Both players and ball out of play and Debuchy totally off balance.

Maybe in Stoke that's the equivalent of a handshake.

So, Snaps & Rob, are you confident about today's away game?
Looks a difficult fixture....

That went well....... :-)

I wasn't, despite lots of omens that Arsenal could win it. Playing fluid confident passing game vs Stoke the week before, drawing 2-2 at the Emirates in a game they were more dominant in and should have won but for the last 20 minutes.

But blimey, they not only beat City, they clearly deserved to win. I really enjoyed watching that. :) I was thinking before the match if they win and play well, this could be a defining match for the remainder of the season.

I must admit I enjoyed the two commentators on Sky finding fault with Arsene Wenger's tactics moments before the second goal.
:-)

I was a long way from confident. Due to be working but said to myself I'll watch the first half or until we fall apart.
Forgive me Arsenal but it's happened so often.
I think someone said there was a chant went up 'Where's The Arsenal and what have you done with them.'
So now we know we're capable of doing that let's keep doing that.

The only downside is it put a smile on Jose's face

Nice of Arsene to buy Szchesney a little (? 6ft 2) friend to talk to whilst he's not doing anything.

sorry, but no chance. That's just too optimistic.

Technically correct, just as I could still win the lottery and a little green hand could flip the finger into Mars Rovers lens.

And Tottenham can still finish above Arsenal, but we all know Totteridge day comes every year.

Watching MotD2 two of the three commentators (they didn't ask the third) didn't think it was a penalty, which is strange. Kompany clearly plays to block Monreal's run for the one-two, and is actually still moving in that direction when the referee blows.

Pretty sure everyone on Sky said it was a penalty.

At this point I'd say my opinion of Robbie Savage has dropped a bit, but it wasn't very high anyway. ;)
