West Ham (Jesus frigging christ lads) became the first ever team to win at Ashburton Grove, and it was a loss that should never have happened.
In a game that Arsenal had 1397 clear cut chances, the Gunners ran out clear losers after the Happy Hammers found the net with their sole chance in the clash.
The pain felt in the dressing room was too much to bear, and the players there and then made an oath not to drop anymore points at home this season.
An oath Arsenal kept in tact after the first hurdle with an important victory over Champions League wannabe’s, Bolton, by fighting back from a one goal deficit Saturday past.
Kolo Toure reveals all.
“It was vital for us to get a victory over Bolton at the weekend.’
“We needed the win, not only to guarantee fourth but also to challenge for third. That`s our top target up to the end of season. After the West Ham defeat, we took an oath that we cannot drop any more points at home.’
“If we look at our home games this season, we can see how many points we`ve lost. It is so many.”
The next test of the Arsenal resolve to keep their promise intact takes place this evening as Arsenal take on Man City at AG.
