was expecting us to go "full-strength" today but guess a few are being saved with the inter game in mind and the general mass of fixtures we have coming up, good to see others getting a chance though.

0-1

Who are we missing from that group just maghoma and Bowden ?

HT. 1-1 been a very good game arsenal not pressing trying to get us on the counter.

Bennett gone off injured,we have played very well since they got the first goal,Troy has had a few changes one he was leaning back and put it wide the other setup by Shashoua and he should have done better.

Good game so far.

Mate. You're a grown dude and you are giving credence to a tweet from 'Spurs #1 ITK', followed by 75 people. Like ffs :ROFLMAO:

Number of followers means nothing. Know plenty with few followers that are good accounts. As said seems a bit random to make up.

Our keepers seem to save an enormous about of penalties at youth team level. Not just based on these two matches - it seems to have been the case for a few years.

Ye. Was an excellent game, we were unlucky to be trailing first half the game was mainly being played in their half. Parrott missed a couple.of chances, one he should really have put away but hit the post. Cooper played a ball.ovet the top to Shashoua who nodded it down into Parrotts path but he missed.

Second half was arguably more even, though Shashoua really should have put us 4-1 up when he got on the end of a loose ball.i. The box and the keeper saved.

Match which played with a great energy and like a proper derby. Big challenges were mad mainly on our side and the crowd were really getting them going. Some let the occasion get to them a couple of rash decisions but overall great game.

Will try and give a player by player run down if I can be assed. In case I don't, really should say White was quality today and has an absolute weapon of a left foot. He got an assist from an outswinging freekick, hit the bar from one that wasnt far outside the box. Gets good did. Says a lot that I expected hi. To score. And I don't know what it was notes down as but he either got another assist or a goal from another free. I thought Binks got a tough but he wasn't obviously claiming it. I know the defensive part of his game has been developed over the last year but the challenges he was putting in for the derby were big showing he really understood it and was there for the big game.

He also had a Phil Jones/Terry moment where he was falling over and some tries to pass the ball past him and he as he was falling he tried to stick his head in the way an inch off the ground. Other than all that some of his long range passing and turns out of trouble were great. He and Bowden arguably should be called up for England imo as they were at u15 level.

Also heard he's been training with the first team. Don't know if it was specifically him or just because of international break but still good.

Great result against 2nd in the league who were.missing 3 of their eligible players. We had about 5 missing

Okedina was impressive again today and if Clarke had not finished that goal Parrott would have given him a right bollocking because he was open in front of goal before Clarke cut back inside.

What I liked about today was we mixed it up a fair bit with quality balls over the top and out wide and you can only do this if you have the players that can play that ball and we have that in more than one or two players.

We also lost Bennetts early in the match and still we managed to cope without him so everything is looking good at the moment.

Hate saying this but arsenal team was a good one plays in a different way to us but very strong when they get the ball out wide.

A.Shashoua is getting noticed every week by people now you will often hear someone say "that number 8 is a good player" but they never know his name.
