given how the 2nd half went, that looks like a point gained

Sloppy is the way to describe our game today, we had the better chances and should of put it to bed in a dominant first half.

Thank fook chelsea lost points. Fustrating game really but seen much worse ain't going to lose sleep over a point away at Arse. Seemes to just lose that push after we scored where as they upped their game. Such is!

That was a tough week but i'd take 4 points from those 2 away games anyday...Bit disappointed with our 2nd half display..We looked tired, especially Yaya.

I agree. Both Zabba & Yaya were fucking awful & at times it was like playing with 10 men. Barring bottle, which will almost certainly come into it, Liverpool would be favourites now.

That was not a performance of champions today & would get us a right hammering at Anfield.

Don't know what to think about that really. Away to the dippers is now a game we can't afford to lose.

How did we not get a corner just before their goal. Schezny clearly fumbled the ball out, even takes and gives a high five to a team mate. Next thing we've conceded a goal.

Arsenal were lunging in for every ball, the reason they could do it was because the referee never gives them a yellow card, while the city players are happily booked for the first foul they commit so that we do not dare to fight for any balls

We had the opportunities and didn't take them. A draw at the Emirates is a decent result whatever anyone says. This nonsense about banker wins here there and everywhere needs to be forgotten. All three contenders will fuck up like Chelsea did today. On to the Saints next weekend and hopefully the dippers will drop a couple against Spurs.

It was also typical of the Tarquins to dig deep v us but give up v our rivals. They have been helping the rags like that for years.

we was to lazy today, our passing wasn't up to scratch, when we got ball some of our players just waited until someone came up, we needed to go forward with pace, if we play like this against pool they will beat us, COME ON SPURS

Fuck sake I'm so irritated about that.

Obviously it should have been a corner to us right before they scored, but that doesn't really matter all that much. We looked like we were happy to take a draw, but thats ridiculous and makes everything so much harder now. The game against Liverpool would have been almost a free game for us we didn't need to win, but now if we aren't able to win that game it will end up Liverpool's title to lose.

And I hate them.

No, we're still 8/11 at Betfair with the dippers 12/5

I think some players had run out of gas Yaya in particular. Milner should have started ahead of Nasri and I'm surprised Jovetic didn't get 20 minutes because Dzeko was pretty ineffectual. Still a nervous breakdown is silly. There'll be plenty of ups and downs before the end of the season. People are focused on the games at Liverpool and Everton. Who knows a hard working 1-0 at Selhurst Park might end up being just as important.
