Bayern Munich v Arsenal 13/3/13 19:45 SS2

[Cripps_orig]

Will be an emotional game. Our last CL game for some time. No chance of going through but let's play with some pride lads.

[Marc Overmars]

No chance of restoring pride as this team doesn't even lose gloriously anymore. They're just awful.

[Joker]

Hopefully we keep the scoreline respectable.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need to keep it to single figures. Whether the lads will oblige is another matter.

[Master Splinter]

Vermaelen at left-back.

Walcott up front.

Wenget on the stat machine.

A sadly comfortable 2-0 probably.

[Cripps_orig]

Ches

Sagna Mert Verm Gibbs

Wilshere Rosicky Cazorla

Theo Ox Podolski

[fakeyank]

55-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern won again today, 0-1.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bayern might put out their reserves or women's team.

It will be embarrassing to lose that one.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Bayern won again today, 0-1.

Couldn't they save that result for us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They tried but we intervened.

[GP]

0-3

[Letters]

If we win I'll punch myself in the face and balls.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

8-0

[Ralpheroo72]

Little bit lacking in sharpness, spirit still there, so I can only see a comfortable 4-0.

[Cripps_orig]

Bayern IMO are the favourites for the whole thing.

Bayern v Real final by the looks of it if they stay away in the draw.

Man Utds defence is too shit.

Barca :lol:

No one else I would say has a decent chance.

[LDG]

Our only hope of getting ont the CL next year.

Let's **** these ****s!

31-0 to Bayern.

[bunsco]

55-0

That all!

[Letters]

It only takes a second to score a goal...

5400-0

:(

[Niall_Quinn]

Is anyone going to bother watching this?

[Marc Overmars]

Nope.

[Letters]

Nah.

Maccy, can you post every 30 seconds on this thread so I can see what happened after? Thanks.

[Cripps_orig]

Probably

Nope. A 1 or 2 nil defeat would be a respectable result IMHO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah.

Of course. And we'll win! Still go out though.

[Kano]

of course

always have to watch em, no matter how painful the end result.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Is anyone going to bother watching this?

Live? Very difficult. . .could catch the second half when I wake up. . .reay in the evening? Most pro ably yes!

Just want us to play with a bit of pride. . .nothing is impossible but EVEN I cant see us keeping a clean sheet

[Niall_Quinn]

of course

always have to watch em, no matter how painful the end result.

I'm going back to my start of season routine of deliberately missing the matches by accident. Only way to avoid embarrassment is if nobody watches them. Shower of shite. Fucking thieves the lot of them.

[LDG]

0-3

On we go.

[Marc Overmars]

1-3

Gervinho to score the winning penalty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We'll prove once and for all it's the Best League in the World!

[fakeyank]

This is going to be a rape of biblical proportions!

[Injury Time]

This is going to be a rape of biblical proportions!

I like your confidence!!

[Niall_Quinn]

1-3

Gervinho to score the winning penalty.

Forgot he plays for us.

And you reminded me. Not nice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern Munich 2-2 Fortuna Dusseldorf currently. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-2 now, Boateng. :lol:

Me. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

ARSENE WENGER will take a huge gamble against Bayern Munich — even though it could result in another Arsenal battering.
Wenger’s Gunners were taught a footballing lesson by the German giants in their Champions League last-16 first leg and went down 3-1 at home.
But the Frenchman admits he will have little option other than to go for Bayern’s throats at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Wenger said: “We have to try to gamble a little bit, go into the game in a very positive mood and get them to be a bit insecure.
“I don’t think we have to be cautious on the night.
“Bayern have such an advantage that we need a goal. If we keep it tight, they’ll always think we have to score three and, the closer it gets to the end, the more comfortable they’ll be.
“We’re chasing the game in a very difficult environment against a team that has no doubts at all.
“Our mentality is to go there, not resigned, but ambitious and provoke things — not go there and think ‘We’ll not qualify anyway’.
“We have to try to put Bayern on the back foot and the only way to do it is to be very positive from the start.
“I don’t think you can just switch it on after an hour if you have been cautious.
“When you have been cautious against a team like Bayern, you risk being 1-0 down as well.
“How will we approach it tactically? I haven’t decided yet. It will be with an ambitious plan, that is for sure.
“Yes, the chance is small but the chance makes the impossible possible. We have to try to achieve it.”
At the same stage in Europe last season, Arsenal were crushed 4-0 by AC Milan before rallying to win the second leg 3-0 at the Emirates.
Wenger said: “We will remember what we did in the second leg against Milan last year when this match arrives.
“We will fight until the very end.”

We're going to get slaughtered :(

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Sir deluded's departure can't come soon enough.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's fairly obvious we'll have to just go for it, all out attack. Our defence isn't good enough for any sort of tactical game so the task is simple, get three more goals than them even if we concede nine. Wenger says very strange things, it can't be disputed, but what he's saying here seems reasonable enough. What else can he say? This is precisely the type of game that was lost the moment RvP walked out, and Fabregas and the string of players before them. That's why the Inter triumph of years gone has no bearing on the present day but no harm trying to grab whatever inspiration is available considering the magnitude of the task. Hopefully there will be more than mere words and the team will just go for it. The team selection will tell the story. If Ramsey or Diaby are picked then it's all hot air.

More like stinky hot fart. :coffee:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

they beat us 3-1 away.

we will get slaughtered at home :rose:

[Cripps_orig]

All this talk about us going for it is all well and good but what's the betting on us conceding in the first 5 minutes?

We need to have the game of our lives combined with Bayern having the shittest game of theirs and even then it's a tall order. Why? Cos we have Wenger

[Niall_Quinn]

they beat us 3-1 away.

we will get slaughtered at home :rose:

Slightly more catastrophic than that I'm afraid. They beat us at home. We are on their patch next.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

yeah i completely failed there.

i meant they beat us 3-1 and they were away

we will get slaughtered now they are at home.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't think it will be a slaughtering because there isn't any pressure on us. We'll probably make a game of it but of course the damage is already done.

[fakeyank]

Debating whether I should still keep my calendar blocked and watch this match and see more nails in the coffin for Wenger OR open it up and accept meetings.. Former is a very exciting thought but doesnt pay me! :(

[Cripps_orig]

Robben will start then

We're fucked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's a doubt I believe. :lol:

[fakeyank]

No Robben or Ribbery?! 5-1 to Bayern then.. Thank you Allah for keeping the score down :pray:

[Syn]

Fucking failures. If I called myself a footballer, if at least make sure I was fucking good at it. These shits have no pride. Forget caring about the club, they don't care about the themselves. Money is not everything - you couldn't pay me enough to get utterly humiliated every other week.

The Munich Miracle is on!

[Niall_Quinn]

There's no Schweinsteiger, no Boateng, no Ribery and hopefully no Robben!!

Resting the first team, I suppose. Makes sense.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Read somewhere that Wilshere is out with an ankle sprain.

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah Wheelchair is out, apparently he's been in Dubai recovering from a knock.

Gibbs might be available though.

[Kano]

Ribery is out. :lol:

It's on!
sorry, it's been called off

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/9923532/Bayern-Munich-v-Arsenal-influential-midfielder-Jack-Wilshere-out-of-Champions-League-tie-with-ankle-injury.html

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL, hopefully it's not a "2 week" injury. I guess Ramsey can play there, gives us the opportunity to play some decisive square and back passes.

[Kano]

From BBC Sport's John Southall, at an Arsenal press conference this morning:

"Jack Wilshere has been ruled out for three weeks with an ankle injury, meaning he'll miss Arsenal's Champions League tie against Bayern Munich tomorrow, and England's World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro later this month."

[McNamara That Ghost...]

sorry, it's been called off

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/9923532/Bayern-Munich-v-Arsenal-influential-midfielder-Jack-Wilshere-out-of-Champions-League-tie-with-ankle-injury.html

We need goalscorers for this night so not the worst thing.

It's on!

[Kano]

We need goalscorers for this night so not the worst thing.

It's on!

It also means Diaby or Ramsey may play in the middle.

:rose:

[Cripps_orig]

Just read that Podolski will also miss this.

[IBK]

Just read that Podolski will also miss this.

Sauce?

[Niall_Quinn]

We need goalscorers for this night so not the worst thing.

It's on!

Podolski is injured so we are left with Giroud, Walcott and Gervinho. So no goal scorers unfortunately. But it's still on of course.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sauce?

Cranberry. Will go well with the stuffing.

[Kano]

rosicky surely has to start in this.

er, right?

[Injury Time]

Sauce?


Lukas Podolski revealed on Twitter that he’s got a small injury which he described as not serious but ‘very annoying’. That would go some way to explaining why his participation has been minimal in recent weeks, and I have to say that if there’s any risk we shouldn’t take it. The job against Bayern is nigh on impossible. Of course anything could happen, but it’d be foolish to chance on that when there are still 10 important league games to play.
I have to say though that I’d have him straight back into the team as soon as he is ready. His delivery from the left was a decent source for Giroud, and the fact is he was bought to provide some of the goals to make up for the loss of whatsisface. He’s done that, to an extent, and I think we’ve been somewhat unlucky that his niggle, which has affected his ability to play as often as we’d like, has coincided with Walcott and Giroud hitting something of a dry patch.

[Niall_Quinn]

rosicky surely has to start in this.

er, right?

Yes, he is full of spirit and will play at right back. Vermaelen will start at the front, some say he is not a natural striker but we have seen Henry, is he not a natural striker? Mertesacker will be playmaker in the centre, he has played 850 times for Germany and substitute 30,000 times but some will say he cannot play there. I say why not? Of course Arteta in goal, I have been manager for 700 years but still people say I will not sign my contract with Real Madrid. Fuck you, you know?

We must be sophisticated and inexplicable. We will win if the little bit pitch is top, top quality and the little bit ref is with his glasses and the little bit fixture list does not make us little bit handbrake on. At this club is it exceptional? I would say yes, perhaps, certainly. Nobody here is insane. Do we know who we will play? No, we will concentrate on our game. Is this correct football? Of course, we will always try to make money but the fans must be patient.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oops, sorry, posted my CV to the wrong site.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal make it so difficult to 'believe'.

Everyone at the club is delusional. We have players explaining how everything is perfect at the club, except the fact we win nothing. They don't know why. We have a manager who seems to genuinely believe in a team that has won nothing. We have an owner but nobody can find him. I think it would be dangerous to believe in any of this, you could get locked up and the key thrown away.

[Marc Overmars]

rosicky surely has to start in this.

er, right?

No, Diaby and Ramzi. With Gervinho thrown in for good measure.

[GP]

Chesney has been dropped.

[Munchies]

Chesney has been dropped.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/four-changes-to-squad-for-bayern-game

Just look at who's replacing him... oh

[Kano]

arshavin in :lol:

[fakeyank]

arshavin in :lol:

Interesting choice.. play him behind the striker and I am sure we will see a better player than the one who is pissed off on the wings.

[Kano]

there's a problem though. he's retired.

[Cripps_orig]

Putting Arshavin in could be a master stroke.

We have Wenger.

It's probably just a stroke

[Niall_Quinn]

Diaby will start, won't he? Which means even the ridiculously tiny sliver of desperate and unrealistic hope we had is now completely extinguished. It was close on impossible 11 vs 11, but our ten against Bayern + Diaby? No chance.

[Injury Time]

Chesney has been dropped.

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/four-changes-to-squad-for-bayern-game
Rested :blink:
Rested! :angry:
Rested? :shrug: I suppose back must be knackered from picking the ball out the back of the net in training <_<

[Marc Overmars]

If he's not carrying an injury I do wonder what the point of "resting" him is now when the season is all but dead.

[Xhaka Can’t]

He has been dropped - and quite frankly, when you have fuck all to play for, you may as well use what games you have to try new things.

Added to this, I'd now persevere with playing Theo up the middle like he wants, and if he can't get it to work or at least show signs of working, tell him to get his ass back on the wing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ches has been awful this season. Fabianski is worse. Look at our back five, it's a disgrace for a club that pulls in so much cash. If they could get away with playing kids off the street that cost a tenner a match they'd do it. Looks like our last appearance in the CL for a while will be one to remember, for all the wrong reasons.

[Kano]

hopefully it's Mannone who gets the shout, as he had a very good start to the season before Sir Fuck Up came back.

[selassie]

It aint going to be pretty tomorrow and like NQ has said, I think this could be our last CL for a while. It is sad it's come to this but as long as we are doing things the "right way", that's all that matters. :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

As it is our last CL game for a while, we should just enjoy the occasion IMO.

[Niall_Quinn]

Enjoy it as a comedy spectacle you mean? This is what I have been doing for weeks now.

[Marc Overmars]

All out attack.

Our last CL game for a while, lets go down in a blaze of glory.

Come on you Gunners.

[Cripps_orig]

I like the sound of that.

All out attack. I'm slightly worried though Bayern might put their best CB Giroud on from the start

[Niall_Quinn]

All out attack.

Our last CL game for a while, lets go down in a blaze of glory.

Come on you Gunners.

We'll at least manage to go down in a blaze, so 50% isn't bad.

Its not that our players wont try... its just that they are so shit that they just cannot win!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

i say we try passing off bergkamp as giroud and seeing how we fare

stick petit in midfield too

got fuck all to lose

[Injury Time]

Stick Adams statue in goal, Chapmans statue in front of back four, Henry statue can play down the middle (more effective than Theo), unfortunately Bergkamp statue can't fly as it's not finished :upset: but still gives us a solid spine to fit the team around...

[The Emirates Gallactico]

A goalkeeper "rested" after not playing a game for a week and a half. :lol:

It's clear Woijech has been dropped, which is probably for the best as his performances haven't been good enough thus far though why'd Wenger choose this game out of all games to do it baffles me. Not that I see us winning but conceding a cricket score isn't going to help the club in anyway at all.

It's going to be curious to see how Wenger set's up the team tonight. I know a lot of the "we can still do it" talk he was espousing yesterday was all fake bravado for the cameras but if he wants to try and get three goals we're going to be attacking from the get go which is going to leave us very vulnerable with our suicidal high back line. Things could then get bad. Real bad. Or he could have us a lot more contained and we then lose to a respectable 2 - 0 scoreline.

[Power n Glory]

It’s awful timing really. Fabs hasn’t played since Feb 2012 right? It’s a massive opportunity for him but he’s going to be nervous and I think we’ll concede early goals tonight from blunders. If this goes tits up then we’ll have to bring Szczesny back and hope his confidence hasn’t been broken for the rest of the season. I don’t think he’s been so bad that we’ve had to drop him for Fabianski, a keeper that hasn’t played all season. Almunia used to have a string of bad games and make awful blunders before getting dropped.

[PGFC]

So, it's the B team tonight then, feel sorry for the travelling fans.

[-Xs-]

I'd like to predict that we would go out and do the club proud, but then I realise we are still managed by the master of humilations. Will we lose 8-2? Little bit difficult to say. It could be double figures. It may be single. We do not speculate.

[Letters]

Joke a colleague heard on the radio this morning

Bloke 1: "What time are Arsenal kicking off tonight?"

The only thing that makes sense is that Wumger has taken into account both the scoreline and our performance of last week, realizes that the CL is all over, and trying to set things up for a 4th place league finish. Mind you, on second thoughts that would require a degree of logic from the manager - so his reasons are bound to be different, and he's probably deluded enough to think we can win this...

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Heard ITV mentioned in their coverage last night that there is no English team left in the CL.

****s.

[Marc Overmars]

Not sure they said that but I remember the commentators alluding to the likely prospect of there being no English interest after this round.

[Özim]

They didn't say that as such actually, they did say we're still in it but effectively as good as out (not in those exact words).

In short noone thinks we have a hope, can't blame them, we don't.

[fakeyank]

I would think that we would be favorites to go out even if we had the invincibles in their prime! And with this bunch of clowns, its not even mission impossible, there is no freaking mission... our players are just going into an open battlefield where they will be shot at. Bayern dont even need to get out of first gear... in fact, they dont even need to start the car! :(

A very, very wise choice. Why ask the question? Because it honestly doesn't matter what XI are out there tonight. I would think of the away fans, but unless their preference for a 2-0 loss hugely outweighs that of a 4-0 loss, which I dont think it does, it really doesn't matter.

[Özim]

You gotta love Wenger, he screws up big time in every possible way in the 1st leg and rather than try and put it right he adds insult to injury by playing a weakened team when we've got nothing decent left to play for this season.

What an arse. :doh:

It would be Karma if we did ok in this game and got our arses handed to us by Swansea in our next game.

Well I'm off out. When I come back we'll be 0-3 up.

Come on Arsenal.

[Kano]

A very, very wise choice. Why ask the question? Because it honestly doesn't matter what XI are out there tonight. I would think of the away fans, but unless their preference for a 2-0 loss hugely outweighs that of a 4-0 loss, which I dont think it does, it really doesn't matter.
you're wrong but i'll let you off just this once.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Rmasey :ilt:

[Power n Glory]

Not sure why he doesn't go with Ox on the left and Cazorla in the middle with Rosicky. We really need some attackers willing to take risks, take on their man and cause some problems on the flanks. Have a feeling we'll play another conservative game. Ramsey can either have a decent performance or play shit it won't be spectacular. Theo has to stay wide and try to stretch play. If he plays on the shoulder of his man all game and close to Giroud he'll get no service. I just hope it's not a predictable performance from these guys again.

[Cripps_orig]

If we win this and go through, we're winning the whole thing. You heard it here first.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger. :lol:

Paraphrasing slightly but "fantastic mentality but not in the big games".

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mad Jens. :bow:

[milla]

Mad Jens. :bow:

Mad Jens :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Come on you Gunners. :scarf:

Destroy those Nazi bastards.

[Power n Glory]

So glad he's dropped Vermaelen.

I think Wenger focusses far too much on the psychology of his players and football. Also, I think Souness has a point, I wasn't convinced about what he said when it comes to us training on defence everyday. He practically said that you can't prepare for such things on match day because the game is quicker and it's all about making the right decision then and there. True to an extent but it looks as if our defence have no clue of how they should be organised at all as if they just have to play as individuals. Again, too much emphasis on the mental state of his players.

[hymppi]

This will be the last match for us in CL for a year or two. Let's enjoy this.

[fakeyank]

If we win this and go through, we're winning the whole thing. You heard it here first.

There is more chance of US Fiscal deficit to be wiped out in a single day than us going through today!

[fakeyank]

This will be the last match for us in CL for a decade or two. Let's enjoy this.

Just corrected your little mistake

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta is an international? News to me Jamie.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

This will be the last match for us in CL for a year or two. Let's enjoy this.

Naah, have faith; we're landing 4th again come end of season.

The scum will bottle it, this I'm sure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music. :bow:

Stop talking over it you berks.

[hymppi]

We're not going to get the 4th spot this season.
I just hope it's not going to last a decade to get back to CL like fakeyank said. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

There is more chance of US Fiscal deficit to be wiped out in a single day than us going through today!

Keep the faith

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Mertesacker :lol:

In full slo mo just now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!!!

[hymppi]

Giroud!

[fakeyank]

:yikes:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Giroud!!!

Get in!

[Power n Glory]

Come on you bitches!

[GP]

GIROUDDDD!!!

What a player! :bow:

It's on!

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Its fucking on!

[Özim]

Walcott f*cks up shot but it goes to Giroud who scores!!!!!

[Cripps_orig]

Theo with another assist

What a player

Giroud :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kroos goes for goal, Fabianski saves.

[Power n Glory]

Walcott f*cks up shot but it goes to Giroud who scores!!!!!

It's a driven cross the same sort of goal Ronaldo scored. You drive it hard and low in those situations.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Just 2 more and keep a clean sheet.

Come on Arsenal. :scarf:

[Power n Glory]

Clean tackle, ref!

[Özim]

Goal hasn't affected Bayern, they still look assured and confidence.

[Özim]

It's a driven cross the same sort of goal Ronaldo scored. You drive it hard and low in those situations.
Looked like a shot going wide to me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bad miss from Gustavo.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Goal hasn't affected Bayern, they still look assured and confidence.

Which side are you on?

[Özim]

Which side are you on?
What do you mean, just stating a fact that they looked pretty confident and unruffled by the goal.

They did go behind twice and won at the weekend tho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How was BFG going to score going in like that? :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Just keep it tight and who's knows?

LETS FUCKING DO THIS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pitch is like a skating rink.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

What do you mean, just stating a fact that they looked pretty confident and unruffled by the goal.

They did go behind twice and won at the weekend tho.

Yeah, same as how you called Theo's assist a messed up strike. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not Ramsey's best minute.

[Power n Glory]

That's twice now Ramsey!

[Cripps_orig]

Hope we don't go in to half time 2 up

[hymppi]

Passing is bloody atrocious.

[Özim]

Yeah, same as how you called Theo's assist a messed up strike. :lol:
It was.

[Power n Glory]

Giving the ball away cheaply and inviting pressure.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah, same as how you called Theo's assist a messed up strike. :lol:

Something that poster Joshgooner would say

[Cripps_orig]

It was.

Shot or not, he did the right thing in going across goal

[Özim]

Shot or not, he did the right thing in going across goal
Not really debating that one, if he hadn't we wouldn't have scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We keep going for a line out I think.

[Power n Glory]

Come on Caz!!! We need to calm down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shite cross from Alaba.

[GP]

Passing is poor. We're not going to see that much of the ball so we need to do more with it.

[fakeyank]

:lol:

Why are we debating Theos intention on the goal? Fuck it, we scored... I dont care if he intended or not.. I'd take a goal from the dick of a goat atm!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We've done it again. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible effort from Javi Martinez.

[Power n Glory]

Where is the pressure from our boys? Way to generous with the space we're giving them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kroos shoots, Fabianski well behind it.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Something that poster Joshgooner would say

Who? :shrug:

[Power n Glory]

Arteta with a tame clearance. Could have been costly. Rosicky giving the ball away again...we're inviting pressure.

[GP]

Well done Fab.

We are sloppy as fuck

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenkinson. :bow:

[Power n Glory]

Well done Jenko!

[hymppi]

Jenkinson played that well

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Brilliant there from Jenks.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Passing has been very sloppy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a waste from Theo.

[GP]

Brilliant GHELkers

[Özim]

Robben royally f*cked that up and Jeno sweeps up.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

:lol:

Why are we debating Theos intention on the goal? Fuck it, we scored... I dont care if he intended or not.. I'd take a goal from the dick of a goat atm!

Theo's dick is big and all but I don't think it's good enough to score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greedy Balding Twat puts it wide. Well wide.

[Özim]

Bayern seeing too much of the ball, they keep looking for the shot on the edge of the area....if we keep letting them have it they'll knock one of these in eventually.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Are we down a man or two here?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody hell BFG.

[Master Splinter]

Everything is so much quicker with Rosicky playing.

GHELkers playing well again.

Time to sub them off.

Robben is shit.

[Özim]

Mertersacker great ball to Muller.

[Gooner23]

All our players have caught Ramsitus, can't bloody pass!

Pressure growing, we need to try and get hold of the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo plays it across goal again, Giroud just a bit behind this one.

[GP]

Close that

[Özim]

Good cross by Walcott this time, just out of reach of Giroud.

[Master Splinter]

Theo on the right and he's effective.

Time to push him up front.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Arteta :bow:

Roughing up the Nazis

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Just needed to be a bit faster.

Still, Giroud's performances have been some of the few good things this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :doh:

Gibbs clears it up, though behind for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vermaelen warming up, Gibbs probably injured again.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Oh dear.

Vermaelen warming up.

:rose:

[Master Splinter]

Gibbs :upset:.

Stick the Coq in instead.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

GET INVOLVED

Ashley Hall: "I think Diaby is needed to give the midfield some steal. Bring off Rosicky."

Tom Miszkowski: "I get the feeling Bayern could turn it on at any moment."

George Thomas: "My mate's admitted that, if Arsenal qualify tonight, he will run round the block in his boxers. Regret beginning to set in?"

Shows how much twitter knows.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bit of a sore one for Bif.

[Power n Glory]

He's been fucked!

[Gooner23]

Wenger sends Bouldy on with the water bottles, good to see the assissant manager working for his money.

[Cripps_orig]

What does Bif mean?

[GP]

Wenger sends Bouldy on with the water bottles, good to see the assissant manager working for his money.

Assistant to the manager.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Giroud's still limping.

Hope he'll be ok.

[hymppi]

Assistant to the manager.
:lol:

[fakeyank]

What does Bif mean?

:gp:

Now that we are asking qs, what does BFG mean?

[Gooner23]

:lol:

He'll be sending him out to Costa at half time

[GP]

:gp:

Now that we are asking qs, what does BFG mean?

Big Fucking German.

[Thierrymon]

Arteta is having a good game so far. Ref is being pretty harsh on him though.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ramsey :haha:

He's awful.

[GP]

Good little spell this.

[GP]

Gibbs booked for a great tackle

[hymppi]

:gp:

Now that we are asking qs, what does BFG mean?
Big Fucking German?
