tractor boys doing well, they only need to hang on for another 45 minutes

Arsenal need Chamakh on I think, RVP coming too deep for possession and the midfield area is too crowded.

only 3 shots on target ffs

Arshavin has just spent the whole game staring at his boots. Time to get him of!!

Right Arsenal!

Time to go on this unbelieveable run we've all been dreaming about!!

Can't help but be deflated after watching the real time "as it stands" premier league table and watching untieds points total go from 48, to 49, and then 51 in the second half.

The league will take care of itself. It's only January and the situation is the same. Arsenal will always have to beat Utd at the Emirates. I'm confident Utd will drop more than 2 points as well as that. However, Arsenal would need to win every game themselves and I cannot see that happening but tonight was always going to be about Utd winning that game in hand. The key is not to allow Utd build up more than the current gap. If Arsenal are sitting 5 points behind at the start of March I'd be relatively pleased.

As for the Carling Cup, thank feck for that. Feb 27th is a day to look forward to. But what about Arshavin eh? Assists coming out of his ears but his general play is pathetic right now. Oddly, Arsenal have conceded very few this year; in fact none in the league atall.

Onwards to the quadruple.

Spot on O'Neill squeaky bum isn't till mid March onwards

Hopefully it will be Birmingham in the final, big pitch won't suit their park a bus tactics...

Thought it was going to be a perfect night with us primed to win at half time and Utd down by 2 .

Well, I was half right !!

If United can't lose a game 2-0 down with 30 to go - it certainly makes our plight all the more daunting.

ONeill · January 25, 2011, 11:57:01 PM

I think the Utd unbeaten thing is bugging the feck outta Arsenal fans.

Surely they won't. It's the one thing we have.

Surely not.

Dinny Breen · January 26, 2011, 09:55:08 AM

They won't

Gaffer · January 30, 2011, 12:37:36 PM
