I was at Wednesday but the live text on BBC made out that Spurs fans were booing AVB, again. It fucking fluctuates from week to week with them, one minute they're happy as Larry, the next they're booing their manager and team at home.
Oh, don't know if Mat's reading this, but I wish someone could gif Miguel Llera's celebration today, was brilliant. He turned up for the press conferences afterwards and he's got to be the coolest man alive.

Started out with:
Friedel
Walker Gallas Caulker Vert
Sandro Huddlestone
Lennon Dempsey Bale
JD
Sandro got injured after 20 minutes and Gylfi came on. We did nothing all half and Wigan drew two good saves out of Brad. Second half was more of the same, we were playing like Arsenal and failing to cause Wigan any problems. They won a corner, Brad made an awful mistake on it and patted the ball down for them to score. JD came off for Ade, we tried to get more balls into the box but Wigan defended well, ultra-organised and doubling up on our wide players at all times. Last 15 minutes Walker came off for Tom Carroll, we went for 3 at the back, didn't really make any difference, in fact we could have conceded again were it not for some last ditch tackles. It was exactly like when we lost to them two years ago when we had an injury ravaged side. The fans were embarrassing throughout and their nervous arrogance reflected perfectly in the performance.
It looks like we will turn up at the Etihad next week with the following senior midfielders available:
Tom Huddlestone. That's it. The injuries are killing us, it's not like it's fringe players like last season, this time all the best players are crocked.
And you don't know half the rules on top of it.
Fuck! BAE can't come back soon enough. Vert @ LB is a big no-no. And Sandro injured? Ugh! :-(
Lloris and Ade should start next game then.
Cheers for the update.

Yeah, lucky, because chances are that any other linesman, or even the same one on a different day, would have called it differently. And was it the right decision? The pundits on ESPN didn't seem to think so.

Lol, I've got a lot of time for Shaka Hislop.
SHAKA!
Has the difference between SAF and Wenger been made yet?
It was clear as daylight that Clev and Wilshere were going to get sent off. Both had already picked up yellows and were on their final warnings. SAF subbed out Clev but Wenger kept Wilshere on.
Then the inevitable happened. Why couldn't Wenger see it? I imagine he felt the need to keep Wilshere on as he's a good player. It wasn't worth it though.

Looking at it again, I can't even tell whether it's on or off. I've even paused and zoomed.

Wenger did see it and gave his explanation about it in the interview..
I was going to make a glib comment asking who possibly it was worth bringing off the Arsenal bench for him, but arguably you could have put Arshavin on then.
/haven't seen the game yet, or read what Wenger had to say

Juve gonna Juve
Especially since he had just taken off Ramsey for Theo; should've shifted Ramsey center and taken Wilshere off. Fucking idiotic (not that it would've made a difference). Oh well, hopefully this forces Wenger to ease his return even more than he would have before.
Llera is a class act. I love him.
What did he say?
Seeing your avatar is about the only thing making me happy right now.so cheat
i'm joking Juve-Gaf

Awesome to see Pablo Hernandez finally getting playing time at Swansea(last couple games). Great player.
Sucks that Messi didn't get a goal against Celta Vigo. Would have scored for his son.

Would have scored for his son.Is my bet still on even though they haven't scored in the 2nd half? Or am I being a retard?
Happy that we won today but thought we played poor (attacking-wise)
The sky commentators were on something today. Alan Smith giving the MOTM to Rooney! who missed a penalty, sloppy passing that has to be better for a No.10. only positive was his defensive work of closing down Arteta/Wilshere.
Then they said Valencia had a good game. He was shite. wasted chances, 1v1 would just stand there and wait for the Arsenal team to get back instead of beating a player, which i'm not sure he can do when he's at the edge of the box. Crosses were poor, failed to beat the first man countless times. Doesn't have a left foot and therefore missed a sitter. Only positive was his defensive work and helping Rafael. Not even sure he touched the ball when he tries that little flick leading to the first goal.

Win both halves? Think they have to score again

Rooney did a lot of dirty work recovering balls.

It's fine, as long as they maintain a win in both halves (as they are doing) then it's a success.
But would then give it away with some really sloppy passes. way too casual.
Hi!
Wenger talking bollocks.
Yellow wasn't that harsh as Wilshere was fouling again and again.

You have to give the benefit of the doubt there tbf
It got me thinking because technically they haven't won the half as its 0-0 in the half.
But then that would be kinda stupid seeing as they are winning 2-0.
I don't know.
He said that was his view from the bench.
Didn't see the last 40 minutes of the City game. Went out for dinner.
The Italian food was delicious. But I'm not sure it's made up for a 0-0 against West Ham! We're the Champions damn it and we have to win those games.
There is a positive though. 3rd clean sheet in 4 league games, if my memory serves me well.
