[Marc Overmars]

Don't care if it's 1-0 and it comes of Chakma's arse in the last minute, just get the 3 points.

[Cripps_orig]

who will score our consolation?Vermaelen

[Olivier's xmas twist]

3-1

Optimisic ACh given us a chance lol.

[Syn]

1-0. Goal will be bundled off Chamakh's arse in the 93rd minute.

[Cripps_orig]

Is this televised?

[Syn]

Is this televised? TV is the source of our consolation.

[Marc Overmars]

Is this televised?

No, even though it's the only fixture this Saturday.

There are 7 fixtures on Sunday.

[Cripps_orig]

Is this Cup final weekend?

Bloody hell i've lost so much interest in football this season

[Syn]

This is indeed cup final weekend. In fact, we have 2 cup finals remaining and it is as well y'know imperative that we win both.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Is this Cup final weekend?

Bloody hell i've lost so much interest in football this season

Stupidly enough it is, so chavs may rest some players for the barcodes game on wednesday.

[Niall_Quinn]

Easy 3 points, who do we have after?

[Cripps_orig]

WBA Baracus away

[Master Splinter]

Holt was rested against Liverpool. He'll be hungry to devour our CBs.

If we don't win this, the players should all shoot themselves really.

[Joker]

Chesney

Sagna
Koscielny
Vermaelen
Gibbs

Song
Ramsey
Rosicky

Gervinho
Benayoun
RVP

[dazthegooner]

Chesney

Sagna
Letters
Flavs
Me

Ach
NQ
Charlie the Gooner

Maccy
LDG
Coney?

[Niall_Quinn]

Why am I in midfield? Play me in my proper position or I'm out of here. Unless you give me a pay rise in which case it's okay (but I won't try)

[Niall_Quinn]

And I'm not passing to Ach.

[ArsenalN5]

--------Szczesny----------
Sagna--TV--Kosh---Gibbs
-----Song----Ramsey-----
---------Rosicky----------
Gervinho--------------Benayoun
------------RVP----------------

He should be playing Alex C, But I think Wenger is protecting him so he doesn't have to go to the Euros.

[Marc Overmars]

There's no need to protect him, he's going to be killed in a pre-season friendly anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

There's no need to protect him, he's going to be killed in a pre-season friendly anyway.

By Diaby.

[Thierrymon]

Yay a lunch time kick off.

Must win game. Hopefully Norwich switch off as they have nothing to play for.

[Flavs]

Still don't get why this isn't on telly but seeing as though i have cancelled Skysports....who cares!

Hopefully the chavs and Barcodes will draw tonight and Spurs will lose that means we know exactly what we need to do on Saturday

[Flavs]

--------Szczesny----------
Sagna--TV--Kosh---Gibbs
-----Song----Ramsey-----
---------Rosicky----------
Gervinho--------------Benayoun
------------RVP----------------

He should be playing Alex C, But I think Wenger is protecting him so he doesn't have to go to the Euros.

he will be in the Olympics instead

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:popcorn:

Hopefully Norwich are lacking a little bit sharpness.

[selassie]

This has now turned into our most important game of the season. I'm confident we can beat Norwich but we must not be complacent.

I hope the boys are up for this, they've gotten themselves into a good position, would hate for us to undo this work with a poor ending.

It's an absolute must win.

[Cripps_orig]

Hope title and relegation places are tied up asap so our match is televised on the last day

[Letters]

Hope title and relegation places are tied up asap so our match is televised on the last day

Pah. I remember one time Sky showed Utd (already champions) vs Someone (already relegated) just so they could jizz over Utd for 90 minutes. Don't bank on our game being televised whatever happens.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And the title can't mathematically be decided until the last day anyway.

[Coney]

The biggest worry is that Norwich and West Brom now have nothing to play for and on paper we should piss it. This worries me.

[Syn]

I'm not being funny - we'll probably win this about 6-0.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Just got a ticket for this one on tx.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

The biggest worry is that Norwich and West Brom now have nothing to play for and on paper we should piss it. This worries me.

We should have the goods to dispatch of a faltering flock(?) of canaries but its the saggy Baggies I worry about. . .the loss of a manager usually lowers confidence levels but I have a feeling they are going to be massively up for the game

1) last game of season
2) a chance to play a part in one of the leagues mini battles
3) give Woy the right kind of goodbye

(I am saying this under the impression that Woy is not staying on at WBA, havent bothered reading anything but headlines.)

[dazthegooner]

And its also Wengers 900th game in charge of Arsenal must win.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

And its also Wengers 900th game in charge of Arsenal must win.

No brainer then. . .WIN it is. . .wait up! Whos the ref? . . .can see one if those tits looking to get their name in lights at this one

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hope title and relegation places are tied up asap so our match is televised on the last day

Title can't be even if one loose. Only Blackbun can be relegated if QPR and Bolton both win.

[Cripps_orig]

Just seen the fixtures

Man City v QPR will be televised for sure

Man Utd match as well cos they are Man utd

[Marc Overmars]

Maybe Sky will stick a couple on the red button with many issues to still be settled.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESPN will have one of the games too.

[Cripps_orig]

Hopefully with it being Woys last game in charge at WBA, we might get one more televised game sneaked in

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal v Norwich (1245 BST)

This is a massive game for Arsenal in the race for third place in the Premier League and the good news for the Gunners is that Norwich look like they have hit the wall in recent weeks, which their manager Paul Lambert will not be happy about.
Lambert will be delighted in one respect, because the Canaries are safe and sat on 43 points, but they seem to have fallen victim to the same problem Charlton used to have when they were in the top flight a few years ago, when they got to 40 points and a few of their players seemed to switch off.
I was speaking to Stoke boss Tony Pulis about this last week and I asked him if players are on a percentage of the prize money you get for where you finish in the table.
Pulis said they are not on that at Stoke, but he thinks that is something worth looking at because it is extra incentive for players at the end of the season, if they need it.
This is Arsenal's last home game of the season which is another reason they will be pushing hard to win it.
They go to West Brom on the last day of the season for Roy Hodgson's farewell to the Baggies before he takes the England job. By then, the Gunners will have an idea of what they need to do to clinch a Champions League place and there might be a carnival atmosphere around The Hawthorns, which will make it easier for them.
If Arsene Wenger's side need to win both games to finish third, then I think they will do it.
Prediction: 2-0

Lawro and Dennis Taylor both predict 2-0 wins

[-Xs-]

Lawro with a 2-0? Never!

[Cripps_orig]

Anyone staying behind for the lap?

I remember last years one :lol:

This seasons not been much better

[Letters]

Oh blast. Forgot about that. I'd have been up for that (assuming we win today, not so much otherwise) as since they got it together they've been pretty good and worked hard. They deserve some appreciation for that. As someone who bleated all season about how we'd finish in mid-table I'd have thought you would agree...

But no, have to get going to see my beloved so can't hang around.

[dazthegooner]

So Arsenal are not your beloved shame on you :sulk:

Boring team selection. No Oxlade, only the usual suspects.

Come on the Arsenal!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Gervinho.

http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/vader.jpg

[Marc Overmars]

Is Yossi starting again?

No need for him at home against a pub team FFS. We need to go for the kill here, our season rests on this game.

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck it. I've had a holocaust.

1-1 imho.

Wenget out.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Holt :scarf:.

[Joker]

Oxlade still not starting despite Gervinho's piss poor form :lol:

WUMger at his best.

Works well for me.

[Master Splinter]

Benayoun!!!!!!!!

Comber :bow:.

[KESSLER]

YOSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Master Splinter]

Is Yossi starting again?

No need for him at home against a pub team FFS.

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yossi. :bow:

[leaf]

get in 1-o beny nails a beauty

[Syn]

Stunning strike. Very Pires-like.

[cricketsi]

How nice to get the early goal. Another two before HT would be nice!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho. :haha:

Everybody just lets him do his own thing.

Great block from Gibbs to stop Holt.

[Master Splinter]

Holt shot blocked by Gibbs!

[Niall_Quinn]

Holt, what a donkey. Lucky for us.

[leaf]

are we going to sit back for the rest of the game and see if we can concede

[Master Splinter]

Benayoun's birthday today as well :bow:.

Must Keep.

[Dennis Bendtner]

So, this is definitely Elton's last game at the Emirates? Sad that. If we go 5-0, let him manage the team. Who knows, he might go radical and bring Chamberlain on.

[Syn]

Benayoun's birthday today as well :bow:.

Must Keep.

He just lets the others play.

But in a meaningful way - not the BSP way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holt clears one for us. Barely got out of our half since scoring. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Hoolahan. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Szczesny :doh:.

Alwful.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Rubbish defending. Szcz lets it through his hands.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

for fuck sake

[Marc Overmars]

:gp:

Me. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho. :haha:

[cricketsi]

That was coming. Need to up our game.

[Niall_Quinn]

Absolute shit. Scoring first has screwed us over. We need to go behind now to have a chance of winning this.

[Marc Overmars]

Here we go. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP curls one but not close at all.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gervinho must have lost possession 20 times already this game. Get him off and Ox on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We canhave no complaints. They have been battering us

[Xhaka Can’t]

No midfield at all

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Szajananay, shame Holt was offside anyway though.

[Master Splinter]

Holt :bow:.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Norwich are in acres of space all the time totally and completely unchallenged in the centre of the park

[Niall_Quinn]

Hmmm, somebody needs to tell them we need the 3 points here, not summer hols yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey booked.

[cricketsi]

No midfield at all Indeed. Everybody seems to be on differing wavelengths as well.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Oh good Ramsey manages to kick something

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey is a thorn in our side and we miss Arteta.

[selassie]

Ramsey is a thorn in our side and we miss Arteta.

Yep, he's completely out of his depth, he needs to be loaned out next season IMHO.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Evening all. . .and oh dear so far. . .losing it in the middle of the park

Ramsey's proving Wenger still has a stubbon streak

[Niall_Quinn]

Is that Mickey from Doctor Who co-commenting on the Sopcast stream? Wish he'd shut up a bit.

[Marc Overmars]

This has a typical end of season feel about it, very much in keeping with how mediocre we are every year from April-May.

[selassie]

Evening all. . .and oh dear so far. . .losing it in the middle of the park

Ramsey's proving Wenger still has a stubbon streak

We haven't really got any other options, it's essential we strengthen central midfield this summer regardless of whether we're in CL next season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Guess the subs.
Santos for Chesney
Fabianski for RvP

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Holt, he Saha'd it.

[Dennis Bendtner]

This is pathetic, seriously.

[Master Splinter]

Norwich probably deserve that.

[Marc Overmars]

Oh fucking hell.

[selassie]

I cant see us coming back from this, no CL for us next season.

[Mr. Lahey]

what the hell was that?! no effort in getting back from our midfield there.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

What the fuck are our midfield doing, TRACK BACK YOU LAZY BASTARDS

[Niall_Quinn]

Excellent 2-1 to Norwich - now we're in business. Should win it now.

[Thierrymon]

Rosicky jus watching.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

What the hell is going on. . .playing like a bunch of 10 year olds

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP couldn't get on the end of it, close.

Jackson booked.

[cricketsi]

Guess the subs.
Santos for Chesney
Fabianski for RvP

Chamakh for Gervinho first, followed by Santos for Benayoun then AOC for Ramsey when it's too late for him to have any influence. Wumger :bow:

[Thierrymon]

Awful tackle. Koz looks injured.

[Dennis Bendtner]

RVP close to getting on the end of a Sagna cross.

Midfield open all the time on the counterattack.

[Marc Overmars]

People applaud this team and comment on their character and determination, this is progression apparently.

Yet this Arsenal side are on the verge of doing something even the spineless Fabregas-led team never quite managed to do - miss out on CL football from a position of superiority.

[leaf]

2-1down being completely outplayed don't deserve cl football next season

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Excellent 2-1 to Norwich - now we're in business. Should win it now.

failed to score more than one goal in last three games, i don't see us doing anything but losing it bye bye rvp!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna down. What a clusterfuck.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Sagna is injured.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger needs to take Ramsey off and put Coquelin in. Then he needs to take ChamakhGervinho off and put Ox on. Simple really.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Wenger doing the water bottle after Holt's goal.

[selassie]

People applaud this team and comment on their character and determination, this is progression apparently.

Yet this Arsenal side are on the verge of doing something even the spineless Fabregas-led team never quite managed to do - miss out on CL football from a position of superiority.

The squad in general is too fragile, outside of our strongest XI we have real weak replacements, they are technically weak and weak characters too. I didn't see this coming a few weeks back but we've only ourselves to blame.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Wenger needs to take Ramsey off and put Coquelin in. Then he needs to take ChamakhGervinho off and put Ox on. Simple really.

Amen to that

[Xhaka Can’t]

I just want to fucking go home. That **** HT celebrated right in front of us. This is awful and the worst thing is, we completely deserve this. We are being spanked. At home. By a promoted team with nothing to play for

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Just seen the replay, Gerv, Rsmsey, Rosicky strolling back. . .Gibbs every right to be fucked off

[cricketsi]

That fucked-up failing to shoot led to the situation where Sagna got injured. Bloody Arsenalness!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Hoolahan takes out Coquelin.

[Thierrymon]

Fucking holt. Is he storing acorns in his cheeks?

[cricketsi]

Coquelin coming on at RB means Ramsey's pretty much guaranteed to play the whole match in CM. Crapsticks.

[Niall_Quinn]

See that again? Our players go in the book, theirs don't. This happens all the time.

[Thierrymon]

Missing arteta massively. He is aplayer that knows where to be in midfield and is not afraid to put the work in.

[cricketsi]

See that again? Our players go in the book, theirs don't. This happens all the time.

We need Syn to clarify whether GHELness trumps home advantage?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs. :doh:

At least we created something this time.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Gibbs wide after good play from Gervais. Strangely the forehead has been our most dangerous attacker so far.

[Gubby Allen]

Gervinho must have lost possession 20 times already this game. Get him off and Ox on.

How long now until 67th minute

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're just observing the collapse period.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Commentators bringing up Beckham/Simonegate :doh:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Not sure why Johnson's not booked there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yossi thick as a plank there, but he did get stepped on first.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a challenge from Coquelin.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not sure why Johnson's not booked there.


Maybe he'll get booked when he swaps shirts at the end.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Fuck Gibbs keeps getting in the way by being in the oerfect position again

[Thierrymon]

Gervinho is so awkward. He is like a new born giraffe.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Fuck Norwich time wasting already

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shirt pull on Martin? Not given anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

100% pen to them, crazy by Koz.

[Thierrymon]

Norwich should hav had two pens. We are getting destroyed right up the anoos.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Commentator sauing the ref bottled it. . .saying if it was at the other end a pk would have been given. . .fuck that would a first this season!

[GP]

The commentator seems to be Norwich's head cheerleader.

Martin had his arms around Kos, nothing doing there.

[Globalgunner]

We have seen this type of thing time and time again. a fast break, our defence is outnumbered and our midfield?.......They just come strolling in like they are on an afternoon jog.......Shit attitude and crap management, Our midfiled is the laziest in any of the 5 leagues.

[Niall_Quinn]

Song crap today.

[cricketsi]

Song's been shit. And when you need to carry Ramsey that's just not good enough.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Yossi should be in but for an alwful touch.

[Master Splinter]

Bendtner touch from Benayoun. :doh:

[cricketsi]

Arsene's going to need to pull out a top notch HT team talk. :pray:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Need to see more direct running by Rosicky and Benny, Ramsey can fuck off and bring on Oxo

[GP]

Need a goal. Get Chamakh on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Final ball, final touch, composure, fucked every time. Some effective approach play but nobody can do anything with it. Sad performance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vermaelen booked.

[leaf]

are we playing for a cl place or are we playing to stay up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We should be 1-8 down.

[GP]

are we playing for a cl place or are we playing to stay up

cl place. We are 3rd, not much chance of going down.

[Dennis Bendtner]

My god. 3-1 is looking a lot more likely than 2-2.

[Niall_Quinn]

TV booked for tackling.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Doesnt the ref know there is no need to cheat?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 HT.

Terrible. Again.

Boos ring out, shockingly.

[GP]

Kos :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos saves us, great tackle.

[GP]

btw, ref got the pel shouts right.

[Thierrymon]

I dont get what sort of player ramsey is. He cant defend, his passing is very average and he doesnt threaten the goal. Is it related to his injury? I dont remember him being this bad before.

[fakeyank]

No worries guys. We went through a great unbeaten run in February/March. Something is 'different' in this team.. if you cant see it or feel it, then clearly something is wrong with you!

[Niall_Quinn]

Worst half of the season? When we needed one of our best? Early goal killed us, this team doesn't have the mindset to deal with it. Ramsey, Song, Gervinho awful. Put Fabianski in the middle, couldn't be any worse. Lucky to get out of that only a goal down.

[Marc Overmars]

This is horrible - 45 minutes to keep this season in our hands.

Come on Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

No worries guys. We went through a great unbeaten run in February/March. Something is 'different' in this team.. if you cant see it or feel it, then clearly something is wrong with you!

Yes, well done. It's all working out for you.

[Niall_Quinn]

btw, ref got the pel shouts right.

Coq goit the ball, no pen. The Kos one 100% pen, we'd be screaming if we didn't get that - in fact we often have been as it looks like pens for us were outlawed around the mid season point.

[Dennis Bendtner]

A lot of blocks and last-ditch tackles to keep this at 1-2. Could really be worse. But still a huge task to secure the minimum requirement in the second half. I don't see their danger on the counterattack waning. Huge 45 minutes.

[Xhaka Can’t]

100% pen to them, crazy by Koz.

I was 30 yards away and saw it clearly. Cast iron pel. But should have blown before that for a free to us.

[Thierrymon]

Even liverpool beat this lot....

[GP]

Coq goit the ball, no pen. The Kos one 100% pen, we'd be screaming if we didn't get that - in fact we often have been as it looks like pens for us were outlawed around the mid season point.

Nah, Martin had his arms around Kos. 50/50 at best.

[Joker]

Pathetic performance. Being outplayed at home against Norwich is unforgivable.

[selassie]

Watching Arsenal when under pressure is so painful. I feel so helpless watching us throw away our season. We've essentially got 45 minutes to save our season, I'm not sure what Arsene is going to say to the players but if I was in his position I'd tell every single one of them they are playing for their future.

[Niall_Quinn]

Maybe we were just kidding around the first 45 to add some drama. That must be it. Down to serious business in the second half.

[Syn]

I must say we are in a very interesting position. Chamakh might need to be used from the 65th minute.

[Master Splinter]

Song's chippy assists have glossed over the fact that he's been poor in at least half our games this season. Arteta's influence must be evident to everyone by now.

Only Rosicky and Gibbs are trying to make something happen. Koscielny excellent as usual (shirt pull aside and everyone else gets away with them anyway).

Holt showing why he's a genuinely good striker. Probably been better than Rooney in open-play this season tbf.

[cricketsi]

I have faith Wenger will get them out and playing in the 2nd half. :MOC:

[Power n Glory]

Wenger better tear into these players and demand a performance. It's just not good enough. Why does he insist and picking the same shitty players go haven't offered anything new in months?

[Niall_Quinn]

Watching Arsenal when under pressure is so painful. I feel so helpless watching us throw away our season. We've essentially got 45 minutes to save our season, I'm not sure what Arsene is going to say to the players but if I was in his position I'd tell every single one of them they are playing for their future.

They might be playing for his future. Wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Could they not just give the fans a single crumb? Too much to ask?

[GP]

We have badly missed Walcott and Arteta

[Niall_Quinn]

I must say we are in a very interesting position. Chamakh might need to be used from the 65th minute.

To cement the loss?

[selassie]

Song's chippy assists have glossed over the fact that he's been poor in at least half our games this season. Arteta's influence must be evident to everyone by now.

Only Rosicky and Gibbs are trying to make something happen. Koscielny excellent as usual (shirt pull aside and everyone else gets away with them anyway).

Holt showing why he's a genuinely good striker. Probably been better than Rooney in open-play this season tbf.

Pretty much

[Joker]

If Wenger's still a good manager and not a bumbling idiot as Letter's claims, then he'll bring Oxlade on at half time. Get Ramsey off, tell Song to just sit and leave the creation to Rosicky and Oxlade.

[Özim]

I'm not sure what Arsene is going to say to the players
"We lack a little bit of sharpness but have shown great spirit and togetherness"

[leaf]

cl place. We are 3rd, not much chance of going down.so why arent we playing like a cl team

[Xhaka Can’t]

No worries guys. We went through a great unbeaten run in February/March. Something is 'different' in this team.. if you cant see it or feel it, then clearly something is wrong with you!

Oh good and opportunity has arisen for you to feel smug about all your tantrums. A big yay for you.

Yay

[Marc Overmars]

Chamakh to score the goal that takes us into the CL. :good:

In the same way Carroll and Torres have popped up with crucial goals recentley.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Need a goal. Get Chamakh on.


Wash your mouth out young man

[cricketsi]

If Wenger's still a good manager and not a bumbling idiot as Letter's claims, then he'll bring Oxlade on at half time. Get Ramsey off, tell Song to just sit and leave the creation to Rosicky and Oxlade.

I would like to see this happen. I fear that already having had to used one sub will factor against this though.

[selassie]

They might be playing for his future. Wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Could they not just give the fans a single crumb? Too much to ask?

Arsene is untouchable. If we fail he's spin some achievement about us catching up our rivals and how everyone thought we were going to be relegated.

I'm geniunely shocked we're in this position given our form recently, this team really does know how to sink to new depths. It's embarrassing....

[Joker]

so why arent we playing like a cl team

Because we are not good enough to qualify for the Champions League. There are only a handful of players in this squad whom I would say are Champions League elite quality, and one of them's been injured for the whole season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chamakh to score the goal that takes us into the CL. :good:

In the same way Carroll and Torres have popped up with crucial goals recentley.

Trying to outdo the MOC is not big or clever.

[Dennis Bendtner]

The penultimate game of the season hasn't been this interesting in ages.

Come back dead rubbers, all is forgiven. :crying:

[fakeyank]

Park Ju Young will make the difference.

[cricketsi]

Because we are not good enough to qualify for the Champions League. There are only a handful of players in this squad whom I would say are Champions League elite quality, and one of them's been injured for the whole season.
Diaby's been sorely missed. :rose:

[Joker]

Diaby's been sorely missed. :rose:

:lol:

Because we are not good enough to qualify for the Champions League. There are only a handful of players in this squad whom I would say are Champions League elite quality, and one of them's been injured for the whole season.so why are we bothering challenging for it why not throw the game or are we?

[Niall_Quinn]

Lap of "honour" will be interesting if they fuck this up.

[server too busy!]

Have we won a game this season with Ramsey starting. Serious question...

Chelsea away off the top of my head.

We haven't won one without Arteta though, I think.

[selassie]

Yeah, but for the sake of his development and the outcome of todays game Arsene should take him off.

He others this team nothing, he's been playing at a really poor level for quite a while now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sod off Delia.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

No worries guys. We went through a great unbeaten run in February/March. Something is 'different' in this team.. if you cant see it or feel it, then clearly something is wrong with you!

Surprise Surprise the vultures are back picking at the bones. . .

Completely different player since his injury. He's slow, can't spot the pass, negative. It's like having a Diaby who doesn't get injured.

We're still a point ahead.

[Niall_Quinn]

RvP hat-trick coming up, here we go.

[Özim]

Can he still do that twirly thing he once did though?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song going for the hollywood ball again.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal. :pray:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Sod off Delia.

Yeah but leave the trifle

[Niall_Quinn]

Song is straight back on it.

[Syn]

Song is a clown. Don't understand what he's thinking.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Fucking shoot

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

We're still a point ahead.

Spurs clearly have second wind, and to be honest I think by 18:00 tomorrow we will be fifth where we deserve to be. Though on the balance of this performance we should be in the relegation zone

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Gibbs playing like a cf

Nothing to do with injury. He's been the greatest of passers and was always guilty of doing silly flicks and dangerous mistakes that could cost us a goal. Right now, we're seeing an inexperienced player low on confidence. That's why his play is so negative and Wenger is a fool to keep playing him.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Get Podolski on

[Master Splinter]

Rosicky deserves a better team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why don't players run on to the far post? I just don't get it.

[Marc Overmars]

Get Oxlade on, surely he's a better option than Ramsey. His natural position is midfield after all.

[fakeyank]

Our defense :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Jackson.

Terrible isn't a strong enough word.

[Özim]

Why don't players run on to the far post? I just don't get it.
More difficult to 5 yard pass to that area.

[Marc Overmars]

Jesus christ that was close.

[Özim]

Our defense :bow:
Wenger improved it in the summer, we might have conceded loads more goals and have conceded more than any other team in the top half of the table, but it's better.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey is trying to help us by getting sent off, ref isn't budging.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Get Ramsey off before he gets red

[awol retuns]

To be fair, Toons and Spurs deserve to be ahead of us this season. We have been CRAP.

[Özim]

Jesus christ that was close.
You might want to pray to his dad, Jesus could only turn wine into water.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref was right there, Ramsey should be off. He should be off now anyway and Ox on.

[fakeyank]

Wenger improved it in the summer, we might have conceded loads more goals and have conceded more than any other team in the top half of the table, but it's better.

:lol:

Defensive coach are for pussies tbh..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great chance for Benayoun.

[fakeyank]

That was fuckin close!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Should have scored

[Master Splinter]

Benayoun should have scored.

[Munchies]

May even finish outside the top 4 at this rate, 2 points from 4 games is relegation form !

I reckon Man city will beat Newcastle tomorrow, and Spurs will probably overtake us tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho. :haha:

What?

[KSE Comedy Club]

Just got in.

Good to see were keeping our hopes for 3rd place alive.

:rolleyes:
