Foreman started his League - and now it's war! Basically, expect me to get to every good game first so he can't do them.

To me, you haven't fully recovered your form following your historic stretch of defeats. You've gone from unbeatable premiership champions to a team pretty much anyone has a chance of taking points from. And beating Roma was hardly a trouncing, you got very lucky, and the result was flattering in terms of the chances you got, and those you gave away.

Seaman is old! Still a great keeper though.

Shaaban seemed a bit hesitant on a couple of occasions, and he did spill one ball - over all though, it was a great performance. Saved a few blistering shots, and there was nothing he could've done about their goal.

I didn't think our performance on tuesday night was particularly great. We conceded a poor goal, and were constantly threatened on the break. Defence was inexperienced, and the midfield wasn't great either. RVN saved us, as Henry saved you.

He's had a few average games, yes. But he can do better, and he should return to that form. Even so, with Keown fit again, we can rest him if necessary. I've honestly never been that big a fan of Campbell anyway.

True, but we can mix it with the best of them. We try to play our football, and if they try to kick us out of our game, we can give as good as we get. We have the best of both worlds. :-)

Current form? Current form is excellent. We were simply unfortunate to lose to Southampton. Battered them in the closing stages of the game, just couldn't get the goal. Should have beaten Newcastle by more, but for their 'keeper we would have. Beat Fulham, who beat Liverpool. And just dismissed one of the biggest and best clubs in the CL.

I'd say our current form is okay. Bearing in mind that November is historically a bad month for us, I think we're doing okay!

You have to admit, Sol is getting dodgier with every game!

Yeah, it's like during the Argentina v England game in the world cup, he was just randomly flying in unnecesarilly. He should have walked.

Arsenal did their fair share of tackling, and not all of it was clever.

On your current form? No. Pray that he stays in your lineup.

Dodgy hacking? That belongs in the Roma section! They got 3 bookings, we got none. Batistuta should have walked for one challenge just minutes after coming on, and both Pires and Ljungberg were repeatedly taken out from behind.


> If that man gets injured, Arsenal will have problems.

You hope! He's been injured - the goals just come from elsewhere. :-)

My opinion of the game:

Roma:
------

Did well, unlucky not to be given 2 clear penalites, but didn't threaten enough to deserve the points. Pulled too many shirts, and Totti is just a lightweight.

ARSEnal:
--------

Shaky start, dodgy hacking, nice comeback. Possibly unlucky not to get a penalty of their own. Very fortunate to have Henry on form on the night, but controlled the game with the vast majority of the possession.


Overall, Arsenal get plenty of possession, but often fail to do things with it. Very lucky that Henry capitalised on the opportunities he was given. If that man gets injured, Arsenal will have problems.

My sentiments exactly. I didn't even know this Bet was on.

Oh well, I would have betted on a Draw anyways...
