Hope so. Pisses me off no end when fans give it for 90mins and then go ballistic if a player so much as dares do anything back. More of this in football please, it might just stop fans giving such vile abuse if the players can give a bit back

Missiles thrown by gooners too. Those scarves could have had his eye out.
Yeah, i saw them too. I would never throw my scarf at a player. (I've had the scarf since 1978)

Is a great bunch of lads.....
The False 9.
The False 9, in some ways, similar to a more advanced attacking midfielder/playmaker role, is an unconventional lone striker or centre-forward, who drops deep into midfield. The purpose of this is that it creates a problem for opposing center backs who can either follow him, leaving space behind them for onrushing midfielders, forwards or wingers to exploit, or leaving him to have time and space to dribble or pick out a pass.
Key attributes for a False 9 are similar to those of a deep lying striker; dribbling ability to take advantage of space between the lines, good short passing ability to link up with the midfield and vision to play through team-mates making runs from deep.

shut it you egg!
i thought that they were superb tonight, in control from start to finish, creating lots of viable chances, taking the really good opportunities when they came, and dealing with any jeopardy in a usually calm and measured way. intelligent forward looking football, standing up physically (and the crowd played a good part there), and some fearlessly brilliant short passing moves that were as good as any I have ever seen.
Post match celebration in full swing.

Well done gooners you played your part tonight. Nearly 6000 spuds? Didn't feel like 600. Outplayed and out sung.

It's a shame he's out of the World Cup, he can't cross for toffee but I do like his speedy runs and his 2 - 0 hand gesture to my lot on Saturday did make me laugh.

So our game against Coventry in the cup is on a Friday night. FA Cup games on a Friday night? Bollocks to that!

any games on a friday night => bollocks
I like the idea of an FA Cup match on a Friday evening. Central heating on, beer in the fridge and down my throat, a sound thrashing for our opponents.

not quite the same as being at the ground
Even Bayern Munich fans can't afford the ticket prices.
