    Gunners won again on the road at Norwich, they've been much better lately, especially on the road. Plenty worried about this one at the Emirates. Van Persie's been stupid good this season.

    Worried about this one as well but really looking forward to it.

    I'm crossing my fingers for a win but would at least like to see a competitive match. Excited it will be on TV.

    I'll say 2-1 Arsenal but hope I'm wrong.

    Park the bus and ambitiously strive for nil - nil. I know, high hopes by me.

    Somewhat interesting notes in today's Guardian. Fulham have never won at Arsenal, earning only 3 draws out of 25 matches. And we haven't won away on any London pitches since beating Spurs in '03. All of which matters not a whit TODAY! It's our time now! COYW!

    Dang it! Thought we finally had 'em! Still a fair result, I think, but sure would have liked to have gotten off the schneid against these guys. Hmmm, let's see, when't that return trip to The Cottage?

    Solid performance, decent away result versus the Arses. I'm not going to complain about this one. The look on Wenger's face when they scored the go ahead goal for us was priceless.

    I agree with jumpkutz, it was a fair result. Although I would have loved for Bobby Z to not have been called offsides. :)

    Oh well. It's good to be back home from travelling and to sit back relax with a good Fulham performance.

    Really great performance with the defense coming up big. Shame we couldn't hold onto the lead but I'll take the away point all day long.

    I actually thought that was one of the better perfomances we've managed all season in the league. Solid all around, though I wish we had been able to better batten down the hatches late. Have we really never won away to those guys? Today would've been a fine day to end that streak.

    Ok, I bore people with this, but I have this constant nightmare, brought on by actual events. February 2003, we play Arse terrifically, at Highbury. 1-1 and it's now into stoppage time. All I can think is "HELL, WE'RE GONNA GET A POINT OFFA ARSENAL AWAY!!!" That's when Roberto Pires takes the ball in his own zone, dribbles down the left flank and easuly scores the winner. Game over; drive home safely.

    Oh, yeah, I would have LOVED to have taken all three points today and realize that it would mean less sweat later in the year if we are still in a relegation fight. However, a point is a point, especially over a hot team like the Arse. Ah, well. I still raise my glass to the lads, well done.

    Oh, and just when I question Baird's positioning, he helps keep the ball out of the goal. Maybe that's why I watch on TV, rather than on the touchline.

    I thought it was a solid team performance. Ruiz showed well, Riise played his best 90 minutes for us, and Murphy and Etuhu were HUGE. Kudoes to Schwarzer, Dembele, Baird, and our CB combination.

    Have a read of my match report, and tell me what you think.

    After talking to Don midweek, I went into this one expecting a 0-3 beating. Once I saw Arshavin in the starting lineup I thought 0-1 or 0-2 were more likely. And then as Ramsey set about having a howler, I thought we might have a shot at a result here.

    If we're going to continue to play a negative offensive game, this is the way to do it. We dominated the Arse in possession (until late) and stayed disciplined and compact on defense. I agree with Don on Riise, definitely his best match and wouldn't you know...he stopped a few crosses. And of course he chested down the eventual own-goal.

    I don't draw a lot of optimism from this result b/c we were still absent really quality chances for goal. The ball bounced our way and we were fortunate to score there. However it worked, we got a point and that has to help confidence for the side.

    To Don's point on Murphy/Baird, one of them was responsible for leaving Vermaelen unmarked on the equalizer. I'm pretty sure that was on Murphy but Baird was free to cover when Senderos's man took him to the near post. Either way though, both had fine matches otherwise.

    I'd give MotM to Schwarzer. He made 2 stellar saves that kept this one from being 3-1 or 3-2. Dembele probably should have had one going the other way.

    Excellent result and point for us, but man, I really wanted those 3 points when we got past the 75th minute with the lead.

    Good result. I wanted all 3 points after taking the lead, but a point away to Arsenal is always a good point. We had a good result against City and did nothing after that so hopefully we can do better and build on this and get a couple of wins.

    Since I log directly on to the forum page I didnt realize your View was posted on the home. Now I know.

    Enjoyed reading the report, thanks. The only part I disagree with is likening you to Clint Eastwood's creepy punk.

    After driving 30 hrs (roundtrip) to Central Oregon, so glad to see the lads grab a point at the Emirates. Thanks for the "View" HD, the highlights and posts from everyone else. Especially happy to read Riise was sharp, he is too young to be washed up.

    Riise didn't go forward near as much as usual. That may have had something to do with it?
