The only positive in this match was subbed off in the 64th minute. Hard to even care about the derby at this point.

So West Brom did their job this morning. Now us and West Ham's turn to do our jobs. The fact that there's a decent possibility we are top at lunch time Saturday is kind of hilarious.


You guys most of season have gone on as the egg before the chicken.
Looking forward to your derby - fingers crossed its spurs :lol:
We even did you a favour re city but your loss no avail.

Should have sold Wilshere when we had the chance, and if someone came in with a decent bid for Ramsey right now I'd be very very tempted

Cech did his hammy and Kos injured himself as well.

Wilshere set back again, Santi suffers an Achilles problem and is also set back.

Arsenal are settling for 3rd/4th behind Leicester and Spurs.

Going into it with a back 5 including Mertesacker, Gabriel and Ospina. As well as a Sanchez so out of form he looks more like Christoph Wreh than George Weah.

How long until we hear about Arsene Wenger's war chest of £100 million+ that he is ready to unleash come the opening of the transfer window?

All money will be funnelled to the LA Rams stadium one way or another. We had our chance this year and blew it.

Fuck me dead. Look on ESPNFC, like the 3rd article down is whether Wenger should be sacked/retire.

Its not like you lost to Swindon Town......

It would honestly be more annoying to win the NLD because it'd keep us in the hunt.

It's as if people think the board have a say in deciding when Arsene leaves :lol: Just wait for the articles about how we're back in the race if we win on Saturday and Leicester drop pts :lol:

It's also not like we also lost to Swansea at home last season too so this isn't some major earth shattering shock. Funnily enough we're actually a point ahead of where we were last season after the corresponding fixtures :lol:

Cech out for up to 4 weeks. Means he misses the 2nd leg against Barcelona, but bigger problem is he'll miss 3-4 league games

Won't happen in a derby obviously, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Mo-Coq midfield and Ramsey on the right at some stage this season.

Was looking at some other stats last night and found some interesting stuff.

We are one of the worst at finishing chances, but it's not for lack of shots on target where we are 4th in the league in terms of shot accuracy%.

We also lead the league in % of aerial duels won and 2nd in terms of take-on %. We've also committed the 2nd least number of fouls this season and suffered the 2nd most.

No real surprise that we're 1st in both average possession and number of passes.

We've made the 2nd most defensive errors with 22, but only 9th when it comes to defensive errors that lead to a goal with 5. West Ham have conceded a pretty ridiculous 11 goals from 16 defensive errors.

We've conceded 4th most goals from outside the area this season, but the least amount of goals from inside the box. On the other side we've scored the 3rd most goals from inside the box, but are last when it comes to goals outside the box.

Was our last goal from outside the box Walcott v Man City?

I can't really recall many at all. Sanchez v United?

Don't think we've scored a FK this season.

Walcott was one of them, Sanchez was just inside the box though so no idea what the other is :lol:

And yeah we haven't scored direct from a FK this season, which isn't a huge shock, we've been horrible at FK's for a while. We're one of 11 sides who haven't scored a direct FK this season and only 5 sides have got more than one. Although we do lead the league in goals from FK's (not including directly obviously) with 5. We're in the middle of the pack for goals from corners and we're weirdly enough one of only 2 sides to score from a throw-in, West Ham the other who have 2 goals while we have 1.
