"Sarah...does the arsenal statement - 'Arsenal have not won any of their last nine games against Manchester United or Chelsea in all competitions.' include the game at the bridge on the 30th November...Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal? it doesn't appear to...
It includes the nine games against Manchester United or Arsenal played since that win over Chelsea - SW."

"Not all the stats are accurate, the Walcott one in particular. He's not completed 90 minutes of RUNNING around half hearted since 2008, he's not completed 90 minutes of football ever in his life."

"Some things can't be recorded in statistical form. Maybe they should be? Surely "too good to go down" should have a standard unit measure. This would involve giving points based on how pleasing on the eye they were on the road to defeat.

"Arsenal just not big gameplayers,theyplay total football against the lesser teams and even critise them for not letting them play their game but against tough gritty teams who can also play a fast flowing counter attacking game they are lost. Thats why theey still miss Viera because he had true grit ; they need some boxing lessons along with their ballet training and a few nights out with Bellamy and JT."
