XG 1-0 that’s all that matters, fuck stats. 

[Turnbull2000]

Wow, that victory tasted good. Helps put us back roughly where we should be in the table, and who better to leave despairing than Arteta and Arse fans

The timing of our goal plays a part in this. We spent much of the game defending a lead rather than chasing.

Just realised too (and probably already been mentioned), its almost a year to the day (4th November) since we beat them 1-0 last season, as I was at a wedding do, watching it on a mobile phone!

There's only one stat that matters in games like this, it's measured in ml, salty and comes from the eyes of arsenal fans and their manager.

Some people just like to moan. That was a very professional performance and as deserved a 3 points as you’re likely to see in the prem.

[Cronky]

Eddie Howe was MOTM for me. Tactically he had it spot on, and we smothered their attacking play very smell. I can't believe it when some supporters and pundits talk about needing another manager to take us to the next level. Utter bollocks. Our man is second to none.

 

Great to see Lewis Hall playing with such confidence, but Bruno stood out as well. We take good performances almost for granted with him, but he barely put a foot wrong all game.

Have we had any Arteta tears yet?

Realistically, there shouldn't be any this time. No 'controversial' goal, no real use of 'dark arts' or timewasting (apart from Pope usual 2nd half 'injury').

Just a reminder the Keown praised the time wasting "tactics" of Arsenal at HT...

Not too late to start turning things around.  In theory the only really difficult games we have until new years would be Villa and Liverpool. But that said there are no easy games in the premier League. Hoping we should do better in the second half of the season with botman back and hopefully a signing.

Thanks very much. It's Forest next.

Wood and Anderson... 😅

 

Edit: And we're away too...

 

Edit Edit: And Wood just scored. Again...

Yeah to be fair I could see us losing to forest. We struggled against them in the cup and only won on pens, and it's a difficult place to play away.

We’ve just beat Arse and Chewsee. Believe, we’re on a roll!

Aye. Fairly early goal.  Good finish too - not a super high Xg chance that. 
 

From there Arsenal pushed but didn’t create much. We didn’t create much either 

‘game state’.

Wonder what Paellardyce will blame the loss on this time around. 

Stealing this my boy.

Wonder how much Sterling is getting paid to not even get off the bench when your team is 1 down

 

Such a downward trajectory to his career

More than Alli was...

Fantastic result and performance. Just great all round. The ball by Gordon and header by Isak were just insane quality. Pretty much undefendable.

 

Feels like ages since we've scored a goal like that or been a threat from those areas. Probably one of my personal favourite types of goals.

 

Livramento got a kicking on here over the past few weeks but showe his quality as usual. Absolute class fullback and still really young. Him and Hall are the future.

 

Willock supporting Isak made such a difference. Desperately hope he can stay fit.

 

Fair play to Longstaff deputising after Tonali played a lot of minutes recently. Did well for the most part. I think Tonali should be on set pieces from now on. His ddelvcer is unreal.

 

Really hope we can carry this forward against non-top sides, which is where our performances seem to drop lately.

Comfortable 1-0 victory without having to get out of 2nd gear
