Demoralised by hammering as leProf loses le plot
The touchline argy-bargy with Pardew doesn’t bother me. Our usually phlegmatic Professeur showed signs that even he suffers from the strain of the relentless struggle, to try and maintain the Arsenal’s title challenge. Personally I think it’s great when managers reveal their humanity and how much this “game” really matters. But there’s no excuse for Arsène’s unsporting refusal to accept Pardew’s handshake and doubtless his post-match disappearing act reflected his embarrassment.
If the Arsenal were going to gift anyone three points, I guess I should be glad it was the Hammers. At least it should mean that I’ll be getting plenty of work this week from my own, West Ham-supporting, gaffer, who’ll take every possible opportunity to glory in Sunday’s post mortem.
