He put it wide knowing he was going to be given offside. No point putting it in the back of the net if it's not counting.

How's your Scottish accent, arkon? You'd be a great technical/2nd commentator, but apparently you have to be Scottish.

Giroud is way better than Higuain.

higuain's a bit quicker--and that's about it. in no way does that justify paying over thirty million euros to buy him.

it's all desperation at a certain point.

look at united fans. they'd even be happy with crouch at this point.

Seriously, he's not even worth 20M.

This always happens. Always. Teams deflate after bossing Arsenal around for 60 minutes.

Arsenal make it into the top four despite it looking hopeless.

Arsene is a genius. He knows buying better players will ruin this dynamic.

That result is literally better than a win for Arsenal. It's the kind of game that wins league titles.

It's on...

Why sign new players when we have Chuba Akpom!

Alright let's be serious. We did a good recovery at the end but we played mostly shit throughout the game. No power up front, no width in our play, sleeping defense. Giroud is still slow, Podolski is not all that great, Fabianski is not the GK we want. If Cavani was still with Napoli they would have shitted all over us.
 
This tweet sums it up pretty well.

Aye, getting bossed around all match and finally starting to give a shit with it being just agonizingly barely too late to win the game happened pretty consistently last season. It was even reflected in the make-up of the season overall. Eerie.
 
We played alot better in the 2nd half, once Sagna came on we looked so much more assured in defence.
Giroud played quite well I thought, still need another striker though.

Is Monaco - Tottenhosen on right now? The channel I'm watching it on says 'live', but I thought it ended 2-2 or something earlier?
