Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion - Saturday 5 November - 15:00 GMT

[Master Splinter]

Now that my 100% match thread winning record is over this season, I'm tempted to give up this lark. I will give myself one more chance, but if we have anything less than a win here, I will resign from match thread duties.

We should play:

Szczesny

Jenkinson
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Vermaelen

Song
Rosicky
Ramsey

Oxface
RVP
Gervinho

2-1 Arsenal.

[Cripps_orig]

Sdsfjsldkfjsdlfkj

Djourou Mertesacker Vermaelen Santos

Song Rosicky Ramsey

Theo RVP Arshavin

[Niall_Quinn]

Correct team selection:

Chesney

Jenks Merts Verm Santos

Song Arteta Ramsey

Theo RvP Gervinho

Bench: Fabs Djourou Kos Rosicky Arsh Park

Not on Bench: Chamakh

[Syn]

----------------chez--------------

-Ghelk-----kos-----mert------verm

Benayoun ---ramsey--song---rosicky

Arshavin---van persie----

[Boss]

Play the same team that played Chelsea apart from Vermaelen for Mertesacker.

[Xhaka Can’t]

15-3 to us.

We owe them.

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah, we need to put right that shocker from last season.

3-1 Arsenal.

[LDG]

Correct team selection:

Chesney

Jenks Merts Verm Santos

Song Arteta Ramsey

Theo RvP Gervinho

Bench: Fabs Djourou Kos Rosicky Arsh Park

Not on Bench: Chamakh

This one.

[IBK]

Play the same team that played Chelsea apart from Vermaelen for Mertesacker.

A tough one - but for me a combination of Merts and a sweeper (Kossy or Vermy) is probably the best one - because Verms' positional sense is suss, and Kossy, for all his interceptive class this season needs someone in the right place to cover.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Correct team selection:

Chesney

Jenks Merts Verm Santos

Song Arteta Ramsey

Theo RvP Gervinho

Bench: Fabs Djourou Kos Rosicky Arsh Park

Not on Bench: Chamakh

Not in the stadium you mean, Then again he is injured is he not

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Jenks for Johan
Verm for Santos

The rest stay the same as the Chelsea game
Could have been a chance to rest RvP, but Olsson will be trying to maul anyone we stick up front so a bit of class/trickery is needed
Arsenal win. . .clean sheet

[Master Splinter]

This one.

Apart from the six subs thing.

[LDG]

Apart from the six subs thing.

Yeah, I think he may...just may, have been making a point here.

[Cripps_orig]

Was going to go to this but after yesterdays shocker, i thought fuck Arsenal and my brother is going instead

Brother :pal:

Also went to the WBA game last season and that was terrible. How Wenger survived after that is laughable

So in other words its your brothers turn to have the season ticket

[Cripps_orig]

So in other words its your brothers turn to have the season ticket

Nope

I was supposed to go to both home games this week as im not working at the time of the match but after yesterdays pathetic performance, i have no intention of watching these cunts any time soon

[Dog Toffee]

Whoever wants either DoJo on the right for Jenkinson or Vermalean on the left for Santos is an utter cunt.

[Cripps_orig]

Jo Djo is the lesser of 2 evils tbh

Yes hes shit but hes less shit than Jenko

[Ollie the Optimist]

Nope

I was supposed to go to both home games this week as im not working at the time of the match but after yesterdays pathetic performance, i have no intention of watching these cunts any time soon

its so nice to see we have a fan who loves going to support his team

[Cripps_orig]

I can support them from home in the warmth and not having to sit through 90 mins of shite again

[Ollie the Optimist]

I can support them from home in the warmth and not having to sit through 90 mins of shite again

you mean the CL game? you ignoring the fact that we are undefeated, top of group and the best of all english teams in the comp? yes thought so. give them a break, they had a massive game at chelsea a few days before. but of course you dont do that, you just want to moan about everything

[Cripps_orig]

Yes i am ignoring it cos it has f all to do with how shit and boring the performance was on tuesday.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Yes i am ignoring it cos it has f all to do with how shit and boring the performance was on tuesday.

so basing on one performance you are not going cos they didnt win? you ignoring the performance against chelsea then which was exceptional? thought so.
the performance on tuesday wasnt great but they still created chances, played as a team and fought to the final whistle, thats enough for me. i want to see the team fight every minute regardless of the result. but for you, you just want to moan about everything, strange how quiet you were after chelsea as the team had proved you wrong. 9 wins in the last 11 games and you dont want to go watch because one performance wasnt great

Tbf 2 performances, both games ive been to. Marseille one and the Swansea one a couple of months back. Both were awful to watch and i have better things to do than watch boring ass shit

[Ollie the Optimist]

corrected

[Cripps_orig]

You cannot yet say Arsenal are back as the team we used to know but they have started to play well and they are on a really good run.

I still think they have got innate problems defensively, though, whatever their form suggests. Their left-back Andre Santos is a good footballer but can be got at and I am totally unconvinced by Per Mertesacker in the centre, so having Thomas Vermaelen back fit is a big plus for them.

West Brom rolled over very easily against Liverpool last week. Baggies boss Roy Hodgson was unhappy with the penalty decision that led to the Reds' first goal but I think he will probably be just as unhappy about the way his side played.

Injured striker Shane Long, who does the work of two men, is a big miss for them at Emirates Stadium and I cannot see them getting anything from the Gunners.

Prediction: 2-0

Ollie mate, you're not new around here!
Crippps lives in a world of extremes, he's only happy when we blow teams out the water or he's posting crap!
Take his posts the same way as your fish n chips. . .with a fist full of salt

Come on Cripps, massive win against Chelsea, sub standard performance in the CL, kinda if expected (at least we didnt lose)
Although we would all love to win in the same emphatic fashion, it just ain't going to happen. . .Chelsea had it happen to them, as did Utd. . .and Citeh are going to go through it.
what can be said is that we had a fucking awful start and have just been getting better as our run has indicated, we may still be a few players away from becoming a force but what is sure the team needs the fans and it may be a bit choice for me to be saying that while living far away in Japan but respect to your brother for taking the time to go and support the team.

I would have bitten your hand off if you had offered me your ticket no matter what their midweek performance was like - try and make sure you're around on GW so we optimists can be balanced out by your logic!
Also you can start the match reaction thread which Ive been doing in your absence :lol:

[Joker]

Another 0-0 IMO

[Syn]

2-1; Gervinho, Ramsey for us, pub-team filth for them.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We are going to make orphans of their children.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

our reliance on Robin Van Persie is similar to our reliance on Thierry Henry in the 05/06 season to score enough goals to get us champions league football. There isn't enough goal contribution from other sources, we have Chamakh who is thankfully injured because his presence on the field is about as self-assured as Ed Milliband at the dispatch box and Park Chu Young who remined us on Tuesday that his main contribution will be helping to sell shirts in the far east market. Gervinho could be played as a striker but his finishing is dire, and he's better as a foil for Van Persie.....and Walcott also seems to go absent in every other game.
I would personally throw Oxlade-Chamberlain in at the deep end, put him on either wing along with Gervinho and allow walcott to play up front, and then replace him if he starts to tire with Arshavin who seems to fair better as an impact substitute than a starter and play him behind Van Persie and allow Walcott to remain on the wing, of course this would be dependent on playing a 4-4-2 system which would see one of ramsey, arteta or song dropped and on current form i'd drop arteta.

[GP]

Nice try though

No Odemwingie for WBA.

[Cripps_orig]

Mertesacker on the bench?

:doh:

Just fuck off Wenger

[Syn]

Great choice by Wenger to keep Koscielny in. I think Mertesacker was the right one to leave out even though he has been decent.

Andre Santos scares me.

Would be nice if Arteta started to force the pace a bit.

I do wish Wilshere wasn't dead. Phenomenal player.

[Master Splinter]

No Odemwingie for WBA.

They have Tchoyi though :upset:.

RVP!!!

RVP!!!!

[KESSLER]

goooooooal

[GP]

Oh my god!

He's a fucking machine! :lol:

[Maestro]

Good initial ball by Rambo to Theo, our first real attack

[Niall_Quinn]

RvP fox in the box. This guy is unreal.

[Syn]

I can see what Walcott was trying to do - get it through the keeper's legs but it wasn't a great attempt. Good following up by VP.

Fantastic ball by Ramsey. Really, really good.

[Maestro]

Come on Theo

[WengerISaLizard]

the initial pass was made by arteta according to BBC, is that right?

[Niall_Quinn]

Eh? That's a pen isn't it? And a red card.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

The passing is very good, as good as anything Ive seen in a long time, including parts of last season

[Maestro]

We are starting to attack the game now

[Niall_Quinn]

Great move, like the old boys.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

I think the guys are really gelling

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Jenko has a very decent cross/pass on him

[Maestro]

Van Persie is a quality player.

[GP]

I like Jenkinson. A lot.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Santos :bow:

[Maestro]

Santos gheling

[Japan Shaking All Over]

I like Jenkinson. A lot.

Good post
TBH I like all our new signings

[GP]

Yep, lots of quality there.

[Maestro]

Phew

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Koscielny. :bow:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Santos takes out Song

[Niall_Quinn]

That looked dodgy, could have been a pen to them. When our defenders started literally tripping over each other I thought - here we go.

[WengerISaLizard]

that falling about between song and santos :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Yep, lots of quality there.

However Santos has me scratching my head at times

[GP]

GHELkinson got mad skillz bro.

[Syn]

Not a penalty IMO - WBA player went down far too easy.

Our passing was impeccable up until Ramsey gave the ball away for that opening.

Still, it's been surprising how quick we've passed and how quick we've pressed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VERMAELEN!!!!

[Maestro]

Kos

Keep this up and I will gladly stuff my face with humble pie

Jenko doing well

Verminator!!!!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

RvP's strike partner strikes again!

[Master Splinter]

VERMAELEN!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

TV 2-0. Sweet.

[KESSLER]

TV5!!!!!!1

great finish

[GP]

Awesome.

[GP]

Awesome.

I mean literally, that inspired awe.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're doing the simple stuff better. And it's paying off. Nothing fancy, no back-flicks or fucking around in our own box (much). Jenks makes a big difference to the directness of our game.

[GP]

I can't understand the foreign commentary on this stream, but they definitely just said Verminator.

[Master Splinter]

Positive goal difference :bow:.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Those saying we shouldnt have given Verms a new contract WUM

Cripps giving up his ticket cos he didnt want to watch this shit WUM

Cripps brother :bow:

[hobson's choice]

Easy day it is then, GOOD.

[Maestro]

Stop it RVP

[server too busy!]

Our defense is looking solid, much better performance. Verm!

[Joker]

Santos is going to cost a game in the near future. His positioning is awful, and luckily WBA don't have enough quality to capitalise on that. Arteta's playing better, but he's still not involved enough, and always plays the safe pass, which is fine against poor sides but we need much more when we play the likes of City.

Jenkinson looking good again though.

[Syn]

I thought we played that superbly. Right from kick-off the passing was quick and precise; straight to feet and it’s sticking. Even Walcott was holding up the ball well when it was fired at him. Some of the moves (like the one where Gervinho was wrongly called offside) were brilliant. Ramsey always has a silly mistake in him but he has been the standout player alongside Jenkinson. Ramsey covered some serious ground - he was everywhere.

We also pressed very well - made a lot of interceptions and bullied them off the ball a number of times. In Jenkinson, Vermaelen and Koscielny I think we have proper defenders that can defend. An added bonus that Vermaelen has a decent strike on him.

Yep, we are shit.

[Master Splinter]

Vermaelen has actually been iffy. Some stupid mad rushes and giving away that silly free kick.

Safe to say Koscielny has single-handedly earned us this clean sheet so far.

[Globalgunner]

Must be the first time weve gone 2 clear in any game this season. usually after the first goal our self confudence gives way and the other team equalise. I must say however that Arteta is nowhere like the player we need. When wilshire comes back, he should be the one to drop out. Funny that cos whenver we played against him and everton he was like a demon all over Fabregas, fouling him and stopping his play like it was personal, with us now he is like a stand by actor who is suddenly asked to play the lead.

[server too busy!]

We're winning the ball back a lot quicker than previous seasons, winning lots of headers too. This is a team of battlers!

And yet he's been at the centre of an extremely efficient and accurate passing game? He must be doing something right.

Rosicky and Benayoun :bow:

Unnecessary slide tackles :bow:

Theo and Gerv good games

Ramsey :clap:

[Niall_Quinn]

RvP over the bar. Sloppy final ball by Theo.

Ramsey off, Rosicky on. Gerv off YFB on. Not sure what YFB can give us over Gerv but I guess it was 70 minutes so something had to be done.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Kos. LOL End to end stuff and all by him.

. . .single handedly. . .

[Master Splinter]

Song :bow:.

Arteta!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ARTETA!!!

[Maestro]

Arteta

[Niall_Quinn]

Classy.

[Xhaka Can’t]

What a beauty! Looks great from behind the goal!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Fucking good goal

This team is clicking man, I tell you

Wenger contract extension :bow:

[hobson's choice]

Now that's an Arsenal goal

[KESSLER]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

[Maestro]

I repeat, RVP is a quality player

[Power n Glory]

What a great goal!

We look like our old selves again.

[Syn]

Lovely goal.

[GP]

Great goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great lay-off by RvP. Controlled finish. Game over?

[Niall_Quinn]

Crap decision by the ref. That was never a FK.

[Master Splinter]

RVP is a bit good.

Why is the fucking international break now?

Motherfucker.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref's gone into sympathy mode.

[Master Splinter]

Ju :rose:.

He could have had a +1.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Not bad Theo. . . .

[GP]

Come on then Andre, do something ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

RVP is a bit good.

Why is the fucking international break now?

Motherfucker.

There is fucking way we should let him go and play friendlies. What's the point resting him in OUR games only so he can play for those cunts? Plus he always comes back with a two year injury. Fuck them. No way can he go.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Thomas Vermaelen!

[Syn]

Heroic from Vermaelen.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some nobody is going off for them and another nobody is coming on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Jenko looks to have had a knock

[Niall_Quinn]

Foul on Song, ref ignores it, good save Chesney.

[server too busy!]

Arteta doing his move off the post trick again. I dont get it, Chesney can cover the middle of the goal.

[Syn]

This Tchoyi guy's shite. He's fucking everything up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another soft FK

[Master Splinter]

Is that Szczesny shouting "ROBIN!!!!" like a madman?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 full time.

Arsenal. :bow:

[Edinburgh Gooner]

That'll do nicely. Never gave West Brom a look in! Easy 3 points

Nice calm win. Perfect result to follow on from last week.

Or:

Chesney probably should have been sent off for no reason, our goals were down to their terrible defending and RvP is injured a lot, but that's not to take anything away from this lucky, lucky win.

Definitely the second one.

You should be a pundit at the BBC or Sky, it seems you have the required idiocy.

The Mertesacker bit plus not seeing WBA getting anything

[Cripps_orig]

No. You :pal:

It would be :pal: to me if i regretted not going but i dont.

Fair play on the other one though

Song, Ramsey and Arteta need to step their game up.

Harsh tbh. Its been 2 weeks and youre still critisising them?

Overall playing OK and should win but dear God we make it hard for ourselves sometimes.
Stupid mistake from Mertesacker, nice to see he's joining in with the Arsenal way of trying too much and getting caught
:doh:

Walcott looking good, Gervinho's dangerous, Ramsey not playing so well today.


:doh: Wrong thread, ignore me!
