Arsenal v Manchester United, 4th Oct, 4pm, SS1

[Marc Overmars]

I really enjoyed that half of football.

[Kano]

How was that not a yellow?

[Niall_Quinn]

What's happened there?

Why isn't that a red card?

[A Gunner]

Should be 4, but happy with 3 - 0 and a big save from Cech.

Stupid defending towards the end of the half...:doh:

[Slacker]

How can a giant like Merts be out-muscled like that? Shocking. When is Kos back?

August.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 3-0

What a fun half of football to watch.

[IBK]

As it turns out - no.

:d:d

[LDG]

Fantastic. Best I've seen us play for a long time.

I love the pace.

Fucking rip em a new one second half. I want revenge!!

[IBK]

What can you say about this team?

[GP]

Quality.

Cazorla is a magician. Ozil is world class. Alexis is the best player in the country.

[adzzzbatch]

Cynical challenge on Alexis at the end there, goes unpunished of course.

[Power n Glory]

Wooo!!! What a half. Should really be 4. But I'll take 3. Fantastic performances from Ozil, Sanchez and Walcott on attack. Utd can't handle them.

[Letters]

Just seen the score :blink:
What the hell is going on?

[Kano]

Is it Fellaini time?

[selassie]

Yeah best I've seen us play in a long time, the transition from midfield to attack is a joy to watch, absolute world class attacking football! Ozil has been immense today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What can you say about this team?

[Globalgunner]

What is important now is that we dont go all defensive in the 2nd half. We are woeful at that shit. Hit them on the break and please no taking off Coq and replacing him with Giroud.

[IBK]

Seriously, I'd like to see some proper analysis on why we can turn it on on days like today but embarrass ourselves midweek.

[Master Splinter]

Should be 5-0.

Everyone playing well.

Coquelin is absolutely superb. He'll never get any media recognition until he makes a £45m move to PSG.

[selassie]

What is important now is that we dont go all defensive in the 2nd half. We are woeful at that shit. Hit them on the break and please no taking off Coq and replacing him with Giroud.

I think we'll score more, they can't handle our pace.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cazorla has played a beautiful balance between his offensive and defensive duties.

Ozil has pushed on and brought Alexis into the game superbly.

Ramsey and Theo doing great on the other side.

Bellerin superb both at the back (apart from one moment) and going forward.

We were hearing all that shit during the week about how great Darmian is, but Alexis has owned him.

Coquelin has quietly pocketed Carrick and Schweinsteiger.

Credit where due, Wenger has got this spot on. And van Gaal, in his supreme arrogance, has played right into our hands with his overly attacking set up. He assumed he was getting the points here. Ashley Young at full back :haha:

Now we can keep it calm and hit them on the break, snipe a couple more goals.

Hope the ref keeps a low profile - no game turning decisions please.

[Gooner23]

What a half!

Typically Arsenal to throw in some shoddy defending at the end to almost hand them a lifeline, but other than that no complaints at all.

Ozil and Sanchez different class.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm gutted Ramsey didn't get the 4th but I suppose you can't be greedy. Waited so long to give this lot a good kicking.

A near flawless half. Just need to be composed now and counter with intelligence, no need to invite unnecessary pressure.

Come on you Gunners!!

[selassie]

Seriously, I'd like to see some proper analysis on why we can turn it on on days like today but embarrass ourselves midweek.

Aye, when we play like this it's clearly a mentality issue when we face lesser teams, that first half performance was nigh on perfect IMO and goes to show that this team has some serious talent when everyone is on their game& focused.

[Munchies]

I'm gutted Ramsey didn't get the 4th but I suppose you can't be greedy. Waited so long to give this lot a good kicking.

A near flawless half. Just need to be composed now and counter with intelligence, no need to invite unnecessary pressure.

Come on you Gunners!!

:gp:

We haven't beaten them at home in like 5 years lol

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm gutted Ramsey didn't get the 4th but I suppose you can't be greedy. Waited so long to give this lot a good kicking.

A near flawless half. Just need to be composed now and counter with intelligence, no need to invite unnecessary pressure.

Come on you Gunners!!

Counter intelligence :bow:

[IBK]

Aye, when we play like this it's clearly a mentality issue when we face lesser teams, that first half performance was nigh on perfect IMO and goes to show that this team has some serious talent when everyone is on their game& focused.

Agreed. Amazing what focus can do. Almost like we needed this week'so debacle to find it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Let's NOT end the 90mins at 3-2 please :pray:

This is a chance to smash their confidence, we have to take it.

[Kano]

Redcafe in cry mode atm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia and Fellaini on, Darmian and Depay hauled off.

[Kano]

Fellaini on.

Thank you Van Genius!

[Niall_Quinn]

Redcafe in cry mode atm.

45 huge mins coming up and if we can repeat that half it's going to be one of those rare pleasures to settle back with a drink and some snacks and immerse myself in Red Cafe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fellaini :haha:

Now come on ref - you have a job to do so do it properly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Youngy goes for it, Cech saves.

[Slacker]

Fellaini looks tidy at the moment. I notice nobody's picking up so he's just wandering all over the pitch.

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah let's not completely stand off them ok?

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey doing escort duty on Young!. Get him off and put Ox on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin booked. :sarcy:

[Marc Overmars]

Clumsy Coq

[Niall_Quinn]

Hopefully we aren't going to try and coast 45 mins like this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

No booking for Carrick? :haha:

[Slacker]

Ref being a cheating cunt again.

[Niall_Quinn]

FOUL on Walcott - WTF?

And the that cunt Rooney demands the yellow and the ref obliges.

[IBK]

How was that not a card?

[Niall_Quinn]

Where's the card? There are RULES you know?

[Globalgunner]

No yellow for Carrick. these refs are shit. We need to beat them as well as Utd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil first strike hits the wall, second deflects behind.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking stream has died. Damn it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza booked. :faint:

[Munchies]

Fucking stream has died. Damn it.

Fuck Sky imo

[Globalgunner]

I genuinely think Rooney believes he is immune to yellow cards or any other colour

[Maestro]

just woke up

link please brethren?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

If not for the deflection, that was going in.,,...Arsenal are beasts to the man today......like TH14 said at half time we should start every game with the same attitude, intent you name it

[Niall_Quinn]

just woke up

link please brethren?

http://sporthd.eu/bthd.html

[Niall_Quinn]

We're very deep now. Has WUMger intervened to crush our enjoyment?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey really needs to find his composure again. When you think back to that goal a couple of season back against Norwish, he's lost that calmness.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pressing from Theo.

[Kano]

Rooney, a world class moaner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Whoever this version of Theo is, I want him to stay.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey clowning around.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Why does Ramsey think he is Messi :shrug:

[Niall_Quinn]

The fact Utd can even appeal for that show exactly what sort of club they are.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza shot, Cech saves.

Handball not given. :rolleyes:

[IBK]

Ref trying his best to let Manue back in.

[Slacker]

Just blatant fucking cheating from the ref now. Coq to get a red in the next 15.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[Niall_Quinn]

What's the theory here? We know we can destroy them, so we stop doing that and instead do this.

[Niall_Quinn]

No yellow? That's cheating tbf.

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey killing us with his general clumsiness.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - the ref has woken up.

[IBK]

What's the theory here? We know we can destroy them, so we stop doing that and instead do this.

Seems to be our way. Can't we see that if we maintain the tempo we have them sorted?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd going for the let's foul them tactic.

[Kano]

Wenger coaching :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wenger with tactics. :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

So that's about 5 yellows the ref has ignored now.

Wenger swapping Ozil wide :doh: Why can't we just do what was working?

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger with tactics. :faint:

Strange day.

[Kano]

Seems to be our way. Can't we see that if we maintain the tempo we have them sorted?

They've added an extra man in midfield and they're pressing us a lot more instead of just letting us stroll through. I expected a different second half and more of a reaction from Utd. We've defended well all over so I haven't got a problem with it so far.

[Niall_Quinn]

If this drizzles out into a 3-1 then that's still okay, but we could have ground these fuckers into the dust.

[Maestro]

In game proactive tactical changes by wenget, WTF have i died and woken up in a parallel universe????????

[IBK]

Yeah easy to ignore the other team's change.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

They've added an extra man in midfield and they're pressing us a lot more instead of just letting us stroll through. I expected a different second half and more of a reaction from Utd. We've defended well all over so I haven't got a problem with it so far.

But it was our tempo and precision passing that was killing them. We've slowed it down. It's silly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Let's not sleep.

[Marc Overmars]

Someone turn the auto pilot button off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata combs it wide.

[Globalgunner]

Seems we are determined to allow them score

[Slacker]

The problem is when we sit back, even the shittiest teams can slice through us like butter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini is just a wanker.

[Slacker]

And Fellaini's card still hasn't come...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well struck Özil, straight at De Gea though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger will risk not buying a striker, but he won't risk playing 90 mins against a team we've murdered in the first half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd like Ox and Bif on tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fellaini is just a wanker.

Not just any wanker though, a massive wanker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And they're coming on. :lol:

Theo and Özil off.

Özil. :bow:

[A Gunner]

Walcott & Ozil off
Giroud & Ox on

[Marc Overmars]

Well done Mesut.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

WTF how did Felliami not get booked? He was all over him and just knew what he was going to do......

And why are Sky commentators willing Utd to score
Theo off.....Giroud on for his weekly goal.....well done Theo

[Kano]

But it was our tempo and precision passing that was killing them. We've slowed it down. It's silly.

We had more space too, that allowed us to play our game. The midfield is far more compact and of course Utd are working far harder. I think we're fine.

[Slacker]

Ramsey should have come off. He's been poor today.

[Niall_Quinn]

The players don't like playing like this. You can tell. Alexis is half the player this half. Fucking, fucking dumb. And now he's bringing Theo off when he's played his best game in ages. Great for his confidence.

And Ozil gone too.

Even on a day like this WUMger can't help himself. He doesn't get the bigger picture. There's more than 3 points on offer here, it's not JUST about the 3 points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kokkianakis banged your girlfriend, hate to tell you that mate.

[Maestro]

two positive attacking subs WTF happened to Wenger???????????

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The players don't like playing like this. You can tell. Alexis is half the player this half. Fucking, fucking dumb. And now he's bringing Theo off when he's played his best game in ages. Great for his confidence.

And Ozil gone too.

Even on a day like this WUMger can't help himself. He doesn't get the bigger picture. There's more than 3 points on offer here, it's not JUST about the 3 points.

Nah it is against Man Utd. This is our biggest ever winning score against them under Wenget, I'm alright with this.

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey should have come off. He's been poor today.

Wenger did not see it.
Agreed. hes been woeful

[IBK]

We had more space too, that allowed us to play our game. The midfield is far more compact and of course Utd are working far harder. I think we're fine.

Its a combination really. Manure could not have continued being that shift, and we've taken our foot off the pedal. No point forcing it!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey with the pressure now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif's "pace" a little lacking there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nah it is against Man Utd. This is our biggest ever winning score against them under Wenget, I'm alright with this.

Kills momentum. I hate it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis off, Gibbs on.

[A Gunner]

Gibbs on
Alexis off

[Marc Overmars]

Alexis :bow:

[Maestro]

tight hammy for sanchez

[Niall_Quinn]

Here comes Gibbs for Alexis. I hope that's not really a groin injury for him.

Two outstanding goals.

We are totally defensive now. Fine provided they don't get a goal. But if they do then hold on to your arse with both hands.

[IBK]

This is petering out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata off, Wilson on.

[Slacker]

This ref is a fucking embarrassment. There should be songs written about him.

[Niall_Quinn]

This ref is a fucking embarrassment. There should be songs written about him.

Harsh. I think he's been Utd's best player this half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif scuffer, right at De Gea.

[Maestro]

let's hang on to the clean sheet please

[Niall_Quinn]

3-0 is what we need to go above them. So no stupidity please.

[Master Splinter]

Bif :doh:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Absolutely atrocious by Bif.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney. :haha:

How much?

[Globalgunner]

Giroud!..Cant help himself in a goal fest

[Maestro]

Giroud is second rate

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We'll race you back to London!

[IBK]

Manure are really a bit shit.

[Maestro]

3-0 is what we need to go above them. So no stupidity please.

exactly

[Niall_Quinn]

Shrek :haha:

a 1 in 1000 mega star.

1 goal in his last 1000 minutes. :haha:

Useless piece of shit.

[IBK]

Shrek :haha:

a 1 in 1000 mega star.

1 goal in his last 1000 minutes. :haha:

Useless piece of shit.

One of the most overrated players of recent times. IMO.

[Maestro]

COYG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This toiletbrush is ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's twice Martial has gone down and not appealed. Good lad.

[Slacker]

Fellaini tells ref to fuck off and still doesn't get booked. Fucking unreal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

2 extra mins

They really miss Fergie.

[Kano]

We're winning 3-0 against Utd and the plastics leave early :doh:

[A Gunner]

I think it's safe to say we've won!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox hits the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 3-0 Man Utd, FT!!!!

:bow:

Best defensive unit in the league. :haha:

Özil. :bow:

Alexis. :bow:

Gunnersaurus. :bow:

And everyone else. :bow:

[Kano]

Unlucky Ox!

[A Gunner]

3 - 0 FT

[IBK]

That's it. Well done Gunners!

[Marc Overmars]

Delightful.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're winning 3-0 against Utd and the plastics leave early :doh:

Saw that. Embarrassing. Guess they want to get a seat at the Cereal Bar

That's it FT 3-0

[Maestro]

Fuckin PERFECT

Well done boys and well done wenget

[A Gunner]

[IBK]

That's it FT 3-0

You crack me up mate! :lol:

[GP]

Saw that. Embarrassing. Guess they want to get a seat at the Cereal Bar

That's it FT 3-0

They'll never get on AFTV if they don't hurry.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis :bow:

Alexis :bow:

Ozil :bow:

Theo :bow:

Coquelin :bow:

Cech :bow:

Bellerin :bow:

Monreal :bow:

van Genius :haha:

ROOOOOOONNNNNEEEEAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHH :haha: What a piece of shit.

In the end it was too easy.

So if Utd were winning the title last week, does that mean we are winning it now?

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal :bow:.

LVG :haha:.

Shrek :haha:.

Gary Neville :haha:.

Roy Keane :haha:.

Pace :haha:.

Power :haha:.

Anthony Taylor :haha:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wonder what time Red Cafe will be able to take the strain?
