    You know, everyone keeps talking about the dark arts from Arsenal, but dark arts would have been abandoning the throw in and demanding that the ref book Justin for interfering with the free kick at 55’. You know, because the ref apparently doesn’t have a choice in the matter?

      Leicester were doing the same things we were. Yet they’ll be called brave and unlucky or something equally as ridiculous.

      I’m trying to start adopting this level of criticism as jealousy and their using it as a tool to dishearten us, which I refuse to let it do.

        It’s the correct, and really only, move. Leicester were not unlucky, in fact they were insanely lucky. By all rights we should won 3 or 4 to 1. You can’t legislate for wonder goals though.
