@viva los gooners, All of you who thought Lorik Cana would look good in Arsenal's red and white as opposed to Sunderland's raise your hands. I see you there trying to hide in the back. Get your hand up. All I've seen Cana do so far is kick people and fly around like a headless terminator (or like a a headless Flamini).

The club shop is full of last season’s yellow – presumably it is there because the club knows perfectly well it’s the colour that sells and nobody fancies the blue.

Saw this today: Senderos gave an interview. (pops) He seems to have decided to buckle down, work hard and get over himself. Hopefully everything works out for him. He was a good player but somewhere along the line he got into his own head and lost all confidence in himself.

I want yellow. White kit is just too much sp*rs like :/ Blue doesn’t cut it either.

@Viva: That’s my sentiment entirely and some are suggesting that I get a thumbsdown. Thank you for speaking out against the negativity.

@TXGun: Are you suggesting that I get a thumb down for standing by Arsenal & Arsene Wenger in the face of all the annoying negativity over a WIN? If you love the Arsenal as I thought you did, shouldn’t you be supporting me in this? Or do you agree with the sack Wenger brigade?

@Mia: You understand my point perfectly. Why some people pretend not to understand and even wants to give me a thumb down for standing by the club that we all profess to love is beyond me.

Despite winning, some people are asking for Wenger to be sacked. Their reason? Oh Arsenal should have given Liege some 10 nil or something like that. I thought that despite the early set back which can happen to the best of teams, our boys stage a gutsy comeback. Shouldn’t we encourage them? ManU have been glorified for less in the past. I hope that people will understand that all the negativity affect the team as a whole and stop acting spoilt.

@Mia,

I guess when Bendtner scored there was quite a bit of work to be done…so i’m guessing that was why the celebrations were muted.

I’m sure the situation would have been a lot different if it was Bendtner scoring the winner instead of the first goal

@Mia, I did notice the lack of celebration, but I thought the focus by the team (as a whole) was to retrieve the ball out of the net and restart quickly. Even when Vermaelen scored the tying goal, minor joy; their task was not finished.

@dk.nyc, I can see your point, Song’s back pass was weak and you’re right, Clichy had to make a great blindside block. HOWEVER, they did not score. Other than that situation, I thought Song was terrific controlling play everywhere.

Maybe ‘MIXED’ performance should better describe:
Vermaelen: to start the game, Vermaelen gave away two straight passes that led to Liege’s 1st attack & the corner – which led to 1st goal
