Think we started to control the game a bit more in the last 15. Got to stop giving the ball away cheaply though.
We look so lacklustre and we're just entering the busy festive period. Arsene simply has to reinforce
I think Mertesacker's had a decent game as well, the first free kick that he gave away was a joke.

Yeah, i just refrain from using too many superlatives lest i jinx him but there is something so cool about him.

That's what I took from the half. The centrebacks were solid, and Szczesny is just too damn good.
If this is Arsenes solution for our full-back problems then we're fucked. He needs to buy.
Mertesacker is crap. Wish we'd a fully fit defence. Missing song too, pings ok but his passing is nowhere near songs. We're getting no joy in midfield which is making it tough to get theo and gervinho into the game.

It is remarkable if true considering he has - what? 35 league goals in the year.
I'm sure Shearer and Henry score plenty of penalties in their totals. Messi and Ronaldo too.

Sagna is our solution. He's back soon.
Its a feeling.

He is getting fouled every time he gets the ball. Great move to win the pen.

Really? You got that from the 45 minutes just gone? What's he done wrong?

I remember him missing two (United and Wigan) and I can't remember us being awarded any other penalties this year.
Dint he score against Pool at home last season in stoppage time?
Or did Cesc take that penalty?
van Persie did.
Frimpong is pissing me off.
Alright, Frimpong needs to calm the fuck down. He's messing up the form of that midfield so much
Frimpong must have a pass completion rate around 20 percent today.
Come grab a second
