Deary me AP you are so so lucky to get away with that

What did he say pre derby?

I got the line up correct: knew AP would base his team on what happened against Spurs

Brett Holman (pre contract) to Aston Villa from AZ Alkmaar

Thats why we'll sign Benjamin Corgnet

That was another Pen for Betis!! ref has bottled it big time

Iraney has been class

Lucky b4stards

This ref sucks

Best La Liga match this season

Pelanty!

Betis have been superb! What a match

I'm sure he's a winger?

Montero has been really good

I don't want us to be overrun in midfield: by my reckoning it'll be Song, Arteta and Ramsey in mid with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott providing the width with Van Persie up top: If we can somehow nulify the midfield 3 with Jonas, Tiote and Cabaye, and counter with HBA, Ba and Obertan we may have a chance of a point or so. Think I have been watching Mourinho's teams too much

Fair enough: I just think we will get beat up like we did against Spurs if we play with 2 up top: having said that, we will have Tiote and Cabaye back. We could in theory play Ba as the #10 and HBA to exploit the weakness of Gibbs You happy now

4-4-1-1 for me: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Colocinni, Santon, Obertan, Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas, HBA and Ba Wouldn't necessarily play HBA as a #10: I'd play him in between Sagna and Koscienly but a bit deeper: like a 2nd left winger and have Jonas slighly infield: basically narrowing the space for Arsenal

Would love to see a compilation of his 2nd half performance

I just don't think AP is getting the best out of him (AP has failed in his promise of how the team will play: hoof ball rather than on the deck since December really): his tactics don't help, nor does lack of competition for his played. That being said I thought he was much improved in the 2nd half: you're not going to see the best out of him until next season, once he's had one full season to digest the Premier League.

Was just about to post the same thing (or a RB like Sagna): An area that needs massive improvement in the summer

Absolute wank that half!!!!!!! Why are we making rash challenges all the time? Play some football for crying out loud!! Its constant long balls time after time....our strikers can't do much with that: keep it on the floor ffs Pardew you better sort that out at HT you fool

Very good

Dijon 1-0 up! Gael Kakuta Was that one of the managers smoking? Corgnet hauled off - looks a really good player

Dijon 1-0 up! Gael Kakuta

Cognet really looks like a good player
