Man Utd vs Arsenal Sunday 28th Aug 4pm (Sky Sports 1)

[Niall_Quinn]

Howard Webb to ref this one.

[Ralpheroo72]

Cant see anything other than a 3-0 home win, and that's being optomistic.

[fakeyank]

3-1 to Utd. If we win this, it'll be as big as Bangladesh beating Brazil in football world cup

[milla]

3-1 to Utd. If we win this, it'll be as big as Bangladesh beating Brazil in football world cup

I have a dream, Bangla 2 - Man U 1 :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

Howard Webb 2 + Manchester United 2 =

Howard Webb United 4-0 Arsenal.

[Marc Overmars]

We'll win 0-1.

Quote this for the truth.

[Master Splinter]

We'll win 0-1.

Quote this for the wrong.

:gp:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

doing old trafford 2 seasons in a row.

cannot wait.

we'll get battered but fans will make up for it with our singing.

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll win 0-1.

Quote this for the truth.

This would be Arsenal all over, staggering around the league like a drunk and then suddenly sober for the Utd match. But Howard Webb and at Old Trafford, that's one hell of a challenge. I think we'll need two goals to beat them.

[Grebbo]

It is time to play Ryo and Oxo.

May as well.

[Letters]

We'll lose and lose well :cool:

[Joker]

We'll do well to keep it down to 3.

[Cripps_orig]

Need to keep it respectable but i can see another 6-1 here tbh

And we'll be lucky to get 1

[Grebbo]

I'd be happy if we can keep it to 2-0.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'll be happy if Frimpong charges Rooney in the first minute and gives him an almighty kick in the bollocks, grabs the ref, whips his red card out, shows it to himself and walks off to call Piers Morgan a cunt on Twitter. That'd be a good result.

[Injury Time]

Howard Webb to ref this one.
I was pessimistic with the best being a draw, but Webb ffs we'll be lucky to start the match with 11 let alone make it to half time :banghead:

[Coney]

I wouldn't be.

He'd be stupid not to do Evra while he's there.

Can a red card be shown to someone ineligible to play? Even if it isn't, I'm sure they'd dredge up some rule to extend his ban.

[Niall_Quinn]

Obviously he'd do Evra on the way off, DUH

[Darth Vela]

Ofc, glad to see the lad is learning.

[alexander]

I really believe we are going to be handed our ass on a plate. Its going to be messy.

Get away with a 3-0 defeat, no injuries and no players sent off, I would take that.




Or a cheeky win of course.

[Boss]

We'll lose this but doubt it will be the embarrassment everyone expects.

[Cripps_orig]

Scoreline wise prob not but it'll be like the Liverpool game. We'll be outplayed to such an extent that that in itself will be embarrassing

We weren't outplayed against Liverpool.

I don't think we'll get a hammering on Sunday but I can't see us doing better than a narrow defeat.

[Niall_Quinn]

We weren't outplayed against Liverpool.

Are you sure?

[Coney]

Are you sure?

I certainly am. While we did lose, it was not because they played us off the park - it was pretty even. Their first goal was a jammy accident - if we'd had half of that luck we'd have been a goal or two up before that. We weren't brilliant but neither were Liverpool.

Pretty much how I saw things too.

[selassie]

Any game against any of the Big 4 away is pretty much always a loss but this time round this game is effectively a write off IMHO. We absolutely don't stand a chance of getting anything out of this game IMHO.

This is the first time for ages when I've pretty much conceded we're going to lose there. Even in recent years when we've lost there I've thought beforehand we could give them a game and had a chance. It's sad really.
Still don't think we'll get a thumping though.

[Marc Overmars]

We're winning 0-1 guys FFS.

Outplayed us is not the same as playing us off the park. I think they outplayed us for stretches, particularly in the middle. But yes, neither side was that great. Not until afterwards when Jamie "CockGobbler" Redknapp declared Liverpool to have been magnificent.

Is he literally a cock gobbler?

[KESSLER]

If we win it will be like the 06/07 season when barndoor scored to get us our first 3 points of the season at OT

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We're winning 0-1 guys FFS.

Nah were winning 2-1

[Niall_Quinn]

Is he literally a cock gobbler?

I couldn't 100% see what was happening under the presenter's table but Jamie was down there for a long time and everyone else had happy smiles.

[Marc Overmars]

Who the hell is going to play in midfield for this btw? Ramsey is the only one available with any experience. Surely Oxo will have to play? And maybe Ryo as well? Could even be worth dropping Djourou in there.

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey - Lansbury - Marvin Martin

:good:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't we need to sign Martin before he's allowed to play? Could be a stumbling block. Us signing someone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We always sign players. Usually they're panicking around this time for their exam results though.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Who the hell is going to play in midfield for this btw? Ramsey is the only one available with any experience. Surely Oxo will have to play? And maybe Ryo as well? Could even be worth dropping Djourou in there.

Maybe we can loan Cesc back from Barca as thet are on strike, im sure he'd be all for helping his old club out for a couple of games lol.

Imagine if we really for him back on loan lol

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Eastmond gone too? What about Arshavin? It'll be Ramsey, Frimpong and Arshavin I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Frimpong is suspended. :lol:

Eastmond is, shockingly, injured.

[Niall_Quinn]

Frimpong is suspended. :lol:

Eastmond is, shockingly, injured.

Well if I forgot about Frimpong maybe the FA will too? I guess it will have to be one of the new kids starting for the first team against Man Utd at Old Trafford. Nobody can say we don't give youngsters a chance. Who's going to replace Arshavin after 60 mins? We've reached rock-bottom if we're expecting him to go the whole 90.

[Master Splinter]

Eastmond is, shockingly, injured.

More importantly, he's quite shit.

Arshavin should be put down, really. The guy seems more haunted than Wenger. He will be more dangerous than a proximity mine in Goldeneye if he plays.

[KESSLER]

Coquellin or whatever the fuck he's called is back, so he might play

[selassie]

This is the first time for ages when I've pretty much conceded we're going to lose there. Even in recent years when we've lost there I've thought beforehand we could give them a game and had a chance. It's sad really.
Still don't think we'll get a thumping though.

:(

Me too, even last season with the squad we had I was quietly confident we could maybe spring a surprise at Old Trafford, not this season though.

[Marc Overmars]

Fergie leaping to Wengers defence today in the papers.

[Boss]

That's when you know how bad it truly has gotten :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquellin or whatever the fuck he's called is back, so he might play

I hope so, I haven't seen him play since that good pre-season he had a couple of years ago!

[milla]

I hope so, I haven't seen him play since that good pre-season he had a couple of years ago!

If Yann M'Vila is good enough Coquelin should be good enough. Yann M'Vila is slightly more experienced of the two, but very similar in term of style. :coffee:

[KSE Comedy Club]

I dont why, but I keep having this niggling feeling that Campbell will get his work permit and be a surprise addition on the bench on sunday.

He'll come on with 20 mins to go and put 2 past De gay to win us the match.

:shrug:

[Ernesto]

How to win this one tactically? It's just so difficult. They look a little stretched in defence, let's be honest. However, our attacking options looked blunt in our last two EPL games. As a result, I can't see us scoring any goals up there and I can't see any realistic scenario in which we could win.

If they decide to play the aerial game against us (which, surprisingly, they haven't recently) then we don't stand a chance with our defence.

[Darth Vela]

:shrug:

I hope you're right, I really do.

I'm still dreading this, we'll have a patched-up defence, an unbalanced attack with no Gervinho and our only experienced player in midfield will be a guy who's played 20 games in 3 years. We might pull something spectacular off and get a draw but with the mancs in good form, Webb with the whistle and our team barely hanging together, I can't see it.

[Marc Overmars]

Anything from this game is a bonus, there are too many players missing. Hopefully with morale boosted we can spring a surprise but it's far from the end of the world if we lose.

Who? :unsure:

[Letters]

If we play like we did last night then there will be no complaints from me.
If we lose, we lose. They're one of the best teams around and losing away to them is no disgrace.
Long as we go down fighting I can live with that.

:scarf:

[Marc Overmars]

They have won 19 out of their last 20 home games. :unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

Make that 20 out of 21

Fletcher fit for this, ffs.

The garbage trio of Carrick-Fletcher-Park will be useless all season but put in world class performances in a 4-5-1 against us. <_<

For those, like myself who use streaming links online myp2p is offline. For the Pool game I managed to get a decent link via VIP sports. http://www.vipbox.tv/ I'll be digging around on Sunday before the match and I'll post any links I find in this thread.

Yeah, that's annoying that myp2p is down, last few games I've been loading up random streams in my sopcast drop-down history bar, worked so far though.

"The work he has done in the 15 years he has been at the club is the best in Arsenal's history," said Ferguson.

"Yes, he has not won a trophy for six years but what does that mean? The quality of his side has not been reduced. He still has great quality in his teams.

"The competition is far greater now. When Arsenal and ourselves were going head-to-head, that went on for about eight years.

"It (the criticism) is a bit unfair of course. But who understands fairness and unfairness today. It is quite a cynical world. Supporters are far less easy to please than they were 20 years ago. It is disappointing.

"I would like to know who is going to replace him."

true dat

[Niall_Quinn]

It (the criticism) is a bit unfair of course. But who understands fairness and unfairness today. It is quite a cynical world. Supporters are far less easy to please than they were 20 years ago. It is disappointing.

Tickets were £3 20 years ago and quite a few of the players drank in your local (especially before kick off). Plus the quality absolutely has been reduced, I'm not sure which team Ferguson is comparing but I know which team he'd rather be facing.

[Marc Overmars]

I have tried to dislike Fergie over the years but I can't.

There, I said it.

Sagna was apparently taken ill this morning.

We are beyond cursed.

Probably Vermaelen at left-back then, with Djourou and Koscielny in the centre.

TV is only 50/50 to make it, last I heard.

Howard Webb AND Squillaci. All that remains is to literally tilt the playing field towards our goal.

Squillaci is 'injured' too :good:.

From YOungguns blog.

http://younggunsblog.co.uk/2011/08/wenger-takes-reserves-to-old-trafford/


Arsène Wenger has put a selection of fringe youngsters on stand by ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United, as the Frenchman’s selection headache continues, Young Guns understands.

The Gunners will give fitness tests to Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou and Bacary Sagna this morning, with the latter complaining of illness on Saturday. Ignasi Miquel and the fit again Armand Traoré are both ready to step in if they all fail.

Elsewhere, the suspensions to Alexandre Song and Emmanuel Frimpong mean Francis Coquelin is in line to start at Old Trafford. He only returned from international duty with France Under-20′s on Thursday, but trained with the first-team on Friday, and is thought to be preferred to Henri Lansbury.

Like Coquelin, fellow countryman Gilles Sunu also returned on Thursday, and should be named on the bench, due to injuries to Ryo Miyaichi and Benik Afobe. Both of whom have been ruled out for around 10 days.

Joining Lansbury, Miquel, Traoré, Coquelin and Sunu in travelling to Manchester, is Dutchman Oğuzhan Özyakup, who has been promised further first-team involvement after signing a new contract this summer.

It seems Miyaichi and and Afobe are doing their best to copy their senior teammates :doh:

Francis Coquelin will start instead of Lansbury, hardly surprising at all. :coffee:

[milla]

Pikachu is Japanese.

All the same man, part of People's Rep of China. :good:

[Sirjackofwilshere]

Anyone going to the match ? Feckin' crowded here on the train from london -


Leaving on the 11:20 one. Can't wait.
*

Already on the London United supporters coach. Should be a quick trip up, not looking forward to the trip


Cockney mancs :facepalm:

[Darth Vela]

And Sagna- our best defender is not playing.. why? What about our bench?

Reports just say 'illness' so maybe he's got a touch of 'flu or something.

Also, our bench is full of bullshit so best not to contemplate it.

[Master Splinter]

Ryo already injured :doh:.

Pat Rice will probably arrive on a stretcher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd with the same team as against Spuds I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin starts for us.

No Vermaelen. No Sagna.

Oh dear.

[Master Splinter]

Szczesny; Jenkinson Djourou Koscielny Traore; Coquelin Ramsey Rosicky; Walcott RVP Arshavin

Fuck.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

1510: BREAKING TEAM NEWS
Manchester United are unchanged against Arsenal, meaning Rio Ferdinand starts on the bench. The Gunners, without Thomas Vermaelen or Bacary Sagna, start with young midfielder Francis Coquelin.

[fakeyank]

Wenger has fucked us in the ass. Does he not see the difference in that line up to the one he had in 04/05? Does he not see the fuckin need for experience in there?! God damn, that team looks shit!

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf?

Whats wrong with Vermaelen and Sagna?

Oh just fuck off.

If we concede less than 6, il be delighted

[Darth Vela]

Wenger has fucked us in the ass. Does he not see the difference in that line up to the one he had in 04/05? Does he not see the fuckin need for experience in there?! God damn, that team looks shit!

I'm pretty sure Wenger knows that Song and Sagna have played more games than Jenkinson and Coquelin, it's not exactly rocket science, is it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger has fucked us in the ass. Does he not see the difference in that line up to the one he had in 04/05? Does he not see the fuckin need for experience in there?! God damn, that team looks shit!

We usually lose at Old Trafford anyway so this one match shouldn't make much difference. It'll still be painful though, granted.

[Niall_Quinn]

Szczesny; Jenkinson Djourou Koscielny Traore; Coquelin Ramsey Rosicky; Walcott RVP Arshavin

Fuck.

Wind up or for real?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme starts now.

[Marc Overmars]

What a shite team.

I'd love it if we got a result though, love it.

[Darth Vela]

Lot of goals in that team if Man U want to take the game to us, which given our patchwork defence is more than likely.

I don't know why but after bricking it about the game for a week I'm kinda optimistic, we don't know how these two teams are going to mix so if Coquelin is any good and Djourou remembers how to defend, we could get something.

[Dog Toffee]

Id LOVE IT if we beat them.

edit:

Wenger put out the best team he could. Were just fucked for injuries and suspensions.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's a scandalous, scandalous, fucking scandalous team. We're going to get relegated this year if injuries are any worse than normal, which they are shaping up to be. Song should be fined for being a stupid cunt - for starters. Gervinho - twat. Our coaches, fitness trainers, medical staff - sack the cunts. The board? Lock the boardroom doors and burn them. Wenger, if he doesn't get it by now then he never wanted to get it in the first place.

Can see us getting a result here. Maybe 2-1 to us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Were just fucked for injuries and suspensions.

As usual. Which is why we needed to sign some players.

[Marc Overmars]

Remember guys, we're winning 0-1. :good:

[fakeyank]

I'm pretty sure Wenger knows that Song and Sagna have played more games than Jenkinson and Coquelin, it's not exactly rocket science, is it?

Even if we had both of them, that team is absolutely shit and I dont even know what the bench is like BUT I am sure its probably the worst you will ever see.

[Cripps_orig]

Predicted 3-1 Man Utd.

I was too optimistic

[Niall_Quinn]

Even if we had both of them, that team is absolutely shit and I dont even know what the bench is like BUT I am sure its probably the worst you will ever see.

I'm on the bench, I'll wave to you!

[Edinburgh Gooner]

We have fuck all to lose. Hopefully we'll give a bit of a game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin. :bow:

Three years since I last saw him play.

[Cripps_orig]

Man Utd need to win by 6 goals to go top ahead of City.

Can see it happening.

Fucking gutted i dont have any Manc Players in my FFL team

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger says he didn't expect to have so many players out. :lol: He must have been asleep for the last 5 years. He's making excuses before the kick-off, should have kept his powder dry and saved them for after the match.

[Darth Vela]

Even if we had both of them, that team is absolutely shit and I dont even know what the bench is like BUT I am sure its probably the worst you will ever see.

I was just pointing out that Wenger is almost certainly aware of what you seemed to think he wasn't, an attempt at discussion rather than ranting, my bad.

[Niall_Quinn]

Coquelin. :bow:

Three years since I last saw him play.

He's super quality but has been in the waiting period.

[Dog Toffee]

As usual. Which is why we needed to sign some players.

True. Wenger maybe doesn't seem to understand the transfer widow shuts quite a way into the season and if we lose today we'd be, what, 8 points behind united already.

The team today is way too lightweight and there's no cover for the defense.

[Cripps_orig]

Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Welbeck. Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Fabio Da Silva.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Djourou, Koscielny, Traore, Ramsey, Coquelin, Rosicky, Walcott, van Persie, Arshavin. Subs: Fabianski, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Lansbury, Miquel, Ozyakup, Sunu.
Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)

The bench :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Vinger certainly needs to sign at least 3 players this week. Even during our worst injury and suspension periods, the squad has never looked as thread bare as this.

[Fats]

Utd 7-0 no players

[Cripps_orig]

Utd 7-0 no players

Disgraceful optimism tbh. We'll be fortunate to concede only 7

[Niall_Quinn]

Howard Webb reffing this one...

[Cripps_orig]

Howard Webb reffing this one...

Hopefully we bought him this morning and he can star for us today

[Niall_Quinn]

Hopefully we bought him this morning and he can star for us today

Nope, Webb was on Twitter saying we were a million miles away from his price.

[Cripps_orig]

You can tell what Fergie thinks of us these days as he hasnt packed the midfield and has gone 2 up front.

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna on Twitter: "I'm not playing because of a virus.feel sick since Thursday... I had high temperature until now... woke up to watch and support my team."

Pussy.

We have fuck all to lose.

Except our pride, dignity and faith.

Funny if that backfires. Don't try and fix what isn't broken and all that.

:lol:

Like we have any of those.

[Master Splinter]

You can tell what Fergie thinks of us these days as he hasnt packed the midfield and has gone 2 up front.

At least Spuds lost today

I'm sure Wenger could go all out if United had seven first team players dead/suspended and most of their subs dead too.

[Cripps_orig]

Funny if that backfires.

True

It wont :(

[gunnerrrrr]

Very impressed with man city and spurs. One in a positve way and the other very negative. Cant really say im sad about it thought - cesc twitter lol

The bench :lol:

:haha:


:faint:

[Cripps_orig]

I'm sure Wenger could go all out if United had seven first team players dead/suspended and most of their subs dead too.

Like the FA Cup game last season when Mancs had 8 defenders playing cos of injury problems? We really kicked their ass that day...

[gunnerrrrr]

:lol:

Like we have any of those.
They battered us 6-1 once so calm down people and support the team

[Gubby Allen]

Is it still 0-0?

[Dog Toffee]

link please.

[Niall_Quinn]

Except our pride, dignity and faith.

All that stuff went last season to be fair. I looked everywhere, did a top to bottom search and I can confirm, we have nothing to lose. If we can stop Utd gangbanging us in the centre circle and tattooing Bitch on our arses we'll have done well enough.

[WengerISaLizard]

Paddy Power are so confident that Arsenal will lose that they will refund all losing bets if Arsenal win today.

lmfao, i fancy that

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!!

[The Realist]

Even paddy power are in this 'If arsenal win, we will refund losing bets' haha

[milla]

Vineger must have mistaken PL fixtures with Carling Cup game, RVP must be really pissed. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

They battered us 6-1 once so calm down people and support the team

Twice if you include today

[Darth Vela]

They battered us 6-1 once so calm down people and support the team

Well, it certainly seems like most people round here have conceded dignity and faith, I'm gonna be supporting though.

[Gubby Allen]

Two of our subs, could walk into my house now and have a shit in the airing cuboard and I woudn't recognise them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Try putting a light in your airing cupboard.

[Gubby Allen]

Still haven't conceded, just another 105 minutes to hold out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You should recognise someone taking a shit in your airing cupboard though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Merse gives us no chance today. LOL. Gary Neville having to talk us up. ROFL.

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal fans who went :pal:

[Cripps_orig]

Alan Smith and Merson are both at OT today.

Get them on FFS or on the bench at least

[Joker]

5-0 to United.

[milla]

Arsenal fans who went :pal:

That would be SJoW. :coffee:

[hobson's choice]

Lets say a prayer for Jenkinson and Traore brehs, you know United were watching that City game, and they are gonna go in, the first 20 minutes is gonna be a replay of that CL Semis of a couple years back.

Poor Schenesy(however the fukk his name is spell)

[Cripps_orig]

Martin Tyler just named a GW Poster

Hobsons Choice :bow:

[Sirjackofwilshere]

Ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

That would be SJoW. :coffee:

He was scared before he left, he'll have shit a brick by now I suppose.

[Cripps_orig]

To make it interesting, we should be given half a goal for every time we touch the ball in their area

[Niall_Quinn]

Here we go then. 2-1 win for us - coming up.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Id LOVE IT if we beat them.

edit:

Wenger put out the best team he could. Were just fucked for injuries and suspensions.

just seen the team in the tunnel. . . .gulp

[McNamara That Ghost...]

To make it interesting, we should be given half a goal for every time we touch the ball in their area

That's how we play anyway isn't it? :unsure:

Anyway, come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

1558: And a quick update on the Women's Super League before kick-off... Arsenal fans, you can relax, you have already won some silverware this season. Arsenal Ladies have just sealed the inaugural trophy after beating Liverpool 3-1. The Gunners pip Birmingham to the title by three points as the Blues drew 2-2 with Doncaster Rovers Belles."

Best it'll get for us today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleverley shot, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney shot straight at Skdfjdmguuy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor shot from Welbeck.

[Young Guns 11]

Rooneys hair :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Kozza :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Shoot ffs

[The Realist]

we need to test De Gea at least so shooting out side the box is probably the best way forward...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey and Theo.

:yikes:

[Fats]

Worse than I thought

[Cripps_orig]

De Geas distributions is pretty awesome

[fakeyank]

Why we playing such a high fuckin defensive line? Wellbeck n Rooney are both quick.. we will get creamed!

[Fats]

Men against divs

[Master Splinter]

Rosicky :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin booked. Nice GHEL tackle.

[Master Splinter]

Arshavin GHELs Jones :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Arshavin booked

Decentish start so far but we'll crumble when they score the first

[awol returns]

This might end up being a cricket score against us. The way this is going

[Cripps_orig]

No one coming in at the back post ffs

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleverley has been bloodied.

[fakeyank]

I can see Arshavin getting a red in this game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky's razorblade elbows.

:bow:

[awol returns]

Only consolation will be to see the desolation AW's face if we get hammered. Should be priceless

[Jens' Face]

So what's the deal with Hernandez and Welbeck? Is there a specific reason Welbeck is starting ahead of Hernandez after last season?

[Master Splinter]

So what's the deal with Hernandez and Welbeck? Is there a specific reason Welbeck is starting ahead of Hernandez after last season?

Hernandez has been injured.

[Fats]

Why dont we ever fucking attack the 6 yard box ffs

It's like we are scared to fucking score

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenkinson telling Theo to fuck off.

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Where the fuck was Jenkinson?

Go back to non league football

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Welbeck.

:doh:

[Master Splinter]

:doh:

[awol returns]

Wellbeck scores. Cricket score well on.

[Niall_Quinn]

That fucking useless pair at the back again. Kos - shit. JD - shit. True.

[cricketsi]

Gave up on idea of trying to find a pub in Moscow showing this game, so will have to seek out a stream. Do we have a separate thread for this now - normally there'd be links littered here?

[Boss]

Fucking shocking defending :doh:

3v1 and we let him have a free header 4 yards out.

[Cripps_orig]

Awful defending

1-0

We truly are relegation favourites

[Fats]

Kids of 12 know never to let the ball bounce there ffs un fucking believable

[fakeyank]

GTFO Arsene.. 1 point in 3 games!

[AKBapologist]

Djourou shocking :doh:

Been pretty bad throughout the pitch today.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo rightly giving Jenkinson a bollocking.

Awful player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smalling scuffs it across goal.

[Master Splinter]

Djourou :doh:.

Self-destruction as usual.

[fakeyank]

Awful defending

1-0

We truly are relegation favourites

I do think we will be fighting relegation with this squad. Arsene really has fucked us bad

[Niall_Quinn]

Djourou shocking :doh:

Been pretty bad throughout the pitch today.

He had 10 decent games last year and then became the new Squillaci. Kos is only slightly better. We've known we've needed CBs and here we are again.

[AKBapologist]

Djourou :doh:.

Self-destruction as usual.
Bah, we haven't had a clean shot on goal yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty!

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal penalty

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo dives and gets a pen. It's on!

RVP you idiot :doh:.

Shit pel.

[fakeyank]

:doh:

[AKBapologist]

Ffs...

[KESSLER]

Typical

[awol returns]

RVP misses a pen. This is an extremely SICK Arsenal side. Never realised just how SICK. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Young Guns 11]

:lol:

We just can't do anything right at the moment

[Boss]

We just have to be the team that gives that clown they have in goal some confidence :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Ashley Young.

[Young Guns 11]

2-0 :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Young 2-0

Traore was it, that set it up for him. Our defence is so shit it's literally unbelievable.

[Boss]

The clowns on here that said Young was overpriced :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

2-0

Young

:lol:

We're going down

[awol returns]

2nil. I am ready to literally slaughter AW for this humiliation

[KESSLER]

:ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

"who are you", sings the crowd. Is that the Utd lot or our lot singing though?

[Niall_Quinn]

Almunia saves them again.

[Cripps_orig]

De Gea with a brilliant double save

Fucking quality keeper

GW with another shocker :haha:

[Arsenal Fan]

Quite enjoying this ...
Arsenal - done fuck all over the summer except sell £50mill of talent..
Manutd - bought wellbeck and young

Hopefully wenger can see this difference, somehow I doubt it.

[KSE Comedy Club]

RVP with the shittest pel Ive ever seen him take.

Then Young is given an open area to take a stunning shot.

Arsenal :rose:
