Arsenal Supporters Thread (Part 5)
Well played to you for your perserverance!! I'm guessing yoiu're in the upper tier for that one but being there is the main thing. Sasly I won't be this year as wifey is due to give birth around that time and has banned me from attending after last years 12 hour bender that followed our victory.:D
It's a lovely day for going to a game and I'm sure the clock end will be quite lively this afternoon as both sets of fans share witty banter with each other.

Is he at all close? Or just going to be a loan out player then eventually sold to West Brom or something?
Finally a home game after 5 away
West Ham play a pretty open game, are dodgy at the back and should be at least 3 down by half time.
They'll tire after an hour - as many teams do. You have to be pretty special and very fit to run as much as they have for 90 minutes.
This.
So far we've been pretty decent, can't see WH defence holding up for the second half. All we have to do now is remain focussed and not get frustrated. 3-0
I bet you thought the same against WBA. Arsenal always do this.
Alex Song. Phew.
Massive credit to Clichy's right footed delivery too, was perfect.
Phew indeed.
Not quite, IIRC WBA were playing decently in the first half too and we weren't all over them unlike today. Even in second half it was clear they were up for it, and we just lost focus.
Well, todays game may not have been as easy as we would have liked it, but it was definitely a deserved win. Their defending was, as expected, pretty shocking in the second half. The only reason they were still in for so long was a combination of luck and Green having the game of his life.
Also, City lost
Would prefer a Spuds win really but there's no way I'm wishing for that.
Whoa, that was one huge 'phew' game in the end. I was so tensed and nervous right through it but oh so glad we won. And with a clean sheet to boot as well!
Laugh out loud at Man City. I thought our win last week was all a fluke because they were one man down blah blah...?
Like we did it against Man City you mean?
Well pleased with the win today. We had a few of these types of games last season where we banged on the door for 90 minutes and came away with 0-0 or even a 1-0 loss. Let's hope it'll be different this season.
'Arsenal legend'
You mean 10 man Man City?
I mean, Arsenal always go on these excellent runs and then a team you expect them to beat comfortably we make it squeaky bum time. All the same, it was nice that we forced the win.
Wikipedia says Song has 27 brothers and sisters :-O We could have a teamsheet of Songs ;-)
Plus Clichy's cross - I like Clichy so am pleased for him too.
This ticket is right on top on the corner flag, but I'm going and as long as we win, that's all that matters.
Cesc looks to be out for another spell with his hamstring though
Wenger's signings over the last few years have been unparalleled.
Vermaelen, Chamakh, Nasri, Arshavin, Sagna, Ramsey.
I prefer sitting upstairs as you get a better appreciation of the game plus the stewards have turned sitting downstairs into an art form.:rolleyes:
Yesterday contained the 1st stranger hugging moment of the season when Song scored as it looked as though it just wouldn't happen for us. Green had his customary good game against us, Parker and Noble were superb for them but they parked the proverbial bus and made life difficult. Nobody stood out in terms of performance but Denilson and Arshavin had poor games and deserved to go off. Cesc wasn't great either but thats understandable if his hamstring is playing up.Fabianski had little to do but looked comfortable.
I had the misfortune to sit next to their fans yesterday and after hearing 30 renditions of bubbles and last at the library, 1st at the emirates I was bloody delighted when the goal went in. Sadly our support was awful and made no attempt to sing the irons fans.3 points however is 3 points.
On what they have achieved so far I would give that batch of players a 7 out of 10 as a group.
