Everton v Arsenal. 23rd Aug at 17.30.

My girlfriend broke up with me in the 78th minute (yeah, I documented it, because the thought of an Arsenal comeback to ruin my day even further had, in fact, crossed my mind) while I was watching the game, mind you. And after that, it was all downhill from there. Sorry guys.

Can't wait to get a crack at Chelsea this week though and watch the boys bounce back, thus leading Jose into saying nonsensical things in the post game presser.

You know that karma thing? Well, Giroud's out for 3 months with a broken ankle.

So an injury for 3 months is Karma for wanting to get at the ball more than the 2 CB's,that's poor mate.
Sound like one of the fans of your red neighbours when you say something like that.
Karma would be a tug on Terry's shirt by Lukaku as he scores the last minute winner on Saturday. One in the eye to Maureen.

Sorry mate - can't agree with that. Jags was straining to make the header and it was a dipping cross. It was Distin, who was marking Giroud, who didn't make the challenge - even a snidey nudge in the back to put him off would have done it. Giroud had a free header, standing on the ground.

Thanks for correcting me, I was just recounting what it looked like from the Main Stand real time and based on the comments around me others thought the same.

Gotta agree with St. D's remarks re: Jags and Distin partnership. We've got to stop leaking goals if we're going to do anything this year. I simply don't rate Jagielka and why oh why does he take free kicks in the 'middle third' when all he will do is chip it 'in there' often conceding possession too.

I'm a huge fan of your moral guidance Mr T. Long may you reign.

Was just pondering doing the preview this savvy.

I thought that Sanchez (or Alexis) was a proper snide against us and then watched him v Besiktas last night.
Potentially the new most hated player in the PL this season?

Didn't Giroud get up and walk off the pitch Saturday?

Amazed he broke his leg.

Staggered by that injury. Must have been a hairline crack. Very unfortunate for him. He transformed that game last week.

Yeah he did Dave, he gave the boys a proper lesson and was so unfortunate. However Sanchez is a p*ick!

Mate of mine played on, then drove home after the match, with a broken leg.

My Christ, can he still walk now after that kind of trauma, or was it a hairline?

Nah, just a hairline. Felt it hurting later that night.
