dunno when we will learn.I watched the game and we were just passing around (like barca do) forward and back just to keep possession. The passing wasnt quick and we seemed to lack an appetite for goals. It was pure complascency and we ended up drawing a game we had dominated.

We need to get rid of this habbit it really annoys me.

Technically since a replay financially benefits both teams this kind of games can be fixed. You really do get that impression sometimes.


I got more the impression that they couldn't score in a brothel....

Going back to an earlier comment you made about how Orient can play better, exactly how many times have you seen Orient play?

Watched them rip apart Bristol the other day and they were better.

They now refer to them as Brittle Rovers, conceded about 18 goals in four games take some riping. :arsenal3:

Was working today so I missed the game. How did Miguel do? Will Barca be sniffing around as Puyol reaches retirement?

Did alright if im honest, showed decent strength at times and got stuck in for challenges.

Oh and he dodged and skilled about 3 players, got forward from defence to the half way line and passed it, seems to be a trait that our CB go forward.

I was a bit shocked by the celebrations by the LO players, manager and fans when they got the draw.

I dont think Spain went that mental with their celebrations when they won the world cup.

Not surprised to see that.

Modern Spanish centre backs all have that in them, infact in today's football most defenders tend to do that and it's nice to have a defender like that in the team.

I thought he looked in good touch, read the game well, looked composed and was solid in the air, he's got that Pique stlye of play in him and I think if he can be very good defender IF he can develop him self physically and possibly gain some experience on loan.

Yeah I caught that.

Totally outplayed/classed [as you would expect no offence to them], throughout the entire match then one goal - Which while I wouldn't call "heroic" was a good goal nonetheless and lucky IMO.
