Arsenal v West Ham United FC

Dan C wrote:Two more pressing points:

1. Why have the club totally shortchanged supporters with this season's away kit? The team have worn it once, away at Swansea in August, and never since! We have worn LAST season's away kit three times at Man Utd twice, and last night at Arsenal. Why? We've worn navy at both clubs before so it can't be a colour clash issue. Why are we releasing two new kits a season and then discarding a replica shirt that people have spent good money on. Glad I didn't get one. RIP OFF

2. Wally Downes. Since his departure we have picked up 5 points out of 21, 24% of the points on offer. Before his departure we had 22 points from a possible 48, picking up 46% of the points available. We conceded 20 goals in the first 16 games (1.25 per game) and have let in 13 in the 7 games (1.9 per game) since he left. We had kept 5 clean sheets before he left and have only had one since, and that came in the match immediately after his departure. I don't know what Wally was like as a coach but he seemed to be great at fostering a very positive atmosphere amongst the players.

I have heard strong rumours that his departure was for gross misconduct (drug related over Xmas). Allegedly of course
