A disaster, again. As seems to be usual this season after the dreaded international break, Arsenal didn't show up to a potential banana skin away game. And, that being the case, we got what we deserved - nothing.
True, our players had returned from the international break with a variety of injuries. True, we only had one point from our previous 3 league away games this year. And true, we missed Vieira today (come to think of it we missed any kind of leader whatsoever today).
West Bromwich is never the nicest place for an away fan to go. Its very handy for the motorways, and very convenient to park in the car park of an anonymous factory near the ground. Lots of teams now choose to build new grounds on industrial estates - West Brom were well ahead of that trend, completely by accident. On the way out, away fans have to walk down a pathway which leads in the complete opposite direction to where 90% actually want to go. They then have to walk around 3 sides of the ground, by which time everybody else has buggered off home.
To make that walk after having taken 3 points is not so bad. To make it with 25,000 home fans swarming around, jubilantly celebrating a deserved home win where they played one of the biggest teams in England off the pitch, is slightly more irritating.
