Schalke 04 v Arsenal 6/11/12

[Cripps_orig]

A game we cant lose or we are in massive trouble

[Marc Overmars]

This will be even tougher than today.

[Cripps_orig]

Mannone

Sagna Mertersacker Miquel Vermaelen

Coquelin Wilshere Cazorla

Theo Pod Arshavin

[Niall_Quinn]

Mannone

Sagna Mertersacker Miquel Vermaelen

Coquelin Wilshere Cazorla

Theo Pod Arshavin

You missed Ramsey and santos. Silly, unrealistic team selection.

[Joker]

Mannone

Jenkinson Mertesacker Koscielny Sagna

Coquelin Arteta Cazorla

Walcott Podolski AOC

[Cripps_orig]

Play Wilshere for sure.

Hes gets 11 days off afterwards

Arteta is terrible. He was pathetic today. He needs to go

As for Kos.....oh dear

[Marc Overmars]

Wenget taking Ramzi off early may suggest he is prepared to end the madness.

This could be a good game for Theo, Schalke are bound to see a lot of the ball and we need an outlet to break on them. Not sure about Oxlade's fitness but if he is ready I reckon he should start as well.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Wenget taking Ramzi off early may suggest he is prepared to end the madness..

The suggestion is he was injured. WengerBot was probably in full working order.

[Master Splinter]

Potential hollow cost here.

Mannone

GHELkers
BFG
Koscielny
Sagan

Arteta
Wilshere
Crapzola

Theo
Giroud
Oxlade/Podolski


Attack is the only option. Giroud has been doing well considering he gets no support from the rest of the front six.

[Joker]

If we can manage to take a point it'll be a great result.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schalke lost today too, 3-2 away to Hoffenheim.

[Master Splinter]

Schipplock with the winner.

What an awlsome name.

[Grebbo]

Play the kids. Fulham at home next weekend is more important.

Bullshit! The starting eleven is Ramsey + 10 :coffee:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bullshit! The starting eleven is Ramsey + 10 :coffee:

Ramsey and Santos + 9 :coffee:

[Kano]

the result is all in their name. they're fucked.

[Marc Overmars]

It's probably worth putting Sagan at LB to track Farfan and their little Japanese fullback. There's no point in giving that charlatan Santos another go after he was roasted 2 weeks ago.

[milla]

Ramsey and Santos + 9 :coffee:

Santos is not key player, Ramsey is. :coffee:

[Niall_Quinn]

Santos is not key player, Ramsey is. :coffee:

Man Utd, Reading and just about everyone else to play against him would argue the opposite. They view him as a must start.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Man Utd, Reading and just about everyone else to play against him would argue the opposite. They view him as a must start.

I am not racist against ramsey tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

You missed Ramsey and santos. Silly, unrealistic team selection.

I havent posted the Schalke team yet hence i didnt name them

[Özil's Panoramic View]

I havent posted the Schalke team yet hence i didnt name them

Ach :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I havent posted the Schalke team yet hence i didnt name them

NQ :rose:

How many times is that now, you owned him?

[Cripps_orig]

I am not in the business of critisising another poster to make myself look good

[Olivier's xmas twist]

So none, cause he alway owns you.

[Cripps_orig]

So none, cause he alway owns you.

Pretty much

Apart from the Theo, Wenger, board topics

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Pretty much

Apart from the Theo, Wenger, board topics
You mean where he Schools you. You tell him Theo is world class and he owns you time and time again.

NQ :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

ok

Back on topic

Schalke lost at the weekend

We are doing this

[Syn]

Hope Szczesny, Gibbs and Oxlade are back. Could do with some fresh faces.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

if that fat brazilian wildebeest starts at left back i hope he breaks his leg.

apart from that id like to see walcott and chambo on each wing. giroud up top.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hope Szczesny, Gibbs and Oxlade are back. Could do with some fresh faces.

And some talent.

[Syn]

And some talent.

Sorry we're out of stock.

Can I interest you in a fat Russian has-been?

[Niall_Quinn]

Sorry we're out of stock.

Can I interest you in a fat Russian has-been?

Go on then, as long as she can cook too.

[LDG]

My team:

Mannone
Jenks Merts Verms Sagan

Tets Wildhair

Theo Cazothlar Arshavin

Giroud


Wengerloon's team

Mannone

Sagan Merts Verms Santos

Arteta Windsock

Ramsby Cazorla Podolski

Giroud

[Kano]

fuck giroud

stick the germ-lish striker in the middle

[IBK]

If we approach this the way we have approached our last 5 games in all comps (other than Reading 2nd half). We will be beaten, and beaten well.

[Ralpheroo72]

This will be another AC Milan away game.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

fuck giroud


Don't let GP see this.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

At what minute of the game will we have our first shot on target?

I'm going for 78 minutes.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

At what minute of the game will we have our first shot on target?


Depends what the target is :coffee:

[GP]

Don't let GP see this.

:shrug:

I don't really care. I just think it's plainly obvious we're a better team him him in the side, provided he gets some service.

[Niall_Quinn]

:shrug:

I don't really care. I just think it's plainly obvious we're a better team him him in the side, provided he gets some service.

Yes but the game plan is to deprive him of service at all costs. So it could be argued we'd be better off with a traffic cone up top, it would be cheaper and would blend better than our horrible purple clown costumes.

[GP]

Yes but the game plan is to deprive him of service at all costs.

I doubt it

[Syn]

Ramsey's 'injured' so won't make the squad.


Vito Mannone
James Shea
Bacary Sagna
Thomas Vermaelen
Mikel Arteta
Johan Djourou
Per Mertesacker
Laurent Koscielny
Jack Wilshere
Olivier Giroud
Santi Cazorla
Andre Santos
Lukas Podolski
Theo Walcott
Andrey Arshavin
Carl Jenkinson
Francis Coquelin
Marouane Chamakh

Willing to bet huge money this will be how we line up:


----------------Mannone----------------

Sagna--Vermaelen--Mertesacker---Santos

-------Coquelin--Arteta--Wilshere--------

-----------------Cazorla----------------

Walcott-----------------Podolski----------

[Niall_Quinn]

I doubt it

Damn, for me that was the only area that we were succeeding in.

Walcott starting? :haha:

[Syn]

Walcott starting? :haha:

I think he's certain to start. He's a mid-week player.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ramsey and Santos + 9 :coffee:

:haha:

Though i suppose its good news.

[LDG]

I think he's certain to start. He's a mid-week player.


Ramsey, who was subbed at Old Trafford after 50 minutes, is understood to have picked up a groin problem, while Theo Walcott, who replaced the Welshman, has travelled but is thought to be suffering from illness.


Little bit tummy ache.

:lol:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Even with santos finally being dropped, I'm still really concerned about the left side of our defence with verm moving there for tonights game esp the way he's been playing (or not) atm coupled with the fact he can't play at LB.

[Marc Overmars]

We'll win this 1-2.

[Letters]

We'll win this 1-2.

Are we sure Santos is dropped ?

[GP]

Santos will play in an RvC shirt.

[Syn]

We'll win this. Coz we're awesome like that.

0-2.

Wilshere (x2)

[Niall_Quinn]

I'll try not watching it, see if we can recapture our fake form from earlier.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

walcott out

mystery stomach bugs :bow:

always seem to affect our players when they're in bad form or contract negotiations :bow:

[Syn]

If that's true, at least it means something new for tonight. The only available options are for Cazorla or Arshavin to play on the right.

[LDG]

If that's true, at least it means something new for tonight. The only available options are for Cazorla or Arshavin to play on the right.

Or if you're Wenger; We have Giroud who can play there.

[Alpha]

Manone



Sagna Metersacker Koscielny TV5

Arteta Coquelin
Wilshere

Walcott Cazorla

Giroud







This line-up could give Schalke food for thought . I believe it is the best we got ATM . Time to drop Podolski and let him come from the bench . He looks a bit jaded due to hard work helping out shitty left backs . Cazorla can operate anywhere across the midfield , with Jack back , we can try him on the left wing . Coquelin has shown some maturity and improvement down the middle . He can do the anchorman without a problem . I watched him vs Man U , he didn't put his foot wrong . Santos should be simply dropped as he will be short of confidence following his late shaky display and his shirt swap saga.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

hopefully santos starts, breaks his leg inside 5 minutes then has to go off. TV shifts to LB and kos comes on as CB.

alpha's starting 11 looks pretty decent. maybe arshavin in for cazorla who looks exhausted already.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Santos dropped and Theo and Giroud both start.


BREAKING: Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Olivier Giroud all start for Arsenal in againsy Schalke. Laurent Koscielny comes in for Andre Santos in defence, with Thomas Vermaelen switching to left-ba

[Syn]

Oooh, On Paper football :bow:

Arsenal: Mannone - Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Arteta - Wilshere - Cazorla - Podolski - Walcott - Giroud


And a ridiculously shit bench.
Subs: Shea, Santos, Djourou, Jenkinson, Coquelin, Arshavin, Chamakh

[Ollie the Optimist]

so santos dropped, vermaelen to left back with kos into centre back.

wrong decision imo, should have dropped vermaelen and santos, played both sagna and jenkinson as full backs. vermaelen is horribly out of form, moving him to left back is likely to increase his already high error rate.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Fucking yes. Theo wins. Now get us into the knockouts before you bugger off xxx

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Nah he'll be fine on the left.

[Marc Overmars]

Well done to Wenget for being pro-active and taking Santos out.

[Niall_Quinn]

wrong decision imo, should have dropped vermaelen and santos, played both sagna and jenkinson as full backs. vermaelen is horribly out of form, moving him to left back is likely to increase his already high error rate.

Can't possibly be as bad as Santos, nobody can. So it's an improvement. TV dropped and Jenks in was the no-brainer, but with TV being the captain we're a bit fucked. Quite surprised Wenger hasn't tried to get the game postponed in light of Ramsey being unavailable.

[Master Splinter]

Yeah Vermaelen was not particularly good at left-back last season. Should have bought Vertonghen. Spurs got one over us.

GHELkinson has been our best player this season (along with Arteta). WUMger obviously has form with this. Cashley and Dido's shoulder to cry on straight into the team after Flamini and Senderos had got us to the CL final. Players in form should never be dropped, especially in important games.

And at least stick Segrio Gnabry or Eisfeld on the bench to offer something different. The current one might as well feature Primorac and Patrice.

Time for Coyle.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Sky are showing highlights of the home game :sick: :ilt:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Walcott's little tummy cleared up then.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Vermaelen at LB! :ilt:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

wenger getting slated by the pannel for his tactics and rightly so.

:gp:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

God this pre match talk is depressing :(

[Power n Glory]

wenger getting slated by the pannel for his tactics and rightly so.

Hoddle played under Wenger and said Arsene never taught the team to press the opposition.

[Marc Overmars]

Huntelaar. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oooh, On Paper football :bow:

Arsenal: Mannone - Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Arteta - Wilshere - Cazorla - Podolski - Walcott - Giroud


And a ridiculously shit bench.
Subs: Shea, Santos, Djourou, Jenkinson, Coquelin, Arshavin, Chamakh

Schalke 04: Unnerstall, Uchida, Howedes, Matip, Fuchs, Jones, Neustadter, Farfan, Holtby, Afellay, Huntelaar.
Subs: Hildebrand, Marica, Hoger, Papadopoulos, Moritz, Draxler, Kolasinac.

Referee: Nicola Rizzoli (Italy)

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Hoddle played under Wenger and said Arsene never taught the team to press the opposition.

And it's an area where every Arsenal team we've seen has been exposed.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

God this pre match talk is depressing :(

So's your face :coffee:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

"All Arsenal fans still say in Arsene we trsut"

Sorry not true for me anymore.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

So's your face :coffee:

The truth hurts you know. :(

[GP]

Hoddle played under Wenger and said Arsene never taught the team to press the opposition.

He also said disabled people were being punished for sins in a past life.

[Power n Glory]

He also said disabled people were being punished for sins in a past life.

Yeah, sorry mate.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

The handbrake gets mentioned in the Arsene interview. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

The truth hurts you know. :(

:hug:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

He also said disabled people were being punished for sins in a past life.

:haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Thomas Einstein should definitely be getting in more first team squads these days. That said, he did play (and play well) yesterday for the u21s. Gnabry didn't though. No real need for so many defenders (Coquelin also can as well play there).

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Nobody in the CL have had less than our 12 shots on target. :lol:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Oh it's the highlights again. :ilt:

[GP]

Turn it off then, you lunatic!

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Turn it off then, you lunatic!

I'm sitting on the remote and I don't wanna move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

I'm sitting on the remote and I don't wanna move.

Are you ILT? There were substantiated rumours that he was fat and lazy.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Please Arsenal get an early goal :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Uchida was in, poor lofted ball though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shoot Theo!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Poor from walcott.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuchs shot, deflected way wide.

Quite a good counterattack.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Schalke player fuchs it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair. :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

cazorla gives it away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bill Leslie must've forgotten we conceded first against Monty. :lol:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It looks like one the the badges on our shirt is for Greggs lol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Afellay running at our defence, shoots, Mannone saves.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Typical start from us.

[Maestro]

vicious save by vito

[Xhaka Can’t]

He also said disabled people were being punished for sins in a past life.

Tbh I reckon I was a pretty bad bastard.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Verm looks like he's struggling already at LB.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoewedes header, just over.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Great marking for the corner there :rolleyes:

[Fats]

We look toothless

[Xhaka Can’t]

We look toothless

Which match thread did you mean to post this in?

[Maestro]

poor defending

if you play zonal then at least get to the ball first ...don't just stand there and watch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Uchida. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On comes the coat. :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Have we just bought statues and stuck them in the penalty area as a defence, there's no movement at all.

Verm gets done, he's shite.

[Maestro]

penguin suit on

we are losing this

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Nice play by Jack.

[Globalgunner]

Vermaelen is getting burned at LB. Its going to be a long evening for him, i`m afraid

[Maestro]

oh shit ...did anyone else that ticker tape?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Feooooooooooo!!!!

[GP]

Sweet

[Letters]

:lol:

They did their best to cock that up!

[Maestro]

sign da tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggggg

[Power n Glory]

Well done Theo. Giroud has no pace!

[Dennis Bendtner]

:bow:

A must stay.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Also, Shitty :haha:

[Maestro]

:lol:

They did their best to cock that up!



:doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Theo.

[Fats]

Booooooaaaaaaaalll!!! Walcott, your not a striker but we don't care!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

They did their best to cock that up!

Your face?

No, they succeeded.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla booked.

[Maestro]

is everyone else in germany, so quiet on here

.....fear of a win driving people away?

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We needed an early goal :)

[Dennis Bendtner]

Good save by Cazorla.

[GP]

Booooooaaaaaaaalll!!! Walcott, your not a striker but we don't care!!!!!!!

Yeah it was a much needed boal.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We needed an early goal :)

:gp:

[Maestro]

kos

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yeah it was a much needed boal.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nothing came of Wilshere's horrible touch there, thankfully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah it was a much needed boal.

New meme for GW. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Theo is a little bit awesome

Giroud is fucking shite though. That should have been his goal. He was literally 10 yards ahead of the defender

Thank fuck for Theo

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Nothing came of Wilshere's horrible touch there, thankfully.

Would've been a beautiful lay off at the other end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good work Sajma.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matip booked.

Wheelchair and Cazorla. :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Shite tackle on cathorla, worthy of a yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Uchida off injured, Hoeger on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!!!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Girouddddddddddd

[GP]

GIROUD!!

What a player, what a boal!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Booooooaaaaaaaalll!!!

[Master Splinter]

Gorgeous goal.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! !!!!!!!!!!!

This is what we need!!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

GIROUD!!

What a player, what a boal!

He does score some headers tbh.

[Dennis Bendtner]

That's what he's good at. The sexy fuck.

[Maestro]

cross and header

traditional top boal ....top top boal

[Cripps_orig]

We finally play to Girouds strengths

[GP]

That's what he's good at. The sexy fuck.

Feed the sexy prick and he will score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leslie. :doh:

We weren't 0-2 against Monty! :banghead:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Nice hoal (a headed boal)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Afellay hobbling.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud is fucking shite though.

:gp:

Best in the world at what you do.

[Maestro]

Nice hoal (a headed boal)

hoal? ...you can't just change it already, we've all settled on boal

[LDG]

Wenger :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud is down.

[Niall_Quinn]

So then, I have just switched on. How are we doing? Any truth to the rumour that when I don't watch we win?

[Syn]

I make that 3 times (each) now that Walcott and Podolski have given the ball away not even in their final 1/3. They're only able to counter when possession is handed over.

Good work by both for the goals though.

[Cripps_orig]

:gp:

Best in the world at what you do.

Selective quoting

Impressive

Letters has rubbed his cock on you well

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Sexy is back up again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Big Sexy is back up again.

Yep, I'm here. Better late than never.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Big Sexy is back up again.

Is the HFB that handsome?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud hoping for a wonderpass from Wilshere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG's positional play. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Merts :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Not clearing the ball well.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're never short of a shit LB at this club.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Giroud is pretty crap in posession.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Farfan just wide.

FFS Vermaelen.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Vermalen is fucking awful!

[Letters]

Wenger :bow:
:haha:

This is weird.

:dance:

[GP]

Luckily Farfan isn't very good.

[Maestro]

So then, I have just switched on. How are we doing? Any truth to the rumour that when I don't watch we win?

can you get off the board before we concede a boal, come back after the game tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuchs booked.

Shocker of a tackle.

[Dennis Bendtner]

This Fuchs guy is a clown.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud header, easily saved.

Great delivery though.

[Maestro]

BFG's positional play. :bow:


+1 that

[Niall_Quinn]

can you get off the board before we concede a boal, come back after the game tbh

Yep, sure thing. I'm off to curse shitty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoeger booked. Will be very surprised if they don't get someone sent off.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Need a good cross for this FK

[Maestro]

Yep, sure thing. I'm off to curse shitty.

so winning this now

[Gervinho's Forehead]

I worried Wenger will think we need new brake pads at half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was the time for Theo just to steam through. Brilliantly taken down to start with though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[Dennis Bendtner]

I can't tell if Grant Holtby is any good or not?

[LDG]

I worried Wenger will think we need new brake pads at half time.

:lol:

Little bit too much oil in engine

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Huntelaar. Fuck.

[Letters]

Here we go :rolleyes:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Fucking awful defending.

[Master Splinter]

Catzola :doh:.

[Dennis Bendtner]

£11.5m scores.

[Power n Glory]

Exactly what we didn't need.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 HT.

[Letters]

And again. AGAIN. Stupid STUPID goal to concede. No danger, just a stupid slip and next thing we know it's in the net.
When will we EVER learn?!

:doh:

[Maestro]

:faint:


NQ ...fuckin see what you done?

[Özim]

Just come back from gym and though wow we're doing OK, then the player we should have signed scored!

Wish we'd signed him instead of Eduardo!

[Cripps_orig]

Excellent finish

Hes out of contract this summer

Swap with Giroud tbh

[Gervinho's Forehead]

And again. AGAIN. Stupid STUPID goal to concede. No danger, just a stupid slip and next thing we know it's in the net.
When will we EVER learn?!

:doh:

:gp:

SAME SHIT ALL THE TIME!!! :banghead:

[Injury Time]

And again. AGAIN. Stupid STUPID goal to concede. No danger, just a stupid slip and next thing we know it's in the net.
When will we EVER learn?!

:doh:
Are you new here?

[Syn]

Mertesacker was nowhere. But tbf to him you don't expect Cazorla to lose the ball in your own half.

[LDG]

Wenger out!

[Marc Overmars]

Nice open game, suits us down to a tee.

Shit time to concede but we should get chances here.

[Niall_Quinn]

so winning this now

FFS! It's you.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

And again. AGAIN. Stupid STUPID goal to concede. No danger, just a stupid slip and next thing we know it's in the net.
When will we EVER learn?!

:doh:

Pretty much.

Least these lot they have work to do in the 2nd half.

[Fats]

Lanky streak of piss has a lot about his game but marking ain't one of them, completely lost his man there. Typical loss of concentration, tis ok though, still get wages paid.

[Özim]

Huntelaar is the kind of player we should be signing, players of his finishing ability don't grow on trees. No doubt we'll sit back and watch as someone else snaps him up.

[Maestro]

And again. AGAIN. Stupid STUPID goal to concede. No danger, just a stupid slip and next thing we know it's in the net.
When will we EVER learn?!

:doh:

nothing to do with that Letters. NQ rears his head on here unexpectedly and boom we concede a boal

was doing well....and now Zimm is back from the gym, Cripps is back on and Wenget has the penguin suit on ....not looking very promising anymore

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Huntelaar is the kind of player we should be signing, players of his finishing ability don't grow on trees. No doubt we'll sit back and watch as someone else snaps him up.

Nah rather we got BA, younger and much better and knows the league.

[RomfordPele]

That goal is the difference between at least getting a point at FT to now being in line to lose this game.

[Dennis Bendtner]

There is no way of unlearning falloveratarandommomentitis. Cazorla is cursed like those before him :rose:

[Maestro]

Huntelaar is the kind of player we should be signing, players of his finishing ability don't grow on trees. No doubt we'll sit back and watch as someone else snaps him up.

Liverpool or Spuds, sadly. Contract is up end of the season me thinks and can be picked up for no more than 10 mil

[Marc Overmars]

Also credit to Theo for running with Giroud because the Frenchman fucked that right up. Stick to the headers and tap-ins you sexy fuck.

Spuds were linked with him today. We know that pool need a striker is whether he'd want to go there. If he is on a free then i guess a few clubs would be after him.

Sagna was absolutely incredible in that half btw. Those charging headers...nobody else - I don't care who it is - has a chance. It's almost reckless flying in at 100mph like that. Mannone is doing what Szczesny did all last season - hoofing out to the right and Sagna is guaranteed to win that header.

:gp:

He is a sexy fuck.

Mertesacker was nowhere. But tbf to him you don't expect Cazorla to lose the ball in your own half.

Agreed, but these things happen. the problem is we are always slow to react. Our midfielders will not try and tackle to snuff out the attack, our defence will always panick and hey presto. Despite Bould our defending is still ctap.

what other teams do is to commit a foul well ahead of play to break up the momentum. we just wait and hope for the best.

We need a yeomans effort in the second half cos schalke will be really up for it now.

spaces will open up as they press for the equaliser, walcott needs to be stronger when the ball comes to him and move the ball quicker on to giroud.

Huntelaar :lol:

Flopped hard at Real and AC.

Pretty much.

[V-Pig]

Still think Theo's quite far behind the rest of the team when it comes to his passing play.

So maybe he does belong up front, for his much-improved finishing, instinctive runs and pace on the rebound.

[V-Pig]

Can't remember the last time I made a serious football-related post.

Boobies.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Oh Fuck off TV5!

loses the ball YET again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gah should've done better there Giroud.

[Cripps_orig]

Giroud :lol:

We need Huntelaar asap

[Maestro]

technically decent crossing from the Gerpolish

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

such crap clearances.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

WTF was that giroud?

[Maestro]

must do better giroud

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone denies Huntelaar!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Jesus. :doh:

[Maestro]

vicious vito

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Huntelaar was offside there anyway wasn't he? Not that it matters now.

[Fats]

Giroud is fucking shit!!! Found his level last week against Reading. Not a quality player. Another Wenger great signing FFS
