Be honest....

I wasn't too arsed, either way...we played puppet master with them for large parts of the game, so I was generally happy regardless. Gotta' keep it all in perspective, it'd have been a good match if we'd taken that point or not...but I'm glad we did 'cause it was the least we deserved.
 
I started to think immediately about...oh its not so bad...played well...beat man u.

Then we kicked that the little ball to tip off and I remembered what we do with it now Bobbys the boss and I started to shout at my laptop in excitement again.
 
Honestly?...I thought it would be a park the bus by them and 1-0. I was seriously gutted. But when Del boy scored (after magnificent build up from Barry to Ross to Brian to Del (via Lukaku bicycle kick), I was ****ing ecstatic...yelling my lungs out!
 
After Arsenal scored did you think we'd get back into it....

For my part, I was in a pub, supremely confident we would get at least an equaliser.....
Difficult to say, what I can attest is that I wasn't as hopelessly furious as I would have been if we'd have been holding out for a draw. So I think innately I must've believed, because I stayed far, far calmer than is usual.
 
If it was last season, then it would have been an easy no but this season, it feels like we can score and compete against anyone so there was a feeling in the back of my mind that we could nick something. Was a fantastic performance and a good game generally like.
 
when Arsenal scored, my heart sank, we had put so much into it. I never thought we would equalize, mainly due to the amount of time left rather than our inability too score.
 
To be honest, I was so entranced by that first half performance that I was happy regardless of the result. In the long term I reckon playing Arsenal off the park is worth more than 1 point to our season. The confidence the lads will get from that will be immense. We belong in this kind of company.

After they scored I thought this will show our character either we'd settle for the 1-0 or we'd have a go and loose by more. How wrong was I. I thought in the last 10 mins we showed the fight and determination that gives me the belief that top 4 isn't too much to ask or expect.
 
Was still kind of confident despite the fact that Arse was playing much better in the 2nd half. The past couple years even under Moyes we've proven that we can come back from deficits late. Yea we get too many draws but there is a reason we've been tough to beat.
 
When you have players like Delefoe, Barkley, Lakaku, players who in a moment can do something special to get a goal however badly your playing (not that we were playing badly) there's always a chance of that equalizing/winning goal. Moyes always lacked them kind of players, Bobby's got them! Obviously moyes cautious approach to Bobby's attacking approach is a big difference too.

What I've loved (Liverpool aside) is that bobby has us not panicking in the last 5/10 mins of a game, we play the same instead of dropping off. We just see out the game in a calm fashion. Great for my heart rate!!
