This fucking thread. NE5 levels of tedium.

The 'negative' thing coincided with S Taylor getting injured. Pre-Chelsea we pressured high up the pitch and looked to play on the front foot, that definitely changed after that and the drubbing at Norwich.

Norwich, Everton, Swansea I can abide. Rest can get aids for all I care.

That perception and their fans, who are up there with Liverpool's as the most annoying in the league in my opinion, means I developed a strong dislike for them over the last few years. Wenger also can't take losing and RvP is clearly a classless winner, tossers.

He reminds me of me when trying to defend, clearly tries but just doesn't know how to go about it and consequently gets skinned for fun. Shame that about 80% of his touches came in our half cos he's a total lad on the attack.

One thing pretty noticeable is not a lot of work goes into attacking 'plays' and working decent positions with the ball, because we look very hit and miss going forward. The movement in midfield is especially abysmal.

Totally agree. Maybe that's always been Allardyce's problem, he wants to pass it but he's always just had shit footballing centre halves. Good one. +1point.

I don't think he instructed us to go long in the second half, it's just what happens sometimes when you're pushed back and Williamson, Simpson and Krul are shit scared of playing football. Would have liked to seen us give more a go in the second half, but you risk getting caught out like we did, so it's a fine balance. Norwich is big for him, I think. Ba, Cisse and Ben Arfa should all play, but it's debatable whether he'll do it. Personally can see Shola starting.

I'd bring Guthrie back in and go three in midfield, he being asked to do too much. Jonas can drop out. Need to get him on the ball further up the pitch, he's too small to play in the deep destroyer role.

Fucking hate Arsenal.

Typical that we'd get them when they're probably in the best form of their season. The likes of Rosicky and Song have stepped up the last couple of weeks, that coupled with Ox and RvP in attack and Sagna back means I think we'll do well to get a point. Would like to see: Krul Raylor Williamson Colo Santon Obertan Tiote Cabaye Jonas Hatem Ba

Fucking kill him tbh

Was class. That bit where he did someone and fell over was hilarious though.

Disappointed and was since the final whistle, if the pen had gone in we would have won, 100% sure of that.

They were shit scared of him, he can be the thing that gives us a final push as the season closes out, because the team looks stale atm.

Off out to make the 20 second walk to the union pub, fuckin come on.

Hungry/headache.

Really looking forward to tomorrow, won't get any grief from Mackems if we lose so can't say I'm too nervous, more nervous about dropping the chance to draw level with Chelsea.

PR cliche bingo.
