PL: Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers | 11/02/06

How s**t was Gilberto today? f**k me.

And the ref - what a c**t.

Saying that Flamini should have gone for a stupid tackle.

s**t, terrible result.

Uefa cup next season.

Was atmosphere any good?

Not bad, above average I thought.


Never seen Highbury so wound up about a ref for a while. Even the West Stand were givin him some.

I know, I heard it on TV, the North Bank were louder than usual and people cheered properly when we scored in the last minutes. Couldn't go to this game unfortunately But I swear down there's something about Highbury that doesn't keep noise in, I don't know.

yeh, the second half atmosphere was one of the best I've experienced this season, it was definitely a case of the players helping to raise the crowd with their efforts in the second half AND the fact that the Bolton fans were giving it large throughout the whole match ("we're gonna beat you again" - w@nkers!!). So glad we got the goal, it would have been the best moment in the season if Henry's effort had crept in at the death, the place would have gone absolutely berserk!

And only Eboue and Kolo scored in PK during the finals againist nigerian.

Toure should be our penalty taker!

He is extremely confident, and he bangs 'em in with plenty of power and accuracy.

he hasn't scored yet at highbury, I really hope he gets one before the end of the season.

As for the game, I thought it was great that we never gave up, we kept goign at it and had Bolton on their heels for a majority of the game. We fought, we let the ref know his calls were bullshit but at the same time we didn't pointlessly get carded arging with him. I think last season when we didn't score first we really lost momentum and ended up losing a lot of those games. After watching this game, I feel like we don't necessarily have to score first to win.

did we not go behind to fulham?

 

[Lukazan]

I thought that them scoring made it 1-1, but you're probably right.

 

[regele]

Doncaster Rovers :wink:
I was thinking about that too, but we miss the confidence to do that too often this season.

 

[Henry IV]

It was one of those games where it looked like if we got one we'd get three or four but the one came just too late. But can you imagine if we'd lost to Bolton again?
