The proverbial cat

Post by HiroshimaClaret » Mon Jan 23, 2017 1:58 am

He`s just limped back in the apartment and shrugged his shoulders and I feel the same way now. Went to bed fuming BUT in the cold light of day we got no points from a game we were unlikely to get any from and in all honesty deserved none from. We battled well but were outclassed. It matters not when and how the points were lost...

All we have to keep in mind is that another round of games has gone after which almost no damage was done whatsoever from the teams below us (talk of top 10 and Europe is an utter nonsense) barring Swansea.

We have to play (is it?) the bottom 5 teams away so 5 points from those and 3 more home wins will see us safe in the Premier League and what an achievement that would be!

Up the Clarets!!!!!!!

Did you even watch the game?

Of course we deserved something from it. We battled like our lives depended on it, and but for a linesman's error we would have got a point!

I did indeed (with my wife`s eternal chunnering in the background). IN MY OPINION, thought we were outclassed - not a criticism, Arsenal have some superb players. Of course we battled, it`s in the team`s DNA, I totally agree with you, but the timing of our goal and their (deep breath) winner glossed over the fact we were second best on the day and comfortably so. Just because we almost got a point, didn`t mean we deserved one.
