Football

I went, partly because it was only £10, partly because I wanted to see Oxlade-Chamberlain. My god, what a bunch of whingers the Gooners are.

Their goal was pretty hilarious (although I think I was the only one in the West Stand that found it remotely amusing) and it made it much more of a spectacle than it might otherwise have been. Coquelin looked decent, the Ox looked fantastic in 2nd half (spent most of 1st half in right back position as Jenkinson was over-lapping a lot), but it was only a League 2 side.

It seemed as though Wenger had them 442 with Ju-Young up front with Chamakh, then back to 433 when Ju-Young went off, but most of the 2nd half it appeared to be 2-1-7. The boy, Chuks Aneke, if fucking huge! Built more like a rugby player!

Don't know about turning the corner, Fabianski was... worth the entrance fee alone, as long as you aren't an Arsenal fan...

I heard Coquelin played well, he was the only player to turn up against Utd, Ox is a real talent.

You wait till the spuds turn us over in a few weeks time, Arsenal will be just full of piss and winge for a good few months..

I don't join in on all that but i do get irate and have left one match early, most of the fans moan at the lack of commitment and acceptance of poor performances and i have to go with them, i was having a chat with our captain after our drubbing last night and he was going through the list of big name quality players that Fergie ousted from the Utd squad because of a bad performance on a big night, poor attitude or spoken out of line..

Berbie won the Golden boot but his performance against City in the Semis was enough for old blood nose to yentz the bug eyed bulgarian and make it clear he wants him out!

I love that. imagine being some 18 year old hopeful, training with a man with the talent of Berbatov and seeing him out of favour for one bad game.!! you would die for that shirt to keep you place. and look at Utds kids out there now.. training hard, working hard and never giving up..

The number of Arsenal players that gave up mid match is shocking, and it wont change until a man takes over the coaching and gets the drilled in the basics and fit, really fit..

You look at Ronaldo, he is like a Thai boxer on steroids with the legs of a race horse. look at him when he started at Utd. he made Damo look manly..
then take Theo Walcott.. he still looks like a 15 year old, i have seen more muscle in a Lyme Regis Rock pool.. why hasn't he manned up? got fitter, stronger etc etc. aimed for the peak at his sport??

@J man.. damn right, the best way to get over a knock like that is miss a few sitters and hack Ved.. never fails.. never fails
