Arsenal v Man City Sunday 13th January 4pm Sky Sports

[Cripps_orig]

Will do well to avoid a slaughtering. Theo has to be back up front for sure. Any possible new signings in this?

oh....

[Marc Overmars]

Villa to score on his debut tbh.

[Niall_Quinn]

Aguero versus our defenders, only one possible result here.

[Joker]

We'll do well to keep it down to a 0-1/0-2 defeat.

[Cripps_orig]

Aguero versus our defenders, only one possible result here.

Aguero won't play

[Niall_Quinn]

Aguero won't play

Tevez vs our defenders? Only one possible result here.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

There's only one team winning this one and it ain't Arsenal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A win, we often play very well against Citeh.

[Niall_Quinn]

A win, we often play very well against Citeh.

No chance at all. Every ounce of flukery for 2013 just got used up when Sturridge scored, so we are shit out of luck.

[Injury Time]

Villa to score on his debut tbh.
Theo to score the second on his debut 2-0 win for Citeh

[GP]

3-0

[Letters]

1-1. Dignity maintained.

[Injury Time]

1-1. Dignity maintained.

Who is going to score the OG for us to get one?

[Cripps_orig]

I'll miss this :dance:

[Master Splinter]

Sagna in this form should really be dropped. Bringing in Rosicky to bolster and keep control of the midfield like we usually do against City would be useful. Podolski can be deadly in the final third but can also be a passenger if the play is too congested. An on-form Cazorla is needed for a good result.

It will most likely be another close game.

2-1. Zaha, Adrian, Villa o.g.

[Master Splinter]

No chance at all.

Knew you were a Citeh fan.

And Citeh used up all their flukery when they didn't get an aggregate hammering of 27-0 in the games they played against Real Madrid and Dortmund.

[fakeyank]

1-4

[Özil's Panoramic View]

We always seem to play well against citeh, plus we're due a good performance after being nothing short of dire in our last two outings.

Theo is still playing for the window and what better way to attract the interest of the big clubs than to poach a couple against the champs.

Giroud hasn't scored from a header in a while and will more than likely get one over Kompany, who will not find it easy to cynically pull back/down an opponent of similar strength and stature.

We have Wenger, but he knows he won't be buying this window, so a win here is vital to his continued deluded thinking that he actually has a quality blend of players, good enough for that invaluable 4th place trophy.

3-2

[Marc Overmars]

Chelsea and Liverpool follow this game as well, we could find ourselves well off the pace in a few weeks if we don't start finding some consistency in our performances.

I'm not too concerned actually, we don't always win the big games but we normally put in the sort of performance that gives us a good chance. Unless it's United where we just get slaughtered either way.

[IBK]

Draw, All day.

Giroud headed in against Newcastle

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Giroud headed in against Newcastle

Didn't watch that game, tbh. Still, that was 3 games ago so he's due again.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I remember when I used to look forward to big games - now this is simply a match where if we get anything out of it, it is a bonus.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Win
Yaya and Kun out. . .have to make the midfield ours. Would definitely start Rosicky if we are persisting with playing out of position wingers

[Ollie the Optimist]

we will win, and win well

[Grebbo]

Aguero is out which is great news. He's top quality.

We could scrape a draw if we can limit the amount of our players to encounter a total lack of form to less than 3.

[GP]

Mike Dean is the referee.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Mike Dean is the referee.

i revise my prediction from earlier.


we will lose


how many fuckign times do we have to have mike dean reffing our games?

If City dont win this, they should be relegated

[BlindFaith_8]

We'll win this game, our players always up their game against the top 3, I'm more nervous when we play a team outside the top 4.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

We'll win this game, our players always up their game against the top 3, I'm more nervous when we play a team outside the top 4.

I take it that by top 3 you mean Citeh, Chavs and Spuds, right?

[BlindFaith_8]

Sorry meant top 4;
Man Ure
Citeh
Chavs
Spuds

As much as it pains me to say this, the Spuds have a much better squad player for player, they play by far and away the sexier football and lastly they have imo a great manager in AVB who makes ******* look like a clown.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sexier football? :lol: Give me a break. I don't think they've even been saying on Glory-Glory they have been playing 'sexy football'.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

did sky have to put this humiliation live in front of the nation?

You missed what I was alluding to by a mile. :lol:

Just pointing out that we don't up our play against the Mancs, well at least not over the last 2 seasons or so ie.

[Letters]

As much as it pains me to say this, the Spuds have a much better squad player for player, they play by far and away the sexier football and lastly they have imo a great manager in AVB who makes ******* look like a clown.
And yet they're only 5 points ahead of us having played a game more.
They're not that good. Nor are we of course but they're not that much better than us if at all.

[Kano]

Sorry meant top 4;
Man Ure
Citeh
Chavs
Spuds

As much as it pains me to say this, the Spuds have a much better squad player for player, they play by far and away the sexier football and lastly they have imo a great manager in AVB who makes ******* look like a clown.

yet if we beat west ham we are two points behind them.

we are not very good but neither is the rest of this league, so i'm not sure your theory holds up.

[GP]

Yeah, Spurs are so good we only smashed 5 past them.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't think there's much of a gap between ourselves and Sperz these days. We both blow hot and cold.

[Ollie the Optimist]

in the premiership, wenger and avb have met twice, we have scored five goals in both of those games and won.


and spurs are so good, we sold our best two players, and still smashed five past them. twice, in one year.

[BlindFaith_8]

Also Swansea had unsold their home allocation, considering they only have what a 22K all seater, we took around 5000 fans, so a small club from the Valleys could'nt even sell out a game that a few years ago would have been sold in a matter of hours, just proves that away teams and home fans no longer find playing against the once famous Arsenal as one of the highlights of the season.

[Joker]

City haven't sold out their allocation because their fans are protesting at the prices they're being charged.

[GP]

Well, their clubs owners are at least partly to blame.

[Joker]

Perhaps so but our prices have been somewhat exorbitant for some time, even before City were taken over. In any case, their supporters aren't to blame for their owner's excessive spending, so I can understand their actions. We need to also take into account that City fans are in general low earners (there was a survey that found they were the poorest supporters out of all BPL clubs) so the fact that they are angered by our pricing is understandable.

We're not the only ones who charge expensive tickets (QPR are ridiculously expensive as well) so finger pointing at one club or another doesn't help matters. The authorities need to regulate ticket pricing so that they're not purely determined by free market forces.

[GP]

Ticket prices are a direct consequence of player wages, so if the authorities need to regulate anything, it's the reckless spending by clubs such as City, Chelsea and others with Oligarch owners.

[Joker]

Yes but our ticket prices were extremely high relative to other clubs even before the rise of the Oligarch owners. And if you're taking about wages spiraling out of control, no club has clean hands. After all we paid Sol Campbell £100K/week back in 2001.

And even if spending is regulated, that's just the first step. Arsenal can always charge high prices because, as a club in the South East of England there will always be quite a few affluent businessmen willing and able to fork out £60-70 for a ticket, and lower income supporters will still be priced out.

[Niall_Quinn]

We definitely need the authorities to regulate many, many more things because there is nowhere near enough regulation in this world.

[milla]

We definitely need the authorities to regulate many, many more things because there is nowhere near enough regulation in this world.

We need to regulate your face, its fekin ugly. :coffee:

[Gervinho's Forehead]

There's lots of tickets on ticket exchange for this including quite a few lower tier seats.

[Ollie the Optimist]

City haven't sold out their allocation because their fans are protesting at the prices they're being charged.

funny that they complain now. they charged southampton fans 50 quid for the away game at city. no press coverage there. norwich charged us 50 quid, chelsea are charging 60 for next week. untied charged us 56 quid for our game in novemeber. apparently spurs are charging 70 quid for away fans at the NLD.


one club though is being hammered in the press.

pathetic

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Arsenal should be hammered in the press for how much they charge just their own fans.

[BlindFaith_8]

Agreed, they've priced me out since they moved to Ashburton Grove, I make a fairly good living but still cant afford to go to a game and then go out on Saturday night. AFC need to understand that we are still in harsh economic times and peope are sturggling to put food on the table, yet these public school boys ****s keep hiking the prices. I am glad we were singled out in the media and named and shamed.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Category C games have plenty of tickets that are cheaper than Highbury prices.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

Our clubs' owners deserve to be hammered for their pricing policies. There's no point blindly supporting everything that the board at Arsenal does, especially when it negatively affects the fans.

[LDG]

I haven't paid more than £30 for a match this season. Been to quite a few games too. Not Cat , admittedly, but still got offered tickets for £50 for Spud and Chelsea.....

The sooner we have standing again, the better, IMHO.

[Niall_Quinn]

I agree, rip out the seats and put railings in instead so we can rest on something while being bent over and fucked up the arse.

[Marc Overmars]

Giroud is rated 50/50 and faces a late fitness test.

It's fine to critisce our board. What isn't fine, is the ,media hammering us as if we only club doing it. City fans moaning about it even though they charged Southampton 50 quid each. The media love attacking us, and its stupid. I'm not saying our prices are right or fair, but the media seem to imply everyone else charges a fiver while we charge a billion quid. It's pathetic.

No.1 Every club feels like the media is against them. In our case, its not true just like how its not true about any other clubs.

No.2 If we won or played good football n challenged for trophies, those prices make sense. We play a boring brand of football, dont win, sell our best players yet charge as if we are Barcelona or Utd. On evidence of the shower of shite we witness, even a fiver is a lot to charge!

Little bit exaggeration.

6 points behind Spunts, & 2 matches in hand. :unsure:

Concede in extra mimnutes (that how u spell it Lettuce?) of first half, then chase the game (by general jogging with lack of intent) get caught out Toure Snr gets his hat trick...

Well, we have a chance to claw the gap back on the spuds and the chavs. There's an opportunity here which we need to grab for sure. Pressure is on, we have to deliver.

Therefore city victory guaranteed.

[Maestro]

6 points behind Spunts, & 2 matches in hand. :unsure:

and those two games are Shitty & Chavs, will be interesting

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The second game in hand is against the 'Ammers at home.

[Maestro]

Oh the postponed Christmas tie

[BlindFaith_8]

So sad that year in year out we are talking about Spuds and Everton, and how many points apart and places for 3rd and 4th, when previously we were challening the scum at United for the league and now we are so far behind in terms of points and ambition, all we have to bragg about is being above the Spudz for the forseaable future, thanks to that muppet.

[Joker]

Arteta out injured


@m8arteta: So gutted 2 b injured 2day...I played every minute so far and wanted to keep going and help the team!I'll do my best 2 come back asap!!

[BlindFaith_8]

Not bothered he's out, let's be honest all he does is pass the ball sideways or backwards, not a true midfield general that can change games or is a box to box player. Song was perfect for that postion, used to protect the defence and then bomb forward with assists or goals. We do miss him badly.

[Master Splinter]

Police have found what they describe as a "suspect package" in a car park close to the Emirates Stadium and have cordoned off the ground prior to the Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Although Citeh have posted their team:

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Nastasic, Clichy, Garcia, Barry, Milner, Tevez, Silva, Dzeko.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's the money to purchase Falcao with.

[Master Splinter]

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

Subs: Mannone, Jenkinson, Santos, Mertesacker, Ramsey, Coquelin, Giroud

No BFG. :rolleyes:

Good Diaby :pray:.

Fit Diaby :pray:.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Diaby's one-match return was well timed.

[Niall_Quinn]

Diaby's one-match return was well timed.

Probably half match return, tbh. UPP - utterly pointless player.

At least stick Segrio Gnabry or Eisfeld on the bench. Apart from Giroud, there's nothing.

Lol Giroud is nothing too.

Good point. He has to have a knock otherwise there's no explanation. He can be a genuine game-changer. But he was on the bench a couple of times and didn't get used, right? That is annoying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We have little bit FA Cup game midweek, yes.

[Özim]

Aguero a big miss, he's been their best forward since he arrived and is a real problem for all defences with his skills and ability to finish from anywhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Dennis Bendtner]

No worries anyway. The Abou Diaby Show is in town for one night only to take a massive shit on Gareth Barry. :dance:

[Boss]

Vermaelen-Koscielny as CBs?

We need to score at least 4 goals to win this.

It's happening tho.

Let's twat these twats.

Dear Jim,

Can you please fix it for me to see arsenal put in a decent performance today and not embarrass themselves at least? Then could you sit me on your knee and fiddle with my winkle?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get on your side of the tunnel Cazorla and Poldi.

[Newguy]

I've been waiting to see a Diaby, Wilshere and Cazorla midfield 3...let's hope it's as potent as ive envisaged

How do you know how much they charge out of interest?

Anyhow yes it's still a lot but less than us, moreover they are the Champions so that gives them a bit more of a case to be honest, premium for watching the PL winners I guess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Milner, shockingly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva shoots, well blocked by Vermaelen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zabaleta scuffs one in to the box, we somehow clear it in time.

You do realise that when we play Man Citeh people will still get the 'premium for watching the PL winners' against the country's third biggest team, in the most expensive city in the country, yes? I struggle to see how you can defend filth like Citeh for this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean makes sure of the result. What a ****.

[Boss]

Red card Koscielny.

It's over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Penalty.

Unfortunately for us, dean got it spot on.

Sir chesney :bow:

On second look, just how stupid is Kos? What a fucking moron.
Seriously the guy is a liability he was literally hugging him...what a pr*ck, fortunately Chesney saves the penalty.

Ches saves us, to prolong the torture. Game over. Fucking game over.

Kos, you stupid, stupid ****.

Penalty perhaps but not even close to being a red card.

Change the formation Arsene!! Stabilize the back!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clichy. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Of course if that had been Ferdinand or vidic, totally different story.

[Özim]

Seriously who the f*ck holds a player like that in the penalty area, obviously calamity does, but who else?

Going to be hard to get anything now, great start!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube off, BFG on.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Wtf are you doing wenger!?!

[Özim]

Penalty perhaps but not even close to being a red card.
How is that not a red card, he's holding the guy with two arms and pulls him down. He had to go if you follow the rules of the game.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Penalty perhaps but not even close to being a red card.

Goalscoring opportunity.

[hymppi]

Game over. What the fuck, Koz? Stupid motherfucker.

[Master Splinter]

Koscielny :doh:.

Chekko :haha:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Right then theo Walcott, here's your moment. Fucking hoof it over the top at every opportunity and let him chase it.

[Newguy]

Love the way Sagna never attempts to block any crosses

[Dennis Bendtner]

Maybe a red card is what it takes for City to play a bit of football at the Emirates.

[Özim]

I remember when our disciplinary record was awful and we won loads of stuff, it's been much better in recent years....maybe this is the start of something new?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany header across goal, Tevez can't get to it.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Yes Alan, that theory sums up why you are such a crap commentator.

[fakeyank]

I remember when our disciplinary record was awful and we won loads of stuff, it's been much better in recent years....maybe this is the start of something new?

:lol:

That was when we were a nasty GHELish team.. this is just bad coz we are committing silly fouls!

[Globalgunner]

Of course if that had been Ferdinand or vidic, totally different story.

absolutely. Yes it was a penalty but never at OT......Except if its an opposition defender.


Anyways, the script has been written. Lets see how many Dean gives like that the rest of this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need Citeh to bring Balotelli on, will be 10 vs 10 fairly sharpish.

[Niall_Quinn]

Handball Clichy. Nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart flaps one out in front of goal, Theo clears it for Citeh.

[Boss]

Fuxsake Theo.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking terrible by Walcott.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hart flaps one out in front of goal, Theo clears it for Citeh.

Hart is our trump card, if we can use him effectively.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair down. :rolleyes:

[Özim]

We have a problem, looks like City can defend.

[hymppi]

Walk it off, son.

[Niall_Quinn]

Deliberate attempt to injure Jack? Yes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko. :haha:

[Boss]

Dzeko :haha: :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

A high standard of striking on show today.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol, Marouane Dzeko.

[Özim]

Dzeko poor finish.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Milner.

[Boss]

:rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wasn't a FK. But the fucking defending. Shocking.

[Özim]

Podolski fouls Man City player....Milner scores.

[fakeyank]

Game over :rose:

[hymppi]

szez had no chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zabaleta is going mental at Poldi.

[Özim]

Wasn't a FK. But the fucking defending. Shocking.
I reckon it was, Podolski caught him initially they showed it on the replay.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off zabaletta you gypo ****.

[Dennis Bendtner]

O noes! Quit crying mate.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

How much more pathetic can we get?

Defending :rose:

[Özim]

Podolski catches Zabaletta with his hand and it's handbags.

[Dennis Bendtner]

For the goal I never know where the logic is in allowing an advantage but pulling it back if the guy messes it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner puts it across goal, Tevez leaves it on our behalf. It's just hope for the best time really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sznanay. :doh:

Sort out your kicking for god sake.

[Özim]

Man City's football even without Aguero is much better than ours IMO, much faster and more incisive.

Bring back pre 2005 football please.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It was not a FK - but that is immaterial - the defending was characteristic of us.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Milner unleashes another fierce drive, just wide.

Cueing up to be another game where an absolutely shit player will no doubt have the game of his life against us.

[Niall_Quinn]

We want can Persie back, we want van Persie back, Walcott is not all that, we want van Persie back!

**** when he wants, **** when he wa-ants, Laurent Koscielny, **** when he wants.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did we lose possession of it? Sky missed it all.

[Özim]

Tevez shoots straight at keeper after a good move.....from a poor pass by us.

[Marc Overmars]

This is going to be a slaughtering.

[Boss]

This is going to be painful if we don't change something.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We're down to ten men?

What happened?

[Özim]

It was not a FK - but that is immaterial - the defending was characteristic of us.
Watch it again, I think it was, Podolski try to go through him...they showed a replay.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dear Jim,

Thanks for nothing you ****!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance by Javi Garcia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're down to ten men?

What happened?

No contact!

[Özim]

Garcia free header in box due to zonal marking.

Zonal marking :lol:

Awful marking

[Xhaka Can’t]

Watch it again, I think it was, Podolski try to go through him...they showed a replay.

I did see the replay - it is the first 'action' I watched. It is immaterial in any event - we defended as we always did - by not defending.

[Özim]

No contact!
:lol: How was that a penalty?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible from Theo.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're down to ten men?

What happened?

Kos happened. He's back to his very worst. Blatant rugby tackle on Dzeko in front of goal.

[Boss]

Fuxsake Theo.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Why the fuck is theo taking our FK's?

Good god, we're shit.

[Özim]

I did see the replay - it is the first 'action' I watched. It is immaterial in any event - we defended as we always did - by not defending.
Well he did kinda go through him even though the play continued.

Yeah our defending has actually got worse this season, didn't think it was possible.

[Mr. Lahey]

why does walcott take set pieces? what a waste.

[Niall_Quinn]

60 more mins to endure.

come on theo.


theo :doh:

[Globalgunner]

How long will this indulgence of Walcott continue. If he hasnt signed ny now. Surelesly it must have dawned on clueless that he isnt gonna. his freekicks are crap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo and Cazorla with shite crossing efforts apiece.

[Özim]

Walcott made a good run and Vermaelen was playing like a striker.

A+ for effort but should he be defending and the forwards be making runs?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Dzeko.

[Boss]

Dzeko 2-0 :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ches with the assist.

It's about goal difference now.

[Mr. Lahey]

this is going to get ugly, im debating on turning it off now.

[Newguy]

We are the laziest football team in the premiership...just watching this team is embarrassing....look at Sagna

[Xhaka Can’t]

Oh god - this is going to be a slaughter unless we make use of our strength in depth.

[Özim]

Outfought and Dzeko makes it 2.

We're are f*cking weak and awful...Gibbs can f*ck off with Koscielny.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Oh dear!

Milner assist

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo is their best defender.

[hymppi]

This is going to be a slaughter.

[Özim]

Is Cazorla play for City today because I swear everytime he touches the ball it's to pass it back to them.

[Marc Overmars]

Time to throw in the towel.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh god - this is going to be a slaughter unless we make use of our strength in depth.

The only thing that will keep the score in single figures us to absolutely resist using our strength in depth.

[fakeyank]

I am just going to go back to sleep..

[Master Splinter]

When we have the opportunity to cross from the right wing, I think it would be more worthwhile to just kick the ball into the crowd.

[Niall_Quinn]

Time to throw in the towel.

No can do, we sold the towel.

[Dennis Bendtner]

That was a good move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi shoots, Hart saves. Good move.

[Niall_Quinn]

When we have the opportunity to cross from the right wing, I think it would be more worthwhile to just kick the ball into the crowd.


That's what we're doing, pay attention.

[Boss]

Good play by Podolski.

They have way too many back for us to really do anything.

[Niall_Quinn]

That was a good move.

RvP said the same thing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry. :haha:

[Özim]

Good play by Podolski.

They have way too many back for us to really do anything.
Don't you mean they actually know how to defend?

They're not exactly sitting back as they've scored 2 and had a number of shots.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like our policy of buying shit defenders isn't paying off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mike Dean stops us from taking the freekick we were awarded. :lol:

[Dennis Bendtner]

RvP said the same thing.

Can you move from the commentary box?

[leaf]

just got in wtf going on

[Xhaka Can’t]

Looks like our policy of buying shit defenders isn't paying off.

Yeah, we'd better stop buying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, Theo territory.

[Niall_Quinn]

FK. Score it you bastards.

[Boss]

Theo can gtfo from this.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Vermaelen lining up the hammer into the wall.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a waste.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking yawn.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diaby sends one miles away. Good turn though.

[hobson's choice]

At least Wenger can delude himself into believing they would've won this game if Kos didn't get a red.
