The away fans are winning two-one against the miserable home support.
That’s two away games in which we have been dominant and played with everything that we want to see from our Arsenal.
Pace, fluency, penetration and creativity.
It was an outstanding performance. One that should have shut the Media up, and malcontents alike. But will it? I doubt it very much.
I honestly believe that, if the home support were like the away fans multiplied by ten, the home of football would see the team perform at much higher levels.
It just seems to me that we are stuck in second gear at home,with the hand break welded on.
Against Fulham, some of the interchanges and close control were staggering. Not a hint of panic or fear – unlike at home where every perceived error is met with a collective sigh, if not an audible groan.
Even from my customary position of sitting in a hunched up in a little ball, looking out from between my fingers , I could see we were never anything other than totally dominant.
We saw what a fit Podolski adds to the team, when he starts.
The Goalkeeper once again reminded us that he could become or first choice for the next fifteen years.
Aaron showed that all the doubters are no more than pathetic halfwits that lack any modicum of football knowledge.
It looks to me like the fabled “double-pivot”, has morphed into a triple-pivot. Our midfield was ruthlessly efficient, both going forward and in reverse.
Fortunately, the will of the home support to win the NLD should override their will moan and actively work against the team next week.
When I say “moan and actively work against the team”, I mean just that. If Gooners cant see that the toxic atmosphere around the ground is poisoning the team and working against the club, it can only be because they are too stupid to do so.
Great result, great team, great manager great club. End of.
Come on you mighty Reds.
Positively Arsenal 
Spuds just paid £26m for Eric Lamela. I’d be pretty pissed if my team paid that much for a player who is nowhere near the Argentina senior squad and plays for Roma.

To be fair to the Tottenham they have spent big(ger) almost every season over the past five odd years. Bentley , Adebayor….it’s quite a record. Their new lot must be better, they could hardly be worse. Though their desire to sign Willian The Cleaner at such expense would make me worry if had been born on the wrong side of the London/Middlesex border.
The high flying very important big spenders at Tottenham clearly know what they are doing: might not have much to do with Football but it makes the punters happy.

” But, but, he was supposed to be shit, innit? Why isn’t he shit blog daddy? You told us we would lose if we played a RB at centre half all week. What happened?”
I read this a couple days ago but forgot to thank you, I had a good laugh. Best quote of the transfer window, IMO. Cheers. Blog daddy LOL. I think its the mental image lol.

Over the years there have been times Spuds have signed a player I would have liked to see in an Arsenal shirt – Rebrov is one example that comes to mind

I shall be around Fun – past two seasons I have had the pleasure to be at the NLD but giving it a miss this year – hopefully we can start tomorrow a bit tighter but any plan either side has seems to get shredded the moment the whistle blows !

Here’s the new narrative boys and girls: “If Arsenal lose tomorrow, Wenger is going to be under even more pressure”. Never mind that it has been established that we were robbed by the referee against Villa and have had two weeks of resounding victories despite our razor thin squad.
Fin, is their new lot better? Paulinhypos thought to be good because Brazil beat Spain in the Confeds cup. Soldado is a decent striker, but he’s not Falcao or Cavani, to be honest. And Capoue is hyped by Arsenal supporters who think we need a big, ugly defensive midfielder. Lamela for £25m is just laughable. Of all the purchases they’ve ,are this me feels the most like daylight robbery. And to think some Arsenal supporters want a technical director to negotiate transfers.

If you appoint a football director he HAS to sign players – the new man at the Lane Baldini is doing exactly what Comolli did when he was appointed to the job – and he performed the same at Liverpool
Ask Juande Ramos or Dalglish about football directors

I don’t get this footballing director nonsense. The doomers are so jealous of Spurs that they’re willing to have us make all the mistakes they’ve made.
Anthony Taylor having another shit game. He is not fit to referee a game for a pair of teams playing girls’ under 14s.
