Arsenal v Bolton - Carling Cup Round Four - Tuesday 25 October - 19:45

[Master Splinter]

Bolton will probably play their strongest team to get some form going.

Should be enjoyable to see Oxo and Ju get some more play time.

Fabianski

Santos?
Djourou
Miquel
Angha?

Coquelin
Frimpong
Benyanoon

Oxtail-Chambermaid
Ju
Arshavin

2-1 Arsenal.

[Marc Overmars]

3-0 to the Arsenal.

Asians :haha:

Your face is asian. :pal:

[GP]

Your face is asian. :pal:

That's a horrible thing to say.

[Master Splinter]

Your face is asian. :pal:

:haha:

His face is also shit.

So's his face.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Hearing rumours from some journos on twitter that TV5 is in line to either start or come off bench.

[Cripps_orig]

He was training today so wouldnt be surprised

Fabianski

Coquelin Squillaci Vermaelen Santos

Benayoun Frimpong Rosicky

Oxlade Chamakh Park

[fakeyank]

RVP must start this.. our only realistic chance of winning silverware tbh

[Young Guns 11]

Thomas Vermaelen is in the Arsenal squad to face #BWFC, I can confirm. Not decided if he'll start yet. Mixed squad.

Looking forward to this. Early round, home cup game usually means an automatic win. Should be good to see Verm and Oxo play (though it might be hard getting access to watch the game... <_< )

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Radio commentary will be on 5 Live Sports Extra. :scarf:

Every league game live. . .over here. . .CL a couple of days late (or I can rely on LDG to spoil it for me!)

FAC or LC not a sniff!
Could look into radio coverage, used to love radio back in the day

[Flavs]

Aneke will be in the starting line up tonight as will Park, i expect Myachi to appear at some point as well.

Arsenal :bow: Selling shit to Asia since Inamoto

[server too busy!]

Where has Myachi disappeared off to?

[Syn]

Arsenal : Fabianski, Yennaris, Squillaci, Vermaelen (c), Miquel, Coquelin, Frimpong, Benayoun, Chamberlain, Arshavin, Park.

Verm :bow:

Miyachi on the bench.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vermaelen straight back in? :rose:

About time Park started though.

[GP]

Who the fuck is Yannaris?

[server too busy!]

Any links to this?

[GP]

I assume we're not on the box?

[Niall_Quinn]

I assume we're not on the box?

Some bunch of losers called Man Utd are on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pretty much. 5live Sports Extra is the best available without using a stream.

[Marc Overmars]

Who the fuck is Yannaris?

This.

Come on you Gunners!

[server too busy!]

Are there no streams? Gay

[GP]

Some bunch of losers called Man Utd are on.

I would 1-6 support that side.

[Gubby Allen]

He's taking the piss a bit with this side. Rosicky didn't play Sunday, he won't play this Saturday so where is he? Djorrou's hardly taxed from matches.

Far be it to ever suggest that Chamakh could've figured in the 18 but maybe he could've at least been ..., maybe not then, forget him.

[Gubby Allen]

Just out of interest would we (and Man Utd) have suggested playing these games only 48 hrs on?

I'm assuming we could've played on Wednesday but chose today instead to give us 4 days for Chelsea - or were we told to play it tonight?

[Niall_Quinn]

No Chamakh, no Walcott. Strong line up.

[Gubby Allen]

No Chamakh, no Walcott. Strong line up.

The Bolton side doesn't look much cop either except the boy Squillaci. He always looks like he has a goal in him for them at any time. He could create havoc inside our box, if he isn't tightly marked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just out of interest would we (and Man Utd) have suggested playing these games only 48 hrs on?

I'm assuming we could've played on Wednesday but chose today instead to give us 4 days for Chelsea - or were we told to play it tonight?

We get told when we are playing.

[WengerISaLizard]

sopcast streams anyone?

[Niall_Quinn]

We get told when we are playing.

Typically bad scheduling by Wenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zat Knight tried helping us out. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

sopcast streams anyone?

Sure!

How much?

[Gubby Allen]

Tell you how old I'm ****ing getting.

One of our subs, I saw his Dad play for us when he was a teenager - and our winger's dad play against us when he was a youngster.

[V-Pig]

Seems there's only that radio commentary available.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zat Knight is doing it again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube shoots, double deflection and out for a corner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Seems there's only that radio commentary available.

Last commentary only game was great.

For example, we're playing very well so far, good pace, neat passing, 100% possession despite the commentators claims (which are wrong)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube ran out of room er running, good play though apparently.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lovely weight on the pass from Frimpong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Squillaci gives away a freekick in a dangerous area. :lol:

[Ollie the Optimist]

anyone got any streams?

[Niall_Quinn]

Outrageous decision by the linesman. Ju was clearly onside and in on goal.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners.

[Alpha]

Squillaci gives away a freekick in a dangerous area. :lol:


What do you expect from Squillaci mate ? He is only Squillaci after all .

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park keeps falling on his arse by the sounds of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What do you expect from Squillaci mate ? He is only Squillaci after all .

Nothing much other than to look like Death.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save by Fabianski to deny Pratley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And now Bogdan saves from Park. A shot from 25 yards. :yikes:

[DannyFishcharge]

Wenger and the coaches will be working on getting those sort of ideas out of his head ASAP

[Alpha]

Nothing much other than to look like Death.

I even wonder why AW chose that clown for such an important game for us . He could have put Verminator and kid Miguel in the middle and keep Djourou to the right to get used to that position . But Squillaci its a potential crash to happen .

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Squillaci booked, I think.

[server too busy!]

And now Bogdan saves from Park. A shot from 25 yards. :yikes:

For hat alone he deserves to start ahead of Chamakh

[Joker]

We've made too many changes tonight. Should have at least a couple more first team regulars out there, to help the youngsters out and to find some form themselves. This is our best chance of a trophy this season and we shouldn't throw it away.

[WilshereourGHEL]

it seems that alex oxalaide is human.

[Niall_Quinn]

YFBenny shoots wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin shoots. Inevitably nearly goes out for a throw-in.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arshavin shoots. Inevitably nearly goes out for a throw-in.

Pot shot. Heroin shot next.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Squillaci booked, I think.

With a bit of luck, Bolton will soon be down to eleven men.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like Arshavin and Oxtail are playing shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park shoots, Bogdan saves again.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Not really, we should have enough to beat these lot tbh.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bogdan saves from Park again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds a bit dull.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mind you, Park has done more in one half than Chamakh has done all season, so he should move up the pecking order.

[Marc Overmars]

Hoping for pels

[fakeyank]

Park is the next TH14

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Muamba.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off 0-1 Muamba

[Niall_Quinn]

Mistake by Coquelin

[Niall_Quinn]

Park through again, offside again.

[Joker]

Frimpong lost the ball for that goal. He needs to improve his technical level if he wants to become a first team regular.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ARSHAVIN!!!!!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Arshavinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Marc Overmars]

Get in!

[Edinburgh Gooner]

FATBOY!!!!!!!!!

[hymppi]

i fucking hate following matches only thru GW.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 Arshavin, did it all himself.

[Niall_Quinn]

Frimpong lost the ball for that goal. He needs to improve his technical level if he wants to become a first team regular.

According to the commentators I'm listening to Coquelin played Frimpong short, which is why he was dispossessed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PARK!!!!

Arshavin assist. :bow:

[hymppi]

1-1 Arshavin, did it all himself.
what was the goal and the build up like?

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Parkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Syn]

Nice one ju

[Ollie the Optimist]

PARRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Niall_Quinn]

Park 2-1 from inside the box!

[hymppi]

PARK!!!!

Arshavin assist. :bow:

welcome ju!

[Xhaka Can’t]

i fucking hate following matches only thru GW.

I love it.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

[Gubby Allen]

Good 3 minutes for Arshavin - brilliant goal, brilliant asssit. That'll be him done with now for 2 weeks.

[Niall_Quinn]

what was the goal and the build up like?

Arshavin saved a shot then rolled it out to himself, played it wide to himself, cut inside and beat himself at the near post with an accurate strike.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Arshavin saved a shot then rolled it out to himself, played it wide to himself, cut inside and beat himself at the near post with an accurate strike.

PMSL!!!

[hymppi]

I love it.
yeah, but you're a masochist, though.

[Marc Overmars]

Nice!

Chakma. :wave:

[Niall_Quinn]

Arshavin, Park and YFB exchanging passes. Ox can't get on the end of it.

Pratley off, Ngog on, I think.

[Syn]

Good 3 minutes for Arshavin - brilliant goal, brilliant asssit. That'll be him done with now for 2 weeks.

Just in time for the next CC game.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

from bbc live text...
Former Bolton midfielder and current West Ham player Matt Taylor at Emirates Stadium for BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "What a superb way to score your first goal for Arsenal. Park Chu-Young was very intelligent there, and it was a great finish into the bottom corner. Adam Bogdan in the Bolton goal had no chance."

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like action stations at the back every time Bolton attack.

[Xhaka Can’t]

yeah, but you're a masochist, though.

True.

[Gubby Allen]

Sounds like action stations at the back every time Bolton attack.

The lad Squillaci has given our boys at the back a headache all match. Be a relief if he gets taken off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick in a dangerous area for Bolton, Frimpong GHELing I think.

[Master Splinter]

Kakuta :lol:.

[Marc Overmars]

http://cfile214.uf.daum.net/image/171FA13B4EA7153D0BE33C

[Edinburgh Gooner]

defence sounds shit!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kakuta's freekick saved by Fabianski, well, kinda.

[Niall_Quinn]

http://cfile214.uf.daum.net/image/171FA13B4EA7153D0BE33C

Glorious finish.

[Xhaka Can’t]

defence sounds shit!!!

:faint:

[Gubby Allen]

Kakuta off, Eagles on.

He was good against us the day Burnley knocked us out.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Nice one MO!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube off, Miyaichi on.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

ryo on

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox off, not great from him today. Ryo on.

[Gubby Allen]

Oxo off for Myachi. Bet the cameras are going off all over the place.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabianski flukes a save from Eagles. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Flappy's back.

[hymppi]

http://cfile214.uf.daum.net/image/171FA13B4EA7153D0BE33C
:bow:
that is beautiful!

[Niall_Quinn]

Cahill looking for pen, ref says no.

[Gubby Allen]

http://cfile214.uf.daum.net/image/171FA13B4EA7153D0BE33C

Brilliant goal - can you get hold of the first goal?

[IBK]

Flappy's back.
Bit harsh. 1st return to the fray. I'd rather a lucky keeper....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Frimpong off, Ozyakup on.

[Gubby Allen]

Frimpong off - Ozzie Osbourne has come on apparently.

[Marc Overmars]

http://cfile207.uf.daum.net/image/1971FD374EA714620B9855

[Niall_Quinn]

He's fumbled again lol

[IBK]

http://cfile207.uf.daum.net/image/1971FD374EA714620B9855

Cheers for the mpegs mate.

[Gubby Allen]

Flappy's back.

He's at it again - another fumble.

We're doing our best to throw this one away but Bolton are refusing to play along & equalise.

[Niall_Quinn]

PingPong off, Ozyakup off.

Doh. Terrible decision by Wenger, means we're down to 9.

[IBK]

He's fumbled again lol

But didn't concede...

Lets get at our keepers when they let them in, eh?

[hymppi]

http://cfile207.uf.daum.net/image/1971FD374EA714620B9855
thanks MO!

[IBK]

Another goal in this mofo...

[Niall_Quinn]

Close, Ryo almost puts Arshavin through. Otherwise Bolton are on top.

[Gubby Allen]

Doh. Terrible decision by Wenger, means we're down to 9.

8 if you include Squid and Fabianski is only a 1 at a push.

[Gubby Allen]

I wanted Aneke to get 20 minutes or so tonight, but wouldn't be wise to bring him on now.

[IBK]

Fabianski doing OK - 1st game for how long?

[Niall_Quinn]

Cahill, must get!

[Edinburgh Gooner]

But didn't concede...

Lets get at our keepers when they let them in, eh?

Fair point mate. I read your post as he fumbled and instinctively replied.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Boateng on, Vermaelen off. Possible hamstring strain.

[Gubby Allen]

Last sub - Boateng on for Vermalaen (clutching his hamstring earlier)

[IBK]

Fair point mate. I read your post as he fumbled and instinctively replied.

Nice one mate - ain't often folks change their mind on here!

[Gubby Allen]

Is Boateng English?

[Niall_Quinn]

Park shoots again - wide. Mad to have a player that shoots more than once a game. TV off Boeteng on. Bit of a strange one unless TV has picked up a knock. He just got kicked by Ngog.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Nice one mate - ain't often folks change their mind on here!

As you say, the flapster aint played much of late.

[IBK]

Bit concerned about Tommy V...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Boateng English?

Yup.

[Gubby Allen]

Robbie Blake could be the dad of about 20 of the players on the pitch.

(Only in terms of his age).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klasnic puts it over, should've made it 2-2 by the sounds of it. Or at least hit the target.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

very dodgy at the back now. we just gotta hold on now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Close again from Bolton.

[hymppi]

vermy injured?
deja vu...

[Niall_Quinn]

Be a bit of a joke if TV is injured again.

[IBK]

Depressingly common with players coming back....especially ours!

[Coney]

Cahill, must get!

You think he's been trying to impress AW?

[Niall_Quinn]

+4 mins

[Edinburgh Gooner]

4 minutes added time. Arsene goin a bit nuts over that.

[Gubby Allen]

4 mins injury time, please hold on - not sure we've got another 30 minutes in us with no more subs.

[Niall_Quinn]

You think he's been trying to impress AW?

City will bid £327trillion apparently, plus £774quadrazillion in add-ons. 1 year contract with buyout clause of £25. We may have to wait a year.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cahill over the bar - definitely sign him now!

[Niall_Quinn]

Zat Knight heads wide from corner. Unmarked 6 yds out. We're hanging on.

[Gubby Allen]

Depressingly common with players coming back....especially ours!

Not sure he'd have been ready to start against Chelsea Saturday, hopefully was just a bit tight or a knock & he'll be starting next week.

[IBK]

City will bid £327trillion apparently, plus £774quadrazillion in add-ons. 1 year contract with buyout clause of £25.

Just to stop us having him....

[Niall_Quinn]

Bit embarrassing, fans whistling up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT!!

Arsenal. :bow:

[Edinburgh Gooner]

LOL, just flicked to the bbc live text again. slip of the keyboard me thinks with the guy saying "Aldershit threaten again and it's...."

[IBK]

Another one bites the dust...

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 2-1 another win.

[Gubby Allen]

I know it's the Mancs game but before they change it, the BBC thread have called Aldershot something else:


Aldershit threaten again and it's that man Gutteridge who has a free-kick from the edge of the area saved by Manchester United keeper Ben Amos.

[hymppi]

phew!

arsenal!

welcome ju!

[Syn]

Two fantastic goals.

Into the quarters!

Hope the draw is kind once more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reading through a little, red cards?

[Niall_Quinn]

Just woke up to change nappy(kid's not my own)

Eew - so you don't bother changing yours?

2-1 win, Arsh, Ju, cracking goals, Squid with a yellow, no reds.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Eew - so you don't bother changing yours?
