Everton v Arsenal 13.3o kick off 6 April

[Bumble]

Looking at the fixtures Everton do still have Man U and Man C at home so even if we lose, it will still take some effort for them to keep winning to stay ahead. There game in hand is palace at home and Southampton are probably there hardest away fixture.

We have a pretty good record against Everton I think, so my money would be on a draw but at least they can take some confidence from the second half against citeh

1-1 and it wont be giroud as cows arse and banjo spring to mind.

[Niall_Quinn]

3-0 Kallstrom hattrick. Ozil anonymous.

[GP]

I thought this one was away?

[Marc Overmars]

Lose and we're in trouble.

I think we'll be ok though, we usually sort our lives out when it comes to the 4th place trophy.

1-2.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need to start warming up the night before, will ensure all players are out of bed by kick off. Including Giroud.

[Özim]

4th place at risk so we'll get a result, narrow win.

[Bumble]

We need to start warming up the night before, will ensure all players are out of bed by kick off. Including Giroud.

nah giroud can over sleep and let podolski play up front. be interesting to see how everton play as normally they have no real pressure as no one really expects them to get a CL spot but now they know that they have to win and that could make them get careless and we can counter with the phenominal pace we have in the side.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Nothing but a win for us here.

1-3.

[selassie]

1-1, that would be a very good result.

[Munchies]

I think it'll be 1-1 too

[1_nilto the arsenal]

Let me all refresh your shot memories; We were totally outplayed and outclassed by Everton and that was at home, there is only one result. Everton 2 Arsenal 1. We will finish 5th.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

Let me all refresh your shot memories; We were totally outplayed and outclassed by Everton and that was at home, there is only one result. Everton 2 Arsenal 1. We will finish 5th.

Last time we played them at home was 3 weeks ago in the FA Cup, and we were neither outplayed or outclassed, we humped them 4-1.
1-3 this time round, Cazorla x2, Poldoski x 1

[AFC Leveller]

2-3.

Lukaku, Baines Pel for them. Pod, Rosicky, Ozil for us.

[AFC Leveller]

Does anyone know when Ozil and Kosiclny should be back? Ozil was 2-3 weeks from the bayern game so hopefully he's fit for next Sunday.

That was a cup game, however I am referring to the league game where to be fair to Everton they did out pass and outplayed us. This is going to one of the toughest games of the season, and when we get pressure games like this in the league we usually crumble to pcs. I can honestly see us losing 3-1.

Ozil was 2-3 weeks away before our medical team got their hands on him - he's next game for us will probably be a Europa cup qualifier.

I have a sneaky feeling that Ramsey will be no where close to his early season form for the remainder of the season.

[Munchies]

Wenger will probably start with Arteta/Flamini, reckon Rambo may be brought on if we're winning by atleast two goals with the last 10 mins to go or something.

Don't know, I think he's best in the middle but needs to be a bit more advanced.

^ Against the small teams I guess, but he lost the ball a few times against Chelsea.

Everton - Brilliant! Martinez - Brilliant!

Arsenal - watch out, they're coming to get you.

Only inconvenient fact - Arsenal above Everton in the table.

[Marc Overmars]

Nice calm and methodical destruction of Everton required. Make it happen.

More likely to be a narrow pubbed win.

But none the less, come on Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Was just about to say, great, we aren't laughing and joking with the opposition and we look serious. Then Arteta arrives backslapping everyone. :doh:

Stop that!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck this shit.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Arsenal :scarf:.

Conservative team again. Hope we keep the ball better at least and Podolski has an influence again. Relying on Rosicky for pace.

[Power n Glory]

Gibbs lost in training. He's been poor but damn it.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're really down to the bare bones. Monreal must not get gift-wrapped, shipped by DHL and owned today.

2-2 according to Hoddle. :rolleyes:

Osman booked. And he has injured himself in the process. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Everton player booked first. :faint:

[Globalgunner]

Commentator says Fabianski fell sick so the young Italian Viviano was called up at the last minute. Young?....Idiots!

[Master Splinter]

Thank the lord for Naismith.

Best no.10 in the world tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is that an opposition player getting booked early? When did that rule get brought in?

[LDG]

Look at Everton! Everton are amazing!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Monreal found himself offside there?

Poldi's hammer in action today.

Osman off, so the booking was irrelevant. Barkley on.

[LDG]

Shit. Didn't really want Barkley playing.

Balls

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good strike from Flamini, odd save from Howard.

[Master Splinter]

Aaron Flamini :bow:.

Naismith is amazing, in his own way.

Good effort Flamster.

Stuart: Not one English player in Arsenal's starting line up today, it's disgusting and something should be done about it. Unfortunately Arsene Wenger has done this sort of thing for years,


Oh dear.

Martinez does get his teams to scrote against us.

[Master Splinter]

Atkinson back to normal.

[LDG]

How is that not a booking?

[Niall_Quinn]

Somehow Naismith doesn't get booked. Incredible reffing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Naismith. :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Great defending.

FFS.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh cock!

[Marc Overmars]

:rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Non-Everton chav sets it up so even Naismith can't miss.

[ARightTouch]

Why the fuck did Verm just let that ball go through to Lukaku???

[cheesy bites]

I said we weren't going to finish 4th, and I'm right.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a bad few minutes for that dick Naismith. Gets let off a stonewall card and then gets set up by a player who shouldn't be playing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi shot, blocked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, Giroud is playing. Didn't realise.

[Penguin]

Monreal is an embarrassingly bad defender. Useless in almost every way.

How the hell has he been getting picked in the Spain squad? :doh:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I said we weren't going to finish 4th, and I'm right.

Don't worry Everton still have Man City and Utd to come. By hook or crook we'll somehow squeeze into the top fourth.

We're specialists in it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Naismith nearly flukes it to 2-0.

[RomfordPele]

Another lethargic half paced start. Lucky not to be 2 down by now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Niall_Quinn]

We're doing that thing again, allowing half an acre of space on the flanks. Still can't quite get it to work.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Another lethargic half paced start. Lucky not to be 2 down by now.

I just can't understand this. It's not like we have any other matches the past week. They had a whole week to prepare for this and as usual we look like we haven't prepared anything.

[Penguin]

Giroud?!! :lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I know it's been said a lot if Wenger decides to pack it in at the end of the season, I wouldn't mind getting Martinez in.

[fakeyank]

I just can't understand this. It's not like we have any other matches the past week. They had a whole week to prepare for this and as usual we look like we haven't prepared anything.

Someone out there gets a lot of money to do exactly that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mirallas shot, easy for Ches.

Flam. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

When the card doesn't come out you can just keep fouling. Very effective tactic if the ref is willing to play along.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Nearly done on the counter again. :rolleyes:

If Everton had better players that would have been a goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's awful by Cazorla.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Giroud with the touch of a rapist.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif is like Teflon.

[cheesy bites]

Cazorla doesn't defend, Poldi is a one trick left-foot shot pony, and Giroud is a plodder.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for Ramsey.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsene has shaken things up by putting his coat on.

[Penguin]

Really, Flamini? :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Arsene has shaken things up by putting his coat on.

Finally worked out how to use the zipper.

[LDG]

Zero pace :(

[Penguin]

Rambo doesn't look happy

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Sky constantly posting close up shots of Ramsey. I wonder what they're trying to hint at.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wakey wakey! Time to get up and play footie! It's not like having to get the train and go to a shitty job, is it?

[Globalgunner]

That really is our only hope because this team is chock full of bog standard cheese eating surrender monkeys. Bloody hell they can't even stand up and fight when their gravy train of 4th is on the line

[Niall_Quinn]

Finally worked out how to use the zipper.

I think it's velcro now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good complaining by Bif.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches saves from Barkley. All our players stuck in treacle.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna and Monreal are a shambles today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches saves from Mirallas. :lol:

[cheesy bites]

We're being pumped harder than a back alley whore

[Niall_Quinn]

How do you turn your back on a player driving towards goal?

Answer - watch Monreal and copy

Arsene's job of destroying Arsenal is almost complete.

Absolutely fucking dire. Win your cup and pack your bags arsene.

Oh for god sake Arteta.

[BlindFaith_8]

Kallstrom should have been picked ahead of Arteta, he is awful. As for Monreal, it just amuses me that he finds these doghy left backs from Santos to Monreal. What a fucking joke. Oh well atleast we might get a chance to get further than the last 16 in the Europa League.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good effort Pods.

But Bif doesn't have a clue.

[cheesy bites]

If Man Utd have a good summer, we'll be out for longer than a year.

bring on the ox and ramsey at least you know they will give 100%.....but we only need a stroke of luck to score and the confidence could come flooding back. 2-0 probably fair reflection of the game we are awful.... giroud is awful and is just so slow its embarrassing. rosicky is doing ok but we need another buzzy bee type.

[Niall_Quinn]

Monreal vs Lukaku. Very obvious what would happen there.

[Ernesto]

This is pathetic. Truly awful display when the chips are down.

Two ridiculous dives. Ref not buying it thankfully.

Arteta, Monreal, Giroud, Bendtner, and the mastermind Wenger.

man u 7 behind, spurs 5 if they win their game in hand.

Flamini. :lol:

Awful touched and booked. Of course.

Misses the next two games.

[cheesy bites]

Easy run in they say, as if this shower of shite is inspiring confidence in you.

[Gooner23]

At least Arsene has a ready made excuse in that we've had a tough run of fixtures. Doesn't wash though, we've been shambolic for weeks.

Everton very ordinary - but a lot better than us today.

If you took Monreal and Bif off and didn't bother replacing them it wouldn't make a difference. So if we subbed them we'd be two players better off. I think we should try it.

it was a booking and Osman was booked for something similar... Naismith should have been booked although hasn't really made much difference to the game.

we have quite an old team out there really. rosicky, flamini, sagna, arteta all 29+ pod, caz verm, mert, mon and giroud all 26+ . coleman, stones, barkley, lukaku, McCarthy all 24 or less. which team is likely to have the energy to last the game.

Yeah Bif is better Champax and Bendtner, marginally. Fairly deperessing stuff though, and we had 2 windows to do something about it.

To be fair with Chamakh he did have some pace and linked up well with the midfield and played deep. Would rather have kept Chamakh than Giroud.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even if Wenger taunted them before kick off and said they were bound to lose because they are shit - there are eleven massively paid so-called professionals out there who should at the very least have enough balls to motivate themselves.

Wenger balls up because he's not prepared to change something that very obviously isn't working.

Players' balls up because they are weak and don't have respect.

I actually think Wenger's going to leave now regardless of what happens in the FA cup. He looks broken.

Even when we might win some silverware (though I have real concerns about that now), this bunch of losers still find a way to dampen the mood further.

[Niall_Quinn]

Redknapp makes a good point :faint:

Quite correct - second goal should have been disallowed.

It looks like that age old "scenario" we Arsenal fans kept being presented with is going to happen:

Even if Wenger taunted them before kick off and said they were bound to lose because they are shit - there are eleven massively paid so-called professionals out there who should at the very least have enough balls to motivate themselves.

Wenger balls up because he's not prepared to change something that very obviously isn't working.

Players' balls up because they are weak and don't have respect.

Yep, quite open to losing a few of these players as well as wenger in the close season. I don't see it as an an either/or question.

Not if it's Wall's.

[Niall_Quinn]

Klopp just got his arse handed to him in the CL and he's got a better team. It's a huge assumption to think he'd be able to move us up to the next level.

[Power n Glory]

Cant blame Wenger for players lack of "give a fuck".

Really disgusting display so far.

Yes, you can! Stop picking the same group of players that produce nothing? Is it a surprise we lack penetration with Giroud leading the line with Pod and Rosicky out wide?

It shouldn't be a surprise about us passing so badly with Arteta and Flamini in the middle. We're not set up to counter attack with our front options and we can't hold the ball with such a poor centre!

[Niall_Quinn]

If it's 40% proof then sure, I'll have some.

[cheesy bites]

Klopp just got his arse handed to him in the CL and he's got a better team. It's a huge assumption to think he'd be able to move us up to the next level.
Klopp's entire team was almost out through injury and suspension.

[RomfordPele]

No changes :shrug:

[LDG]

At least some pride, you bunch of pussies.

[Marc Overmars]

Klopp just got his arse handed to him in the CL and he's got a better team. It's a huge assumption to think he'd be able to move us up to the next level.

I'd rather assume that than stick with someone who is actually taking us down a level.

[Power n Glory]

Klopp just got his arse handed to him in the CL and he's got a better team. It's a huge assumption to think he'd be able to move us up to the next level.

It's against Real Madrid for crying out loud. Some perspective.

[AFC Leveller]

Pathetic as usual.

Whole team + manager need a bitch slap. really unacceptable.

[cheesy bites]

No subs by the fucking coward.

[LDG]

No changes :shrug:

Unbelievable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal, gallant losers at the very least.

[Niall_Quinn]

OK - there he is, Monreal.

Not a case of lessons not being learned - more a case of wiping arse with the lesson and flushing it down the shitter.

No changes. This was obvious. Changes will be between 68th and 72nd minutes. Too late.

[Niall_Quinn]

Klopp's entire team was almost out through injury and suspension.

Oh okay, so he'd fit in well here.

[AFC Leveller]

Might end 4-0

[Niall_Quinn]

It's against Real Madrid for crying out loud. Some perspective.

We did better against Bayern with 10.

[RomfordPele]

This is perfectly set up for a flamini red card.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is perfectly set up for a flamini red card.

Yes, red for Flamini will even up City's offside goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Awful by Cazorla.

[Bumble]

just one goal can change the game though..... although we do need to create a few more chances....but a corner and a few ricochets probably most likely. If everton score next I do wonder if like seems to happen that we keep attacking will we do that considering the effect it could have on the goal difference or will attempt to keep it down to three.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal ball across goal, nobody attacks it.

[LDG]

I forgot Tim Howard is the ultimate timewaster

[Marc Overmars]

This is perfectly set up for a flamini red card.

He's always set up for a red card.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're going with the low tempo again, because it worked so well in the first half.

[Niall_Quinn]

Monreal did ok there but Bif is shit.

[Power n Glory]

We did better against Bayern with 10.

:doh: We're out of the competition, NQ! They've gone further than us.

Right now we're being taken to school by Everton, coached by Roberto Martinez!

[Globalgunner]

Klopp just got his arse handed to him in the CL and he's got a better team. It's a huge assumption to think he'd be able to move us up to the next level.

You can't make a judgement based on 1 game. This time last season he was wiping the floor with Madrid

BTW. working with Wenger, must indeed be stressful. Steve Bould comes across looking older than Wenger.

[cheesy bites]

Cazorla looked scared to take responsibility there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif clueless again.

[Gooner23]

Everton have one of their ball boys playing at centre back. And we still can't score.

[Niall_Quinn]

:doh: We're out of the competition, NQ! They've gone further than us.

Right now we're being taken to school by Everton, coached by Roberto Martinez!

What I'm saying is Klopp presides over a nearly team too. Not saying he's good, bad or an alien, just saying this clamour for him is based on a whole pack of assumptions rather than results.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini as our link man. :haha:

Bif scroting it up.

[Niall_Quinn]

WHEN IS GIROUD GOING TO BE SUBBED?

This is just stupid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini. :haha:

I appreciate he makes the runs but talent wise...

[Niall_Quinn]

Put Flamini up top, he's better than Bif. Put Bif in a box and bury it.

[Power n Glory]

What I'm saying is Klopp presides over a nearly team too. Not saying he's good, bad or an alien, just saying this clamour for him is based on a whole pack of assumptions rather than results.

He's a damn good coach to get Dortmund to where they are on that budget. It's based on results.

[Niall_Quinn]

14 mins to go to subs.

[Niall_Quinn]

He's a damn good coach to get Dortmund to where they are on that budget. It's based on results.

Wenger 17 years in top 4 on crappy budget. By exactly the same token, good coach. Generalisations don't tell a fraction of the story.
