God we're terrible. How are we not beating this ****?
The pitch doesn't help either - grounds shouldn't be allowed to groundshare with rugby teams during the football season.

Arsenal look kinda stagnant. It's games like this where the loss of Rosicky is more noticeable. Dunno, kinda looks like they've gone back to thinking they are entitled to win by just showing upp =/ Wenger should try and fire them up a bit at HT, then again we've seen Arsenal do this a billion times, wear the opposition down for 80 minutes then score 2 goals. I'm still sure they'll win, but they're looking a bit lax.
The pitch is unacceptable.

Disgusting from Fabergas trying to get Heskey carded or sent off for non existent contact.
I absolutely hate Fabregas, such a ****. Such a cheat too.
Arsenal had better score soon :/.

It ****s me right off that the media give Fabregas such a love-in but are straight on Ronaldo's back for the smallest misdemeanour.
Fabregas and Eboue annoy me so much, they get away with most things. Ronaldo dives, yes, but no way near as much as others, and when he dives, its generally a foul anyway. He was MUCH worse in his first two seasons.
Fabregas aims to try get people sent off, its ridiculous, he even got his best mate sent off (Arteta), and then theres Eboue, who should have had about 5 red cards this season.

Bring on VP! He might be the catalyst that gets us the win - a draw isn't much help with only a point in it now.

The thing about Ronaldo is that he doesn't really dive anymore but he does look for contact and exagerrate what's there, just as Baros did yesterday. It's unsportsmanlike but just about within the rules- the way Fabregas goads players and play acts is taking it way too far yet he seems to get away with it all the time.

Yeah, they're playing quite adventurously which is refreshing. As a lower table side it makes sense to me to try and actually play against the bigger sides- you're expecting a loss so you've nothing to lose by being a bit more positive instead of trying to park the bus and play for 0-0.
