Arsenal vs Man City - Sat 13th September. 12.45pm.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

:ilt:

[GP]

Same as the last time we played them.

3-0

[Niall_Quinn]

It's us. We'll probably win this one.

[fakeyank]

This game is after the international break and an early KO. Only one result tbh..

1-5 to City.

[Letters]

Well, they just hammered Stoke so yeah, we have no chance.

[fakeyank]

They have Aguero, Jovetic and Dzeko to pick from as strikers. We have Sanogo. We might fluke a draw at best.

[Niall_Quinn]

In a sane world Alexis up top and at least a passing attempt to fix the broken system behind him so he's not completely isolated.

[fakeyank]

We have a passing system.. we pass backwards and sideways. Do you mean trying to make an attempt to score? What year do you think we are in.. 2004?

[selassie]

I think we'll draw or lose this. We've looked very patchy so far this season, a lot to do with players getting back to full fitness, integrating the new lads into the team and this new formation.

I don't see us winning this and quite frankly I would be very happy with a point.

[GP]

Is this on Sky or BT?

[Marc Overmars]

BT. :sick:

[Xhaka Can’t]

12:45 kickoffs are the worst.

[I am invisible]

[I am invisible]

12:45 kickoffs are the worst.

Have we played at a normal time yet this year?

Do we even have normal times any more, or does every match have it's own unique kick off now?

[Marc Overmars]

Actually think we might win this one.

2-1.

Tickets still available...for those who have a spare £90 lying around. :lol:

[Syn]

Koscielny, Arteta, Ozil, Gibbs back for this. We'll find out about Ramsey tomorrow but it didn't look good.

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

Debby-----Merty-------Kossy-------Monrelly

--------------------Artetty-------------------

Cazorlly-----Ozilly-------Wilshy------Sanchezzy

-----------------Daniel Welbeck---------------

Maybe Oxy will play ahead of Sanchezzy if Chilly had to play some meaningless game in southern Antarctica.

[Niall_Quinn]

Clattenberg to ref. Beck and Collin to assist.

Reffed us 3 times last year, 2 wins and the 0-0 vs Utd. Competency suspect but he doesn't cheat, so probably one of the better refs we could have got. Hoping he won't be a factor.

Can see us getting a result provided we aren't negative, probably a draw.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Actually think we might win this one.

2-1.

Tickets still available...for those who have a spare £90 lying around. :lol:

*checks down side of couch*

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Ironically, the best we've looked this season was against this lot. I fancy us for a draw if we defend well enough as I don't think they have quite got into their swing either.

[Munchies]

12:45 Saturday kick off

No repeats of last season please :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Arteta, Gibbs and Ozil fit for Saturday.

Ramsey has a minor ankle problem and has a "little chance".

Feo is "2-3 weeks away to join full training". :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

I thought Walcott was back in training? Does this mean he's injured again?

Fucking marvellous news about Ramsey. Some pointless shitty international against part time pubbers has potentially robbed us of a key player again.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I was feeling somewhat optimistic about this until it started looking as if we are going to start with Sanogo.

[I am invisible]

Walcott was aiming for a comeback against the spuds, but even that might be a little on the optimistic side...

[Alpha]

I can't remember the last City came to the Emirates and beat Arsenal in a League match . They came to defend like Bolton or Blackburn . A draw would be a bad result . Put them under pressure and a win is on the cards .

[Marc Overmars]

I can't remember the last City came to the Emirates and beat Arsenal in a League match . They came to defend like Bolton or Blackburn . A draw would be a bad result . Put them under pressure and a win is on the cards .

They beat us 0-2 the season before last.

[Niall_Quinn]

They beat us 0-2 the season before last.

Doesn't mean he can remember it.

If that what's fit (## #rainbowlaces) I'd swap Flamini and Wiltshire, Ox doesn't track back like terrier Alexis and Flamini might as well get his red card whilst weakening one of their many playa on that side.

[Munchies]

Ozil is available but Savage says that he'd drop him

I'd play Rosicky too

:gp:

I'd drop him too. I'd play Santi instead.

[Globalgunner]

If we dont play Ozil in his best position:10. Then its all a waste. Ramsey and Wilshere cant be accommodated at the same time as Ozil. It simply doese`nt work.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

To be fair I'd drop Ramsey for this game, if he picked up a knock in midweek really just not worth it (when you consider that we have Dortmund mid week). I'd play Ox on the left Sanchez on the right and (sigh) Welbeck up front with a midfield three of Wilshere, Ozil and Flamini.
Ramsey can come off the bench with twenty minutes to go to give us fresh legs, and probably score.


2-1 to us I reckon

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

:gp:

I'd drop him too. I'd play Santi instead.

Neither can play on the left, when Walcott is back we will have more option on the flanks and can play them in their strongest position.

You've not watched us for long then.

You've not watched us for long then.

I think he was probably one of our better players just think the way he was lauded as world class was laughable....he was a decent midfielder who could score goals, he certainly wasn't at the level of Pires....or anywhere near for that fact. And if i am being massively critical i'd say he actually had one good season for us.

Ramsey is fit and passed a fitness test (goal.com)

He had a knack for timing his runs in to the box. Of course, it helped that the through balls were usually played in by Dennis Bergkamp.

Subs: Ospina, Chambers, Gibbs, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Fernandinho, Lampard, Navas, Silva, Milner, Aguero.

Oh dear - just about as negative a team selection as possible. Whilshere and Flamini :doh: Fucking irritating considering we are at home and we beat them in the last meeting. Really surprised Arteta isn't playing because our ball retention will drop off a cliff with Flamini in there. Doubly surprised he's gone with Monreal if Gibbs is fit. Can only see Ozil playing on the left again given that line up. Total waste. What he's basically done is slotted Welbeck into the same shit formation and then added a sprinkle of negativity. Alexis will have to do it all on his own today if we are to get a result.

[Munchies]

Wearing my 06 Highbury shirt

Can't wait for the game lol

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ozil wide again :doh:

Ridiculous isn't it, i also don't think Wilshere and Ramsey play well together and one of them should be dropped (for me it should be Ramsey a) as he picked up a knock midweek and has had less rest time and b) didn't exactly play well for us in August well as Wilshere played out of his skin against Besiktas). Should be rotating more, Wilshere starts today and Ramsey starts in Dortmund.

Seems that City have abandoned 4-4-2....still fancy our midfield against theirs....Lampard??...seriously

[Niall_Quinn]

Lampard!!! I didn't see that - :haha: WTF?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Arteta is so slow at distributing the ball once we win possession back in our own half, it breaks down any possibility of a counter attack. But so does having Ramsey and Wilshere in midfield...Ramsey can't play behind the striker neither can Wilshere, so MC Hammer will be feeding on scraps.

[Munchies]

Lampard!!! I didn't see that - :haha: WTF?

Me neither, didn't even look at their team tbh, no Yaya ! :haha:

[Munchies]

That's what I said, Alexis will have to have a blinder.

Arteta is the best passer in the league. He's only slow if people are doing fuck all ahead of him, which with Ozil left and nobody supporting the striker is almost always. Ozil should be central behind Welbeck, that would give Arteta a constant option. Ramsey should play wide left so he can cover Monreal. It's very irritating to see the same shit over and over for every game. This fucked up formation didn't work against Leicester, do we think the gypos will be an easier nut to tip-tap to death? I feel sorry for Welbeck because he'll be up for it today, he'll cut a lone figure though. Cazorla should be playing too.

This is a stupid fucking line up.

[Niall_Quinn]

He's being ambitious somewhere or another.

This is a stupid fucking line up.

I just find that most of our counter attacks break down because of him, i am not disputing how good he is at passing but the problem is mainly he has to get the ball on his left foot all the time which eats up time that gives the opposistion time to get back.
Monreal and Debuchy need to drop deeper and stop the crosses coming in...and should in a better starting line leave Sanchez and Ox to bomb forward.
Cazorla can't play on the left either, so really it's a case of dropping either him or Ozil

[Munchies]

Wenger on Welbeck: "I got to airport at 7am. I heard Welbeck was available & I called his brother straight away."

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxaKfDXIIAA3OkY.jpg

I'm guessing his brother is his agent

[Munchies]

Scholes on Welbeck: "£16m is too cheap. If you ask Rooney & van Persie if they prefer to play with Falcao or Welbeck, they'll say Welbeck."

I would have put Cazorla in the centre - especially as Toure is not playing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck has never scored against Manchester City.

Apart from that FA Cup game when he scored, Stelling.

[hobson's choice]

Never been a fan off Jack and Ramsey playing together, and Ozil out wide is a very risky against a team like City

[Niall_Quinn]

Navas vs Monreal. Which made it essential not to play Ozil left. But we're just blundering into it again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wilshere bashing :bow:

Baaaa, baaaaa baaaaa. It's the fashion.

Fernandinho you pubber.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's deliberate foul play and should be a yellow card.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great dive Wheelchair. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey going for glory again. Wilshere did great bringing the ball out for the start of that attack.

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis shoots, Hart saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart Superman.

[Niall_Quinn]

Today the ref will mostly not be giving us free kicks.

Welbz going for the impossible and found it impossible.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ohhhhhhh fucccckk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz hit the post!

[Master Splinter]

Fuck!!!

[GP]

So unlucky!

[Munchies]

Holy shit!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Great try by Welbeck - like the confidence he clearly has in himself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :cloud9:

[Munchies]

Holy shit Alexis Wow!!!

[fakeyank]

Best I have seen us play in ages. Fucking brilliant! This what you pay the big bucks for!! Come on you fucking gooners!

[Xhaka Can’t]

We are really looking good - would love it to count for something because City do have the quality to score even when getting completely outplayed as they are now.

[GP]

Al over them. Need to make it count.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho's shot. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

What was that by Chesney?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful from Milner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Clear foul and should have been a yellow for Milner. Fucking ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho fouls Wilshere.

Drury. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Constant fouling by the gypos. No cards.

[Newguy]

Still think we're vulnerable to the counter attack but we're playing well

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Honest Frank booked.

Run at him!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Finally - a fucking card.

[Niall_Quinn]

At last. After 50 fouls Lampard booked.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Honest Frank booked.

Run at him!

He aint getting a red. No way.

[Master Splinter]

Run at him!

Most other refs would have waited for Lumps' ninth foul before the card.

[Newguy]

Ozil has been poor, really feel we're not getting the full 40+mill

[Niall_Quinn]

This refs a joke. Gives nothing for us, blows if one of their cunts falls over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey brainfart.

Zabaleta booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

We know what the gypos are here to do. A billion quid and all they want to do it kick everyone.

[Newguy]

The ghost of Ramsey past has returned it seems...

[Niall_Quinn]

Lesbo cunt getting booed. Rightly. Get ready for him flamster.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner shoots, over.

[fakeyank]

Ozil has been poor, really feel we're not getting the full 40+mill

Should have started Santi based on form and not price..

[Master Splinter]

Fucking love Sanchez me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Aguero.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't know why Wenger bought Ozil - you don't spend £40m+ and then play a guy out of position.

Fuuuck.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil has been poor, really feel we're not getting the full 40+mill


If he was playing in a role like silvas he'd be running the game.

[Master Splinter]

Fuck.

:doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger 0-1 gypos

[Munchies]

FUCK¬!!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Monreal is utter shit. And we all know it. Including Wenger.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger won't react. He won't fix the problem. He won't change a thing.

[Maestro]

ridiculous, why do we do this to ourselves

[adzzzbatch]

Rinse and repeat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches saves to deny David Silva.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our defence is going to screw us all season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Ches saves from Aguero.

[Maestro]

Wenger won't react. He won't fix the problem. He won't change a thing.

wenger is now the biggest handicap at arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flamini off, Cazorla on centrally. Ozil central. Ramsey wide left. Gibbs on for monreal. Game won.

What will actually happen. 72 mins, Podolski for Welbeck. 91 mins Gibbs for monreal.

[Xhaka Can’t]

wenger is now the biggest handicap at arsenal.

I think so.

[adzzzbatch]

All city now by the sounds of it on five live.

[Newguy]

Kos seems out of sorts...

[Niall_Quinn]

Monreal shouldn't be anywhere near their box given he doesn't have the pace to get back on counters. But there he is, running into the box.

[Xhaka Can’t]

waste

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis' freekick. :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

Sanchez can't take a free kick to save his life.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It is just all packed in the middle - no room and easy for City to defend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil shoots, way wide. Decent run though.

[fakeyank]

Ozil shot towards goal!! :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

Playing right into gypo hands. Back to tippy tap with a congested middle.

[Newguy]

I think Ozil is a flop

[adzzzbatch]

I think Ozil is a flop

:gp: defo.

[fakeyank]

Sanchez is a fucking beast!! Ozil is shit!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh billionaire scrotes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref is bent. Ironic on rainbow laces day.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Again - trying to play everything down the middle - there is no fucking room!

[Power n Glory]

That guy is garbage! :lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Again - trying to play everything down the middle - there is no fucking room!

that's because we have decided to play Ozil instead of having two genuine wide players

[Niall_Quinn]

Problem with Ozil is he's growing accustomed to playing on the periphery in the continually fucking stupid gameplan shitted out by Wenger. A fool could see how to fix this.

[fakeyank]

Ozil needs to be hauled off! :angry:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS same old story. Some decent play but we lose a goal to the counter.


Come on Wenger, time to earn your money here.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS same old story. Some decent play but we lose a goal to the counter.


Come on Wenger, time to earn your money here.

We see this time and time again!

[Niall_Quinn]

Milners 90th foul. Clear yellow. Not given. Instead the ref wastes a bit of time for the gypos.

[Munchies]

Flamini off, Cazorla on centrally. Ozil central. Ramsey wide left. Gibbs on for monreal. Game won.

What will actually happen. 72 mins, Podolski for Welbeck. 91 mins Gibbs for monreal.

Spot on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

[adzzzbatch]

Usual crap and the usual result at HT.

[A Gunner]

So should be ahead...

Alexis is immense!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, terrible tackle by debuchy. Deserved red. Fucking lucky Clattenberg kept his cards hidden that time.

ht

this team could beat the gypos today, no problem. But Wenger's blindness and ridiculous insistence on handicapping us with his team selections and tactics is chucking it all away.

[Master Splinter]

Getting caught out by the first great chance after playing well and dominating is more 2005-2010 Arsenal. So not really same old Arsenal.

But same old Arsenal seems to be whatever you want it to be.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ox to come on for either Wilshere or Ramsey, Ozil to either play behind Welbeck or come off for Cazorla

[Niall_Quinn]

Could anybody have been surprised monreal gave away a goal by having zero pace? This has been happening for months. Wenger keeps gifting the opposition this way. Crazy thing is Gibbs is on the bench.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini's role for that goal. The definition of ballwatching.

[adzzzbatch]

What was that we've faced 8 shots conceded 5 goals? :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

what a fucking awful goal to concede where the fuck is our defence?

[selassie]

At least we're not 4 nil down and out of sight. We started well failed to take our chances then lost our way after they scored. We look a bit out of shape tbh and suspect to the counter. We'll have to score at least 3 to win IMO. A draw would be a good result.

[Power n Glory]

Flamini's role for that goal. The definition of ballwatching.

:gp: all day. Just not good enough. He should have cut that off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flamini's role for that goal. The definition of ballwatching.

His defensive abilities are a myth. Same as monreal. Arteta on the bench. Joke. Gibbs on the bench. Joke. Ozil on the left. Joke. Cazorla on the bench. Joke. Wilshere and Ramsey competing against each other. Joke. Joke from the moment the team was announced and it he sends the same thing out without making changes he can piss off.

[Niall_Quinn]

what a fucking awful goal to concede where the fuck is our defence?

Plodding back, 30 yards behind the play as he always is.

[Munchies]

Flamini's role for that goal. The definition of ballwatching.

We don't need a CDM, Arteta/Flamini are enough

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Flamini has been horrible for a long time now. There is a reason why he was a free signing last year.

[Penguin]

I was expecting them to target Monreal, but tbf he hasn't done too badly. Kos and Merts though... WTF is wrong with them this season?

[Power n Glory]

His defensive abilities are a myth. Same as monreal. Arteta on the bench. Joke. Gibbs on the bench. Joke. Ozil on the left. Joke. Cazorla on the bench. Joke. Wilshere and Ramsey competing against each other. Joke. Joke from the moment the team was announced and it he sends the same thing out without making changes he can piss off.

It's changed mid game. Ozil ended the game on right and Sanchez on the left but closer to playing behind the striker.

It's the defence that's looking terrible. A goal was going to happen. We stand off the opposition and let City flood the box. That goal could have come from anywhere cause we're that bad and not switched on at the back like we were last season.

I was expecting them to target Monreal, but tbf he hasn't done too badly. Kos and Merts though... WTF is wrong with them this season?

They are both being dragged out of position and left with impossible choices because monreal is nowhere. Also Ozil left provides no cover at all. This is all very obvious. What goes on in the managers mind is a mystery.

No changes for us. What a fucking farce. He must be blind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :pray:

Old Man Lampard off, Nasri on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck's shot. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

No card for that foul. It's all very well letting the game flow but not when it's an open invitation for the gypos to kick everyone.

[adzzzbatch]

so a good 5 minute spell at the start of the 2nd half then city score?

[fakeyank]

We are doing everything but score.. and defend..

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Might as well put money on it tbh.

[Munchies]

[Niall_Quinn]

Jack :doh:

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey is so off his game!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho finally booked. Run at him!

[Ralpheroo72]

We are so vulnerable to the counter attack

[Niall_Quinn]

Yellow for scrotandinho, his 123rdfoul.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey is so off his game!


Hard to be on your game with jack standing on your toes. Hopeless formation and tactics.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Unbeaten record :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Unbeaten record :rose:

Total fraud in an Arsenal shirt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Power n Glory]

Zero movement from the team. Jack and Sanchez are the hardest workers out there.

[adzzzbatch]

Useless ozil.

[BOBN]

Only because we have no one to pass it to him
Midfield is horribly overrated.

Not a patch of Hleb-Cesc-Rosicky in 07/08 and this supppsed to be 42+30+30?+30? Million pounds worth of talent.

[Munchies]
