QPR V Arsenal, Wed 4th March 1945 KO

[fakeyank]

1-1 draw tbh

Ozil should not start. Play Rozza instead and we are good.

[Xhaka Can’t]

0-6

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 draw tbh

Ozil should not start. Play Rozza instead and we are good.

Ozil covered more ground than any player in the team on Sunday (11.6km) and provided 2 assists. The idea he's lazy is a myth. The idea he's a flop is pure myth. The problem is how do we fit him into the team to best advantage and get Cazorla on the pitch too. That's Wenger's job, not mine. I'll be surprised if he's dropped though, given his excellent form.

[fakeyank]

He is possibly the greatest player.. but he doesnt fit in with our style of play. Between Cazorla and him, it is a no brainer who is better suited to us. Unless Wenger has figured out the magic formula, its better to start Rosicky or Ramsey there.

[Marc Overmars]

Our matches with QPR tend to be tight pub affairs and I expect more of the same here.

0-1.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I have a feeling we are going to batter them.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Not sure if the stat on today's arsecast was for Arsenal players or Prem player's overall but the top best players in terms of assists to minutes ratio of all time in the prem are....


1.Reyes
2.Fabregas
3.Ozil

...oh and I think we'll beat The Queen's rangers.

[selassie]

Can see us slipping up here, this is going to be a hard game IMO.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No chance. QPR are going to get it.

You'll see.

[Marc Overmars]

Ramsey is back for this.

[GP]

0-3

[Injury Time]

Ramsey is back for this.

3-0 :ilt:

[Globalgunner]

Id rather we left Ozil and Sanchez out of this one. We should be able to beat Rangers even with a team including Wilshire or Ramsey. Id like Rosicky to start with Theo

0-2

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Same.

Think the likes of Alexis and Ozil should be given a break. Start Rosicky and Theo tbh.

[Munchies]

Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Gibbs, Coquelin, Cazorla, Rosicky, Özil, Alexis, Giroud.
Subs: Martinez, Koscielny, Chambers, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Welbeck

[The Emirates Gallactico]

So much for dropping Alexis and Ozil then.

Wenger's going to burn them to the ground. :doh:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

So much for dropping Alexis and Ozil then.

Wenger's going to burn them to the ground. :doh:

Get serious, Wenger doesn't do rotation

Also Szczesny doesn't make the bench, did he take a dump on Wenger's car?

[Marc Overmars]

Theo, Welbeck, Oxlade all on the bench. Huh?

Do not forget we must accommodate 167 central based attacking midfielders.

[Niall_Quinn]

Team is very unbalanced again so it'll be another slog. Should still win it if we don't do the crazy miss everything routine.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Get serious, Wenger doesn't do rotation

Also Szczesny doesn't make the bench, did he take a dump on Wenger's car?

I know ..... I was expecting it despite my post. You'd think Wenger would realise to use the full extent of his squad by now.

As NQ says below the team is very unbalanced. No pace apart from Alexis.


Theo, Welbeck, Oxlade all on the bench. Huh?


Wenger hates GHELs. :(

Subs: Martinez, Koscielny, Chambers, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Welbeck

1-0 up, Ramsay as sub at 69 mins lose 2-1 after he goes back to his going for glory shots. 3 fans injured.*

*maybe

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Injury Time]

QPR 0-0 Arsenal
Posted at 19:50
Steady start at Loftus Road, nothing much going on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin cross, easy for Green.

[Niall_Quinn]

We just don't have any organisation or purpose in our play any more. We are so average.

[Munchies]

We just don't have any organisation or purpose in our play any more. We are so average.

atleast zamora hasnt scored yet..

last time he played at highbury :rose:

[fakeyank]

Ozil shit as usual

[Niall_Quinn]

This is just shit. So bored of watching disjointed crap like this week after week.

[Master Splinter]

Sandro and King Scrote Karl Henry in their midfield. :sick:

We'll do well to escape with just four injuries.

[Niall_Quinn]

Flicks, tricks and ultimately loss of possession. Simple has been banned.

[Niall_Quinn]

Austin is very good at diving. Very convincing.

[Master Splinter]

We've let RPQ take command of the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina's punching. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud HAS to do better in closing down. Running a little triangle between the defenders while making no real effort to close down any of them is a waste of time. He needs to jump of he wants to win headers, etc.

[Globalgunner]

When does the Arsenal team arrive. Seems they got stuck in traffic again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sandro. :haha:

Pub.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina saves from Austin.

Don't let it bounce Gabriel.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gabriel having issues with PL hoof-a-ball again. He needs to learn fast.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Austin. :lol:

Offside.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lucky to get away with that. Just offside, Bellerin makes the right call. But the easy they passed the ball through us, shocking.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs has spent more time complaining than playing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Worth a try by Rosicky. At least it was something out of the dreary usual.

[Niall_Quinn]

On the plus side Giroud provides goals, on every other side he's second rate.

[Master Splinter]

Henry booked. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry booked, run at him!

[Niall_Quinn]

Henry booked. Bad news because now he can foul safe in the knowledge he won't get the second yellow.

[Master Splinter]

Gibbs has spent more time complaining than playing.

He was right to complain both times.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin booked. :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin booked for fuck all. Atrocious referee. Fucking useless.

[Injury Time]

Gibbs has spent more time complaining than playing.


He was right to complain both times.

Yes but the filling out the complaints form is a bit much

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Ospina.

[Niall_Quinn]

He was right to complain both times.

But wrong not to bother playing so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel injured already. :doh:

On comes Kos.

[Injury Time]

Bellerin booked for fuck all. Atrocious referee. Fucking useless.

Fooled you with Henry booking, expect a sending off

[Niall_Quinn]

Gabriel injured, Kos coming on. He's settling in quickly then, straight to the treatment room.

[Master Splinter]

Gabriel's first injury since 1994.

[Globalgunner]

Giroud is a Ford Mustang in a showroom full of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bugattis.

Ospina is the hardest working player on the pitch.

Gabriel off. We are being bested by the team 2nd from bottom

[fakeyank]

QPR playing like Fat Sams teams

[Niall_Quinn]

Just a matter of time until Rangers score. We aren't competing. Wenger hasn't even bothered to do his coat up. It's all so sleepy and dreamy.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Brilliant from Ospina.

If by brilliant you mean punching it straight back into danger, i agree

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud hasn't made one challenge so far. He's a yard behind everything. He'd better wake up FFS.

[Niall_Quinn]

If by brilliant you mean punching it straight back into danger, i agree

tbf he palmed it to the side.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

does anyone know how bad the injury is to skeletor?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Onuoha headbutts Caulker. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

does anyone know how bad the injury is to skeletor?

Looked like a hamstring. It'll be little bit 2 weeks (Arsenal time)

[Niall_Quinn]

Onuoha won't be able to drive in the Australian GP now :doh:

[fakeyank]

Looked like a hamstring. It'll be little bit 2 weeks (Arsenal time)

2 leap years then..

[Master Splinter]

He finally gets his reward for his insistence on pushing Giroud on every area of the pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb move, Green saves from Carzola.

[Niall_Quinn]

Absolutely crap by Santi.

Had Giroud available for the pass.

[Injury Time]

Gabriel's first injury since 1994.

Really?!

Our fitness team really are optimising their crippling efficiency :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

3 extra minutes of this to endure until HT

[Niall_Quinn]

This must be a deliberate tactic. Only play the last 5 mins of each half.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

Fucking awful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. I think we'll win, QPR suck the big one.

[Power n Glory]

Giroud is a Ford Mustang in a showroom full of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bugattis.

Ospina is the hardest working player on the pitch.

Gabriel off. We are being bested by the team 2nd from bottom

Ford Mustang is a beast of a car. You must mean Ford Focus! :lol:

But who are the Lambos and Ferraris in this team?

[Niall_Quinn]

QPR much the better team. And they aren't any good.

Giroud a waste of space. He refused to challenge for the ball.

Ozil and Cazorla careless.

Rosicky again not great as a starter.

Gabriel looked very dodgy until he went off injured.

Gibbs just shite.

Coq has been doing what he can in the absence of a midfield in front of him.

Bellerin, Alexis two best performances mainly because of effort rather than product.

Merts - M E H! Hasn't made any mistakes which is good for him I suppose.


Passing crap, shooting crap, pace and temp - none.

This manager has to go. He's sent out another unbalanced team with zero tactics and zero ambition. I can see us grabbing a win and sticking in third but that's not a good enough reason to tolerate shit football like this.

[AFC Leveller]

Another dismal away performance where we look like we have never played football. keep losing it and looking blunt.

could lose this, Ospina doesnt fill me with confidence

[rodders]

When will the penny drop with Wenger? Well past his sell by date!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

When will the penny drop with Wenger? Well past his sell by date!!!

Penny will never drop, he's far too careful with money.

[Niall_Quinn]

No changes by Wenger. As everyone could have guessed.

So let's pub on and see if we can randomly win this.

[AFC Leveller]

QPR have two rookie full backs yet we havent tested them all night.

great tactis by vinegar.

[Niall_Quinn]

Immediately we give the ball away 3 times in a minute. Whatever Wenger said at half time, if anything, has changed nothing.

[Globalgunner]

Ford Mustang is a beast of a car. You must mean Ford Focus! :lol:

But who are the Lambos and Ferraris in this team?

I'm using the world as a stage, comparing Giroud to what is available out there. This team has two supercars: Sanchez and Ozil but they are being serviced by a Crane technician (Wenger). Misfires are to be expected. A mustang is just American Pig Iron with a live axle and a big engine. Its not a supercar

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky. :bow:

Green saves from Alexis.

[AFC Leveller]

Ozil was being man handled there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Hill is on for Onuoha.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pzom was being man handled there.

Pzom. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Better by Rosicky.

Henry pulles down Ozil just as he's about to score. Red for Henry and Cazorla converts the pen, 1-0!

No wait... That's what should have happened.

What really happened is the ref bottled it.

[Master Splinter]

Everything in RPQ's favour so far.

Clear corner denied, Gibbs push in the box laughed off, cheap yellow card for Bellerin, pelanty on Ozil, red card for Henry.

Arteta being faxed a ten-game ban as I type.

[AFC Leveller]

Is there a bigger scrote than Henry? he is on a yellow and should have been red carded there, blatantly brought Ozil down.

[AFC Leveller]

Sandro has commited 8 fouls, refs tells him he has 5 left before being verbally cautioned.

[Niall_Quinn]

The blatant, stonewall, certain, 100%, no doubt about it, beyond a shadow pen that we weren't given might have a silver lining if Friend tries to even it up. Provided he doesn't do it by booking Arteta.

[Master Splinter]

Henry will be subbed now, after carrying out his instructions perfectly. He'll probably throw in a two-footer as he walks off, for which Bould will be booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get up Hoilett.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Henry will be subbed now, after carrying out his instructions perfectly. He'll probably throw in a two-footer as he walks off, for which Bould will be booked.

Standard PL tactics, this is a "robust" best league in the world. We don't need no stinking football here thanks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sandro off, Kranjcar on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sandro off, he's worn himself out fouling. Chuck Norris on.

[Globalgunner]

One rubbish Spud come on for another

[Niall_Quinn]

Hoillet with a cynical foul right in front of the ref. Bellerin lucky not to get a second yellow. Hoillet sure as hell not booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis shoots, way wide really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger with some zip action. Precursor to earning his wages? Or another false dawn?

[AFC Leveller]

If we dont score against a defence containing Hill, Furlong and Lee, the players and manager shoulf be fined.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Phillips hammers it but wide it goes.

[Niall_Quinn]

If we dont score against a defence containing Hill, Furlong and Lee, the players and manager shoulf be killed.

:gp:

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud clears the danger again. QPRs only decent defender.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some really violent shit coming in from QPR now. If we escape with just the one injury it'll be very fortunate.

Alexis finally gets the hump with Giroud.

[AFC Leveller]

Ozil has been lively.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky volleys, Green saves from one going wide.

[AFC Leveller]

BIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFF

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal you rancid lot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!!!!

[Globalgunner]

At last!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

BIF!!!!!!

[GP]

GIROUDDDD!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud!

Finally.

Pubber but they all count.

[Marc Overmars]

Giroud!!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Commentators are cutting their wrists on my stream.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger get out of jail free again.

[fakeyank]

Giroud :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Commentators feel that the "rub of the green" hasn't gone RPQ's way because of that goal. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Green denies Alexis finally getting off 18.

[AFC Leveller]

Green again with the save.

2nd goal on the counter definitely on.

[Munchies]

Giroud :bow:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MqSJMnrHPLw

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a bad effort by Alexis. Thought he could have done better though.

[AFC Leveller]

WTF was that alexis you scrote

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What are you doing Alexis?

[Niall_Quinn]

Commentators feel that the "rub of the green" hasn't gone RPQ's way because of that goal. :haha:

If you don't mention the pen and the red card then they won't either.

Alexis :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Wtf Alexis?

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis has caught Wengeritis.

Great cross by Bellerin but nobody challenging in the box.

[AFC Leveller]

wow take a bow son alexis you sexy beast

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!!!!

[GP]

What a goal! :lol:

[Master Splinter]

ALEXIS SANCHEZ!!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Holy shit - Alexis is better :bow:

0-2

what a goal

[Marc Overmars]

Alexis!!

That's more like it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis so tough not even Wenger can kill him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's back. :bow:

[fakeyank]

Alexis :bow:

[AFC Leveller]

Players ignoring wenger's instructions to let RPQQ back in the game, great credit to them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now that it's 2-0 we need to stop playing and Wenger needs to make some really silly subs.

[fakeyank]

Take off Alexis and bring Theo on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some knuckle dragger coming in for Hoillet.

[Globalgunner]

"Calm down and give the ball to Alexis". That needs to be on a T shirt

[GP]

Junior Toilett hauled off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can we give a team a good pumping away from home?

[AFC Leveller]

3 ahead od Man ure as it stands

[Marc Overmars]

Can we give a team a good pumping away from home?

Auto pilot mode now tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Bellerin is a bit good.

Fuck off Barca and fuck your DNA.

[Niall_Quinn]

Can we give a team a good pumping away from home?

I asked Arsene and he says perhaps, if we can do it we will, but definitely no.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Green and the post deny Pzom!

[AFC Leveller]

fuck green is on fire

should have been the third there

[Niall_Quinn]

Super effort by Ozil.

This is more like it.

Entertainment :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bring Welbeck or Theo on for Giroud please.

[Marc Overmars]

Bring Welbeck or Theo on for Giroud please.

Computer says no.

[AFC Leveller]

Bring Welbeck or Theo on for Giroud please.

Chambers more like

or Chesney as cover for Gibbs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suk Young booked.

[Master Splinter]

Ryo booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even Friend has to get the card out for that cynical hack by Yun.

[fakeyank]

Where is Theo!?!

[GP]

Suk Young booked.

Thought he played for Sunderland.

[AFC Leveller]

wengeritis strtikes again at the death

[Master Splinter]

Thought he played for Sunderland.

No, he manages Arsenal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Austin. :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

We just let Austin score.

And I mean we LET HIM SCORE.

How simple was that?

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck off.

[Munchies]

fuck

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs and Kos you berks.

[fakeyank]

Oh ow.. :upset:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger really needs a pillow. What's the point of that coat if you don't have a pillow?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

For once, why couldn't we just not be dickheads?

[Niall_Quinn]

We need to find a way of going from 1-0 to 3-0 because 2-0 is a curse.

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal giving a team a pumping :haha:.

WUMger revelling in RPQ's miraculous comeback.

[Niall_Quinn]

WENGER YOU COCK!

Make a change! Give them something else to think about rather than let them settle into a fightback!

Giroud slow again. He's been useless. Bring Theo on and pump it over the top.

[Munchies]

if zamora scores = :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky off, Ramsey on.

:lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky off for Ramsey.

This manager is clueless. Absolutely clueless.

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey coming on for Rosicky. Loks like Wengers warning him not to be a dickhead

[KSE Comedy Club]

Why is theo not allowed to play anymore???

IS wenger determined to take out any pace we have in this team ??!!

[Niall_Quinn]

We should bring Gibbs off and bring Gibbs' identical twin on, just to shake things up.

[AFC Leveller]

henry still fouling

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud challenged for a ball :bow:

[Munchies]

Hold on ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

henry still fouling

There was no way he was ever getting a second yellow, even for that blatant foul in the box.

[Niall_Quinn]

4 mins extra. The default.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four minutes hair tearing remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We should bring Gibbs off and bring Gibbs' identical twin on, just to shake things up.

Ox. :bow:

[KSE Comedy Club]

Bring in theo it capitulate in clueless misery.

Hmm

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox. :bow:

Lacist

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pzom off, Welbeck on.

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Looney bloke brings on Welbz for Ozil.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 1-2

We hang on.

Our manager is clueless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QPR 1-2 Arsenal, FT.

Another stunning win.

[AFC Leveller]

ft

well done

not really.

[Marc Overmars]

Pubbed it out again but an important 3 points with everyone around us winning.

Thrilling stuff.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Thank fuck for that, holding on against QPR ffs

[adzzzbatch]

:haha: Missed this one as I'm out watching stand up comedy. None of the acts are as good as Wenger though!

[Letters]

:haha: Missed this one as I'm out watching stand up comedy. None of the acts are as good as Wenger though!
Yeah! In our last 11 league games we've only won 9. What a useless **** he is!


:rolleyes:

[adzzzbatch]

Yeah! In our last 11 league games we've only won 9. What a useless **** he is!


:rolleyes:

Oh come off it Letters where did I call him a ****? Quite a few of our wins have been inspite of Wenger and his lack of tactics in games especially in games where the opposition have pulled one back!

[Letters]

Just seen the highlights, we battered them 2nd half. It looked like a pretty good performance in that half and while we concede (good goal, tbf) MoTD didn't show anything after the goal which rather implies QPR never came close to equalising.
A manager lives or dies by results, it's a bit rich to whine about the manager for defeats and then still whine about him when we win.

You would have been the first to say we 'bottled it' had we dropped points, we get a pretty decent win and you're still not happy :shrug:
