I enjoyed the second half of this thread. Except the ISIS talk, it got too real for me.

Didn't see the match went to see Avenue Q, great show I'd highly recommend it, but here we have the worst possible outcome.
A winnable home game becomes a replay we win comfortably but lose four players? Is Chambers the only fit player capable of playing CB at the moment?

Did sleep a lot better with a 0-4 under the belt so I thank Giroud and Walcott for that at least. Looking forward to Watford at home!

Bit late, but how come Gibbs can hit the top corner from 40 yards when he hits a cross as powerful as my gran? I was laughing when he lined it up.
Merts should be coming back soon. Possibly as soon as the weekend.

Watching last night's game, i had to give it to Wenger. Resting our main players was the best thing he did. Imagine losing Özil, Sanchez or Bellerin to injuries? Ramsey didn't warm up properly before coming on. To be fair to him, no one was expecting injuries to our CB's in such quick succession. Everyone knows Wenger waits until 70th min to make his first change.

Got to be very happy with how clinical we were last night. Horrible first half, but did the business in the second without playing particularly well.
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come with our strikers, although that was pretty much our B team last night. Think we'll still see Welbeck over Giroud for now in the league. Campbell over Theo too i'd imagine.
Lol @ the injuries though. I thought everything was looking a bit too calm in that department. We were due one of our special 3 injury games. No one does it quite like us.

I actually slept well too. First time in weeks. Thought it was the mid terms. Never thought of linking the bad sleep to Arsenal.
Well that's our goals for the month 
roll on the 0-0s.
Injuries from last night aren't too bad when you consider Kos should return for Barcelona at the latest, Mertesacker should be back for Sunday, Gabriel will be ok I think Wenger said. Only concern is Ramsey. Is Ramsey’s a shoulder or thigh problem? I've seen both reported.

That's strange though, since he went off pointing at his shoulder on the sidelines.
Did he pick up the thigh injury in the tunnel?

I could be completely wrong about this but I honestly felt more assured with the mismatch à la mode of back four we had than when we'd had Per and Gabriel centrally.
It's like other outfield players suddenly had more concern towards our defense and just decided to help out, putting in more effort and fighting for each other.
Would actually love to see more of that but no one in their right mind will try it unless they are forced to.

As a goalkeeping coach I teach that you have to play to your strengths as a keeper and there's no absolute rule to it either. If you're short, coming for corners and crosses would be the least on your mind if you pride yourself into being an excellent shot stopper. The reverse also goes for tall keepers who are pretty good in the air but horrible and shot stopping. Ospina knows he's a good shot stopper so he prefers to stay and save the shot...nothing is wrong with that. We're lucky though to have a #1 like Cech who's good at both. I was a tall keeper but very small in stature so I was always a bit scared to get mixed up between players on crosses for fear of being hurt. The same is probably true for Ospina.

Didn't know how Hull welcomed Arsenal fans to their stadium. What an class act.
Embarrassing when other club show more class than our fans on the day. But oh well.
