Arsenal v Borussia Dortmund Wednesday 23rd 19:45

[Cripps_orig]

Win this and we are through. Lose and we are probably out as we wont win in Greece. Draw and we take 2nd probably.

We have been pretty awful performance wise in the CL this season but the results have been ok.

Need both in this game

[Marc Overmars]

Going to this.

Dortmund won't be shy to attack. Should be a good game. :popcorn:

Must win though.

Id take a point here if offered.

Take 2nd place and hope we play the winner of the Porto group

[Alpha]

Dortmund just won an away game to Bayern Munich, 1-0. I am fekin nervous already :upset:

Is there any formula that any team winning at Bayern Munich should win all the away games , milla ?

The Emirates is a different proposition . I can't remember any European team winning at the grove in the 3 past years . Even mighty Barcelona failed to do so . No need to panic Dortmund will get their deserved beating .

[Xhaka Can’t]

Anyone who won't settle for less than a win at home is a loser.

Doesnt settling for a draw make me a drawer instead?

Oi ol' fart, are you goin to this one? I'll be sitting just above red action. Cant wait but also nervous :sjow: :upset:

Nope, can't make it - hope you get a good game and 3 points!

[LDG]

Doesnt settling for a draw make me a drawer instead?

It's not as open and shut as that :sulk:

[Flavs]

am i right in thinking we just need a point to qualify?

Depends what Marseille do.

First team for this and then rotate against the dullards of Fulhamshire, i would think we will see JU in that game as well. :good:

[Flavs]

It's not as open and shut as that :sulk:

Christ get a handle on it will you

[IBK]

Having seen Fulham against Sp*rs the other weekend - I think the Fulham game is going to be a very nervy affair for us so I think Wenger's got a dilemna on his hands as regards the likes of Song; Walcott, Arteta and RVP. I'd be inclined to set up defensively for Borussia Dortmund and try to conserve some energy.

Yeah but did you see them against Sunderland? They were dire.

[IBK]

Were they? Oh Goody!

[Cripps_orig]

on one new injury...
From Saturday everybody is available. We lost Tomas Rosicky in training, he has been replaced by Abou Diaby. Rosicky has a small thigh strain.

on Diaby’s return...
I am very happy. It's been a little bit quicker than expected because he looked good in training, so it's good to have him back. He has not played one minute since the start of the season and had his surgery in June, so it's good news to have him back.

on Van Persie...
Robin started on the bench last time [in the Champions League] because we had some medical concerns. Tomorrow we have no medical concerns at all, that means he will start.

Need Rosicky back asap

[Alpha]

Bayern are pretty awesome this season so going there and winning is something that will give Dortmund supreme confidence. Id take a point if offered now

No, Ach . we gonna win this . I know Bayern is great team and beating them could only Borussia more confidence . But we have beaten better teams than Bayern and that did not give us a license to beat everyone down our road . And plus we are not Fulham after all . We are the Arsenal . we were complacent against Marseilles . Tomorrow , everyone will be on their toes . We will win this fair and square . I'm even overconfident about it .

[Cripps_orig]

I hope youre right

[Marc Overmars]

We will win 1-0.

[Cripps_orig]

I just hope its an entertaining match.

The 4 previous CL games have been so piss poor in quality and with us being shit these days, least you expect is an entertaining game if not a win

[Master Splinter]

I hope we win 1-0 with a goal deflecting off Koscielny and Gervinho's left shoulder blades and we give our worst home performance ever and Ach cries.

[Cripps_orig]

Why would i cry if we win?

You seem to be confused

[Master Splinter]

Because you're always crying about something?

Glorified Fakeyank :bow:.

[Kano]

a 2-2 draw, leaving us to get something in greece and we'll probably finish second in the group which would be better, as we can hopefully be drawn against a strong team and enjoy the spectacle.

No RB in starting eleven? :doh:

Look at it again.

Closely

[Syn]

Should be a comfortable win. 2-0 sounds about right.

I think it's good news that Diaby's back. Think he'll enjoy playing under a counter-attacking style with this team, but he'll need to pull his weight in defence. A handy player to have - if he settles in with a few sub appearances, then Ramsey or Arteta could sit the odd game out with the busy schedule over winter.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm sitting near the away fans for this. The atmosphere and noise should be pretty good, given how vocal and numerous a following Dortmund have. :popcorn:

[Flavs]

Apparently the Dortmund fans have been buying tickets in the Arsenal sections as well to further their support. I hope there is no trouble is all

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Said similar myself, I think Diaby could be a good player in this more balanced, prima donnaless team!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

The Emirates is a different proposition . I can't remember any European team winning at the grove in the 3 past years .

We haven't lost at home in the champions league against non-english opponents since 2003.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Subotic still out?

[Master Splinter]

They're at full strength.

Kagawa has toothache though :lol:.

[Cripps_orig]

Subotic is out til the new year

[Cripps_orig]

Apparently Chamakh will start tonight alongside RVP. Thats doing the rounds atm with Gervinho dropped and Diaby also coming in for Arteta and Kos moved to CB and Djo in for Mert

[LDG]

Oh dear :(

Mind you; The way they played at their gaff, it was all caused through the middle...so wonder if one of Wengers awesome tactical ploys (which happen once a season in the CL) is about to happen :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

We've won every game Chamakh has started :bow:.

(This season).

[Cripps_orig]

Hope its wrong tbh.

Dont mind Chamakh starting alongside RVP to see how it goes but dont want Diaby or Djo to start

[Master Splinter]

It just sounds mental.

It seems more likely he would rest a few players against Fulham. And why would he bring Chamakh and especially Diaby straight into the team after injuries?

And Djourou would make the defence a lot less solid.

You seem to be forgetting who our manager is

[LDG]

League is more important at the moment anyway.

What's more likely, us winning the CL to gain qualification next year, or getting in the top four?
Niether tbf

[Master Splinter]

We're winning the CL and the PL.

You're a sick fuck to think otherwise.

LDG :lol:.

Awful fan.

[LDG]

£100?

[Marc Overmars]

No need to experiment or mix things up - get the job done first. Which is why I was a little dissappointed he rested RVP against Marseille

Hopefully he sticks with the winning formula.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Regardless of what we might actually go on to achieve, winning breeds confidence, doesn't it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now. Hoddle, McClaren and Gullit are in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McClaren calls a German side efficient. :faint:

[Syn]

From the first leg, Dortmund seem anything but an efficient side. They were full of attacking flair but quite vulnerable at the back. Maybe that was a one-off though - obviously I don't watch the German league and apparently they're doing well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jeff Stelling said 'my word'. It's spreading.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Hoddle just imply this would be Barcelona's third Champions League win in a row? :haha:

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Hopefully the Belgian ref is Vermaelens best friend ala Kuyt and that Dutch ref

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dortmund close to getting through early on.

[Master Splinter]

Early semi-scare.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doesn't seem like a good atmosphere there at all.

:WMUG:

[Cripps_orig]

All Dortmund so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP went for goal, or maybe it was a pass. Either way it wasn't close.

[Cripps_orig]

RVP should have done better there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kagawa shoots straight at Sjsheneny. Wake up Song.

Poor show

[Master Splinter]

Song is always asleep for the first 25 minutes.

[Maestro]

Song is always asleep for the first 25 minutes.

The effects of a pre-match spliff take at least the 1st half to wear off, or get utilised for increased intellectual capacity and awareness. FACT

[Maestro]

It's just not sticking to our midfield 3, and hence we are failing to control the tempo

[Xhaka Can’t]

Almost sounds like an away game.

[Power n Glory]

It's just not sticking to our midfield 3, and hence we are failing to control the tempo

The middle three didn't play well in the lat game. The passing needs to be quicker cause these guys are pressing and closing us down deep in our own half.

[Maestro]

Almost sounds like an away game.

Don't know about in the stadium, but from where I'm sitting it slightly feels like an away game.

I think if we score, any kind of goal, we'll start to play well and win. MOC

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly Theo.

[Power n Glory]

What a ball!

[Cripps_orig]

We need to score asap to make the Dortmund fans STFU. They are getting annoying

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bender got Verm'd.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:bow: TV5

[Maestro]

He has just been Verminated! Can someone TM that for me

[Cripps_orig]

Hope Benders ok

[Maestro]

Bender got Verm'd.

That actually sounds better, I like

[Master Splinter]

He has just been Verminated! Can someone TM that for me

Ask Letters.

[Syn]

Cracking ball by Ramsey to release Walcott - I think Theo could've done better with his first touch there...instead of trying to lift it over the keeper, just nudge it away from goal. I think we need to get Theo involved more though - he's our best bet with his pace.

Song has started very well - a few very key interceptions.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bender off, Leitner on.

[Cripps_orig]

Leitner on

Bender hauled off

[Syn]

FFS, this injury has totally disrupted our momentum.

And hope he's ok and all that.

[Maestro]

Hope Benders ok

Is that coz he's shit?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewandowski went for it - flies wide.

[Cripps_orig]

Lewandoski just wide

[Cripps_orig]

Is that coz he's shit?No. Its cos i dont want players to be seriously injured.

Unless youre Messi or Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Cesc, Pique etc

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goetze off, Perisic on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Gotze off lol

kid who scored the wonder goal against us on.

[Cripps_orig]

Goetze hauled off

The guy who scored in Dortmund on

Hope this isnt the last time we see Goetze at the Emirates this season...

[Master Splinter]

For once it's a rival team having to deal with an onslaught of injuries.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Goetze off, Perisic on.

what happend to him

[Cripps_orig]

Looks like another Gervinho shocker

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho :haha:.

[Maestro]

No. Its cos i dont want players to be seriously injured.

Unless youre Messi or Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Cesc, Pique etc

Agreed on that

[fakeyank]

What a yawn fest!

[Cripps_orig]

What a yawn fest!Its the norm these days

Especially in the CL

[Maestro]

Goetze IS that important to them. It's telling.

[Power n Glory]

Awful passing from the midfield.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Theo.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo offside

[Master Splinter]

Theo should be sent off.

[Maestro]

close

[Cripps_orig]

Theo should be sent off.

Dortmund dont have as much pull on the refs/UEFA as Barca do fortunately

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great idea from Theo.

[Power n Glory]

This might be one of those games where RVP might have to drip deep to help the midfield and look for Theo when he's making those darting runs. Midfield are getting harrassed.

What a ball from Theo!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ball by theo, best thing he's done all night

[Master Splinter]

Theo :bow:.

[Thierrymon]

Nice ball Walcott, close.

Dortmund pressing us well, we are struggling to get any decent possession in attacking areas.

[Maestro]

Great ball from Theo, more of the same son.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant tekkers from Ramsey.

[Master Splinter]

Song :bow:.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Great ball from Theo, more of the same son.

Daddy Walcott is that really you?

[Maestro]

Song done a PV4

[Cripps_orig]

Koscielnys dive :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

ref what a biased cunt

[Master Splinter]

Shot on target from Gervinho :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time. Bit of a grind but it's ok so far.

[Cripps_orig]

0-0 HT

:sleep:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

0-0 HT

:sleep:

yep its like the reverse fixture

[Joker]

The midfield are seriously lacking in creativity AGAIN. Arteta needs to do more, he's not meant to be a defensive midfielder, that's Song's job. Moreover, he seems so careless at times in possession, and has delivered a few hospital passes tonight.

And Gervinho's having a 'mare as well.

[Xhaka Can’t]

:bow: TV5

Didn't know you spoke French!

[Syn]

Impressed with how both sides have defended. Two good attacking sides but both have been plugging any gaps. I think if Van Persie was more switched on (like he usually has been) we'd have been away - that dinked ball that was slightly behind him from Ramsey, Van Persie usually takes that with his left to shoot with his right but just miscontrolled it. Similarly Walcott just messed up the first touch when trying to lift it over the 'keeper.

Song has been very solid. Ramsey has been decent - clearly looks the most capable of finding a gap having done so twice. Walcott can do some damage but we need better hold-up play from Van Persie and Gerv (Gerv has actually been defending and tracking back superbly but largely anonymous and wasteful with the ball)...it almost clicked with a reverse ball from RVP when Walcott was through but rightly called offside.

We can take this lot - they were tiring towards the end of that half whereas we were gathering momentum. Hopefully Wenger just tells them to stay patient and not to anything silly. After 60 mins, we might be able to pick them off. A draw wouldn't be a disaster but I think we'll grab a professional win.

We got away with it at Norwich but these guys are pressing hard. The trio need to get a hold of the game. Positioning of Arteta and Ramsey is terrible. They're not open for passes and not moving quick enough.

Exactly, which is why our play looks so disjointed.

[Cripps_orig]

Players are out for the 2nd half

Hoping this half is better than the first half shocker

[Power n Glory]

Exactly, which is why our play looks so disjointed.

It's been a problem all season but hopefully they get their act together.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That deflection could've gone against us, helped us out in the end though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shajaeneny saves from Kagawa.

Alex Song you fucking genius!!!!

Alex "Pele" Song to Robin "God" van Persie! 1-0.

[Niall_Quinn]

SONG IS GOD

No, RvP is God, Song is Pele.

[Elreactor]

OMG what a fucking great goal.

RVP and Song´s play :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Totally against the run of play.

Dortmund were fucking us like a Barca on a Wenger but Song turns the tide :bow:

[Power n Glory]

Alex Song!!! Mate!!!!

Underrated skill. Perfect delivery.

[IBK]

I realise I fucking LOVE Song (hope I didn't take part in the bashing last season).

[Syn]

Song :bow:

Brilliant stuff.

[Cripps_orig]

Dortmund have to attack now

Theo should get some space

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmelzer booked. He misses the game with Marseille.

[Maestro]

No, RvP is God, Song is Pele.

Sorry, got it twisted there for a moment ..y'know

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho again. :doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Oh dear god Gervinho

Just go

Awful player

[Master Splinter]

Santos is Hleb-like in tight situations.

[Power n Glory]

Bambi

[Niall_Quinn]

I wonder if Gervinho will ever do something right again? Talk about losing form.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

ughhhh why can't you finish!!

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo should've shot then too.

[Maestro]

Utter shocker from Megamind there, could have closed this off

[Xhaka Can’t]

We have to stop fucking around in their box and take our chances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo booked. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ridiculous booking for Walcott. Stupid ref.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barrios on, Kehl off.

[Syn]

Gotta love the Europeans. They've turned this into a sport for fannies. Smeltzer - or whatever his name is - pushes Walcott...so Walcott pushes him back...yellow card? Fuck off.

[Syn]

Fantastic play from Song. Another good ball by Ramsey. Nice counter.

[Power n Glory]

Nobody will pass to Gervinho when he's missing chances.

[Power n Glory]

Song is in beast mode!!

[Cripps_orig]

Arteta limping

Out for the season

[Maestro]

Arteta haters ...he's limping off

[Niall_Quinn]

How is that not a yellow card for the foul on RvP? Totally deliberate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leitner rakes RVP down the back of his leg.

[Maestro]

Song is in beast mode!!

That weed has properly kicked in now.

[Cripps_orig]

RVP looks in pain

Nooooo

FFS

Out for 2 seasons

[Syn]

Van Persie looks like he's struggling.

[Power n Glory]

Arteta haters ...he's limping off

What has that guy done though? I just can't see the big fuss.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great work rate from the team tonight.

[Maestro]

[QUOTE=Power_n_Glory;68321]What has that guy done though?

Nothing according to some people

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho off, Benayoun on.

[Syn]

Good sub.

Yossi :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

YFB on for Gervinho. Like for like (non-effective for non-effective)

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho hauled off

Benyaoun on

Hope this is the last we see of Gervinho

[Power n Glory]

That weed has properly kicked in now.

Weed don't do that. He's in Tony Montana on cocaine mode.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey booked.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey booked

[Niall_Quinn]

Absolute nonsense booking for Ramsey. What a picky cunt this ref is.

[Syn]

Ref should just fuck off and die.

Ramsey booked for no reason.

[Master Splinter]

This ref is an utter joke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. The new Inzaghi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benayoun booked. :blink:

[Cripps_orig]

Benayoun booked

[Power n Glory]

[QUOTE=Power_n_Glory;68321]What has that guy done though?

Nothing according to some people

Besides covering space and chasing shadows, what else?

What is this ref on?

[Syn]

Right, we're going to get sent off anyway.

Make it count lads...on the ref's shin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benayoun. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Benayoun :doh:

[Power n Glory]

Santos is underrated! Good play.

[Cripps_orig]

Dortmund making a sub

Djourou coming on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Koscielny off, Djourou on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mr Calamity comes on - Kos off. That's a huge risk.

[Cripps_orig]

Kos hauled off

Bit strange that unless theres an injury

[Syn]

Another good game from Kos.

[Maestro]

No Wenger, why ..fucking why

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deflected over.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should have let RvP take that FK.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diaby on, Theo off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo off Diaby on.

Isn't this a bit dumb, bringing Djourou and Diaby on when we're winning the group?

[Cripps_orig]

Theo off

Diaby on

Has there ever been a worse 3 subs come on for a football club in a match?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP!!!!!

[Cripps_orig]

2-0

RVPPPPPP

[Niall_Quinn]

Doesn't matter RvP 2-0

[Power n Glory]

Welcome back Diaby.

Home free!!! RVP

[Master Splinter]

RVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vermaelen. :bow:

The new Steve Bould.

[Cripps_orig]

George Graham tactics :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ultimate goal machine.

[Maestro]

He Is God, NQ

[Syn]

Well worked corner :faint:

What a difference Vermaelen makes.

Van Persie is shit hot right now.

[IBK]

He is a machine. AFC back in business!

[Niall_Quinn]

Kurt Cobain is doing his nut in the Dortmund dugout.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Steve Bould style flick on!

I'm falling back in love with this team!!!!!
