You didn't miss much, wasn't much between us think we just about deserved the win. We have a lot of work to do, nonetheless nice to have three points on the board, get Greenacre & Shuker fit and we'll have a good side

Grrr, 3-2, thought we had at least a point there as well, which I'd have taken before the start, with that side out and no-one on the bench. It was mentioned on radio commentary that high-chairs would have been more appropriate by the side of the pitch. I was older than several of them 
. Desperately, desperately need a couple of new signings - two midfielders and a striker at the very least. And Cahill, Anichebe, Pienaar, Vaughan all back.

As an Arsenal fan I feel pretty pleased with the result earlier today, got 3 points out of the way with no major scares, didn't play particularly well but decently enough, as Brumby has said, after a very shaky start Brom didn't disgrace themselves and held Arsenal up well enough.
Decent debut from Nasri, grabbing a goal and showing some nice touches, pleasingly showed a physical side to his game and wasn't pushed off the ball at all like you may expect a young player from abroad to in his first few games.
Also thought Denilson was very good today, star man for me.

Well done reckon it will be tight this season can't see Leeds running away with the division as most pundits seem to think.
How did Godwin Antwi do for you lot. We had him last season and looked like a outsatnding talent big, strong, quick athletic but made one clanger after another. When there was a huge call for him to be dropped it turned out that his loan contract from Liverpool stated that if he played 1st team Liverpool would pay his wages if he didn't we had to. Certainly cost us a few points even if it saved us a few quid.

Well it has been reported your lot will get Juventus flop Tiago Mendis on loan. Well it looks like he will need a new club since he moved out of his place in Turin.Grrr, 3-2, thought we had at least a point there as well, which I'd have taken before the start, with that side out and no-one on the bench.

Norwood's on Fire
Yeah, the guy is looking shaky so far. Wouldn't be surprised if he had similar clause this time round, as it seemed certain we would drop a defender for the returning Ian Goodison, but instead we moved Antony Kay (legend btw) into midfield.
Antwi, Moore and Savage all got roundly booed by your lot, I believe Savage is due to some disrespectful celebrations or something

Suprised & dissapointed Moore got booed had a lot of time for him always give it 100% when he played for us. Wish we had kept him TBH.
The Bas Savage thing relates to the beginning of 2006/2007 when he had a trial with us. After making a lot of positive noises Danny Wilson suprisingly decided not to take him on. I think Savage felt he had been led down the garden path a wasted a quite a few weeks at the beginning of the season. Anyway last season he comes on as sub for Brighton and scored a 90th minute winner at the Vic then gives it the 'stuff you' sign towards the bench. The crowd where incensed though as thew game was our 1st game since youth player Michael Maidens had died in road acciden, and the game was a tribute to his memory, so there was already a lot of emotion attached to the game. The gesture was seen as a huge sign of dissrespect and he has been on the most hated list ever since.
I think Savage had a point TBH but that was not the game to express it.
