Bloody cheats that WBA being all physical, having a game plan, trying every trick to maximise there strengths and opportunities

But we had 75% possession Wenger is thinking....its just not fair

Nope, it was a slow jog around the pitches, followed by stretching and a half hour session of attempting to draw the defence out of position and play Wally in on goal.........in that half hour or so he got in once :roll:

It was boring, laborious, tediious to watch God knows how the players can put up with it day in day out.

I asked Sean the training ground host, would we adapt training as we were playing Stoke next, and was told "no, we are The Arsenal, we let the opposition worry about us" :banghead:

Clearly nothing has changed ( Not sure how "worried" WBA were )
