Arsenal v Manchester United - Sunday 22 January - 16:00 GMT

[Niall_Quinn]

Good start but we're letting them into it now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HOOF!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Good start but we're letting them into it now.

so after all the time we have played them at home in the last 4 years we have learned nothing.

[Cripps_orig]

All Mancs

[Niall_Quinn]

so after all the time we have played them at home in the last 4 years we have learned nothing.

Duh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Giggs, although he was left in acres of space.

[Boss]

Our aerial defending is awful

[Niall_Quinn]

Awful by Giggs. He was in acres.

[Cripps_orig]

SirChesney saves from Giggs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo. :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Walcott is awful.

[Boss]

Very poor from Theo

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo needs to learn how to pass.

[Master Splinter]

Ju on for Theo please.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Theo :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Oxocube, Theo clears for Man Utd.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ju on for Theo please.

Ox is a monster. Theo is utter shit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Walcott is still awful.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo shoots wide

Difficult chance

Ox did well

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Theo needs to learn how to pass.

your being nice

[Boss]

Great stuff from Chamberlain

Shocking again from Theo :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Ramsey

[Japan Shaking All Over]

And the comtrast between the two was just put in display

[Cripps_orig]

Oh fuck off Ramsey

A Baleesque goal from Verm was on there had he played the ball

[fakeyank]

Wally :doh:

[Newguy]

Ramsey once again caught in possession:censored:

[Niall_Quinn]

your being nice

By pass I mean die

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck. :lol:

[Boss]

Good defending by Koscielny at the end

[Niall_Quinn]

Wellbeck :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Kos lucky there

[Newguy]

Ox is gonna take Theo's spot

[Niall_Quinn]

Do Song and Ramsey know the game has started?

[Syn]

There's a lot of bad body language. Everyone's blaming everyone else. Ramsey and Theo are the main culprits atm.

[WengerISaLizard]

Ox is gonna take Theo's spot

his playing like he knows this too

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shit touch from Ramsey.

RVP False 9. :bow:

[Boss]

ffs Ramsey

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey is awful

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Poor by Ramsey. Again.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

expecting a big game from Ramsey

:pal:

:haha:

[Globalgunner]

A post office letterbox planted in one spot plays better footie than Walcott

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1999 flashbacks there. :(

[Cripps_orig]

Vermaelen wins the ball

Free kick given

[Olivier's xmas twist]

dean being a twit again

[Xhaka Can’t]

Giggs shows Ramsey how to play football,

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off Dean you cunt.

So it starts.

[Newguy]

Ramsey is killing me right now, the kid needs some time out, problem is who'd come on for him?

[Boss]

Not sure sure how a 38 year old Giggs manages to be faster than Ramsey

[Cripps_orig]

Manc goal is due

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure sure how a 38 year old Giggs manages to be faster than Ramsey

Yoga.

[Niall_Quinn]

As always, we just need a bit more quality in several key positions. We are so wasteful.

[Newguy]

:pal:

:haha::crying:

What was I thinking?????

[Niall_Quinn]

Manc goal is due

Shut up already

[Cripps_orig]

Mert has done well

Ox lost his player there

[Syn]

We're second in almost every header. FFS.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our defending is poor. We are fortunate to be 0-0

[Boss]

We're getting dominated atm

Mertesacker has been very good so far. Him or Chamberlain our best player of the FH.

[Cripps_orig]

Shut up alreadyApologies

I should be positive like you

Hope Theo dies. Ox is the best player ever seen. RVP didnt run away from goal when Theo got in to the box. Its all Theos fault

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :doh:

Wonderful counter-attack though. :unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

Just awful from Rosicky. He killed that from the moment he touched the ball.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Our defending is poor. We are fortunate to be 0-0

Samba is a must get tbh, feck id take scott dann.

[Boss]

Djourou almost gives away a pel there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sznanahey saves from Nani. Slack defending.

[Cripps_orig]

Chesney saves one

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nice save - but the pressure is relentless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giggs relieves the pressure. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ches does well, down at his near post.

[Boss]

We can't keep the ball atm.. need to stop this hoofball nonsense

[Globalgunner]

Not sure sure how a 38 year old Giggs manages to be faster than Ramsey

All the ladies can testify to Giggs energy levels

[Niall_Quinn]

Creating our own problems, very careless on the ball. Very slow to make decisions.

[Cripps_orig]

Oh ffs

We had a chance to counter yet we are so slow

Just fuck off Wengeritis

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our midfield is offering nothing.

Non existent when United attack and slow and laborious when we have a break.

[Cripps_orig]

Theres the traditional Rooney dive

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney demanding a pelanty. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Diving cunt Rooney gets his first major effort in.

[Boss]

Rooney wants a pel but can't get the assist from the ref

[Xhaka Can’t]

Shit referring by Dean - Rooney dived so where is the fucking pel?

[Cripps_orig]

We shot from 30 odd yards out :yikes:

Fine coming up for that player

[WengerISaLizard]

rooney bellyflops for a penalty yet again

[Xhaka Can’t]

All the ladies can testify to Giggs energy levels

And how quick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cunt cheats on live Tv (ooh what about the kids watching) and the cunty commentator says he should get credit for not having been booked this year?

[Boss]

Finally some pacy counter attacking

Good defending by Verm

[Niall_Quinn]

Rooney is such a cunt, it's unbelievable.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Walcott still awful.

[Boss]

Djourou :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Rooney, biggest cunt in football.

Nani fluffs it.

[Cripps_orig]

Nani is killing Djo

[WengerISaLizard]

sol campbell will smile about that one, rooney is a scumbag

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That really is terrible from Nani. Well, moreso from Djourou.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Johan you showering peiece of shite.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Djorou - I'd facepalm, but it is all I expect from him.

[Newguy]

Djourou:pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

Cunt Rooney has dived again.

[Cripps_orig]

Forearm smash on Rooney by Song

[Xhaka Can’t]

Next time he dives in the box will be a pel.

[Boss]

Ramsey :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey booked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey booked. :rolleyes:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Song :bow:

Ramsey fuck off you twat

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey booked whereas that cheating cunt Rooney is let off for that blatant dive.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ramsey being pwnd to an embarrassing degree by Giggs.

[fakeyank]

Our midfield 3 is terrible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky with another horrendous shot. Oxocube is great.

[Cripps_orig]

Rosicky shoots wide

Ox did well again

Rafael booked

[Xhaka Can’t]

Rosicky *groan*

[Boss]

Good stuff Chamberlain again :bow: :bow:

Rafael booked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rafael booked.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Rosicky :pal:

OX :bow: Theo should be sold this kid has shown him up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Blatant cheating by Rachael. Kos got sent off in a position like that.

[WengerISaLizard]

Our midfield 3 is terrible

not putting in any kind of shift at all this half, 2nd half cant come soon enough

[Cripps_orig]

Kos and Ches :doh:

So fortunate Welbeck was offside

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Our midfield 3 is terrible

What else is new

[Maestro]

Oxtail is a much better player than Theo ....the only thing to come out of this half tbh

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Kos and Ches :doh:

So fortunate Welbeck was offside

You have thought they learned from the cc final right

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani fooling most of our defence. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Djourou is awful.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Oxtail is a much better player than Theo ....the only rhing to come out of this half tbh

To state otherwise would be idiotic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Man Utd, Valencia.

[Boss]

1-0 :rolleyes:

[Globalgunner]

Next time he dives in the box will be a pel.

Lucky it wasnt Phil Dowd on patrol here, we`d be 2 down already

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 Mancs

Valencia

As easy as it gets

[Niall_Quinn]

That's all Djourou, total shit defender. Free cross. Put Miquel on.

Djourou you CUNT

[Olivier's xmas twist]

They deserve it tbh, we have not done anything in this half, like last week.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It was asking too much to luck it out til HT

[Maestro]

To state otherwise would be idiotic.

based on that, there is definately an idiot or two about

[Aida]

we need a right back because all the dangerous attacks are coming from the rb

[Niall_Quinn]

They deserve it tbh, we have not done anything in this half, like last week.

Replace cunts like Walcott and Djourou and this team is transformed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT. We're just not very good really.

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 HT

Boos ring out and rightly so

Awful

[fakeyank]

DJ is horrendous at RB

[Xhaka Can’t]

How much more of this do we have to put up with?

We offered nothing.

[Thierrymon]

Djourou is obviously being targetted. Tbf he is a centre back, doesnt stop him being shit though.

Why are we always so shit against ManU?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

OX has been the only good thing about this half the rest have been piss poor.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

DJ is horrendous at RB

He's Horrendous anywhere

[Cripps_orig]

Djourou is obviously being targetted. Tbf he is a centre back, doesnt stop him being shit though.

Why are we always so shit against ManU?Wenger

[KESSLER]

Ramsey, Walcott, Djourou .... fucking awful

[Maestro]

switching off this shit tbh, too much pain.... back to FM .....at least I can beat the Mancs in the game

[alexander]

Djourou is obviously being targetted. Tbf he is a centre back, doesnt stop him being shit though.

Why are we always so shit against ManU?

most teams now tbh

[Niall_Quinn]

Ht, fucking freebie goal. No way can Djourou be left on. We're wide open down that flank.

Theo shit as always.

RvP anonymous, just nothing going in to him.

Rosicky, Ramsey and Song really poor.

Ox looks better than the lot of them and he's a kid (and on his way to City soon, no doubt)

Utd not even playing well.

[Marc Overmars]

Same old piss poor performance.

No imagination, no spark or creativity, just tentative rubbish.

Ox is the only one who looks like he might do something.

[Xhaka Can’t]

The current trend is for us to have an ok 1st half and then stink up the joint in the 2nd.

Yay.

[Niall_Quinn]

Djourou is obviously being targetted. Tbf he is a centre back, doesnt stop him being shit though.

Why are we always so shit against ManU?

He's a shit CB too, btw.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ht, fucking freebie goal. No way can Djourou be left on. We're wide open down that flank.

Theo shit as always.

RvP anonymous, just nothing going in to him.

Rosicky, Ramsey and Song really poor.

Ox looks better than the lot of them and he's a kid (and on his way to City soon, no doubt)

Utd not even playing well.

could not have said it better myself.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger

You saying Wenger instructed Djourou to leave his man in acres of space all the time?

[Aida]

its shocking that we are going to lose another game which makes 8 games this season already lost, shocking

[Power n Glory]

The flanks was the one place Man U could hurt us and they have focused on the weak link and executed. Djourou is garbage and having a nightmare. He can't cope and Walcott or the Ox will have to do more to cover that side.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Same old piss poor performance.

No imagination, no spark or creativity, just tentative rubbish.

Ox is the only one who looks like he might do something.


Diffrent game against the mancs same old shite big players still bottling it or not turning up.

[Globalgunner]

0-1 HT. We're just not very good really.

Wenger obviously thinks otherwise. Spirit. mental strength, determination. Its all there. How does any team overcome the deficits of Djorou walcott, Ramsey, Rosicky. Its like playing with 7 men.

[Dennis Bendtner]

I suspect we might put Benayoun on for Oxlade or something. Djourou is getting massacred. He's not good, but he's out of position and needs help. Pretty painful viewing all round.

[Boss]

Bring on Benayoun for Theo at HT and stick both of them at RB.

Might help.

[Xhaka Can’t]

What's the betting Oxo gets subbed before Theo?

[fakeyank]

You saying Wenger instructed Djourou to leave his man in acres of space all the time?

We dont know what Wenger told him but I blame Wenger for calling out Djourou when he read the starting team out.

I also blame him for naming shit kickers like Walcott, Ramsey, Rosicky

[Newguy]

The fact that Wenger feels that Djourou is a viable option at RB should be classed as gross negligence...this loser didnt even attempt to stop the cross.

[WengerISaLizard]

I'd rather have the young Spanish kid at rb

[Niall_Quinn]

The flanks was the one place Man U could hurt us and they have focused on the weak link and executed. Djourou is garbage and having a nightmare. He can't cope and Walcott or the Ox will have to do more to cover that side.

Ox and Walcott are not defenders. Yes they should provide cover and they have been doing that. But we also need an attacking threat and Walcott offers nothing. In fact it hurts us when he's on the pitch because everything he touches breks down. Why can a kid like Ox put in a decent performance on the by stage on his 3rd appearance yet Walnut can't do it after years? He's killing us.

[Mr. Lahey]

Djourou has been awful but hes not a rb. Theo is just as shit at tracking back. Both need to come off.

[WengerISaLizard]

What's the betting Oxo gets subbed before Theo?

i'll turn of the tv, if that happens

[Joker]

Oxlade looks a real talent, with much more composure on the ball than Walcott, who's been shite again (although the same can be said for the rest of the team except Chesney)

We look such a poor side these days, there's not spark or creativity whatsoever.

[Marc Overmars]

United's width is what has fucked us. Valencia and Nani are playing for fun out there.

In theory we should have the same theat with Ox and Theo - but there's only so much they can do when not a single ball has been spread over to them.

It's sad how one dimensional and limited we make ourselves at times.

[Niall_Quinn]

What's the betting Oxo gets subbed before Theo?

Inevitable.

[Joker]

Inevitable.

That would be annoying.

[Niall_Quinn]

That would be annoying.

It would because I can't afford a new TV right now.

[Joker]

It would because I can't afford a new TV right now.

:lol:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Agree with the comment about players' demeanour too. It's very negative. When Verm didn't get the ball from Ramsey I expected him to sprint back to plug the gap, but he went off on one. Really though, the basic thing is that they're crapping it in possession so it's just coming straight back at us.

[fakeyank]

United's width is what has fucked us. Valencia and Nani are playing for fun out there.

In theory we should have the same theat with Ox and Theo - but there's only so much they can do when not a single ball has been spread over to them.

It's sad how one dimensional and limited we make ourselves at times.

No worries mate, we still have togetherness, spirit and desire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djourou hauled off, Yennaris on.

[Newguy]

This Arsenal team has to be the worst for some time....Wenger is really going to leave a broken man...sad times ahead IMO. Before we could say that we were rebuilding, now I can truly say we're in for even tougher times

[Xhaka Can’t]

Come on Yennaris!

[Niall_Quinn]

If we could just stop giving the ball away, even when there's no pressure. It would make a huge difference. So fucking careless all over the pitch. Apart from Ox, his passing and control has been excellent. He showing up a lot of these high money wasters.

Just let's at least have fucking go please.

Yennaris on for Djourou

Djourou :rose:

At least Wenger hadn't waited until the 70th minute.

[Boss]

Good move by Wenger, bit too late...

[Dennis Bendtner]

Yennaris was alright in the Leeds game. At least he's a right-back. Baptism of fire, but good luck!

[Marc Overmars]

Next goal has to be ours, otherwise another rout is on the cards.

Come on Arsenal!

[Boss]

v Persie down... :unsure:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

RVP DOWN

[fakeyank]

RVP out for the season

[Aida]

The fact that Wenger feels that Djourou is a viable option at RB should be classed as gross negligence...this loser didnt even attempt to stop the cross.

agreed

[Niall_Quinn]

Yennaris does well there.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

RVP out for the season

would it be a suprise

[Boss]

Decent from Yennaris so far, two good bits of defending.

[fakeyank]

Yennaris was alright in the Leeds game. At least he's a right-back. Baptism of fire, but good luck!

We are the most Christian club in England.. we are never short of giving kids baptisms! No wonder Letters is an Arsenal fan..

[Maestro]

Djourou hauled off, Yennaris on.

..but AW why wait 4 years to admit what we all know, Djourou is shit at CB and even shitter at RB.?????

[Xhaka Can’t]

Walcott getting the ball is as good as giving it to the opposition.

[Boss]

Chamberlain starts the SH as he ended the first :bow:

[Gubby Allen]

Djorrou didn't even try to do anything with Giggs' cross, CB or not. Not a leg out, nothing, he's got his hands behind his back like he's about to Ski Jump.

Walcott tracking back to defend about as much as he did in the 8-2 up there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from RVP. No balls at all from Rosicky.

[Maestro]

agreed

doubly agreed

[Boss]

How did he miss :yikes:

Not going to be our day :(

[Master Splinter]

RVP :doh:.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Oh god. :(

[Niall_Quinn]

That's it lads.

Rosicky fucks it. Then RvP fucks it.

[fakeyank]

Joker just came

[Boss]

Poor from VP again.

Good run by Theo.

[Niall_Quinn]

Better from Theo. come on RvP shooting boots on mate!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

That's it lads.

Rosicky fucks it. Then RvP fucks it.

Turning into hleb that one

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't know what to say about that.

No balls from Rosicky and we need Van Persie to feed off anything he gets, rather than wasting golden opportunities like that.

[Cripps_orig]

RVP :doh:

[Aida]

they are just running through us

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean hasn't even had to cheat today.

[Thierrymon]

Gifted a chance to get back into it. Couldnt take it. We will pay for that.

[Master Splinter]

Vermaelen has been iffy too. He has been quite a lot this season, but because he's not a hate figure (yet), people don't want to point it out.

But then again, these players are fourth-choice full-backs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey puts one over. Playing much better now.

[Boss]

:yikes: Ramsey shoots just over

Playing much better though tbf

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ramsey come on.

Geez.

[Niall_Quinn]

Will we ever hit the target again? We should be winning this now.

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey skies his 675799757990th shot of the season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oxis awesome. No way are we keeping him.

[Aida]

ox is amazing talent way more complete then wallcot will ever be

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia. :wacko:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Valencia should have scored.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Vermaelen has been iffy too. He has been quite a lot this season, but because he's not a hate figure (yet), people don't want to point it out.But then again, these players are fourth-choice full-backs.

Too right.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ramsey come on.

Geez.

Thats what his missus says too during.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky somehow finds the only defender.

[Boss]

Another good chance blocked.

Need to score soon :pray:

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky should have had 2

[Boss]

Need to make this possession pay off cos you just know the first chance they get they will score.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Rosicky should have had 2

Balls?

[Niall_Quinn]

Two hundred million to one on shot conversions is always going to cost us.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Doing my head in. . .how is a guy meant to nod off during the game? I know give the ball to Theo

[Boss]

Ramsey :lol:

[Thierrymon]

At least we are making a game of it this half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort from Oxocube.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Unlucky Oxo.

[Boss]

Chamberlain just wide :yikes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Unlucky Ox, go for it Kos. Something decent at last.

[Master Splinter]

Oxface :bow:.

Has to be a regular now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube does the Woy face rub. :bow:

[fakeyank]

Oxo is a gem

[Dennis Bendtner]

Oxlade is going to be an excellent player. I don't think he's that much slower than Walcott either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mertesacker clears off the line!

[Boss]

Mertesacker :bow: :bow:

Chezza did well too

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts saved our arse there.

[Aida]

mr slow is a hero

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant from Mert

Great game from him

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo again. Fucking awful.

[WengerISaLizard]

Mertesacker giveth, Mertesacker taketh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey,fucking awful.

[Newguy]

LOL Ramsey is soo slow

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos yet again.

[Cripps_orig]

Chesney :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky a passenger now.

[Boss]

Chensey looks injured :unsure:

[Gubby Allen]

Two pretty shit midfields. No creativity anywhere.

[Niall_Quinn]

Almunia? Lol

[Boss]

Arshavin and Park coming on.

Oxo better be staying on...

[Xhaka Can’t]

Chesney :doh:

A post summing up what you know about football.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky must go off, he's dead.

[Cripps_orig]

A post summing up what you know about football.Ah STFU

[Master Splinter]

Rosicky, he's dead.

Still more useful than Walcott, tbf.
