Your all mad, we out classed Arsenal tonight, i.e. not only by grit and determination but also quality we plated far superior football to them.

We were beaten by a quality goal. Moan we sit back, and moan when we go for the juglar. Rithtly we were all disapointed but if we had one, everyon would be on here looking for half our team to be knighted.

That performence was immense, compleately unfair result.

Its the curse of the AJ 1-0 robbery match. We play them off them park in the first half of a match (in which I've never seen us play a half of football better), but then they go route one, Eduardo scores 2 and we lose 3-1. Then we go up 1-0 and lose 4-1 plus Arteta gets sent off, now this plus Cahill is hurt. ARRRGH!

But was the goal a direct cause of Pienaar giving the ball away? Was it in his own area? Did it happen via three or four events down the line.

I only heard, but it sounded like he was pushing for a second.

Both teams gave the ball away all night, it was that type of game, highlighting once instance because of the result doesnt wash with me, Pienaar was immense in the second half.

It was a quality goal you cant legislate for that.

How can you say that with the run we have been on, ntohing to do with any whistle, it was a quality goal end of.

Bad luck.

The amount of points we have lost at home in particular is evident that we have problems. Still, we did play great tonight and have been on an excellent run. Just a little dissapointed at the moment but when the dust settles, i will most likely see the positives. My downbeat attitude is furthered with Cahill's injury, hopefully he will be back very soon.

In the 90th minute Baines was bombing down the left wing.

I think we got carried away by the atmosphere and delight of a great victory over Arsenal and didn't keep it as tight and as composed as we should of done near the end.

Good finish from RVP but if you give him that space its what he does.

Gutted but thats football.

Shows how close we are getting to these big 4. Moyes is advocating a Big 6. It's like the 80's, going to buy next years sticker album, anyone got any swaps?

I thought we did'nt sit on the lead late on, i felt we where too adventerous and got caught cold at the back.

We didn't sit back today, and I think that is one reason we dominated the half, but there is a time to pack it in. In the 81st minute, yes attack, in the 91st?

Actually the result doesn't bother me as much as Cahill's injury. Teams score in the 90th minute, it happens. I'd trade a draw if it means he'll be able to play in the next match.
