Fine, I'll leave it....but the way you keep referencing our approach to that game I'd of thought you'd of known a few 'lesser squads' who've gone toe to toe with a top team in TOP form. Obviously not.

Uruguay football matches suspended after fan death

Football matches across Uruguay have been suspended this weekend, after the death of a fan who was shot by rival supporters in September, the country's football association says.
Penarol fan Hernan Fioritto, 21, and two others were hit by rival Nacional supporters, who wanted to steal their club scarves.
The men attacked were celebrating the club's 125th anniversary in the southern town of Santa Lucia.
Fifteen men are being held in prison.
They are now being accused of homicide, El Clarin newspaper reports (in Spanish).
The other two injured men have already recovered, though one of them spent a month in hospital.
Uruguay's football association said in a statement (in Spanish): "As important to all Uruguayans as football is, there is nothing more important than the life of a human being and young football fan.
"We have to think and reflect on what is the limit of passion, admiration and feeling for a football club."
Penarol said on Twitter its flags would fly at half mast and that the club's players would wear armband until the end of the year to remember the victim.

The shirts will be created using marine plastic pollution picked up by Parley clean-up operations around the Maldives. Both clubs and Adidas agreed their logos would not be visible to ensure the jerseys are as environmentally friendly as possible.
"It's an honor to go on this journey with Adidas and to have the opportunity to wear the adidas x Parley kit on-pitch for the first time," Bayern's former Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso said. "With every second breath we take coming from our oceans, it's really important that we do what we can do safeguard them.

"Wearing a kit that is made from recyclable ocean waste is something I'm very happy about, as it's a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness about the need to protect and preserve our oceans.
"I know this is the start of something very special."
Alonso and his Bayern teammates will wear the new shirt for the first time in Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Hoffenheim.

Real Madrid will wear its shirt on November 26 against Sporting Gijon, and Brazilian defender Marcelo feels a special attachment to the project.
"The ocean is a place I hold close to my heart after growing up in Rio de Janeiro, and I have fond memories of playing on the beach when I was a kid," the 28-year-old said.

We had rubbish wearing football shirts against Chelsea!
For me this is a huge boost for you regardless of whether he's entirely match fit or up to steam as you've lacked creativity in the final third.
You've got enough strength and grit in the midfield combined with attacking options to get behind Arsenal. Your defence is solid as well!
If you can keep yourself in the game then your woeful bench (it's on par with how poor some of ours have been previously) may not be a factor.
You'll beat them 2-1 mate.

Big plus for you lot this......
Poor final ball by Son and surprise he didn't have a go himself as he had time to try and place it past the keeper; let alone toe-peg it.

Much as it pains me to say, spuds seem to have the right players to go 3 at the back....we didn't last night. BT commentators sticking the knife in on us at evey available opportunity.
