Arsenal 2-2 Fulham - 26 August

[Woolly Mammoth]

Can we hang on until half time?

Yes we will

[Woolly Mammoth]

The most disciplined performance defensively that I can remember. Everyone keeping their position perfectly. For all their posession, Arsenal created very little. Martinelli had two decent chances but shot straight at Leno. We on the other hand look pretty dangerous on the counter. Good half overall.

I totally agree with you.

Just looked at BBC Sport & we had 28% possession. The guys will be exhausted after this game. I'm praying like everyone else though!!!!

[Woolly Mammoth]

Raul is silencing all the doubters

He most certainly is, and that scissor kick on another day would have gone in.

We had to work hard off the ball and i can see subs coming on for a few exhausted players around the hour mark.

And the danger is we run out of legs the longer the game goes on.

Amazing defensive effort, Raul putting a great shift in up front and down back!  Nice to grab that early goal as well, keep it going lads!

[Drewry66]

Brilliant display defensively. Although Robinson has made a few mistakes on the ball he and tete have yet again shown they are two of the best full backs in the league against two of the best wingers. Bassey and Diop with Joao in front excellent as well. RJ was brilliant that half. Huge wins at the back, won flick ons and held up well feeding off absolute scraps. I nearly had a heart attack with that overhead..if only..so frigging close! We have looked dangerous on the break. We have to be better holding possession but can't fault the lads for effort there and no matter what happens a half to be proud of. Gonna be really tough second half as had to work our bollocks off there. Joao looked knackered.

Does the rain help or hurt us...? 

[Black, White and Fred]

Rain can do both, but hopefully it just makes arsenal over hit their passes

[FFC1987]

Opening 10-15 key here. If we get get us to this point and Arsenal start to over commit, Traore and the boys can exploit this. Can we weather the storm though....

[KentFulham]

Stupid yellow for bassey given he is gonna be up against it

[SanFranFulhamfan]

Bassey looks great

[Black, White and Fred]

Gutted Havertz has gone off he was our best player 

[SerbianLad]

Ref not giving us anything

But we can make 5 subs which we'll help
