Lucky to be hot in the hunt

THE consensus of Gooner opinion seemed to be that it was fortunate Glen Johnson put the ball in the back of the Scousers’ net on Sunday. Up until that point, we’d been so impotent up front that it looked as if we could’ve been playing until midnight without troubling Pepe Reina’s goal.

After a week in which the dressing room code of silence was violated, to reveal the mad antics of Tony Pullis and Jim Magilton, you’d think our captain might’ve been more discrete, than to reveal specific details of his manager’s half-time rocket.

In hindsight, I find it a bit worrying, since the results of Wenger’s haranguing were hardly dramatic and we didn’t play like a team possessed after the break.
