We need energy, drive and passion on the pitch, so naturally we take Herd off and not Petrov. Petrov and Heskey in midfield when 2-0 down! Sheesh!!

People wishing that we lose need to **** off. You are not supporters if you are wishing we would lose just so a manager will get the sack.

Who the **** said McLeish was anywhere near getting the sack?

It makes me sick to to wish anything other than a win for the team that I love, but unless something miraculous happens, that's not going to be the case today.

I said that thanks to that last minute winner at Fulham, there's no pressure on McLeish. IF we are going to lose then I want the pressure on Eck for the greater good of the club, as no good will ever come with him in charge!

What did anyone expect against the form team?

On any given day Arsenal will give a game to any club on the planet, but to accept that we're going to lose before the kick off and not bother trying is unforgivable.

It's been a stroll for the Gunners in the first half. We've not pressed their players when they've been in possession, and we've not attempted to attack when we're in possession, barring a couple of break-aways from Albrighton.

It's been so easy for Arsenal it's genuinely embarrassing. The pundits on PLTV have even said they believed our gameplan was not to concede. Now that's gone out of the window there is no plan B.

Arsenal are 2-0 up without getting out of first gear. With McLeish's fabled half-time teamtalk, I really fear for the second half.

Part of me is now hoping for a tonking just to put the pressure back on him to get him sacked. Is that wrong?

Commentators mentioning how angry McLeish is getting at the team.

Nothing compared to how angry the fans are at McLeish!

is Herd out there?

He's embarrassing

Herd's a good player, but both he and Petrov a=have been poor today. Plus another 9 players....

Does anyone else hate Matt Le Twatier. I think hes a prick, cant stand him. Never heard him say anything decent about us at all.

Le Tiss is alright. Have you considered that there is nothing good to say about us?

Did I also hear right that we've had nearly 170 corners this season and failed to score from any of them? The only team in the league not to score from a corner??

Teams must love playing against us. Looks like an excellent little workout.

This is embarrassing now. We're 2-0 down and there's no pressure on the Arsenal players to get the ball off them. As someone said earlier, it's like a training match!

Almost 3-0 there!

This is properly gash now. Ah well.... only an hour and a bit to go

****.... Arsenal 1-0 up. Gibbs!!

Already sitting way too deep, got to be more positive or this will be embarassing.

Looks deliberate at this stage to try and use the direct pace of Gabby and Albrighton.

Dammit Marc, wrong option again!!!

Heskey, for all his faults is bullying Djourou so far. Keep it up big man!

One good chance each. Open game in the early stages.

Ooooh more composure Marc, great chance!

Nice feet and pass for Carlos there. Pity SI was offside.

Heskey with a telling contribution of elbowing (accidentally) the late replacement Djorou in the face!

Whilst I'm in the ranting mood, we're fortunate to get every Premier League game shown live on Abu Dhabi Sports courtesy of a feed from PLTV. Now I can handle the arbitrary timings of cutting away to commercials, as they're only likely to cut the wise words of Andy Townsend or Curbs off, but the actual commercials **** me off big time!!!

Every game, every commercial break is the same, every **** week!!! Upon break away you are informed via a mini commercial that, "this program is brought to you by Ford" followed by the same but for Pepsi (and another mini commercial).

This is then followed by a full commercial for Ford and a full commercial for Pepsi, only for them to reintroduce the show that is brought to you by Ford and by Pepsi by showing the original mini commercials again.....for **** Ford and Pepsi!

I **** get it you twunts!!

So do you drive a ford?

No I fooking don't!

Even if I was in the market for Ford Explorer I wouldn't buy one out of principal 'cause I'm enraged every time I see one. I don't care that the advert claims it can (virtually) park itself either. The people in the ad really grind my gears too. Total fuckinuts constantly on 3 times per commercial break.

Watch it and imagine it on all the time!! Gahhhhh, drives me mad!!!

Earlier today I was taking a very satisfying dump and I sneezed unexpectedly. It's been quite sandy in Dubai these last few days and it's made me a little sniffly. Anyhoo, my sneeze caught me off guard but it also felt like a ball of snot had come out. I searched but couldn't find any and thought no more about it until I pulled up my shorts and trousers to feel the previously lost snot now resting against my leg!

People who say they're going to post a good rant, then don't!

Grrrr Leemond! :winkold:

Hutton has always been decent going forward, I will reserve judgement on if he is improving until I see someone who turns him around and makes him defend. Then and only then will we see if he is improving.

Lets not forget he fell asleep at the back post the other week and cost us dearly.

Let's not forget that it must've been a good while before this season started that Hutton had played consecutive games at the top level. The pace of the PL can mean the difference between a good and a rash lunge can be a split second.

Hutton looks like his timing, strength and touch are all improving so fair play to him, long may it continue.

Ooooh jeez, that's probably the best chance of the game, and it's created by Fulham. Fulham have been crap this half and we've not capitalised, so I do worry the second if Fulham come out and play.

FYI, Blackburn are 1-0 against Wolves.

Anyone know why we are wearing black armbands?

Former player Eamonn Deacy died of a hearattack.
