West Brom vs Arsenal. Sat 21st Nov. 15:00

[Marc Overmars]

Bellerin is available but Ramsey, Theo and Oxlade remain out.

West Brom are not very good, if we find our rhythm quickly it should be pretty straight forward. Though its post-international break, so it will probably be a slog.

1-2.

[AFC Leveller]

Draw written all over this. We usually come back slow after the international break, West Brom are decent at home as well.

[fakeyank]

Wouldnt start Sanchez for this. Play Gibbs there.

[GP]

0-3

[Niall_Quinn]

Easy win. If we turn up.

Easy win if we don't.

0-3 Ozil hattrick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin back, happy days.

[Munchies]

Alexis started for Chile this week, he's probably fooked

1-1

Exactly the sort of game I can see us losing 2-1 too though

[Bumble]

Back to winning ways but Sanchez needs a rest either in this game or the CL game in the week. He should not play both games. Bellerin back but no Ox, Ramsey yet. Maybe another week for them. West Brom are one of those teams that can look tricky on paper and we play like that or we dominate and win. We play well, we win. 3-1 to us.

[selassie]

With a full strength XI I think this would be a routine 3 points, we're decimated with injuries though so I think we'll drop points, 1-1.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Draw written all over this. We usually come back slow after the international break, West Brom are decent at home as well.

No they aren't, lost four out of six at the Hawthorns this season

Only beaten Pulis managed side once away from the Emirates in five attempts though, so draw would be my bet....so if liverpool can nick a draw from city (who didn't exactly look convincing against norwich or villa) not the worst thing in the world.

Walcott not back for a few weeks (February at earliest), Ox and Ramsey back for the home game against Zagreb....Bellerin back

[Master Splinter]

Need to get an early goal against these pubbers, or else they'll filth one in from a set-piece after having about four touches. Alexis can't stay quiet forever, surely.

1-2.

Subs: Ospina, Debuchy, Gabriel, Arteta, Flamini, Jeff, Campbell

[Marc Overmars]

I like that he's gone with Gibbs rather than say Flamini to make us extra conservative.

At least Gibbs should be able to help out at both ends of the pitch.

[adzzzbatch]

Please don't fuck up the chance to go top :pray:

[Munchies]

LW Gibbs :bow:

[Munchies]

Not able to watch the game but COYG

[Marc Overmars]

Come on you Gunners!

[adzzzbatch]

Our French contingent singing La Marseilles :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Good to hear the away boys in full voice

[adzzzbatch]

That was shocking defending.

[adzzzbatch]

Bellerin :doh:

[up the arse]

any links at all?

[adzzzbatch]

Coq injured...

[adzzzbatch]

any links at all?

Have a look on www.stream2watch.co

[Master Splinter]

Coquelin out for the next two seasons?

[Master Splinter]

Coquelin going off. :rose:

[adzzzbatch]

Coq off.

Arteta coming on soon

[fakeyank]

Coq is one of our most important players. It'll be Ozil and Sanchez next..

[adzzzbatch]

hope mineral is ok now!

[Marc Overmars]

Coq injured FFS. :doh:

[Munchies]

Ffs

only one outfield player :doh: :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

OOOOOOOO

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis looking good.

[adzzzbatch]

We're looking a bit flat.

[adzzzbatch]

Shit corner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Coq injured :haha:

Who next?

Missed Arteta's sideways game tbf.

[adzzzbatch]

Cazorla has been poor.

[A Gunner]

0 - 1
Giroud, Ozil assist

[Master Splinter]

BIF!!!!!!

Ozil assist again :bow:.

[adzzzbatch]

YEEESSSSSS

[Kano]

Giroud 1-0

[Niall_Quinn]

Stream died just as we scored. Was it decent? Who scored, Bif?

[GP]

ANOTHER Giroud goal! :bow:

ANOTHER Ozil assist! :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil assist?

[adzzzbatch]

Ozil assist?

Who else?

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Stream died just as we scored. Was it decent? Who scored, Bif?

Free-kick from wide, glanced header. Easy. Although Bif usually makes the easy ones look hard.

[Globalgunner]

Gibbs trying to replicate his 1 in a thousand strike against the Spuds

[Kano]

Anyone with a right foot would've done better with that.

[Master Splinter]

Bellerin booked.

[adzzzbatch]

Dive.

[A Gunner]

1 - 1

[Master Splinter]

FFS.

[adzzzbatch]

FUCK OFF

[Kano]

Well that was shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Tragic defending

[adzzzbatch]

Softest goal you'll ever see

[adzzzbatch]

Absolutely shite.

[Master Splinter]

Oh FFS.

:doh:

[adzzzbatch]

What a bottle job

[up the arse]

Stream died just as we scored. Was it decent? Who scored, Bif?

do you have a link?

[Globalgunner]

Arteta!!!!. Doing what he does best, passing sideways into our net

[adzzzbatch]

Go fuck yourself arteta

[Niall_Quinn]

That's unbelievably poor by Arteta. WTF????

[Kano]

Wow

[adzzzbatch]

A chance to go top and we fuck it up spectacularly

[Niall_Quinn]

Fallen to pieces since our goal. Joke.

Refs booking our guys for Pulis style fouls. Not booking Pulis' guys though. Are we being booked for copyright infringement?

[Master Splinter]

Clattenburg has turned into Mason.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off mertesacker

[Marc Overmars]

Welcome back Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll still win this if the defence agrees to give up their self harming routine.

[Niall_Quinn]

The way Merts gets beaten in the air you'd think he was 5 feet nothing.

[Munchies]

oh FFS we're now losing?

FUCK

[Munchies]

oh FFS we're now losing?

FUCK

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal 2-1 Arsenal HT

[LDG]

Is anyone really suprised? Except for Letters?

[Marc Overmars]

Lets just hope Coq isn't dead long term.

Old Man Arteta is just an elder statesman now. No business being on the pitch.

[Globalgunner]

Is anyone really suprised? Except for Letters?

Leave Letters out of it. He predicted at the start we wouldnt win the league, so challenging for it is progress

[Globalgunner]

The way Merts gets beaten in the air you'd think he was 5 feet nothing.

Jumping is not part of the Merts repertoire. He just leans like the tower in Pisa

[Kano]

Is anyone really suprised? Except for Letters?

I am, given we were 1-0 and while not exactly carving them open, West Brom hadn't even had a shot on our goal. We've just handed them the game. We'll get a draw at least out of this.

[Master Splinter]

I am, given we were 1-0 and while not exactly carving them open, West Brom hadn't even had a shot on our goal. We've just handed them the game. We'll get a draw at least out of this.

Exactly. But everyone obviously expected Arteta to have a brainfart because these things are so common as Arteta literally plays every week. Same old different Arsenal.

[rodders]

A return to the Arsenal we know, lots of possesion in second half and concede another goal

[Ernesto]

Wasn't this supposed to be the game where both Walcott and oxlade-Chamberlain returned? That's what Wenger said after the Sheffield Wednesday debacle.

I'm getting tired of this shit.

[Master Splinter]

Fuck off post!

[adzzzbatch]

Ooooioooooo

[Kano]

Unlucky Ozil

[adzzzbatch]

Arteta injured :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Arteta going off now! :haha:

8 injuries. :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

Scores an own goal then goes off injured :haha:

[Kano]

Arteta off :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

What happens if we don't have 11 players left fit? Do we have to forfeit the games?

[Marc Overmars]

Ridiculous. :haha:

[adzzzbatch]

Should've had a pen.

[Master Splinter]

We have one genuine central midfielder fit.

Flamini :bow:.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off gibbs

[adzzzbatch]

Alexis :bow:

[Master Splinter]

We should be leading now.

[adzzzbatch]

Merts is shit

[fakeyank]

MOVE THE FUCKING BALL!!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Begs the question why we didn't bring on Flamini for Coquelin to begin with

Rather than the ponderous spic

[Globalgunner]

Merts is shit

Don`t tell Wenger. He`ll never believe you.

[adzzzbatch]

Shocking defending

[Globalgunner]

Begs the question why we didn't bring on Flamini for Coquelin to begin with

Rather than the ponderous spic

Wenger is prob worried that if we fluke the league Arteta might not play enough games to bag a medal

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Wenger is prob worried that if we fluke the league Arteta might not play enough games to bag a medal

I don't think he has to worry about that

[adzzzbatch]

Flamini :doh:

[fakeyank]

Wenger is prob worried that if we fluke the league Arteta might not play enough games to bag a medal

We cant even fluke the league :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil is turning into an almost decent player. If he keeps improving he'll be right up there with Cesc and Azzah.

[fakeyank]

Every motherfucker bar Sanchez needs to be castrated.. playing like its a friendly. Cunts!

[adzzzbatch]

FFS ARSENAL!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell coming on. Risky. The rate we get injuries it would be better to hold back on the last sub.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs off.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm off to have a shower and my pack my bag.

When I come back it will be 2-3. You read it here first.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm off to have a shower and my pack my bag.

When I come back it will be 2-3. You read it here first.

Why are you watching the Swansea match?

[Master Splinter]

Campbell :doh:.

Fucking hell.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off campbell

[Niall_Quinn]

What a miss by Campbell :doh:

[Kano]

Campbell proving everyone's faith in him.

[Globalgunner]

Campbell is crap. asks for the ball, gets it and is not prepared for it. Idiot

[adzzzbatch]

Sell him he's shit

[Niall_Quinn]

How is that their throw FFS?

[Kano]

Rather than the ponderous spic

Classy from you as always

[adzzzbatch]

Kos :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Amazing escape. Almost done there.

[adzzzbatch]

How fucking Lucky is that

[Globalgunner]

Wenger is always trying to prove to the world that average players are actually WC players. You cant win this league with 4 WC players and 15 average players

[Kano]

Jesus that was close.

[adzzzbatch]

I can't see a way back in this, not against an organised defence kike this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Are we trying to lose this?

[LDG]

This one had wenger written all over it boys. It's been coming for weeks.

[Niall_Quinn]

New record for us - first team to make Brunt look decent.

[Niall_Quinn]

England and Liverpool legend Ricky Lambert on to barge one in I suppose.

[Xhaka Can’t]

This one had wenger written all over it boys. It's been coming for weeks.

He never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

[up the arse]

He never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

the most dangerous of games for us.........winable!

[LDG]

He never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Judge him at the end of his contract ffs.

There are signs that this is a different kind of fuck up.

[Globalgunner]

Judge him at the end of his contract ffs.

There are signs that this is a different kind of fuck up.

This contract or the new one that been signed but not announced. 2020 FFS!

[Niall_Quinn]

Well at least we only picked up 2 injuries. Could have been a lot worse.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pen?

YAY!!!!!!

[Kano]

F lifeline

[Niall_Quinn]

Looked soft as shit but we'll take it. Must score!

[adzzzbatch]

FUCK OFF

[Niall_Quinn]

Straight over the bar.

When we fuck up we do it in style.

[Master Splinter]

Just fuck off.

Cazorla you useless moron.

[Marc Overmars]

Jesus Christ.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off Arsenal you useless twats

[Xhaka Can’t]

You're kidding me.

[Kano]

Sweet baby Jesus :doh:

[Globalgunner]

Its Ok. we deserve F-all from this game.
Back to the safety of 4th place

[Niall_Quinn]

Jesus Christ.

We almost signed him.

[Master Splinter]

This must be a pre-planned WUM from everyone involved.

[adzzzbatch]

Pathetic.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Sweet baby Jesus :doh:

We could do with him as our physio.

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell out of his depth against WBA :doh: Panic play.

[Kano]

Someone needs to put Campbell down.

[Kano]

We could do with him as our physio.

Turn Walcott into fine.

[Niall_Quinn]

90 almost up. 4 mins extra.

[adzzzbatch]

This is probably the start of the collapse.

[fakeyank]

Same shit, different season. Cant wait to hear about progress of this team.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

This is probably the start of the collapse.

The start?

Getting stuffed by Bayern and outplayed by Spurs not enough to be considered a collapse

[Niall_Quinn]

Two shitty crosses from Bellerin :doh:

[A Gunner]

2 - 1 FT

Gave away goals

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off Arsenal

[Marc Overmars]

FT

What a balls up

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 2-1

What a fuck up.

If you look back at the last few games we're on a shitty, shitty run of form right now. Right at the crucial time. Same old.

[Master Splinter]

That game was a wrong'un in every way.

[Niall_Quinn]

Went 1 up, all that remained was to go 2, 3 and 4 up against a pretty average side. Instead the defence went and did their thing. We beat ourselves. Even the ref chipped in to try and give us a hand but we fucked that up too.

We're behind van Genius' average, average Utd :haha:

BUT... 72% possession :bow:

[LDG]

Same old.

[milla]

Scores an own goal then goes off injured :haha:

Quick, give him a new contract. :coffee: :wumger:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

No we don't think this is a side that has lost four out of six games at home, we think it's a side managed by Tony Pulis so it would be illogical and uncharacteristic to do anything but capitulate.
Doesn't matter if we control the game from start to finish, doesn't matter if we are given a golden chance to equalise from both Joel Campbell and Santi Cazorla, we have to be true to our principles and lose to a side we would have put four or five past easily with competent strikers.

AW - Manage your squad, both in terms of injury and mentality and if you can't do that fuck off

[rodders]

No excuse for this ,Wenger out.
