Gallas’s foul wasnt bad. it is just like usual one so the equalizer is not controversial.

Shambo – I’d like to think a lot of new people are showing up because of the new design.

It’s allowed me to post more articles, some shorter, punchier articles and on the whole is a lot easier to navigate.

as usual great write up andy
great result last night but i think we had a lot of good fortune,long overdue if you ask me!!!the media attention around the gallas tackle makes me laugh,he never even left the ground,look at some of the tackles from these bolton games down thru the years and it wouldnt make the worst 20 bracket…watch rooney lashing out in every game utd trail or are drawing in and then come back to me u clown ‘pundits’.the double standards when it comes to us is unbelievable
@ pridesfoe,
almunia hasnt kept 4 clean sheets in the last 7 mate,its 3 vs bolton,villa and hull,all home games and wev conceded 6 in that time so lets not be comparing him with the top keepers just yet
great to see so many bloggers in here aswel……..where wer you last 4 mths?????lol

after analizing the game i came to the conclusion that as crazy as its sounds with us having scored so many goals we still need to add another target man to the squad before the transfer window closes. the time to strengthen is when you,re on TOP and i feel it would send out a message of intent to our rivals and show them we mean business whilst giving us another dimension,with regards to the game, great comeback by the lads a few lapses in concentration at the back which need to be eradicated before the visit of manure and liverpool. great strike by little mozart to get us back into the game and with the pressure we applied the equaliser was inevitable,cesc wriggled free in the box to slot home and make it 2-2. then tommy v rifled one into the bottom corner to put us in front with the little russian adding a. fourth to place us at the summit.its unlikely wenger will buy and the concern has to be the mounting injuries are showing no sign of decreasing any time soon……having said that…IT FEELS GOOD TO BE TOP!!!!!!!!

* I think AW has resigned himself to the idea that our squad is never going to be water tight defensively. So instead of trying to fit square pegs in round holes, he went for another approach. Anyone can score 2 goals on us, the question is, can they stop us from scoring more than one? Very few teams can answer yes to that question.

* Almunia, 4 clean sheets in 7 games. Not many keepers have a better record in that stretch. Yes, he is no David Seaman…..but, maybe we can start cutting him some slack. He had a good game yesterday besides the goals, I think a prolonged stretch of games may see him improve even further. On his day he is a decent keeper, its the inconsistency that needs to stop.

*At my local bar where I often go to watch our boys play, a fellow gooner commented “bleh,I call diaby diabolical,I hate how much he gives the ball away”. My only response, if you ask the bolton players who caused them the most frustration in the past 2 games, I think that more than a few will answer diaby. Yes, he is not polished, yes he can be infuriating. However, he will get in your face, you cant discount his physical prowess, and there is a bit of unpredictability about his play that can make all the difference. I think most opposition players when they see diaby in the line up think to themselves “not this m**herf**ker again!”. We need a player that just by the mention of his name causes discomfort in the opposition.

Great game. Great result. Great to hear BOLTON, of all clubs, complaining about a strong challenge. AW was spot on when he said he would show you two games worth of video of players being kicked.

I watched the game in the USA(Fox Soccer Channel) and the announcer would not shut up about the Gallas challenge. You would have thought that we had another Eduardo/Diaby leg break the way he went on. In fact, his whole commentary was negative towards our Club and certainly not unbiased.. but i digress.. Gallas had every right to go in for that ball and if one player is standing and one is sliding, the slider will often come out worse. In the UK, we say ‘he touched the ball, no foul’. Gallas touched the ball..

Reason for defensive slump is pretty clear: Alex Song is no longer patrolling the midfield.
Analysis Without Song:
-4 goals let in in 3 games against relegation bound teams…
Analysis with Song in the lineup:
-4 goals let in in the past 6 games including 2 clean sheets ( and no more than 1 goal being scored on us for the whole month of December) vs the likes of Villa, Liverpool etc…

That should tell it all.. Bring back the Cameroonian please!!
