Vietnam V Arsenal

[Dicks and chicks]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/59/VFF2008.png/200px-VFF2008.png vs http://www.flagseller.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/arsenal-poster.jpg

expect star striker Nguyen Quang Hai to be available. Vietnam are in poor form having lost their opening 2 asian cup qualifiers against the UAE 2-1, and Hong Kong. No excuses for Arsene Wenger's men we got to get a result here, even though we are playing against an entire country.

Wenger. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Must win

[LDG]

Smells like.............Ramsey

[Dicks and chicks]

Smells like.............Ramsey

we won't win if we play ramsey.

[Letters]

America got a score draw didn't they?
Come on Arsenal :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lovely money! That's what we like.

Is there a match too?

Assuming Gibbs gets injured in this who do we have at LB these days?

[GP]

Must beat those Slopes.

[Syn]

Really hoping Wenger picks:

-----------------Cesar-------------------

Ivanovic----Williams----Jagielka------Ginter

-----------Bender-----Barry--------------

Nani------------Fellaini-------------Grenier

----------------Suarez------------------

[Kano]

the last set of gunners that went out there didn't fare too well.

[Letters]

We'll probably put out quite a young side.
I wonder what the average age will be...

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh no...

[LDG]

Oh n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no

What age are you FFS?

[LDG]

Older than the average age of an American soldier in the Vietnam war, tbf.

[Dicks and chicks]

We'll probably put out quite a young side.
I wonder what the average age will be...
do we actually have any good young players left?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Destruction of men and their minds.

[Dicks and chicks]

Destruction of men and their minds.
dicks and chicks

[Injury Time]

Destruction of men and their minds.


dicks and chicks
Pretty sure you have neither of those tbf

[Ralpheroo72]

I'm in Vietnam at the minute, heat here is unreal, 90% humidity and 34 degrees. I got chafe just walking to the bar.

[Ralpheroo72]

Oh yeah, avoid street food, and water.

[Niall_Quinn]

When is this shite waste of time money grabbing stung being played?

[Syn]

1959.

Know your history you JCL.

[Dicks and chicks]

When is this shite waste of time money grabbing stung being played?

LOL

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

8-2

[Dicks and chicks]

8-2

god that was a shit match to watch.

[Niall_Quinn]

8-2

Fucking hell, that's embarrassing. Who got our two goals?

[GP]

Garrett Barry

[Master Splinter]

The Biglia and Barry partnership looked good though.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Fucking hell, that's embarrassing. Who got our two goals?

bischoff and charlie.

[Dicks and chicks]

lol does anyone care about this match?

[LDG]

lol does anyone care about this match?

As it's on at midday, and I'm at work, I shall be taking a keen interest.

[Niall_Quinn]

lol does anyone care about this match?

Gazidis and Kroenke are keen, apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Szczesny; Jenkinson, Sagna, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta, Rosicky, Gnabry; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski; Giroud.

[LDG]

Sagna at CB?

Interesting ##

[Niall_Quinn]

Is my ESPN broken? They seem to be showing a bunch of German goals. WTF does that have to do with Arsenal vs Vietnam?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The match is at 13:10.

[Niall_Quinn]

No wait - they are only 7 minutes late with their scheduling? Is there a delay on SkyGo or is ESPN just shite (rhetorical question)?

[Niall_Quinn]

The match is at 13:10.

They had the prog listed for 1pm though.

This is serious stuff. I'll probably go on about it for a while.

[Niall_Quinn]

25,000 fans turned up last night to see us training, apparently.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stewart Robson commentating :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh bollocks, Stewart Robson co-commentating.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They had the prog listed for 1pm though.

This is serious stuff. I'll probably go on about it for a while.

They are dim. The Arsenal site always had the match time at 13:10. They just don't do their research anymore.

[Niall_Quinn]

They are dim. The Arsenal site always had the match time at 13:10. They just don't do their research anymore.

Should we create a separate thread for this or just talk about it here?

[Niall_Quinn]

Nutty bloke who ran after the bus is a TV celeb now. Plus he has claimed asylum.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think we've long passed the need to keep things on topic.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think we've long passed the need to keep things on topic.

Wenger out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Of the dugout. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Vietnam controlling possession (says Robson after 50 seconds)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can't find the Vietnam team news anywhere. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Think one of them is called Hwang, I'll remember that.

[Niall_Quinn]

This lot look a little better than the Indonesians. Around 100 times better.

[Cripps_orig]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good defending from Poldi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Who's playing centre back for us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Finally Giroud does something. 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud still wants to try the outlandish.

[Niall_Quinn]

Close by Giroud. 1 mile wide.

[PGFC]

See, no need for a new striker at all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube steals it off Gnabry, poor shot. He learnt that from Stevie Me.

[Niall_Quinn]

Piece of poo shot by Ox.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Very careless passing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud is bloody poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi head over, should have got it on target.

Gnabry. :cloud9:

[Niall_Quinn]

Poor by Pods. Nice play out wide by Gnabbers though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs gets his injury in early. Looks like he broke his arse.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're slowly silencing the crowd. Only problem being they were cheering for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stay onside Poldi you berk.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pods offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube giving them a good kicking. America will be proud.

[Niall_Quinn]

Really poor by Gibbs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn, Giroud lumbering around offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

(Based on phonetics) Lee Kong Vim shoots just wide for Vietnam.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi and Giroud. :haha:

WTF? Sack them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gnabry with an excellent ball putting Pods through. Pods comprehensively fucks it up.

[Niall_Quinn]

In fact Pods managed to fuck it up three times there. Impressive.

[Niall_Quinn]

FK to them at edge of box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good header away by Sajma.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna clears it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gnabry kid is pretty good, too good for the players around him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Sagna again, to recover.

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud is just a disaster zone. No joke, he's useless.

[Niall_Quinn]

FK to us. Let Walcott take it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arteta clears the danger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi hits the post! Gnabry shoots from the rebound, saved.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is rubbish, even for a pre-season friendly.

[Niall_Quinn]

Poldi hits the post! Gnabry shoots from the rebound, saved.

Deffo a delay on SkyGo. Just saw that bit. FYI - same outcome.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!! What a goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deffo a delay on SkyGo. Just saw that bit. FYI - same outcome.

Usually 30 seconds to a minute behind. Not sure why, it's not like the quality stays on high.

[GP]

Giroud is great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD HAT-TRICK!!! :bow:

Oxocube. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vietnam 0-3 Arsenal, HT.

We're awlsome.

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud gets third. But he's still a useless lump. Second goal he was way out of position from the cross and it rebounded out to him. Third, and for the first time in the half, he makes the correct run and finishes well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OXOCUBE!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

4-0 nice finish Ox

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo, Ramsey, BFG, Ryo, Zelalaem, Akpom, Miquel on for us.

Jenkinson, Sagna and Oxocube still on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Where was Theo going?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Akpom goes for the Ade style finish, saved.

[GP]

Where was Theo going?

The bottle bank?

[Niall_Quinn]

Where was Theo going?

Not even Theo knows the answer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The bottle bank?

Could well be, wasn't carrying anything.

[Ollie the Optimist]

i think this tweet says it best about today


dont even care about hte score, the best thing about htis game is stewart robson having to watch arsenal score this much and talk about it

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AKPOM!!!

Well done Ramsey.

[Niall_Quinn]

A little bit mile offside? But good finish.

[Cripps_orig]

Is Akpom a striker?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AKPOM!!!! Great pass from Zelalem in assisting the assister (Oxocube).

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice move there. Lost count - 0 to us. Akpom again. Good ball Ox.

[GP]

Robson :haha:

ESPN :haha:

Goal.com :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need a top quality centre forward, someone to lead the line says Robson.

Outdated English cliché #1.

Also, score Theo you douche.

Big Man defending from Sagan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zelalem and Akpom tearing them to pieces.

Akpom shoots, deflects behing for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save to deny BFG's header.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good play by Akpom again. He looks twice the player Giroud is.

[GP]

Robson is an embarrassment.

Much like N_Q

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube off, Wheelchair on.

[Niall_Quinn]

What a fuck up to give away a corner. Comedy stuff.

Jack on, Ox off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Robson is an embarrassment.

Much like N_Q

Not even you can pretend Giroud can lead us to any sort of success this season.

[GP]

Not even you can pretend Giroud can lead us to any sort of success this season.

What's Giroud got to do with it?

[LDG]

Maccy, what's this Zelalem dude all about? Where does he play?

Not sure I saw his name in the ressies last year :unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

What's Giroud got to do with it?

Robson fancies him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Maccy, what's this Zelalem dude all about? Where does he play?

Not sure I saw his name in the ressies last year :unsure:

Highly rated central midfielder.

[Niall_Quinn]

Both Jap games live on ESPN.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lolcott spurns and easy cross for another easy goal.

Ches off, Martinez on, Eisfeld on, Ryo off after 20 mins on the pitch. Sagna off Aneke on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aneke, Olsson, Eisfeld and Martinez on. Szczesny, Ryo, Sagna and Jenkinson off.

Ryo didn't last long.

[GP]

Walcott misses a sitter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo still can't score. :blink:

[Niall_Quinn]

Aneke, Olsson, Eisfeld and Martinez on. Szczesny, Ryo, Sagna and Jenkinson off.

Ryo didn't last long.

Get in! Beat you even with a time lag.

:dancingman:

Lolcott :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maccy, what's this Zelalem dude all about? Where does he play?

Not sure I saw his name in the ressies last year :unsure:

Looks like a floating midfielder from what I've seen, which, let's be fair, is barely anything. :lol: Looks talented though.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Zelalalalem was born in 1997.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MIQUEL!!!!

[GP]

Iggy!

Feo :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

MIQUEL!!!!

Nice. And I'm waiting to see it.

There it goes.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I love Eisfeld. I'll punch Wenget in the balls if we don't get to see him much this season.

[LDG]

Zelalalalem was born in 1997.

Jesus wept.

I feel so old :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Clever play by Eisfeld.

[GP]

Eis Eis Baby.

Ze Germans :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus wept.

I feel so old :(

That's because you are.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey on a Human Cannonball mission.

[LDG]

I love Eisfeld. I'll punch Wenget in the balls if we don't get to see him much this season.

:gp:

Top player.

Him an Olsson look super super quality.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey being silly.

[Niall_Quinn]

:gp:

Top player.

Him an Olsson look super super quality.

And they are made of little bits of very thin string.

[Cripps_orig]

Ryo :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vietnam 1-7 Arsenal, Trans Man Dung I think they said scuffed it.

[GP]

Some Dong gets one back for Charlie.

Bit of a fluke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was actually a volley. :haha:

We do concede some impressively flukey goals.

[Niall_Quinn]

Tran man dung falls on it and bobbles one in.

Ref books him for taking off shirt - LOL.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tran Manh Dung is his actual name, I was quite close.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chez was awful there and so was whoever is in goal for us.

[GP]

Tran Man :lol:

What a drag.

[LDG]

Only Arsenal can draw from here.

It's on!

[Niall_Quinn]

Cong are all over us now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good lord Theo, sort your life out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lolcott :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :haha:

WTF?

[Niall_Quinn]

Bin manh fuk does a walnut.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lolcott hits the Sky satellite again. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We can hack it on a humid, wet night in Vietnam.

[PGFC]

He's been on the betel nut

[Niall_Quinn]

Pitch might not stand up for another 5 mins if this rain keeps on coming down.

[GP]

Guerilla tactics at play here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Keeper sent off! :haha:

[GP]

OFF OFF OFF!

[Niall_Quinn]

They're down to ten. We can win this!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need Suarez, if only to stop Theo taking freekicks.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lolcot to take it.

JHC, can't even get it on target against a stand in keeper.

[Niall_Quinn]

If wenger is a stats guy then what's the theory behind letting walnut take FKs?

[GP]

Theo is dreadful.

Our worst forward by far.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good shot by some vietnamese bloke, just over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vietnam 1-7 Arsenal, FT.

We are great. Conquered Vietnam within 90 minutes and the first English side to win there!

USA and England. :lol:

[LDG]

7 goals for all of America

[Niall_Quinn]

Americans couldn't do it, Arsenal trounce the Vietnamese.

Easy, Easy, Easy!

[Cripps_orig]

Good win

[GP]

Asia 1-14 Arsenal

Asians :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

7 goals for all of America

Japs up next.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Zelalem played very well it would seem, good to hear.

[GP]

Ze Germans :bow:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

sanogo was shit

[Özim]

First we beat a dream team, then we beat a whole country :bow:

[LDG]

We're taking out Japan next.

[GP]

Good thing Arshavin's gone. I don't think Japan could take another Fat Man...

[fakeyank]

Giroud :bow:

[fakeyank]

If wenger is a stats guy then what's the theory behind letting walnut take FKs?

Walcott has a big dick?

[Master Splinter]

If wenger is a stats guy then what's the theory behind letting walnut take FKs?

I must tell you, he has shown an outstanding consistency in hitting it 2.47 metres wide every time.

If we demote him now, can we say we are a successful make-a-wish foundation? I believe, no.

If we bring in a free-kick specialist, this would kill Theo. We cannot just swap. Swapping is not a quality. We must remain firm and believe in our spirit. Do the statistics show a top, top, top spirit?

We will not comment on this spirit speculation.

But my book will have this data, yes.

[Niall_Quinn]

So what you're saying is it was a condition of the deal he signed?
