What are you on about?

Pretty rubbish 2nd half to be honest. Decent enough in the first half, apart from that practical joke or whatever it was. But we never got going in the 2nd half, pretty boring to be honest. No threat, Lambert had a nightmare. Awful. Jay got quieter as the game went on, and we missed the runs of Shaw and Clyne down the flanks, so we had no width for that 2nd half. Davis didn't have the impact that they wanted him to have, was anonymous. Didn't effect the game at all. Osvaldo struggled to get into it, but he got no service and was playing in front of a very narrow side. Overall, we'll have much better days. It was always going to be a hard match, but it's a shame we didn't make more of a match of it. Looks like we have a few casualties on the back of this too, so could well become a Saturday to forget.

Our old friend, Kevin Friend.

How many times has Lambo been offside today? Should never have been offside there.

I'm confused.

It's just incredible. Crouch (the player the ref thinks was fouled) is actually passed Wes Brown, then wes brown decides to try and win the ball, not studs up. so he didn't' actually tackle anyone.

Wes Brown got a red card for not actually touching, fouling or hurting a player. Rubbish refereeing.

That red card up at Stoke, what the actual ****?

Tube breakdown.

I imagine Boruc is about to be given a little talking to by MP. Good half, all being told. Passed the ball well, used it well, created some chances. Overall, it's just the goal that will be spoken about. Stars of the half for me, Jay, Wanyama and Clyne.

He is having an absolute stunner.

Jay has had a fantastic game so far in my eyes, showing everyone exactly why England called him up. Not his fault he was included in a shambles.

it was said in jest, calm down.

To be fair, we already had made a decent staqrt.

They've had problems for weeks now, like their servers can't cope with the demand. Even if you contact them they tell you to do stupid stuff like clearing your cache, watching on a wired connection. They won't admit defeat, but they've got big issues now. As soon as the 3pm KO's start, it's down.

He had a great big brain fart, and thought he was an outfield player.

Game over.

Well, you'll still be seen as a bit silly then won't you?

That stream is a non-stop bufferthon. Buffers once every 5 seconds, pretty much unwatchable. AJS doesn't work anymore either. Stuffed.

This has now completely died. Can't even load the page.

I saw him against Sunderland. He was awful i felt.

I'm using SmartDNS - Overplay.

It has made a huge difference so far.

This game is mental. Good result for us if it stays as a draw.

Unfortunately it probably will dictate it. This one change is a pretty clear example of why we're not quite in the same bracket as the current top 6, we don't have the depth. Starting 11 - brilliant. But if we start losing members of that 11, which will happen over the season, we don't have real quality to step in. I'm not saying we need equals on the bench, but if we're honest -as good a bloke as he is - Jos is not a PL footballer, so it's not ideal that we're having to rely on him. I hope he goes out there, scores a goal and proves me wrong, but I just get the feeling that Arsenals attack will run rings around him.
