Round of 16!
 
To see all those ex-gooners flat out in disbelief and despair genuinely makes it sweeter

Not even Europa. That’s right … bottom … last … biggest losers and half of them tainted by the worst of associations

Some second half warriors out there COYS … much respect

I'll be the first to admit that first half are not great, but we stayed in the game. Would you rather we went for it and then was 2/3 goals down?

The tactics have been clear all season, I'm not sure how people can't see that yet and why some fans are so surprised every fucking match.

It's no coincidence the majority of matches under Conte have been won in the 2nd half.

When we have “gone for it” we haven’t gone 2/3 goals down though. That’s only happened when we have played in this style (Woolwich, United, Newcastle, BMuff). In fact the only goal I can think of that we recently conceded when playing on the front foot was Frankfurts 2nd goal.

I think these tactics are wearing the players down - look how fucked we were at the end today. Mind you they seem to wear the oppo down too

We are definitely trying to conserve energy in the first halves. Which can make for some uncomfortable viewing.

Hopefully that changes after the world cup and things can look more like last spring with more even performances.
 
This team is starting to personify our iconic manager - spitting blood, snarling, strong physically and mentally, and I am very much here for it! Starting to give me peak Poch vibes.
