    Damn. Eastmond should have done better. Hit it straight at the keeper.

    edit: Perhaps I am a bit harsh

    As a neutral - it seems to me that arsenal are hitting form at just the perfect time this year.

    They have all the tools this season to really really challenge - they way football is at the moment, it's great to see. A great team, living within their means, playing great football :)

    Taylor pinned him down with his leg on the back of the neck then pulled his hair.

    What game are you watching?

    Taylor should have seen red and Fab maybe yellow.

    aye. rosickys foul unnessecary but yellow is fair i think. but he does like the odd dirty little tackle and we need to be able to dish a bit of that out if opposition are intent on kick lumps out of us.

    Someone's who has just been sitting on the back of your head stands up and has his foot beside your face?

    Do you:

    (a) Try protect your face

    (b) Put your hands by your side and accept that you may just get kicked in the face or have studs raked down you.

    Answer honestly

    Woeful clearance by Gallas there straight to Lee that almost cost a goal. Earlier on he headed the ball straight to a Bolton player when he could have just let it go. Sometimes it seems he really lacks the brain of a top defender.

    Im not desputing that, i think they are more likely to lash out at perceived "injustice" and do something dangerous than most other teams.

    It something in the mindset of the players - personally I don't like to see it

    Honestly thought he would of tried to push his foot away instead of hold onto it

    Push the foot away and he's free to swing at you.

    Hold onto it and he can't get any power into a kick.

    Should have been two from Fabregas there.

    Just my opinion, and agreed Klasnic should have scored there.

    We're very lucky to have not conceded yet.

    Klasnic should've equalised there. As good as Arsenal are good going forward, they're always so dodgy at the back at times.

    Agreed.

    Sure by HT Bolton should be down to 9 and we should be down to 10.

    Great attacking performance from Arsenal - Fabregas is on fire and Arshavin is more involved than in recent games. Eduardo, Diaby and Rosicky are looking dangerous and generally our passing is good. Eastmond is doing ok but not involved that much.

    Defensively we have too many problems and I'd expect to concede. Feel we need to capitalise on our attacking performance with one or two more goals to win this. Would like to see Clichy come on for a start and hopefully Gallas and Almunia can improve their concentration.
