Sunderland - Arsenal

[Alpha]

Sunderland vs Arsenal . Saturday ,25/10/2014 .
Kick off : 15.00 .

Sunderland coming from a heavy defeat , their confidence might be very low or they may find this opportunity to bounce back .
But this might be too early for them .

Sunderland 1- 3 Arsenal , Sanchez , Cazorla , walcott .

[Niall_Quinn]

I think most people are still recovering from the midweek performance.

I don't expect to get excited or even interested in this game until around 2:58PM when I'll get first sight of the team Wenger has picked and say something along the lines of, "FUCK ME! WTF FFS! Fucking hell, fuckety, fuck, fuck! MONREAL?????"

At around 3:15PM I'll probably say, "I know this ref is a cunt, BUT... that doesn't excuse the shit we are serving up here!"

By 5PM I'll be noting the gap between ourselves and the chavs is likely too big to close, even at this early stage of the season.

By 5:15PM I'll have slammed half a bottle of single malt and I'll be lying on the floor, just for a minute, to get more comfortable.

[GP]

0-4

Monreal (3), Welbz

[Niall_Quinn]

0-4

Monreal (3), Welbz

LOL, Welbz won't score

[Marc Overmars]

They'll probably come out fired up after the mauling they took, but they're pretty shite so I'm going for a glorious pub win for us.

0-1.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Hmm no faith in us keeping clean sheets at the moment, we will need to play direct which won't be possible because Arteta, Wilshere and Ramsey will play.

Sunderland will take the lead and we will equalise 1-1

This. Great character and spirit to come back for a draw against a team just pumped for 8. <_<

We refuse to lose :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

We are not being properly rewarded for the quality of our play.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Alexis, Welbeck.

WUMger :bow:

Shittiest team he could have picked. No points today as a result.

[Globalgunner]

WUMger :bow:

Shittiest team he could have picked. No points today as a result.

WUMGER? Monreal at CB, Bellerin on the bench. Arteta and Flamini
It hasn't worked before, but by jove. He`ll try it again. Let me know when its over...Ill be watching something else.

[Niall_Quinn]

Settling down now for a couple of hours of tippy-tappy. Really looking forward to it. Really, really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Start as we mean to go on - hold it up and then pass to the opposition.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Slow, boring, careless shit all played in front of a brick wall. Maybe it'll work this time?

[Niall_Quinn]

Brown with an effort on his own goal. Our best chance so far.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cazorla with a terrible delivery from the set piece - who could have guessed?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shot from Alexis, goes miles wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis shoots wide. Looks like he just got bored of the tippy-tappy more than anything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Aanholt. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

So Wenger has sent them out and said, you know that incredibly shitty performance in mid-week? Play like that!

[adzzzbatch]

It looks like more of the same today.

[Niall_Quinn]

Agent Mannone spills it - but nobody there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone tried to gift us a goal, didn't work.

[Niall_Quinn]

S'land have accepted our generous invitation to get into the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A bit of head tennins in our area, nothing comes of it though.

[adzzzbatch]

The team that lost 8-0 last week are playing better than us :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Welbz, not far over.

[adzzzbatch]

Not a bad effort from danny

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck wit a pot shot, just over.

Welbeck, Ox and Alexis trying to get busy but the midfield is so crap, static, jogging in formation.

[Niall_Quinn]

The stream froze and I didn't notice for a couple of minutes - thought we were on a break.

[adzzzbatch]

It's surprisingly quite an open game.

[adzzzbatch]

Dirty fuckers

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodwell gets away without a booking for...well no idea.

[Niall_Quinn]

Storm in a teacup FK to us, which results in the ball going all the way back to Ches. Pathetic stuff.

[Niall_Quinn]

We can't pass :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

We're so shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful passing from Welbeck in quick succession.

[Niall_Quinn]

Foul on ox - not given. Foul by Gibbs - given - booked. :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

This ref is shit! And we get the first yellow :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs booked. Of course.

[adzzzbatch]

This is fucking awful!

[Niall_Quinn]

We can't pass :haha:

S'land's best moves are being created by us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo warming up :bow:

Wenger said yesterday he won't play him (so why is he on the bench?)

[adzzzbatch]

Sunderland all over us

[Niall_Quinn]

Good defending by Merts.

[Niall_Quinn]

What a stupid foul by Nacho. No effort to challenge for the ball.

[Power n Glory]

We're finished. What the heck has happened to us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!! :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis !

What a great player, great finish. Proper class.

[adzzzbatch]

ALEXIS!!! GET IN!!!

[GP]

Brilliant! A well deserved lead.

[Munchies]

Weve got Sanchezzzzzz

ALEXISSSSSS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wes Brown. :haha:

Sums up English technique in one fell swoop.

[Power n Glory]

Thank you, Wes Brown!

Sanchez was perfect for that situation. Cool finish.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brown does a Terry :haha:

Alexis clean through, keeps his nerve, calmly chips it over the diving Mannone. Quality.

0-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ball lofted in from Ox, gave Welbz no chance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Goal never happens if Alexis is playing Wenger tippy tappy bullshit. Instead he was hassling the backline and looking for any break that came his way. Made the goal all by himself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not far wide from Santi.

[adzzzbatch]

Close from Cazorla

[GP]

Close from Santiago.

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi wide. Perhaps Alexis has woken them up with the goal?

[Darknight02]

Alexis is fast becoming my favourite player in this side. True warrior. The only Arsenal player who would have made and scored that goal.

We are shit and will continue to be so until Wumger remains in charge.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta goes for a shot, fuck knows why.

[Darknight02]

Everytime I see just how unsure of himself Monreal is at the back, the blood begins to boil!

[Munchies]

someone post the gif plz? listening to it on the radio

[Niall_Quinn]

It's weird and maybe a pure coincidence, but when you put defenders under pressure they seem to make mistakes. Could this be something we could work with to improve our game?

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis battling away again :bow:

Averaging a goal every other game. Gets kicked to bits in every game but runs for the whole 90.

Hasn't settled yet according to Daily Heil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone didn't do the right thing and let that one go in, Charmers denied.

[Niall_Quinn]

Danny having a stinker so far.

[adzzzbatch]

Wow a Sunderland yellow card!

[Niall_Quinn]

Larrson booked for a fucking awful foul on Alexis. Scraped his studs down his calf. Certainly deliberate.

[Munchies]

Alexis battling away again :bow:

Averaging a goal every other game. Gets kicked to bits in every game but runs for the whole 90.

Hasn't settled yet according to Daily Heil.

He's already done more than Ozil has :lol:

Sanchez :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :cloud9:

We've replaced Sagna's chest.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great opportunity with players running in on goal - turned it into shit though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Three times Alexis gets the ball wide, three times he looks up to see every one of our players rooted to the spot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eleven men in the box defending for Sunderland. :haha:

What do you do?

[adzzzbatch]

Triangles :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

More appalling tippy-tappy that ends without an effort on goal.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off fletcher

[Niall_Quinn]

Poyet's impersonation of Basil Fawlty is pretty good.

[Marc Overmars]

Alexis. :cloud9:

[adzzzbatch]

Gibbs injured, probably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 0-1 The Arsenal, HT. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-1 Alexis

Pitiful performance again. If Alexis hadn't done it all himself we wouldn't have scored if we'd played 450 minutes that half. Slow. Static. Careless. Negative. BORING.

Sunderland with everyone behind the ball so the one thing you don't do is play slow, static, careless, negative, boring football. But we've done it anyway.

Welbeck awful that half. Arteta and Flamini, yawn. Alexis yards ahead of the rest, metaphorically and physically. Ox tried now and again. Otherwise it's painful stuff.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seven goals for Alexis now. Hmm, he's for sure getting over 20 I say.

[Master Splinter]

Alexis struggling to settle.

Big money flop.

Another Ozil.

Mertesacker is slow.

Arsenal don't like it up em but they should appreciate being booked for their first foul while their opponents can hack, scythe and barge at will with the blessing of the ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis struggling to settle.

Big money flop.

Another Ozil.

Mertesacker is slow.

Arsenal don't like it up em but they should appreciate being booked for their first foul while their opponents can hack, scythe and barge at will with the blessing of the ref.

Remember than dive by Pires?

[Marc Overmars]

Remember than dive by Pires?

The first dive in the history of the sport IIRC.

[GP]

The first dive in the history of the sport IIRC.

First and last.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And came in the 95th minute to salvage a draw for us I am led to believe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Here we go, second half, Sunderland vs Alexis.

[GP]

Seven goals for Alexis now. Hmm, he's for sure getting over 20 I say.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0zNTXOCYAAbTuu.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0zNTXOCYAAbTuu.jpg

He'll get 10. And then die again. :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Careless stuff.

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi :doh: Fucking hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sort your life out Carzola.

[Power n Glory]

What a bullshit booking!

[GP]

This ref is bent.

[Master Splinter]

Ref will even that up by giving Sunderland a pelanty for a dive outside the box.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck falls over from a shoulder to shoulder. Booked. Deserved. All our players deserved to get booked. I'm sure the ref will oblige.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fletcher hauled off, Wickham on.

[Master Splinter]

This ref is bent.

It's only us and Garry Monk who seem to realise that they are.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good defending by Merts again - he's been better today. Then Ches makes a save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done BFG.

Ches saves from Rodwell.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Errr so what else was he supposed to do, referee? Crash straight into the defender?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta booked.

Booted Rodwell right in the mush.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arteta high boot - totally accidental, player didn't make a big deal of it, ref can't resist the card though. Just 7 more players to go and he has the set.

[Niall_Quinn]

What hateful football we play :haha: There's nothing to commend it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis with a good ball, Welbeck bottles the shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini trying to get to that ball. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis with the shot - not a great effort, but at least an effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox has to be doing better there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox :doh:

It's super pub footie now. Flamini with a Flaminiish challenge, gets away with it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cattermole booked, run at him!

[Niall_Quinn]

Better from Ox. Cattermole gets his card.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis' chest. :bow:

Shame about the pass.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Larsson shoots, Ches saves.

And guess what, Gibbs injured.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wickham with late challenge, no booking, really?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No booking for Wickham? Just lumped Arteta in to the air.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another foul by Wickham, now he's booked. So that really should have been red. The free foul rule saved him.

[GP]

Should be his 2nd yellow.

[Master Splinter]

Wickham and Rodwell should be off.

It's a fucking joke.

It will even itself up when Szczesny is sent off for catching the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our set pieces. :lol:

Why even bother?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs injured again, it's ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs has been playing injured - finally it looks like Bellerin will replace him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should be his 2nd yellow.

Free foul rule - if you aren't an Arsenal player then you are permitted to kick an Arsenal player 15 times but on the 16th time, provided it occurs in the last 5 minutes of the match, a yellow card will be awarded to Arteta.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Zzzzz

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs off, Bellerin on.

[Niall_Quinn]

The extra 15 mins playing injured should keep Gibbs out for longer. Arsenal medical gurus :bow:

[Power n Glory]

Bitch boy injured again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodwell off, Gomez on.

Johnson off, Altidore on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gomes and Altiodore on, Rodwell (who should be off anyway) and Johnson off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Altidore up in the air but only heads it straght back up, easy for Ches.

[Master Splinter]

Takes an injury for players to play in their rightful positions in defence.

WUMger :bow:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts limping too.

[Niall_Quinn]

So poor by Cazorla.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox. :lol:

We need much better.

[Niall_Quinn]

Our midfield is powederpuff, every team we play just runs through it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz header over.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck with a header towards goal, should have done a lot better.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches you fucking idiot.

[Niall_Quinn]

High boot in the face on Welbeck - no card this time, no FK.

Ches all over the place, must be getting bored.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is just shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dive by S'land player. No card.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It's coming.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Absolute pub team.

Please change our attack Wenget.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck weak there - should have got the shot in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla shot, weak.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pathetic effort from Santi - he's been so poor today.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're back to being featherweights, but with the added bonus of not being able to pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What was that? :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking hell - is that supposed to be a break :haha: Ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cattermole shot, not troubling at all.

Arteta off, Ramsey on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wtf has happened to us?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fortunately S'land are awful. Any decent team would have ripped us to shreds.

Ramsey on for Arteta - an utterly pointless substitution.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Santi sums up his performance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wtf has happened to us?

We haven't been the same since Wenger moved all those beds onto the training pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox off, Rosicky on.

Why now? :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky coming on, Ox off. Just a time wasting sub.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Can't pass. Can't shoot. Can't take set pieces. No movement. No pace. Fix theses issues and we'll be great.

Another pathetic attempt by Santi.

[Master Splinter]

Cazorla :haha:.

Dear God.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Agent Mannone! 0-2

Alexis puts it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agent Mannone. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

MANNONE :bow:.

[GP]

No less then we deserve.

[Darknight02]

If none of you dipshits can do it, I'll do it myself.

What a player.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sunderland 0-2 Sunderland (Alexis with both)

[A Gunner]

If none of you dipshits can do it, I'll do it myself.

What a player.

It's so obvious, that's need not be stated!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal, FT.

Another glorious win. :scarf:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 0-2

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

What a load of rubbish!

[Globalgunner]

Did we win?. Been watching Liverhoof stomp out a glorious draw. How did we play?

[Niall_Quinn]

Did we win?. Been watching Liverhoof stomp out a glorious draw. How did we play?

We didn't

[Globalgunner]

We didn't
Thought so. WENGER OUT!!!!!!!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Sanchez won it for us on pretty much effort alone. Wonder if anyone will take heed.
