Blackburn Rovers v Arsenal Saturday 17th September 2011 12.45pm SS2

[Cripps_orig]

Our next league game and another vital relegation 6 pointer.

Having just won one, this will be another tough one

[Joker]

Blackburn are so crap these days that we might just win this one.

[Niall_Quinn]

Must care.

[Cripps_orig]

Blackburn are so crap these days that we might just win this one.

Just went on the Blackburn forum called Blackeyeweb and saw their match thread and a poster called Batman on there said

"Arsenal are so crap these days that we might just win this one."

[GP]

Blackburn are getting a right cluttering.

[Xhaka Can’t]

[milla]

As I said previously, Blackeye will be licking their lips at the prospect of molesting our lot. :coffee:

[Daniele]

1-0 Blackburn, a resurgent Yakubu to score in the 80th minute.

[milla]

1-0 Blackburn, a resurgent Yakubu to score in the 80th minute.

No shite, Yak always score against us. how old is this mutherfoker? 54? He has been here quiet a while. :coffee:

[Marc Overmars]

We'll win this 0-2.

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll win this 0-2.

The thought of us getting 2 goals against a well organised team is a little far fetched. So I suppose let's hope they aren't well organised.

[Maestro]

I hope so MO

[Daniele]

The thought of us getting 2 goals against a well organised team is a little far fetched. So I suppose let's hope they aren't well organised.
I'd be content with a goalless draw

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The thought of us getting 2 goals against a well organised team is a little far fetched. So I suppose let's hope they aren't well organised.

We scored two against Man Utd tbf. Paul Robinson usually helps us out anyway.

[Master Splinter]

0-5.

[GP]

0-5.

:gp:

At least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 Arsenal. :scarf:

[Master Splinter]

1-3 Arsenal.

Sick fuck.

Time for you to resign from the MOC tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sick fuck.

Time for you to resign from the MOC tbh.

Really?

[Master Splinter]

Really?

Conceding a goal and only scoring three?

Far too mindful.

Mindless is what is required.

[Syn]

1-2 again this year.

VP and Gerv.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Conceding a goal and only scoring three?

Far too mindful.

Mindless is what is required.

Nah I don't make mindless predictions, I can't being mindless when whatever I say here will go on to my IKTS prediction. I'll just mindlessly support the team. :good:

[Xhaka Can’t]

0-0

[Niall_Quinn]

A mercilessly boring 1-0 for us, maybe a penalty for RvP.

[Master Splinter]

A mercilessly boring 1-0 for us, maybe a penalty for RvP.

I hope Arteta takes it tbf.

Or Santos.

[Niall_Quinn]

I hope Arteta takes it tbf.

Or Santos.

Santos probably won't start because it will seriously injure or even kill Gibbs. Arteta gets injured in the 72nd minute, remember? Just after we use our last sub to replace Chesney with Chamakh, for no sane reason. It'll have to be RvP but it's okay, he'll score it bottom right with power.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I hope Arteta takes it tbf.

Or Santos.

Would be funny if Arteta scores another pen against them after two weeks ago lol

[Japan Shaking All Over]

two up front . . .:pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Wenger wants to stop Gibbs being injured, it's in his interest not to pick him.

[Master Splinter]

I hope Second Half Song plays and not First Half Drunk Song.

Szczesny

Sagna
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Gibbs

Song
Arteta
Rosicky/Ramsey/Frimpong?

Walcott
RVP
Gervinho

[Marc Overmars]

Rosicky/Ramsey/Frimpong?



Yossi again IMO.

Rozza please. PingPong as Walnut's 2nd half sub. :coffee:

[GP]

0-11

[milla]

0-11

We need 1 player on goal stupid. :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

0-11

:gp:

Anything less and Wenger out tbh.

[fakeyank]

Please lets revert to 4-4-2 :pray:

[Syn]

Benayoun is a must start(tm). Walcott needs to sort his life out tbh...scored a cracking goal in the same fixture last year but I'd be tempted to start arshavin because I think he'd get a lot out of benayoun. We have been missing that 'link' player for ages since Hleb left. Rosicky never got there in the end. Benayoun's pass to play van persie in on goal (and the one directly before that) is the type of thing we need right now.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Hope to fuck Santos starts and Park finally gets to play for us in the second half.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

0-1

arshavin

[Cripps_orig]

Ssdkjfhsdfjksdhny

Sagna Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs

Arteta Song Ramsey

Walcott RVP Arshavin

Dont know if Ramsey is back for this, if not then stick with Benayoun.

Gervinho is a bit shit so Arshavin coming back in is a no brainer. Hope Theo and RVP can continue their form

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Gervinho for me.......guy must be gutted about his PL career so far......point to prove

[Ollie the Optimist]

really couldnt give a shit how many goals we score, how we play, how many the opposistion should score, all i care about is that we come back to london with three points

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yep those places you win ugly if you need to grab the points.

[Joker]

Fair enough but we need to start performing soon tbh. We can't expect to keep picking up points despite playing badly, and our luck is going to run out soon.

[fakeyank]

We are still in bad luck phase.. fortunes will change when AW leaves the club and takes the old ageing board with him! Inshahallah very soon! :pray:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Allah doesn't exist.Dumbass.

You say that, but Patti LaBelle was born in Philadelphia.

Just sayin.

[GunnerFan4Life]

It'll be the same team. If not then either Ramsey, Arshy or Frimpong will start.

[fakeyank]

It'll be the same team. If not then either Ramsey, Arshy or Frimpong will start.

Please no Ramsey! Brilliant player but is absolutely useless in our system.

[Syn]

As someone else on here mentioned, I can't say I'm a fan of this cesc impersonation thing that he's doing. Just get the ball and drive forward - you'll get kicked and tripped up...but you deal with it. Still, I guess we should give him time.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Fair enough but we need to start performing soon tbh. We can't expect to keep picking up points despite playing badly, and our luck is going to run out soon.

i totally agree we need to start performing soon but at the moment, and looking at our next 6 games, i will hope by end we are performing for chelsea but those next 6 are fucking tough games imo. lets just get some posistive points, imo i think 12 would be a fantastic acheivement by the team, and i really dont care how they do. get those points the confidence will flood back and you will see the performance improve massively

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey has a "little chance to be available."

arshavin

Shit that sounds like last week. Please, please, please don't make me watch that again :sleep:

[Marc Overmars]

Apparently Blackburn fans have some sort of protest against Kean planned. :lol:

We must be pretty shite if we can't take advantage of the one club lower on confidence than us.

There are no easy games in football.

Unless you're another team of course. Cos you're just looking at three points at the arsenal tbf.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I have a sneaky suspicion that we'll do better than our last visit to the north west.

[Flavs]

0-4 Arsenal to walk it and kean to be sacked on Sunday

[Cripps_orig]

Blackburn v Arsenal (1245 BST)

Arsenal got a great result in Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, despite conceding a late equaliser, but defensively they were all over the place for the first half-hour.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger says we should know in a couple of months what sort of team they have got and they are clearly still trying to find their feet, and finding the best way to get the best out of new players like Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun.

Blackburn sat with two banks of four players against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday and pinched a point, but I think they have to be more ambitious here.

If I were Blackburn boss Steve Kean, I would be thinking that Arsenal have got three or four new players so get amongst them, and get in their faces.

Rovers have not won a point at Ewood Park so far this season, and Saturday would be a good time to start. They need to give their fans a lift.

Prediction: 1-1


Lawro :bow:

[fakeyank]

I wonder if TJ will start this game or be on the bench

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Gervinho, Arshavin, Van Persie (c)

[Syn]

Hope we get a good game from Van Persie. He could win it on his own. :pray:

[GP]

Hope we get a good game from Van Persie. He could win it on his own. :pray:

He might need to...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pretty pace-filled team, hope we make some runs. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Rather have stuck with Yossi than put Ramsey back in tbh.

Come on Arsenal!

[GunnerFan4Life]

Surprised with the changed team. I quite like it, I think we will actually keep the ball better with Arteta and Ramsey. Benayoun could of still been useful. Who's the subs?

[GunnerFan4Life]

Arsenal Arsenal.com
Subs: Walcott, Fabianski, Djourou, Gibbs, Chamakh, Benayoun, Coquelin


Nevermind.

[Syn]

Rather have stuck with Yossi than put Ramsey back in tbh.

Come on Arsenal!

I would've played Benayoun instead of Arshavin. I'm thinking Ramsey might do ok alongside someone experienced (Arteta).

Where the fuck is Ju? <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Full teams (and so it is easier to find).

Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Dann, Givet, Hoilett, Lowe, Nzonzi, Rochina, Formica, Yakubu.
Subs: Bunn, Olsson, Grella, Petrovic, Vukcevic, Roberts, Hanley.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Gervinho, van Persie, Arshavin.
Subs: Fabianski, Walcott, Djourou, Gibbs, Chamakh, Benayoun, Coquelin.

Referee: Andre Marriner (England)


How the hell is Hoilett fit? :wacko:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Hope we get a good game from Van Persie. He could win it on his own. :pray:

Chamakh will change things when he comes on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

How the hell is Hoilett fit? :wacko:

He doesn't play for Arsenal?

[Joker]

1219: More from Infostrada Sports: Arsenal do not have a single Englishman in their starting line up - the first PL club this season to start with a team of 11 foreigners. This is the first time the club have started without an English player since December 2010 at Wigan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dwight Yorke is in the studio.

Which coincides with the last time we were good.

Probably.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Afternoon all. . .was think Benny for this one but Andy proving he has more lives than a cat. . .dreaming of an Andy 4 goal special

[GunnerFan4Life]

Arshy has scored a few goals against Bburn so come on Andrei :bow:

[GunnerFan4Life]

Really does wind me up whether RVP has grey hair or not :unsure:

He does.

RVP denied on twitter saying its the camera flash :unsure:

[GunnerFan4Life]

Who is TJ?!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Come Arsenal. . . .time to take an advantage of a team that is argubly in a worse position than us

[fakeyank]

I can already feel the tippy tappy in the air :cloud9:

[fakeyank]

Who is TJ?!

What you talking about? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good move, RVP's chocolate leg let him down there.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Who is TJ?!

Benayoun.

And the post was removed.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Cant believe Selgado is still alive. . .got to be a weak link

[Japan Shaking All Over]

sniper bullet fells Merts, hope hes OK

[Cripps_orig]

Forgot about this

Just started watching

Theo dropped? :doh:

Just fuck off Wenger

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP header back across goal, nobody attacked the far post.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Forgot about this

Just started watching

Theo dropped? :doh:

Just fuck off Wenger

Should have dropped him on his head tbh.

[Syn]

Liking our approach atm. Lots of movement and forward runs - hope it continues.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

ummmm wakey wakey Andy. . .the games started

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GERVINHO!!!!!

[Cripps_orig]

0-1

Forehead

[fakeyank]

Gervinho!!!

[Cripps_orig]

Song assist

[Syn]

Great pass Song!

[Cripps_orig]

He doesn't play for Arsenal?

:lol:

Had he been our player and that had happened, guaranteed 6 months on the sidelines

[Japan Shaking All Over]

not bad fir someone with no end product. . . .huh Zimm?

[GP]

One Song!

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[Cripps_orig]

Good to see corners from Arsenal beating the first man

Arteta :bow:

Has done f all else for us though

Meh who cares, no rules to say to say you have to have english players in the starting line up

[Thierrymon]

Chubby eduardo looks confident on the ball. Nice touch so far.

[Cripps_orig]

Chubby eduardo looks confident on the ball. Nice touch so far.

Who? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salgado off, Petrovic on.

[Fats]

Impressive how keen we are to get back and defend in numbers

[Cripps_orig]

Salgado off, someone on

Salgado :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Free header for Samba, heads it the direction it was going.

[Thierrymon]

Who? :unsure:

santos.

[Cripps_orig]

Samba free header, Sjdhfksjfdhsdfny caught in no mans land

Goes wide

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent effort from Arshavin, deflects over.

[Fats]

song not following his man again at the free kick

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin with the pull shot on the volley. :bow:

[Thierrymon]

Nice strike Arshavin.

[Cripps_orig]

Mertesacker :bow:

[Syn]

Not convincing at all at the back (shocking, I know) - we might need a few goals. 14 might be enough.

Arteta has been very good.

[Cripps_orig]

Good save Fat Rob from Gerviho

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho blasts one against Robinson.

[GP]

Ricky Gervinho :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Santos. :bow:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

We look like we are enjoying ourselves for once

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho should do better there

[Syn]

Wasteful from Gervinho for the first time this game. He's had a brilliant game so far though.

[Cripps_orig]

This Toilet geezer they have is a bit shit

[Thierrymon]

Gervinho having a good game.

Is that Dunn with a massive beard?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Yakubu.

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

Yakubu

Welcome back Arsenal

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Shit speak to soon!

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho having a good game.

Is that Dunn with a massive beard?

Givet

[Thierrymon]

Wow our defense was a mess for that. Mertesacker outa position, santos playing him onside.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should have bought Samba. Instead we have Kos. He'll cost us big time this year.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Should have bought Samba. Instead we have Kos. He'll cost us big time this year.

Samaba is shite though

[Cripps_orig]

Should have bought Samba. Instead we have Kos. He'll cost us big time this year.

Already has

[Fats]

Kos asleep AGAIN FFS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cripps_orig]

Kos asleep AGAIN FFS!!!!!!!!!!!

Tbh, our football does do that to people

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Gervinho having a good game.

Is that Dunn with a massive beard?

Joaquin Pheonix

[Niall_Quinn]

Samaba is shite though

Yep, he's pretty shite. Would be a big step up from Kos though.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Tbh, our football does do that to people

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Skjadhfksjfhny :doh:

[Thierrymon]

Almost punished by Samba from a corner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking defence again has transformed the game. We were in total control.

[Fats]

Tbh, our football does do that to people

SAME FUCKERS THAT KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES OVER AND OVER

KOS IS SHIT AND WILL COST US POINTS

[Cripps_orig]

Sagna down

Out for the season

[Fats]

WHAT FUCKING GAME IS KOS WATCHING

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Fucking defence again has transformed the game. We were in total control.

This is Arsenal you know they just don't know what total control means

[Thierrymon]

Oooof pretty rugged tackle on sagna.

[WengerISaLizard]

WHAT FUCKING GAME IS KOS WATCHING

his just a liability, he should be the bench at best, we need either miguel to develop ahead of time or vem to be back

[Fats]

Kos is the classic ball watcher

So slow to react to a run its going to cost so many goals

Watch the man not the ball froggy twat

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ARTETA!!!!!

[Cripps_orig]

ARTETAAAAAAAA

Great goal

1-2

[fakeyank]

Arteta!

[Thierrymon]

Arteta!!! top goal that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey almost fucked it up but 2-1, Arteta.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mikellllllllllllllll

[Syn]

Brilliant run from Ramsey.

It's amazing what happens when you don't just fucking stand still after passing the ball, isn't it?

[Niall_Quinn]

Classy finish by Arteta. Kos' work has been undone.

[Cripps_orig]

Predicted 2-1 to Arsenal.

Cant remember if its my banker

No more goals please

[Niall_Quinn]

Brilliant run from Ramsey.

It's amazing what happens when you don't just fucking stand still after passing the ball, isn't it?

He's a good player and he's a careless player, a pretty infuriating combination.

[GP]

Outstanding. Great run and awesome pull back from Ramsey.

[Cripps_orig]

Mikellllllllllllllll

The Chelsea player?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Could see that from the off. . . .what are the odds fir Merts and Santos to score. . .4 for the newbies?

[Ralpheroo72]

We should be out of sight

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Kos is the classic ball watcher

So slow to react to a run its going to cost so many goals

Watch the man not the ball froggy twat

This, like someone said he gives 110% but you know there is a mistake in the lad thats the problem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos did well there.

[fakeyank]

Paul Robinson has got to be one of the best Arsenal players to have played in the last few seasons.. :lol:

[Syn]

He's a good player and he's a careless player, a pretty infuriating combination.

He needed someone experienced next to him. You can't rely on him to win you games but alongside (reasonable) quality like Song and Arteta, he'll be fine.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

The Chelsea player?

Mikel ARTETA

[Fats]

The attack keep messing up all the shit work by Kos

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good idea from Arteta and RVP making the run.

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal goal: Ah. Maybe the Venky's aren't quite so happy now. Blackburn's defence is cut to shreds by Aaron Ramsey's darting run down the right and his cut-back is perfectly paced to allow Mikel Artera to stroke home his first Gunner's goal. A classy finish.

Artera :bow:

[fakeyank]

Good to see us much more direct today

[Japan Shaking All Over]

is it me? or has Wenger made rooted to his seat the position of the season

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos did well there.

Yeah, he does fairly well for 90% of the game then catastrophically badly for the critical 10%. The guy's a total liability right at the heart of the defence and there's not a single sign he's improving. Irritating as hell. He'll cost us 10-12 goals on his own this year.

[Niall_Quinn]

Working much better without Walcott, isn't it? We aren't losing the ball every 15 seconds.

[Niall_Quinn]

Plus Gervinho is a pretty decent player, so far anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Koscielny, opposition box though unfortunately.

[Cripps_orig]

Apparently this Santos dude is good at free kicks

Want to see him take one.

Good clearance there by Kos albeit for Blackburn

[Fats]

Yeah, he does fairly well for 90% of the game then catastrophically badly for the critical 10%. The guy's a total liability right at the heart of the defence and there's not a single sign he's improving. Irritating as hell. He'll cost us 10-12 goals on his own this year.

He might acheive that 10-12 this game alone FFS

[Japan Shaking All Over]

FFS Kos. . . . .hahaha

[Syn]

Gervinho :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Shite ball from Gervinho.

Theo would have made that pass tbh

[Ralpheroo72]

Shit ball Gervinho!!!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

FFS Arshavin. . . .hahaha

[Thierrymon]

Paul Robinson has got to be one of the best Arsenal players to have played in the last few seasons.. :lol:

:lol:

[Fats]

Wenger has to have a word with Gerv, fucking wasteful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho could've played in RVP there.

Arshavin. :bow:

[fakeyank]

Working much better without Walcott, isn't it? We aren't losing the ball every 15 seconds.

:gp:

Walcott on the wings is pathetic.. he rightly is said to have no footballing brain. Played down the middle he is much more effective.

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho again :doh:

[Thierrymon]

RVP giving gervinho the stink eye :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Shite ball from Gervinho.

Theo would have made that pass tbh

FFS Cripps. . . .hahaha

[Olivier's xmas twist]

FFS Gev you greedy cunt

[Cripps_orig]

Arshavin getting back to his best?

[Ralpheroo72]

Gervinho should have passed to Van Persie, fuck sake, we should be 4-1 up easily

[Olivier's xmas twist]

FFS Cripps. . . .hahaha

Cripps is having a shocker as usual

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[GP]

FFS Gev you greedy cunt

And yet we ofted get accused of passing it to death.

Damned if you do,, damned if you don't.

[Thierrymon]

Its been an entertaining match so far. I am suprised.

[WengerISaLizard]

never thought i'd see greedy cunts hungry for goals in an arsenal team again

[Japan Shaking All Over]

MoM the weather

WTF is going up there

[Syn]

Don't mind that from Gervinho. He also seemed to have a clear shot on goal but it was a fantastic block (obviously passing to VP was the better option but not by too much).

We're attacking well and much differently from what we're used to. Arteta has been seriously good.

[Fats]

And yet we ofted get accused of passing it to death.

Damned if you do,, damned if you don't.

Obviously its about making the right decisions at the right time

He didnt!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 half time. Pretty fast attacking wise, shame about the finishing though. It's going the right way though.

[fakeyank]

And yet we ofted get accused of passing it to death.

Damned if you do,, damned if you don't.

I agree here. Nothing wrong with what Gerv did... VP would have tried that shot too.

[Thierrymon]

MoM the weather

WTF is going up there

Been a bit inconsistent imo.

[GP]

Pretty good performance 1st half. We've looked threatening.

Shame that Santos played Yakubu onside, but it is his debut, so I'll cut him some slack.

Come on your gunners!

[Cripps_orig]

1-2 HT

Decent performance.

Have to watch out for that Koscielny player of theirs. Best player for Blackburn

Great goal by Arteta. Gervinho took his goal well but has had a shocker since.

Expect more goals in this game

[Syn]

I'm surprised and pleased about our attacking play. I'm not at all surprised about the defence. But overall, pretty good. We will need a couple more goals which should be within our reach.

[Fats]

Happy about the score however some players have to be told, our standards need to be higher and some of your play is well below that standard.

Game should be over.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

anybody hearing Pat Rice screaming and shouting?

Go for it. . .goes back to the point of Wenger going no where near the touchline. . .am liking this

[GunnerFan4Life]

Ramsey and Arteta are doing well in midfield. Keep it going yaal!

[Marc Overmars]

Very comfortable for the most part. Slipped off a bit for 10 mins or so when they scored but picked it up soon after.

Lets really hammer this home now and stop being wasteful, Blackeye don't have much to offer. Perfect game to get the confidence flowing.

[Fats]

I agree here. Nothing wrong with what Gerv did... VP would have tried that shot too.

Seriously, nothing wrong with what he did???

Easy pass for a certain goal is always the right option.

Gerv fucked up there 100% no excuse

[GunnerFan4Life]

Also Song has been pretty IMMENSE.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

1-2 HT

Decent performance.

Have to watch out for that Koscielny player of theirs. Best player for Blackburn

Great goal by Arteta. Gervinho took his goal well but has had a shocker since.

Expect more goals in this game

hahahaha! Should have bought him! . . . . .

This

Its about making the right decisions and he didnt make it

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't mind that from Gervinho. He also seemed to have a clear shot on goal but it was a fantastic block (obviously passing to VP was the better option but not by too much).

We're attacking well and much differently from what we're used to. Arteta has been seriously good.

Yep, and there are signs from Arshavin he might be sorting his shit out. Gervinho is making the difference up front and we're getting players forward at pace which is a huge plus. It's the defence though, why the hell didn't we get that sorted in the summer? Whatever the outfield manages to do the defence is always liable to offset it. I know Merts is settling in but there aren't many good signs from him right now. It was disappointing to see him rolling around the place early on after being tapped. The Blackburn manager is pretty poxy though, he must be able to see the weak areas but he's doing nothing about it. Hopefully he's a stubborn as Wenger and won't chance anything for the second half.

[Master Splinter]

Slightly better decision making in the final third by Gervinho and it could have been 1-4.

Arshavin and Walcott have made as many poor decisions in recent weeks though.

Szczesny looks a bit shaky today, hopefully he gets it out of his system in this match.

Gervinho, Arshavin, Arteta look good. Song having another sloppy first half; at least he should be brilliant in the second half.

[hobson's choice]

Best we've looked going forward so far, Song, Ramsey, and Arteta are playing in some good balls. Gerv and Arsh look very lively, just need to do better on the counter attacks. We can't keep defending like that on the set pieces tho, cause at some point we are gonna pay for it.

[hobson's choice]

Song having another sloppy first half; at least he should be brilliant in the second half.

What game are you watching, he created both goals

[Cripps_orig]

Just Yorke as a pundit?

Sky not putting one of the big guns out for this match pretty much tells us how they see Arsenal these days

[GunnerFan4Life]

Arshy, Song, Ramsey and Arteta :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Yorke combines the name of 2 of our players

Songa :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Next goal wins it imo

Unless we score it

[Power n Glory]

Who the heck is this idiot next to Dwight Yorke on Sky? Terrible presenter.

[Master Splinter]

What game are you watching, he created both goals

So?

He's been giving the ball away alot.

Hence, sloppy.

[Joker]

Koscielny's such a bombscare. We need Vermaelen back ASAP.

[selassie]

Best i've seen from Arsenal for quite some time, offensively we look good, just need to take our chances. Ramsey & Song have both been superb, in fact we look very good in Midfield in general.

[Power n Glory]

What game are you watching, he created both goals

Song has been solid on defence and attack. He's getting back to his old self.

[Fats]

Next goal wins it imo

Unless we score it

:good:

No shit!!!!

Kos off Cygan on IMO

[Marc Overmars]

I'm going for a Gervinho goal in the 2nd half to finish it off.

That's not before several wasted attacks though.

[Joker]

Song has been solid on defence and attack. He's getting back to his old self.

Yeah he looks good today. Just needs to keep up this level of performance for the rest of the season!

[Thierrymon]

Wonder if this is because he is outa contract in the summer.

[Niall_Quinn]

So?

He's been giving the ball away alot.

Hence, sloppy.

He's been 50/50 again, great one minute and incredibly careless the next. But he does make a difference when he's in the team and a lot of his fuck-ups happen when he's trying to be positive with a forward ball. Think I'd rather see a 50% success ratio with positive play than 0% with that tippy tappy shit.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Song has been showing traits of a true DM this half. Don't know what MS is talking 'bout.

[AKBapologist]

5 man midfield with RVP dropping deep?

mhmmm

[Niall_Quinn]

Wonder if this is because he is outa contract in the summer.

Don't ruin it for me. It's more likely he's deeply committed to the club and feels it's time to give something back. What a man.

:bow: Arshavin

[Cripps_orig]

Sirchesney has looked a bit shit today as well.

Been lucky a couple of times when hes gone on walkabouts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who the heck is this idiot next to Dwight Yorke on Sky? Terrible presenter.

One of the SSN drones.

[Master Splinter]

I saw him giving the ball away numerous times. Not a good trait for a DM.

I'm not making it up. You can watch the replay if you want.

[Mr. Lahey]

So?

He's been giving the ball away alot.

Hence, sloppy.

I thought hes been sloppy and poor defensively as well. He has made a couple nice passes going forward though.

[Thierrymon]

Don't ruin it for me. It's more likely he's deeply committed to the club and feels it's time to give something back. What a man.

:bow: Arshavin
