Arsenal v Fulham - Saturday 26 November - 17:30 (GMT)

[Master Splinter]

Same team?

Maybe drop Gervinho for Benyanoon.

Beat Fulham then the first team can have a week off.

2-1 Arsenal.

[Cripps_orig]

Arshavin in for Gervinho

Everything else the same

I was supposed to go to this

Fucking work :(

[Master Splinter]

I would have thought the taped box set of Eastenders omnibuses you've put together over the years would be your priority.

[Cripps_orig]

I would have thought the taped box set of Eastenders omnibuses you've put together over the years would be your priority.Not anymore

Arsenal :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I hope we score more goals than them.

[GP]

I hope we smash their back doors in.

[Marc Overmars]

Wouldn't surprise me if we rested a few, including RVP. You could tell a lot of effort went into tonight. Rotate here then full strength vs Man City perhaps?

Fulham are draw specialists and have enough to frustrate us, but you wouldn't back against us in this form. 3-1 to the Arsenal.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Arshavin in for Gervinho

Everything else the same

I was supposed to go to this

Fucking work :(

Thought you loved work.

[Master Splinter]

Wenger will play the second string against Citeh.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Wenger will play the second string against Citeh.

Mancini will play a 3rd string against Arsenal.

[Master Splinter]

Mancini will play a 3rd string against Arsenal.

Clichy, Nasri and Kolo?

[Cripps_orig]

Thought you loved work.Not at the expense of missing an Arsenal game

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Not at the expense of missing an Arsenal game

Not what you siad last 2 months

[Syn]

Hmm...think we'll need an early goal here or it'll be a bit of a struggle. A couple of hard-fought wins in the week already could mean tiring legs in the second half. Resting Van Persie is not an option.

I'd play Benayoun instead of Arteta and Oxlade/Park instead of Gervinho. Both seem knackered.

[milla]

I dont expect RVP to start this game. One of either Theo or Gervinho will be rested as well. :coffee:

Rozza is in good form, play him in midfield. Get lesbo jew to play one of the wide role. Save RVP for Citeh game. :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/team-news-koscielny-jenkinson-gibbs

No new injuries. :woohoo:

Although it doesn't say if Rosicky is back.

[Dog Toffee]

Same team IMO, no point changing it if everyone is 100%, we have a rest coming up and VP didnt play in the 2 week internationals. Although we have plaenty of options in midfield and wings so Diaby, Rosicky and B'yoon will feature im sure.

3-0.

[Syn]

It's obviously not going to be an unchanged line-up. He named an unchanged line-up in midweek. So this would be the 3rd game in 7 days...has Wenger ever named an unchanged team for 3 games in a week?

Arshavin/Benayoun's likely to start. Possibly Diaby in midfield too.

[GP]

Possibly Diaby in midfield too.

0-3

[Flavs]

if we get an early goal we will "literally " rape these. RvP, Walcott and Gervinho will all be rested me thinks

[server too busy!]

You can't start Arshavin unfortunately as his work rate and tracking back is awful. We'd be over run on the left.

[Flavs]

You can't start Arshavin unfortunately as his work rate and tracking back is awful. We'd be over run on the left.

By Damian Duff and Stephen kelly? I think we would survive

[Syn]

Fulham players have scored 13 goals this season. Van Persie has also scored 13 goals this season.

Since we're a one-man team, it should be a very close game.

I don't want Arshavin to start but I think he will.

[server too busy!]

Personally I'd go with Benny IF Gervinho needs a rest. He works hard and is creative. Arshavin can come on as a sub when players are tiring.

[Flavs]

We have to sell Arshavin in the January window, what's the point in keeping him here?

[Marc Overmars]

No top club would take him now.

Only bet is Anzhi paying us a trillion rubles to have him.

[Master Splinter]

Makhachkala or PSG would definitely buy him.

Benyanoon would be a better option. Puts in an effort and doesn't look past it, despite being older. The wages would likely be a problem though.

If the Fat Fuck works hard to fight for his place in the team, then fair enough.

But Arshavin working hard :haha:.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

0-3

Nah were winning this 4-0 tbh

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We have to sell Arshavin in the January window, what's the point in keeping him here?

The Russians will splash big cash on him as will PSG, we could even trick the mancs into a swap deal for Adam Johnson tbh

[Joker]

I wouldn't mind selling Arshavin in January. Apart from 3 months at the end of 2008-2009 and a few moments here and there since, he's been a disappointment.

[Syn]

*puts £500 on Arshavin finishing top goalscorer*

[Cripps_orig]

Arshavin to start.

Better than Gervinho by quite some distance

[fakeyank]

Szczesny hattrick.. Comfortable 4-0 win with the 4th coming from pat rice

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Arshavin to start.

Better than Gervinho by quite some distance

Here we go again!

[Maestro]

I'll take any kind of win today. Quite looking forward to it actually.

[Marc Overmars]

Any win that keeps our run going is fine by me.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

There you have it. . . .a win and I reckon most on GW will be happy!

[Syn]

Anyone want some free money?

Ladbrokes will refund all losing FGS bets if Van Persie scores at any time.

Arteta at 12/1 might be a good shout.

[gunnerrrrr]

Szczesny hattrick.. Comfortable 4-0 win with the 4th coming from pat rice

What an idiot!

The 4th will be scored by Ian Wright as per our last 3 games....!!

[Syn]

Aww, horseshit!!!

Apparently Santos has said on twitter that he's ill.

Man up you fat lump of shit.

[Syn]

S'ok. He has manned up.



Arsenal: Szczesny, Djourou, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Arshavin, Walcott, Van Persie (c).

Substitutes: Fabianski, Koscielny, Diaby, Frimpong, Benayoun, Gervinho, Chamakh.


Not starting the man who has been single-handedly responsible for our good defensive form...risky, but I guess he's dead and needs the rest. Arshavin and Santos on the left could be worrying. They might get sent off for eating their right winger.

[Kaiser]

Need a big game from Arshavin, with actual tracking back. Djourou needs to not fuck up.

[Maestro]

Yep, Djourou is a liability. Hope he is not targeted ...any win please lads

[Asthmatic Kitty]

this is the first time i've seen the espn subbuteo-esque board thing, haha!!

what a joke espn is

[McNamara That Ghost...]

S'ok. He has manned up.



Arsenal: Szczesny, Djourou, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Arshavin, Walcott, Van Persie (c).

Substitutes: Fabianski, Koscielny, Diaby, Frimpong, Benayoun, Gervinho, Chamakh.

Fulham: Schwarzer, Baird, Hangeland, Senderos, Riise, Etuhu, Murphy, Dempsey, Ruiz, Dembele, Zamora.
Subs: Etheridge, Johnson, Kasami, Gecov, Hughes, Frei, Briggs.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

[GP]

Any streams for this one?

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Djourou FFS. Just as we were starting to look solid at the back.

[Niall_Quinn]

Just want to point out before the kickoff that the ref is awful.

[Syn]

Any streams for this one?

If you've got Sopcast: sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/6816 is working for me.

[Syn]

Just want to point out before the kickoff that the ref is awful.

And far too politically correct.

He's also fat.

[fakeyank]

What happened to TV5?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What happened to TV5?

:unsure:

[Master Splinter]

Santos :bow:.

What a man.

If Arshavin can't play well today with the first team in good form, then he needs to GTFO.

Attacking line-up from Fulham.

Let's hope Ruiz continues not to live up to Maccy's billing.

[GP]

What happened to TV5?

He's awesome.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Arshavin.

[fakeyank]

:unsure:
My bad.. I meant kos

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My bad.. I meant kos

I expect he isn't being played because he'll play on Tuesday against Citeh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schwarzer saves from Ramsey. Good pass from RVP.

[Master Splinter]

Ruiz with their interception.

Sums it up really.

Hope we're not as wasteful as last week.

[Master Splinter]

Theo :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zamora shoots from 20 yards out, over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey shoots over from ten yards.

Theo. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Theo should have taken a shot.

[GP]

Awesome from Theo, Rambo needs to do better than that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Corners galore for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Booking for Santos. Zamora booked too. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Song :doh:.

[Master Splinter]

Nice and cynical from Santos.

[Syn]

Song and Ramsey not up to speed at all.

Walcott's again our best bet of getting in on goal. Hope he's not injured.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Deffo missing Gev it seems

[Master Splinter]

Santos :bow:.

[fakeyank]

We need to practice set pieces.. Absolutely toothless from corners n free kicks

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott is almost a good player.

[Syn]

Schwartzer's probably had more touches than any other Fulham player. The definition of a pub team.

Time-wasting cunts.

[Maestro]

Ramsey & Arteta really have to give a lot more in the offensive part of our game, they are poor atm

[Master Splinter]

Classic Silly Song.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey & Arteta really have to give a lot more in the offensive part of our game, they are poor atm

I think they're both playing it around quite well. It's the decision making of Theo, Arshavin and Santos that's lettings us down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SHasndheny saves Dembele's shot!

[Niall_Quinn]

Great save Ches, that would have been so typical.

[Master Splinter]

Good save Szczesny.

[Niall_Quinn]

Then terrible keeping from the corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP airshot. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

We're playing so slow. Just up it a bit and this Fulham team wouldn't be able to live with it. Maybe that's the plan for the second half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Etuhu booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Horrible challenge on Arteta, Waddle the prick thinks it's a good challenge.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time.

[Marc Overmars]

Wenger out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts just wide. HT. Up the pace in the second half and we'll get 2 or 3. Keep fucking around and we risk one of those snatch and grabs.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Wenger out.

:gp:

[Syn]

Lethargic and laboured.

We're going to struggle in the second half - just like the first half.

No game changers on the bench either.

Hope a moment of brilliance can clinch it.

[Maestro]

I think they're both playing it around quite well. It's the decision making of Theo, Arshavin and Santos that's lettings us down.

that too and I get what you are saying, but I really think when we break or space opens up they need to be more direct sometimes and offer a real attacking alternative to always sending the ball wide

they can have a much bigger impact on the game, theo, gerv, arsh (oh),rvp are not always going to be on form and it is important to get a contribution from central mid

it certainly feels like everyone is waiting for RVP to score .....

[Master Splinter]

Theo the best player on the pitch.

Most of the others need to wake up and inject some urgency into the play.

[Joker]

Another lethargic performance devoid of any creative spark whatsoever. The fact that Fulham made more passes than us 43 minutes in speaks volumes. How many times in the last 10 years has an away side had more completed passes than us, especially a non top-4 team? This just shows how inferior our midfield is compared to the recent past. How Wenger has allowed this to happen is astounding.

[gunsofashburtongrove]

Fulham working to slow down pace, we are obliging by playing in 2nd gear. Vermaelen hasn't looked good. Santos stood out so far . Arteta and Song in control in the middle. Djorou surprisingly good.The rest showing us usual ability without standing out

[Xhaka Can’t]

If it leads to another win as just about every other recent performance has, I don't give a fuck.

Joker - serious question: do you ever use your brain and 'think'?

If this fact is true, count the passes made by Schwartzer, Senderos and Hangeland....they are passing it around their area, wasting-time, waiting for Van Persie or Ramsey to close them down before launching it up field. They have little intention of going forward and are playing for a 0-0 or a smash and grab. It says nothing about our midfield.

What does say something is that our players aren't showing enough movement...which, I guess, was to be expected with Arshavin on the pitch. Van Persie looks tired as does most of the team...doesn't look good - I thought we needed that early goal but Ramsey blazed over.

[Joker]

Our midfield is seriously not good enough at the moment. Arteta has been barely visible AGAIN.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our midfield is seriously not good enough at the moment. Arteta has been barely visible AGAIN.

Am I missing something here?

Have I been imagining win after win after win?

[milla]

Get Arshavin out, if Ramsey is not up to it, get him out as well. This really show why we need a proper playmaker in midfield, not some Welsh Lumpard. :coffee:

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo the best player on the pitch.

Most of the others need to wake up and inject some urgency into the play.

Nah, Theo looks the busiest but the guy rarely has an end product. Fulham are pouring their focus into keeping RvP quiet so really speaking Arshavin and Theo should be taking advantage. Song might do his game by the scruff of the neck thing in the second half.

[Niall_Quinn]

that too and I get what you are saying, but I really think when we break or space opens up they need to be more direct sometimes and offer a real attacking alternative to always sending the ball wide

He'll score. We're waiting for Song to go into beast mode too. Then we'll be sorted.

It tells us that we're not as good in possession as we used to be, as the ball is being given away more, and also that the midfielders are not showing for the ball, therefore the defenders can't build from the back and are forced to hoof it forward. So yes, the statistic does tell us something about the midfield. Moreover, we can stop Fulham pointlessly passing the ball in midfield if we close them down more. Arteta's supposed to be doing the dirty work in this team, at least that's what his supporters have been telling us. Yet why is not trying harder to wrestle back possession? Creativity wise he's pointless, so if he's not doing the defensive stuff what's his role supposed to be?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nah, Theo looks the busiest but the guy rarely has an end product. Fulham are pouring their focus into keeping RvP quiet so really speaking Arshavin and Theo should be taking advantage. Song might do his game by the scruff of the neck thing in the second half.

I've lost patience with Theo and want rid, but fairs fair, he has been good today - our best player in fact and had Ramsey not hit his pass into Upper Tier Row 27, we'd be pretty comfortable by now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Am I missing something here?

Have I been imagining win after win after win?

Yes, we are bottom of the league and nailed on for relegation. Where have you been hiding?

[gunsofashburtongrove]

Nah, Theo looks the busiest but the guy rarely has an end product. Fulham are pouring their focus into keeping RvP quiet so really speaking Arshavin and Theo should be taking advantage. Song might do his game by the scruff of the neck thing in the second half.
True. Unlike the rest Arshavin doesnt have an excuse to be short on energy. While he hasn't looked poor has gone into an energy conservation mode like the rest of em

[Joker]

Am I missing something here?

Have I been imagining win after win after win?

The wins have been very welcome but they've papered over serious deficiencies in this team. The midfield is the main worry, but how often has Santos done something seriously idiotic in the last few weeks? Luckily, most of the time he's not been punished, but one of these days he's going to cost us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Creativity wise he's pointless, so if he's not doing the defensive stuff what's his role supposed to be?

Yeah but he is, he's been up and down and across the pitch non-stop. And the hassling and harrying and closing down the space has been fine, but you can't do much when the opposition wants to pass back. You don't cover the space behind them. Why is it now fashionable to single out Arteta? He's doing as well as anyone else. He's not Fabregas but he's effective in a different type of team to the one Cesc used to drive. Who do you want? Diaby? Denilson back?

[Syn]

You're blind or unable to separate performance from result. Fulham are not pointlessly passing the ball IN MIDFIELD...they're doing it in defence. The 'dirty work' is not a problem and we're able to wrestle posession - and Arteta has been good at doing that, even in this game - as soon as Fulham go forward. The problem is when we have the ball the runners aren't there. It's not a disastrous first half and had Ramsey tucked away that simple chance, we wouldn't even be talking about it.

I'm concerned we won't have the legs in the second half to push on like in previous games but your kneejerk reactions are ridiculous and childish. Think ffs.

[Xhaka Can’t]

The midfield is the main worry, but how often has Santos done something seriously idiotic in the last few weeks? Luckily, most of the time he's not been punished, but one of these days he's going to cost us.

If they want to paper over cracks with winning just about every patch, I'll provide the ladder.

[Niall_Quinn]

I've lost patience with Theo and want rid, but fairs fair, he has been good today - our best player in fact and had Ramsey not hit his pass into Upper Tier Row 27, we'd be pretty comfortable by now.

Theo could always pull something out of the bag, but I'd settle for less dramatics and more of the basics from him.

[Maestro]

He'll score. We're waiting for Song to go into beast mode too. Then we'll be sorted.

Oh he will for sure ....and mmm beastmode :cloud9: the spliff kicks in after 45

[Master Splinter]

Nah, Theo looks the busiest but the guy rarely has an end product. Fulham are pouring their focus into keeping RvP quiet so really speaking Arshavin and Theo should be taking advantage. Song might do his game by the scruff of the neck thing in the second half.

Theo has put in three excellent balls, which should have been finished.

He should have probably gone for it himself once, but to criticise him so far is silly.

[Master Splinter]

Santos' interceptions :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

From Anon, via text: "Time to get Benayoun on. Has the ability and energy to create chances."

Hi Syn :wave:.

[Maestro]

We've picked up the tempo a bit but really need to push on

[Niall_Quinn]

Arshavin is an unbelievably lazy bastard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin whacks Ramsey in the face with the ball. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baird clears off the line from RVP!

[Niall_Quinn]

Great play RvP, Fulham dodge it again.

[Maestro]

almost in

[Marc Overmars]

Probably could with Yossi tbh. He barely plays and deserves a chance, he's a trier. Bound to be fresher than what's out there at the moment.

Come on Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're tired, they're starting to look fresher than us.

[Master Splinter]

Time for Gervinho and Benyanoon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1, Vermaelen OG.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fantastic. What a fuck up.

[Marc Overmars]

Oh fuck.

[Master Splinter]

:doh:

[Maestro]

Bang, that's what we get.

Rolling a fat one now, cannot afford to get upset ...anaesthetics please

[Niall_Quinn]

4th OG of the season. We're beating ourselves again.

We should have picked up the tempo but we're let Fulham relax. Stupid.

[GP]

Question for Syn

If I had Vermaelen as FGS, does that pay out? :unsure:

[fakeyank]

4th plc :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mertesacker off, Diaby on, Ramsey off, Gervinho on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Diaby and Gervinho on, Ramsey and Merts, Song to CB. Which means we are now totally reliant on Diaby putting in a performance or else this is a home loss. Bit of a coin toss from Wenger.

[Arsenal Royal]

someone's got to motivate our players and get ramsey and arshavin out!

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh God - Diaby is back. What a fucking waste. He needs to keep it simple.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great pass back to Schwarzer by Arshavin to relieve the pressure. Best thing he's done all match.

[Maestro]

come on lads give us something here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come On Arsenal

[Marc Overmars]

We aren't going to win every game obviously, but it is very frustrating to drop points in bread and butter games like this.

Still time though, COME ON ARSENAL.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean making up the rules again, as with the RvP penalty.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chamakh getting ready - for some reason Wenger is throwing the game.

[Maestro]

Chamakh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schwarzer save from Djourou.

[Niall_Quinn]

Game of His Life™ moment from Schwartzer, just need the Wundergoal™ and that'll be that.

[Maestro]

We aren't going to win every game obviously, but it is very frustrating to drop points in bread and butter games like this.

Still time though, COME ON ARSENAL.

:good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin off, Chakma on.

[Arsenal Royal]

Chamakh praying....not sure if it's going to help :sarcy:

[Niall_Quinn]

Chamakh for Arshavin - maybe going down to 10 will lull them into easing up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Senderos booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Close RvP, unlucky.

Waddle is getting all excited now, thinking the team not called Arsenal might win.

[Master Splinter]

Another Dean game in which we lose?

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean lets Senderos away with a clear foul because he doesn't want to send him off. Mike Dean's rules again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott is such a fucking mong. Hasn't he ever heard of left and right? He just runs straight into his man.

[fakeyank]

Andy johson to score

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP shoots, over.

[Master Splinter]

RVP :doh:.

[Niall_Quinn]

RvP blows the finish after good play. Gervinho is making the difference. Nothing from that shit Chamakh - obviously.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VERMAELEN!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Vermaelen!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

TV scores!

1-1.

[Marc Overmars]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

[Niall_Quinn]

Andy johson to score

Turns out it was TV who scored. 1-1

[fakeyank]

i just creamed my pants

[Maestro]

2nd goal for the Verminator

Fantastic cross from Theo, he's had a decent game today

[hymppi]

great fucking header!!! verminator!!!

now diaby for the winner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean is 100% with Fulham now.

[Arsenal Royal]

Vermaelen will never get that close to a hattrick again ;)

[Marc Overmars]

Come on lads, just one more!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If only Gervinho could finish.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn, Gerv does 99% of the job then blows it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott is just shit, isn't he?

[Maestro]

Gervs revved up..

[Master Splinter]

RVP is a bit shit.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Arshavin to start.

Better than Gervinho by quite some distance

Another shocker from Ach

[KSE Comedy Club]

Whats with all the weak shots?

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible play from Walcott again or RvP would have been in. He's so careless.

[hymppi]

handball!

[Niall_Quinn]

Handball to stop a goal. Dean's a cheat.

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott is killings us - get everything to Gerv.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Never getting anything off Dean

[Niall_Quinn]

Diaby thinks there's an hour left, all the time in teh world.

[GP]

Jesus christ, why does Diaby hold on to the ball so long. Fucking mong.

[hymppi]

c'mon lads, one more!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

1 decent corner please.

4 mins time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Johnson dives - Deans plays along.

[hymppi]

johnson you weak pussy.

[Arsenal Royal]

time is running out...I'm gonna die!! COYG!

[KSE Comedy Club]

johnson you weak pussy.
You mean Dean you cheating cunt!

[Niall_Quinn]

Great play down the line by RvP and Chamakh.

[Maestro]

COME ON ARSENAL !!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

RvP header, saved. Arteta's corners have been bad.

[Niall_Quinn]

1 min to go. We need Steve McMahon on to taunt us.

[hymppi]

well. TV5 scored twice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. Better than a defeat but a bit shit really.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Djouru good game today

[Master Splinter]

Dean blows two minutes early.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 FT 2 points tossed down the shitter. Dean is, of course, a total, utter, cunt.

[Marc Overmars]

Damn.

[fakeyank]

:(

[Arsenal Royal]

1-1 FT. shocking!

[Japan Shaking All Over]

well. TV5 scored twice.

Who's got him in their fantasy team? WUM

[Niall_Quinn]

5 points behind the whore's discharge and we've played a game more.

Me .

Disappointing performance - we really need someone up front other than Van Persie to produce the goods. It would also be nice if we got something offensively from the MF.

we deffo need to buy in Jan tbh

[gunsofashburtongrove]

That's a match we should have won. The team and Wenger looks like they had an eye on the shitty match. Don't even want to imagine what would happen in December and Jan with Gervinho and Chamakh off

Must address the problem in midfield. Either Ramsey or Arteta (or both) must make way for better playmaker. Today, it got worst when Arshavin refused to stay wide, making it so easier for Fulham defenders. We are right now in a similar position as Manu, lack creativity in midfield but with two explosive wide forwards. Any injury to one of our front three, we'll be fuked. :coffee:

mentioned this earlier, team looked a lot more tired today as well.

rest the whole first 11 for the League Cup game against City.

milla again with a similar outlook on this. we are not getting enough from Arteta and Ramsey imo. We already don't have enough goals coming from Gervinho & Theo, so we really need them to chip in, me thinks

Yeah. While naturally disappointed, I can't be angry about this, the team have been working hard for weeks. This has been reflected in Wenger having to play Arshavin when really, I bet he'd prefer not to.

Yes, Ramsey in particular looked jaded, Arteta the only one who could muster up fraction of his energy. Think we'll have a completely different midfield against city. Theo and RVP will not figure at all

[GP]

Dean blows

He certainly does.

On the plus side, I had a fiver on Vermaelen as FGS at 20/1

Cheers, Syn :tiphat:

[Cripps_orig]

Arshavin in for Gervinho

Everything else the same

I was supposed to go to this

Fucking work :(

Work :bow:

[Syn]

£100, eh?

Well done.

RVP didn't score so I lost a tenner on Arteta. I don't know what to believe in any more.
