Playing on the wrong side marra.

Still the petulant one.

Pards giving Hatem a long talk there.

Depressing.

He's not going to sit on the bench that's for sure. Will be gone soon. It will be many years before we see his kind again, if ever.

Is it really too much to ask to start this bloke for home games?

Could insert that other shit player Mata in there.

Agree normally, but I can see why against Arsenal specifically you might play all of them. Today is an exception of course. But if those three ARE playing then you don't need Goof and Siss also dropping so deep.

Yup.

I don't think we need to play Cabaye, Tiote and Anita at home...There is plenty of room for him in the side without dropping Goof or Siss.

At this point in time he's at the wrong club with the wrong manager with the wrong outlook for the what he brings to the table. If he truly wants to save his career he should get away asap. He will never win Pardew over.

We should play the player everyone always talks about. How about that?

Took Lukaku and of course he scores when he's looked disinterested for 4 weeks now.

Cabaye must have blazed over a few shots throughout the match in non-pressured situations. Hatem's a popular scapegoat though. Pardew has made sure of that. Has to play every game at home. End of.

Yup. Neither have a creative bone in their bodies. Both very athletic and get around the park and certainly will get the odd goal...But a real plan was needed today to get at their centre backs who are slow and it was clear we didn't have the first idea how to expose them even with 2/3 very pacey players in our side.

Too happy to contain them, albeit a good side...They looked fragile today with players missing would like to have see Hatem start and us really get at them.

The goal was Tiote comitted 15 fouls fault btw....Although getting on hatems back is the easy way to go...

I can't remember goof touching the ball tbh...

Same here.

Not ambitious enough today. Not enough of a goal threat till they scored and too happy to contain. This was a game that was there to be won.

Should have started. Had the whole Arsenal left side in panic for the last half an hour.

The shape of the side looks good and we're competing...There will be chances and it will just come down to who takes them. Nothing to fear here.

We're not allowed good players ffs It was something Pardew just said, 'for a club of our size and financial ability to have 36 points before January'. It pisses me off, we are a big club no matter what our owner says, and the financial stuff as proven is down to his running of the club........sick of hearing Pardew downgrade our status, just say fuck all, the cock. I'm honestly dumbfounded when I hear nonsense like that. This was the 5th richest club in Europe only a decade ago and I think we're still in the top 10/12...He can go fuck himself.
