About time Giroud got a 2nd Yellow. If that was Yacob, he'd be off by now.
England's England's number 1!!!!!!!!
McClean for Chadli. Predictable. Only 1/2 hour to hang on!

I'm really proud of them, Drewks. Arsenal fans must hate us, but we've (nearly) done a great job without fouling playing filthy or anything.
Spoke too feckin soon
Great effort, but you have to be very lucky playing 20% against 80%. Happy with 0-1 - was expecting 0-3.
Fozzie was superb.

Not sure whether it's worse when we concede early in these games and the plan goes out of the window, or when we nearly come away with the point and instead get done at the death. For all that we've made improvements on last season, we still don't have quite enough about us to cause the big boys any significant problems after they've taken the lead.
Hope we can make at least one or two quality additions in the window just to give us a few different options when we're on the ball.

Not sure if we went with any intent other than to try and defend our way to a 0-0 draw. The choice is lose 4-1 or lose 1-0 playing like that. It's definitely as if TP believed we'd lose if we tried to attack, but we lost anyway. Goal difference isn't so important to us at the moment, so I don't really see the point in trying to defend 0-0.

Great performances against Chelsea and now Arsenal.
But end result is still 0 points.
Hope we can look at goal difference making a difference at end of the season but in the meantime try at least to get 4 points out of the Southampton and Hull fixtures.
Confidence should be high after this game against a 'big' club.
