Stoke v Arsenal 26/8/2012

[Cripps_orig]

2nd half on

No changes

[GP]

Lets fuck these cunts!!!

[Özim]

Defensively we've been good, but let's be honest we've dominated possession meaning we've had little to defend as well.

Offensively it's been woeful however, there's no cutting edge and as much as the strikers work hard they don't look dangerous at all and are appearing on the wing and in midfield rather than up front. In addition we have played as such a slow place it's easy for the opposition to defend.

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho and Jenkinson :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sort it out Gerv/Jenkinson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not Hey Jude, FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho. :haha:

[Boss]

Chamberlain for Gervinho asap

[Master Splinter]

Gervinho :haha:.

[Cripps_orig]

Good play from Giroud

Gerv fucks up

[Dennis Bendtner]

Stoke's scouting network. Amazing how they seem to have signed the same player every transfer window.

[AKBapologist]

Take Gervinho off ffs. Shit on the right.

[Toronto Gooner]

Personally I would like to see another striker and a midfielder. Just to add some more competition.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch using his arms again, twat.

[Cripps_orig]

Crouch elbows Mert and then wonders why a free kick is given

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wouldn't have been a bad pass had anybody bothered to make a far post run.

[Cripps_orig]

We are woefully shit upfront

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Huge pelanty appeal from Stoke, nothing given. :lol:

Gibbs. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Gibbs didnt even do anything there

[Dennis Bendtner]

Pennant having a tantrum.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diaby crossing? :haha:

[Newguy]

How is Diaby so big, yet so fucking weak???

[GP]

Impressive dive from Pennant.

[fakeyank]

:yawn::sleep:

[Niall_Quinn]

Switched the second half on, watched, switched it off. Utter bollocks again I see. We already have the worst footballer in the history of the PL with Chamakh. Now it seems we have the most pointless in the form of the hopeless and hapless Gervinho. Going back to work now to recover from exposure to brain numbing Arsenal tippy, tappy, tedium.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mannone. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good attack.

[Cripps_orig]

Did well to get a corner there

[Dennis Bendtner]

Alan Parry doing his best to make Giroud sound like Djourou.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a ridiculous challenge by Wilkinson. Booked.

[Cripps_orig]

Wilkinson booked

FK in a dangerous position

[Dennis Bendtner]

Did they sign Wilkinson from the pub?

[fakeyank]

C'mon you dumb pieces of shit!

[Cripps_orig]

Hits the wall

Try getting it over the wall ffs instead of blasting it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pennant off, Jerome on.

[Toronto Gooner]

Another wasted free kick in a dangerous position.

[Cripps_orig]

Pennant hauled off

Jerome on

[Young Guns 11]

When are they going to start regulating the wall distance properly? Moved forward so much ffs

[Özim]

We look so ordinary, no flair, no ideas, no real intelligence...pretty disappointing.

[Cripps_orig]

We look so ordinary, no flair, no ideas, no real intelligence...pretty disappointing.

So normal Arsenal then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Gibbs.

[Özim]

So normal Arsenal then
Pretty much, guess Wenger hasn't changed after all.

[Cripps_orig]

Put Pod up alongside Giroud.

Bring on Ox and Theo on the wings and go 4-4-2 ffs

4-5-1 has been utter shite

[Cripps_orig]

Stoke look the more likely to score

[fakeyank]

Put Pod up alongside Giroud.

Bring on Ox and Theo on the wings and go 4-4-2 ffs

4-5-1 has been utter shite

:gp:

For AW, this is rocket science

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Parry. :haha:

Obviously deflected off an Arsenal man.

[Toronto Gooner]

When are they going to start regulating the wall distance properly? Moved forward so much ffs

They are "piloting" the use of a spray marker that fades after a short while. The referee paces out the distance and then sprays a line that the wall cannot move move forward of.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent effort rom Giroud, shame it was straight in to the ground. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

That was a decent chance there for Giroud

Unfortunately it needed a worldy and Giroud is anything but

[Cripps_orig]

Theo and Ox are coming on

No doubt it will be for Pod and someone and 4-5-1 stays :sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho off, Theo on.

Poldi off, Oxocube on.

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho hauled off

Pod off as well :rolleyes:

Just go Wenger

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not a great effort from Arteta, opened up too.

[Cripps_orig]

Decent chance for Arteta there as well

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diaby. :doh:

So hesitant all the time.

[Cripps_orig]

And yet another chance

Diaby :doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Diaby. :doh:

So hesitant all the time.

Pretty mcuh.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Yep, I called him taking pod off.

Just when you think he's getting his shit together wenger wums it up.

[Dennis Bendtner]

First touch today has not been great all round. The Spanish aside.

[Cripps_orig]

Crouch hauled off

Shotton on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crouch hauled off, Shotton on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yep, I called him taking pod off.

Just when you think he's getting his shit together wenger wums it up.

This. Oh and Diaby is shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big appeal for handball on Ghelkinson.

Stoke. :lol:

[KSE Comedy Club]

He should have taken Diaby off.

[Cripps_orig]

Palacios on

Whelan off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Whelan off, Palacios on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla off, Ramsey on.

:doh:

[Cripps_orig]

Cazorla off

WTF!!!!

Ramsey booed on

Stoke fans :doh:

[fakeyank]

Ramsey on

WUMger :bow:

[KSE Comedy Club]

Oh ffs.

Why bring Ramsey on.

[KSE Comedy Club]

So were down to relying on Oxo to salvage this game for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our fans counting how long it takes Begovic to hit it. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Another corner

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ramsey on

WUMger :bow:

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walters. :lol:

Ramsey nearly made it all go tits up.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey shoots well wide

[Power n Glory]

A really poor performance. Hardly worked their keeper.

[Cripps_orig]

Mert :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an effort from Giroud!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Wowza great effort. Squaring it was the better option though.

[GP]

Close!

[GP]

Wowza great effort. Squaring it was the better option though.

To Ramsey?

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Decent attempt Giroud

[Olivier's xmas twist]

To Ramsey?

:lol:

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[Cripps_orig]

3 mins added

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. Let the hand wringing begin.

Although I do miss celebrating a goal.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Quality is deffo needed in th next week.

[Cripps_orig]

We are terrible

[Letters]

We never looked like scoring

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We are terrible

Id have taken a draw there tbh, look at our sqaud.

[Young Guns 11]

Christ that was dull.

[Ralpheroo72]

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bring back John Jensen

[Toronto Gooner]

It was a good news/bad news game.

The defence was good but the attack needs work.

Giroud looks pretty good but he needs to score a goal to settle his "nerves".

[Özil's Panoramic View]

We need @ least another quality midfielder













Oh, and a manager.

[Young Guns 11]

They are "piloting" the use of a spray marker that fades after a short while. The referee paces out the distance and then sprays a line that the wall cannot move move forward of.

Good stuff, where'd you hear that? :good:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This. Also good to get Stoke away out the way also their fans are so scummy.
