Arsenal v Bayern, 20 October 19:45 kick off

[AFC Leveller]

We can win this if we turn up and start at a high tempo like we did against Man ure and against Bayern a coupe of seasons ago where we Ozil missed the pel. However, we look like a pub team in the CL this season and Bayern are no pushovers, they will come with a lorry load of confidence and quality.

In an ideal scenario, id rest the big boys and forget about the CL this season, we are not going to qualify, if we do qualify, we'll flop at the first hurdle. We also dont want to play in the Europa league and in this case finishing bottom is better than 3rd.

head says 1-3, heart says 3-1.

[Niall_Quinn]

If Robben is playing then I hope Coquelin two-foots him into the face and snaps his neck then whips his dick out and pisses on his corpse.

If he's not playing then I hope Coquelin goes around his house after the game and does the same.

[GP]

3-0

[AFC Leveller]

If Robben is playing then I hope Coquelin two-foots him into the face and snaps his neck then whips his dick out and pisses on his corpse.

If he's not playing then I hope Coquelin goes around his house after the game and does the same.

I read somewhere that Robben and Ribery would both be back for this game.

[Marc Overmars]

Not overly bothered about this anymore but a big win would be nice though. It's been a while since we beat one of the elite teams in the CL.

[Niall_Quinn]

[Kano]

We need to put our best team out and go for this and I think we will.

You can't effectively throw two high profile games against opponents of this calibre and expect it not to have an impact on the rest of the season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If we get a pelanty, don't let Özil take it.

[AFC Leveller]

I could rest a little bit Ozil and Sanchez and we have of course to put pace into this game and play against a big team, but we know we have proved ourselves in the Champions League. We want to make something special against Bayern Munich as it is the only way we can keep in the race.

[Kano]

If he rests either of those two players (or Cech) the guy is an absolute fool. Hopefully he is just trying to place some doubt in Bayern's set-up for this game.

Whether we have lost our first two games, face an extremely difficult job of getting the required 4 points minimum from these two games and most likely won't win the CL isn't the point here. Ozil, Cech and Alexis didn't come here to sit out games against the best teams in Europe. They didn't come here thinking we are a club that throws in the towel at ANY point in the CL. If (and it is still an if) either of those three players are 'rested' Wenger is making life extremely difficult for himself. It would create the worst type of image about where we see ourselves as a club to any other target of substance we approach in the near future. It would put the whole focus of the season onto the league, meaning anything but winning it will see Wenger vilified from every angle.

Now of course, a team without one or two of those players might do the inconceivable and turn over Bayern at our place, but the likelihood of doing that is a lot smaller and if the gamble didn't pay off, the damage a lot greater than just our best eleven losing one game.

[Marc Overmars]

The campaign has been embarrassing enough, we need to play the best team we can and at the very least give ourselves a fighting chance of going through.

Then there is also the prospect of the Europa League and whether it's worth qualifying for that...

[Kano]

Added to the fact it will probably be our highest profile game of the season at the Emirates and one that doesn't come cheap for fans. Two games against Bayern was the only exciting thing to come from our group draw, so to undermine ourselves and stick two fingers up at excited fans wanting to see us pitted against the best around would take the piss.

As for the Europa League, the format is crap but it's something we shouldn't look down our noses at. A few years back we would've been happy beating Brum to win the League Cup. A Europa is certainly more distinguishable than the FA Cup in the modern game. Some very good teams have won the trophy over the years and Chelsea didn't look too depressed when they won it recently. Added to the fact we haven't won a thing in Europe for 20 years and our overall history is pretty poor there. That has to change if the club want to be taken seriously as an 'elite' club. I don't think a Thurs/Sun split is any different to a Weds/Sat game and I think there is only one more round of games than the CL. Wenger hasn't won a thing in Europe and should value this competition. If he puts out a weaker team against Bayern and we do end up in the Europa, then I think it's safe to say he won't.

[Niall_Quinn]

What's the criteria for qualifying for the Europa League? We have to avoid this at all costs. We can kiss our season goodbye if we end up in that joke of a tournament. Thursday night trips to Timbuktu, we'll be fucked.

[Kano]

Finishing third in the group puts us into the Europa.

[Niall_Quinn]

None of the permutations look good for us. Only way out is to beat Bayern. Therefore only option is to pick the strongest team. If he picks Ospina again then fuck that shit.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I think pitch invasions are the kind of things nit wit scum
Bags who should be banned for life do, however if we rest Cech, Ozil or Sanchez for this game than I think it could be justified

[Niall_Quinn]

Apparently Robben is not playing :patrice:

This doubles our chances, not because he's a good player (which he is) but because he's a fucking scumbag cheat.

[Marc Overmars]

Ospina is injured. :lol:

Martinez to be recalled then?

[Bumble]

We are playing with confidence, so this could go one of two ways... we can go out blitz them like we did United or Bayern school us and we are all glum again. I actually think we are going to going win this. Wenger always gets win when it absolutely matters achieving the bare minimum. 2-1 Sanchez double.

Only selection who to play up front Theo or Giroud... I would go Theo.

[dostoy]

Our defence has got to be absolutely amazing for us to win this.

If we can keep a clean sheet then we have a chance.

We will lose though 0-2.

[fakeyank]

For the sake of sanity, we need to lose this. Anything other than last place in the group is a shot in the heart for us. Just get this bothersome tournament out of the way and make a decent push for the league title. My only hope is that we dont get humiliated in the games.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I don't see why we are so snooty about the Wafer cup..... I know it takes about 38 games to win it but I think we are banking on winning the league a little too much and we have only got near winning the CL once in near enough 20 years.

Take the games seriously and let the chips drop where they may. If we end up in the avoidatallcosts cup, then that is our level. Moreover we've never won it and it give us a place back in the nevergoingtowinit cup if we do.

[Munchies]

1-0

COYG

:scarf:

[Kano]

We're owed a big night at the Emirates. The last one was when, Barcelona, 4 and a half years ago?

I think we'll do it tonight, 3-2 - depending on the team picked of course.

[Marc Overmars]

I think we'll get a result as well, probably not a clean a sheet though.

2-1 or 2-2.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're owed a big night at the Emirates. The last one was when, Barcelona, 4 and a half years ago?

I think we'll do it tonight, 3-2 - depending on the team picked of course.

This is where we could have done with that top tier striker. I'd be confident going into this with Henry in his prime up front. Don't think Bayern will be too nervous about Theo and Bif.

[Globalgunner]

Really hope Wenger picks Gabriel ahead of Merts for this. The thought of Merts struggling against Lewandowski, Goetze and Costa cannot bear thinking.
Its not just a myth. Merts is Sloooooow.

[Niall_Quinn]

Really hope Wenger picks Gabriel ahead of Merts for this. The thought of Merts struggling against Lewandowski, Goetze and Costa cannot bear thinking.
Its not just a myth. Merts is Sloooooow.

Gabriel had an op last I heard. Doubt he'll be back for a while.

[Munchies]

Wenger said Gabriel is fine for the game

Link > https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/656072355538685953

He trained the other day too

Let's hope he starts

[Kano]

This is where we could have done with that top tier striker. I'd be confident going into this with Henry in his prime up front. Don't think Bayern will be too nervous about Theo and Bif.

Theo they might be. I remember Barca being pretty worried about his pace years back. It all depends on what Theo shows up - not just in terms of work ethic but competency wise. It's all well and good scaring their back line with speed but if his control has gone to shit or if his aim is off, then we'll just waste prime chances you can't afford to against this sort of opposition.

[selassie]

This one is a write off for me. Bayern are levels above anything in PL and from what I have seen of them this season are the best team in Europe/CL by quite some distance.

Think we'll get convincingly beaten 2-0.

[selassie]

Our defence has got to be absolutely amazing for us to win this.

If we can keep a clean sheet then we have a chance.

We will lose though 0-2.

Yep, that's my thoughts too, they will cut through us like a knife through butter. The whole back 4, Cech and Le Coq need to be playing out of their skins if we are going to get anything out of this.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Up until three years ago we actually had good champions league record at the Emirates, only lost one game in first six seasons there.
Now we've lost six out of last thirteen games at home and it's actually our away form (dynamo Zagreb aside) that's improved.

Really don't expect anything from tonight's game, Bayern are my tip to be Champions League winners....and putting ourselves in a position where we have to win means they will pick us off on the counter.

0-2 Lewandowski and Muller

[Heisenberg]

Hard to see anything other than a Bayern win, tbh.

[AFC Leveller]

same team as the last two games, lets do these german mugs.

cech
bellerin
merts
kos
montreal
cazorla
woq
ozil
theo
sanchex
ramsay

[Munchies]

COYG

[Power n Glory]

2-2 draw. Sanchez and a Walcott to score.

[adzzzbatch]

kane is nothing like lewandowski :rolleyes:

[Kano]

He's picked the right team for this. So at the very least we can go down fighting.

[AFC Leveller]

i can see us starting off with pace and creating chances but you do feel Bayern can hanle this type of occasion.

[Niall_Quinn]

No to racism.

Corruption? Yes please!

[adzzzbatch]

Bayern fans are protesting aren't they?

[Master Splinter]

Hope for a draw at least so it doesn't derail our momentum too much.

6-1. Bellerin with all six.

[adzzzbatch]

not the best start :lol:

[Kano]

Promising start...

[Niall_Quinn]

Merts :doh:

Seriously? We're dead if he's going to play like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Munchies]

Ffs he just ran through us lol

[adzzzbatch]

ooooo well done bellerin

[Niall_Quinn]

Good play but we can't afford to be offside tonight.

[Munchies]

TOp HD stream if needed

http://footsy.ml/

not ustream or anything, so hopefully it won't get taken down easily

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off ref!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bayern fans have decided to grace us with their presence.

[adzzzbatch]

lewondoski being a diving twat

[Niall_Quinn]

Bayern fans have turned up then. Our lot are clapping them.

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooooooooo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neuer saves from Özil.

[Master Splinter]

FFS!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil :doh:

Can't afford to miss those.

[Munchies]

Ozil close!

Hit it high ffs

[adzzzbatch]

Bayern fans have turned up then. Our lot are clapping them.

Do they all want medals or something?

[Maestro]

we can run that bayern defence ragged if we really stepped it up

[Niall_Quinn]

Do they all want medals or something?

No, I think they wanted the British taxpayer to subsidise their tickets, same as in Germany.

[Maestro]

lewondoski being a diving twat

need to be on our guard, seems he's been instructed to cheat today

[adzzzbatch]

No, I think they wanted the British taxpayer to subsidise their tickets, same as in Germany.

They should stay outside until they happens then.

[adzzzbatch]

Cech!! big save!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves from Thiago.

[Munchies]

we got torn there lol

[adzzzbatch]

we're being schooled atm

[Maestro]

ramsey always has a brainfart in him, guaranteed

[Niall_Quinn]

Thank fuck for Cech.

But really, we're laying off these guys far too much. They have way too much space and they are very, very good on the ball.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref is starting to be a twat.

[adzzzbatch]

Ref is starting to be a twat.

He has been from kick off

[adzzzbatch]

It might be an idea to stop kicking the ball back to them.

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll concede a lot tonight if we keep it this sedate.

[adzzzbatch]

ref :rolleyes:

[Maestro]

established now, ref's a cheat as usual. as if it wasn't hard enough to beat munchen

[adzzzbatch]

we're sitting off way to much!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done BFG.

[Kano]

Good to hear our fans being dominated at home by the away section too.

[adzzzbatch]

we can barely keep hold of the ball

[Maestro]

are we interested in getting the ball? looks like we're afraid of the damn thing!!!!! press these fuckers ffs

[Niall_Quinn]

Can't keep the ball for more than one touch.

[adzzzbatch]

Well this is embarrassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douglas Costa cross, Cech pushes it behind.

[Maestro]

is this sitting back a tactical instruction from wenget, because if not he needs to stand up and have ago at the troops to get a fucking grip asap

[adzzzbatch]

ref didn't want to give that fk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

poor cross

[Niall_Quinn]

We have zero confidence tonight. You can see it in every touch.

[adzzzbatch]

Walcott not hit hard enogh

[Kano]

Nice back pass from Theo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo shot, fairly simple for Neuer.

[Niall_Quinn]

OH FFS! THEO! :doh:

[Maestro]

theo ffs, tekkers son tekkers

[adzzzbatch]

cunting ref!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref's a right fuck. He's not going to let us get a tackle in tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lewa. :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

fucking ref.

[Maestro]

We have zero confidence tonight. You can see it in every touch.

literally scared of bayern, and our precarious bottom of the group position does not help at all. we're more frightened of losing than we are fired up to win

[adzzzbatch]

this cunt!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref has bought Vidal's playacting hook line and sinker. Incompetent twat.

[Master Splinter]

Ref is an utter cunt.

You're not allowed to tackle Barca or Bayern players.

[adzzzbatch]

poor ball from alexis

[adzzzbatch]

we'd be fucked without cech

[Niall_Quinn]

Passing game is nowhere. Therefore we are nowhere. We are such a confidence based team. When we don't have it we are pubbers. We need something to break for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves from Vidal.

Thiago. :lol:

[Maestro]

start catching them tech, you have busy night tonight mate

[adzzzbatch]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ffs walcott

[Maestro]

we'd be fucked without cech

thank fuck ospina is injured

offs sort it out theo!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thought Theo was in, silly me.

[adzzzbatch]

alexis would've buried that

[Niall_Quinn]

Lazy Theo tonight, so far. Alexis had to run past him chasing that.

Can't shoot for toffee Theo tonight, so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neuer. :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

FFS!!!!!!!!!!

[fakeyank]

Shit Theo turned up today, just like 80% of the games he plays in.

[Munchies]

Neuer :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis sends it out the Universe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pain in the arse with the streams tonight. The shyster lawyers must be out in force protecting the grubby cunts who own the game now.

[Master Splinter]

Alexis :doh:.

[Maestro]

gosh boys come on!!!!

[adzzzbatch]

Terrible that was.

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis having a poor game so far

[Maestro]

fuck off ozil, don't give it away like that

[adzzzbatch]

Just 68 passes lol

[Niall_Quinn]

We're hiding.

Probably in for a hiding too.

[adzzzbatch]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[adzzzbatch]

fucking nuer

[Kano]

Geez, that keeper.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey rubberlegs. :doh:

[Maestro]

unreal, how did we not score there

[Master Splinter]

Ramsey :doh:.

[Power n Glory]

What a fucking save.

[adzzzbatch]

What a fucking save.

not as good as seaman's :coffee:

[Niall_Quinn]

That is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Fucking ridiculous.

That's 1-0 99.9999999999% of the time.

But a terrible, terrible miss from Theo. You cannot miss like that at this level.

[Maestro]

ozil appears to be playing for ze germans

[adzzzbatch]

The fans have woken up

[adzzzbatch]

oooooooooo COME ON ARSENAL

[Kano]

Theo's come alive in the last ten, since we've started pushing forward.

[Munchies]

my stream went down too NQ :lol:

Using those non-hd ones for now

[Master Splinter]

We're the more dangerous team and have had the 3 best chances. Should be 2-0.

[adzzzbatch]

stupidly offside

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooooo Walcott :doh:

[Maestro]

theo you have way to go son

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why does Theo do that?!!!

[GP]

FFS Theo, how many chances do you want??

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh come on! Decent striker required in January.

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooooo we're looking good going forward!

[Niall_Quinn]

Totally fed up of Theo now. He doesn't have a fucking clue.

[adzzzbatch]

COME ON ARSENAL!!!

[Maestro]

It's not Theo's fault, he's just not top tier quality. Trying his best but he has limited ability.

[Niall_Quinn]

We should be 2 up by now. Can't afford to be powder puff in the final third.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's not Theo's fault, he's just not top tier quality. Trying his best but he has limited ability.

He needs 10 chances to get a goal. We can't live with it.

See, he's done it again :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

Fucking hell

[Kano]

Don't ruin our good work with passes like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't do that guys.

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger should get an air rifle and shoot them when they misplace a pass. That way they will be more scared of him than they are of Bayern.

[Penguin]

Merts wtf are you doing?

[Munchies]

Cech :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis is pissing me off now.

[Kano]

Bellerin is getting an absolute pasting from Costa so far.

[Maestro]

He needs 10 chances to get a goal. We can't live with it.

See, he's done it again :doh:

That's the price we now pay, but we all saw this coming so no shocks there

[Niall_Quinn]

Bayern reminding us that despite their great football, they are fucking slimy cheats.

[Power n Glory]

Relax guys. Theo and Alexis are giving them trouble and something to think about with the counters. It's just a shame they are the only players that can shift gears up the pitch so quickly. Ox may be needed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Not bad.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin is getting an absolute pasting from Costa so far.

Yeah. He's on toast right now. Ramsey isn't in the game at all.

[GP]

Tell you what, we should be winning this.

Theo has been pathetic. If he thinks he's going to get better chances than that against this sort of opposition then he's sorely mistaken.

A bit more clinical 2nd half and we can have them.

[Power n Glory]

Bellerin is getting an absolute pasting from Costa so far.

That guy is a beast. He needs help from Ramsey or we should just get Ox on to give them something to think about down that side.

[Kano]

I can live with that. We knew Bayern would have far more of the ball, not quite understanding why we are letting them pass through us so much but there will be more chances to come. Theo needs to sharpen up. And if someone can kill Neuer we've got this.

[AFC Leveller]

solid first half, had 3 really good chances that we simply cannot waste. we look dangerous on the break through Theo, Alexis and Ozil. Bayern are a top side and will open us up at some point its hard to chase the ball all game and keep your concentration going.

Dat save doh...

[GP]

Dat save doh...

Weak header, shouldn't even be giving Neuer a chance.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

We should be winning this but Theo Walcott has been beyond dreadful. All huff and puff but zero end product. And then when he gets an open goal he blows it. That's why you have the top tier striker. You get the chance and bang, no questions, it's a goal.

Coquelin has done Wenger's job for him. He pulled the defence together and dropped a bit deeper to help them. That has made it harder for Bayern to slice through us.

[Kano]

Yeah. He's on toast right now. Ramsey isn't in the game at all.

Because we're sitting off them, he's coming inside, so a simple ball out wide to Costa leaves Bellerin isolated. He's learning all sorts of lessons tonight he wouldn't come close to in the PL.

[adzzzbatch]

I'm pleased with the threat we're poising going forward, at least we're giving them something to thing about and on balance we've had the better chances.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Good on the counter brought two excellent saves from Neuer, Bellerin needs help dealing with Costa....we have kept Lewandowski quiet but still too passive letting them weave pretty patterns through us....need to get in their faces more....early ball distribution when we've won back possession has been generally good.

[AFC Leveller]

Costa is a beast, wow. So good on the ball, fast, strong, tricky and scary to face.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil should have gone high with that early shot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo :doh:

Right in front of goal. Unmarked. Unpressurised. Ball arrives right on his head. It doesn't ever, ever, ever get better than that. That's the miss of the season, not the save of the season.

[GP]

Michael Ballack is a dickhead.

And in fairness, that's quite some feat when you're sat next to Rio Ferdinand.

[Power n Glory]

You ungrateful fuck ups. :lol: You had this game written off and wanted us to roll over and die. Theo's giving them problems and causing havoc. Far from a pathetic game just not pitch perfect. But you can't fault the effort.

[Kano]

Alexis a lucky boy with that handball.

[Munchies]

Weak header, shouldn't even be giving Neuer a chance.

That's what I was thinking, take a touch, and smash it to the other side of the cunt

[Niall_Quinn]

You ungrateful fuck ups. :lol: You had this game written off and wanted us to roll over and die. Theo's giving them problems and causing havoc. Far from a pathetic game just not pitch perfect. But you can't fault the effort.

You need a little bit more than effort at this level.

At least we have come back into it, mainly because Santi and Ozil have found a way to supply some ammo. But Alexis has been off the pace by his standard and there's no excuse for Theo, you have to do better with the chances he's had. One plus is if he keeps up his 1 in 10 ratio and we can get maybe 4 or 5 more balls into him he might get a goal. And then the infuriating thing is he'll finish like Henry.

[Globalgunner]

Theo is pants. No team in the top half off the PL would play him as a striker and of those other teams, maybe 3

No striker in Jan means no hope

[Kano]

That's what I was thinking, take a touch, and smash it to the other side of the cunt

Have you seen Theo's touch?

Header could've been better but given the pace, against nearly every other keeper around, that would've gone in.

[Power n Glory]

Alexis a lucky boy with that handball.

Yeah, he's been hit and miss but hope he gets it right. We're working them on the counter. Need to keep it up and cut out the mistakes. A couple of wayward passes from a Sanchez could have cost us too. But I like the energy. We're giving them a game.

[Penguin]

I'm pleased with the threat we're poising going forward, at least we're giving them something to thing about and on balance we've had the better chances.

Yep, I'm kind of shocked we've had so many chances tbh. I wonder if we'll get as much in the second half though... Bayern look like they have another gear if they feel like getting into it.

We need to be more clinical. Theo with a couple of chances, Alexis from that corner... we can't afford to waste those <_<

[Master Splinter]

We've had bigger and better players than Theo miss sitters in huge games. It's an Arsenal constant.

He should do better, but some of the reactions on here are idiotic.

Ozil needs to do more and Alexis needs to cut out the sloppiness. Monreal brilliant again.

[Munchies]

Ozil, Sanchez and Theo have missed some good chances but most fail to mention that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Owen Goal was almost in there.

[Kano]

Alonso the cheeky fucker :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil, Sanchez and Theo have missed some good chances but most fail to mention that.

Theo's the striker. He can't be defended for that first half. He can do us a favour and make amends the second half.

[adzzzbatch]

coq got taken the piss out of there

[Niall_Quinn]

The passing errors would make you scream. Against Bayern FFS!

[adzzzbatch]

keep the fucking ball ffs

[adzzzbatch]

It's like we're deliberately giving the ball straight back to them

[Maestro]

COYG

[adzzzbatch]

FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves from Lewa. :bow:

[Kano]

Good save.

Bayern were always going to get chances but we're making it too easy for them at times.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douglas Costa goes for a shot again, Cech saves.

[Maestro]

cech makes you wonder how in the hell ospina was played in those two opening CL games

[adzzzbatch]

Ramsey is fucked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey's hamstring. :rose:

[Maestro]

ramsey down, ox on please .....sign from god to wenget?

[Kano]

Ox to be the hero.

[Power n Glory]

Rambo with another hammy.

[Niall_Quinn]

How has Wenger started Ospina in the previous 2 games? Criminal.

[Globalgunner]

Ramsey off, hopefully for Ox and not Arteta

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey off, Ox on.

[adzzzbatch]

how many months is he gonna be out for?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck. Ramsey gone. He wasn't doing much offensively but we'll be a lot more open without him.

This is a big decision for Wenger now.

[Master Splinter]

Big game. Lose a player.

[Maestro]

How has Wenger started Ospina in the previous 2 games? Criminal.

sackable offence that was, but hey ho

[adzzzbatch]

book him!

[Niall_Quinn]

It's Ox. Good decision.

Provided Ox is ready to do some serious work.

[adzzzbatch]

ooooooooo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin smacks it, wide.

[Maestro]

better from ozil

[fakeyank]

Wenger again forced into the best starting XI due to injury of Ramsey. Jesus and Allah must love this man.

[adzzzbatch]

Ozil quietly getting on with his job tonight

[Maestro]

just keep ox away from own 18 yard box

[Niall_Quinn]

Coq shoots. Sort of.

[adzzzbatch]

monreal has been solid

[adzzzbatch]

FFS!!! caught in possession again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis, what are you doing?

[Power n Glory]

What the fuck Sanchez?

[Kano]

Alexis been pissing around with the ball in our own half too much.

[Globalgunner]

Wenger again forced into the best starting XI due to injury of Ramsey. Jesus and Allah must love this man.

Buddha quite fancies him too i guess

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis has been bad tonight :(

[Maestro]

we really are asking for a smacking tonight, the way we keep giving them the ball

[Niall_Quinn]

Of all the games for Alexis to forget how to play.

[adzzzbatch]

living dangerously now....

[Penguin]

Alexis does that a lot when he has the ball in our half. Love him but he needs to sort that out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muller smacks it out of play for some reason.

[adzzzbatch]

all progress made at the end of the first half has been wiped out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Training game for Bayern now.

[Maestro]

COYG we have survived 63 minutes, let's smash and grab this

Training game for Bayern now.

Pretty much.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso can just keep fouling.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsene's Eleven.

[Maestro]

very poor first touch by theo, almost every single time

[Kano]

We need to find an out ball from this pressure. We came out in the last twenty of the first half but we're walking a tight rope act at the moment.

[AFC Leveller]

if ever there was a sly player who makes foul ater foul while looking innocent, its Alonso. such a clever thug.

[Maestro]

Arsene's Eleven.

theo is our very own sammy davis jnr

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Santi. Come on Ozil. Pick a pass!

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger has to push Alexis up. He's too deep. Take a risk. 0-0 does fuck all for us.

[adzzzbatch]

Arsenal fans wake up again.
