Hi Arsenal fans,

I am the Fulham blogger on sbnation.com. However, I do like to watch Arsenal play as well. I will be watching today.

Good Luck !

Bendtner on the bench

But I’m fairly sure we’ll see him sometime around the 67th minute…

Sol Campbell singing along with the fans…awesome.

Did the commentators seriously just compare van Persie unfavorably to Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe, and Dimitar Berbatov? Based on goal ratio?

Silvestre just did really well against Tevez. More of that, plz.

Vermaelen

scares the hell out of me. I don’t think he can smile.

Bridge off

Richards on. Bridge’s got a leg issue.

Not a bad half

We’ve had a couple of half chances, Nasri wasn’t offside, the referee has been useless

Citeh really haven't created a whole lot, just hoping to catch us on the break

Toure seems to be having a pretty good game, without him Citeh could very well be down at this point.

Possession

still 50/50 in second half. Surprising?

by Ted Harwood on Apr 24, 2010 1:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Fabianski did well under pressure on that cross.

Walcott off, Bendtner on. Tomas off, Eboué on.

by Ted Harwood on Apr 24, 2010 1:59 PM EDT reply actions  

Nielsen on

for Given. Let’s rip shots at the Faroe Islands man.

Fair result. At least Adebayor didn't score the winner

we’re missing Cesc

Well Citeh were playing for the draw from the get go

We had a few half chances but with 10 men behind the ball it was difficult to break them down. There just wasn’t any space to work within 40 yards of goal. They barely threatened to score, Fabianski will be happy about that.

I can't believe I just wasted 2 hours of my life

at least I could vent some anger at Adebayor
