Arsenal v Crystal Pulis - Saturday 16 August - 17:30 (SS1)

[adzzzbatch]

shitmak just falls over

[The Emirates Gallactico]

This ref is actually a homo.


What is with us and getting shit refs for the first game of the season?

[Niall_Quinn]

That's so lazy by Santi.

Another whistle against Alexis. Good news, it will give the media a chance to say he's not up to the physical side of the English game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chakma finally booked.

[adzzzbatch]

fucking shitmak finally gets a yellow

[Penguin]

Chamakh finally booked. Took your time ref :rolleyes:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

About 60 mins late for that yellow card ref.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chakma pleading it was only his 58th offence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez shoots, bit of a scuffer, Speroni saves.

[adzzzbatch]

I guess we weren't as good last week as we thought we were.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great feet by Alexis. Shame about the finish.

[Penguin]

Well played Alexis. More of that please

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair off, Oxocube on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox for Jack. Santi lucky to still be on the pitch.

[Power n Glory]

Cazorla in the middle now. Jack off.

[Penguin]

Brilliant footwork again from Alexis. Come on Arsenal :pray:

[adzzzbatch]

COME ON ARSENAL!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey tries to comb it, Speroni saves again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Direct play from Ox already making it a different game.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Come on you reds!

[adzzzbatch]

more time wasting.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - pen. Pathetic says Neville as Giroud is pulled down.

[Penguin]

The time wasting is back <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dann off injured, Delaney on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Can they string this bout of time wasting to the 90th min? Looks like it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brief spell of football interrupts the time wasting.

[Slacker]

Scott Dann held the game up for 3 mins on the floor because he couldn't walk 10 yards, then gets up and walks off without any sign of pain. Should have been booked.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Brief spell of football interrupts the time wasting.

I must have been making the tea when the 'football' happened.

[adzzzbatch]

Please get a goal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kelly booked.

Scrotes.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Where the fuck to they dig up these shite refs?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Kelly booked.

Scrotes.

Welcome to tBLitWtbh

[adzzzbatch]

alexis :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Awful free kick.

[adzzzbatch]

where's the urgency?

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off alexis!

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis' final ball, not so great in several games so far. He'll get the hang of it.

[Slacker]

Get them a fucking wheelbarrow to cart all their players off so we can watch some football.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ten minutes left - will we get 80 seconds of football?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear Santi.

[Power n Glory]

Get fat fuck Cazorla off.

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off santi

[Xhaka Can’t]

FUCK OFF Cazorla.

[Niall_Quinn]

Just dreadful by Cazorla.

[Penguin]

Jesus Christ Santi

[adzzzbatch]

we've looked pretty clueless today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dear god. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Passing was great vs the gypos. Passing has been shit today.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No composure at all from us.

[Niall_Quinn]

minus 4 mins extra time on the board

[Penguin]

It's like we're trying to give them more opportunities to timewaste

[adzzzbatch]

absolutely crap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud right across goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Palace have looked solid on the left since they brought Monreal on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell off, Gayle on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

For the love of god someone score for us please.

[adzzzbatch]

They've all been shit today.

[Bumble]

Still think we will Nick this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Superb by Chambers

Worth a try from Ox, good running

[Niall_Quinn]

Still think we will Nick this.

Yep, agreed

Ramsey in 89th

[adzzzbatch]

FUCK OFF CAZORLA

[Xhaka Can’t]

Oh Santi Cazorla. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi "woeful" Cazorla

[adzzzbatch]

Just not good enough

[Xhaka Can’t]

Still think we will Nick this.

Yeah, but I'd prefer to take all three points.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Too many touches!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Puncheon sent off. :haha:

[Penguin]

Puncheon sent off. Good fucking riddance.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

About 80 mins too late!

[Niall_Quinn]

Red for Puncheon. Should have been done ages ago but now the ref has an opportunity to waste some time.

[Xhaka Can’t]

COME ON!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bolasie off, O'Keefe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[adzzzbatch]

only 5 mins extra

[Xhaka Can’t]

Five minutes of timewasting time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RAMSEY!!!!!!!

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey!!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

RAMSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Xhaka Can’t]

Thank fuck

[Niall_Quinn]

5 mins time. Should be 55

[Penguin]

[Transplanted Gooner]

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[Niall_Quinn]

Neville gutted

[The Emirates Gallactico]

dDONT FUCK THIS UP NOW1!

[Power n Glory]

Yes!!! Ya fuckers! Palace didn't deserve anything from this game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck Tony Pulis.

[Bumble]

Yep, agreed

Ramsey in 89th
Nearly

[Niall_Quinn]

Nearly

That time wasting corner threw it. But it kind of backfired on them methinks

[Niall_Quinn]

Somebody get a tissue for Gary Neville so he can blow his nose

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Corner for Palace. Koscielny, use your eyes this time please.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

ffs corner!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure it's a foul. :lol:

Shut up Neville.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Holy shit, I nearly had a heart attack there.

We need to sort out our defence of corners.

[adzzzbatch]

GET IN!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 2-1 Palace, FT!!!

Another glorious win. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Palace try a rugby scrum to bundle it in. No joy. Neville in floods

[Penguin]

Arsenal :bow:

Ramsey :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Get in! :dance:

[Niall_Quinn]

First game won - that's all that matters. The rest will come.

Also, Sanogo must never play again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cruel on Palace. :lol:

No, this is what you get when you play in that way.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off neville

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Played shit and won. Get the fuck in!

[Penguin]

Easy :coffee:

[adzzzbatch]

"Arsenal picked up a win" wtf?

[Niall_Quinn]

Get out of jail card win for us. Stealing the match.

Of course if we'd had a genius in charge this would be Arsenal playing until the last whistle and doing what it takes to win matches.

[Niall_Quinn]

Women presenters :haha:

[fakeyank]

Never in doubt tbh

[Master Splinter]

Awful performance, but Palace were allowed to break up all our play all day by an absolutely woeful referee.

Deserved win, good effort until the end and a vital three points.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Monreal was really good when coming on and I thought Ramsey was below par by his lofty standard despite the goal.

Sneezy's efforts should really go on putting the midgets on the post although I know it may be contrary to the zonal 'system' we play.

I think we over estimated the influence of Pulis leaving....and I think the fact it was as sudden as it was, meant the impact wasn't nearly as felt.

I thought the first half was really open for us and should really have been when we capitalised but it wasn't to be and in typical fashion we ended up conceding first. All the same, we got the first win of the season at home so all's well that ends well.
