Tottenham Hotspurs v Arsenal Sunday 3rd March 16:00 SS1

[Cripps_orig]

Need to keep Bale quiet

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

3-2

[Özil's Panoramic View]

A must win game here if we're to avoid Thurday night footie come next season.

The scums will definitely be seen as the favourites as they currently have that CR7 wannabe having the season of his life, and are perceived to be in better form than us atm.

I'm expecting their over-confidence to be their undoing though, along with the much overlooked fact that they haven't been that good at home this season, scoring a paltry 20 goals (bettered by the likes of Reading) whilst conceding 13.

Hopefully, it will be a routing as we put those turdbags to the sword.

Fake Ronaldo and donkey face Adebayor to share their 2 flukes.

Giroud, Walnut, Cathorla and Poldi picking them off with our 6.

[GP]

0-3

[Niall_Quinn]

Regardless of the 4th spot, we better win this one. The club owes the fans at least this much after a shit soaked season. Wilshere and Sagna will need to drag us through this one as they understand what this match means to the fans.Don't care if it's 1-0 or 7-6 as long as we win it.

[Marc Overmars]

Draw at best.

1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

These games are mental. 4-5.

[Letters]

I seriously don't think I can stand to watch this.
What MO said, we've got no chance of winning there. I'd take a point right now.
It's not a must win if we're to get 4th but it's certainly a must not lose. We're capable of getting a draw but whether we will or not... :upset:

[GP]

We're capable of winning there. Of course we are.

Man up, ffs.

[Marc Overmars]

We're capable of a lot of things.

[GP]

We're capable of a lot of things.

Nah.

It's an absolute must win, lose this and 4th is gone for sure. There's no massively over-rated twitch to fuck things up this time. We won't catch them if we lose this six pointer. Look at the difference it would have made if we'd have even drawn against the chavs. That match has significantly altered the table. Same goes for this match. we better fucking win it. Just get one thing right this season. Not much to ask. If they can't do this they can fuck off.

Of course the ref will play a big part too so even a good performance might not cut it.

[Letters]

We're capable of winning there. Of course we are.

Man up, ffs.
They haven't lost at all in the league since December 9th and that was away.
They've only lost 2 home league games all season, Chelsea and Wigan - the last of those being on the 3rd November.

We've won 5 away league games. Liverpool who have been all over the shop this season and only won 3 of their first 14 games this year, the other 4 games have been against West Ham, Reading, Wigan and Sunderland; all of whom are 13th or lower. We've not beaten a decent side away all season.

In brief :ilt:

[Master Splinter]

It's an absolute must win, lose this and 4th is gone for sure.

Rafa is still here tbf.

[Letters]

It's an absolute must win, lose this and 4th is gone for sure.
Nah.

Agree we won't catch them if we lose but a draw wouldn't be a disaster. Their 6 games after that are:

Liverpool away
Fulham home
Swansea City away
Everton home
Chelsea away
Manchester City home

They're going to drop plenty of points there.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Baleadona has come out giving it large about their superior on paper team. That doesn't usually end well for them.

It's about momentum. We win and we'll catch them. Lose and we're done. These are the games seasons turn on. Anyway, if they listen to that monkey bastard going on in the papers I trust they have an ounce of pride to put that right. Does anyone care about any other game after this? This is the last game that matters a damn as far as I'm concerned.

[Marc Overmars]

First lets hope West Ham can do us a favour tomorrow.

[Master Splinter]

Chamakh will mash the Spuds.

[Injury Time]

Wenger out! Oops sorry not the match reaction thread. Little bit losing this one.

[Ollie the Optimist]

These ****s better be up for it this week. Another 5-2 would be nice but it will be a draw

[selassie]

Massive game for us this. I personally feel we need 3 points here, we win and I can see us cementing top 4 and those "noisy neighbours" imploding.

A draw wouldn't be a disaster, but we're running out of games so we really should be going there to pick up the points.

My prediction, well personally I don't see us getting anything more than a point out of the game.

[PGFC]

:d Spoke to some tame spuds today, digging them about us being the underdogs for this one and found out they're mostly all terrified of this game :pal: mind the gap!

[Grebbo]

I just wish we had a team that could keep it tight but there's no way we'll keep a clean sheet.

We'll just have to hope that our forwards are on form.

I'd take a draw now tbh. Keeps them close to us.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Our chances for this game have just increased in this one. Mike dean is not the ref

[Injury Time]

Our chances for this game have just increased in this one. Mike dean is not the ref

So we can't blame the ref? Losing fairly? :sick:

[Cripps_orig]

What's Mike Dean ever done to us?

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Frimpong still here or on loan? He needs to take one for the team, start him (even if he's injured) and he runs up and kicks Bale in the knackers full pelt. Job done, we'll be down to ten they'll be down to zero. Should be an easy 3 points after that. All we need to do is make Frimpong memorise a picture of Bale so he doesn't end up booting Jack. Or Diaby can play there too.

[Kano]

frimpong is at fulham

even if we win this, we have the right attitude to make sure we fuck it up in subsequent weeks.

[Niall_Quinn]

frimpong is at fulham

Of course, of course. But a double over the spuds is a good season by our standards. It's unambitious to expect more, in the PHW sense, and we know the club is run the right way so all in all things are very positive and I want to feel proud to be part of this club. (Did I get it right?)

[IBK]

Pretty much. A little bit sarcasm though, when you should be counting yourself lucky to be an Arsenal fan.

[Maestro]

We'll win if I make my 1000th post in this thread, during the match.

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll win if I make my 1000th post in this thread, during the match.

9 x Theo :doh: plus finger on the trigger should do it.

[IBK]

9 x Theo :doh: plus finger on the trigger should do it.

Or :angry: Theo would do it, I think.

Lawro goes for 1-2 :o

Tottenham v Arsenal (16:00 GMT)

The north London derby was a pivotal clash in the battle to be top dog between Tottenham and Arsenal last season, when the Gunners came back from 2-0 down to win 5-2 at Emirates Stadium in February.
It is the same again this season and, although this time the game is at White Hart Lane and Spurs are on a fantastic run, I am going to throw the cat amongst the pigeons because again I am backing Arsenal to come out on top.
The Gunners have had a couple of poor results in the FA Cup and Champions League but in fairness they have had some good results in the league and have won four and drawn one of their last five games.
Arsene Wenger's side are in fifth and you look above them and they are only two points behind a Chelsea side who have got problems of their own, and four points behind Spurs. Obviously that gap will be reduced if Arsenal win on Sunday.
Lawro's prediction: 1-2


Lawro :bow:

Also Piers Morgan is awesome

[Letters]

He pulled that prediction straight out of his arse

[milla]

:haha:

[Munchies]

Also Piers Morgan is awesome

His tweets when we're losing/drawing are pretty funny :blah:

[Munchies]

Patrick Vieira ‏@OfficialVieira

This might be the most important game of the season; a win is crucial today. I'm with you 100% and will be watching. Good luck. #arsenal

Just saw his goal in the 5-4 on ESPN Classic aswell :bow:

What's the score now? 2-0 down already? :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MOTD's Jonathan Pearce at White Hart LaneTottenham v Arsenal (1600 GMT)

"The dramatic recent history of this famous old clash would suggest it is impossible to predict. There have been 33 goals in the last six meetings. Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas knows a victory will propel his team a huge way towards the Champions League, leaving rivals Arsenal seven points adrift of their arch-rivals with 10 games to play. It's very difficult to see Arsenal's flimsy defence holding Spurs at bay. They've kept just one clean sheet in 13 games against top six or Champions League opposition this season."

This is getting silly now. Exactly how many clean sheets have the Spuds kept against top six or Champions League opposition this season? Oh yeah that's right, the big goose egg. None.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme for Super Bale Sunday is on now.

[GP]

We have the best defence away from home in the league.

lol

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like we are going to thrash the spuds statistically today. Hope we beat them on goals too. That would be even better.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We have the best defence away from home in the league.

lol

Bould. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Clattenburg refs. I'll take that.

Jamie Redknapp is thick as shit.

Time to stand up and be counted.

Come on Arsenal. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jamie Redknapp is thick as shit.

Yup. It's genetics.

Lu lu lu Lucas Podolski is officially a benchwarmer.

Ramsey is on the starting line up, advance 1-0 to Spurs. :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bill from Plymouth: "This is the biggest six pointer I have ever known."

Bigger than Plymouth vs Exeter?

What a moran.

[Cripps_orig]

Does our season end today?

Defeat and yes

Draw and yes

Win and yes

[Niall_Quinn]

Have these pundits ever said anything even the thickest fan couldn't already figure out? Basically they sit there and get paid for saying, crucial game, could go either way. Just fuck them out the door and donate their ill gotten gains to charity.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bale mania is in full swing now. A player who has done nothing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defeat and yes

Draw and yes

Win and yes

As a great man once said: no.

[Cripps_orig]

Bale mania is in full swing now. A player who has done nothing.

Scored a hat trick in Milan once

[Niall_Quinn]

Those spud fans all look inbred.

Because they are, I suppose.

[Niall_Quinn]

Scored a hat trick in Milan once

Danny Rose once scored a goal. So what?

[Cripps_orig]

Danny Rose once scored a goal. So what?

Rose :lol:

What happened to him? Has he played since?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Most of the pundits are ex-footballers and thus they mainly come from a cliché ridden background.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Rose :lol:

What happened to him? Has he played since?

He plays for Sunderland :rose:

All these Spurs wondergoal merchants are now battling relegation someplace or other.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They actually quite rate him at Sunderland but that's relative to him playing for Sunderland I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif Sexy giving instructions.

:bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Where's our fucking captain?

I think you're trying to ape Coney, trying to get laughs any which way you can.

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey starts. God help us. Wenger truly is blind a game where you need players with pace who wont give the ball away, he pics a player who does both

So you'e saying Ramsey has pace?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Stop hugging guys FFS!

[Master Splinter]

I fear WUMger has conceded the game (or the draw) again with his lack of Podolski and the utterly ineffective (so far this season) 4-man midfield.

Time for GHELkers to save us.

[Munchies]

Haven't checked if this is behind or anything, but a skysports stream if anyone needs it:
http://www.epl424.org/channel-37.php

[Cripps_orig]

A chance to play 4-4-2

Theo and Giroud up front

Means Ramsey out wide though

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was that really a 'wall of noise'?

I think Chamberlain little bit overestimated.

[milla]

Where's our fucking captain?

http://www.8daysageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/captain_crunch.jpg

[GP]

Andre Santos says: Good luck gays!

[Munchies]

Why is Cazorla out wide >>>

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Statisticians Opta: "No fixture has seen more goals scored in Premier League history than those between Tottenham and Arsenal (121 goals in 41 games)"

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

This is the best derby in England by far

Manc derby, Mersey side derby pale in significance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Tactics.

Giroud to shoot at the goal instead of around, over and under it.

Walcott to run past rather than into the opposition.

Ramsey to kick Bale.

Arteta to pass forward.

Jack to set fire to BSP and piss on his frazzled corpse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clattenburg. :lol:

Just give the foul straight away.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pub start. 100mph. No skill.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balenaldo time out wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible defending.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dawson throws himself at it but a) doesn't make contact and was b) offside.

[Cripps_orig]

Good line there

[GP]

Still 0-0 :scarf:

[Munchies]

An early goal will silence those twits

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey kills us. So negative, by instinct.

[Özim]

Noone playing Bale special attention on our side apparently :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking hate Ramsey. Get a grip you bastard!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good cross by Jenkinson.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great by Jenks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud takes the header near post, easy for Lloris.

[GP]

Nice effort from Giroud

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walker. :lol:

Cazorla. :bow:

[Özim]

Walker runs past our entire team :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey killed that attack

[Master Splinter]

Wolfcheer needs to get rid of his inner Kleb and shoot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good thing Bif was offside, completely fluffed the strike.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wasted effort from Theo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kick and rush from Bale. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get a shot away Bif!

[Niall_Quinn]

And that's why Giroud isn't good enough.

[Cripps_orig]

Giroud is so slow ffs

Get Pod on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey very nearly got around Lloris.

[Newguy]

that's why i think we need a more clinical striker...Come on Giroud

[Özim]

Not been a bad start so far.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're competing. That's the main thing. 90 mins of it required.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BSP. :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

All us atm

Spuds favourites to score first

[Master Splinter]

Lack little bit final ball/finish at the moment. Just some composure needed.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Playing well so far, barring being clueless in the attacking 3rd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenkinson's cross turns in to a shot on target.

[Master Splinter]

General Parker :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great tackle from Vermaelen!

Too much from Wheelchair.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade booked.

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Ade booked

[Özim]

Barndoor at it again!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

SEND HIM OFF!

Fucking pos, Ade.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale would've been onside, ball goes away though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott in the middle is a total waste.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible corner from Theo.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Why is Theo taking corners?

[Cripps_orig]

Walcott in the middle is a total waste.

Agreed

Just the 18 goals is pathetic

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clatternburg is a poser.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref penalises us for the spuds dwelling on the ball.

[Niall_Quinn]

Agreed

Just the 18 goals is pathetic

He didn't get 18 from the middle and half of those were +1s. How many headers do you think he's winning up there?

None.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Monreal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lennon nearly bundled his way past.

Us defending a corner. :(

[Cripps_orig]

He didn't get 18 from the middle and half of those were +1s. How many headers do you think he's winning up there?

None.
18 goals makes a mockery of whatever you will say

Lets get back to the match shall we?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive from Ade!

[GP]

Ade :doh:

Should be off

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ade dives - no yellow.

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible dive from cheatabayor and he should be off. Ref bottled it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Parker. :haha:

[Özim]

Barndoor dives

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Theo too quick for our players

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vertonghen booked. :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

Vertonghen booked

[Munchies]

Theo should hold the ball up, no one is there for his crosses.

Need Wilshere to get in the game more.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo too quick for our players

Yes, it was a typically shit cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Ramsey goes and gets booked straight after.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey booked

[Xhaka Can’t]

Knew our next foul would be a booking.

1st class referreeing.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ramsey booked rather cheaply.

[Niall_Quinn]

Two yellows passed up for them, immediate yellow for us. Happens all the time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shite from Balenaldo.

[Cripps_orig]

Yes, it was a typically shit cross.

Fuck load of assists makes a mockery of whatever you will say

Lets get back to the match shall we?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ball to nothing in from Ramsey.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dire from Ramsey.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Just fuck off Ramsey.

What kinda half arsed crossing is that?

[Cripps_orig]

Just fuck off Ramsey.

What kinda half arsed crossing is that?

It was an Arsenal cross

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great play from us.

[Maestro]

did someone throw a banana at monkey boy

[gunnerrrrr]

Just fuck off Ramsey.

What kinda half arsed crossing is that?

Ramsey is the clear stand out shit player

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud too slow.

[gunnerrrrr]

Giroud too slow.

He's dreadful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vertonghen. :lol:

Hollywood ball straight out of play.

[Master Splinter]

Whalechair has been sloppy.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our play in the final third is killing us. Absolutely nothing offered from Giroud and Walcott - and proper shit crosses too.

Otherwise, not a bad performance.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

FUCK!

[Cripps_orig]

Bale does it again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Bale.

Stupid from Shznzny telling everyone to go up front so he could punt it up.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wonderful defending.

[fakeyank]

:rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking die you monkey ****.

Our defenders are so shit it's unbelievable.

[Özim]

Magic man Bale does it again

[gunnerrrrr]

Fucking awful all round from us

[gunnerrrrr]

I can't even explain how shit Giroud is

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Of all the ****s, it had to be the chimp.

Dreadful, dreadful defending by our CB's.

[Cripps_orig]

So simple

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Lennon.

[Niall_Quinn]

Our play in the final third is killing us. Absolutely nothing offered from Giroud and Walcott - and proper shit crosses too.

Otherwise, not a bad performance.

Replace Ramsey, Giroud and Walcott with some quality and we'd be all over these bastards.

Game over, btw.

[fakeyank]

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Arsenal. :haha:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Oh dear.

[Power n Glory]

Fucking shoot me!

[Özim]

Lennon 2-0

[Xhaka Can’t]

Any chance we'll ever defend such a simple pass?

[Newguy]

It's over...

[gunnerrrrr]

Takeover can't come quick enough

[Özim]

Wenger you f*cking pr*ck get the f*ck out of our club!

[Niall_Quinn]

Add vermaelen and that useless turd Merts as well, of course. They are literally hopeless.

[Cripps_orig]

Arabs can't come fast enough

Please save us

[fakeyank]

Yes, play a high line when you have slow donkeys at the back... brilliant coaching!

[Özim]

Takeover can't come quick enough
:goodpost: Hopefully they bring a very large boot with them to kick the manager out on his arse.

[Master Splinter]

Why do keepers always come so far out anyway?

Just stay on your line for once.

GHELkers the only decent defender so far.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

2-5 is on tbf

[Cripps_orig]

My first look at Monreal

a bit shit

wenger does it again

[Niall_Quinn]

another 5-2 coming up. It's on.

[Özim]

My first look at Monreal

a bit shit

wenger does it again
Yeah rubbish defending, another one to add to the growing list.

[Marc Overmars]

Beaten by the same pass twice, the defence are awful.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Sigh.


High line with no midfield pressure is always asking for trouble against slow defenders.



Can Lightining strike three times?

[Niall_Quinn]

Why do keepers always come so far out anyway?

Just stay on your line for once.

GHELkers the only decent defender so far.

Best winger and striker too. He should get 3 wages, or at least theo and girouds wages.

[Özim]

2nd place is still possible.

[Cripps_orig]

Spuds have also played a high line.

Difference is we have no one who can play the quality through ball

And if it does happen, we have a lump called Giroud

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref doesn't fancy us, does he?

[gunnerrrrr]

Sideways sideway sideways

[gunnerrrrr]

2nd place is still possible.

In north lomdon

[Özim]

Ref doesn't fancy us, does he?
Don't blame him, we're sh*t.

[fakeyank]

May be this will be the final nail in the coffin for Wenger. Thats the only positive I can see this dire scenario

[Cripps_orig]

We need goals

No urgency shown

[Newguy]

Theo needs to stick to there flanks and work harder, just because he wants to be a striker doesnt give the luxury of doing fuck all when we don't have the ball....hes just waiting for through balls and if they don't come just trods on at least giroud is crap but getting stuck in....

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't blame him, we're sh*t.

He just needs to worry about the rules whether we are shit or not.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo needs to stick to there flanks and work harder, just because he wants to be a striker doesnt give the luxury of doing fuck all when we don't have the ball....hes just waiting for through balls and if they don't come just trods on at least giroud is crap but getting stuck in....

He's dogshit and so is Ramsey.

Proper lost it he has ... Years of complacency and living in the past/excuses has caught up in a huge way

[Özim]

He just needs to worry about the rules whether we are shit or not.
He has, just saying we're sh*t we've deserved everything we've got so far.

[Power n Glory]

Theo needs to stick to there flanks and work harder, just because he wants to be a striker doesnt give the luxury of doing fuck all when we don't have the ball....hes just waiting for through balls and if they don't come just trods on at least giroud is crap but getting stuck in....

Was just about to post that. Where's his head at? He can't keep playing of the shoulder of the defenders. He needs to drop back and work the flanks. He's doing f all right now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Just how bad is Ramsey? New superlatives required.

[Power n Glory]

He's dogshit and so is Ramsey.

Ramsey has been okay today. The midfield hasn't been bad, Wilshere maybe needs to see the pass earlier and get some accuracy on the final ball.

[Cripps_orig]

2-0 HT

Dog shite

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 HT.

[Özim]

Half time.

Disaster.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Half time.

Disaster.

Full time would be a disaster tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski and Rosicky on.

Tell Theo to play in the position where he's actually effective.

One goal back would change the game.

[Özim]

You can say what you like about Wilshere, but he's done f*ck all today...Cazorla has been out brightest spark.

Defence awful, up front awful.

Nice 5 yard passing in defence tho.

[Power n Glory]

Fucking Wenger about he doesn't need to focus on Bale. Like hell you do! What a shambolic display of defending.

To be fair none of our attack has really stood out. Can't really pick on Ramsey, Theo or any of the other scapegoats today. In fact going in at half time at 0 - 0 would have been acceptable.

Problem as usual as it has been for most of Wenger's regime is the defence. Two simple, Fifa through balls, two goals.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey is shite but he's been better than Arteta, Wilshere and Cazorla today

[Cripps_orig]

You can say what you like about Wilshere, but he's done f*ck all today...Cazorla has been out brightest spark.

Yeah he's not as good as he's made out to be.

Biggest myth we have?

[Özim]

Full time would be a disaster tbf.
We've not won at WHL since 2007 FYI.

[Marc Overmars]

Wenget to resign after this hopefully.

[Niall_Quinn]

We've done it to ourselves again. Spuds shit, did nothing. We opened the door wide twice.

Walcott, lazy overrated shit.
Giroud, lots of desire, no talent, so fucking slow.
Ramsey, just fuck off.
Merts, you have got to be kidding me, how dies this lump okay for us?
Vermaelen, no captain, not a clue.

We're carrying these fucks.

The kid from the lower leagues, Jenks, is our standout man. Arteta trying to keep it ticking but underpart performances from jack and Santi not helping him.

Monreal scared and out of his depth.

Even so, we had more than enough to do them but we committed suicide instead.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fucking Wenger about he doesn't need to focus on Bale. Like hell you do! What a shambolic display of defending.

To be fair, Emile Heskey would have scored with those two chances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We've not won at WHL since 2007 FYI.

In the league. Not that it means anything.

[Cripps_orig]

I guess the only question that remains is how much we will lose by

If we keep it down to a 2 goal difference, that'd be great.

[Özim]

Yeah he's not as good as he's made out to be.

Biggest myth we have?
He's a good player, but not quite the star quality some make him out to be. It's when you're in trouble that the best players step up.

He's done nothing today and given the ball away a few times, has a tendency to overrun the ball to often IMO.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Yeah he's not as good as he's made out to be.

Biggest myth we have?

Hardly. No need to say silly things - he's still by far our best prospect and most top teams would jump at the chance to have him.



Problem for him is that he's playing alongside substandard players. It's easier to shine when you have people like Cesc, RVP and Nasri alongside you.

[Niall_Quinn]

Podolski and Rosicky on.

Tell Theo to play in the position where he's actually effective.

One goal back would change the game.

Yep, Podolski for Walcott, Rosicky for that wrecker Ramsey.

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey is shite but he's been better than Arteta, Wilshere and Cazorla today

He hasn't been bad. I don't think the midfield trio has been bad. Some crappy touches from Giroud, Theo has no idea what the fuck he's doing and it's as if he's left his brain in the dressing room, Wilshere needs to speed up his passing....other than that we shouldn't be going in a 2 goals down! Bad defending for both goals. Nobody tracking the runs and bad decisions. What the heck was Verms doing for the first goal?
