Arsenal vs Lyon - Emirates Cup Sat 25 Jul 16:20 Live BT Sports 1

[Niall_Quinn]

If Wenger fails to challenge for this trophy then he needs to go!

[Letters]

I reckon we'll at least get to the semi-finals.

[RomfordPele]

Wenger out!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BT. :lol:

And so it begins. :(

[Globalgunner]

I reckon we'll at least get to the semi-finals.

Failure to win this tournament should be a sackable offence IMHO.

Good news is we might get to see his Lordship Bendtner in action.

[Globalgunner]

Smashing goal by the Yellow Submarine. Gaspart!

It shouldnt be an offence really if anyone of their players takes a dive, its what comes natural, I guess.

[Globalgunner]

Smashing goal by Perisic. With a name l;ike that shouldnt he be playing for the Submarines?

[Globalgunner]

Smashing goal by some kid called Noel. Submarines back in front......How i love footie, best thing invented since the IC engine and Penicillin.

[Master Splinter]

Ve vill win TEC.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Arsenal team to play Lyon: Martinez, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Coquelin, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Iwobi, Giroud

Arsenal subs: Cech, Gabriel, Monreal, Chambers, Bellerin, Hayden, Arteta, Cazorla, Reine-Adelaide, Walcott, Akpom

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Martinez becomes our number two this season and Ospina is sold whilst Ches is sent out on loan. The club seems to highly rate him.

Interesting to see Iwobi start ahead of Akpom though.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Also where the fuck is Jack?

Please don't tell me he's injured again. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Martinez is only playing because Ospina has extended leave.

Martinez is reported to be going out on loan.

Iwobi is interesting. You'd think only one of him and Akpom would be involved (somewhat) prominently this season. Although Gnabry has shown enough to be part of the squad too. Hopefully he finally makes an appearance tomorrow. I'd like an option like him in the squad. Unless Wenger feels he'd really benefit by going to a West Brom/West Ham for a year.

[Master Splinter]

Wilshere out with a cold.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Arsenal :scarf:.

[Niall_Quinn]

So far our midfield looks fast asleep. Non-existent.

[Penguin]

Gibbs :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi bottled it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi bottled it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Martinez.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good save Martinez but dreadful defending. In fact this has been an absolutely dreadful 12 minutes of football, as if we haven't prepared for the season at all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey going for the spectacular and unlikely. It didn't work.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Great skill by Lacazette to fashion that chance.

Hope Wenger is watching.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey :doh:

Why does he do that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud with a pub effort, Özil. :bow:

Did the best he could.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great by Ozil, but Giroud, WTF?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Giroud :doh::doh:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Has he still not recovered from Henry's criticism's last season.


Positive is that Ozil looks sharp as hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:rose: booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brain dead play from Ramsey again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey is on another planet at times.

[Niall_Quinn]

Look at the way Wenger has the team set out. We have one in the middle against four when we have the ball. It's idiotic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Better effort from Bif, still well wide though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grenier. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Even our perennial transfer targets are cripples.

[Penguin]

Lyon midfielder injures himself by kicking the ball. Someone needs to tell him to stop emulating Wilshere.

[Niall_Quinn]

Unlucky with the injury but the funereal walk-off was a bit much.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil with a bit of a weak finish.

Good Ramsey. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Mexican wave .... :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil didn't finish it but it was good to see him taking it on.

[Penguin]

Ozil's right foot is awful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ozil's right foot is awful

Good assist with his non-Chocolate leg though.

[Master Splinter]

BIF!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Great FK and Bif finishes it well.

1-0

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Giroud :bow:


never doubted him :bow:


Also another set piece goal :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Off Bif's shoulder, mainly because the defender was trying to get in his shirt.

[Maestro]

Giroud just scored, i.e. we don't need another striker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil's touch. :cloud9:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud just scored, i.e. we don't need another striker

It would have been better had he missed.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What a ball by Coq!!

[Master Splinter]

Why was that a free-kick?

Keepers are too protected.

[Maestro]

It would have been better had he missed.

He'll score a good four goals this weekend, and put paid to any new striker rumours

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OXOCUBE!!! What a counter!

[Master Splinter]

Oxlade!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He'll score a good four goals this weekend, and put paid to any new striker rumours

:lol:

Nah.

[Niall_Quinn]

Super play. Really, really good.

2-0 Ox

That's more like it.

[Maestro]

Finally some end product from Ox, his game badly needs goals and assists.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

WHAT A COUNTER!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OBI WAN IWOBI!!! What a goal!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

2 goals have coincided with Ramsey waking the fuck up.

[Master Splinter]

IWOBIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi - nice. didn't bottle that one.

3-0

[Maestro]

Good team goal brrrrrraaaaaappppp!!!!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

IWOBI!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

3 goals have coincided with Ramsey waking the fuck up.

He's such a good player when he keeps it simple.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We already have the three points. :scarf:

[Maestro]

:lol:

Nah.

I would so go beast mode if I was Giroud :d

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Iwobi, the officials are a disgrace.

[Maestro]

Obi Wan Offside

[Niall_Quinn]

Wasn't offside either. If we lose this 4-3 then the linesman is to blame.

[Master Splinter]

RAMSEY!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RAMSEY!!

What a pass from Özil. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

4 goals have coincided with Ramsey waking the fuck up.

Nice finish 4-0

[The Emirates Gallactico]

This is a rape :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Do not forget that this was the competition where Sanogo scored 4 goals and cemented his status in Arsenal folklore.

I think we just might win this cup

[Maestro]

Ozil is sick fam, swear down!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil is anonymous - he'll never cut it in this league.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Barclays Asia Trophy
Emirates Cup
Community Shield
Capital One Cup
Premier League
FA Cup
Champions League


The heptable is on. :bow::bow:

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey is brilliant.

[Maestro]

Ozil is anonymous - he'll never cut it in this league.


He'll put the Daily Heil out of business one of these days.

A talent like Ozil is wasted without sharp incisive forwards

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez with two saves.

[Maestro]

Our defence always have a moment of comedy value in them, such entertainers.

[Niall_Quinn]

Martinez is the whole back 5 right now. 4-0 but our defence has been way too open today.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Martinez mang ...

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs should be fined for passing that back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 4-0 Lyon, HT.

It's time to get the Emirates Cup back. :bow:

[GP]

Pretty good

[Niall_Quinn]

Moss gets some pre-season practice in - books Coq.

HT 4-0

Ramsey was shit, then he decided to be good, then we scored 4 and our defence has been shite.

[GP]

This is a rape :lol:

[Maestro]

Lacazette looking lackadaisical and lacking a goal .....that's a whole lot of lacs

[Maestro]

Arsenal 4-0 Lyon, HT.

It's time to get the Emirates Cup back. :bow:

Who's got it?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Thing is as well, Lyon aren't mugs like Benfica either.

They nearly pipped PSG to the title last year.

This is very impressive. Mark my words.

[Penguin]

I would so go beast mode if I was Giroud :d
He doesn't have one, mate :violin:

[GP]

Lacazette looking lackadaisical and lacking a goal .....that's a whole lot of lacs

He's also lactating.

[Letters]

Pretty good

Meh. Wenger out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ironically Arsenal only had four shots on target and scored from all of them.

No, not NBN but David James.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who's got it?

Valencia.

[Letters]

Ironically Arsenal only had four shots on target and scored from all of them.

No, not NBN but David James.

Is that ironic, Alanis?

[Niall_Quinn]

Unlucky Ox. He's looked really good in pre-season so far. Looks in control of what he's doing. Sign of a class player.

[GP]

Is that ironic, Alanis?

David james thought Arsenal spending £10m on Petr Cech wasn't a good use of funds.

Ironically, he has been declared bankrupt.

[Maestro]

He's also lactating.

:haha:

The lactating, lactose-intolorent Lacazette is looking lacquered, lackadaisical, lacklustre and lacking a goal this afternoon

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

N'Jie shoots wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Defence all over the place again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tape cassette offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud hammers the volley, in to the side netting.

[Niall_Quinn]

Horrible miss by La-VHS. Even though it was offside, a top striker rarely fails to stick it in the net from there. Doesn't look to be an upgrade on Bif in any way.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Trying to walk the ball into the net :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud went for unselfish Özil ball. :unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif could have done with shooting there. He's a striker after all.

[Master Splinter]

Errrrrrrzil!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ÖZIL!!!!

:cloud9:

[Niall_Quinn]

Triple sub coming up. Arteta, Akpom and Santi.

Meanwhile Ozil makes it 5-0

[adzzzbatch]

Quality goal!

[Maestro]

Oh Ozzie

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ozil :lol:

THIS WILL BE HIS SEASON.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some German bloke who's not as good as any manc or chav playa scores a lucky fluke and then gets subbed. He's probably off to bribe police.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Akpom.

Probably trying too hard there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Confident backpass from Chubba

[Niall_Quinn]

How shit is that ref, to buy a dive like that?

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Theo wearing a sports bra?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Is Theo wearing a sports bra?

Nah it's one of those GPS tracking sports vests that the players wear these days to give the background staff data to analyse on each players performance.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox and Bif off - Theo and somebody else on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nah it's one of those GPS tracking sports vests that the players wear these days to give the background staff data to analyse on each players performance.

It just looks like a bra then?

[Maestro]

Nah it's one of those GPS tracking sports vests that the players wear these days to give the background staff data to analyse on each players performance.

so it is a sports bra

[Niall_Quinn]

Apart from an abrupt end to the broad range of defence busting passes, you'd hardly notice Ozil had gone off.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

It just looks like a bra then?

Yep they do.

The players and the club have been using them for ages.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hayden on, Coq off.

Another solid display from Le Coq.

[Penguin]

FFS why are you slowing down guys? I put a fiver on 2 second half Arsenal goals <_<

[Niall_Quinn]

La BetaMax slashes it wide. Not hugely impressed by him.

[Niall_Quinn]

FFS why are you slowing down guys? I put a fiver on 2 second half Arsenal goals <_<

Theo will get one, in about 7 mins time.

[Master Splinter]

CATHORLA!!!

[adzzzbatch]

woooooooooohoooooooooo

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi makes it 6. Simple FK.

[Niall_Quinn]

FFS why are you slowing down guys? I put a fiver on 2 second half Arsenal goals <_<

Unfortunately Theo will still get one in about 4 mins so you are screwed.

[Penguin]

Thank you Santi :bow:

[Maestro]

Quality from Carzola

[Master Splinter]

Rene-Adelaide is the new Diaby.

[GP]

Rene-Adelaide is the new Diaby.

He's injured? ahahahaha lol

[Maestro]

Good instinct from Akpom

[Penguin]

Unfortunately Theo will still get one in about 4 mins so you are screwed.

The bet was two or more goals so that's fine by me ;)

[Niall_Quinn]

FFS! Theo missed it :doh:

[Penguin]

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 6-0

Ozil anonymous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lyon got bageled. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Some brilliant questions by the BT bimbo.

Are you happy you won?

Would it be fair to say you enjoyed not having your penis hacked off with a broken bottle?

[Niall_Quinn]

Le Boss:

Q: You must be happy today?
A: LOOK! Of course, you little bit stupid cunt.

[Niall_Quinn]

Swiss Super League live on BT Sports 1HD 7pm - Grasshoppers vs Basle - don't miss it!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Swiss Super League live on BT Sports 1HD 7pm - Grasshoppers vs Basle - don't miss it!

Christ.....

[Özim]

Thing is as well, Lyon aren't mugs like Benfica either.

They nearly pipped PSG to the title last year.

This is very impressive. Mark my words.

It's a friendly, think you're getting carried away, Man U beat Barca does that make them favourites for the CL now?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

For once I agree with you, if nothing else need to wait and see how we do today against Wolfsburg

Still though, it's good to see our midfield giving us goals.
