Arsenal v Crystal Palace - SUNDAY 2nd Feb - 16:00 Sky Sports 1 aka Bloodzeed

[milla]

Sack Wumger :angry:

[Niall_Quinn]

Even though it would be wise to approach this game in trembling fear and play a static 10-0-0, maybe we should just go for it and see what happens?

[Marc Overmars]

Must win.

The wanker in the cap will probably make it difficult for us however we should win it with an auto-pilot 2-0.

[milla]

Chamakh to score double IMO. He will show his physical prowess like he did in France few years ago.

[Master Splinter]

Another draw.

Because Milla started the thread.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Damn Milla to hell!

Anything to get Wumger sacked tbh, I am on Zim side now :lol:

[Dein-machine]

the good news is Flamini can't play so we should at least want to try to score against the might of Palace. We need to score late on otherwise they may score from the numerous chances we will give them by defending too deep. 1-0 89 min.

What if Arteta injured himself before the game? :doh:

[Munchies]

Wilshere is out for this too.

Arteta/Ox in the middle I reckon.

Anyone know when Rosicky is back ?

[LDG]

Isn't it Sunday 2nd? :ninja:

[Munchies]

Isn't it Sunday 2nd? :ninja:

Why yes, it actually is.

Milla :pal:

Not a good sign really, the twat in the hat for the 3 points now ffs :coffee:

[milla]

Isn't it Sunday 2nd? :ninja:

I was just testing you bro, good man :coffee:

[AFC Leveller]

Palace are a different team these days, solid and organised.

1-0, pubingly.

[AFC Leveller]

teams have worked out how to lay against us it seems, press us really high and hit us on the counter. Everton, City, Dotmund and yesterday.

its worrying because we are about to play bayern, probably the best pressing side in the world.

[Dein-machine]

What if Arteta injured himself before the game? :doh:

Then we'll definatley score more goals

[fakeyank]

Secretly I'm glad we have that many injuries in the middle... may be, just may be, WUMger will play players in their best positions.

Chezza

Sagna Per Kos Gibbs

Arteta

Ozil Santi

Gnabry Giroud Podolski

Subs: Flappy, Jenks, Bendy, Ox, Rosicky, TV5

Thats better than playing the shit system we played yesterday. We should be going all out attack in this game. Play players with pace on the wings. Sick of all these CAM's coming into each others place and tippy tapping for ages.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A must, must win. Puts us temporary top and guaranteed second after Monday.

[Power n Glory]

Was about to suggest that team too. Just play Santi in the middle with Ox wide instead of gambling on Ox playing in the middle.

[fakeyank]

We need pace on the wings and Ox/Gnabry/Podolski make perfect sense.

[GP]

Rosicky back in the squad.

[AFC Leveller]

City just about managed to beat them 1-0 at the Etihad and Chelsea narrowly won at SB 2-1.

Need a win badly, esp with the game on Monday between the othet two and the chance for us to go back to the top of the league.

[Syn]

Reckon Wenger will go with something like this:

-------------Canizares---------------

Lizarazu---De Boer----Nesta---Meade

---------Kallstrom--Nedved----------

Seedorf-----------------------Rosicky

----------Owen----Kluivert-----------

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kevin Phillips on the bench, for us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Reckon Wenger will go with something like this:

-------------Canizares---------------

Looks okay to me, except Kallstrom.

[fakeyank]

3-0

Kallstrom hattrick

[Letters]

:lol:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

3-0

Draxler hattrick

[Niall_Quinn]

Could be any score really. If we turned up drugged again we'll probably pinch it 1-0. Or if we decide to go for it we could wallop them 2-0.

[Injury Time]

0-3 Chak runs riot and gets a hatrick

[Munchies]

Chesney

Sagna
Kosc
BFG
Gibbs

Arteta
Rosicky/Cazorla

Podolski
Ozil
Gnabry

Giroud

[Munchies]

Match day.

COYG :scarf:

[GP]

Looking forward to this one.

[JonasTC]

2-0

[GP]

5-0

[Bumble]

I think wenger is lucky that we have a home game first up after the end of the transfer window. we should win comfortably and all the issues of non strengthening temporarily forgotten.
2-0 no worries. at least we can go top again and one of Chelsea or city will drop points.

[AFC Leveller]

A mate of mine who knows a few people at Arsenal says Jack could be out for 2 months as well.

[Power n Glory]

Gnarby shouldn't start and Rosicky must start.

[Niall_Quinn]

There's a feeling of same old Arsenal going into this one. So a strong performance required here, some nice football rather than the laboured crap we saw against Southampton. At least we can't pick Frimpong to play as a holding player behind two other holding players. We might be forced to play a positive game in midfield today and about time too.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

-------------------Sneezy-------------------

Sagna-------Merkyl----------KOS-------Gibbs

----------Arteta------------Rosicky----------

NEMO-------------Cazorla------------Podolski

----------------Olivier Giroud-----------------

[Niall_Quinn]

That's the team I'd pick too, but more likely to be:

-------------------Sneezy-------------------

Fabianski-------Merkyl----------KOS-------Gibbs

----------Arteta------------Tommy----------

Nacho-------------Giroud------------Jenks

----------------Bendtner-----------------

[Munchies]

Was about to go to this game, through the arsenal_ticket page on twitter.

The twat ended up selling it to his friend.

Oh well, my £35 doesn't go to the board.

[Munchies]

That's the team I'd pick too, but more likely to be:

-------------------Sneezy-------------------

Fabianski-------Merkyl----------KOS-------Gibbs

----------Arteta------------Tommy----------

Nacho-------------Giroud------------Jenks

----------------Bendtner-----------------

:lol:

It'll probably end like that as we try to protect a 1 goal lead.

[The Verminator]

3-0 in the bag :)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Munchies]

Team news should be out at the top of the hour.

:popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Don't care if this is pubbed, just win it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nah, could do with a performance today. Bored of pubbing it.

[GP]

Team news should be out at the top of the hour.

What I expected.

DENCH

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla in the middle? :cloud9:

Probably not.

[Munchies]

Cazorla's on the RHS, Ozil middle, Pods LHS

[Munchies]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2A63rmVW_o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla is Rafa.

[Munchies]

Cazorla is Rafa.

His english has improved considerably.

Santi :bow:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

lol.....he comes across well.

Strong line up.............UP the Arse! Come on!

[GP]

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal.

No fuck ups please.

[Darknight02]

No excuses today. Our strongest line up at the moment. Time for Podolski to put in a shift and a half.

The Liverpool game just shows how tough this league is and you have to say we've done very well so far.

City's results are an abomination reflecting their ridiculous finances.

Come on you GOONERS

If we win the league this year would rank as AWs finest in my opinion.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alan Parry commentating. :rose:

[Munchies]

:scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

Owen NOT commentating - that's all that matters.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

3 points - Make it so!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi gets a battering from Ward.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Play the advantage you berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miscontrol from Poldi, Parry.

[Munchies]

what a pass

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Speroni denies Monreal.

Great pass from Özil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chakma bleeding. What a warrior.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Who attempted to take out Chakma? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Free kick in what would have been a dangerous area were Kimmy fit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla takes it for some reason. Over.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Santi. :doh:

That was dreadful.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cazorla kicked the ball away before we could take the FK.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chakma overruns it, Ches gets it.

[Munchies]

Chamakh :haha:

Close

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor pass from Oxocube.

[Niall_Quinn]

Careless stuff.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

What is the matter with Chamakhs hair?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox declines to shoot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good play there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh fuck off - too complicated, just shoot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good turn from Chakma, kicks it out of play. :lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Chakma. :sick:

What a take and turn.

[Özim]

Another poor start so far.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Never seen Chamakhs turn like that for us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blatant foul from Jedinak.

No booking. :rolleyes:

[JonasTC]

How is that not a yellow?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Got to be one more away from a card

[Niall_Quinn]

Why is that not a yellow card. Fucking ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arteta to be booked any minute now. For nothing, probably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla's control. :cloud9:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Control :bow:

[Munchies]

That control

WOW

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hollywood ball from Cazorla, out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus fuck - our passing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Pretty smooth by Wenger with his coat, great first touch and then silky zip action.

[Munchies]

BFG :bow:

Take a fukin bow !!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly in to Cazorla.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Come on boys

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Control it Ox.

[Niall_Quinn]

If only we could make things just a bit more complicated in the box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jedinak giving Giroud a nice hug.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crap again. Tip, tap, lose it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Ox, we need better there.

[Özim]

So far, so boring.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Crap again. Tip, tap, lose it.

Could be worse.

Tip, tap, Kolo...

[Munchies]

Podolski's starting to drop more centrally now

[Niall_Quinn]

Stinker by Ox so far. Nerves?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Ox looks like Wolverine

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref buys such an obvious dive.

[Power n Glory]

Ox is doing ok.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos and BFG's heading. :lol:

[Özim]

We've dominated possession, WOOHOO.

[Niall_Quinn]

71% possession after 30 mins and one attempt on target.

[Özim]

Ref buys such an obvious dive.

I need one of those, where can I buy one?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :doh:

[Özim]

I've got some dishwater in the sink waiting for me, very tempted.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is so poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Speroni stops Kos' flick from going in.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Ohhhhh

[Niall_Quinn]

Their keeper having the game of his life (TM)

[Özim]

This is so poor.

Yeah but let's be honest, we're not exactly entertainers these days.

[Niall_Quinn]

Close, just took 200 touches too many.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna nearly there from Arteta's pass.

[Özim]

Ozil's fitness has dropped 50% since he arrived due to him no longer needing to run.

[Özim]

These footballers don't half make a meal of knocks.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna broken, but his redundant power supply should kick in any minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches saves from Jerome. Eek.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puncheon. :haha:

He'll gift us a chance.

[Master Splinter]

Cazorla's pass completion must be around 40% this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jedinak finally booked.

[JonasTC]

How Jedinak is still on the field is beyond me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG flick, easy for Speroni.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cynical stuff from the new stoke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was Chamakh that was booked, not Jedinak.

Sky. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Jedinak finally booked.

LOL, think again. It was Chamakh booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

How many fouls have gone unpunished?

[Newguy]

We really need a striker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice play but turned to shit with the final ball again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos. :haha:

Not going to get his first of the season that way.

[Özim]

Wenger complaining, is he really surprised a side battling relegation with limited resources is playing more defensively, does he expect them to come out and attack and lose by several goals?

[Master Splinter]

Koscielny :haha:.

[Özim]

Poor Wenger is frustrated :upset:

You should have signed some players when you had the chance you muppet!

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger complaining, is he really surprised a side battling relegation with limited resources is playing more defensively, does he expect them to come out and attack and lose by several goals?

He probably expects the ref to book players for consistent fouling. True, crazy expectation.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Not great but this is what usually happens for us against Pulis at home. However eventually score.

[Özim]

HT 0-0 Bore draw.

[Özim]

He probably expects the ref to book players for consistent fouling. True, crazy expectation.

They've not consistently fouled, it's a man's game, not one for pansies.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I fuckin love football me!

[Niall_Quinn]

HT against a ridiculously bad palace. Nothing from us except that infuriating pas, pass, pass, fuck it up. Better than the Southampton game though. So progress.

[Niall_Quinn]

They've not consistently fouled, it's a man's game, not one for pansies.

Not watching the game again?

[Marc Overmars]

What a load of predictable shit that was.

[Master Splinter]

They must already have set a record for fouls in the first half.

Bring Rosicky on to speed things up. He'll get easy free-kicks and possibly some of their oafs sent off too.

[Zak]

No pace at all in the side.

Take on players instead of doing these stupid one twoes that haven't worked.

We needed a winger/striker, well done Wenger.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pods, Ox, Santi all poor. Ozil playing it too safe all the time.

So, Santi off and Rosicky on :-)

[Özim]

Not watching the game again?

I'm watching, just not biased against all refs.

[Marc Overmars]

Palace fans are awesome tbf.

[JonasTC]

Our biggest problem is Giroud, he never gets into the right positions. We seriously need a faster/smarter striker, who can get free of his marker and get into good positions, because we have plenty of people who will serve him the ball on a silverplater if he does, but he is so immobile that we're just trying to play around him instead.

[Letters]

Wenger complaining, is he really surprised a side battling relegation with limited resources is playing more defensively, does he expect them to come out and attack and lose by several goals?
Mourinho was whining his tits off about West Ham's tactics the other day.
Suprisingly, you didn't take his cock out of your mouth for long enough to pick him up on it.

[Özim]

We look short of ideas to me, there's no freshness about the team at the moment, too predictable, too slow and just no real sharpness anywhere. We've tried the old perfect passing move a few times, but that comes off once every 100 times so we can't rely on this to win us games.

[Letters]

Anyway...
Nothing performance from us so far. Lots of passing in midfield to no real end.
Got to show more up front.
Come on Arsenal
:scarf:

[Darknight02]

Some perspective here. They were this good against Man city.

Podolski limitation are clear for all to see. He just can't link up well with the play and his strength is running behind and finishing.

Palace are just not playing and defending with eleven men. Unfortunately we had two good chances on goal that were both saved. Make no mistake in a game like this you need some luck to go in front and we haven't had that.

Truth be told this season our bedrock has been defence. The problems in attack still remain.

Looking at the bench hard to see where the game changers come from.

Have a feeling that the change will be Ox for Rosicky eventually.

Annoyed that Ox hasn't made any runs from the middle yet.

Ozil has been razor sharp with his passes and here is where we really miss the pace of Walcott.

Anyway can't help but get behind the team.

Come on you Gunners!

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't know about serving the ball on a silver platter. A dog bowl cross or pass in the final third would do for now.

[Newguy]

We really need a striker or just put Podolski upfront and let giroud do the flicks he loves to do on the wing as it's damn pointless at the moment

[Özim]

Mourinho was whining his tits off about West Ham's tactics the other day.
Suprisingly, you didn't take his cock out of your mouth for long enough to pick him up on it.

A) Yeah he did and he was out of order, but Mourinho complains about sh*t like this when it doesn't go his way. His team did have 39 shots on goal though so at least they performed
B) F*ck off with the insults.

[Marc Overmars]

We really need to buy some wingers in the summer.

[Darknight02]

A hypocrite of the highest order.

Thankfully many of the sports writers of the broadsheets have picked up on it and commented on it.

Pathetic manager Mourinho and a hypocrite of the highest order.

[Letters]

Anyway can't help but get behind the team.

Come on you Gunners!
:gp: (all round, but particularly this).

Just need to get that breakthough.

[Letters]

B) F*ck off with the insults.
Homophobe :sulk:

[Özim]

We really need to buy some wingers in the summer.

Yeah we do and a striker, we just try the eye of the needle passing moves all the times and they're not going to come off very often. I just haven't really understood our style of play for years, what's wrong with having width and forwards who score goals?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Pods, Ox, Santi all poor. Ozil playing it too safe all the time.

So, Santi off and Rosicky on :-)

With the lack of movement, I honestly don't know what Ozil can do. I remember wayyyy back when Bergkamp joined us, he just kept playing the ball into space until his teammates learned to run into those areas. But today - who is going to do that? It is all so pedestrian.

[Newguy]

chamakh's hold up play is better than giroud's... but giroud will score from a set piece methinks

[Niall_Quinn]

A couple of times I thought he could just drive on and have a bang at goal. Just to wake things up.

[Munchies]

We need a Ronaldo like player on the wings.

£150m puma money bid ?

[fakeyank]

Take a shot from outside the box.. we need to lampard a goal in

Totally agree.

I think Ozil has under performed.

But today he's played some excellent passes from hospital positions where he's received the ball.

He makes excellent passes that help keep possession on the final third and help open teams up but we just have no runners to play on the shoulder of their last defender.

It's a huge shame and that's why I really though we've cocked up this January having lost our one proper pacey player and not made a buy to change that and bring some pace into the side

[Xhaka Can’t]

A couple of times I thought he could just drive on and have a bang at goal. Just to wake things up.

Yeah, other than what he is doing now, that is his only other option. But it is style of play that is outside his comfort zone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Always going to be difficult - Cieth only won 1 - 0 against them. Pulis has them well organised and drilled.

That said we need to be prepared to just shoot anywhere near the box instead of trying to do too much.


Will take a 1 - 0 off Kos' dick tbh.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yeah, other than what he is doing now, that is his only other option. But it is style of play that is outside his comfort zone.

That's the problem with the whole team - in the comfort zone. Palace offer nothing, we should have better options that to play the footie equivalent of breakout against their brick wall.

[IBK]

Mourinho was whining his tits off about West Ham's tactics the other day.
Suprisingly, you didn't take his cock out of your mouth for long enough to pick him up on it.

Ouch. Has it gone that far?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Arsenal 0-0 Crystal Palace

Here are some stats to go with the half-time Bovril:

Arsenal have failed to score a first-half goal in seven of their last eight Premier League games.
The last player to score a first-half PL goal for Arsenal at the Emirates was Nicklas Bendtner versus Hull - two months ago.


Bloody hell.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ouch. Has it gone that far?
It was this far in about 2008, tbf.

[IBK]

Totally agree.

I think Ozil has under performed.

But today he's played some excellent passes from hospital positions where he's received the ball.

Coming round to thinking that our team isn't good enough to benefit from what Ozil does....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Giroud. Arteta had to make a foul.

[Özim]

As mentioned before our slow paced attack just doesn't suit Ozil's talents, stick him in a counter attacking team and he excels, he uses his pace and skills to drive at and beat players and then create chances for others. Stick him in a team like ours and all he can do is try and find some clever passes hoping his teammates make good runs until they get crowded out.

Please bring counter attacking football back.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

First time I've ever seen Letters insult someone. Even the mighty have fallen.

[milla]

chamakh's hold up play is better than giroud's... but giroud will score from a set piece methinks

They are both shite. :good:

It's hard to counter attack a team that don't attack!!!!

[Özim]

Coming round to thinking that our team isn't good enough to benefit from what Ozil does....

Could well be, could also be that Wenger just doesn't setup his side to play the way he should with Ozil in the team.

[Newguy]

Girouds hold up play is shocking guys...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OXOCUBE!!!

What a pass from Santi!

[Munchies]

YES!

[Master Splinter]

What a goal!!!!!!!!!

[hobson's choice]

We really need to buy some wingers in the summer.

We desperately need to unearth the next Cristiano, Bale, Robben type soon, cause this team is crying out for a player like that. Shit i'll take a Reyes(before The Neville brothers, Arogones, and Henry picking on him things) clone.

[Özim]

It's hard to counter attack a team that don't attack!!!!

OXO scores!

[JonasTC]

NIIIICE!

[Darknight02]

What a goal from the Ox and what a pass!

[Niall_Quinn]

OX!

Such a good performance by him today topped off by a goal!

[Xhaka Can’t]

:woohoo:

Beautiful feed from Cazorla and what a composed finish from Ox!

[Darknight02]

Now keep it tight and frustrate them at their own game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta boots it out of play. :haha:

[Özim]

It's hard to counter attack a team that don't attack!!!!

It's not just about counter attacks but also about the pace of your attacks, ours are slow and calculated and require precision passing and perfect runs.

[Darknight02]

This game is now ours for the taking. Keep the discipline and the shape and we will get more chances. This is ours

What a goal from us.

Sensational from the Ox

[Xhaka Can’t]

Coming round to thinking that our team isn't good enough to benefit from what Ozil does....

This is it. We are a good team, but the qualities of the teammates that aren't on the treatment table aren't a good fit with Ozil.

[Letters]

I was so busy reading nonsense from you twats (no offence, like) that I missed it <_<


:yippee: Though.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's not just about counter attacks but also about the pace of your attacks, ours are slow and calculated and require precision passing and perfect runs.
1-0 to the Arsenal...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ref trying to put a tackle in for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Ches to deny Jerome!

Jesus wept.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

First time I've ever seen Letters insult someone. Even the mighty have fallen.

At least he doesn't have far to fall. :ninja:

[Master Splinter]

Szczesny :bow:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great save after we fell asleep.

[Munchies]

Great save

Wow that was some sh*t defending, we got lucky thanks to Chesney's save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

[Darknight02]

FFS we nearly throw it all away.

Come on you Gunners keep it right. No risks needed now.

[Özim]

1-0 to the Arsenal...

Yeah I know, doesn't really change the fact we have certain issues with the way we play though.

[Master Splinter]

It's not luck when a keeper does his job: making saves.

Why am I even bothering?

Me :doh:.

[Niall_Quinn]

SHOOT PODS!

[Master Splinter]

Annoyed that Ox hasn't made any runs from the middle yet.



The new Maccy :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it Arteta!

Cross it Poldi!

[Niall_Quinn]

PODS! Don't shoot!

It was poor defence but you're always going to have some lapses like that.
Chesney has stepped up this season and made the difference in tight games. It's hardly luck, it's good 'keeping.

Hmmmmm I don't know, if Jerome had hit it like it should it would have been 1-1, fortunately he didn't and gave Chesney as save to make which he did. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jerome off, Bannan on.

The save wasn't luck, but the fact we got away with it kinda is, Jerome should have done better and should have equalised from there.

[Niall_Quinn]

1 goal conceded in last 10 at home? Really? That's pretty shit hot.

[Özim]

Jerome going off, must be for that awful effort a minute ago :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Hmmmmm I don't know, if Jerome had hit it like it should it would have been 1-1, fortunately he didn't and gave Chesney as save to make which he did. :doh:

What's the score, Ozim, Ozim!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Poldi.

No control from us in that passage of play though.

[Darknight02]

Ouch. Has it gone that far?

Everyone of Ozil passes is measured and carefully thought.

You see that he would be a nightmare in defending against as no matter how tight you get he can open you up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even though Jack is the worst player in the world, we still miss his energy in the middle.

[Munchies]

Giroud's been shite today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi giving it some work. :bow:

[Özim]

Even though Jack is the worst player in the world, we still miss his energy in the middle.

We miss Ramsey's more, he's a regular Jack is a sub with everyone fit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yep, good work Podolski.

[Özim]

Giroud's been shite today

Been shite for a while to be fair, makes not signing a striker even more mysterious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube goes for glory. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gazidis. :bow:

Our glorious leader.

[Niall_Quinn]

Off target by Ox but at least he gave it a go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pulis not happy with Arsenal player's challenge. :lol:
