I did - so I guess I had better do the same

Sad so sad when Bolton fans admit to watching Arsenal :whack: :roll: :cry:
I was in yon pub, and it was a choice between sitting in front of a screen and watching Torres run riot, or sitting in front of a screen where I might have been able to see Arsene's kids get a walloping. What would you have done?

Relieved gooner today. Back from the game - we were TERRIBLE! If we hadn't had RVP come on and turn it all around we wouldn't have won. Simple as that. I really hope we play the reserves (and Van Persie) against you lot Tuesday, playing the first team and you'll beat us even if you are also quite pants at the moment!

On another note, i travelled to the game with my Stoke supporting neighbour who was meeting her mum up there. Her mum is 92, goes to every Stoke game, home and away and had just booked tickets to go watch them in the Europa Cup in Tel Aviv. Awesome woman! 8)

Found an article on her here http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/stoke/hi/pe ... 912066.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looking pretty good for her age!

could you spell out what has changed so dramatically that playing the team that beat us 4-0 a few weeks ago would now lose to us?

are you suggesting we have improved since then - and you have got worse?? If so - the facts would seem to suggest otherwise!!

I know we have put a run of wins together but i still don't think we are playing very well at the moment - and you lot are due a win - and its a cup game, anything could happen. I just don't think its a foregone conclusion we will win.

hmmm... we're Bolton fans - we know that the seductive phrase "due a win" simply never applies to us! i have been to the emirates several times with you - and never experienced a bolton win... there was a draw - but you then won the replay! I shan't be holding my breath that anything will change!

remember - you weren't playing well when you beat us 4-0... you told us back then you were in the middle of a nightmare crisis! :wink:

When did we lose 4-0?

It was 3-0 and we had 10 men. :)

That should cheer you up.

Can't easily forgot those times, a few seasons back, when you were our bogey team...

None of us have forgotten those brief golden years - but, even then, we never won in London... Some nice draws that almost felt like victories, and, in one case, almost was...

BBC Gossip: "Arsenal are bracing themselves for yet another battle with Barcelona for one of their stars, as winger Theo Walcott has apparently caught the eye of Barca boss Pep Guardiola."

Sure he has.

Most gooners would feel happy for him to leave on a free at the moment anyway ;)

Really ? I hadn't picked that up.

Well, it's taken you a while to realise what everybody else has known for 5 years, but you got there in the end !! Bravo.
