Great Performance

@ Batmanu, come on mate......Bolton at home with them down to 10 men? Your real test will be next week in the Norht London derby......you put in a solid display that game then i would give you credit. What you think score will be?

They were down to ten men because Wheater pulled Walcott down when clean through on goal.

That chance could well have made it 2:0 so not quite sure what your point is Don.

Don we are talking about the game today. The defence looked solid today. Nobody is saying the defensive problems are solved, we've looked solid before only to concede 100 goals the next game!

Also won't make any predictions for the NLD yet (will snap your hand off for a point though), we have a CL game to look forward to and need to see how we get on and if we pick up any more injuries. Theo will almost certainly miss the NLD now.

My point is you arsenal fans are getting a bit over excited over a "solid" defensive display against a 10 man Bolton at home. You forgetting that same defence let in 8 goals in 1 match and 4 against Blackburn? Being pleased with your win is fine but turn around and say your defence looked solid in a game that shouldn't really test you anyway especially with the circumstances i.e Bolton down to 10 men

Our fans were singing 'we are staying up' today. Right now we should be allowed to get excited about anything that is how bad we have been! Prior to the sending off Kevin Davies who always gives us hell didn't get a sniff.

I'll refer you to Batmanu's comment my slow on the uptake friend.

You take it nice and SSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOWWWWW now.

The defence DID look solid today. Get over it. I'm not going to lie and say that Bolton created 26 chances and should have scored 5..

We can be happy when our team wins. Grow up and stick to your own board if you can't act reasonably..

I know exactly what you mean lexington you smart ass so stop with the Sarcasm muppet ....I know you only mean this game and not the others but i still believe your defence is one of the worst in the league and a "solid" defensive display today is nothing to get to excited about, see you next week my Sloooooowwwwwwww friend

Impressive comeback Don. Really worth the trouble.

However, judging by what you've written, it would appear that you've yet again completely missed the point of what we're talking about.

Namely, TODAY'S defensive performance being solid.

We're not now calling them an air-tight unit or anything.

Sorry if that was a little too ambiguous for you to grasp.
