Arsenal Terrace Talk: A frustrating day as we fail to trouble champions in waiting

Many more 90 minutes spent tearing my hair out, like in Sunday’s game against Chelsea, and I’ll be bald as a coot long before my time. 

I’m sure there are those who would contend that we would’ve lost this game in the past, as a result of the Gunners’ tendency towards gung-ho naivety, but in some respects I would’ve almost rather we had gone down with a roar, than grind out a frustrating point with an uninspiring whimper.

Bearing in mind that the chant of “boring, boring Arsenal” used to be our own badge of honour, many moons back when “1-0 to the Arsenal” was our team’s trademark, it was just a tad ironic that we were left taunting our opponents at the final whistle, for having edged ever closer to the Premier League finishing line with a hard-earned point, with our own former trait of not giving a hoot about providing sufficient entertainment.
