Not the debut we hoped for
A 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United with each side coming on top in one half is not the
worst of results. However, the manner in which we lost the game, left a bitter taste in the mouth.
After what happened in the reverse fixture early in August, many Arsenal fans (including me) wanted
to exact revenge but also conscious of the fact that we want to avoid another thrashing.
Penny for your thoughts Robin
An unfinished business that will take another season (at least) to be completed. Some would
suggest that the business be completed elsewhere, away from Arsenal. At this point, the chances of
that happening is increasing. We were supposed to enter the field with a winning mentality, having
known the prowess and capability of the home side.
Nicks' note: Sample, Arsenal man with sound mind and body, delves
into the recesses of his mind and brings forth an honest assessment of what went wrong on Monday;
when Wigan went veni, vidi, vici on the Emirates turf.
Their first goal...
Was coming the moment Arteta started limping off.
