Yes the coat tops the Premier league.

Talkshite was having it’s usual pop at Arsenal yesterday. One thing though is they were citing “reports” that should we lose tonight AW would be “invited to leave the club”. No idea where it was supposedly coming from but I can’t see anyone at the club would ever suggest such a thing.

If we were to be without silverware by the end of the season, I'd certainly want him to leave. We should have won the title quite easily, seeing that no one really seems to want it.

Saying all that, I'd be willing to accept the FA Cup and top 4 (as per usual) on the basis that next season we add significant strength to the team and shift the likes of Rosicky, Arteta, Flamini (possibly add Ox, Jenkinson, Giroud and Merts to this list if we buy big and in numbers).

Going forward, it will be hard to see past City with Guardiola coming in and their willingness to spend big. Would still like us to show ambition with or without ODL though.

I can't either, reckon that's a load of bollox. I also heard Patrick Vierra was 'waiting in the wings'........which I bloody hope isn't true, as much as we all loved him, I want a proven manager in place after Wenger eventually leaves.

Why is the game a 7:00 kick off this eve?

No idea, maybe the Hull team turn into a pumpkin at 9pm.

It's definitely unusual for a domestic game.

Isn't it to do with UEFA moaning about playing top flight games on Champions League nights?

Oh yeah, wonder if that could be the reason... Bit odd though as it still overlaps for a half.

Very amusing!

Maybe I should have said our players turn into a pumpkin - which is more likely!

Come on you Gooners.

This is dire. Awful (again). Do they even remember how to play good football or even want to win?

Injuries, needless yellow cards, barely a chance created, Flamini playing, Wally Walcott as captain, the cretinous 'Sav' on commentary duty.

Holby City gets more appealing by the minute.

Walcott. 140 grand a week.

Charity donation from Hull and we're 1-0 up.

Mental strength.

Invisible. Anonymous. Slowly getting found out.

Gift for Giroud.

Takes un cadeau for Giroud to score. Who's a new dad?!

Tell me about it. OH just said to me "wanna watch Easties?" - lucky we didn't turn over or we'd have missed that scintillating goal.

Can we hold out for the 2nd half?

You have to laugh.
Both remaining fit central defenders crocked in the same match.

Why do we get so many injuries in these cup games? Another muscle injury.

Gabriel crocked. We're ****ed

Ramsey nearly gets a ludicrous OG.

Can see this game going to extra time which we can do without.

Can't see this makeshift defence keeping them out or us scoring another.

Giroud proves me wrong! Back amongst the goals.

Nice to see Giroud scoring again.
