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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
