Everyone (including Wenger and Bouldy) expected Watford
to do what Burnley and
West Brom did by
coming to the Emirates
to defend in numbers hoping
to nick a point.
But the only goal after the break
came from a
West Brom corner when Mcauley beat our keeper and defenders
to a flat and hard cross.
Theo
came from injury and has not played enough time
to tune up, why cuz Le Frog insists playing his wonder boy, give the man a chance, same play time as GIROUD and then jump
to conclusions,
coming from Injury he scored a hat trick against
West Brom, when was the last time GIROUD scored 3 goals in one game....
Every single Arsenal fan is well aware that Petr Cech's record of never saving a penalty for Arsenal has been a handicap for the Gunners ever since his arrival, and their have been games where a save would have made a massive difference (
West Brom is the first example that
comes to mind).
It was a classic smash and grab win by Swansea last night, one chance, one goal... All teams have nights like this, we deserved
to win but sometimes it just doesn't go your way, that's just sport, I can think of countless examples this season of this happening, man city vs burnley, man utd vs
west brom etc... Heads up gunners, we will
come back strong and beat utd at old trafford...
Watford 0 - 2

West Brom to be the better side here and
to come away with the points.
The Saido Berahino transfer saga appears
to finally be
coming to an end after Stoke City agreed a fee with
West Brom, according
to the Telegraph.
Spot on bro... the problem with most of us Arsenal fans is that we've been made
to accept average as our only option after been promised by Gazidis and other members of the board that we will compete with top European clubs... i feel some players need
to be allowed
to go in order for better ones who are ambitious and hungry for titles
to come in... and someone made mention of Giroud saving Arsenal in a few games like the countless chances he's missed that could have put the club in better positions could be equated right... he should have done that against Watford,
west brom and the rest... truth be told..
We were terrible against
West brom yes the ref gave a phantom penalty but
come on we should be putting teams like
West brom to the sword never mind holding onto a 1 goal lead courtesy of an own goal..
Of course I am biased towards Arsenal, it
comes with the territory, but I do try
to see things from all points of view and I know that i have a tendency
to ignore the things that go in our favour, like the terrible offsuide decision against Berahino when we played against
West Brom the other day.
And because the win over Hull means we now face a cup quarter - final with Watford this weekend instead of the Premier League clash with
West Brom, as well as there being an international break around the corner, Wenger only has one Premier League game
to get through before Cazorla can
come back into the centre of midfield.
Gibbs should be sold if
West Brom come in with 10 million and if we somehow get rid of Debuchy and sell Chambers and Lucas too plus the money for Szczesny we'll bag enough cash
to buy a player or two who will improve the squad without doing major damage, because we had players with the numbers 1,2,3 and 10 either out of the club or playing less than 10 games last season.
Tottenham face an in form
West Brom who have won both of their league games since they

I'm sure that the Premier League club would be more attractive
to Debuchy, but any deal is very likely
to hinge on whether
West Brom find a buyer for their captain Jonny Evans, and as Arsenal are reportedly keen
to reinforce our defence perhaps we could see him being used as a makeweight if Evans
comes to the Emirates?
West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster says the club's players are «battling»
to keep manager Alan Irvine, who has
come under pressure after one point from the last five games, in his job --(Daily Star)
Disciplined in his role, he is very rarely caught out of position, he is strong in a tackle and seems
to relish a physical battle His technical ability also developed over the course of the first few months of this season, and his passing improved along with his ability
to twist and turn out of trouble, but of course what we had all been dreading
came to pass..., Coquelin was injured vs
West Brom, and has missed the last month, and is going
to miss at least two more, I am of the opinion that we would be in a much better position than we are now if Coquelin had stayed fit.
At least one youngster maybe 2 a year, with the way our academy is, should be
coming through so Ox would need

West Brom.

comes in for him, admits boss Alan Irvine --(Daily Mirror)
Wilshere's inclusion may
come as a surprise
to many given his injury problems in the last couple of seasons, but he will be hoping steer clear of the treatment table this year and build on a strong end
to the 2014 - 15 campaign in which he scored a stunner for the Gunners against
West Brom and then followed it up with a sensational brace for the Three Lions against Slovenia a few weeks later.
It feels like I may as well just give Alexis Sanchez the Arsenal Man of the Match award for all of the Arsenal games
to come over the rest of the season, because even when he does not score or produce the match winning moment, the Chilean striker is almost always the best player on the pitch, as was the case again yesterday against
West Brom.
Im not suggesting that this protest should not go ahead, far from it but I think all the time the club is owned by silent stan nothing will happen
to improve anything, the only real way we may force change is by hitting the club in its pockets and that
comes from boycotting season ticket sales, the protest during the
West Brom game meant nothing
to the board as they already had the money in thiewr pockets and as they are all from silver spooned backgrounds and old money famillies they really do nt give a F@ck if the fans protest.
Liverpool have the easiest opponents on paper, but

to recharge his batteries for the second half of or season.
