Arsenal v Leeds United, 16:30 GMT (14/02, SS Main Event)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Think we'll be asking for trouble if we sit back against these ultra-attacking maniacs.

Therefore that is probably exactly what we'll do. :bow:

No Partey or Tierney still. Tierney might be back for Citeh at least.

[GP]

:gp:

[Marc Overmars]

Xhaka and Ceballos in midfield. Auba up top. Oh dear!

Bum City.

[dazthegooner]

Wonder how long we will have to play with 10 today? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wonder how long we will have to play with 10 today? :unsure:

90 minutes by the looks of it.

[Mac76]

he's got Mari AND Holding on the bench but no, let's play the clown who always gets sent off and put him up against Bamford

it truly beggars belief

is there anyone else in the known universe who would make that decision, yet alone get a seven-figure salary for doing it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saving them for the Europa League tie. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Letters]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Agreed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESR sends it miles away. :lol:

[Mac76]

ESR sends it miles away. :lol:

i'm still waiting for kick-off... :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin as accurate as ESR was. :lol:

[Letters]

Bellerin as accurate as ESR was. :lol:

How can professional footballers be that inept.
It’s genuinely baffling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful pass from Xhaka.

[Mac76]

bellerin :haha:

[Mac76]

Woeful pass from Xhaka.

agreed

[Globalgunner]

Woeful pass from Xhaka.

Wont be the last time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds shouldn't need to worry about conceding from set-pieces against us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cedric. :haha:

What was that?

[Letters]

Holy shit how can you not get a cross in from there?
How much are these guys paid? :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!

He's back!

[Mac76]

cedric :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Auba!!!

He’s back!

[Letters]

Auba!!!

He’s back!

Noice.

Classic Auba goal. Haven’t seen that enough this season.

[Mac76]

AUBAMEYANG!!!

He's back!

great goal

[Marc Overmars]

Noice.

Classic Auba goal. Haven’t seen that enough this season.

Hopefully his confidence is back now. He’s much better when he’s direct with his play.

That’s the kind of goal you don’t get from Lacashite. All the hold up play is well and good but he won’t get defenders retreating like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klich joins in on shots belted out of the stadium.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard saw something nobody else did. :lol:

[GP]

Odegaard saw something nobody else did. :lol:

Split the defence and the attack

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shot, deflected over.

David Luiz's contribution to that attack. :wacko:

[Marc Overmars]

What a block to deny Auba :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba gave it away but then pressed it all the way back. :bow:

[Mac76]

Odegaard saw something nobody else did. :lol:

it was a good ball actually but neither Auba or Dani were ready for it

[Letters]

What a block to deny Auba :blink:

Yes. Good move by us but good defence.

[Mac76]

dreadful corner from Saka

[Letters]

Auba gave it away but then pressed it all the way back. :bow:

Can you pause for a couple of minutes so you’re as far behind as my stream.
Ta :d

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty!

Saka. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Penalty!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR asking for it to be looked at again, will probably be overturned.

[Marc Overmars]

Can you pause for a couple of minutes so you’re as far behind as my stream.
Ta :d

Maccy knows what’s going on before the players even do.

[Mac76]

Can you pause for a couple of minutes so you’re as far behind as my stream.
Ta :d

:gp:

(three minutes actually for me...)

[GP]

VAR asking for it to be looked at again, will probably be overturned.

We never get a break.

[Globalgunner]

Andre Marriner is the VAR. May be overturned

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No pel.

[GP]

Of course :rolleyes:

[Globalgunner]

Andre Marriner is the VAR. May be overturned

And so it is

[GP]

It was a pel and a red for Luiz for far less than that.

[Letters]

:lol: Ref gets it right...then gets it wrong with VAR.
Utter bullshit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard with some tekkers. :bow:

[Mac76]

Cooper leaned into him ffs

it certainly wasn't a clear and obvious error...

[Letters]

It was a pel and a red for Luiz for far less than that.
I keep arguing that they aren’t all anti Arsenal but shit like this keeps happening, it does make you wonder.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's a pelanty surely?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messlier more like. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!! 2-0!!!

[Globalgunner]

Andre Marriner couldn't overturn this one

[Letters]

Referees :bow:

Auba pel!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BELLERIN!!!

How did that phase of play keep up?!

[GP]

HECCY B!!!

Great goal!

[Letters]

What a goal!
All started with Saka weaving across the box. Brilliant.

[Mac76]

3-0

:scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 HT. Good work.

[Globalgunner]

In a minute or so I'll wake up and this will have been a dream

[GP]

Good half.

[Mac76]

nice pass from Dani to Hector

[Letters]

3-0

:scarf:
:lol:

How’s Ted Drake playing?

[Mac76]

:lol:

How’s Ted Drake playing?

not bad for a young player just starting out ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

How’s Ted Drake playing?

Could've done with exhuming him for the Villa games this season.

[Gooner23]

Lovely half, nice to be so ruthless for a change.

Saka is just too good, best player on the pitch by a distance.

[Mac76]

playing at his best in this game - should have got that first pel but just went again and won one anyway :lol:

"The third is a bit of a gallery play" Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink. :bow:

He’s so direct. I love how he runs at the defenders. We don’t do anywhere near enough of that. Causes all kinds of problems.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matt Riddle's theme playing this time! :haha:

[Mac76]

Odegaard :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESR. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Leno to deny Raphinha.

[Letters]

Auba :bow:

[Mac76]

Aubameyaaaaaang
Aubameyaaaaaang
Aubameyang, Aubameyang, Aubameyaaaaaang!!

[Globalgunner]

[Letters]

It’s going to finish 4-5, isn’t it? :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard shot saved by Meslier, Cedric hits the follow-up wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESR off, Willian on for a +1. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heavy touch from Bellerin.

[Globalgunner]

Willian definitely has that clause in his contract. Doesn't he?

[Mac76]

awful first touch from bellerin

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raphinha across goal, shite from Ceballos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-2 Costa. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

4-2 :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Just when you thought it was safe to bring Willian on. It's never safe to bring Willian on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Struijk booked.

[Mac76]

Just when you thought it was safe to bring Willian on. It's never safe to bring Willian on.

well playing with ten men is never easy

[Letters]

Oh ffs.
Come on, you twats :doh:

[Mac76]

commentator: "Leeds found an injection of confidence from somewhere..."

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dallas avoids the Xhaka red.

[Marc Overmars]

jesus, our next eight fixtures... :faint:

No problem. We’ve turned the corner again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 4-2 Leeds, FT.

Party ended when Willian came on, obviously.

[Gooner23]

Arteta needs to stop with the Willian nonsense now

[Mac76]

Arsenal 4-2 Leeds, FT.

Party ended when Willian came on, obviously.

good stuff overall though - only two points behind spuds now :lol:
