Arsenal Post Match Thread.

I keep hearing how great Arsenal were first half and how we only showed up second half, it beggars belief where these opinions come from.

Phew. And I thought I was alone!

There is a simple solution. Don't listen to it because it's shite! Much prefer radio 3!

I don't mind, like I say, laughable really!
No worries there is no agenda!

This happened with pundits about Sterling's first season to, he had a quiet period in the middle of the season but all in all he was fine, not amazing but not bad either. Did he really struggle to the lengths they said, no not even close and this is the same type of weird revisionism.

Not quite Stoke at home in 1998, but it felt like a bit of a turning point after a difficult couple of months.

Interesting you said that, because one of the lads I sit with exactly that after we equalised.

What did we do 1st half? Toure had a header from a corner, and Sterling had a diving header that went just wide. All City's pressure and significant efforts on goal came in the 2nd half. We were poor 1st half, or they were good. Whichever way you look at it, they had the edge in the 1st half.

Had most of the possession in their half, yes a lot of it was side to side, but we still had it.

I thought we were the better team first half without creating much although Sterling really should have scored with that header.

I agree, though I think Sterling was about an inch too short.

Which is a joke considering he cost 50m.......
