Tottenham Hotspurs v Arsenal Sunday 3rd March 16:00 SS1

[Cripps_orig]

He's a good player, but not quite the star quality some make him out to be. It's when you're in trouble that the best players step up.

He's done nothing today and given the ball away a few times, has a tendency to overrun the ball to often IMO.doesnt see the pass quick enough.

Plenty of times he could have put Theo in but doesn't.

[Munchies]

We have 4 statues : Henry/Adams/Bergkamp/Merte

[Xhaka Can’t]

To be fair none of our attack has really stood out. Can't really pick on Ramsey, Theo or any of the other scapegoats today. In fact going in at half time at 0 - 0 would have been acceptable.

Problem as usual as it has been for most of Wenger's regime is the defence. Two simple, Fifa through balls, two goals.

A fair assessment.

Added to that, we could have 99% possession, but using it to that effect would still yeild us 0 goals.

[Marc Overmars]

Why does Wenget continue to troll us with Ramzi?

[Niall_Quinn]

He's a good player, but not quite the star quality some make him out to be. It's when you're in trouble that the best players step up.

He's done nothing today and given the ball away a few times, has a tendency to overrun the ball to often IMO.

Ramsey has far too much influence today, he's killing us and dragging everyone else down. We've owned these scum bastards but then handed it to them on a plate. Fucking typical.

[Özim]

Problem for him is that he's playing alongside substandard players. It's easier to shine when you have people like Cesc, RVP and Nasri alongside you.
I'm not sure that's an excuse to be honest, the top players still perform and don't give the ball away as much as he does even when playing with average players.

He's good and one of our best players certainly, but he's nowhere near as good as people think.

[RomfordPele]

Ramsey off, rosicky on. DO IT NOW WENGER.

Otherwise we'll be three down and with 10 men by the time your stupid fucking laptop pings for the standard 67th minute substitutions.

Fucking earn your seven million a year.

[Munchies]

Piers as an analyst:
http://www.epl424.org/channel-7.php

Speaking sense lol

[selassie]

Load of rubbish, shit tactics, shit team, washed up manager.

[Özim]

Ramsey has far too much influence today, he's killing us and dragging everyone else down. We've owned these scum bastards but then handed it to them on a plate. Fucking typical.
Ramsey isn't good enough, but with that in mind you expect our better players to step up, Cazorla has shown some flashes but he's the only one so far.

[fakeyank]

Sp*rs fans singing "Wenger, please stay at Arsenal" as per Piers.. :lol:

[Newguy]

we haven't played that badly to be fair, we're just a man down in my opinion... Theo isn't traking back and this tactic of allowing him to move from right wing to central striker whenever he please has cost us... for the first goal he's upfront but there's no one on the right allowing masses of space down their left which leads to Tottenham flying at our slow cb's and "defensive" midfielder...

[Niall_Quinn]

Just watching how bad vermaelen is on the replays. What a fuck up of a player. Our captain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just run at Vertonghen and hope he brings someone down.

[Marc Overmars]

The saddest thing is that we weren't even playing that badly, but once again the defence undoes everything. Not that it's a surprise to anyone, as its been happening for fucking years.

[Özim]

Just watching how bad vermaelen is on the replays. What a fuck up of a player. Our captain.
The defence is just plain awful, individual errors left right and center and noone covers for anyone...it's a disaster zone. The coaching must be spectacular.

[Özim]

To be honest I thought we'd get a draw but when I saw the team sheet I realised just how average the team is, there's so little quality.

[hobson's choice]

Vermaelen's awareness:sulk:, I remember many Ajax fans saying how, they couldn't believe Arsenal could pay that much for him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey isn't good enough, but with that in mind you expect our better players to step up, Cazorla has shown some flashes but he's the only one so far.

No, it's like the classic spanner in the engine. Throw a spanner like Ramsey in there and even a rolls Royce runs like shit. Gazidis will have to sell the **** at half time because Wenger won't sub him. Bet he takes Cazorla off instead.

[LDG]

We invited it on ourselves by making silly decisions when we had the ball.

Time and time again we win free kicks in their half, which should have been ised mich better. We conceded the advantage straight away by playing a square short pass into a congested area.

Problem with us, is that we're not clever enough to know when to stick and when to twist.

Get Rosicky on now.

[Cripps_orig]

Monreal let Lennon go and did not communicate with Vermaelen.

First impressions are not good.

Had that been Santos, he'd be vilified.

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey isn't good enough, but with that in mind you expect our better players to step up, Cazorla has shown some flashes but he's the only one so far.

I can't stand Ramsey but today he's done what's needed and asked of him. No mis-controls, has dwindled on the ball and no sloppy passing. It's all been quick movement, open when needed give and go play.

The defenders have fucked us over and Wenger needs to do something about Giroud and Walcott if we want a goal. Theo isn't doing shit and Giroud can't do shit even if he tries.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

The saddest thing is that we weren't even playing that badly, but once again the defence undoes everything. Not that it's a surprise to anyone, as its been happening for fucking years.

Exactly. Granted we weren't lighting the world up but we were pinging around reasonably and ready to pounce on any half chance to nick a goal and hopefully a narrow win. Thus I don't understand the Ramsey abuse, he really was no worse than anyone else in our forward lineup.


We might as well start every game with a two goal deficit from now on. Just score a couple of kick own goals at kick off. It seems that's the only way our team decides to come out of the blocks.


We may score 3 goals, but the problem is I can easily see them scoring more themselves.

[Niall_Quinn]

The saddest thing is that we weren't even playing that badly, but once again the defence undoes everything. Not that it's a surprise to anyone, as its been happening for fucking years.


It's not just the defence. It's Giroud failing to put us a goal ahed. It's theo refusing to run. It's Ramsey passing back when we have players committed. It's every sloppy pass or shit cross. Even good defences make mistakes, with ours the guys in front of them have to be doing it better. They aren't.

That said, how shit are the spuds. We butch slapped them the whole half and then even scored a couple for them. We could easily get a coup,e of goals next 45 minutes if we just stop fucking around.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What was that? :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

45 minutes left of our season.

And that's the good news

[Niall_Quinn]

No changes. Wenger is evidently okay with what just happened.

[Globalgunner]

Checked the Websters dictionary for the meaning of defending. It says "Something that Arsenal cannot do"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hollywood pass from Wheelchair.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Vermaelen's awareness:sulk:, I remember many Ajax fans saying how, they couldn't believe Arsenal could pay that much for him.

To be fair he does have the characteristics and some of the necessary traits to become a top defender. This was evidenced by his first season here.

At another team and manager that actually practices and prioritises defending he may actually be quite decent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sigurdsson. :haha:

Don't want to think about the space he was in though.

[Power n Glory]

How we signed Giroud with that touch?

[Özim]

When Bale got the ball you could see the fear in our players, he's got that top player aura.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hollywood pass from Wheelchair.

He was training Ramsey. The lesson today is forwards, backwards and the fundamental difference.

[fakeyank]

Why did we buy Podolski? Why is he benched right after he was having a good run of form? I just do not understand some of the shit thats going on at my club. FUCK THIS!

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott mops up another one of our attacks.

[Power n Glory]

Walcott you're shit mate! What the fuck was that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Wheelchair.

[Cripps_orig]

Ramsey did well there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MERTESACKER!!!!

[Cripps_orig]

MERTTTTTTT

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, Merts. What a fucking p,Ayer :bow:

[fakeyank]

PER!

[Power n Glory]

Come on Merts!!!! Let's do this!

5-2?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

COME ON YOU BEAUTY!


LETS FUCKING DO THIS!

[Master Splinter]

BFG!

Now get Podolski and Rosicky on you WUM.

[Munchies]

STATUE SCORES #!!!!

[Özim]

Mertersacker gets one back!!!

[Cripps_orig]

What a cross from Theo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Actually, Bale OG! :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bale strikes again. Awesome :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Yes, Merts. What a fucking p,Ayer :bow:

We need more p,Ayer.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Come on you Gunners :scarf:

[Munchies]

BALE :fingers:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort Monreal.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

All a result of hard work from Ramsey. So much for the hate for him this match.

[Niall_Quinn]

Spuds go straight to panic mode. There's nothing special about them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three goal a game average in this fixture kept up. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wakey wakey Giroud!

[Munchies]

Monreal's won every premierleague game with us

[Niall_Quinn]

All a result of hard work from Ramsey. So much for the hate for him this match.

The guys a shit player. And so is Giroud as we see. One decent moment doesn't make up for the rest of it.

[Cripps_orig]

Lloris fumbles

Giroud not there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo you douche.

Cazorla. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott :sulk:

[fakeyank]

FUCKED up touch by Feo

[Munchies]

shit first touch

[GP]

Santiago is awesome.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Theo thinks he's Messi

[Niall_Quinn]

P O D O L S K I FOR W A L C O T T
R O S I C K Y FOR R A M S E Y

DO IT NOW.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG and Szhanany. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great covering from Cazorla, Monreal wasn't sure what to do.

[Cripps_orig]

Great defending from Santi

[Munchies]

Rosicky is alot better than Ramsey

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenks lets it go out of play. Honestly.

[Munchies]

Girouds landed on his shoulder, might have to go off

[Master Splinter]

Rosicky coming on.

Three months late.

[Cripps_orig]

Rosicky is due

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here comes Rosicky.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rosicky coming on.

Wilshere or Cazorla off I assume.

[Munchies]

We also have The Ox and Gervinho (:ilt:) on the bench

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Bale misses a sitter

[Munchies]

JENKINSON for Rosicky???

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jenkinson off, Rosicky on.

:unsure:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Holy shit - what hideous defending - even for us.

[GP]

:lol:

That one landed on the planet of the apes.

[Özim]

Bale misses a sitter, thank f*ck.

[Cripps_orig]

Wengers trying something new

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Our defense is still so fragile.

[Power n Glory]

Death certificate just signed! What the hell is that?

[Niall_Quinn]

Bale proving a couple of flukes don't make a world eater. Jenks was shit there,he's off for Rosicky. Ramsey now playing full back? :doh:

[Munchies]

This sub could backfire, or it might be positive...

[Master Splinter]

Our best player off!

WUMger :bow:.

That was the only attack that had come down GHELkinson's side all game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

World eater. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

This could be a masterstroke or the worst decision ever.

[GP]

This sub could backfire, or it might be positive...

Thanks Jamie.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is there a law in the game that says Ramsey has to play?

[Niall_Quinn]

World eater. :bow:


He's no Arshavin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is there a law in the game that says Ramsey has to play?

Wenger hates famous people.

[Munchies]

Lloris only cost £10m, should have got him!

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud two classes inferior to the guys around him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck sake Theo.

[Power n Glory]

How the heck has Rosicky sat on the bench for so many games?

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott super striker with the header.

[Munchies]

Rosicky is making space for passes, good so far.

[fakeyank]

I just dont know how Rosicky is on the bench when fit! He is miles ahead of the shite we have and that says a lot because I dont really rate him!

[Cripps_orig]

Theo heads over

All us

Spuds will score a 3rd

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Will someone have a go from outside the box ffs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant defending by Vertonghen.

[Munchies]

Vertonghen good interception

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us out wide. :popcorn:

Fight fight fight!

[Niall_Quinn]

That's the end now for Walcott. Fuck off you useless ****. Podolski on please. Now.

[Globalgunner]

Rosicky on for Jenks. Ramshit to RB. Wenger tactics :Best a man can get

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kick him on the back Ches!

[GP]

Fuck off hypocrite ****s

[Niall_Quinn]

Spuds crying at the taste of their own medicine.

[Munchies]

Adebayor you mong

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Should be a yellow to Dawson for that shove.

[Niall_Quinn]

No card for Dawson?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ade hauled off, Defoe on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fuck of Adebayor. He was alright a minute ago and now suddenly he's calling for a strecher.


What a faker.

[Özim]

Bad news, Adebayor off Defoe on.

Shame, he was causing us no problems at all.

[GP]

Ade :wave:

Fuck off

[Niall_Quinn]

Glorious time wasting. Ref playing along.

[Maestro]

World eater. :bow:


:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair. :doh:

[fakeyank]

Agent Ade off :(

[Cripps_orig]

Get Theo on set pieces ffs

Wilshere is terrible.

[Maestro]

Bad news, Adebayor off Defoe on.

Shame, he was causing us no problems at all.

more pace for the scum, we need to buckle up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Winning many a freekick at the moment.

[Munchies]

FK in a similar position to our goal , opposite side

[Maestro]

come on arsenal

[Munchies]

Wasted FK

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sigurdsson. :haha:

Dear god what did he do?

[Cripps_orig]

Brilliant from Mert

[Munchies]

COYG , we can win this

[Niall_Quinn]

Siggurdson :haha: the new Walcott.

[fakeyank]

WTF kind of defending is that?!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Lucky, very lucky we were there.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Fucking Hell. Kamikaze defending.

[Munchies]

Was he trying to pass it haha

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think we found the flaw in having Ramsey at RB.

[Munchies]

We need to get the Ox on

[Cripps_orig]

Siggurdson :haha: the new Walcott.

He's been brilliant this season?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defoe scuffs one wide. Poor from Wilshere.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Spurs have had two glorious chances this half.


That's going to make our win even more sweeter.

Come on you twats.

[Globalgunner]

Vermaelen is as bad a defender as tgey come. All he does is escort players into his box

[Niall_Quinn]

I think we found the flaw in having Ramsey at RB.

Who could have known?

[Cripps_orig]

All Spuds

They are favourites for the next goal

[Maestro]

need podolski on the pitch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo, what a calamity.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's a basic shoot out now, our terrible defence depending on our forwards to overcome their defence and Walcott.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Our defending is terrible.

[Power n Glory]

Walcott has been shit!

[Munchies]

Our midfield is non-existant.

[Niall_Quinn]

need podolski on the pitch

Technical problems have prevented his arrival. IT engineers working on the substitution now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale catches it, Ches saves.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good pass back by bale

[Power n Glory]

Fuck off Giroud!

[Cripps_orig]

Walcott has been shit!

Pretty much.

[Özim]

We're getting caned.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Da fuqq!

What a frustrating bag of turds.

Absolutely clueless in that attacking 3rd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :haha:

[fakeyank]

RAMSEY U C*NT!

[Cripps_orig]

Ffs Ramsey.

[Power n Glory]

Good grief Wenger!!! What was wrong with Jenks?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey has been their best player.

[Munchies]

Man if we win this, those post match fan interviews will be good to watch...

15 mins left

[Niall_Quinn]

Good grief Wenger!!! What was wrong with Jenks?

He wasn't called Ramsey.

[Munchies]

Podolski gettin ready

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey has been their best player.

Wilshere has been better for them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BSP. :lol:

[Munchies]

Wilshere's been invisible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arteta off, Poldi on.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Podolski on for Arteta.

[Cripps_orig]

Arteta hauled off

Pod on

[Power n Glory]

What sort of suicide is this? Arteta off?

[Munchies]

Arteta off , Podolski on.

[Master Splinter]

Podolski playing in the holding position?

[Niall_Quinn]

Unreal, Podolski for Arteta. How fucked up is that?

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Fuck off ref.

[Globalgunner]

Wenger has made more than 30,000 substitutions in his time. Most of them shit

[Munchies]

How the f is that a foul...

[fakeyank]

Can we get Ox on for Ramsey?!

[Power n Glory]

The Spurs counter attack is on? Too many men will go forward.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger just had to replace Ramsey with Rosicky and Walcott with Podolski. Fucking simple. A child could manage the club better than this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well we can't take Ramsey off now he is RB.

Worth a try taking it early from Cazorla. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bad touch from Poldi, otherwise good move though.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Podolski with a shit touch there. Could have been a decent scoring opportunity.

[Munchies]

heavy touch..ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey shoots, deflects behind. What a chance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey clears it.

[Maestro]

up the pace and go direct

[Power n Glory]

You utter ****!!!

[Cripps_orig]

Oh dear god ramsey

[fakeyank]

Chance fell to the worst player in England

[Munchies]

FFS YOU ****

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud penalised for challenging the keeper.

in other news, RvP sold for footballing reasons.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

10 minutes to salvage a result.

Come on Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol, Merts leaves ches to do the job. Farcical.

[Newguy]

ramsey

[Master Splinter]

Only Reading have scored more goals in the last 10 minutes of Premier League games than Reading so far this season. They need another one here to level this up.


Reading :bow:.

BBC :haha:.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Pedestrian pace tiki taka :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Wilshere has been terrible

[Niall_Quinn]

Advantage played. No advantage. No yellow. Ref has been very poor. And very biased.

[Munchies]

Lose - 7points behind
Draw - 4

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey sends us into reverse again. He's fucking shit. Bring Denilson back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif goes for the spectacular.

[Cripps_orig]

Giroud clears one

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Wilshere has been terrible

Disappointingly so. Expected of Theo to be dire, but for Jack to be this anonymous is inexcusable.

[Power n Glory]

Fucking amateur! Giroud is just shit!

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif goes for the spectacular.

An ever willing donkey.

[Power n Glory]

Jack has been crap!

[Globalgunner]

Wilshere has been terrible
Whisper it. He might not be as good as we are led to believe

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele injures himself committing a foul.

[Munchies]

JW loses the ball

[Globalgunner]

Wilshere has been terrible
Whisper it. He might not be as good as we are led to believe

[gunnerrrrr]

I don't understand why we keep crossing to a sole striker against 4 spud dedenders

[Niall_Quinn]

More time wasting.

[gunnerrrrr]

Whisper it. He might not be as good as we are led to believe

Nah he's good but no Cesc

[Munchies]

Dembele... should have bought him

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Fucking scum bastards singing that shitte song ad nauseum.

[Niall_Quinn]

I don't understand why we keep crossing to a sole striker against 4 spud dedenders

Actually we have two up today. If you look carefully you'll see Walcott.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele off, Livermore on.

[Maestro]

come on arsenal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, quite far out.

[Cripps_orig]

Actually we have two up today. If you look carefully you'll see Walcott.

Loved the assist

[Munchies]

FK good position

[Niall_Quinn]

Nobody can be at the top of their game when Wenger fucks around like this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo curls it wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why didn't Podolski take that FFS?

[Power n Glory]

Good effort but well wide.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo just wide with the fk

[Munchies]

possibly 6 mins ET

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You absolute berks.

[Niall_Quinn]

6 mins. Come on you fuckers. Two goals,not one, required!

[Munchies]

Can't even hold possession, fucking knobs

[Munchies]

FFFFFFFS

Bayern in 10 days :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale you negative fucker.

[Munchies]

Bale you fucking monkey

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spud fans holding on to the ball.

[Niall_Quinn]

How about just a shot on goal then? Anything?

[Munchies]

David Dein :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Assou-Ekotto sends it out the ground!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi shot deflects over.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

David Dein must be cringing sitting there and witnessing the shower of shitte wearing our shirt.

[Niall_Quinn]

Corner. Certain goal.

[Munchies]

Conrner , 2 mins left

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why was Ches up with two minutes to go?

[Niall_Quinn]

Keep forgetting. Theo takes them.
