The shirt is his now IMO. As long he doesn't look a liability then Harps will have to wait his turn.

Couple of dodgy kicks today, but overall great performance. I'd give a bottle of champagne for that save alone.

I would absolutely love this to happen!

Full credit to the man today, you could see what his plan was and it worked. He also managed to keep faith in the 442 while tweaking it to protect the midfield a bit more. Stuff like that is a much better way to manage than putting out a 451 and sending the lads out with the wrong mindset. He also seems a master of motivation as well, I've rarely seen a player look as convincing as Barton after the game today... when he was talking about every player being totally behind each other.

I understand = I made this up

He was quiet today but it wasn't a match where our attacking players could expect much quality possession. We should have no worries about him in general, great member of the team.

The funny thing about Arsenal was that they seemed to lose their patience in the second half... they started launching balls forward and clipping Nicky Butt-style aimless balls over the top. If they'd kept the ball down and kept moving it around they might well have scored. Still, great performance by us in general... we could have conceded but overall we all fought like lions to get the point. It was a bit frustrating at times to see us not getting forward, but can obviously understand why. Judging by Barton's comments the spirit in the camp is probably the best it's been in recent times, and as long as we've got that we should be able to pull off plenty more good results this season.

Cocaine-fueled orgies all round!

Does anyone know how to pronounce "Delfouneso" properly? Can't be "Delfonzo", surely?

Balls.

Spurs are getting battered here.

In a parellel universe maybe, in reality this is asking for a hiding.

Always thought it's a bit harsh that a player gets sent off and has to miss the next game.

I don't normally like to mock, but that's amazing.

Beresford in particular was very poor from what I remember, we conceded a massive amount of our goals down his flank.

Carr was rank, absolutely terrible... amazing that he's still playing in the Premier League.

We got to the Champions League with an absolutely terrible defence. On paper it looks embarrassing now.

Also, he wouldn't have to see Harry Redknapp's face every day.

Can't criticise them for giving away tickets to kids IMO. If we were struggling for crowds I'd like us to do the same. It's not like you can force people to come to the match, always thought judging clubs by their attendances is a bit stupid.

Aye and Hughton is going nowhere Exactly!

Step off Andy, join the queue.

There are only two or three managers in the world with big enough names to handle the situation at Man City IMO, that will be a big problem for them.

http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/10-11-ivory-coast-away-shirt.html The home shirt is on offer at £29.99. Perfect, thank you. The African unity shirt is on offer too... it's disgusting but the thought it good!

There's no point in that attitude. We're capable of a draw here if we play well and Arsenal aren't at their best. They've had a trip to Russia and back while we've had a week off on the back of a big result. Who knows, teams do go there and win, if you catch them on an off day or the ref gives you a chance, anything can happen. Arsenal will of course be favourites but the players have to be positive and go there believing they can nick something. It will be a different game to our second string against theirs in the cup last week. I agree with all the things in our favour, and I really hope we can get something. But those extra weights on our side of the balance can only tip it so far, we're miles behind Arsenal in terms of ability. Hughton will have the lads ready to go I'm sure, but we can't put too much importance on the result of this one IMO.

I don't think there's a much better formation option than this current one. Even if we do get well beaten, I wouldn't say it means out tactics are wrong. We all know Arsenal have a far superior team.
