Wolverhampton Wanderers v Arsenal - Wednesday 11 April - 19:45

[Master Splinter]

I sense great fuck-up potential here.

But if we're not sloppy and keep Ramsey off the pitch, we should be ok.

Koscielny missing against Wolves and Wigan is not too big a disaster.


Szczesny

Sagna
Djourou
Vermaelen
Santos

Song
Arteta
Rosicky

Walcott
RVP
Oxlade-Chamberlain

1-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves just don't have the quality. Comfortable win, well, as comfortable as we get anyway.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Should be an comfotable win tbh, 1-4 to us tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Wolves are dreadful, all the other pub teams are fighting for it but this lot are as good as gone IMO. After today it would be gutting if we didn't pick up the win. Spurs will probably be above us as well so we must win.

1-3 to the Arsenal.

[Syn]

1-1

Vermaelen and Djourou are 'active' defenders. Koscielny and Mertesacker are more calm and dormant. Ideally you'd have one of each. But two calms are better than two actives. Can see both of them going for the same ball and Fletcher or whatever average they've got will slot home - probably in aid of a deflection.

[Cripps_orig]

Wenger has a habit of losing to Pub Team managers

Would be just like us to gift the Wolves manager his first win

2-1 Wolves

[Özil's Panoramic View]

0-3

[Cripps_orig]

Wolves v Arsenal (1945 BST)

Arsenal's recent defeat at QPR suggested they are still vulnerable to slipping up to relegation-threatened opposition.
Not this time.
They won't admit it but it is all over for Wolves and I think they are already preparing behind the scenes for life outside the Premier League.
Arsenal still have plenty of hard work ahead to secure a top-four finish but if they mess up at Molineux then they don't deserve to play in next season's Champions League.
Wolves cannot defend. Arsenal cannot stop scoring. That can only spell one outcome.
Prediction: 0-2

Lawros prediction

[Cripps_orig]

Sir Chesney

Sagna Djourou Vermaelen Santos

Arteta Song Rosicky

Walcott RVP AOC

[KSE Comedy Club]

Lawros predictionHe does talk some shit though.

If we mess up at wolves then we don't deserve to play in the champions league?!?

Really lawro???

[Joker]

Wolves are going to play a very physical game, and no doubt will get "stuck in". We can't react and should just concentrate on playing our football.

[Ollie the Optimist]

He does talk some shit though.

If we mess up at wolves then we don't deserve to play in the champions league?!?

Really lawro???

using that logic, where the fuck do liverpool deserve to play then?

[Cripps_orig]

Not in the CL?

[The Wengerbabies]

Must win.

[The Ogg Monster]

Wenger will start Ramsey I think.

Therefore we will lose.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Wenger will start Ramsey I think.

Therefore we will lose.



After that woeful miss no way he should start him. Should be made to spend the month with ACH if he does tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Wolves trio Jamie O'Hara, Stephen Hunt and Jody Craddock remain sidelined for Terry Connor's side as the Premier League's bottom side welcome in-form Arsenal to Molineux.

Sylvain Ebanks-Blake was preferred up front against Stoke City but Kevin Doyle may be in line for a return on Wednesday.

Richard Stearman could continue at centre-back, after moving inside to accomodate Ronald Zubar while Roger Johnson is likely to miss out again after Connor opted to replace the controversial centre-back with Karl Henry as the club's captain.

Arsenal will be sweating on the fitness of left-back Kieran Gibbs, who limped out of Sunday's win over Manchester City, and they are still without Jack Wilshere, Per Mertesacker (both ankle), Emmanuel Frimpong (knee), Francis Coquelin and Abou Diaby (both hamstring).

The Gunners will also be without centre-back Laurent Koscielny after the Frenchman picked up a suspension after he collected his 10th yellow card of the campaign against City.

Yossi Benayoun came in for the Gunners in their 1-0 victory over Roberto Mancini's sdie and Arsene Wenger is likely to stick with the 4-3-3 formation that won that game.

DID YOU KNOW?

Wolves have lost their last six games and are the Premier League's bottom side with 22 points from 32 games.

The hosts have conceded 70 goals so far this season - the most of any side in the Premier League.

Behind 11-goal Steven Fletcher, Wolves' second-highest league goalscorer is winger Matt Jarvis (pictured right), who has just five.

The Molineux outfit kept clean sheets in two of their first three Premier League games, on August 21 and 27, but have failed to keep any side out since then.

Wolves have yet to score a league goal in the first 10 minutes of a match.

Arsenal have won seven of their last eight matches.

The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium by Wolves on December 27, Fletcher's equaliser canceling out an early Gervinho strike.

Robin van Persie has scored more goals in all competitions this season (36) than the entire Wolves squad has scored in the Premier League so far (34).

Arsenal have conceded five own goals in the league this term whilst Terry Connor's side have leaked just two.

The Gunners have not lost to Wolves in any competition since September 29 1979, when they were beaten 3-2 in the old Division One. There have been 18 meetings between the two clubs since.That 1-1 draw this season :doh:

Shocking from us

[KSE Comedy Club]

'Sweating over the fitness of Gibbs'

No.

We're used to him being injured after playing a game. Santos is better anyway.

[Marc Overmars]

Still not sure about Santos tbh. Undoubted ability going forward but I think he takes a while to settle into the pace of a game.

[The Ogg Monster]

Say what you like about Santos but he does eat alot of pies.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Still not sure about Santos tbh. Undoubted ability going forward but I think he takes a while to settle into the pace of a game.

This, and was it not worrying when he came on, on Sunday, seemed like he could be a real week link, he needs to come on earlier tbh.

IMO he like Gibbs are not LB's but LM's and it shows.

[GP]

I think it's one of those lazy assertions that he can't defend. Probably because he's brazillian.

He was great against city,

[Syn]

Yeah, he can defend - as well as Sagna? Probably not, but he's not bad. I'd say he definitely has the edge over Gibbs.

Hard to tell in the Man City game because he was probably spent more time at CM than at LB, such was Arsenal's dominance in the game.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I think it's one of those lazy assertions that he can't defend. Probably because he's brazillian.

He was great against city,

I never meant it to sound like he can not defend, just that i don't see him a a defender more a wingback.

[Marc Overmars]

Going to this. :dance:

My brummie based mate has hooked me up.

[Syn]

Gibbs is out injured :rose:

Wenger confirms Santos will start.

Szczesny, Vermaelen, Djourou and Santos in the back 5...hmm...all of them seem to like attacking more than defending (with the exception of Djourou, who is garbage this year). All down to Sagna :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Santos sums up 'attack is the best form of defence'.

If his pressing and transformation into second striker midway through a game works, it helps us dominate. If it doesn't, then we're in trouble. We're usually in trouble through a few brain-dead moments anyway, so Santos going apeshit on the left is kind of welcome.

I agree.

He's a clever player. Knows what he's doing. Actually, he doesn't, but he'll snap someone who keeps going past him. And that's all you can ask for, really.

[Marc Overmars]

I did like his WUMing of Balotelli, even though he clearly fouled him which made it even more, err, WUMier.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Santos looks like he needs a run of games to look competent. Or maybe that's just because he used to be quite fat. The Chelsea game was probably the funniest individual performance of the season. But yeah, hopefully now his fitness is better he will perform better from the off. He should have a few chances to be Ronaldinho tomorrow anyway.

[Cripps_orig]

Apparently Toto will play in this

[Marc Overmars]

2-1 Wolves.

[Master Splinter]

Apparently Toto will play in this

Djourou injured?

If so, Song will drop back and the midfield will be Oxo-Arteta-Rosicky.

But WUMger is due another WUMger special.

That just means he and Ju are in the squad to make up the numbers. We have six injured, plus Koscielny suspended. They'd be slumming it with Eisfeld if Gibbs and Gervinho were fit.

[Sean Goonery]

I read somewhere that the Squid is in the line up...

[Young Guns 11]

That just means he and Ju are in the squad to make up the numbers. We have six injured, plus Koscielny suspended. They'd be slumming it with Eisfeld if Gibbs and Gervinho were fit.

Eisfeld scored a slick goal for the reserves today. Looks a player. As does Serge Gnabry. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least it won't be the Squillaci - Koscielny partnership of doom.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Dourou is gonna start alongside verms according to SSN today.

[Flavs]

Still not sure about Santos tbh. Undoubted ability going forward but I think he takes a while to settle into the pace of a game.

He's also fat

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We were eight points behind Tottenham on February 1st according to 5live. :lol: 12 points, actually. Berks.

[Master Splinter]

If there's a lack of control/balance in midfield due to Ramsey's presence and with Santos going wherever he wants, this could be as insane as the Liverpool game last night.

Actually, WUMger has probably deployed Ramsey out on the left and Benyanoon in the middle.

Will Oxo ever start again?

Bit of a deep cross from Theo.

[Cripps_orig]

Infostrada Sports on Twitter: "Van Persie scored against his 17th different Premier League club this season, equalling the record previously set by Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Ian Wright. The only teams Van Persie has not scored against are Manchester City, Fulham and, of course, Arsenal."Is it wrong for me to hope RVP scores an OG so he gets the record?

Onl when we are 7-0 up though

[fakeyank]

:lol: what did he do now?

Failed to control the ball.. Really like this guy but he has been awful recently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doyle will be going off soon. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Accurate short pass from Ramsey straight to Henry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run from Zubar, puts it across goal, nobody close to it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT. Very comfortable, shame we haven't gone for the jugular though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Desperately poor half of football. We never go for the jugular. One stupid mistake here and they could GHEL their way back into this because we've already left and are on the bus home.

[leaf]

h-t thank fuck gotta ruin them its like a training game

[Syn]

We are playing with the handbrake on. Who cares though tbf.

Get Park on. Might as well make some money out of this through shirt sales.

Arsenal's no.9 :bow:

[LDG]

Playing against ten is never easy for some reason. We're huffing and puffing a bit after a banging start.

Too many flicks....just go for the direct ones.

Play the pretty stuff when we've got four....

Set up for Oxy 20 mins to go....

[Maestro]

Just plugged in to the Matrix, good evening all how's it been.

For those watching how are we playing so far, and more importantly how are Theo and Ramsey playing?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

2-0 up and comfortable

2-2 draw then

[Syn]

For those watching how are we playing so far, and more importantly how are Theo and Ramsey playing?

Evening. 0-2 up and they were down to 10 men early. After that, it's just been tippy tappy safe stuff.

Ramsey and Theo have been doing quite well. Theo the direct cause of both goals (took his very well). But nobody is having to play extremely well...it's all just comfortable, training session type stuff. Aside from a few nasty tackles, Wolves seem to have given up.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Might be worth tuning in for the 2nd half. If it continues like this then Wolves will go mental and have another couple sent off. Might cash in then. Otherwise we will carry on to play a little bit with the handbrake. Hope we don't stall.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Any links to the game bitches?

[mkkreuk]

Just plugged in to the Matrix, good evening all how's it been.

Ramsey has been a bit shit. I like him but he's continuing his sloppy season.

Theo's looked good, especially in the first 20-25 mins. Think he might be letting the wolves fans get to him a bit (doesnt take a lot), but he's starting to fluff things a bit more. Still he'll be happy with his performance so far - has been looking to get in the right places and has been drifting left to right effectively.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

would be good if RVP gets a hat trick and we steam roll these Pups in the 2nd half

[leaf]

wolves are making dj look good

[Maestro]

:tiphat:

Ah sounds familiar, in that case let's get the win and go home. If we get 3 points without suffering exhaustion, why not at this point but still need one or two to make sure.

Good to hear about Theo and Ramsey part of our GB emissariy mission.

Ta Syn, I'll tune in for the second half

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's terrible from Zubar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :haha:

What a tit.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ramsey:ilt:

[Maestro]

Oh Ramsey

If Theo makes good runs, it'd be great if HRIM could find him with some of his deft through balls. We need more options than just the RVP outlet.

[Syn]

It's painful to watch Ramsey in front of goal.

Always, always delays the shot.

[leaf]

Ramseys got his boots on the wrong feet

[Niall_Quinn]

Really crappy performance, we still don't give respect to teams like Wolves even though it has cost us so many time. One fuck up here and this game is back on.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Verms for CF

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP should've scored.

[Syn]

Nice pass by Ramsey. Arteta could've shot imo.

[gunnerrrrr]

FFS get Oxo on, give the lad a fucking chance Arsene

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zubar booked. Thug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kightly booked. :lol:

[Maestro]

It's painful to watch Ramsey in front of goal.

Always, always delays the shot.

That boy overthinks shit, and is not trusting his instinct ...if he has one. Problem is we have maybe just 3 players with a real incisive or killer instinct, and it doesn't help that HRIM and Verm are two of that three. Ox, and Jack have an edge as well though young and hopefully Theo one day snaps and decides to be a nasty and single minded ****.

I wish we had a few more real killers in our team, but hopefully we'll get there one day :-)

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Sir Ches to the rescue

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Sznznzny!

[Grebbo]

This is crazy. Get your shit together you goons!!

[Cripps_orig]

Why havent we killed this game off yet?

A well deserved "Welcome Back Arsenal" due?

[Niall_Quinn]

See, you fuck around and take your foot off the gas and here we are, making it hard for ourselves against 10 men. And the crowd could play a big role here, I can see lots of diving and other bullshit coming up.

[leaf]

great save from chesney whats going on theyve had more shots on goal in this half

[Globalgunner]

These are the kind of games that show we have a poor manager, since going 2-0 up and 1 man ahead we are now struggling to keep up with wolves. WTF. You know that any chance at all the ref will give them a penalty.....It is so obvious and the prof just sits and watches it unfold, preparing his we wuz robbed speech. Kill the game and all hope off FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Make a change Wenger FFS.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey will be off, bring Rosicky on. And what would be wrong with giving Ox a run-out here? Perfect for him against 10 men.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BENAYOUN!!!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ben makes it 3

[Dennis Bendtner]

Lovely finish from Yoshi.

[Cripps_orig]

Hanging on v the bottom club with 10 men :doh:

Wenger has to go asap

And then we go and score

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice strike by Yossi, 3-0. About time.

[Flavs]

easy peasy and getting closer to the 1-6 i predicted

[Niall_Quinn]

Now 4, 5 and 6 please as a good buzz for the chav match.

Really should get RVP off. His services are no longer needed in this one. Too much of a risk keeping him on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benayoun. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Game like this would really suit Gerv's style of play

Espceially coming on as a sub.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Jenkinson coming on. :)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blatant foul on Ramsey, no pelanty given.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Looks like it should've been a pen on Ramsey.

[Master Splinter]

That was a pel.

Ref :doh:.

Ramsey also had another shot saved. He'd be amazing if he could score one of his fifty chances per game.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ramsey not instinctive enough to stay down and get a penalty

can't he do something right for a change

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - 100% penalty but the ref decides the rules don't apply because Wolves are losing 3-0. This shit has to stop, rules are rules regardless of the score.

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey doesnt want to kill anyone tonight.

[Syn]

Song really should've played Ramsey in there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sznananay. :bow:

[Dennis Bendtner]

:haha: wtf? The ref is not applying the rules at all. How was that not a foul on Arteta?

Anyway, full time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 0-3 Arsenal, FT.

Arsenal. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Ref has given them everything this half.

Could have been as scandalous as the 4-4 if Wolves weren't utter shit.

[Syn]

This ref's ridiculous. Arteta's been battered today.

[Niall_Quinn]

3 points which is the main thing, but a really sloppy and irritating performance.

[LDG]

Nice and easy.

Though we were much better than the commentary suggested second half. Bar one wonderave and a meaningless save at the end, ches wasn't worried all night.

We controlled most of it. got a little sloppy at times, but did more than enough to deserve the win.

The ref actually decided he wasn't going to give us a single thing second half. Blatent pel on Ramsey.

[LDG]

Arteta again :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Looks comfortable.

Was anything but

Outplayed and outfought in the 2nd half by a 10 man bottom placed team

Thank fuck they lacked quality.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

checks back earlier post in thread and sees where i called it 0-3

I'm gravely concerned about that LWB position thou....fat f*** Santos was pretty much shyt today....i think i prefer Gibbs to him from a defensive perspective

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks comfortable.

Was anything but

Outplayed and outfought in the 2nd half by a 10 man bottom placed team

Thank fuck they lacked quality.

Outplayed? Wolves can't play at all, so how can we have been outplayed?

[Cripps_orig]

Seems like the ref had a good game

Good decision not to give the pen for challenge on Ramsey as the defender got the ball

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Outplayed? Wolves can't play at all, so how can we have been outplayed?

Pretty much.

[Coney]

You were just outplayed by a wum. :good:

Its Obvious you did not watch the game it was a clear pen.

[Cripps_orig]

Referee Neil Swarbrick looks to have got a decision spot on at Molineux, keeping schtum as Nenad Milijas slides in on Aaron Ramsey. The Serbian looks on further inspection to got a faint flick on the ball.

Another Charlie shocker :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Another Charlie shocker :lol:

Watch it for yourself rather then getting shit from BBC or Goal.com.

[Cripps_orig]

Watch it for yourself rather then getting shit from BBC or Goal.com.Why? A neutral has said it wasnt a penalty whilst blinkered Arsenal fans say it is

I know who id rather believe

[Cripps_orig]

on the result…
We started well and then had a situation where we could control the game. Did we push on or not? After that we played a bit with the handbrake on, they played deeper and defended like mad with a great spirit until the end of the game. If they keep that spirit then they still have a chance of staying in the league. On our part we controlled the game, although they actually had a spell in the second half where they created chances. Szczesny made a good save but after that it was a comfortable win.

on top-three situation…
I am very happy that we are in this position but I am also very cautious because some teams have been in that position before. We want to win our next game because where we have come from this season we must be focused. We have come from very deep and to stay in this position we have to focus on our next game.

on the penalty…
It looked to me [like a penalty] but I have not seen it again. You could argue that he is the last man as well. The referee had no choice but I think the punishment is harsh because you give away a penalty and you lose a man as well.

on spoiling the game…
It spoils the game for the supporters because they know they have little chance to come back after. I never forget that we lost Robin van Persie in Barcelona last season when he got a second yellow card for kicking the ball away. It was just strict application of the rules. Today I think the referee had no choice because it is the rule.

on Van Persie's finish…
It was a surprise to me because I have never seen him doing that. It was just what came into his mind at the last second he said.

on ending his four-game goal draught…
It is not easy for a striker like Van Persie who is not used to not scoring. I think he equalled the record of Ian Wright by scoring against 17 different teams in the Premier League out of 20. That is absolutely remarkable in the modern game so I would like to congratulate him because that has never been done before. When your striker scores against 17 different teams, that is sensational.

on possibility to improve on record…
He could have beaten it if he had scored against Manchester City. The last two chances he had were Man City and tonight. He hit the post twice and Vermaelen saved one on the line against City.

on the Wigan game…
Wigan did not deserve to lose at Chelsea and they got a great result tonight. It is a good warning for us to prepare well in that game.

on FA decision not to extend Balotelli ban…
I still don't understand. If you look at the case of Balotelli you get an explanation and you have to accept it. Then you look at the case of Derry, you get an explanation and you can accept it. But if you put the two together it looks absolutely unbelievable. When the referee has seen something nobody can get over the rule.

We need an exceptional committee of ethics who can get over that. The global situation does not make common sense. For people who love football you cannot accept that one is punished and the other is not. But I am not keen to get Balotelli suspended because I have no interest at all in that.

Handbrake :bow:

[Syn]

:haha:

He's taking the piss. He has to be.

[Syn]

And grow the fuck up, Cripps. Stick it in the match reaction thread ffs. No-one cares who started it.

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

He's taking the piss. He has to be.Which part?

[Syn]

Which part? The playing with the handbrake line. He's been bringing out the classics recently. Very much on top of his game atm.
