Who's ready to erase the 6-2 game from the memory? I know I am. :o Hopefully we can build on this run we've had, but Arsenal has been dropping six on teams other than us these days. :eek:

We're playing better than the Pool at the moment, and I think we've been stung recently by the Arse, so we should be up for it.

It's pretty frustrating to be down 1-0 at the half despite having had a man advantage for 30 minutes or so. To be fair, I don't think Gilberto's red card was called for, and Neill was lucky to have not seen red when he brought Van Persie down. Of course, the ensuing free kick led to Toure's goal, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Henry with a lightning strike from just inside the box. 2-0, ********. We're paying for not cashing in on some decent chances.

Derbyshire missing sitters while Rovers were still in it sure didn't help. I thought Gamst was doing a job with some crosses, and Neill put in a beauty for Derbyshire to scuff wide.

You guys should change sport and join a rugby league. Have a taste of your own medicine. I hope you get relegated next season.

You are right... I have cleared out my above comment. Normally I can resist, except that I was surrounded by some loud-mouthed, beligerant drunks whilst watching the match this afternoon. So, I've got a we bit of the head-ache.

Trust me, I know how that goes.

Gilberto should not have been sent off.
Neill's yellow was deserved. Any closer to goal and it could well have been a red.
Derbyshire should not have missed such an easy chance to score.
Henry and Fabregas are both fantastic players.
At the end of the day, we were beaten by a better side. We didn't take our chances - they did.
Spanked by the Arse.

The annoying thing is that the rules say he should be,and the robots in black refuse to use any common sense.It's annoying as people pay a fortune to watch games nowdays, half the time seeing less than 22 on the pitch at the end of the game,still refs don't cheat,players do.
I'd be well pissed off if I went to the Ballet and they sent Darcy Bussell off after 10 minutes,mind you in saying that I'd be pissed off if I went to the Ballet anyway
