[GP]

Even di canio has managed to out think the nutty professor.

How so?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson shoots, goes way wide.

[Master Splinter]

You give villagers some hope by not killing them off and this is what happens.

Theo needs to make up for his shocker by pubbing one in.

[Cripps_orig]

Koscielny needs to make up for this asap

[Thierrymon]

Borini coming on. Has he ever scored?

[Marc Overmars]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How couldn't anybody know the foul had already been given? :lol:

[Munchies]

:haha: WTF

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sajma booked.

[Özim]

Very lucky, should have been 2-2 Altidore scored.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

tussling instead of trying to win the ball.

[GP]

Altidore :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mavrias off, Borini on.

[Thierrymon]

Looked like altidore was holding sagna too. Weird.

[Munchies]

Haha you fuckers :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shite from Gardner.

[Marc Overmars]

Sounds like the ref did us a favour there. Phew.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

gardener clears one...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Mavrias off, Borini on.
Oooh now you're done for :sarcy:

[RomfordPele]

Wasn't a foul at all. Should have been a goal.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Gulp
dont do this to me guys

[GP]

Sounds like the ref did us a favour there. Phew.

Yeah but he fucked up the pel decision, so call it even.

[Transplanted Gooner]

Atkinson saved our arses

[Özil's Panoramic View]

whistle had long gone, so i don't get what folks are moaning on about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner plays it across goal. :lol:

Us. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Very reminiscent now of those pub games at the end of last season.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Rambo and Giro having good seasons so far

[Master Splinter]

whistle had long gone, so i don't get what folks are moaning on about.

Hard to disagree.

[Munchies]

Hopefully we win , and Di Canio goes mental at the refs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How isn't that a corner?! :haha:

[Transplanted Gooner]

I'll take that if we get the 3 points

[Master Splinter]

Very reminiscent now of those pub games at the end of last season.

Apart from the shitload of chances that we, well Theo, fucked up.

[Cripps_orig]

RAMSEYYYYY

[Munchies]

RAMOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GP]

Stunning!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Borini. :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Cant see the game.....how is Ozil playing.....so far David James has just said "tidy"

[Transplanted Gooner]

Does that put us top ?

[Cripps_orig]

Just heard on Final Score there's some technology controversy.

What happened?

[Master Splinter]

Giroud and Ramsey are little bit awlsome.

Ramsey showing Feo how to finish.

Ramsey hat-trick :pray:.

[JonasTC]

Ramsey <3

[LDG]

HulbertChumpmansZebra :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cant see the game.....how is Ozil playing.....so far David James has just said "tidy"

David James is an idiot. Better than tidy.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Stunning!

those little triangles are.

[GP]

Cant see the game.....how is Ozil playing.....so far David James has just said "tidy"

Stunning tbh.

He put 4 on a plate for Theo 1st half. He missed them all, of course...

[Marc Overmars]

Real Madrid. :lol:

You spent 100m on the wrong Welshman.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lee Dixon's Triangles. :bow:

[Munchies]

Does that put us top ?

Yes !!! (as it stands)

[Master Splinter]

Cant see the game.....how is Ozil playing.....so far David James has just said "tidy"

Ozil was superb in the first half. Set up the goal and layed on three more chances.

Been stifled, like the team, in the second half.

[JonasTC]

Di Canio going mental :D

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Ramsey is finally coming home.....cant wait to see this later....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner shoots, balloon deflection for a corner.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ozil. :cloud9:

off for Vermaelen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil off, Vermaelen on.

[GP]

Tommy V coming on.

Ozil :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Real Madrid. :lol:

You spent 100m on the wrong Welshman.

Don't worry, they'll be back in January with another we can't refuse if Ramsey keeps this up

[Master Splinter]

Shit. WUMger tactical sub.

[GP]

Ozil has been ill as well :lol:

Imagine when he's 100%

[JonasTC]

Verminator :bow:

Ozil :cloud9:

[Marc Overmars]

Özil. :cloud9:

Already can't wait for Marseille.

[Transplanted Gooner]

Real Madrid. :lol:

You spent 100m on the wrong Welshman.

I'm stealing THAT!!

[Thierrymon]

Good debut for Ozil. Looked a bit tired at the end. Good to see Vermaelen back.

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey is the new Gerrard.

But has technical ability and doesn't move like a tank.

[Munchies]

NANANANANA NANANAANA GIROUUUUUUUD

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Altidore. :lol:

I'm going to be saying that a lot this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wickham clears it for us.

[Munchies]

Altidore. :lol:

I'm going to be saying that a lot this season.

He scored tbf , he's a tank :coffee:

:lol:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ramsey is the new Gerrard.

Ramsey 2nd
http://i.minus.com/ibxrYh94FRIDa0.gif

[GP]

Feo well and truly hauled off.

Nacho man on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wickham shoots, Ches saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF Bif?

Ramsey. :bow:

[Thierrymon]

Giroud kicks the ground and hurts himself... Worrying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud :haha:.

Ramsey is truly awlsome.

[Özim]

Giroud is injured, now we could be f*cked.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

dear lord.

Bif has stayed down.

we simply cannot afford another injury.

[Thierrymon]

DiCanio :lol: What a clown.

[Master Splinter]

We'll have four players left for the Marseille game.

And -6 strikers.

Giroud does tend to exaggerate with his facial expression though tbf.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Di Canio has gone mental at the officials. :haha:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

sent to the tunnel by Atkinson. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Di Canio has gone mental at the officials. :haha:

Can't blame him

Been sent off apparently

[Thierrymon]

Giroud off injured. Akpom on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner. :lol:

[milla]

BiF injured, time to get Bendtner on a plane to London for Wed's CL game. :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

Chuba :bow:.

[Thierrymon]

Jeez that dude we just brought on is huge.

[Master Splinter]

We've made Altidore look like Dids in the second half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-3 Arsenal, FT! Top of the league! :bow:

:scarf:

[RomfordPele]

Giroud is injured, now we could be f*cked.

Don't worry, we've still got theo.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Great win.

[Özim]

3-1 FT...good win but was quite hard work in the end.

Ozil :bow:

Ramsey :bow:

Theo unman of the match today.

[Munchies]

Just me or did GW die for a moment ? Page wouldn't load

[RomfordPele]

Good result, put us through the rinser though!

[Munchies]

TOP OF THE LEAGUE :lol:

[Thierrymon]

Hope Girouds ok. It was his knee that he hurt, hopefully nothing serious.

[A Gunner]

We should have won, and we have, but we were also very lucky that at key moments decision went for us when it could have been against us.

[Munchies]

Hope Girouds ok. It was his knee that he hurt, hopefully nothing serious.

Yeah because if he gets injured... :getcoat:

[GP]

We should have won, and we have, but we were also very lucky that at key moments decision went for us when it could have been against us.

Apart from the pel, which was a poor decision.

[Transplanted Gooner]

Good result, put us through the rinser though!
That's the Arsenal way.

[Letters]

That's the Arsenal way.
:lol: pretty much

[Syn]

Hard to dissramsey.

[Ralpheroo72]

Mesut Ozil :cloud9:

[GP]

Alright, hands up, who thought that would happen after the Villa game?

[Master Splinter]

I thought it would be 12.

And it is really. Anthony Taylor just rubbed three points off for no reason.

[GP]

Next 5 games are winnable as well.

Lets do it.

[Master Splinter]

Liverpool, Dortmund and Man United in a week at the beginning of November should be fun. We'll draw Chelsea in the preceding Cup game too.

It would be nice if our squad was healthier by then.

[Syn]

We should aim to be about 20 points clear in the league before that those run of fixtures.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alright, hands up, who thought that would happen after the Villa game?

I was the only one predicting it if memory serves.

[Nayan]

Bit early to say he's the new denis but a bit of wee came out when he plucked that long pass out the air and laid it on a plate for Giroud.
Whassat about GIroud only scoring in London? Mug

[GP]

Giroud's gonna get a fuckton of goals from Ozil passes.

[LDG]

His link play means that others will score off of him too. He's playing brilliantly and working really hard.

Bith him and Ramsey are showing that if you work hard, you get your reward.

[Nayan]

@gaypete good for my fantasy football team if he does.
Against that it looks like bendter has been helping walcott with his finishing. Bit of a technical glitch there

[LDG]

Walcott is being incredibly lazy at present. He was against Spurs too.

He's not a shit player by any means, but if you don't work as hard as everyone else on the training ground and on the pitch, you get found out.

He's a lazy shit a lot just recently.

[Syn]

It's not really his job to track back much because its obvious he basically plays as a wide forward, and our left side is used more for build-ups.

It's not about confidence or form or anything like that. Just flip a coin. Heads he scores, tails he misses. Yesterday he had four tails out of four. Happens once every 16 games.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good analogy, Walcott is a (coin) toss. He's never had consistency in his game and he's long in the tooth to be getting away with such a fundamental flaw. Once every now and then he's outstanding, I'm betting if you trace this back it's because he's playing against a wank full back but don't quote me and blame Cripps if I'm wrong on this. Most of the time you just know everything is going to break down around him because his technique is so poor. Add Jenks to that side of the pitch (Jenks being one of my favourite players for different reasons) and we are very short of quality. It was so noticeable yesterday. Gibbs is a bit hit and miss too. When you see a player like Ozil and the control and composure he has you wonder why other players who have reached the top of the game are the extreme opposite in terms of making the ball do what they want it to do. What does Theo do on the training ground? Does he just sprint up and down the touchline all day? Why is there no noticeable improvement in his technique after all this time?

[Nayan]

walcott was in the right place and right time to get plenty of shots in on goal (not all on target). Even if his finishing wasnt good, he made those runs and gave the key passer /would be assister something to pass to, and helped pin backthe opposition. That means, by definition, he wasnt lazy and certainly didnt hide. He was just Just crap with his finishing.

He's doing alright on that count. i.e. being in the right position. And yes, the goals will come.

But I spent most of the 2nd half against the spuds watching what he was doing, and he certainly was hiding. He didn't get back to help out, and he didn't make the runs when his team needed a let out.

He does get lazy, no doubt about it. And my point was more that, if you don't work, then you don't get the rewards. In his case, goals.

Walcott has always played at his best, when he gets up a head of steam. When he works himself up, charges around, and makes things happen. If he's in one of his "shy little theo" moods, where he does that annoying trot / half jog, and doesn't look to get involved unless it's in the final third, then he plays himself out of the game.

That's lazy. IMO.

[Nayan]

he does need to sort it out indeed.
