1-2.

[GP]

0-3

[Niall_Quinn]

0-3 Ozil hattrick

[Injury Time]

Building on from Stoke 1-0 little bit lack of sharpness

[AFC Leveller]

1-2.

Theo and Alexis.

[Power n Glory]

Predicted Team

-----------------------Cech------------------------

Debuchy------Merts------Kos----Monreal

------------------Santi---Coquelin-------------

Ramsey-------------Giroud------------Alexis

I think Wenger may give Debuchy a game and he’ll rotate the strikers. He hinted that he’d rotate them and this might be the game he’ll try.

2-1

[AFC Leveller]

Our next 4 games look tough, all away.

Zagareb
Chewsea
Spuds
Leicester

[Syn]

Our next 4 games look tough, all away.

Zagareb
Chewsea
Spuds
Leicester

Would take:

loss
draw
loss
win

[Marc Overmars]

Don't think we'll have too much trouble here.

0-2.

[Niall_Quinn]

Would take:

loss
draw
loss
win

Would take:

Wenger out the back and beat him if we end up with that record.

[Bumble]

think we will keep a clean sheet and that is what matters. we will finish 2nd in the group anyway.

[Özim]

P*ss easy game, should win this at a canter, shame on us if we don't.

[Niall_Quinn]

P*ss easy game, should win this at a canter, shame on us if we don't.

It's too early to be ashamed if we don't win this, we should wait until the end of the season to be pissed off if we lose it.

[alexander]

Know nothing about this opposition, but reckon we should be beating them into the dirt.

2-1 defeat.

[Niall_Quinn]

Know nothing about this opposition, but reckon we should be beating them into the dirt.

2-1 defeat.

Croatian double winners, shit record in the CL though - even the spuds beat them.

Wenger's view:


“We have to make sure we finish above Zagreb and Olympiakos – and this result on Wednesday will count a lot. It’s important to start well.”

In many ways I agree with his statement of the bloody obvious. Yes indeed, considering Bayern are also in the group, we'd do ourselves a massive favour by finishing above the mighty Zagreb and Olympiakos.

[fakeyank]

0-1

Ox.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

Predicted Team

-----------------------Cech------------------------

Debuchy------Merts------Kos----Monreal

------------------Santi---Coquelin-------------

Ramsey-------------Giroud------------Alexis

I think Wenger may give Debuchy a game and he’ll rotate the strikers. He hinted that he’d rotate them and this might be the game he’ll try.

2-1

Very confident of you to only play with 10 men

[Niall_Quinn]

Very confident of you to only play with 10 men

Ozil is anonymous.

[Marc Overmars]

Bellerin and Ramsey are out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin and Ramsey are out.

Injured? Rested? Gone to Barca?

[Marc Overmars]

Presumably injured. Just reading a quote Twitter from WUMger who said they both haven't travelled.

[Niall_Quinn]

Maybe he stuck them on the wings of the aircraft and they fell off.

[AFC Leveller]

Debuchy is more than good enough to step in anyway and the OX might get a game finally. Debuchy isnt as much of a threat going forward as Bellerin but the OX is a much betetr winger than Ramsay so i guess it ballances out nicely.

[Kano]

Should be quite an easy one for us this.

2-0 Zagreb.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Would take:

loss
draw
loss
win

A loss to D Zagreb and Spuds....are you kidding!??

[Injury Time]

Monreal says its more psychological than physical challenge tonight, so a loss it is then.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

The funny thing is we have every excuse not to rotate because we have no players to rotate with, with injuries and lack of outfield reinforcement we essentially have no squad....just a first XI, couple of subs, bunch of clapped out geriatrics and failures and the youth team which is also without mincing words shit.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

The teams

Dinamo Zagreb: Eduardo, Ivo Pinto, Sigali, Taravel, Pivaric, Paulo Machado, Ademi, Antolic, Soudani, Pjaca, Fernandes.
Subs: Jezina, Henriquez, Hodzic, Coric, Benkovic, Rog, Matel.

Arsenal: Ospina, Debuchy, Koscielny, Gabriel, Gibbs, Arteta, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud.
Subs: Cech, Chambers, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Campbell, Walcott.

Referee: Ovidiu Hategan (Romania)

[Power n Glory]

Very confident of you to only play with 10 men

We're that good, Bro! :lol:

I forgot Ozil. I knew he'd start Debuchy and Giroud.

[Niall_Quinn]

The teams

Dinamo Zagreb: Eduardo, Ivo Pinto, Sigali, Taravel, Pivaric, Paulo Machado, Ademi, Antolic, Soudani, Pjaca, Fernandes.
Subs: Jezina, Henriquez, Hodzic, Coric, Benkovic, Rog, Matel.

Arsenal: Ospina, Debuchy, Koscielny, Gabriel, Gibbs, Arteta, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud.
Subs: Cech, Chambers, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Campbell, Walcott.

Referee: Ovidiu Hategan (Romania)

Gambling with the first game. Not taking the opposition seriously. I hope the total transformation of the team for no good reason and the arrogance pays out. Is Cech tired or something? Coquelin can't play - why? Monreal? Ox will need to have a good game to stop this being a fiesta of plodding.

[Kano]

Coq needs a rest, I'll give him that one. Big game on Saturday and with the massive workload he's been given this season a break here and there is needed and I think this is as good as any. It's Sanchez I'm worried about. That guys needs a rest, he's mostly been off the pace this season and I can just see a massive injury brewing at some point, particularly after running himself into the ground last year, then through the summer with hardly any time off.

Good to see Eduardo back at his old club in goal.

[Heisenberg]

Cech on the bench :unsure:

[adzzzbatch]

COME ON ARSENAL!!!

[Maestro]

Fuck off Sky, great to have free BT Sport ....just for the CL football if anything

Let's see what Giroud, Arteta and Debuchy have to offer ....any fuckeries and I'm switching to the Barca game

[Power n Glory]

Zagreb are strong at home. Bit of a risk but it's a strong enough team to win. We're keeping an eye on the Chelsea game. Giroud needs a good game. Wenger missed a trick with this one because I think our strikers need momentum.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off Sky, great to have free BT Sport ....just for the CL football if anything

Let's see what Giroud, Arteta and Debuchy have to offer ....any fuckeries and I'm switching to the Barca game

How are you getting BT Sport free? They charge now don't they?

[Niall_Quinn]

The Zagreb manager - surely that's a fake chin?

[adzzzbatch]

Need to be more direct in and around the box.

[Maestro]

How are you getting BT Sport free? They charge now don't they?

free via Virginmedia, all BT Sport channels ....for now anyway

[Kano]

Don't really kind what happens today, or on this comp. About as valuable to us as the League Cup.

[adzzzbatch]

free via Virginmedia, all BT Sport channels ....for now anyway

Well we do pay VM enough for the privilege!

Need to upgrade the TiVo to make it 4K capable though. :cloud9:

[adzzzbatch]

That was too easy for them there.

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooooo

[Master Splinter]

Keeper having a blinder again. :rolleyes:

[Maestro]

Well we do pay VM enough for the privilege!

Need to upgrade the TiVo to make it 4K capable though. :cloud9:

yeah i've been hammering them with fake complaints and threats for years and have enjoyed really good deals and offers from therefor a long time, the bastards

[Niall_Quinn]

Hollywood save from a pretty lame effort by Giroud.

[Kano]

Good save by the fake Eduardo from a good Bif header.

[Niall_Quinn]

free via Virginmedia, all BT Sport channels ....for now anyway

VirginMedia? Never again. I'll stick to the pirate streams.

[Power n Glory]

VirginMedia? Never again. I'll stick to the pirate streams.

I might buckle. The stream quality is horrendous.

[adzzzbatch]

what a shit stadium that place is.

[Maestro]

VirginMedia? Never again. I'll stick to the pirate streams.

:d oh yeah, you've been through the wars with them

tbf i've hardly ever had a problem with the service for years now, and i know i'm probably in the minority

[Niall_Quinn]

I might buckle. The stream quality is horrendous.

stream2watch.me (Stream #2 is fine)

[Power n Glory]

stream2watch.me (Stream #2 is fine)

I've got a link to a few of them. It's just not gonna beat HD or even standard definition. :lol: oh well. Pockets are tight so will make do.

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud is nowhere near sharp enough.

[adzzzbatch]

I've got a link to a few of them. It's just not gonna beat HD or even standard definition. :lol: oh well. Pockets are tight so will make do.

I'm gonna have a mortgage soon so streams will have to do for me in the not to distant future :(

[Power n Glory]

:d oh yeah, you've been through the wars with them

tbf i've hardly ever had a problem with the service for years now, and i know i'm probably in the minority

I left Sky for Virgin but on the cheaper package. The broadband is sweet. But Sky called back and offered me free Sky for a year! No catch.

[Kano]

Bif donkeys one wide :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

giroud :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif has missed a couple of chances now - a couple more misses and he'll be ripe for a goal.

Great pass by Ozil to the opposition :doh:

[Maestro]

almost time to switch to the barca game at this rate

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud asks to be booked. Gets booked.

[Kano]

Yellow for Bif for nothing.

Feo wouldn't do that.

[adzzzbatch]

FUCK OFF ARSENAL

[Kano]

Classy defending right there.

[Maestro]

well done zagreb

debuchy and arteta ...fucking useless

[Niall_Quinn]

Zagreb 1-0

Obvious. Their tactics are simple, obvious but effective. We are set up in the usual way, plodding along, very easy for the opposition. They would have known that.

[adzzzbatch]

Our fucking defence. shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif needs to sort his head out or he's getting a red and we'll have lost the opening game.

[Kano]

Sluggish start by Arsenal and remaining 60 min are going to be a slog.

[Munchies]

FFS!!

Not able to watch the game but fuck off

[adzzzbatch]

FFS!!

Not able to watch the game but fuck off

Same old shit mate.

[adzzzbatch]

debuchy :doh:

[Kano]

Bif just about holds himself up let alone the ball.

[adzzzbatch]

We're so toothless upfront.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

End of the day who gives a fuck? At least that soppy old goat has played this plodding old shit here rather than at Stamford bridge, we aren't going to win the European cup we aren't going to come close.......so who gives a shit even if we went out at the group stage?.

[Injury Time]

FFS!!

Not able to watch the game but fuck off

I've got BT sport but it the only channel that doesnt work/gives "weak signal shit", I could watch it on the iPad but mate been texting whilst I put the kids to bed...don't think I'll bother. Debuchy and Arteta on, WUMger rotation in full rotation mode :fingers: :banghead:

[Maestro]

FFS!!

Not able to watch the game but fuck off

you're missing out big style ........Captain Artie, Debuchy, Giroud and the boys are laying on a masterclass

[Kano]

Wow, what a chin.

[Munchies]

:lol:

Same shit, different game

[adzzzbatch]

I can't believe how poor we've been so far this season.

[Niall_Quinn]

End of the day who gives a fuck? At least that soppy old goat has played this plodding old shit here rather than at Stamford bridge, we aren't going to win the European cup we aren't going to come close.......so who gives a shit even if we went out at the group stage?.

He'll do the same against the chavs. Our job on the weekend is to get the chavs back into the hunt. Wenger is the ideal man to make that happen.

[selassie]

We're getting overrun in Midfield and look very suspect when they are on the counter. Think we've underestimated this mob.

[Injury Time]

I can't believe how poor we've been so far this season.

Really? I can :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, what a chin.

It's fake.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off giroud you cunt

[Niall_Quinn]

There's Bif's red. Again - obvious.

Oh well, onto the weekend.

[Kano]

Giroud :lol:

We'll be better now.

[adzzzbatch]

What a dick.

[Kano]

It's fake.

That's jealousy talking.

[Munchies]

Fuck the cunt!!

[Master Splinter]

Ref has been a cunt, but Giroud is a bigger one for being so thick.

[Injury Time]

Fuck off Sky, great to have free BT Sport ....just for the CL football if anything

Let's see what Giroud, Arteta and Debuchy have to offer ....any fuckeries and I'm switching to the Barca game
How is the Barca game?

[adzzzbatch]

Same old Arsenal mentality thinking turning up is all that matters.

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't like to see that from Alexis. He's gone down way too easily there and he's not fighting. Maybe he's figured out it's all pointless with the old goat calling the shots.

[adzzzbatch]

What was Wenger's game plan exactly? Coz I can't see one.

[RomfordPele]

Ref not doing us any favours today. Typical arsenal though. Sigh.

[selassie]

He'll do the same against the chavs. Our job on the weekend is to get the chavs back into the hunt. Wenger is the ideal man to make that happen.

I'll be amazed if we get anything out of the game on Saturday even against that lot in their current crisis.

[Injury Time]

Building on from Stoke 1-0 little bit lack of sharpness

*sigh* I fucking hate it when I'm right :ilt: Fuck this I'm going to watch British Bake off at least won't have to watch Giroud miss the oven and Debuchy stirring Artetas man porridge.

[Injury Time]

Monreal says its more psychological than physical challenge tonight, so a loss it is then.
*sigh*

[KSE Comedy Club]

Wenger shouldn't have changed a winning team, end of.

[Kano]

How underwhelming is this game?

[Niall_Quinn]

All painfully predictable. Team selection shows Wenger not only learns nothing but doesn't believe he has anything to learn. He's such an incredible liability, especially in Europe.

[KSE Comedy Club]

I've stopped watching when the red was shown.

Can't be arsed with this shit.

im gonna delete the app, I'm not free streaming off the net for this tripe :sulk:

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck it, there must be something better on the box to watch than another 45 minutes of that crap.

[Gooner23]

Oh well, haven't got BT sport so least I don't have to sit through the usual crap this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Us. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

WUMger. :lol:

Give it up old man, this competition is not for you.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger shouldn't have changed a winning team, end of.

A couple of sensible changes would have been fine, and they were already enforced anyway with Ramsey and Bellerin out. But that's not enough to demonstrate a contemptuous attitude towards the opposition so he had to shake everything up. He's treated this like a Carling Cup match and we have the same outcome we always see when he does this.

[Munchies]

WUMger. :lol:

Give it up old man, this competition is not for you.

:lol:

:gp:

[Xhaka Can’t]

On the plus side, Giroud can't break up our play anymore.

[adzzzbatch]

WUMger. :lol:

Give it up old man, this competition is not for you.

He hasn't got a clue.

[Maestro]

How is the Barca game?

Better than this game .....screamer of a goal by Roma

[adzzzbatch]

On the plus side, Giroud can't break up our play anymore.

Every cloud I guess....

[Gooner23]

It's the general attitude that fucks me off more than the selection. The arrogance and complacency happens time and time again with so many different sets of players, there is however one constant.

[Maestro]

all we can do is laugh at this shit now, not even worth getting wound up about anymore ....total joke

[adzzzbatch]

It's the general attitude that fucks me off more than the selection. The arrogance and complacency happens time and time again with so many different sets of players, there is however one constant.

Yes, whenever we play anyone we perceive as lower opposition we show complete complacency and disrespect.

[Munchies]

https://twitter.com/_OlivierGiroud_/status/435057591203676160

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

It's the general attitude that fucks me off more than the selection. The arrogance and complacency happens time and time again with so many different sets of players, there is however one constant.

It's too early to start talking about the one constant that has been in effect for 10 years. We need to wait until we gloriously get knocked out 3-2 in the second leg of the tie in the next round of the competition before we can say nothing has changed.

[Power n Glory]

all we can do is laugh at this shit now, not even worth getting wound up about anymore ....total joke

Way ahead of ya. I can't do the rage anymore.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I can't believe how poor we've been so far this decade.

Fixed it for you.

[adzzzbatch]

Fixed it for you.

:tiphat: cheers mate.

[Niall_Quinn]

No changes by WUMger? No reaction? Nothing?

Sub on 72 mins then? Flamini on?

[Kano]

It's ok we'll match the leaders stride for stride in the last 18 games of the season.

Should've been 2-0

Shambles at the back

[Niall_Quinn]

Way ahead of ya. I can't do the rage anymore.

It's too early to be way ahead of anyone.

[Munchies]

Olivier Giroud's first half by numbers:

56% pass accuracy
4 shots
0 goals
0% aerial duels won
1 red card

[adzzzbatch]

Olivier Giroud's first half by numbers:

56% pass accuracy
4 shots
0 goals
0% aerial duels won
1 red card

Shocking.

[Slacker]

3 CZ players unmarked at the back post - zonal marking FTW :good:

[Kano]

Ozil in front of goal equals one thing

[Marc Overmars]

Olivier Giroud's first half by numbers:

56% pass accuracy
4 shots
0 goals
0% aerial duels won
1 red card

Wait, he's been sent off? :haha:

Jesus.

[Niall_Quinn]

Poor pass by Ozil could have done better.

Has WUMger started drugging the players now?

[Power n Glory]

It's too early to be way ahead of anyone.

Should I wait until the end of the season and judge if it's funny then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zagreb hit the woodwork. :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

Way ahead of ya. I can't do the rage anymore.

I've turned off, the manager and players don't give a shit so why should I?

GW/Arseblog live are now my only sources for this game tonight now.

[Munchies]

Wait, he's been sent off? :haha:

Jesus.

Yes :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

Wait, he's been sent off? :haha:

Jesus.

Was he that anonymous? :haha:

[Power n Glory]

Olivier Giroud's first half by numbers:

56% pass accuracy
4 shots
0 goals
0% aerial duels won
1 red card

This myth about him holding the ball up in our opponents half. Two pacey wingers either side of him and he was still shit.

[Slacker]

We're being West Hammed by their manager's best bud. Sometimes I wish AW was more like Ferguson or Maureen. They wouldn't have picked this shower to start with and then they would have changed it...

[Kano]

I've turned off, the manager and players don't give a shit so why should I?

GW/Arseblog live are now my only sources for this game tonight now.
That was a bit rash. We're 4-1 up now.

[adzzzbatch]

That was a bit rash. We're 4-1 up now.

:patrice:

[Maestro]

All we need is Comical Ali Ty to come on here and defend this shit and we have our very own comedy club

[Niall_Quinn]

Should I wait until the end of the season and judge if it's funny then?

I'm going to say yes for now, and then criticise you for not saying anything at the time come the end of the season.

[Niall_Quinn]

All we need is Comical Ali Ty to come on here and defend this shit and we have our very own comedy club

He's in China

[Kano]

Arteta :lol:

[Kano]

Ozil steams free from the defence buries it

Offside

Shit decision

[Maestro]

He's in China


Oh what a bummer, GW really needed it's joker in the pack tonight

[Maestro]

Arteta :lol:


Capi

[Marc Overmars]

Yes :haha:

Had no idea, not watching. No chance am I getting BT.

Just dipping in and out of this thread and must have missed the page with the posts about the red. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Now that WUMger can't enforce his rigid and shit style of play focused on a statue up front we actually look better up front.

Meanwhile Debuchy does well there to keep it at 1-0

[Kano]

2-0 :haha:

Kos bottles one again.

[Power n Glory]

Game over lads.

[Master Splinter]

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Whoops.

[Slacker]

Zonal marking :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh well 2-0

Game over.

Obviously WUMger out. Man never learns. Man has no respect. Man needs to go.

BTW, this Zagreb team isn't even that decent. But their manager knows the basics.

[adzzzbatch]

:haha: :haha: :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

You'd think after 18 years Wenger may have gained some sort of nous in this competition.

Still as amateur as ever.

[adzzzbatch]

"first ever victory over an english side" :rolleyes:

[Maestro]

damn i missed that goal

it's like walking in late to a stand up show and missing a david chapelle punch line, gutted

[Kano]

Ox surges down the wing, beats three men, gets to the byline and taps it out for a goal kick.

[Maestro]

"first ever victory over an english side" :rolleyes:


first victory in the CL in 19 games for Zagreb

[adzzzbatch]

You'd think after 18 years Wenger may have gained some sort of nous in this competition.

Still as amateur as ever.

There's nothing new to say about the mans ineptitude

[adzzzbatch]

first victory in the CL in 19 games for Zagreb

Awesome :lol:

[Kano]

We're winning on passes. All is well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo has got this. If he ever comes on.

[Master Splinter]

It's made all the worse with Jonathan Pearce's senile, ear-defiling histrionics.

[Slacker]

Luckily we've only got 15 minutes till autosub. Chambers for the Ox.

[adzzzbatch]

Was winning one game too much positive momentum? one wonders.

[Master Splinter]

Campbell coming on. :haha:

WUMger not even hiding the fact that he is a professional troll anymore.

[Kano]

Feo and Campbell on

The glorious away point is on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Champions League. :lol:

Wenger just thinks you are the COC now.

[Penguin]

3 subs?

[Marc Overmars]

It's a shame really, I thought we had half a chance at Stamford Bridge but we know what is going to happen there now.

[adzzzbatch]

We're gonna get thrashed Saturday lunchtime.

[Niall_Quinn]

WUMger going to plan Z. Oh look - All of WUMger's genius changes for tonight have been undone.

[Slacker]

We're gonna get thrashed Saturday lunchtime.

6-1, Gibbs wrongly dismissed. It's so real I feel like it's happened before...

[adzzzbatch]

6-1, Gibbs wrongly dismissed. It's so real I feel like it's happened before...

:lol:

I don't think it would take a wrong dismissal this time around though.

[Kano]

Feo misses a one on one luckily it's offside

[Niall_Quinn]

What about Cech as player manager for the rest of the season?

[Maestro]

what have i done to myself cech wonders as he sits on the bench

[Xhaka Can’t]

Shut up you whinging bastards. I'm going to wait until the end of the game before I judge this performance.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think it's a good ploy to chuck Campbell into a losing game in the CL and ask him to do something about it. Clever development path.

[adzzzbatch]

According to Arseblog, we're playing better now with Campbell on and being 2-0 down :rolleyes:

[Maestro]

switched back to watching our game proper now, it's just too funny to miss out on

...who knew grown men could gleefully wallow and wade through such shite

[Xhaka Can’t]

Zagreb are shit tbf. Six points will be their lot in this group.

[Niall_Quinn]

According to Arseblog, we're playing better now with Campbell on and being 2-0 down :rolleyes:

The computer hasn't got anything to cover this so Wenger has shut down and the players are getting on with it by themselves.

[Niall_Quinn]

Zagreb are shit tbf. Six points will be their lot in this group.

You think we'll lose to them at home too?

[Maestro]

could someone change this to a match reaction thread ...you know it makes sense

[Globalgunner]

Shut up you whinging bastards. I'm going to wait until the end of the game before I judge this performance.

Its always best to wait till the end of the season
Judge him in May
Then next May
Then the next May
ad infinitum

[LDG]

Shut up you whinging bastards. I'm going to wait until the end of the game before I judge this performance.

Both Utd and City lost last night, so this is an acceptable defeat.

I think I'll wait until we scrape through the group on away goals to be beaten in the knock-outs by some Belgian shithouse side before I judge.

[Penguin]

Is this linesman blind? Uefa need to stop cutting costs.

[Niall_Quinn]

could someone change this to a match reaction thread ...you know it makes sense

Or just have a season reaction thread and be done with it.

[Maestro]

which club is sanchez moving to end of this season?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ospina :haha:

If you want something done...

[Penguin]

Ospina :haha:

[Maestro]

Or just have a season reaction thread and be done with it.

even more sense, that makes

threads have all merged into one heard/hoard of shite ...shite is shite and sewers don't segregate

[Power n Glory]

Both Utd and City lost last night, so this is an acceptable defeat.

I think I'll wait until we scrape through the group on away goals to be beaten in the knock-outs by some Belgian shithouse side before I judge.

Yeah the two Manchester clubs have done shit for their opening games so we haven't done too bad considering we had a man sent off.

[Slacker]

Theo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!!

[Penguin]

Ospina :haha:

If you want something done...

If only he could do Wenger's job for him

[Penguin]

YES THEO

[Kano]

Feo!!!

12 in 12 now.

[adzzzbatch]

woot.

[Maestro]

theo stop swimming against the tide and behave, what are you trying to do ...ruin our comedy club night?

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo gets one - good finish. Alexis makes it.

2-1

Can we scrape a draw against these glorified turds?

[Kano]

Officials have given us absolutely fuck all tonight.

[Slacker]

Theo gets one - good finish. Alexis makes it.

2-1

Can we scrape a draw against these glorified turds?

Plenty of time to win it. They're bricking it.

[Master Splinter]

Officials have given us absolutely fuck all tonight.

You're using this as an excuse!

[Master Splinter]

Giroud picked over Theo on the weekend then?

[Niall_Quinn]

Plenty of time to win it. They're bricking it.

Hopefully WUMger won't rush on and kick it in our net.

[Penguin]

Officials have given us absolutely fuck all tonight.

The referee's a fucking idiot and the linesman on the far side is blind.

Toss up between those two and Wenger for clown of the night.

[Maestro]

Officials have given us absolutely fuck all tonight.

we really haven't deserved to get anything from anyone tonight ....we haven't played any football

[Kano]

You're using this as an excuse!

It's been an heroic effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina fluked a save. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I like Gabriel.

[Kano]

we really haven't deserved to get anything from anyone tonight ....we haven't played any football

A master stroke by Wenger to get the team ready for the feeling after Saturday's game.

[Slacker]

Campbell :doh:

[Kano]

I like Gabriel.

Maybe you'll meet one day.

Dreams can come true.

[Maestro]

I like Gabriel.

rugged, old school, strong, cynical at times but very good CB imho ....no way per should be starting ahead of him

[Power n Glory]

Feo!!!

12 in 12 now.

He didn't start this game. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Maybe you'll meet one day.

Dreams can come true.

Well played.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get it in the mixer!

[Kano]

He didn't start this game. :lol:

That was just for you PnG.

Shit stat :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[Kano]

Free kick against Arsenal for jumping at the ball.

[Power n Glory]

That was just for you PnG.

Shit stat :coffee:

I'm sure. Shit player anyway. :coffee:

[Slacker]

Oh get up you twat.

[Power n Glory]

Debuchy has lost it. Terrible game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT. :haha:

What a bunch of clowns.

[adzzzbatch]

Well done Arsenal. Good form.

[Penguin]

Debuchy has lost it. Terrible game.

I blame him for the opening goal too

[Maestro]

masterminded by a manager out on bail

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Horrible performance and the sort of officiating that makes you suspect the ref has been paid off.

[Penguin]

Humiliation.

Again.

Thanks for that, Arsene :rolleyes:

:ilt:

[Kano]

I'm sure. Shit player anyway. :coffee:

Spot on. Couldn't even win us the game in the last twenty.

[Kano]

Who can even be arsed to start a match thread?

[Slacker]

I suppose at the end of the day AW should understand English teams get fuck all from Romanian refs in their manor. He clearly has lost the eye for the obvious. This shower we played tonight needed Cech in goal, Coq for Arteta, pace up front which should have included Ox and Theo. What's so fucking difficult Arsene???

[Penguin]

the sort of officiating that makes you suspect the ref has been paid off.

If he wasn't paid off he needs to get checked out by a professional. I didn't realise Uefa employ mentally challenged officials.

[RomfordPele]

So Wenger's tactical changes then:

Debuchy - shit and cost us a goal
Giroud - shit and cost us the game
Gibbs - shit and cost us a goal
Arteta - just so so shit.

Glad he's earning his £8m, or however much our supposedly tight-arsed board are giving him this year.

[Power n Glory]

Predicted Team

-----------------------Cech------------------------

Debuchy------Merts------Kos----Monreal

------------------Santi---Coquelin-------------

Ramsey-------------Giroud------------Alexis

I think Wenger may give Debuchy a game and he’ll rotate the strikers. He hinted that he’d rotate them and this might be the game he’ll try.

2-1

Wrong on the team selection but spot on with that score. :lol::trophy:

[Master Splinter]

He didn't start this game. :lol:

He scored a hat-trick here for England.

WUMger hates momentum. He destroys it on a weekly (or three-day) basis.

[Ralpheroo72]

3rd in our group! The Europa league dream is still alive :trophy:

[Power n Glory]

He scored a hat-trick here for England.

WUMger hates momentum. He destroys it on a weekly (or three-day) basis.

He scored a brace against them for us in CL qualifier as well. No idea why Wenger wouldn't want Walcott to sharpen up before the Chelsea game.

[alexander]

Know nothing about this opposition, but reckon we should be beating them into the dirt.

2-1 defeat.

should have put a bet on :doh:
