[Gervinho's Forehead]

This one has got reading win written all over it.

[PGFC]

We'll be 4-0 up by half time...

[Letters]

Definitely not watching.
Someone tell me how badly we lose by after.

Fanx.

[Niall_Quinn]

I care as much as the players care about this game.

[Marc Overmars]

Won't be watching, I'll be out hitting up the Austrian apres-ski scene.

Arsenal. :lol:

Bye.

I remember the days, when Gooners Knew we could win games, how the mighty have fallen.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'll be in Melbourne, and sadly, that isn't even far enough from the clusterfuckfest this game will be.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

How long you gone for ?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Not long enough - 3 weeks.

[GP]

0-3

[The Wengerbabies]

Not long enough - 3 weeks.

I could never do Christmas in a warm climate. Its just wrong tbh.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

0-3

Yeah we know how many weeks GB is off for, now for the score line please.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I could never do Christmas in a warm climate. Its just wrong tbh.

Yet you live in the UK which looks as Christmassy as something that just isn't Christmassy at all - like a water mains leak.

[The Wengerbabies]

Yet you live in the UK which looks as Christmassy as something that just isn't Christmassy at all - like a water mains leak.

Its not necessarily the snow, but the cold, the long dark nights etc. most of the winter its a bit shit but for the 2 weeks around Christmas its perfect.

Though a proper white Christmas would be awesome.

[Ralpheroo72]

There is a great Melbourne Arsenal supporters club there, all Arsenal games are on live at the Celtic Club on Queen St, you should check it out.

[Ralpheroo72]

PS Reading 2 Arsenal 0 - It will not be an embarassing defeat

[Kano]

double edged sword this one. a very good chance to get 3 points and move on from the shambles of last night but wenger and the team get off lightly with our very loyal and superb away support here.

[GP]

The away support are starting to turn on him now.

There's no way back.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Melbourne will have a white Christmas before I end up there.

[Xhaka Can’t]

There's no way back.

If you drop peanut M&Ms as you walk, there is always a way back.

[GP]

Hmm, interesting.

Will Reece's Pieces work?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Hmm, interesting.

Will Reece's Pieces work?

Nah, Reece's Pieces are renowned for their laziness.

[GP]

I had no idea they were Mexican.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Racist.

[GP]

I do refuse to eat the brown ones, to be fair.

[Xhaka Can’t]

That doesn't sound fair at all.

[GP]

If they don't like it, they can piss off back where they came from.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

If they don't like it, they can piss off back where they came from.

Well i don't like yours much.

[Grebbo]

Reading are due a win and this team usually helps out teams struggling for a win.

1-0

[Özil's Panoramic View]

No fucking way we're winning this.

Bloody dire when Cripps can no longer do a pre-game 'We have Wenger' analysis and Wenger hasn't resigned yet.

4-1

[fakeyank]

Not long enough - 3 weeks.

Ahh! I am gonna be in Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane mid Jan to end of Jan for some stupid leadership conference! Guess you wont be there till then! :p

[Joker]

1-3 Reading

[Japan Shaking All Over]

If I didnt know you better I'd respond to that. . .Arsenal win

[Marc Overmars]

Reading are quite poor. Matt Lucas doesn't have enough ****ishness about him to keep them up.

Should be win but then we've said that about plenty of other fixtures.

[Kano]

if we can somehow avoid going down 4-0 by the half hour mark, we should win this.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

1-3 Reading

You mean 3-1 reading.

[Joker]

You mean 3-1 reading.

[Cripps_orig]

Reading v Arsenal (20:00 GMT)

This won't be a repeat of the 7-5 Arsenal win we saw when these two sides met in the Capital One Cup, or at least I wouldn't have thought so.

Gervinho struggled up front for Arsenal as they crashed out of the Capital One Cup.
I was at Valley Parade on Tuesday to watch Bradford knock the Gunners out of that competition and the most telling thing about the way Arsene Wenger's men played was that it took them 60-odd minutes to force Bantams keeper Matt Duke into a save.
In other areas of their play, Arsenal were not actually all that that bad. The movement and the passing from the back through the middle was really good but it is just the final ball they are missing at the moment.
Their crossing was poor all night and Gervinho looked like he did not want to be there.
I don't think Wenger needs to perform major surgery on his side but they need a fulcrum in their team - somebody up front they can play up to and through.


"Arsene Wenger has earned the right to be given a go at improving his team in the transfer market when the window opens in January. He needs a couple of players and, if he needs to pay over the odds to get them, then he has to do it. It's January, and that's what happens. It might go against Wenger's principles but it is worth it if those two new players help to get them in the Champions League next season. What he needs more than anything, though, are characters because I don't think he's got enough in his team at the moment."

Against Bradford they also needed somebody who would grab hold of them and say 'we need to fight for this and earn the right to play the way we can'.
For the first part of that problem they obviously miss Robin van Persie, who is an absolute class player. Of course him going to Manchester United in the summer was a blow.
But, in terms of a midfield presence, the departure of Alex Song to Barcelona in the summer has left a big hole. Song was unspectacular but good at what he did, and he gave their creative players a platform.
Reading will look to cause them more problems. They did not really turn up against Sunderland in midweek, which was most unusual because they have always been competitive this season, and very rarely have they been as easily turned over.
Wenger seriously needs a positive result and I think he will get one. The win will not come without a fight, though.
Prediction: 0-2

Lawro going for the shock :popcorn:

[Özim]

My prediction is Reading are sh*t so we'll win this easily enough and everything will be OK again.

[fakeyank]

Its an away game so that reduces our chances by 48%. 2% short of 50%

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

If Giroud and Koscielny start and Ramsey, Vermaelen and Gervinho don't, this is an away win.

Have the Koscielny-Mertesacker partnership lost a match this season?

Hopefully, it's:

Szczesny

Sagan
BFG
Koscielny
Gibbs

Arteta
Wolfbear
Rosicky

Oxo
Giroud
Cheatzorla

[Keith]

Last time we played them on a Monday, Senderos scored.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:lol: mondays

awful day.

[Letters]

If we win (:lol: I know, but you never know) we'll be in position for the 5th Place Trophy :dance:
Only 2 points off the coveted 4th Place Trophy.

FFS shhhhhh you know our lot can't handle such pressure, the thought of the parade...of being pelted with adoration from the three "true" Gooners left, the prestige of being on Channel 5*, I mean what more could a top top quality player dream of? :cloud9:

No Ramsey?

[Niall_Quinn]

They wouldn't dare lose this or even dare take less than 3 points.

Arsenal, on the other hand.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

There's some pretty good odds for jason roberts scroing tonight, 9/1 to be first goal scorer. 11/4 to score anytime.

[Kano]

I'm feeling confident about this one tonight.

1-1.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

There's some pretty good odds for jason roberts scroing tonight, 9/1 to be first goal scorer. 11/4 to score anytime.

How much for a hatrick?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on in a minute.

[Maestro]

they don't win tonight and it's defcon 1. will be waiting for that coach at the emirates tonight

[GP]

How much for a hatrick?

3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Based on the team set-up Neville has on his screen.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Gibbs, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Sagna, Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla, Oxocube, Poldi, Theo.

[Syn]

That's full strength for me.

[GP]

Not without Gee-Rood it isn't.

No Ramsey Or Gevais :bow:

[selassie]

That's full strength for me.

The sad thing is we'll still probably lose!

[Cripps_orig]

Best front 3 we have? Hoping Ox pulls his finger out. He's had a bot of a shocking season so far. Theo or Pod upfront? Either is better than No Movement Giroud. SJW and Cazorla have their work cut out in midfield with being creative and defensively as Arteta will be the same as usual. Strongest back 5 as well. Theo playing is the clincher though. We are doing this

[Maestro]

No Ramsey Or Gevais :bow:


just increased our chances of at least picking up a point ...tenfold, even though that does'nt mean much

Gary Neville's love for Stoke is sickening.

More talk about tonight's match after the break, thankfully.

Still got verm playing though. :(

True indeed. I hope Rosicky gets a run out if things don't click in the middle. I think he's vital to our squad and turned our season around last year when he started getting games.

[gunnerrrrr]

im actually excited about this front three...at last Wenger manages again....thank you!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Is this walcotts best chance to put himself in the shop window tonight?

Too slow.

[Cripps_orig]

No width there :doh:

Arteta has given the ball away yet again

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Confetti and pom poms out :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent effort from Cazorla.

[Cripps_orig]

Any truth to the rumour Gibbs will be fined for crossing the ball for the goal?

Cazorla with another shot off target

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good block from BFG.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is this walcotts best chance to put himself in the shop window tonight?

What a shifty shop window.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi puts this one wide.

Good pass from Cazorla to Gibbs.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

reading are dreadful.

We ae playing well

Looks like we might draw this

All together now...

Theo :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

That is how you deliver a cross!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

CAZORLA!!!!!

[Syn]

Vermaelen has been outstanding so far. Won a few very important battles.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Yay. Another cross!

[fakeyank]

Where have this Arsenal been all season? Or is Reading too shit?!

[Cripps_orig]

0-3

Cazorla

Very easy

[Globalgunner]

CAZORLA?
I was just about to post 3-0 by HT and these muppets wont dare come out for the 2nd half. now lets give em 5. COYG

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This is murder. We have player since Liverpool!

Sure is.

Where have this Arsenal been all season? Or is Reading too shit?!

You must be happy to see non boring footie for once lol's

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McAnuff booked.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo has been great with no reward.

Surely our first choice striker

His movement is superb

Giroud is Plan B

[Olivier's xmas twist]

different class this team when the best players play....aka not Giroud, Ramsey, Gervhio

2nd half hatrick for Giroud tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere having a good tug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :bow:

[Power n Glory]

This is champaign football!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

This is better, but it's gonna take a lot more to convince me.

[Cripps_orig]

Keep the clean sheet

[Globalgunner]

This is surely too good to be true. I can see Wengit replacing Cazorla with Ramsey in the second half to even things up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reading fans. :lol:

[gunnerrrrr]

This is better, but it's gonna take a lot more to convince me.

The main thing is Wenger sees this and accepts that Ramsey and co stay on the bench

[Cripps_orig]

This is better, but it's gonna take a lot more to convince me.

This.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federici saves from Oxocube, superb cross from Sagna.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This is champaign football!

Tbf as good as it is. we are play Reading, who most likely will be going down. Been good to watch, need to do it more often.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

The main thing is Wenger sees this and accepts that Ramsey and co stay on the bench

It's definitely a start.

[Cripps_orig]

Ox header saved

Another cross

[Olivier's xmas twist]

So were crossing balls, Giroud hatrick in the 2nd half tbh.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Doing our best to gift them a goal :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reading 0-3 Arsenal, FT.

Arsenal. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Good half by the boys, don't change a thing.

[Maestro]

Really enjoyed that half and by far our first eleven on the pitch

organised and hardworking for a change

[Cripps_orig]

0-3 HT

Good performance

This has to be our first team from now on

Maybe Rosicky for Arteta

[Power n Glory]

Tbf as good as it is. we are play Reading, who most likely will be going down. Been good to watch, need to do it more often.

Don't discredit the performance based on the opposition after we just lost to Bradford City! Nobody expected this response from the team.

[Maestro]

The main thing is Wenger sees this and accepts that Ramsey and co stay on the bench

just remember who our manager is

..time to re-up

[GP]

Awesome.

Could be even more with a proper striker through the middle, but this has been fantastic.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Reading 0-3 Arsenal, FT.

Arsenal. :bow:

HT :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

I dont expect many good times this season for us so when we do get some and today is one, i will enjoy it

Yes we are a bit shit and 4th is gone but thats a matter for another day

[GP]

0-3

:bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Another performance built on the back of passing to our own players. We should try this every match.

[Syn]

Cracking half. Pretty much everyone has had a good half. Shame Walcott fluffed that chance because we could be looking at a proper goal-diff boosting win.

This front three look much better - we should try to stick with Walcott, Oxlade and Podolski up front. There's a lot more movement and pace.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

I dont expect many good times this season for us so when we do get some and today is one, i will enjoy it

Yes we are a bit shit and 4th is gone but thats a matter for another day

Could do with getting a massive score here like 0-8

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is thereon person on this board that reckons it would be 0-3 if Ramsey started?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Don't discredit the performance based on the opposition after we just lost to Bradford City! Nobody expected this response from the team.

Im not discrediting anything. I said its been good to watch, but we need to do it more often. Its great to see the team looking so great.

[Cripps_orig]

Is thereon person on this board that reckons it would be 0-3 if Ramsey started?

3-0 maybe

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Is thereon person on this board that reckons it would be 0-3 if Ramsey started?

:tumbleweed:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Is thereon person on this board that reckons it would be 0-3 if Ramsey started?

thereon person, that an Alien?

[Cripps_orig]

Could do with getting a massive score here like 0-8

No chance of us for a clean sheet

[Joker]

Good performance so far, with Walcott up front we look much more fluid in attacking positions, and consequently more unpredictable. Having the option of putting Theo in behind the defence on the counter also helps relieve pressure when the opposition's pushing us back. Hope with stick with this formation over the Christmas period.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Could do with getting a massive score here like 0-8

Yep, get that goal diffrence up.

[selassie]

Very good first half, good to see the boys playing at a high level. More of the same purrrrrrlease!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

No chance of us for a clean sheet

No I guess not, you saw at the end how easy we made it for them to nearly score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HT :lol:

Ah bollocks, I've fucked it up for us now.

:rose:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Awesome.

Could be even more with a proper striker through the middle, but this has been fantastic.

Giroud for Ox ?

[Niall_Quinn]

No Gervinho and no Ramsey, please leave them off the pitch so we can build on this.

[LDG]

I should not watch Arsenal more often :o

[fakeyank]

Sure is.


You must be happy to see non boring footie for once lol's

For real, my friend! I am so happy my eyes have not shut down in the first 15 minutes!

[Maestro]

Is thereon person on this board that reckons it would be 0-3 if Ramsey started?

no fuckin chance

[GP]

Giroud for Ox ?

Dunno.

Stick with it as it is for now.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

0-3 HT

Good performance

This has to be our first team from now on

Maybe Rosicky for Arteta

Tell Theo to sign da ting, otherwise it won't be for much longer.

[GP]

Also, Santiago is a tremendous player.

Yeah its been fab to watch, none of that slow crap, players actually giving a shit, a manager not starting shite players. Who knew this was possible.

[Power n Glory]

Cracking half. Pretty much everyone has had a good half. Shame Walcott fluffed that chance because we could be looking at a proper goal-diff boosting win.

This front three look much better - we should try to stick with Walcott, Oxlade and Podolski up front. There's a lot more movement and pace.

We need to stick with the pace. Could have been some classic counter attacking goals scored tonight too. The movement has been brilliant.

Tell Wenger/the board to give him what he wants.

:scarf:

stop playing with yourself

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It was really pathetic how tyler announced the goals, you could hear the disappointment in his voice and as for NQ he's so mono tone he's unreal.

2nd half.

AND IT'S LIVE!

[Niall_Quinn]

It was really pathetic how tyler announced the goals, you could hear the disappointment in his voice and as for NQ he's so mono tone he's unreal.

We're fucking up their crisis headlines.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We're fucking up their crisis headlines.

Pretty much.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We really need to rack up the goals tonight!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Literally anything can happen in this half.

Oxocube goes for glory early on.

[GP]

Love how direct Ox is.

:haha:

Are you suprised though.

[Maestro]

other than gibbs, do we actually have another left back at the club?

[Master Splinter]

Podolski linking well with Gibbs and Carpthorla, as he did earlier in the season. When there's space, he looks brilliant. Against better teams or packed defences, he should probably only play if he's up front.

Oxlade has been getting better each week. Dropped for Ramsey against Wigan then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sajma. :bow:
