You've GOT to be kidding me!?!

OPENROAD

Almunia :D:D:D:D

SantryRed

I can't believe they didn't score the follow up:eek:

The Muppet

Dubious decision. Justice done???

Frisbee

We should play with 10 men instead of Silvestre, he's a one man human wrecking ball.

Absolutely no need for him to do it, the bal lwas 20 foot up ffs.

Great save Al

Beau x1

ALMUNIA THANK GOD.

Hull are scary.

Corcs001

Soft penalty. Hull didn't deserve to score from it.

OPENROAD

Never a pen imo

everdead.ie

Poor poor penalty and poor follow up they all got in each others way

Raskolnikov

Almunia a mile off his line.

Long may it continue, we deserve some for a change.

That was such a poor peno, it was clear before he took it what side Almunia was going to dive. Dont talk to me about the follow up:rolleyes:

Edit: Game, set, match.

Eduardo woahh.

OPENROAD

Just the goal Eduardo needed

Hunt must be the most hated footballer in london now bar Campbell

I think anyone criticising Silvestre there should check the replays - there might have been a brief hand for Silvestre to get his bearings (something all defenders do) but Fagan was blatantly trying to drag Silvestre's hand across his body to win the pen.

Beautifully worked goal though, I'd like to say that should steady Arsenal but with the crowd that worked up, I'm still nervous. They seem to be keeping their heads though so hopefully we'll be okay.

ha ha Phil Brown

Surely that should be a yellow for Fagan for a deliberate handball?

Credit where credit is due though. Poor penalty but he still had to make the save. Was that his first save this season?!!:)

Question to Arsenal fans:

I don't watch a lot of Arsenal but is Eduardo not a centre forward? How come Arshavin is up top with Eduardo on the wing?

A mystery to me.

Here's hoping Ramsay can do some of what he does with Wales. This guy is going to become an Arsenal great

yahoo_moe

In fairness, Eduardo's been poor when played through the centre this season. I know he hasn't always been fit but still. Plus he likes drifting out wide so I think it makes a certain amount of sense. Especially for continuity - Arshavin's been there the last three games whereas Eddie's been on the bench.

OPENROAD

Is Theo on the bench? would be nice to bring him on to build up his confidence.

Frisbee

And it looks like Diaby is going to be thrown out onto the wing again. I'm actually starting to feel bad for the guy, everyone thinks he's sh*te but that's because he ends up playing out of position half the time.

Yes, he is under a blanket

Lol. Arsenal 'snuggies'.

And no, I don't think Theo deserves to come on. He's been terrible lately.

yahoo_moe

Yup, showed a shot of him in one of those massive sub's jackets earlier. Could be a good game for him, very open.

Song, Denilson and Vermaelen have been really crunching into tackles today, great to see.

I don't think he's ****, he's just not all that great, I think we've seen that by now.

True. I've really enjoyed seeing him as one of the midfield three this year - he can ghost past players so easily in the centre circle and he links up very well in attack (as with the second goal). But yeah, he's muck out wide.

EDIT: And I've a feeling he's about to score a cracker

Stand up if you hate Phil Brown well done The Emirates

Diaby really deserved that, he's been brilliant today

Not at our best again but it is all about the three points.

Great goal by Diaby. Hopefully he'll add more this season.
