1. As Carra said, Pepe Reina is the best goalkeeper in the world. He looked gutted after it happened, and I would expect him to be faultless for the rest of the season.
2. Arsenal were much better than us for most of the first half. We were much better than them for most of the second half. Looked at logically, a draw is probably a fair result. Still hurts like fuck though.
3. We were really unlucky to get Cole sent off, but in a weird way I think it electrified us. The way we started the 2nd half, even before the goal, was much more positive and aggressive than what had gone before.
4. Wash deserves to be cut a bit of slack. He was very very good in the second half today, and that shot was almost Torres-esque. And that is now 4 goals in 3 competitive matches so far this season.
5. The first week's fixtures and results have been very kind to Chelsea and United. All their major rivals drawing, so they're (assuming Newcastle succumb tomorrow) already two points ahead of us all. And with City-Liverpool to come, they could easily be four points ahead of both teams pretty soon.
6. Fuck LB, fuck a new striker: I hope we don't receive a good offer for Mascher and he has to stay. On that form, he's irreplaceable.
