I know which I prefer, but we'll never get that under the current regime. tbf Wenger shut up shop with 20 minutes to go today, if Pardew did that he would be slated. Quite pleased with the performance today overall, thought the result could easily have gone either way. He'd be applauded for shutting up shop 5 minutes later than usual. Good point.

Mostly mid-20's at this stage for the last 12-15 seasons but it's usually been from 18 games. Edit: had 45 in Xmas 1995 (!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I would sack the cunt for those pre-match comments alone. But then this is the same cretin who in the same fixture last season, said we should all be turning up in fancy dress to celebrate the absolute hugely amazing achievement of not getting relegated. Anyway, it was an honour to lose to Arsenal today etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
