Do I get an extra fantasy point for that impressive move?

Last time I couldn't watch, we won big. Was hoping they would do the same yesterday. Guess it's same old Arsenal, throwing away points versus lesser teams. I hope this group realizes what a brawl it's going to be for a top 4 spot this season, much less the title. United, City, Chelsea have all won games this season when they were off their game. We really haven't. Can't afford to throw away points.

I DVR'd it but didn't watch any of it after hearing how terrible the performance was. Scratch that, I did watch Vito's error. FFS he is garbage. We need to buy a backup/competitor for Szczesny in January.

Injuries are getting ridiculous again. If it really was international malaise that hurt us yesterday, there's not much recovery time before our mid-week Schalke showdown.

Definitely. An older more experienced keep to take some pressure off of Scezney and keep the other two idiots off the field. A keep, Adrian, and possibly another wideman would do us in January. Unless Wally stays then we will be alright in the wide areas.

that was a vintage loss yesterday.

hundreds of passes done in long spells of possession, little threat in the oppositions 18, other team gets 1 or 2 chances and they put one away via a GK error.

I wonder how Santi "Tyrion" Cazorla will handle the winter.

Does anyone else think Per would be a much better CB if he grew out a long beard?

undoubtedly.

also that pic of Tricky Gervaisinho at the top of the page continues to mystify me when I stare out it. it's grotesque and awesome.

Per with a huge ZZ Top beard. How intimidating would that be?

Can you convince me that I'm still alive after the weekend? You all lost to Norwich? WTF?

We're all on the island. It's up to you to decide if we're alive or dead.

Reading @arsenallive's tweets, it sounds like Jackie is rounding back into form nicely. I'm a big Eisfeld fan too. 2 goals for him. Big time CAM prospect.

Highlights. They aren't great, but a couple of nice Eisfeld finishes. Miquel's mistake which lead to their goal was CLASSIC Arsenal. Give him an extension now!

I can't wait till Jack is fully fit. That ball out wide was tasty.

Everyone says we need a more ruthless goalscorer. Not sure Llorente, Adrian, and the other names thrown out there actually fit that description...
