Everton v Arsenal. 23rd Aug at 17.30.

Don't worry lads, I have a 100% record so far this season, correctly predicting 2-2 last week and 2-2 today, put all your money on a 2-1 win next week. ITK.

We just need to take it on the chin.

When they equalised, I was absolutely gutted. Like felt sick gutted. There's positives to be taken though. Many expect Arsenal to be in the top 4 at the end of the season, and today we showed that we're just as good as them.

to be honest it is not great to drop two points, but you can clearly see we are going to be a seriously decent outfit when the season really fires up.

on the evidence of the first 70 mins we should be expecting a boss European campaign.

honestly not worried at all. if we can get 15points or so from the first ten and then kick on, it's all on again

That's what I'm doing, just thinking about how boss we were for 70 mins against a team expected to do better than us, really does make me realize how good we actually are, but you can't deny those 4 points will make a difference come then end of the season, guaranteed to cost us a place I reckon

Just watched it, and I question how you can blame Distan. He had a bad game last week but todays goals are at the feet of Osman and jags

Osman's role in the first is debatable as is Distin's. But Jags? No mate, you're wrong.

Mate I am not saying that. Coleman and McCarthy had all the time in the world to close Corzola down so they are primarily at fault then it should have been dealt with better in the box so we have half a dozen players that need to work on it. That type of error would not have happened if they were fitter. That my opinion so who do you want to blame. Discuss. I would rather look at the positives and who played well rather than the negatives. My point was that every goal is a mistake somewhere along the line. Nothing more nothing less so less of the drama queen behaviour.

One of them should of came out and kicked him in the air

Chico's fault that ( again ).
Fancy letting a poll run beyond kick off.

Pretty much everything can be blamed on that pleb

Jags shouted and missed the header for the second goal.

The thing that worries me is not that we're letting in goals (that's going to happen to every team) but how easy the goals are. We had 4 people in the box against 1 Arsenal player and we let them score. Then Distin gets out muscled and lets the second in. If both goals were amazing well worked or great shot goals then I'd be ok but with them given so easily it worries me that we're going to do this every game.

Could be worse lads...

It was a very good cross. Jags was in a decent position when the ball was delivered, and it just wasn't possible for him to get his head to the ball. Just because he tried, doesn't mean he 'missed' it.

I thought he jumped a fraction too early

A shock win against Chelsea and all is forgiven, if not its a shambles in the way we have cocked up these last 2 games.

Said it all summer bobby was watching the Dutch lads train at the WC he should have gotten Martins Indi or De Vrij in and started the rebuild at the back. Distin for me should be a squad player no top 4 team would have a 37/38 year old CB playing week in week out
