@Mia, Hi Mia, the current score is just a voting system. I like to use it to determine winners of the captions threads. As for discussion, it's wide open, I'd love to hear what others think of Liege. The problem with discussion is that the only free apps I've found are junk and the one on Arseblog was written by Gunnerblog and he's not interested in sharing it with me.

I’m fairly new to this site, so could someone explain these ‘current score’ things? As far as I can see, posts about tactics and similar things almost always score 0, cheery banter scores 1, and posts about the blog itself, especially if praiseful, score 2-5! Is there a polite message in this? I’d like to talk about Liege; I’d especially like to talk about Wednesday’s tie with people who watch them a lot. But maybe that kind of discussion isn’t what this site is about?

Really? But Ade only tried to gouge out Robin’s eye. It’s not like he did anything serious, like going down in the box.

The FA are going to investigate the 2 Adebayor incidents. Hopefully a 3 to 6 game suspension will be the result.
RVP claims the face stamp was on purpose.

Watching the Inter game and the announcer cannot tell the difference between Balotelli and Eto’o.

@Teampossible, Too right, Teampossible. Fabi-I-flap-at-anything-anksi isn't the answer to Almunia. Almunia isn't the answer to Almunia. If we had a good goalkeeper, we could've won against Man Utd and Man City. And if that had been the case, we'd be 4 from 4 and a decent shot at the title. Now, we're 2-2 and up against it. I know you can't win the league in September, but you sure as heck can lose it. And we're this close to losing it.

@Fab Phil, 100% agree, even RVP playing right side like he does for the Dutch, can cut in, same for Theo on the left. A midfield 3 of Song holding, Cesc and TR7 free to roam. Although it would be far too attacking, we might get away with it at home.

This was a fine read. Congrats, and summed up my feelings about the game concisely.

What is clear is that we cannot play with two 6’3″ wingers. We need to balance the team which Rosicky & Walcotts return will remedy

@ArseChicago, Well as Man Utd have shown us last season – you don’t have to beat the other top four or top five to win the title. You just have to beat everyone else. I hate losing in general but I hate losing to teams we can easily handle even worse. As long as we beat everyone else in the lower echelons of the table we still have a good chance. Mancs and Pool are far weaker teams than last season and you have to believe Chelsea will slow down at some point, especially with the ACN coming and their transfer ban. We lost 2 away games to supposed big teams so we better give them hell in London.

However, Wenger definitely needs to contemplate what Diaby really brings to the team because in big games, he’s a cock up and at best should only feature against weak opposition. I think he really needs to dip into the kitty because even the so called depth in the squad is injured and we’re looking thin right now, even in attack.
