Crimbo and New Years fixtures

Timbob

20 league games left. Long, long way to go. Lots can happen.

Yep but it's crucial we beat spurs. Wilsheres return and a good signing will see us improve

Mirth

Keeping Spurs aside for a minute, do you think we can overhaul Chelsea?

Rex

Arsenal in relation to Spuds and Chelsea will depend a lot on what happens in the transfer department.

It's Wenger's fault- He won't invest in the squad.

Yes Biggus, I know.

I have a habit of referring to Arsenal as "we" and "us" but I would have thought it was clear that I don't blame us fans for our current predicament.
Nor do I blame the player's effort.

That obviously leaves the usual suspects which I thought was understood.
It seems not 🙂

Oh it´s understood Y va...

Good. No need to finish every post with a "blame Wenger" then 🙂

Rex

If we all did that, it would be the ultimate Christmas present for Biggus!

If we actually beat teams like Wolves and take advantage of Chelsea losses then sure.

But I cannot stress enough the irony of laughing at Liverpool and Chelsea for drawing to crappy teams at home on 26/12/2011 and then drawing to Wolves at home on 27/12/2011. I'm not angry at laughing at the other teams. Just pissed that we did the same thing.

Well depending on the context its important to distinguish "We" from we the forum/we the Arsenal fans/we the team/we the club. 🙂

I certainly blame some of the fans for their lemming like support of Wenger, if the heat was turned up on him a bit more maybe we might get things moving again.

I don't think I ever use "we" in the context of "we" the forum Biggus 🙂

Back on the subject of Spurs.
I think Friedel has made a real and significance difference to them.
Take him and King out of the equation for a length of time and they'd drop points.

I saw these stats from Orbinho that highlighted some of the main differences between us and them - they were surprisingly (for me) in defence.

Attacking stats:
Arsenal - Spurs
Attacking Goals 34-34
Shots on target 116-119
Conversion 15.1%-14.5%
Shooting Accuracy 51.6%-50.6%
Pass % opp half 80%-79%

Defending Stats
Arsenal - Spurs
Goals Conceded 26-19
Clean Sheets 6-6
Shots on conceded 68-95
Goalkeeper Save % 61%-79%
Errors for Goals 7-0

Newcastle a goal up.
A Ba/Agger effort.

Bellamy equalised.
Good work from Adam.

Pepe LeFrits

Gutierrez ffs

I hate Liverpool.

y va marquer

Woeful to watch they are.
Dalglish is such a misery.

Jay Spearing obviously hasn't learned from his red card at Fulham, that was similarly reckless. Though I suppose when all the cretins around you are telling you that you shouldn't have even been booked you probably are going to keep doing it.

squallkid

I just read that Downing has 0 goals and 0 assists since he moved to Liverpool😆

I'm so glad we didn't sign Enrique. For some reason, I can't stand his face.

Carroll... 😆

y va marquer

😆
Oh my, Carroll's first touch.
He should skulk off in shame after that.
