Arsenal vs Norwich. Sat 19th Oct, 3pm.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Long time away but I really can't be arsed to focus on England.

Will we buckle after the internationals? Who is back for this game?

I think Cazorla's back. Walcott too? Sagna as well?

Won 3-1 last season with 3 goals in the last 5 minutes after going 1-0 down.

3-0

Ozil hattrick

[LDG]

We'll stuff this lot.

It'll be our annual 7-1 thrashing.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

I was thinking the international break was a hindrance but it's actually good we have no league games to potentially drop points before our big players are back.

Blessing in disguise.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Hmmm i remember after the internationals in October last season we had to play Norwich before playing a German side at home in the Champions League...let's hope that's not an ominous portent.

[Munchies]

Should have Santi/Sagan/Theo all back.

Pods at the moment has a chance of being back.

---------- Big Sexy-----------
---Cazorla ---- Ozil ----- Walcott
-----Ramsey ----- Flamini-------

Ozil/Cazorla interchanging in the game

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

That is probably our best team, even with everyone fit who isn't. I'd go with that for the next game.

Should Flamini take a tactical booking to miss the Palace game rather than the Liverpool one?

[GP]

I don't think it'll need to be tactical for him to get a booking.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Norwich aren't too clever at the moment, so it's not impossible he will avoid it like a wily fox but I don't think it will have escaped him that he could miss the Liverpool game if he doesn't. He did hone his dark arts after leaving us, in Italy.

Flamini will get yellows as a matter of course anyway.

I hope he doesn't get suspended during Pool and Manu games :lol:

Flamini is on 4 yellow now, what is the suspension rule for yellow? :coffee:

[Munchies]

I hope he doesn't get suspended during Pool and Manu games :lol:

Flamini is on 4 yellow now, what is the suspension rule for yellow? :coffee:

5 yellows - 1 game ban
10 - 2 game ban

He should get one against Norwich, he'll miss Palace away but be back for Liverpool

[hobson's choice]

Fucking international week

[fakeyank]

:gp:

[Ollie the Optimist]

5 yellows - 1 game ban
10 - 2 game ban

Flammini has been booked in all our games bar the stoke game but in that one, he supposedly threatened to blind a stoke player.


Flammini :bow:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Think I'm right in saying Kos is the only casualty so far and it's not supposed to be too serious.

Flamini, Arteta and Gibbs have a 2 week rest from games.

Going well so far.

[milla]

Ray Parlour pick his midfield,


"Aaron Ramsey's been the player of the season so far, he's been superb with the goals he's scored but the whole midfield are very adaptive now.

"At the moment Ramsey's guaranteed a place in my team, Flamini as well with the way he is playing in that holding role. Then it's who plays around them? Ozil obviously is going to play behind the front and then you've got Cazorla, who had a great season last year, so I'm sure he'll be back in the side as well."


No Arteta and Jack. :coffee:

[Munchies]

Internationals all done...

[LDG]

Real football is back :bow:

Chesney

Sagan (if fit) Mert Kos Gibbs

Flamini Arteta

Rambo

Özil Cazorla

Giroud


:bow:

[GP]

All the jizz.

We'll put those cunts to the sword.

[Munchies]

Rather keep Arteta out tbf.

4-2-3-1

Ramsey - Flams
Cazorla - Ozil - Theo (?) / Gnabry
Giroud

Cazorla and Ozil on the same pitch please :pray:

[LDG]

Theo is still dead.

If Arteta misses out (which he won't) then Jack will play.

I doubt he'll play both Cazorla and Özil unfortuately....he'll either rest Özil and give Cazorla a run out, or bench Santi, ready for a 10 minute cameo appearance at the end....when he'll come on for Özil.

He's not known as WUMger for nothing.

[Master Splinter]

WUMger will save the five-man midfield thing for Dortmund. Although with Urzel and Cazorla doing whatever the fuck they want behind Giroud (yes homo) it just has to be awlsome. If Feo is fit he'd be useful if it's counter-attack v counter-attack.

Gnabry has been impressive for the U19s, so he might play against Norwich.

At least they don't have Holt playing to foul our defenders and continually get away with it. I suppose Elmander will do that.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm hopefully we leave one of Arteta or Flamini out. With the array of attacking midfielders we have I don't think we really need to play 2 DM's for a game like this. Save that for more tactical matches.

[Ollie the Optimist]

potential to see Ozil and Cazorla in the same team playing together. im watching this match with the tissues close by if that happens. it will be footballing porn

[Xhaka Can’t]

1-0 to the Arsenal

[Xhaka Can’t]

Of course, if I was there, the score would probably be 5-0.

[LDG]

Of course, if I was there, the score would probably be 5-0.

You won't be there.

You're in Huddersfield.

:pal:

[mkkreuk]

Ozil was subbed during the week playing for Germany. Potential injury, but no mention of it on Arsenal.com so hopefully not...

[GP]

Ozil was subbed during the week playing for Germany. Potential injury, but no mention of it on Arsenal.com so hopefully not...

He's fine.

[Neo Reloaded]

Don't think Caz would start unless Oz needs a break after international duty. I reckon Oz to start and Caz to replace him at some point in the second half. Likewise for Ramsey/Arteta.

Would it be a good match to give the Verminator some game time?

[I am invisible]

What's the deal with Walcott? Is he available again yet?

[Syn]

What's the deal with Walcott? Is he available again yet?

Nope. 2 more weeks. And Podolski is still longer term.

BUT Cazorla, Sagna and Rosicky available.

Hoping for

-----------------Szczesny-------------------

Sagna------Mert-------Kos-----------Gibbs

------------Flamini---Ramsey--------------

Cazorla-----------Ozil---------------Gnabry

-----------------Giroud---------------------


but whatever's good.

[Munchies]

on Mesut Ozil, who was substituted for Germany on Tuesday...
He is alright. He came back with a knock on the knee but it was just a kick. We’ll have a test tomorrow to see if he is fit enough for Saturday or not. When you have not played, there is always a little doubt but not a major one.

on Sagna and Cazorla…
Sagna is 80 per cent fit and he will have a test. Cazorla is available in training but he is not match-fit. It is just about competitiveness with him. There is a possibility both are in the squad for Saturday. I have not decided whether they will start or not.

on Rosicky and Walcott...
Rosicky is back in the squad and available. Walcott is still two weeks away.

on Sanogo, Podolski, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain...
All of them are out for a longer period.

What happened to Podolski and Ox? With Theo out too, we really lack pace in the team. Hopefully at least Pod and Theo will be back for our games in November!

[PGFC]

When Pod, Ox and Theo come back in January, It'll be like new-signing heaven :good:

[Syn]

Wenger tattoos a face onto his neck:

[Letters]

Is that Wayne Rooney's face? :unsure:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I would opt for something simillar to Syn's team. I can't see why we should risk both defensive midfielder's for the likes of Norwich. They haven't been a bad team since coming up but they have been pretty poor this season. Rosicky can come into the double pivot with one of them if needed or I would be happy to push Ozil wide and put Rosicky behind the forwards.

-----------------Szczesny-----------------

Sagna------Mert-------Kos-----------Gibbs

Gnabry-----------Ozil---------------Cazorla

When Pod, Ox and Theo come back in January, It'll be like new-signing heaven :good:

But Ozil, Ramsey and Santi will be out :violin:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Wilshere, Arteta, Flamini, Cazorla, Özil, Giroud.
Subs: Vermaelen, Rosicky, Ramsey, Monreal, Fabianski, Bendtner, Jenkinson.

Norwich: Ruddy; Martin, Bassong, Turner, Olsson; Tettey, Fer, Howson; Snodgrass, Pilkington, Hooper.

Haha good job :good:

No Rambo ?

Ozil and Cazorla :bow:

[Ollie the Optimist]

Ozil and Cazorla in the same team? oh wow, this could be messy

[Master Splinter]

Play Ozil and Cazorla together.

Rest Ramsey.

:WUMger:


Although this does mean Ramsey is officially our best player now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unless it's due to injury then presumably because he played two matches whereas Cazorla and Wheelchair barely played between them.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ramsey played both matches for Wales on top of nearly every minute so far for us. Good decision to rest him for Dortmund.

thanks.

it's actually top, top, super quality, too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run by Wheelchair, somehow manages to fumble a yard pass to Sajma.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Is Stan there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Arteta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla shoots, Ruddy saves.

[Munchies]

Oooh Santi Cazorla !

[Munchies]

my internet can't handle this hd stream :lol:

Keeps stop starting here and there, can still hear the commentary tho

It's not your internet, it's the stream.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not a great ball from Gibbs, Tettey slices it for a corner though.

[Munchies]

It's not your internet, it's the stream.

Probably, they've always worked beforehand

Getting smooth now though :good:

[Munchies]

If that stream is shitty, use this

HD also, but really smooth

[cricketsi]

Probably, they've always worked beforehand

Unfortunately there are fewer options when it's not a UK televised match, so puts more strain on the good ones that do exist perhaps.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good cross from Sagna, Ruddy did well to bring it down one handed.

[Munchies]

Yeah, 5000 people on the stream :lol:

http://popstreams.eu/stream3.html

Is pretty good , lets hope it continues :good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif's holding up. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Absolutely no footballing reason why we should be playing both Flamini and Arteta at home against Norwich, none with Gnabry available, except that Wenger can't look Mikel in the face and tell him he's not playing. Aretha offers next to nothing in defence attack. The human equivalent of a training cone. With great hair

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Need to try and find other attacking outlets other than Sagna crossing it in,

[Munchies]

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WILSHERE!!! Holy shit, what a goal!

[Master Splinter]

Brilliant!

[GP]

Oh my god!

WHAT A GOAL!

[GP]

Giroud in the buildup :bow:

He is brilliant.

[Rors]

Points for me too :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

:patrice:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

WHAT A FLICK FROM BIF!!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Giroud is a god.

[Munchies]

What a pass by giroud

NANANANANANA GIROUUUUUUUUUD

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Bif's flick. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

WHAT A FLICK FROM BIF!!!!!!!!

What a flick from Wilshere too

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What a run from Wheelchair as well. He was in so much space you were certain he was offside initially, but no he timed it perfectly.

[Master Splinter]

Gibbs :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Sexy shot, not so sexy that time.

[Rors]

Big Sexy shot, not so sexy that time.

Not Too Sweet?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not Too Sweet?

More like a Vanilla Midget.

[Master Splinter]

Sir Jack is back.

Now with added goals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FFS Kos.

[Master Splinter]

Flamini's killed him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini with a flying headbutt.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Sir Jack is back.

Now with added goals.

Rumours of his demise have been greatly exagerrated.




We need to get a second before the end of the half though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil makes a tackle whilst on his arse. :lol:

[Munchies]

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Ruddy to deny Giroud.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini off, presuably concussed, Ramsey on.

[Munchies]

Shit flamini is off injured

Rambo on

[GP]

Good hit from Bac.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna on the volley. :blink:

Ruddy saves.

[Master Splinter]

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x165wzs_arsenal-vs-norwich-1-0-jack-wislhere_sport

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody hell Sagna, Ches just about gets it away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good save from Ches to deny Fer.

[Munchies]

Where is Rambo playing ? Haven't seen much of him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant block by BFG.

[Globalgunner]

Doing our utmost best to make sure Norwich equalise before HT

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Snodgrass. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT, mostly very good but really dropped our level since Flamini went off.

[Ralpheroo72]

Been poor post Flamini

[The Emirates Gallactico]

We've been good without being lethal enough.


Need to score a couple of quick goals to nip this in the bud.

[Munchies]

2nd half now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta strike, Tettey blocks it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fer somehow wins a freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin on the volley, puts it way wide. Not great defending from us there really.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Conceeded a Fk in a dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla's clearance. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Snodgrass shoots, Ches saves.

Not doing well at the moment.

[Ralpheroo72]

Can we bring Flamini back on please

[Munchies]

WOW !!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ÖZIL!!! What a counter-attack!

[Master Splinter]

Ozil!!!!

[GP]

Outstanding!

[Master Splinter]

Giroud is genuinely amazing.

[A Gunner]

2 Giroud Assist

Carzola off, Rosicky on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla off, Rosicky on.

[Master Splinter]

You don't have to be 6 foot.

5 foot 11 will do.

[GP]

Giroud is genuinely amazing.

Best all-round striker in the PL tbh

[Master Splinter]

We are literally the best team ever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair wants more one touch wondergoals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pilkington. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pilkington. :haha:

Head like a fucking orange!!!!!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Pilkington. :haha:


horrible cheat, too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Somebody take Pilkington out. He's as annoying as Karl.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So close for Bif, twice. Turner did well.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Bif. :cloud9:

his link up plays are little bit orgasmic.

[Munchies]

Fuck

[Master Splinter]

FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Howson. :doh:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh cock! Don't fuck this up.

[Munchies]

Always concede :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pilkington off, Redmond on.

[Master Splinter]

We can't resist letting a -1 in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Redmond shoots, way wide.

[Ralpheroo72]

Like Ron Jeremy, we don't do clean sheets

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Ruddy stop Ramsey earlier. Not sure how handball wasn't given just after that though for some Norwich pubber.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil shoots, Ruddy saves.

[Globalgunner]

I think we can all appreciate what Flamini brings to the team. We've been dire since he left

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud off, Bendtner on. :unsure:

Tettey off, Hoolahan on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Not sure bringing on Bendtner is the correct move here. Sure Giroud could do with a rest but the 3 points aren't in the bag yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ruddy saves from Ramsey again.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

That ruddy Ruddy!!

[Transplanted Gooner]

Like Ron Jeremy, we don't do clean sheets

If it wasnt true, it might be funny.. We've shipped too many goals against inferior opposition.

[Munchies]

Into the last 10, COYG

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bendtner shoots, Ruddy saves. Arse it.

[Munchies]

This Ruddy cunt does fuck all against Chelsea, playing out of his skin today

[Munchies]

WHAT G AOLOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RAMSEY!!!! Unbelievable.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

RAMBO"""

[A Gunner]

3 - 1 Aaron Ramsey

Wow, nice!!!

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey!!!!!!!

[GP]

YESSS!!

He's brilliant.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

WHAT A PLAYER!!!!

[Ralpheroo72]

Oh my God! What a fucking goal!

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey is a sensational player.

The touches outside the box too!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

:patrice:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Madrid bought the wrong Welshman

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair goes all athlete ball, corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG header, not a bad effort.

[A Gunner]

4 - 1

Ozil, Ramsey assist

[Munchies]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OW !!!

[Master Splinter]

Amazing!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ÖZIL!!!!

[GP]

There's spunk everywhere

[Munchies]

TOP OF THE LEAGUE

WHAT A TEAM :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

:patrice:

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey is insane.

We're going to sell him for £200m. :(

[The Emirates Gallactico]

We're actually quite good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramseyinho. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

If other results hold for us this could be an amazing weekend for us.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ramsey. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Are we little bit having our own personal goal of the season competition?

I believe yes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bendy. :lol:

Arsenal 4-1 Norwich, FT! :bow:

Top of the league! :scarf:

[Munchies]

TOTL !!!

[bunsco]

Ramsey is a sensational player.

The touches outside the box too!

Should be playing Championship football at best...

Wait who said that - yeah that's it MOST OF YOU.

Shows that we should always be behind players willing to put in the work in for the benefit of our team. Was always obvious he was only lacking confidence -was a disgrace how most here slammed him during the dark days.
Part of me almost expects the same the moment he has a dip in form....

CAN IT. When he was shit we said he was shit. Now he's awesome. No harm done.
Can't we just be happy after a win. Maybe you think we should keep playing Bender till he turns into Jarzinho.

:lol: like that - but as I said ,in Ramsey's case it was a case of confidence - in bendys case, he has tons of it...problem is e really isn't nearly as good as he think he is. Also his reluctance to move on and get regular football just so he can keep his fat wages makes it a very different case in point.
