subs: Flappy, Djourou, PingPongFrim, Benayoun, Ramsey, Ox cube, Chakma, Ultraman Ryo. The ol man will be banned from touch line, maybe he will dress up as Goonersaurus to fool EUFA. Theo will miss too, suspended. :coffee:

[Cripps_orig]

Forgot about Wenger being banned for this

In that case, im going for a 2-1 Arsenal win

LMAO...so true

[Niall_Quinn]

The terrible shite we are playing in the PL is all designed to lull the European teams into a false sense of security. We're sacrificing the league this year to win the CL. Unless we get unlucky against Barca I can't see how we won't win the whole thing.

I am not sure now, should I feel sorry for you or Wenger. NQ :rose:

[Daniele]

4-1 Dortmund. Lewandowski opens the account, second minute. Then around 30' Gervinho equalises thus scoring his first Arsenal gol. HT 1-1. SH: Goetze scores 51', the Lewandowski again 65' and Grosskreutz will wrap it up in the 78th minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Arsenal. :scarf:

[GP]

0-2

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho to rip them up.

And score a few goals.

Theo to continue his CL scoring run too.

1-3.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

You're not expecting another not overly surprising 8-2 then?

When they were warming up pre match and Arshavin challenged Mertesacker for a header was hilarious

[Kaiser]

Brilliant. Did Arshavin manage to get to shoulder height at least when jumping?

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant. Did Arshavin manage to get to shoulder height at least when jumping?

He won the ball...

No seriously, he got up to his shoulder IIRC

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey is likely to miss this

Confirmed hes out

Rosicky is also unlikely to play

So whats the likely team?

Sjehdfskjfhdskjfhny

Sagna Per Kos Gibbs

Arteta Song Frimpong

Walcott RVP Arshavin

[Dog Toffee]

Id play Gervinho. No need for two midfield destroyers.

[Darth Vela]

If Frimpong and Song have learnt how to play together that'd be a reasonable idea in what could be a tricky game but memories of that first half against Udinese makes me think we'd be better off bring Benayoun into the middle or going 4-4-2 whilst bring in Ju or maybe shunting Theo up front and playing Gervinho-Arsh on the wings with Arts-Song holding the middle.

[Marc Overmars]

Looking forward to seeing Dortmund play, heard a lot about their success last year.

Pretty good on FIFA as well tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Im just going by what i think Wenger will do.

That isnt the team i would play.

What i would do is

Sdsfjskdjfhsdkjfny

Sagna Per Miquel Santos

Arteta Song Gervinho

Arshavin

Theo RVP

Arsène Wenger and his squad arrived in Germany on Monday afternoon ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League Group F game against Borussia Dortmund.

Eighteen players have travelled to Dortmund including new signings Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Yossi Benayoun, Andre Santos and Ju Young Park.

Arsenal squad (in alphabetical order):
Andrey Arshavin
Mikel Arteta
Yossi Benayoun
Marouane Chamakh
Johan Djourou
Gervinho
Kieran Gibbs
Lukasz Fabianski
Emmanuel Frimpong
Laurent Koscielny
Per Mertesacker
Ju Young Park
Andre Santos
Bacary Sagna
Alex Song
Wojciech Szczesny
Robin van Persie
Theo Walcott


No Rosicky or Ramsey

Play Arshavin behind the front man.

[Master Splinter]

I thought Wenger would go for two defensive midfielders in the centre anyway, so it won't make too much difference.

It should give us more protection against a very good team and allow Arteta to be a bit more free in providing for the front three. Theo and Gervo should be perfect if we're playing more on the counter-attack.

We don't have many options off the bench though, with four CMs out.

it's good cause ramsey has been pants of lately

[milla]

No Rosicky or Ramsey

Play Arshavin behind the front man.

The best formation would be..

----------Scze3ney--------------

Bac-----Per Girrafe--Kos---Gibbs

-------Arteta----Song-----------

Walnut------Fatty---Giantforehead

------------RVP10---------------

Although, Wenger would likely start with PingPong or lesbo jew instead of fatty. :coffee:

[Kaiser]

Yossi could play in behind RVP if Arteta and Song hold. Might work.

[milla]

Yossi could play in behind RVP if Arteta and Song hold. Might work.

I dont know man, Benayoun is poor man Hleb.. not convincing at all. Best if he stays on the bench, stick to his tax papers. :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

Benyanoon was one of Liverpool's best players before he moved to Chelsea.

Remember, he only played 8 games for Chelsea because of his injury.

I'm not saying he's an amazing signing, but completely writing off a proven PL player is a bit stupid.

He's much more productive than Hleb ever was.

[selassie]

Yossi could play in behind RVP if Arteta and Song hold. Might work.

Yep, my only concern with that is having Yossi & Arteta in midfield might make us a little bit too "tackle shy". Saying that, I'm not overly keen on seeing Frimpong & Song together, they are both way too sloppy off & on the ball.

I have a feeling, Wenger will go for the Frimpong, Song & Arteta.

I agree, he was decent pre-Chelsea, if he can recapture that form then he'll probably be a regular starter for us. I quite like him as a player.

Not this time dortmund ain't that good thank feck otherwise we been beatern and beatern well lol

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League match at Borussia Dortmund after injuring his ankle in training.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger revealed the 20-year-old Wales international limped out of training on Monday ahead of the team's flight to Germany.

It deprives Arsenal of another first-choice midfielder, with Jack Wilshere also sidelined with an ankle problem.

Ramsey was out for nine months after breaking his leg in February 2010.

He suffered fractures to the tibia and fibula of his right leg following a tackle by Stoke's Ryan Shawcross during a Premier League game at the Britannia Stadium.

However, having spent loan spells with Nottingham Forest and former club Cardiff City, he declared himself fully fit and hopeful of a positive season.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP FContinue reading the main story Arsenal
Borussia Dortmund
Marseille
Olympiakos
Ramsey has started all six of Arsenal's matches so far this season, including their first Premier League victory of the campaign, Saturday's 1-0 win over Swansea at Emirates Stadium.

New midfield recruits Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun made their Gunners debuts at the weekend and both are included in the 18-man squad for Tuesday's match.

Alex Song and Emmanuel Frimpong provide alternative options in central midfield for Wenger.

The Gunners boss is hoping his team can build on their 1-0 win over Swansea in the Premier League on Saturday, but is expecting a tough test against the Bundesliga champions.

"I have a lot of respect for the team," said Wenger of Dortmund. "They play very fast, very offence very similar to Arsenal.

Raphael HonigsteinContinue reading the main story
Dortmund can approach the group stage without too much pressure to succeed

Read Raphael's column
"It will be a good match. We will play offensively, they will play offensively so it will be a very attractive match.

"Dortmund have very good technical qualities, they are well organised. Although they have not started the season well, they will be confident for the match and they will give everything in the first 20 minutes.

"For us, it is important to get consistency because that is the first sign of quality for a team. Therefore, it is just adding results to results and that is what we are striving for."

Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp does not believe Wenger's touchline man is an advantage for his team, who are returning to the Champions League for the first time since March 2003.

"I am not sure whether it will be important that he is on the touchline," said Klopp.

"It would be better if maybe Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott or Gervinho wouldn't be on the pitch and play."

FFS

Forgot about that

[GunnerFan4Life]

Theo's in the squad....and i remember him being booked and apparently suspended by itv. Surely Wenger and the team haven't forgotten :unsure: or maybe the commentators were wrong which almost seems likely.

[Cripps_orig]

He was booked in both legs v Udinese

But ive just read that 2 bookings wont carry over to the group stages.

A red would have

[Joker]

I don't think we should start with Frimpong tbh. We need to keep possession tonight, especially as it's an away game and we're playing a side who're very strong offensively. Frimpong's passing at the moment is not up to standard, and if we give the ball away frequently then expect Dortmund to spring us on the counter attack at will. Given the lack of options in midfield we don't have many choices, but I'd start with Benayoun as part of a midfield 3 with Arteta and Song.

[Marc Overmars]

We'll draw and draw well.

[Flavs]

got a good feeling about tonight i think we will get a 0-0 or maybe sneak a one goal win

[Xhaka Can’t]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scudhfuhfey, Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Sagna, Song, Benayoun, Arteta, Walcott, RVP, Gervinho.

[Master Splinter]

Very offensive team.

Risky.

[Master Splinter]

Chamakh, Ju, Arshavin, Frimpong, Djourou, Santos and Fabianski on the bench.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very offensive team.

Risky.

Only way to deal with Mario tbf. :unsure:

[Master Splinter]

Sven Bender starts for Dortmund.

Bender :haha:.

[Dog Toffee]

Interesting Benny is starting, always liked him at Pool, could be a great loanee.

Very offensive team true, but Frimpong is just a young Song who cant tackle or pass so not much to choose from really.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!

Very offensive team true, but Frimpong is just a young Song who cant tackle or pass so not much to choose from really.

A what? If he can't tackle or pass he wouldn't be anywhere near the first team, can't agree with you there.

I've always liked Benayoun, he should give us a little bit of extra guile in the final third so if that provides for the pace of Gervinho and Walcott it could go very well.

[Cripps_orig]

If we can win posession and keep the ball then we should win

Bit of a shocker to start Yossi. Rice should sub him in the first minute

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

need RVP to be in top form for a win. cant afford to mess up in the final third like we have this season.

ill take a draw though.

[milla]

The athmosphere is great!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League music.

:bow:

[Maestro]

Thought I would boost the numbers on here. Come on you Gooners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite an attacking line up, as mentioned although a little bit surprised Arshavin has been benched after putting in an effort against Swansea. He's probably tired then :-)

Dortmund ain't mugs and our form away in the CL lately has been patchy at best, so here's hoping for a win ...any kind of win damn it!

Milla thanks for the links.

Watching this on the red button so i can see all the other goals in the other matches

He has trouble walking with the weight of all the money in his pocket

Gervinho misses a sitter

Dortmund on the attack and shhot over

If we can win posession and keep the ball then we should win yeah, also if we can score more goals than them, we should win this !!!

[The Dismantler]

PHW on crutches?

time for him to retire!!

[Cripps_orig]

yeah, also if we can score more goals than them, we should win this !!!

No shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho should've carried his run on. Stopped twice!

[Cripps_orig]

Why did Gervinho stop running?

Shocker of a start for him

[V-Pig]

Gibbs :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss.

:haha:

[Syn]

Why did Gervinho stop running?

Shocker of a start for him

Nah, he's been very sharp. As have the team in fairness. Much quicker tempo to the game than we're used to seeing these days. Hope it continues.

edit: Ok, defensive line is as non-existent as ever.

Arsenal corner

[Cripps_orig]

Punched cleared and Dortmund counter and a few seconds later, shoot over.

I remember when we could do that

Benny could give Arshavin a lesson about tracking back.

Thank fuck you dont visit GW more often. We need less cry babies like you on here. We see enough of that from the team we support.. it'd be better if we had some men who can take jokes rather than run to mommy everytime a bad word is said.

Good to be winning. The world class striker up front makes the difference.

Bad start. We were pressured and our passing was awful.

As the game went we were passing abit better. Benny has looked pretty decent tbh and Arteta has held the ball well when needed.

Dortmund are making chances and we have to defend well, and NOT put pressure on the defence by giving the ball away. If we win today then it'll be another not so great 'arsenal' performance but a win in a gritty way.

[The Dismantler]

oi goons whats with the bickering on here?

[Maestro]

FakeYank, who you warring with?

[Master Splinter]

Quite frankly, some of you are an embarrassment tonight.

Just tonight?

[Cripps_orig]

undeserved? that bad, eh?

First half hour or so, Dortmund should have scored 17 at least.

Sagna, Poor finishing and most importantly Mertesacker kept them at bay.

All us in the last 15 mins

[GP]

Also, Sven Bender :haha:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

anyone got a decent link with english commentary? no sopcast im on a mac. got some stupid russian link its crap

[Marc Overmars]

Average going forward and I don't think it's any surprise our chances have sprung from sloppy play by Dortmund. I don't envisage creating many chances so it's fantastic that we have taken 1.

RVP. :bow:

Stay strong boys.

Come on Arsenal!!

[Niall_Quinn]

I've removed half a dozen racist posts.

If people continue to do it, I will ban then from this thread.

You're demeaning yourself in an effort to appease a bunch of PC cunts. I don't know about the stuff that's been removed but if it is now an offence to type the word jew we might as well shut up shop and demand the Internet be run by Islington Borough Council or other such associated namby pamby cunts. I believe the poster was calling Benayoun a jew, is that correct or have I got it wrong? Benayoun is a jew isn't he? So could somebody explain the issue or are we going to allow by default the holier-than-though shit stains to control this place? Also, I don't know if the poster in question is really in teh States, but maybe over there it's not illegal to type jew on a computer? So let's allow for the fact some non-British might not be as PC whipped as we are over here. The Muslim jokes are ten-a-penny here, aren't they? All taken in a good spirit because no offence is intended and everyone is grown up enough to know it. So why the special protection for the word jew? Can anyone explain it without calling the jewish league for a memo?

I'm using the 1st link at the top. It's german commentary. all the uk links have been shut down. I've been trying them all ut the sopcast one has stalled once.

[Niall_Quinn]

It will be good riddance to you tonight if you don't cut it out.

Why don't you chuck out the guy who's popped in here now the blue moon has risen and moaned his pansy arse off and caused a bunch of trouble? Why kick out the guy who has a track record of causing no trouble?

To repeat my post earlier..

It is contextual. Why bother to mention it unless there is a point to it? Clearly intended as a slur and that is simply racist

I actually think its down to laziness tbh

Jew is shorter to type than Benayoun.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dortmund seem to be a very good side with some brilliant, technically-gifted players attacking.

Good to be winning. The world class striker up front makes the difference.

That's exactly it. Quality tells but going cheap doesn't give any rewards in the long run. Imagine Nick up there? Or Cham?

Get a grip will you?

[WengerISaLizard]

hope we get a better 2nd half, that first was awful

come on arsenal

[Boss]

Good performances by Chesney, Sagna, Mertesacker, Van Persie. Rest have been abysmal (although tbf Koscielny has improved since his shocking start). Not sure what's happened to Song in the last few months.

Good to see us leading when we aren't the better side in a game and hope we keep up the relatively solid defense we had towards the end of the first half.

Gotze is amazing, would have loved to see him play for us.

[Cripps_orig]

gstacey123 on Twitter: "Yes RVP. And who says Walcott can only run?"

are you dimwits really moaning that you cant make ignorant comments abouts jews and money? come on you twats, focus on the game :good:

[Cripps_orig]

Also Pat Rice for manager?

link here with english commentary. pretty stop start though

[AKBapologist]

Need to take benayoun out, get frimpong in to sit really deep and move arteta further way.

[Cripps_orig]

This.

Im staying out of it.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Why is this thread so aggressive :unsure: am i the only one watching the match?

[GP]

Gotze is amazing

He's really stretching us at the back.

[Marc Overmars]

Gotze looks good. Must get tbh.

Germany have a quality group of players at the moment.

Song should GHEL him.

[Joker]

Really lucky to be leading tbh. The defence has been shocking, with no coordination whatsoever and the midfield is next to non-existent. If we don't improve they will equalise for sure.

And we should stop calling Benayoun "the Jew" tbh. People are being disingenuous by claiming it's only a descriptive term. Why not call Song "the African" then? It's as if his ethnicity/religion has some significance which it doesn't.

[GP]

FUCK YOU!

[Coney]

Get a grip will you?

I have a grip. I'm OK with jokes and I like banter. Simple racism, however, I do not like. Not to say that jokes can't be made about different peoples etc - I make them myself sometimtes - but they need to be more than simple crude abuse.

[WengerISaLizard]

it hasn't taken wenger long to figure out he can play benayoun out of position, but im not complaining so far, without his tracking back, we would be in the shit

[milla]

Song is having a stinker, must focus on winning the ball not giving it away. Pants model and lesbo jew need to sort them self out and take responsibility to pick up passes from CBs, they were isolated in our own fekin half!!. :coffee:

[Cripps_orig]

Why is this thread so aggressive :unsure: am i the only one watching the match?

Only one poster was tbh and hes gone

As for the match, its been a bit shit bar the last 15 mins

[Joker]

Some of the comments about Benayoun do have more than a touch of anti-semitism about them tbh. They're uncalled for.

African is longer to type than Song

You've had your say.

Thank-you for that, now get back on topic. This is a match thread.

[Joker]

African is longer to type than Song

You could call him Ben if you like.

[Marc Overmars]

Stop moaning you cunts and talk about this beast of a match for us, which we're currently leading.

[Cripps_orig]

You could call him Ben if you like.

Why would i call Song Ben?

come on you gunners!

come on you gunners!

Come on you red men!

2nd half on

Thank you GW for keeping me busy with the HT entertainment

[WengerISaLizard]

dortmund pressing is leagues above ours, no wonder they are champions

[Niall_Quinn]

You could call him Ben if you like.

His name is Yossi Fucking Benayoun, end of. Why he's playing for us, who knows? But he is so hopefully he'll score.

Actually, if he does score, he'll need to be given his own song - that would be a great opening line...

As usual.

Walnut with a conversion...2 points!

[Syn]

I'm beginning to lose faith in Walcott. Yes his pace is useful but he does fuck up a ridiculous number of good opportunities.

[WengerISaLizard]

walcott trying the spectacular and as usual it doesnt work, keep it simple son
