I don't either. But as an Arsenal fan I have a responsibility to look way too far into things and make them have hidden messages, it's part of our creed

Weird/interesting stats from yesterday.

Walcott had 13 touches and 1 shot in 65 minutes.
Giroud had 17 touches and 3 shots in 25+ minutes.

Ozil and Cesc each had 3 key passes, most in the match.

Koscielny had 16 (!) clearances. No one from Chelsea had more than 1 clearance.

Even from the left, Cazorla had the most passes (58) of any Arsenal player.

Monreal had 6 interceptions.

Coquelin had the highest pass completion % on the team at 90%. Rewatching the highlights he got the team started on quite a few counters.

I love me some stats fellas. I wish Coq would tone his attitude down some. I realize it's his fire that's making him a good def mid, but he doesn't have to bitch out the ref every time something doesn't go his way. Just tone it down a level.

Taylor made some terrible calls early in the game in favor of Chelsea. Having one player on your team willing to be an a-hole is a good thing IMO. Arsenal haven't had that in a while, and it's played a part in the relative lack of success compared to the Manchesters and Chelsea in my opinion

Of all the putrid country music available to make fun of he dogs on wagon wheel. Way overplayed sure but so many better options.

I assume he is dogging on the Darius Rucker version

Nah, we need that shite. We're too nice, too calm sometimes. He gives us that juice. I'm all for it, as long as he's not getting carded.

Exactly. Chelsea came out stepping on ankles and shite. Coq lost his mind on Taylor, and it evened things out.

Too many times, teams have come out and kicked us into submission. Coq doesn't let that happen. In addition to his stellar, stellar play (I can't understate how fricking good he has been since he's come into the team), his attitude is just as important to our success.

Too often we have been muscled out of matches in the past. It isn't going to happen as long as Coquelin is on the pitch.

Ramsey for captain. He really didn't want to shake Mourinho's hand. Looks like he almost faked his way out of it.

He is being groomed for it. I think he would do a great job.

Theo and Gibbs didn't want any of that shite either.

So after watching a few seasons of the EPL trying to find a team to follow, I decided at the beginning of this pre season Arsenal would be my squad. After watching that video and a few more on the Arsenal YouTube channel I'm a 100% positive that I picked the right team.
