Arsenal v Man City Sunday 13th January 4pm Sky Sports

[Dennis Bendtner]

Diaby sends one to Abu Dhabi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair clears off the line!

[Master Splinter]

Diaby is playing well. Considering the circumstances of the match and his own condition.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wheelchair clears off the line!

A rare defensive lapse.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's men vs girls out there. A right roasting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bring Giroud on, lumping it up field is about the only thing we can profit from really.

Vermaelen booked. Stupid.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Verm takes out Jecko

Yellow carded for his efforts

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo Walcott has been a joke in this half. He's offered fuck all and isn't worth £9 a week. Fucking brain dead player.

[Özim]

This is like a Sunday league game.

We'll be asking the Man City players for autographs at the end.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Booooo - urns!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT. Citeh fans that rejected those tickets will be asking for them back.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean very one sided, no surprise. But we do it to ourselves. Kos shameful. Sagna woeful. Walcott disgraceful.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Theo Walcott has been a joke in this half. He's offered fuck all and isn't worth £9 a week. Fucking brain dead player.

Won't be our problem for long.

[Özim]

I think we showed great spirit and togetherness. People want us to win all the time, but winning isn't always the answer.

[Master Splinter]

YELLOW CARD
Laurent Koscielny goes into the book for a late challenge on Edin Dzeko. There was no need to make such a tackle on the halfway line. Now he's going to spend 45 minutes stuck on a yellow card.

BBC :haha:.

[Globalgunner]

Time for Wengers boys to show their "Spiwit and Mental stwenth"

[Niall_Quinn]

Won't be our problem for long.

Should have left Ox on and told him to forget everything he has learned at Arsenal and just go for it.

[Niall_Quinn]

BBC :haha:.

Sad stuff. Are they the same guys who inform the public on politics, the economy etc?

[Özim]

BBC :haha:.
Is Graham poll refereeing again?

[Dennis Bendtner]

Action Man will be doing more of his Hollywood sprints upfield to try and make up the man deficit. Should be good. :popcorn:

[Özim]

I remember Mexico going down to 10 in the world cup once and the manager brought on a extra striker to push the opposition back.


We're 2-0 down, we may as well bring another forward on and have a go, you don't get any points for spirit and togetherness.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

For the next 45 minutes, I'll follow this thread for updates. I honestly can not bear watching another minute of our shitness.

[leaf]

erm play 2 up front i think he would prefer to lose

[Niall_Quinn]

Replays confirm it was never a FK for their second. Unless you want to start blowing the whistle every 15 seconds.

[LDG]

Got no complaints.

Other than that we started slowly and paid for it.

Defended poorly, and certain players are just not working hard enough.

[Özim]

The free kick was 100% a free kick, just seen it again and Podolski caught him and it got pulled back as the advantage didn't pay off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dreadful by ches for the second.

[Özim]

Got no complaints.

Other than that we started slowly and paid for it.

Defended poorly, and certain players are just not working hard enough.
Hows your boy doing? :run:

[Özim]

erm play 2 up front i think he would prefer to lose
:lol: Fair point

[Niall_Quinn]

The free kick was 100% a free kick, just seen it again and Podolski caught him and it got pulled back as the advantage didn't pay off.

An, no way. If you take all contact out of the game what are you left with? Fagball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need our best dives to salvage anything from this one. Santi, you're up.

[Özim]

An, no way. If you take all contact out of the game what are you left with? Fagball.
If you catch a player it's a free kick at the end of the day and every replay I saw suggests Podolski infringed.

Not a bad one, but a free kick nonetheless. Anyhow that didn't cause the goal, the lack of marking did.

[Özim]

We need our best dives to salvage anything from this one. Santi, you're up.
Can we call Reyes back as well to help him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can we call Reyes back as well to help him?

We could do with him rolling on to the pitch every time Citeh attack.

[Master Splinter]

This is essentially the same situation as when we mauled Citeh 0-3 a few years ago.

The match is over after a man is sent off in the opening minutes. Nothing worthwhile to take out of the game.

[gunnerrrrr]

Kos has been beyond dire each time he has played this season.
Mertasacker IMO has been our best defender.

So Wenger decides to bench our best defender against the league champions.......

Keeps going back to our manager and the fact that he simply does not no what he is doing anymore.

Shocking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let's face it, we've been Alan Parry'd. Again.

[fakeyank]

If you catch a player it's a free kick at the end of the day and every replay I saw suggests Podolski infringed.

Not a bad one, but a free kick nonetheless. Anyhow that didn't cause the goal, the lack of marking did.

Come on mate.. dont let common sense get the better of you!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Dean didn't make decisions ten seconds after the incidents have happpened it wouldn't be so annoying.

[Niall_Quinn]

Better already by theo, you got to grab the game if you want 90k and the main role, sonny. Lets see what you've got.

[Özim]

This is essentially the same situation as when we mauled Citeh 0-3 a few years ago.

The match is over after a man is sent off in the opening minutes. Nothing worthwhile to take out of the game.
Surely there's spirit and togetherness?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FFS. Stay onside Pippo!

[Özim]

Walcott offside, Cazorla's first decent pass today.

[Niall_Quinn]

Get angry Walcott, don't bottle it up. We need to needle these Astarte out of their stride. Foul, dive, break the game up. Don't listen to Wenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Half-hearted boos for Clichy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko makes a telling clearance. :lol:

Us. :lol:

Backs to the wall time for the whole game.

[Niall_Quinn]

Miles offside. How an the two in the middle not be interfering? Fucking loony rules.

[Özim]

I reckon AW gave them a "chocolat chaud" and a couple of "Langue de chats" at half time as a reward for their effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair gives David Silva a good kicking.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off dean. Every touch by us is being blown up. How can you get back in a game if you aren't allowed to compete?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off again dean. How was that not a booking?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody hell Cazorla. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

No Santi. Not good enough.

[Özim]

Marginally better in the 2nd half from us so far.

[Niall_Quinn]

Punt it to Walcott.

[Master Splinter]

This new guy on live text is somehow dimmer than Dawkes.

Alan Parry is also thick as fuck.

Thicko domination :bow:.

[Niall_Quinn]

400 fouls by Dzeko now but no card.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Wilshere's attitude is great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er, what the hell Gibbs?

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus fucking wept, Diaby!

[Özim]

Gibbs tries to be Pele.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna = thick ****

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna has morphed in to Diaby apparently.

[Master Splinter]

As if to gloriously prove my point:


James Milner has been magnificent for City today. His performance has been so good, the Blues are not missing Yaya Toure. Surely he is a contender for Garth Crooks's team of the Week?

Marc Higginson will probably be the next director general.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner booked.

Wind him up!

[Niall_Quinn]

Jack buys the foul. It's like the yellow has to be dubious before dean will give it.

[Özim]

Wilshere fouled, Milner yellow card.

[Niall_Quinn]

Milner booked.

Wind him up!

This is what we lack, the ring craft to unsettle the other team.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Sagna off, Jenk on. Podolski, off, Giroud on. 4-3-2 with wing-backs. Do it WUMger.

[Özim]

Aguero makes a such a difference to City, they don't look as energetic without him, he seems to make things happen for them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi off, Giroud on.

HOOF!

[Özim]

Striker on striker off....Giroud on for Podolski.

Why not keep them both on, we're 2 down?

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud on for pods. Hope Wenger realises we'll need to revise tactics to make that sub work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sznanany's feet. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Podolski off. Ok i get it, musnt do anything to upsett Wally now. FFS!!

[Niall_Quinn]

That's enough now with Ches. we need a proper keeper.

[Master Splinter]

Why are Theo and Cazorla still on the pitch? They've been dreadful. Wenget is Theo's bitch now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko doesn't get booked for doing what Milner did. Weird.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Put your arms down! Get fucked Jasper Carrott.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dzeko has obviously paid dean.

[leaf]

erm same answer as before
Striker on striker off....Giroud on for Podolski.

Why not keep them both on, we're 2 down?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Definitely Bad Diaby today. Giving it away whenever he can.

Diaby off, Ramsey on to save us.

[fakeyank]

We are down to 9 men now.. Ramsey on

[gunnerrrrr]

And just when things couldn't get any worse....Ramsey

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey, our own version of Barry, coming on for Diabolical.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let's not go for Hollywood passes.

[Globalgunner]

Its all over now Ramsey is on. The game neuterer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sexy football.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna a total liability.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair booked. Not Theo like Sky said.

[Özim]

erm same answer as before
:lol: I was hoping someone else my have an alternative view.

Obviously not :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man defending from Vermaelen.

[Özim]

Dzeko with a shocking effort at the pass, had he got it it would have been 3.

[Master Splinter]

If Jekko wasn't so poor, it would be at least 0-5.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean corrupt. Obvious statement for the day.

[Özim]

Foul on Walcott.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla hits it but over.

[Niall_Quinn]

No Santi, not good enough.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Steve Bould wearing a hat, what a pussy.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nice passage of back passing there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Sajma.

[Globalgunner]

I used to think cazorla was an exceptional player. Standard Arsenal fare more like

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna does the Kos!

[Niall_Quinn]

Well done Sajma.

He had to make that because he'd left his man.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Giroud doing a Lehmann.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sagna does the Kos!


Nah, he didn't do the blow job bit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Sznanany. :bow:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Amazing! :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Well done ches.

[Boss]

Chesney is class.

[Master Splinter]

Tevez :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He had to make that because he'd left his man.

Yeah well he could've headed it in like Walters.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mancini having a tantrum because he knows this is the least impressive big money team ever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clichy booked. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean booking Clichy. Must think he still plays for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible miss by Giroud.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Christ what a chance. We won't have a free man too often.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud :doh:.

[Boss]

Giroud should have scored.

[Niall_Quinn]

Famous last words but... Ramsey playing well.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Kompany off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany sent off! :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Kompany red. Lets win this. Come on you fuckers.

[Boss]

Kompany sent off!

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol, never a red but well take it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany leads with two feet so many times, horrible technique for a defender.

[Özim]

Kompany off

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean is a joke ref, Sagna booked.

[Globalgunner]

Mike Dean is either corrupt or highly incompetent. I suspect the latter

[Boss]

Wheelchair off :doh:

:pal: :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean is a joke ref, Sagna booked.

Not Sagna, it was Garcia. Dean having a decent game.

[Master Splinter]

Citeh have been terrible.

If Koscielny had a brain, this was an easy 6-0 win.

3-2 will have to do though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tevez off, Lescott on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Scarface off. He was shit today.

[Özim]

:pal: :pal:
:lol: I just made some toast, came back and someone had been sent off...they had the camera on Wilshere so I thought it was him....my bad.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean has killed this game.

[Boss]

Need some luck here.

A dodgy pel would be nice.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Kompany liquidated.

[Özim]

Citeh have been terrible.

If Koscielny had a brain, this was an easy 6-0 win.

3-2 will have to do though.

City - Aguero = Not that good
City + Aguero = Awesome

[Niall_Quinn]

Handball

[Newguy]

Theo needs to move out wide....Sagna needs to come off

[Master Splinter]

Sagna FFS.

Every cross that he hits straight into an opposition player's stomach makes me cry.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo needs to move out wide....Sagna needs to come off


We'd be down to 8 if that happened because we've already made 3 subs and theo would join city if he was moved wide.

[Özim]

Sagna FFS.

Every cross that he hits straight into an opposition player's stomach makes me cry.
Maybe he's trying to knock them out?

[Master Splinter]

City - Aguero = Not that good
City + Aguero = Awesome

Yes, we get the message.

GP's not here to play opposites today though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not good enough Gibbs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off Sagna!

[Özim]

Yes, we get the message.

GP's not here to play opposites today though.
Just checkin :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Dzeko should have been sent off by now.

[Dennis Bendtner]

This has been one incredibly petulant game.

[Özim]

I reckon Wenger will be happy with today, the 2nd half will make him very happy and he'll think we've been a bit unlucky.

[Master Splinter]

Sagna :doh: :doh:.

Not one cross has got past a City player. It's beyond dismal.

Poor GHELkers on the bench.

[Niall_Quinn]

Handball, it wasn't but it should still have been given.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Lol. Crowd handball appeals can be hilarious.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is theo going to do anything today?

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean, cheat, cheat, cheat.

[Özim]

Handball, it wasn't but it should still have been given.
He might have an extra hand around his nutsack area so that he doesn't have to use one of his other hands to play with them?

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi you shit!

[Master Splinter]

Sagna completed a cross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Newguy]

Surely Jenkinson deserves the nod ahead of Sagna...Sagna's produced nothing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry booked. :lol:

[Özim]

We're huffing and puffing but creating nothing really.

[Boss]

Blondotelli coming on.

[Özim]

Chelsea next weekend.

Sh*t.

[Niall_Quinn]

Woo hoo, we're losing live on Sky next week too!

Balo****face coming on. Bet he gets sent off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart takes out his own player. :haha:

[Boss]

Citeh wasting time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko off, Balotelli on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dzeko off. That a big effort for him today, 450 fouls.

[Master Splinter]

Dzeko MOTM??!!

:haha:

:haha:

Thicko domination :bow:.

[Özim]

Dzeko MOTM??!!

:haha:

:haha:

Thicko domination :bow:.
Should have been Koscielny tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lescott clears off the line to deny Theo!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Quality ball from Ramsey.

[Boss]

Cleared off the line from Theo's shot!

Good ball Jack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo :doh:

[Özim]

Lescott off the line from Walcott.

[Özim]

Wenger on camera with a face like a smacked arse.

[fakeyank]

Arsenal does not deserve Wilshere. He, along with the likes of Henry, RVP, Cesc deserve to be playing for a better team..

[Niall_Quinn]

Tame attempt by Giroud.

shitty waste of money city looking to kill time with another sub. They should ave embarrassed us today but they ended up embarrassing themselves. Shit bunch of mercenaries.

[leaf]

if mike dean had any decentcy he would send giroud off

[Master Splinter]

Barry :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lesson from today. Sell Walcott, get a proper striker. Sell Sagna, get a proper RB.

[fakeyank]

Wenger on camera with a face like a smacked arse.

A smacked arse will look like smacked arse!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT.

[Özim]

Beaten again, way too easy.

[fakeyank]

Lesson from today. Kick Wenger out, get a proper manager in

:gp:

[Niall_Quinn]

Kos has cost us the points. Two mediocre teams but our ten were better than their eleven. Dean horrendous.

[Niall_Quinn]

6 points behind the spuds with the chavs to come. FFS.

[Özim]

6 points behind the spuds with the chavs to come. FFS.
We're in real trouble to be honest, I reckon we'll lose next week and if the Spuds don't it won't be looking good.

[leaf]

i suppose if u look at the result it dont look bad a middle table team losing 2-0 to prem champions so that will in wengers favour

[Niall_Quinn]

We're in real trouble to be honest, I reckon we'll lose next week and if the Spuds don't it won't be looking good.

Hopefully they'll start doing that mind the gap thing again.

[Ralpheroo72]

:gp:


An entertaining 0-2
