.

I'd be more concerned at the Arse player who gave Chelski the ball when a free kick was awarded to them, while the defence was still sorting itself out, which directly led to the goal.


Any thoughts on de Jong's tackle, I didn't see it, but what with his kung fu 'tackle' in the World Cup he's certainly gaining a bit of a reputation.


Good on Big Eck for giving the 'fickle' B'ham fans a bit of stick for booing at the final whistle.


Looking forward to the upcoming Merseyside derby :)

It was awful as was Camara's for Wolves. Tackling is one thing but these were all out assaults.

I appreciate that Eck is defending his team and more so his tactics, but Birmingham fans are not being fickle. We just have an expectation that we should be looking to win our home games and playing 4-5-1 is not the way to do this. The start to the season is similar to last year in many ways except that Eck had switched to 4-4-2 at home by now and that was the catalyst for the win against Sunderland that started our unbeaten year in home games. At least that monkey is now off our back. I'm a big fan of Eck and what he has done on limited resources but I think that he has to be more positive. I don't condone booing myself but understand the reaction of those around me last Saturday who did boo.

Perhaps he should spend more time toughening them up for such games. Everyone from Chelsea to the bloke down the pub know that Arsenal don't like aggressive play and many teams take advantage of it. I say play up, play up and play the game.

No it doesn't.


It suggests that as well as falling down with a gust of wind, Arsenal players have also sustained several broken legs.

Contact was there so it was a penalty. Unlike the dubious awards for Spurs against Twente, and as for Huddlestones fore arm smash, well the less said the better, distinct lack of talent and tekkers.

Interesting point. Barcelona are one of the shortest and lightest teams in La Liga. I don't recall them having to put up with as many broken limbs as The Arsenal. This because they have far fewer argicultural, journeyman players that litter the English game.

C'mon Keef, my post was very much tongue in cheek, although I hate using them perhaps in hindsight I should've added a winking smiley...

I think you missed the point.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
