[quote user="Samwam27"]Always feels AN goes for the line-up the game AFTER we needed that line-up!.

Oh well here goes![/quote]

Agreed Samwam.

Reminds me of the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch "answering the question before last"

Really good performance from us so far, we''re getting decisions, 2nd balls are landing to us. This feels really weird!

We''d be ahead if Ospina was playing. but ffs where was this at palace or v sunderland?

[Fuzzar 1,702]

Very good so far.

[JF 694]

Perfect half of football and really should be ahead

[SeattleCanary 0]

Not to bash, really, but I''m just interested what people think regarding Redmond. He''s had three or four chances, and whilst Cech has been good, he could be more clinical. Do people think we will lose him at the end of the season if we go down? I still don''t think he''s the finished article.

[ricardo 7,384]

Played well but no reward. Much like most of the season

[Feel The Force 0]

Arsenal can''t even be bothered to be half arsed. If we had someone that could score we''d be 1 or 2 up by now. Bassong is looking reasonably competent today. Perhaps he''s under instructions to hoof it.

What a dire match. Just waiting for arsenal to score. It''s not much fun in the premiership is it. I''d rather watch us beating the binners any day even if it''s in the championship.

Ok so it''s picked up in the last 10 mins but realistically this is only going to end one way.

[Katie Borkins 1]

Giroud is a massive wet fart of a fanny.

No it''s been the perfect away display against a top club all half. We really should be ahead

[rock bus 851]

Good first half performance..even sherwood having to admit it!!

Let''s keep it up, even a point could be vital for morale let alone the actual point itself.

Never seen such a big guy roll around so much - obviously devastated that Bassong had messed up his facial hair.

We can do this. We need to do this.

Perhaps, if we had played with the positivity and intent of Redmond, we''d have taken the game to Palace and Sunderland. But finally Neil learns from his mistakes at the Emirates of all places.

[Indy 3,297]

The same for the second half....and the rest of the season......we always play well against the big boys it''s those around us we have struggled with.......Man City, United! Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham we ve taken points from them all but fall when we need to beat the struggling sides!

[peter-plastic 0]

Great first half. Hopeful!

I''d add to that, that had our most influential player, Hoolahan been playing instead of being left out for the hopeless Naismith we probably would have more points on the board

You should realise that an Arsenal victory would be no great surprise, so forecasting that wouldn''t win you a punter of the year award.On the other hand, if we go on to win you''re going to feel silly and disappear again.

Does Hoolahan know we are playing in yellow and green , shocking

[Fuzzar 1,702]

Oops.

[SeattleCanary 0]

Apparently that''s arsenals first shit on target... Figures. Well let''s just enjoy what''s left of the season.

[Sing up the river end 0]

Martin ball watching as Giroud nods it down

[ricardo 7,384]

Totally predictable

[AmericanNorwichFan 0]

We gave them too much space.

[Katie Borkins 1]

And against the run of play, or at least not with the run of play, we go one down.

[Jools 584]

Need the experience of Naismith on here, it''s his sort of game.

[JF 694]

Completely undeserved lead. One chance one goal. Again we pay for our lack of threat in front of goal

Yeah he''s been awesome hasn''t he.

F*cks sake, Brady.
