its blasphemy..

So we'd prefer 50 odd replies all saying

"Yeah, perfect, lets not change a thing, everyone did everything 100% right"

You guys make me chuckle

It wasn't perfect a performance, but do you expect to dominate Arsenal at the Emirates? when did a side ever do that? so what if they had youngsters in the team, the Arsenal team had Walcott, Arshavin, Nasri, Van Persie and Varmaleen all starting!  remember last season when we were in the same situation at the Emirates and had to play two young full backs in defense? we also had a lot of key players out injured and no squad in depth and a sh!tty bench but we still managed to draw.

Even the Mancs won a lot of games ugly, coming up with late winners and uninspiring performances.

stop b!tching and moaning and watch Liverpool rise

Bloody Rose Coloured Happy Clapper

The reality however is somewhat different and we were well worth our win with what amounts to a team of relative strangers when you consider how much playing time they have had. It craws me to read the press reports these days especially when they report we have spent 100M plus without mentioning that 50M of that was covered by the Torres sale (Why don't the press talk about the waste of Chelsea's money on him rather than condemn Carroll, Adam, Henderson, Downing etc .....before they have even learnt to pronounce each others names !

Arsenal are a team in turmoil and uncertainty that's for sure but I wish the press would stop using that as ammunition rather than give credit to their opposition.

We went there in April with a team of kids and got a draw against what was at the time a title chasing side and received very little credit. We add strength to the squad over the summer and still get no credit. If United or Chelsea did what we did yesterday no doubt SKY would be spunking themselves with praise !

spot on mate, even some of our own don't give credit where its due, I'm surprised!

Loads of "respected" posters going on about the amount of possession we had, all the stats I've looked at show a difference of only 1%.

"Killer instinct at the end" ?

Poorest Arsenal side we've faced in a decade and yet with 15 mins left it looked as though it might end 0-0 . Only when they were reduced to 10 men, and one of them was "walking wounded" through cramp did we nail the win, lets not get carried away, against a side that weren't in such disarray I'm not sure we'd have taken all the points

You didn't even mention that the crucial first goal could easily have been flagged offside or that we got a massive stroke of luck when the Arsenal defender smacked the ball in off his teammate's face.  Bl.oody happy clapper.
