Arsenal vs Swansea FA Cup 3rd Round Replay: Wednesday 16th January 19:30 KO

[Joker]

Would stink to get out of the FA Cup at such an early stage which is why I hope we see a strong team.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wednesday is the 16th.

For a few moments I was feeling a bit better about an impending work deadline.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Edited.

I got the last one completely wrong, therefore I think we will win this one.

[Ollie the Optimist]

i said in the orgianl thread we would draw 2-2 then edge a close game in the replay 2-1. im sticking with that

[Letters]

We'll win and win well.

[Joker]

I think we'll win if we play our strongest team. Swansea have played a lot of football recently and may have one eye on the COC semi final 2nd leg.

2-0 Arsenal IMO

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Swansea.

[BlindFaith_8]

I think were all being a little over confident and cocky. Swansea have owned us in almost every game, they went to to the bridge and came away with a 2 nil, they came to the New Libraray and beat us 2 nil, their 2nd team almost beat us so lets not kid ourselves, they are ny far and away a better footballing side than we are, which pains me to say but it's the truth. They outclassed and outplayed us in the previous games, so why do some forum members think this will be any different?

[Xhaka Can’t]

New Library?

Some fan you are.

Why do some people have the need to denigrate every aspect of the Club now?

[GP]

New Library?

Some fan you are.

Why do some people have the need to denigrate every aspect of the Club now?

Because they are wind up merchants.

He's a poor fan, no I mean a really poor fan, hasn't been a able to afford a match since we moved from the marshes :rolleyes:
2 nil up heard city fans twice, did Wenger thank the fans for showing great spirit?

[Injury Time]

I've skool so will miss this

[BlindFaith_8]

Because it's the truth, there is no atmoshphere, it's hardly a partisan crowd and a ground that away teams fear. I give our away fans 10/10, they are the true hard core and lifeblood of the club. Most of the home fans are day trippers and get over awed from the stadium and sarroundings so they end up spending time taking pics. Truth hurts but our home fans are hardly vociferous.

He'll soon be BF8 quality when he gives up his season ticket.

[Ralpheroo72]

Meh :coffee:

Not as bad as GWs own resident foreign day tripper.

[GP]

3-0

Unless we get a penalty then it's just luck.

It amused me that people said they were 'attending'.
Can you attend a boycott? :blink:

[PGFC]

Conversely, can you boycott a boycott?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah, don't put on Test Match Special.

[Xhaka Can’t]

As a demonstration of protest, I will not make this post.

[GP]

As a demonstration of posting, I will not make a boycott.

[Master Splinter]

What do I think of the boy cott?

I must tell you, it is a complicated situation. The global impression is not favourable. I hope there is a resolution.

But I believe he will sign, yes.

[GP]

Chesney

Sagan Mert Verm Gibbs

Theo Jack Diaby Santi

Giroud Podolski


Lets go nuts.

[Marc Overmars]

I have wondered why Wenget hasn't tried Chumpzola in the wide areas, he has a little burst and the ability to beat a man, that has to be more effective than what we're currently getting. Plus it would mean using Ramzi more naturally in the centre.

[Kano]

£50 a pop for this - even for kids.

we'll win but i don't even want to think about sunday's game

[Cripps_orig]

This is on ESPN. Yay

[Grebbo]

We never bounce straight back after a loss so another loss is on the cards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Never? I think that is little bit made up.

[BlindFaith_8]

Hard to call this game, the Swans have had the better of us and they don't fear coming to Ashburton Grove. All depends on what team Le Nutty Professor picks and more importantly if the players are up for it, we could win quite comfortable and shake this monkey off our shoulder, or it could go horribly wrong.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

This is the time of year when we drop out of all competitions to focus on that much coveted 4th place trophy.

1-2 Swansealona

[Injury Time]

With our spirit?
With our character?
With our depth of squad?
Little bit loss.

[Letters]

We'll win and win well.

[Marc Overmars]

Quite cold tonight so I don't think it will be the best of performances.

[Injury Time]

Quite cold tonight so I don't think it will be the best of performances.
Arsenal frozen out of the cup!

[BlindFaith_8]

Our season could end tonight and all we have to look forward to is a good thrashing by Bayern and trying to keep up with Everton and Spurs for 4th place, how depressing. Having said all that we are due a result against the Sheep Shaggers, I just hope they play the 2nd string to give us a chance as Michu and Graham are in hot form. How many teams can go to the bridge and shut out the Chavs awesome quartet of free flowing footballers and score 2 goals? getting nervous thinking about it now.

[Kano]

Quite cold tonight so I don't think it will be the best of performances.
at least the crowd can keep warm with plenty of abuse.

[Cripps_orig]

No one wants to borrow the season ticket to go to this :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Win this and Wenget will face some abuse tbf.

[Maestro]

Heck you're right he will face abuse, he's immune to it now ...the bastard

something to look forward to nonetheless

[Ollie the Optimist]

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Coquelin, Wilshere, Diaby, Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud

[Marc Overmars]

Good to see Coq has been given a chance.

Is Copzola playing wide? About time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla possibly where he was mainly in La Liga. :popcorn:

[Ollie the Optimist]

is that a 442?

wenger has spurng a tactical surprise for once

[Ollie the Optimist]

and, where the fuck is rosicky

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Slight injury so Wenger said.

[Kano]

oh great. just fantastic. let's run jack and caz into the ground. that'll work out just fine.

[Marc Overmars]

Rosicky. :lol:

Send him to the glue factory.

[Maestro]

oh great. just fantastic. let's run jack and caz into the ground. that'll work out just fine.

desperate times for wenget and arsenal, too bad rozza is out as well

[Power n Glory]

Is he trying to kill Diaby? Two games in a week is a bit much.

Come on Arsenal, all is forgiven for 90 mins

[Cripps_orig]

Some big black Swansea dude goes to every player in our team, highfiving and smiling and we do likewise. Fear factor is well and truly gone.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

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

[hymppi]

Bartley?

[Maestro]

What is wrong with Vermaelen

[Cripps_orig]

Walcott puts Giroud through and he passes :lol:

Time for Pod?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenget struggling with his coat again. :haha:

[Power n Glory]

That was poor Giroud!

[hymppi]

Giroud misses

[Marc Overmars]

Couple of chances for Big Sexy but they go wide. Theo started well.

[Cripps_orig]

Oh dear god

Get Giroud off now

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a bad start really.

[Maestro]

Wenget struggling with his coat again. :haha:

penguin suit FAIL

[Power n Glory]

Is Giroud playing down the left?

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Giroud playing down the left?

No, it looks like his role is to fuck up centrally.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo :doh:

[hymppi]

Lolcott nutmegs himself

[Power n Glory]

Walcott is a loser for that cock up!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger is still at it with that coat! :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like tonight is not the night for a Diaby performance.

[hymppi]

AW thought that jacket brought luck against Newcastle so he wore it again today...

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger is still at it with that coat! :haha:

New zips are expensive, I approve of him make do and mend policy.

[milla]

Lolcott nutmegs himself

That's £100k per week for you. Overrated ****. :coffee:

[Niall_Quinn]

Offside FFS.

[Cripps_orig]

Good start by Theo

Giroud a little bit shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great block from Vermaelen.

[Gooner23]

Wenger is still at it with that coat! :haha:

Even the kit man at our club's a WUM

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice play, jack did well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diaby's shot blocked, I thought the goal was coming.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great back pass to ease the pressure on Swansea.

[Boss]

Why tf is Theo still taking our set pieces?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucked up passage if play by jack. Did it all himself.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why tf is Theo still taking our set pieces?

Contractual.

[Boss]

Our defending :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Dear lord theo, crazy dive. But he got the FK.

[Maestro]

Why tf is Theo still taking our set pieces?

It's £100k a week plus free kicks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, I am not sure how.

Clattenburg. :lol:

[hymppi]

Oh,dear. This falling down business is getting embarrassing.

[Niall_Quinn]

TV lining up to waste it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deflected over from Vermaelen taking it.

[Boss]

Impressive dive.

Hope he doesn';t take this FK.

[Maestro]

Come on Arsenal

please

[Marc Overmars]

Coq forces a good save.

[Niall_Quinn]

Coq with a good effort. Straight at the keeper though.

[hymppi]

Good shot by Coquelin

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts breaking the 2mph barrier there.

[Maestro]

good coq shot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perfect time for the fall down and keep the ball solo run from Theo there.

[Marc Overmars]

Cheeky bid for Leon 'Xavi' Britton tbh.

[Injury Time]

good coq shot
:rimshot:

[Maestro]

if we actually bothered to team press and work hard off the ball, we'll be a much better side

[Marc Overmars]

Bartley hits the bar.

Again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bartley heads on to the bar!

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh dear, what shit defending. Lucky to not be a goal down.

[Niall_Quinn]

Handball, deliberate, why no booking?

[Gooner23]

More empty seats than I've seen before

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo :doh:

[Globalgunner]

Kyle bartley doing us a favour there. Arsenal defending: the worst money can buy

[Marc Overmars]

Theo's freekicks. :doh:

Why doesn't Clipzola take them?

[Niall_Quinn]

Swansea poof knocked out by a glove flick.

[Injury Time]

Swansea poof knocked out by a glove flick.
What a cad!

[Injury Time]

Theo's freekicks. :doh:

Why doesn't Clipzola take them?

To cold his DNA denatures at such temperatures.

[Niall_Quinn]

Offside Wilshere good play though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair's little burst. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud is a little bit nowhere near as good as RvP.

[Gooner23]

Lols, Merts just done a skill (badly)

[Boss]

When was the last time we scored from a corner? Might as well give them a goalkick tbh.

Wilshere is key to us winning this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Vital tackle by TV.

[Niall_Quinn]

TV doing a Kos in the box, but not as convincing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair making stuff happen.

[Newguy]

Cazorla is hiding, get him off

[Niall_Quinn]

That little bit of care and attention.

We don't have it.

[Maestro]

would be nice to score soon

[Maestro]

That little bit of care and attention.

We don't have it.


casual and careless we are

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Craig Burley seems to think Cazorla never shoots or something. :lol;

[Globalgunner]

What we are seeing is a bunch of bricklayers trying to perform keyhole surgery. its painful to watch

[Gooner23]

He should have shot, but to be fair that was a good pass. Walcott was just little bit static.

[Niall_Quinn]

Craig Burley seems to think Cazorla never shoots or something. :lol;

He shouldn't be talking about the players, his job is to create an imaginary crisis based on the attendance and crowd response.

[Maestro]

come on arsenal

[Özim]

Any streams?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vermaelen scuffer, saved by Vorm.

0-0 HT. That was little bit shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good p,at by Giroud but what is he doing on the wing?

TV misses a sitter. Terrible. Should be going in 1-0 up.

[Maestro]

shit that was close

[Newguy]

Giroud as the left winger is still confusing me lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He shouldn't be talking about the players, his job is to create an imaginary crisis based on the attendance and crowd response.

Such favourites as: the crowd are getting frustrated (said for the gabillionth time).

[Maestro]

Any streams?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fair start, drifted away into dull match full of errors. Our strikers are poor. Swansalona not so good tonight, luckily for our lads at the back.

[Power n Glory]

Wenger is a tit for that move.

[Marc Overmars]

Our first halves are always shit.

Trophy cabinet comment opens up the second half. Swansea great though.

[hymppi]

[Niall_Quinn]

****ish commentator now commenting on chav match instead.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crisis developing at Arsenal over tickets sold. Commentators hired to talk about it instead of match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo puts it wide! Gah.

[Niall_Quinn]

Penalty. Should be called back. Really fucking stupid the player has to go down to get the advantage. Nothing to be gained from not cheating. And...

theo :doh:

[hymppi]

Fucking Feo

[Globalgunner]

Walcott would be a triffic striker...in an alternate universe

[Niall_Quinn]

Sometimes Cazorla, just over the bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There's Cazorla trying to pass it in to the goal again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud decides to blast it first time, rather than try to cut it back.

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud decides to blast it first time, rather than try to cut it back.

He can't do the easy stuff so he's having a bash at the hard stuff.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Absolutely awful from Graham. :lol:

Walcott would be a triffic striker...in an alternate universe

Ah the old £5k per week for my agent making the ball swerve routine. :rolleyes:

[Maestro]

come on arsenal

[fakeyank]

Cant wait for Ramsey to come on and change the course of the game for Swansea..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful from Theo.

[Niall_Quinn]

So poor by Theo.

[Maestro]

did theo just run out that ball?

[Niall_Quinn]

So poor by Giroud.

[Maestro]

£100k/week????????????

[Niall_Quinn]

TV does really well but Giroud is just a fucking slow coach really. I wonder who would win a race between him, Merts and a brick.

[Maestro]

ohh come on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud heads, wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good cross by jack. Our strikers nowhere.

Giroud manages to miss the barn door again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agustien off, Pablo on.

[Globalgunner]

sagna deplying his "thou shalt not pass" form of 3 seasons ago there. Good play

[Özim]

Sh*t header by Giroud.

[Niall_Quinn]

ohh come on

Both get a ten yard start on the brick, did I mention?

[Injury Time]

TV does really well but Giroud is just a fucking slow coach really. I wonder who would win a race between him, Merts and a brick.

The brick would out smart them both tbf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Guzman off, Ki on.

[Niall_Quinn]

The brick would out smart them both tbf

Continental drift would carry it past the finish while the other two were taking care of preliminary contract renegotiations.

Jack with another run and shot, deflected.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gah, well done initially though Wheelchair.

[Maestro]

Both get a ten yard start on the brick, did I mention?

brick wins it, hands down. don't mention to wenget that a brick is cheaper than both, lest we end up in the constructon business.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Graham GHELs it off the line.

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible misses by two of our asses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Britton clears it off the line now!

[Maestro]

Action Jack unlucky

[Gooner23]

Nice accuracy from Theo there, hitting it in the one place he couldn't score

[Niall_Quinn]

Great stuff by Gibbs, Giroud breaks it up and gets it safely to their keeper.

It was Theo who missed the sitter. Giroud fucks up again.

[Maestro]

Jesus, our front line is shite

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus, our front line is shite

But they have spirit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Diaby still playing?

[Niall_Quinn]

Is that Michu getting ready to come on?

[Maestro]

But they have spirit.

light a match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least it was a firm strike by Giroud this time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud with a turn and shot. Awful but a lot better.

[Globalgunner]

Is Diaby still playing?

Pls give him a break, He is keeping Ramsey from appearing on the wing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo all on his own, steps inside and curls it wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

light a match

With all the methane in the air? Thierry Walnut fluffs it again.

[Maestro]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Graham off, Michu on.

:rose:

[fakeyank]

Walcott is so shit today :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Pls give him a break, He is keeping Ramsey from appearing on the wing.

He's been on a break for the last three seasons.

[Gooner23]

Michu on, 1-0 Swansea it is then

[Boss]

Theo misses his third sitter :rose:

[hymppi]

Theo's finishing is just awful.Watch and learn,Michu is on.

[Maestro]

wilshere actually enjoys playing football

[Marc Overmars]

Won't be long before Michu finds himself set free. :rose:

[Globalgunner]

Baw waw! I wanna be a striker. Mean old frenchman wont let me be a striker!. can i have 100 big ones a week while i`m doing it too?. Pretty please.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should be home and dry by now but we lack a little bit clue in front of goal.

[Maestro]

sagan should be banned from crossing the ball

[Niall_Quinn]

Jack playing midfield and up front now.

[Niall_Quinn]

sagan should be banned from crossing the ball

You mean unbanned.

[Maestro]

Should be home and dry by now but we lack a little bit clue in front of goal.

at least we have little bit Clouseau as manager

[Marc Overmars]

Giroud. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm starting to think Giroud is total shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud with a chance, scuffer straight at Vorm.

[Maestro]

Wilshere is playing alone

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ki shoots, Shananay saves.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ches gets his first touch, pushes it wide.

[Maestro]

Chezzave

[Boss]

Giroud misses his second sitter.
