[Marc Overmars]

Cazorla, Giroud and Podolski. :bow:

[Maestro]

looking forward to seeing our new signings

[Marc Overmars]

Fat Fuck on the bench. I forget he existed.

I'm guessing he'll be gone closer to deadline day as clubs scurry around for players, we have quite the bargain bin for them to shop in.

[GP]

Arshavin is staying.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Any streams?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Try firstrowsports. Watching it on Arsenal Player but given it is being screened on ESPN there are bound to be available streams.

We're in the Beetlejuice shirt

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :bow:

Great ball to Giroud.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud shoots, goes for near post, Horn saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VERMAELEN!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I daresay Bouldy had influence on Mertesacker going for the nearpost flick-on...

Cazorla with the corner. :bow:

[GP]

Skipper :bow:

[accountproblem]

good goal, well worked

[Marc Overmars]

What has Cazorla been like so far?

Typical Spanish midget causing trouble outside the box?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sexy stuff from Cazorla.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What has Cazorla been like so far?

Typical Spanish midget causing trouble outside the box?

And spraying it around one touch.

Pretty good so far I would say.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Great catch there from mannone, didn't throw it into his own net or anything

[Jens' Face]

plenty of streams

http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=165638&part=sports

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great chest down from Giroud after Theo's cross, Cazorla volleys it low - Horn saves well.

[GP]

Ohh, close!

Impressed with Giroud so far.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Pen!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!

Oxo. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

POLDI!!!

[GP]

Pod...

SCORES!

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Pretty crap pen tbh, but it went in!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla is taking the piss. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

New Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Coquelin, gave the ball away tamely - nearly ended up conceding from it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horn saves from Giroud!

Great play between Cazorla and Oxo. :cloud9:

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Lovely one-two there with ox and someone. Giroud goes with his left foot there which seemed unnatural, thought he was right-footed but I guess not

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another great save from Horn to deny Giroud.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Ground goes close again, definitely a lefty! Lol

[accountproblem]

great save, that keepers got a battle going on with giroud

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was another pass from Cazorla to set up that chance. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb save from Horn to deny Giroud again! Great corner from Cazorla.

[GP]

Santi's set-pieces are alwsome

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs. :lol:

Pryzbylko tries to comb it in, Mannone plucks it out of the air.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Triangles :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone. :haha:

Butterfingers puts it on to the bar.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Ox takes a knock, looks alright.

Mannone almost dropped it into the goal :coffee:

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Cazorla trying to nut-meg people on the edge of our box, he really is the new cesc!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good play between Theo and Giroud.

Cazorla. :bow:

[KSE Comedy Club]

Wenger with glasses :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

POLDI!!!

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Great goal! We're playing some great football

[GP]

BOOM!

Finish

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cologne 0-3 Arsenal, HT.

Great stuff, particularly from Giroud, Theo, Poldi and Cazorla.

[GP]

Impressed.

Giroud looks like the player Chamakh should have been.

[GP]

RvP :lol:

Bye

[GunnerFan4Life]

I used a stream for the first half and its quite jumpy, any streams anyone can link again?

[4-3-3]

i can see improving in defending already, and btw i dont mind starting yannaris instead of jerkinson.

[Master Splinter]

Why did the ref blow a minute early?

Refs fucking us over already.

Horn v Giroud is interesting. Could have had a hat-trick already.

Cazorla :bow:.

Podolski :bow:.

Arsenal :bow:.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Gotta paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Gotta paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

It's free to members.

No excuse ;)

[LDG]

Lookin good ##

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone's save. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

RvP :lol:

Bye

Pretty much.

Giroud looks awlsome.

[Maestro]

GP when did you join Arsenal Marketing Dpt.

[Globalgunner]

Refs fucking us over already.

Horn v Giroud is interesting. Could have had a hat-trick already.

Cazorla :bow:.

Podolski :bow:.

Arsenal :bow:.

ref was probably trying to avoid us scoring a 4th before HT. The stadium would probably be empty for the second half if we did.

Observations: 1.If walcott doesnt buck up his ideas with Ox around, then he probably never will

2. If Wenger brought his Diners club card with him he should just dump a million Euros at cologne along with Manonne and take that young keeper while hes there.

3.We still cant defend

[fakeyank]

RVP you can fuck off

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

cazorla the heartbeat of the team. looks very comfortable

podolski sharp and has an eye for goals

giroud seems to have everything. could have scored a hattrick had it not been for their keeper. puts to bed the worry he'll turn into another chamakh.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Were deffinately winning a major trophy this year.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho, Santos, Arshavin and Song are all on I think.

[KSE Comedy Club]

[Master Splinter]

Frimpong's Son :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song
Diaby
Fat Fuck

Gervinho

Hmm, that would explain why we suddenly dont look as potent.

Wasnt RVP supposed to be getting 45 mins?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Podolski just about denied scoring his hat-trick. Gervinho maybe could've played it sooner.

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho makes the right choice for once in the final third! :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho, pass it you moron!

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho reverts to type.

[accountproblem]

gervinho trying to secure a position with a goal and failing, competition!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly a wondergoal from Lehmann!

[Master Splinter]

What a strike!!

Just give them the goal tbf.

[Globalgunner]

Gervinho reverts to type.
I dont thibk ive seen a player more uncomfortable with the concept of scoring a goal, at least not since Alexander helb.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho's dribbling. :bow:

Gervinho's passing. :lol:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

[Master Splinter]

OSW crosses it out of play.

Deserves to be booed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diaby. :doh:

[GP]

Time to sell Song, tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Mertesacker efficiently drinking some water :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4 FT.

Arsenal. :bow:

Now to shit ourselves during the international friendlies.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're devoted to Poldi. Or it's because RVP is Dutch.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

chamakh could learn a thing or two

[KSE Comedy Club]

What does OSW mean?

[LDG]

What does OSW mean?

****

[LDG]

Looked good.

Lost the quality of our play second half.

The new boys looked excellent.

[Master Splinter]

What does OSW mean?

One Season Wonder.

Which is exactly what van Persie is.

[Joker]

One Season Wonder.

Which is exactly what van Persie is.

Good to see people coming round to my way of thinking :good:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

also very happy for yennaris to be our back up right back ahead of jenkinson. hasn't put a foot wrong since he's been introduced.

start him against sunderland.

[fakeyank]

also loved the fact podolski stood up and took the pen in his first game. cant say the kid lacks bottle

A new born german baby wouldnt skip a heartbeat taking a pelanty.. Podolski is 27.. this is a piece of cake for him!

We won 4-0

[Cripps_orig]

Good win

Just seen Podolski scored twice with Vermaelen and Forehead getting the others.

Apparently Cazorla also played and he didnt score? :lol: A bit shit

Did RVP play?

[Injury Time]

Good win

Did RVP play?

Podolski was substituted in the 69th minute. He drew a rapturous reception from all four corners of the crowd and the Cologne fans sang his name for the five minutes that followed his departure. Robin van Persie was the replacement

Arsenal.com match report.

Oh and that is all they wrote about LvP

[Cripps_orig]

69 :bow:

LvP?

Whats the L stand for?

[Injury Time]

69 :bow:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Fat Fuck on the bench. I forget he existed.

I'm guessing he'll be gone closer to deadline day as clubs scurry around for players, we have quite the bargain bin for them to shop in.

Read something that Wenger is looking to keep him as a squad player, as he can play wing or behind striker. . .not bad thinking but I see him leaving and Wenger is throwing some words out there to see the reaction

[AKBapologist]

Arshavin wants to stay in the UK 1 more year so his kids get citizenship.
