Arsenal v Newcastle 17:30 29/12/12 ESPN

[Cripps_orig]

Going to this :(

We have won 3 in a row. 2 clean sheets in that.

Theo finally upfront

Injured players seem to be coming back

We'll win this comfortably imo

[milla]

100% fit Ramsey + 10, away win for Barcodes. Wumger :bow:

[Joker]

Newcastle are in dreadful form at the moment, 2-1 Arsenal.

[Cripps_orig]

They won today tbh and Pardew has the psychological edge over Wenger ever since he made him cry a few years back

[Olivier's xmas twist]

They won today tbh and Pardew has the psychological edge over Wenger ever since he made him cry a few years back

Its ok Ba will score 2 OG's tbh. Has to impress his new employers somehow.

[Özim]

Newcastle have been awful for the last few months, we should win this easily.

We've been kinda lucky with our games recently, bottom of the table Reading, West Brom when they started losing games and now Newcastle who have been terrible this season.

[Cripps_orig]

Have to be home by 8pm as im going to play football. Match will finish around 7.15pm

Need to beat the rush. Hoping we play shit so i have a reason to leave early

[Özil's Panoramic View]

As shit as Barcodes are, I'm dreading this game. Ba and Cisse are both pacy attackers, you know, the type that we have trouble defending against.

Plus I'm not sure if we'll get a pel or two this game. And we're also at home.

Add that to the possibility of Wengbot starting Ramsey, Gervinho and Giroud; or any one or two of the lot. He is due an 'I'll prove you all wrong'.

0-3.

[Letters]

0-3.
Nah.

We have a week off, they play mancs on boxing day. We should be ok.

[GP]

3-0

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Nah.

Ok, 1-3 then.

[Cripps_orig]

Ok, 1-3 then.

We'll only get the 1 if we get a penalty tbh

Although i am going to this game and last game i went to was Fulham when Arteta choked one in the last minute. ****

:pray:

Been a minute now since we had one of your erudite post match analysis.

[Cripps_orig]

:pray:

Been a minute now since we had one of your erudite post match analysis.
And a long minute its been as well

[Gervinho's Forehead]

on the latest updates…
We should not have any new injuries from our last game. Giroud and Rosicky should be available again. They were sick at Wigan

:ilt:

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal v Newcastle (17:30 GMT)

Newcastle were down to the bare bones for their trip to Old Trafford and almost had no choice but to go and attack Manchester United with the players they had.
It almost paid off too but, for me, the question is how much did it take out of them ahead of their trip to the Emirates? I would suspect the answer is quite a lot.

Newcastle failed to beat Manchester United despite taking the lead three times at Old Trafford
Arsenal, in contrast, had Boxing Day off.
The Gunners are going for a third League win in a row and it probably won't be long until their fans start saying Arsene Wenger is a genius again.
Wenger is in and out of favour with Arsenal all the time but I would always back them to make the top four. Even when they are on a bad run I back them again because they always come back.
That is just what Wenger does and, if you look at the quality of his squad compared to the rest of the division, then, even if it is not as good as the top three clubs, then it is certainly better than all the others.
So them making the top four is almost a no-brainer.
Prediction: 2-0

Lawro :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

win....roll on Saints, going to that :cold:

[Cripps_orig]

win....roll on Saints, going to that :cold:

:pal:

[TheClockEnd]

I'm going for a 2-1 to Arsenal.

as mentioned before, Ba & Cisse can hurt any team on their day, and clean sheets aren't really our forte.

Giroud coming back can only help though. Interesting to see who starts upfront now.

Agreed about Giroud, we're clearly better up front with him in the side, but surprisingly we have 7 clean sheets, 3rd highest after Stoke (9) and Chelsea (8)

[Marc Overmars]

I'll go for a 2-1 win as well.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

:haha:

:haha:

[Syn]

Feicking jordi meat!! You are getting feicked!! DO you even know?!! I am going to feick you in Rhode Island and then I open a bottle of Merrloe to celibrate!!!

[GP]

Drunk Syn :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

:haha:

Pretty much

We have been average at best with him up top

With Theo, we look far better

[Injury Time]

They will be tired "we will lack sharpness due to the break" and will be a squeaky bum match 2 down at half time, Chak on at 69mins to save the day (for Toon), 1-2 loss and wave goodbye to Theo

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

did this humiliation have to be the late kick off in front of the nation?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think you overrate ESPN's popularity.

[Syn]

We'll win. 2 1 2 z'arsenal.

Santiago Cathorla and Lukash Podolshki with z'goals.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We'll win. 2 1 2 z'arsenal.

Santiago Cathorla and Lukash Podolshki with z'goals.

Are you drunk again?

Don't forget to mention the kos OG.

[Cripps_orig]

Are you drunk again?

Don't forget to mention the kos OG.
Is it wrong that im more scared of the thought of Kos playing than him scoring an OG?

:ilt:

[Cripps_orig]

Im not going to this :bow:

My brother whos going travelling for a year in a couple of weeks wants this to be his last game before he goes so i let him go

[Ollie the Optimist]

hope its not like last year, that was tense (but the end was amazing, nothing beats a late winner) however, would prefer an easy 3-0.

we should win this, lets hope we put in a good performance.


COME ON ARSENAL

[GP]

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott.

Pretty much full strength, apart from Giroud.

[Marc Overmars]

Where is Giroud?

Not really kept tabs on the goings on in recent weeks.

[Cripps_orig]

Where is Giroud?

Not really kept tabs on the goings on in recent weeks.Dropped for being a bit shit

Theo has been excellent upfront in the last 2 games

[Syn]

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott.

I'm liking that. We're playing a good side too so hopefully should be a good game.

[GP]

Where is Giroud?

Not really kept tabs on the goings on in recent weeks.

Just back from injury.

[Marc Overmars]

Dropped for being a bit shit

Theo has been excellent upfront in the last 2 games

I heard Feo played up front but I've literally not seen anything of the Reading and Wigan games, apart from Cheatzola's hatty.

Looking forward to this one.

[Marc Overmars]

4 English players starting a league game for us.

Arsenal. :lol:

Ruining English football.

[GP]

I heard Feo played up front but I've literally not seen anything of the Reading and Wigan games, apart from Cheatzola's hatty.

Looking forward to this one.

He did alright against (a massively shit) Reading but was anonymous against Wigan.

[Cripps_orig]

I heard Feo played up front but I've literally not seen anything of the Reading and Wigan games, apart from Cheatzola's hatty.

Looking forward to this one.
His movement v Reading was top class.

Bit harder v Wigan but he never let up and won the penalty.

2 games up front, goal and won a penalty. Job done id say

Giroud :wave:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Cripps could make top dollar/pound in marketing. I sincerely hope that's the field he's in.

[Master Splinter]

To make sure MO gets an honest, non-infantile response to his innocent question, Giroud has been injured and he and Rosicky were then ill so missed the Wigan game.

Walcott and the whole team were good against a poor Reading team.

Walcott and the whole team were sloppy and mostly unproductive against a hard-working Wigan side but we did enough as a team to scrape a win.

Where the fuck is Mert?

Ba to have a field day v Kos

Thank fuck i didnt go to this

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norovirus has taken out BFG. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

That's almost exactly what I said.

Never said you did not.

[GP]

Never said you did not.

[Marc Overmars]

Verm/Kos partnership of death. :rose:

Or that should really read, any pairing of Arsenal sweepers partnership of death.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

giroud's Arsenal career is over :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How many English players are in Alan 'Made in England' Pardew's team?

[Cripps_orig]

giroud's Arsenal career is over :haha:

Lets hope

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Lets hope

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

I bet newcastle will look more energetic than us even though we haven't played over Christmas.

[AKBapologist]

Anyone got a stream link?

[GP]

Lets fuck these sluts

[milla]

Newcastle, wee club from north east. :haha:

[GP]

Come on Arzel :waddle:

[Joker]

Newcastle only have 2 English players in the starting XI :lol:

[GP]

Pardew is a fucking hypocrite.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Shit shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube goes for glory, drags his shot wide.

Tiote. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Pacy counter attack :bow:

Ox shoots wide

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry. :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Tierry Henry :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Wenger, still thinks Walcott is gonna stay. The man never learns. Shit striker has a pre agreement already signed for loads more lolly elsewhere.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Sagna's cross :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Cazorla should do better there

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It eliminates the striker thing as part of the reasoning for our benefit though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly little bit calamity.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Shit from Oxo

[Cripps_orig]

ESPN showing a bird on the pitch

Most excitement so far

Shows more movement than Giroud tbh

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We're doing out best to slow the game down again :rolleyes:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Get up Jack! ya whimp!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Great positional play from newcastle they know what they're doing.

[Cripps_orig]

Our pass pass pass move comes to nothing surprisingly

[Cripps_orig]

Theo is scaring the shit out of the Newcastle defenders

Krul saves them there

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Fuck off Kos!!!! you twat!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

fuck off podlolski you twat!!!

[Master Splinter]

Podolski even blasts his five-yard passes.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

fucking useless podlolski.

[Cripps_orig]

Newcastle FK in a decent position

[Cripps_orig]

Ches catches it :yikes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud would've been able to control that one tbf.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Ches catches it :yikes:

I wish we had a proper keeper though.

[Cripps_orig]

Newcastle corner

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It's all very easy for newcastle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenget struggling with his coat.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ba clears for us.

[Cripps_orig]

Ba heads over

Zonal marking :haha:

Bould and Wenger :doh:

All Newcastle atm

[Gervinho's Forehead]

No one manages to mark Ba :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Wenget having trouble with the zip on the Doom Coat.

Also, 17:30 kick-offs always result in awlful matches.

[Cripps_orig]

No one manages to mark Ba :doh:

The zone did

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Fucking home fans really shame us.

Away fans! :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Cisse was on there

[Gervinho's Forehead]

The zone did

Ah of course. :good:

[Cripps_orig]

Ox with a shit cross

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Our crossing :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Wilshere :bow:

Went past 3 players but got crowded out

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Jack being a prat and trying to do it all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Obertan. :lol:

Easy for Szajanany.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Boring from us yet again.

[Cripps_orig]

THEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What a fucking player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Theo!!!!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Brilliant goal!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Poldi. :bow:

[GP]

Fuck yes!

Great from Walcott coming from out wide.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Fast and direct actually works shock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was that Cazorla ready for a tap-in again? :lol:

Great determination.

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant finish

Name being sung all over the world by all true gooners

Giroud :wave:

[GP]

Was that Cazorla ready for a tap-in again? :lol:

Great determination.

NQ :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nice turn from Ba, eventually crowded out.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

What a shit defence we have!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

See ya giroud! :wave:

Fuck off ya statue.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski has almost as many assists as goals now.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Wenger and his sleeping bag what a joke.

[Cripps_orig]

What a shit defence we have!

Our best CB and thus our best CB partnership arent playing today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why the abuse for Giroud?

[GP]

Why the abuse for Giroud?

WUMing.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Why the abuse for Giroud?

He's rubbish.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's rubbish.

He isn't even playing though. It's stupid.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

WUMing.

That's rich coming from the king of the WUMs

[Cripps_orig]

He's rubbish.
Pretty much

[Gervinho's Forehead]

He isn't even playing though. It's stupid.

Not really though is it, when he's on the bench and walcott has been chosen ahead of him.

[Cripps_orig]

That's rich coming from the king of the WUMs

I resent that

CHes :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

Zonal attacking :bow:

[Globalgunner]

He isn't even playing though. It's stupid.

Scored more goals than Henry at the same stage, yet he`s shit

[Cripps_orig]

Another corner

[Gervinho's Forehead]

I resent that

CHes :doh:

Sorry :hug:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not really though is it, when he's on the bench and walcott has been chosen ahead of him.

It's exactly the point. He isn't involved in this match, yet anyway. And where's the praise for Wenger on not picking him then if it's so important to have a go at Giroud?

[Cripps_orig]

Krul drops it

Gathers at the 2nd attempt

[Cripps_orig]

Newcastle corner

[Cripps_orig]

Ches catches again

Wtf is going on?

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It's exactly the point. He isn't involved in this match, yet anyway. And where's the praise for Wenger on not picking him then if it's so important to have a go at Giroud?

It's really hit a nerve with you hasn't it?

No I like the fact wenger is being consisten (for once) and keeping a team that's gotten wins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's really hit a nerve with you hasn't it?

No I like the fact wenger is being consisten (for once) and keeping a team that's gotten wins.

Seeing someone say 'fuck off' to our own players again and again when they aren't playing, yeah it doesn't really reflect very well, on a match thread, thus we could do without it.

[Master Splinter]

Record levels of poor passing from both teams.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Seeing someone say 'fuck off' to our own players again and again when they aren't playing, yeah it doesn't really reflect very well, on a match thread, thus we could do without it.

Oh please I'm not the first and I won't be the last, I know there's alot of man love for giroud and all that.

I want giroud to fuck off because he's shit and not Arsenal quality and I blame wenger for buying the statue in the first place!!

I can imagine how you would like these match threads to be, sterile boring places.

[Cripps_orig]

Statisticians Opta on Twitter: "31.6% - Of the 29 players to have scored 6+ Premier League goals in 2012-13, Theo Walcott has the best shot conversion rate (31.6%). Striker."

THEO THEO THEO

Not a striker though tbh....

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Walcott should've put that away there!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh please I'm not the first and I won't be the last, I know there's alot of man love for giroud and all that.

I can imagine how you would like these match threads to be, sterile boring places.

People get far more latitude on match threads here as it is then on any other match forum from other teams websites that I read, so I don't really think it equates to wanting to make it sterile or boring. It's just people can't seem to ever accept being asked to not do something. Other forums would just ban you outright for it.

We all know you want Giroud to fuck off, we don't need to hear it about him incessantly when he can't fuck off from a game he isn't playing in.

Great chance for Theo, Krul saves.

Poldi. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

THEO THEO THEO

Not a striker though tbh....

Impressive timing.

[GP]

FFS Theo!

What a sittter!

Great play from Podolski again.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo does well to get a shot away off balance

Krul saves

[Syn]

I can imagine how you would like these match threads to be, sterile boring places.

Trust me. Tediously mentioning 'fuck off [my hated player' and '[my favourite player] :bow: ' every fucking post is what is making this place boring and childish. Now stop looking for attention.

Podolski and Walcott are reading eachother very well today. Need Oxlade to get more involved.

I wasn't the one that started an argument on it and don't be so sanctimonious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Szananay to get it safe and away off Tiote's shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible pass from Theo.

[GP]

FFS Theo!!

Could be 3 up by now

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Really poor pass walcott!

[Master Splinter]

Theo :doh:.

Terrible pass.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo unfortunate there

[Mr. Lahey]

theo fucks up again

[Gervinho's Forehead]

The rather open play is helping us play really well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Barcodes, dangerous area.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

poor FK to give away.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

The Arsenal Library rears it's head :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

Ba

FF Points :bow:

We are shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Ba deflected freekick.

[Globalgunner]

We are so much better than these turds yet wont do the necessary. Next thing you know????

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Dear oh dear.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

What a shit free kick to give away! sagna :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Middle of the fucking goal

Ches is terrible

[Master Splinter]

Sir Jack :doh:.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Why did newcastle "deserve" it?

[GP]

Waddle reckons Newcastle have dominated :haha:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It's always right before HT as well :banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sznaanany saves from Marveaux.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Why did newcastle "deserve" it?

Because they're only a wee club from the north east.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Because they're only a wee club from the north east.

Oh good point! :good:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

The wide open play really helped us, need to try and create more situations like that!

[Globalgunner]

I hope our "striker" will man up or get the FK out to his proper position

[Cripps_orig]

1-1 HT

Theo our best player by a mile

Newcastle with a deserved equaliser.

Game on

[Cripps_orig]

I hope our "striker" will man up or get the FK out to his proper position

Our striker who scored?

[Mr. Lahey]

we played well for the most part, nice finish by Theo but he should have done better on a couple of other occasions. the goal for them was lucky but again we showed our complacency and they had 2 or 3 good chances near the end. i think if anything is needed its gotta be a CM, Arteta is not the player we need there.

[Master Splinter]

Walcott messed up two chances for us to go further ahead. He needs to make up for that in the second half now, like all good strikers should.

Podolski is probably the most switched on player for once.

Contributing to our own downfall again for the Newcastle goal :bow:.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

They should have RVC on this advert instead of Messi, two rapists together. :hug:

[Syn]

Not a good quality game. We could've had a second. Theo with 2 good chances after his well taken goal. First one was a bit tricky but for our 2 on 1 where he fucked up the pass to Cazorla, it was ridiculously poor.

No need to change anything. Just got to hope that Cazorla or Wilshere go up a gear in the second and Podolski and Walcott can take any chances.

[Joker]

Newcastle deservedly level, they've dominated this half. We've only had two moments of quality, involving Podolski and Walcott. Theo's been lively, and was unlucky with his second chance but should have done better with the pass to Cazorla. Podolski looks very good as well.

The midfield 3 need to wake up though. They're allowing Newcastle to dominate, and not closing them down enough.

[Cripps_orig]

Wishere is a bit of a coward

[Gervinho's Forehead]

That was really poor from Jack.

[Cripps_orig]

Our midfield is a massive problem

[Marc Overmars]

A bit shit but Newcastle are #decent, it was never going to be an easy game.

Come on Arsenal.

[Joker]

It would be good if Arteta stepped up today and shared the creative burden with Wilshere and Cazorla. He's hiding today, and we can't afford passengers.

Agreed, we've had the better of the 1st half, just need more of the same, without the mistakes up front.

Hope Giroud comes on soon.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

A bit shit but Newcastle are #decent, it was never going to be an easy game.

Come on Arsenal.

It would've been 1-0 at HT had Jack actually done his job in the wall though.

To say newcastle deserved to be level is a odd.

[Cripps_orig]

It would be good if Arteta stepped up today and shared the creative burden with Wilshere and Cazorla. He's hiding today, and we can't afford passengers.
Today?

Hes been nothing short of horrific since he joined

[Globalgunner]

That was really poor from Jack.

Its an Arsenal problem. Weve been chicken shit about getting hit by the ball for years. You would think getting hit with a ball could kill you.....Then again. SAF thinks so.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Our midfield is a massive problem


our so called striker not being able to make a simple pass is a massive problem too

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Its an Arsenal problem. Weve been chicken shit about getting hit by the ball for years. You would think getting hit with a ball could kill you.....Then again. SAF thinks so.

It is a problem esp in a wall for a FK because that's what's supposed to happen in a wall!

Yeah sir c*nt-alot believes it so it must be true.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great overlap from Gibbs, Krul saves.

[Cripps_orig]

Shoot across goal ffs Gibbs

[Cripps_orig]

our so called striker not being able to make a simple pass is a massive problem too

He scored :coffee:

/thread

[Globalgunner]

Gibbs again showing why being called an England player doesn't mean you're really very good.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Why hoof it then!!

[Ollie the Optimist]

He scored :coffee:

/thread

so what if he scored. he should have made an easy assist, to most liekly make it 2-0. a simple pass he got wrong. its not good enough

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OXOCUBE!!!!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Made in England!

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Was that goal harsh on newcastle as well? :unsure:

[Globalgunner]

Ox showing what happens when you have the cojones to shoot from distance......Good goal.
Now stay awake lads. Lets hit them again.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski playing really well today.

He put pressure on there and won the header to set it up too. He could have had a hat-trick of assists so far.

[GP]

Made in England!

Pardiola :haha:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

I find it full of hypocrisy that those having a go at walcott are the same ones having a go at me for wanting giroud to fuck off, but there we are.

[Ollie the Optimist]

OX scores, so he now cannot be criticised for anything for the rest of the game.


:achlogic: :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes will offer up huge spaces on the counter-attack so please be lethal Arsenal.

[Cripps_orig]

I find it full of hypocrisy that those having a go at walcott are the same ones having a go at me for wanting giroud to fuck off, but there we are.

Welcome to GW

[Cripps_orig]

:achlogic: :coffee:

But scoring doesnt matter in football...:doh:

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo has to have better control in those areas.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Welcome to GW

Thank you it's nice to be here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell was that? :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Our GHEL generation. :bow:

[GP]

FFS what a waste!

[Master Splinter]

OX scores, so he now cannot be criticised for anything for the rest of the game.


:achlogic: :coffee:

There's already enough obnoxious stupidity in the air, is there any point in fuelling it any further?

[Cripps_orig]

Theo is full of confidence as he should be.

Having a good game

Shoots just wide

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We really need another goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 Marveaux. Dear me.

[Cripps_orig]

2-2

Some dude no one has heard of has scored his first goal

We are awful

[Gervinho's Forehead]

OH FUCK OFF!!!!!!!! shit defence.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

2-2

Some dude no one has heard of has scored his first goal

We are awful

We ALWAYS give people their first goal FFS!

[Master Splinter]

That was horrendous.

[GP]

Unmarked. What's Gibbs doing?

:doh:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Like I said we really needed another goal to make it 3-1 because we're never comfortable with just the 1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Krul saves from Cazorla.

[Cripps_orig]

Krul with a great save off the Myths shot

[Marc Overmars]

Welcome back Arsenal.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

We really can't afford to drop anymore points at home.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Welcome back Arsenal.

Best in the world at what we do. :cool:

[Cripps_orig]

Well played by Gibbs there

Krul is looking good though

Cheeky bid?

[Gervinho's Forehead]
