Spurs v Arsenal - League Cup Third Round - 7:45PM - Sky Sports 1

[Munchies]

Coquelin should hopefully be back for this according to the Mirror

Let's hope Merts is also back for this.

Must win game.

[Niall_Quinn]

I would imagine, in my fantasies, Wenger will learn the lesson that fielding a weakened team doesn't mean much if the players you saved don't do the business.

So I expect him to field a weakened team and lose.

[Marc Overmars]

Don't really give a shit about this competition but added pressure to perform here seeing as it's Spurs. Need a big win.

1-2

[Ralpheroo72]

Spuds to pull out, then jizz in our faces

[LDG]

Couldn't give the fuckiest of fucks

[Munchies]

The fallout if we lose will be slightly amusing tbh :lol:

[Injury Time]

Couldn't give the fuckiest of fucks

I'm one one :meh: level lower than that. As for "fielding a weaker team" do we have one given we're not exactly slaying the opposition? Spufs to win this match as their only "cup" of the season, wonder if WUMger will buy the DvD...

[Injury Time]

The fallout if we lose will be slightly amusing tbh :lol:

Only if it affects share prices tbh :coffee:

[rodders]

I predict Spurs to win 3 nil. But Arsene to feel we were unlucky.

[Niall_Quinn]

I get the distinct impression nobody cares. About a cup derby. Commercialism and the inevitable outcome. 20 years ago - massive. 10 years ago, yeah okay. Today, who gives a fuck?

[Xhaka Can’t]

If we got knocked out by the likes of Port Vale, the Sky hype machine would go into overdrive, but I wouldn't care.

But because it's the Spuds, I do care. But nowhere near as much as I should.

[adzzzbatch]

I predict the 3rd loss on the bounce.

[Kano]

It is going to be horribly, horribly shit if we don't win this. We're on a downer, Spurs the opposite. Not looking good. Time to stand up and be counted.

2-0. Kane to be knighted for learning to speak.

[Marc Overmars]

Coq is out.

BFG returns.

[Niall_Quinn]

Coq is out.

BFG returns.

Little bit niggley knock? Back in 2 weeks? Don't need to sign a midfielder, Arteta can play there also?

[Globalgunner]

Where is Rosicky when you need him.

[Globalgunner]

Little bit niggley knock? Back in 2 weeks? Don't need to sign a midfielder, Arteta can play there also?

Every person on this blog (except 1 probably) predicted this could/would happen. What will happen to our season if his 2 weeks turns out to be 2 months?.

[Dein-machine]

its exactly what happens when fuckwit takes the momentum out of the team by losing games due to his tactics. If we had played our normal team with Theo up top we would have beaten Zagreb but that loss adding pressure to the Chavs fixture.
He has done this time & time again.
Don't care what team he plays - I am "all out" of care whilst this idiot is in charge.

We will lose.

[rodders]

Wenger is 5years behind the times tactically in fact sometimes I wonder whether he is aware of tactics at all.

[Kano]

Where is Rosicky when you need him.

Dead. Or out of action until next year apparently. You couldn't make this shit up. well you could but that would be shit.

[Kano]

Wenger is 5years behind the times tactically in fact sometimes I wonder whether he is aware of tactics at all.

tiptaps are all sewn up, tactics not so much.

[Munchies]

Gabriel is free to play this game

[Injury Time]

Gabriel is free to play this game

Can he kick out at Wenger?

[Niall_Quinn]

Gabriel is free to play this game

BFG probably swerved off the road when he heard the news.

[Injury Time]

BFG probably swerved off the road 3 week after he heard the news.
it's funny cos he's slow

:getcoat:

[Niall_Quinn]

it's funny cos he's slow

:getcoat:

Rolled in neutral off the road then.

[Munchies]

BFG probably swerved off the road when he heard the news.

:lol:

COYG :scarf:

[Syn]

The thing with rotating is - it's hard to know what full strength and what's weakened. That's because our supposed best - Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez are playing like retards. Are we really weaker with Roslcky instead of Ozil or Ramsey? Theoretically, yes. In reality, probably not.

Grow a pair of balls, Mesut.

[Letters]

3-0 Kane hat-trick.

I should care more, as it's the Spuds. But it's the Hokey Cokey cup, or whatever it's called now, and I'm struggling to be that interested.

[Syn]

Hasn't scored many goals this season but Kane is actually a good footballer. Wonder when the top sides will realise it.

Also don't really care about the result today but we lost the game that mattered so they need to win the easier game today to not risk some boo's that might cause them to wipe their tears away with £50 notes.

[Kano]

If fans aren't that bothered, the players better be. We need a reaction. Especially with Leicester away to come.

I never want to lose to Spurs. They are a team we should always beat but it won't be easy tonight.

[Marc Overmars]

Us? React?

The team will play as if they're facing Halifax Town tonight.

[Syn]

Even a 'half-strength' Arsenal team with Rosicky and Debuchy walk away with a win today. As long as they want it enough. Itll be a tough atmosphere and its Tottenham's cup final. I suspect we'll be OK, for some reason. Tottenham haven't got enough players for which the NLD matters. Nor do we, but ours are better footballers.

[Letters]

I heard rumours he's putting out a fairly strong side which gives us a chance.

[Injury Time]

I heard rumours he's putting out a fairly strong side which gives us a chance.

Not sure if serious.

[Syn]

Oh well, nevermind. :rolleyes:

Unlucky, the away support.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham: Vorm, Trippier, Fazio, Wimmer, Rose, Carroll, Dier; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend, Kane.

Subs: Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Winks, Alli, Clinton, Son

Arsenal: Ospina, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Campbell, Giroud.

Subs: Macey, Bellerin, Monreal, Ozil, Alexis, Iwobi, Theo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Both teams playing some junk.

[alexander]

Campbell. Hope he takes his chance....

[Munchies]

Arteta - Flamini midfield :lol:

Anyways, COYG :scarf:

[Munchies]

Where's Rosicky??

[KSE Comedy Club]

I heard rumours he's putting out a fairly strong side which gives us a chance.

It would seem that the strength you speak of is the smell of shit.

[Power n Glory]

Arteta - Flamini midfield :lol:

Anyways, COYG :scarf:

Arsenal, Flamster and Rambo as our trio. Be prepared for a lot of uninspired passing and give aways. If we don't attack the wings and try to go down the middle, we're screwed.

[Kano]

I'm glad Alexis is on the bench. He needs a break.

[Kano]

Where's Rosicky??

Out until next year apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I hope N_Q doesn't get wind of the team until we've won.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tell him WUMger!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Problems with our discipline say Sky. :lol:

[Kano]

I'm liking your confidence. Arteta and Flam kinda says otherwise.

[adzzzbatch]

Problems with our discipline say Sky. :lol:

:haha: jokers

[Munchies]

Ah damn, cheers for that. He'd be pretty useful instead of Arteta in the middle lol

[adzzzbatch]

I really hope there are no "power shifts in North London" tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm liking your confidence. Arteta and Flam kinda says otherwise.

We've been pub in midfield no matter the players this season, I have faith in this.

Mindless Optimism. :bow:

[Munchies]

Solid stream http://hdfree.tv/footy/hd4.php

Hopefully it doesn't get taken down lol

[adzzzbatch]

WTF Star Wars?

[Kano]

Erikson up front? Their line up is pretty pont too tbh.

[Munchies]

Flamini's last League Cup game was 8 years ago against Spurs

[adzzzbatch]

Thank god tyler has let me know that it's live, I never would've guessed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey in the pub.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tekkers from Carroll.

[adzzzbatch]

COME ON ARSENAL!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Offside Kane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyler having a laugh at the racist ref.

[Munchies]

Same ref who mixed up Gibbs/Ox

Lols

[adzzzbatch]

Same ref who mixed up Gibbs/Ox

Lols

Don't you know they all look the same?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is very sedate compared to our usual opening matches with the Spuds.

[adzzzbatch]

Giroud lives offside.

[Kano]

Rip roaring start.

[adzzzbatch]

Campbell :doh:

Giroud :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why didn't Campbell control it?

Although, why didn't Bif connect properly?

[Master Splinter]

Campbell :doh:.

[adzzzbatch]

That should be 0-1

[Power n Glory]

Awful attempt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers judged that well.

[Munchies]

:doh:

[Power n Glory]

Good defending from Chambers.

[Power n Glory]

Campbell has been lively. I'll give him that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can Tyler stop rambling on now?

[adzzzbatch]

fucking useless at the back needless corner

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rose crosses it on the run, Gibbs and BFG clown around, it bounces up on Gibbs and goes for a corner. :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off flamini

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers is obviously a centreback. I really don't want to see him at fullback again.

[adzzzbatch]

:sleep:

[adzzzbatch]

"sit down you paedophile" again :rolleyes:

[Kano]

Can Tyler stop rambling on now?

They're not exactly causing a distraction on the pitch tbf

[adzzzbatch]

come on giroud ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FLAMINI!!!!!

:haha:

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

[Kano]

Flamini!

[adzzzbatch]

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!

[GP]

:lol:

[Master Splinter]

FLAMINIIIIIIII!!!!

:haha:

[Munchies]

MAN LIKE Flaminiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!

[adzzzbatch]

He nearly skied it as well :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Thank fuck for Ox, eh? The only guy today who has briefly remembered what football is.

[Power n Glory]

Ox with a great shot. Flamini did well to follow up.

[adzzzbatch]

gibbs :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just let Rose do what he wants, he'll fuck it up anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

Thank fuck for Rose, eh? Still trying to get that second fluke of his career.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QED.

[Master Splinter]

Debuchy is rubbish.

[adzzzbatch]

stupid from arteta

[Kano]

Surprised it wasn't a red at this rate.

[Kano]

Debuchy is rubbish.

Up against Rose. Junk against junk. Who can sink the lowest?

[Niall_Quinn]

Looked like a very painful slight brush of a boot. Good writhing. Yellow for Arteta.

[Maestro]

What's the score boys
I'm out drinking at Jose., so pliz

[adzzzbatch]

ouch campbell

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bye Campbell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flamini with his customary booking.

[Kano]

Flam had to get booked. It's enshrined in the laws of the game.

[adzzzbatch]

flamini picks up his booking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ohhh Ox!

[adzzzbatch]

chamberlain :doh:

[Kano]

Both Flam and Arteta on yellows. Ten men second half?

Ox :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

What's the score boys
I'm out drinking at Jose., so pliz

1-0 Flamini and you're not missing a thing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Debuchy booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox?

[Kano]

When Rose is constantly doing you, it's time to sub yourself.

[adzzzbatch]

Ref is very card happy.

[Niall_Quinn]

Both Flam and Arteta on yellows. Ten men second half?

Ox :doh:

Would have thought so.

Debuchy seems to be the favourite. Somehow he's slower than Merts today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane. :lol:

Weak shot from Eriksen.

[Kano]

At least Campbell is giving it his all.

Tyler ready to cream over Kane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane whacks it across goal.

Horrific pass from Ramsey.

[Kano]

Anyone remember what happened with the goal twenty minutes ago? Just shoot for crying out loud, see what happens.

[Power n Glory]

Ramsey needs to do better than that. Direct counter from his blind passing.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 1-0 Flamini

Wow. Long time since I have seen two teams that poor.

[Globalgunner]

Every player in this team except OX is primed to pass the ball when in the box rather than shoot. What the f was Ramsey doing there. Passed sideways to no one at all.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another stellar performance from Bif.

[Niall_Quinn]

Every player in this team except OX is primed to pass the ball when in the box rather than shoot. What the f was Ramsey doing there. Passed sideways to no one at all.

Yes, but it was sideways.

[Kano]

HT 1-0 Flamini

Wow. Long time since I have seen two teams that poor.

Guess you missed the mega Derby yesterday. Glorious first half in particular.

[Syn]

Tottenham will do well to finish in the top half of the table.

[Letters]

1-0 Flamini and you're not missing a thing.

That. Poor game all round.

[Globalgunner]

Im pretty sure there is a fine system in place at the club for people who shoot instead of pass. Ox will prob have to forfeit his match fee.

[adzzzbatch]

We would be in trouble if sp*rs could finish.

[Master Splinter]

Fazio is all over the place. Take one of the Old Men off, stick Theo/Iwobi up there and just run at him.

[Globalgunner]

Seems harry Kane forgot to pay his dues to the Devil this season

[Kano]

Fazio is all over the place. Take one of the Old Men off, stick Theo/Iwobi up there and just run at him.

Monreal on for Ox.

[adzzzbatch]

Monreal on for Ox.

You joke...

[Niall_Quinn]

Giroud really has to do a lot better than this. He's out for a stroll today.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS! Thank fuck for that!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Kane.

Blind old Tyler didn't realise somehow.

[Kano]

Kane :lol:

Debuchy is a liability.

[Niall_Quinn]

Kane seems to think he scored. But he was wrong.

[adzzzbatch]

Are we actually going to get going this season?

[adzzzbatch]

Chambers isn't really progressing at Arsenal.

[Master Splinter]

Campbell doing a decent Welbz impression in terms of work rate.

[Master Splinter]

Chambers isn't really progressing at Arsenal.

Chambers has been fine.

[Kano]

Townsend is a fraud of a winger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers cuts out Rose's cross.

[adzzzbatch]

Chambers has been fine.

He doesn't feel me with a lot of confidence, neither does Debuchy!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Townsend shot, easy for Ospina.

I miss Welbeck's Lovely Smile. :(

[adzzzbatch]

Fucking Ox

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox boots it out of play.

[Kano]

Chambers has looked solid the past couple of games.

[Master Splinter]

Ox doing the Messi to Townsend devolution in 10 seconds again.

[Master Splinter]

Chambers has looked solid the past couple of games.

Time for him to go to right-back.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another case of premature ejaculation from Ox. Potentially a great player, just needs to calm it all down a bit.

[adzzzbatch]

FUCK OFF

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Chambers OG. :doh:

[Kano]

As I was saying...

[adzzzbatch]

2-1 on the cards now.

[AFC Leveller]

Own goal chambers

[Master Splinter]

Poor Chambers.

[Niall_Quinn]

What's the point of letting Bif stroll around the pitch for 90 mins? Bring Theo on and let him get some of that game time under his belt.

What is Wenger's PLAN for this season? We still don't know who our #1 striker is. Does he?

[adzzzbatch]

Dickhead.

[Kano]

Ospina should've called for that

[Injury Time]

Are we actually going to get going this season?
Next season we're lacking little bit sharpness this one due to er no one available

[Letters]

Why did we sell og? :doh:

This is such a poor game

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh fucking hell.

Why the fuck did we sell Owen Goal?

[adzzzbatch]

We've been utter shit ths half.

[Master Splinter]

Debuchy is literally worse than shit.

[adzzzbatch]

Get Giroud off for a start and bring Walcott on, he can't do any worse.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's time for Wenger to step up to the plate and do nothing.

[Injury Time]

What's the point of letting Bif stroll around the pitch for 90 mins? Bring Theo on and let him get some of that game time under his belt.

What is Wenger's PLAN for this season? We still don't know who our #1 striker is. Does he?
Wenger said he has to "share" number one striker with Theo, seems both are number two's.

[Munchies]

:doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Spud crowd has finally arrived. Was there a delay on the trains?

[Kano]

seems both are number two's.

Got that bit right at least

[Niall_Quinn]

seems both are number two's.

Little doubt about that.

[adzzzbatch]

awful corner. STOP BEING SO SHIT ARSENAL

[Injury Time]

Spud crowd has finally arrived. Was there a delay on the trains?

You know they get scared on the trains where they have to mind the gap*.

*although the gap is like trying to seperate two lots of the runs...

[adzzzbatch]

FUCK OFF DEBUCHY!

[Globalgunner]

Our first choice strikers are worse than every other teams 3rd choice. Its pathetic

[adzzzbatch]

No one better than Giroud :haha:

[rodders]

In self destruct mode again!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Extra time in the offing, no sub until the 80th minute.

[Niall_Quinn]

Extra time in the offing, no sub until the 80th minute.

72mins

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleared off the line to deny Kane!

[Kano]

Thank fuck that didn't go in

[adzzzbatch]

Only a matter of time now :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs save the day, or the minute at least.

[Kano]

Alexis must be embarrassed to join in with this rabble

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Townsend off, Son on.

Campbell hauled off, Alexis on. :faint:

[adzzzbatch]

Where is the fight in this lot?

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis is coming on. It's pathetic. If he's not going to get a proper rest then why not start a proper team and win the game?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why Ramsey, why?

This guy just can't engage his brain on when is the right time to shoot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weak shot from Rusty Alexis.

[Globalgunner]

Thank fuck that didn't go in

We would never have heard the end of it. Right up there with Giggs goal in 99 they would say

[Niall_Quinn]

I guess that's why we don't shoot.

[Master Splinter]

Alexis :doh:.

[adzzzbatch]

I guess that's why we don't shoot.

Didn't need a striker....

[Kano]

Jesus that Kane chance was close. Wouldn't be worth watching football for a week if they went in.

[Master Splinter]

Will they release a DVD of Kane's scissor kick?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run Bif, shoots but Vorm saves with his feet.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Just read the thread. I'm guessing it isn't going well.

[Letters]

Alexis is coming on. It's pathetic. If he's not going to get a proper rest then why not start a proper team and win the game?

:doh:

You were moaning just now that Wenger wouldn't do anything

[Kano]

Will they release a DVD of Kane's scissor kick?

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful Ox.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane bashes the steel steps.

[Munchies]

Giroud :doh:

FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina trolling.

[Kano]

Just read the thread. I'm guessing it isn't going well.
I'm not sure we're a barometer of anything sensible. Just a bunch of mongs flapping on the net.

[adzzzbatch]

Ospina.......

[adzzzbatch]

I'm not sure we're a barometer of anything sensible. Just a bunch of mongs flapping on the net.

What ya on about!? We're fucking awesome.

[Injury Time]

Alexis is coming on. It's pathetic. If he's not going to get a proper rest then why not start a proper team and win the game?

He's never taken that approach, kill off a team job done sub player for a rest, it's always dick around struggle then risk an injury through sub warm up, just needs to fuck off.

[adzzzbatch]

no pen?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Bif, pretend the ball was some girl in your hotel room; you'd reach them.

[Niall_Quinn]

:doh:

You were moaning just now that Wenger wouldn't do anything

Yeah, the player everyone agrees needs a rest is the one he brings on. Meanwhile we still don't know what blackmail material Giroud and Bif have in their possession.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chadli off, Aldi on.

BFG and Opsina having fun. I'm not.

[Kano]

What ya on about!? We're fucking awesome.

True. Awesome mongs.

[Niall_Quinn]

no pen?

Was a dive. Felt hands on him, dived. Like everyone else does. Don't like it but the game against the chavs has shown we need to get down and dirty with the rest of them.

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kano]

:lol: Flamini :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FLAMINI!!!!!

WHAT A GOAL!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo ready to come on. Who will he take off? Ospina?

[GP]

What?? :lol:

Top finish, that

[Master Splinter]

FLAMINIIIIIII!!!!

:haha: :haha:

[Power n Glory]

Flamini!!

[Letters]

Yeah, the player everyone agrees needs a rest is the one he brings on. Meanwhile we still don't know what blackmail material Giroud and Bif have in their possession.

1-2

[alexander]

you guys are fucking kidding right?!

[Kano]

Stick him upfront Wumger

[Niall_Quinn]

Always said Flamini was a great player. Now he proves me right.

[Munchies]

OMG :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Theo ready to come on. Who will he take off? Ospina?

Flamini.

[Marc Overmars]

:haha:

[Injury Time]

True. Awesome mongs.

I'm sure 98% type with their faces and NQ is a clever dick...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

1-2

Remind me where the goalposts are today. Is it the result or the performance that's most important?

[Injury Time]

Stick him upfront Wumger

Shooting without permission, he'll rot in the reserves until next Crapital Cup round*

*assuming we don't fuck it up or he gets shot by the ref for looking at him funny.

[Kano]

I'm sure 98% type with their faces and NQ is a clever dick...

Too easy.

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooooo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox smashes it but across goal.

[Injury Time]

Too easy.

Cheeky, need at least one beer first ##

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dier off, N'Jie on. :unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis is a fucking awesome player. He puts Bif to shame.

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis is a fucking awesome player. He puts Bif to shame.

So has flamini tbf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alli shoots, easy for Ospina.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref :doh:

Alexis keeps his feet, the spud dives and gets the FK. That's why players dive, because honesty doesn't pay.

[adzzzbatch]

waste of shot from Debuchy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Debuchy fancies his chances from miles out. Goon.
