You weren't seriously expecting to challenge for the title, were you?

No, we're nowhere near good enough for that. I always said we would be off the pace this season. But with such an easy start to the season we might at least have put up a fight until Christmas.

1-1 FT

We're not getting a great deal of luck at the moment. Cr@p players are scoring stunning goals against us, and iffy decisions like the disallowed goal today, but the fact of the matter is that we simply aren't good enough. The occasional excellent performance counts for nothing without consistency, and that we nearly lost our third league game of the season despite not playing a single good team shows that Wenger got things badly wrong in not strengthening the team during the summer.

Interesting selection there.

Everton up next, that really is a must win.

Yep, after Fergie's comments and Giggs performance midweek in the centre I'd be very surprised if he started on the wing. So probably be -


-------- Fletcher ---- Giggs

--------------- Anderson

-- Ronaldo ---------------- Rooney

--------------- Berbatov


That or a basic 442 with either Fletcher or Anderson on the wing.

I think if I was an Arsenal fan, I'd see the CL as the best chance.

Things being what they are, you can sleepwalk your way into a top 4 place, so to become the 1st London team to win the CL is a pretty good and very achieveable target.

Two legitimate league goals disallowed already. Who would have guessed. I suppose the 'those' decisions have to come early this season otherwise it would be too obvious like last season.

Sincerely hope it's Anderson doing the wing play. Though with Evra playing, chances are it's Fletcher doing the bulk on the right side.

Hope not, Anderson and Giggs sounds worse than Anderson and Scholes.

Yep. If we get a lot of fortune and a kind draw, then we can go far in the CL. We're probably more suited to European football at the moment. It's still a long shot though, because there are plenty of teams who are stronger than us, and who have the squads to cope with the demands of the CL at that stage of the season.

We should still get 4th spot comfortably, and maybe even 3rd if Liverpool lose form for any extended period of time, but I don't have any confidence in the team winning anything this season, and they need to be careful because they could get drawn into a battle for 4th if they keep dropping points so easily to Cr@p teams like Sunderland and Hull and a team like Villa step up a level.

Only heard the Aresnal game on the radio, the last 10mins now but was the 4mins warranted?

The commentator here said he was very suprised with that.

Jesus christ Fletcher, finish that!

Maybe three minutes would have been sufficient. We scored after 92 and a half minutes I think, so not much cause for controversy there. It was a late equaliser, but not dubiously so.

Anyone got a stream with sound?

Brown 1-0

Blackburn are absolutely shocking in possession

No sorry, Rooney cross.

Brown scores, Blackburn complain about what they perceived as a foul on the goalkeeper. In truth they should have dealt with it better, regardless of whether it was a foul or not.

FF points!

He's not even playing Man Target. It's their back up keeper Jason Brown.

Can't see what complaint the keeper can have there, it was Santa Cruz who was pushing Vidic into Brown. We started slowly but the last 10 minutes we've been fairly on top.

Meh well it could go either way. I would have understood if the ref chalked that one off.

Terrible from Rooney.

Lord Berbatov's passing is brilliant. That's 2 assist he should have had but for dodgy finishing.
