Arsenal v Dinamo Zagreb, 24th November 2015 19:45.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd quite like us to remember how to win a game tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

We should play Ospina for this one.

[Kano]

We'll win this, fall short in Greece and enter the Europa League. Looking forward to it.

[fakeyank]

Please lose this game :pray:

[Bumble]

We will win this and win 1-0 in Greece to come so close. The team probably be the same as the weekend with Flam instead of Coq. The only adjustment could be Campbell for Gibbs but I would play Gibbs as he is more likely to score.

Think Ramsey is back at the weekend.

[Niall_Quinn]

We will win this and win 1-0 in Greece to come so close.

You should have posted that in a spoiler tag in case Letters reads this thread.

[Letters]

We usually only do that trick in the knock out stages.
It would be nice to mix it up a bit by doing it in the group stages this time.
Keeping it fresh :cool:

Ramsey is still out? Any mention of OX or is he still 2 weeks away? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey is back for this one.

[Munchies]

Hope we lose

we won't win by 2 in Greece

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah another defeat is just what we need ahead of a league game.

[Munchies]

Yeah another defeat is just what we need ahead of a league game.

Play the reserves.

Treat it like a reserve game.

Playing on Thursdays with a Sunday league fixture straight after won't help in our league games would it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's not until February though and be realistic, we aren't going to be playing the reserves.

[fakeyank]

Play the best team possible.. lets try to ensure Ozil, Santi and Sanchez get injured too. It'll be comical to see all the 'new signings' coming back from injury by April.

[Kano]

Play the reserves.

That's the attitude of a professional, big club - bottle a game and embarrass ourselves further against a minnow team at home. That will go down well with the fans. Spurs seem to be coping with the fixtures. Weds/sat, no difference.

[Letters]

Please lose this game :pray:

There's that winners attitude I'm lacking ;)

[fakeyank]

There's that winners attitude I'm lacking ;)

:haha: :haha:

You want Europa league? You want Thursday nights of shame? I am looking at the bigger picture... we cant let pointless European matches derail our quest for 4th place trophy.

[Letters]

:haha: :haha:

You want Europa league? You want Thursday nights of shame?.

No. We can still qualify from the group. I want that. :good:

[fakeyank]

No. We can still qualify from the group. I want that. :good:

#winnersmentality

Would you go to a gun fight with a kitchen fork? CL is a gun fight and we do not have the personnel and most importantly a half decent general (AW) to even mount a decent fight.

Even though our general will do anything and everything to make sure we lose the kitchen fork fight, I'd rather we concentrate our efforts on the something more realistic..

#realistmentality

[Letters]

Good winners mentality :good:

[fakeyank]

Good winners mentality :good:

Wenger is rubbing off (not literally) on me.

[Letters]

I agree the nightmare scenario is finishing third by the way.
But it's not that unrealistic we can qualify, that would surely be better for morale so while we still can I'd rather do that.

[Munchies]

Okay, I've changed my mind yet again.

COYG.

Ffs Arsenal

[fakeyank]

Cech hattrick

[Niall_Quinn]

[Maestro]

keep it updated on here please, currently have little to zero emotional investment to bother watching

[Munchies]

keep it updated on here please, currently have little to zero emotional investment to bother watching

I'll put it on in the hope that we can finally play well and get revenge on these cunts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They fielded a drug cheat, should get those points back tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

keep it updated on here please, currently have little to zero emotional investment to bother watching

You know you'll watch.

[Master Splinter]

Reckon we'll give them a good beating.

Cazorla scoring :haha:.

[Munchies]

Loads of match streams here

http://www.ronaldo7.net/video/sports-live/sports-live-stream.html

scroll down

HD ones tend to get taken down, hopefully they won't tonight though

[Niall_Quinn]

Really nice feed here - Stream 1 - hope it lasts

http://www.stream2watch.co/sports/soccer/arsenal-fc-vs-nk-dinamo-zagreb-live-stream-november-24

[Niall_Quinn]

Cazorla scoring :haha:.

You heard it here first (if he scores)

Otherwise I'll deny everything.

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi!!! Doesn't score :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Shoot earlier FFS!

[Munchies]

ooff alexis

took far too long on the ball, was a good move

[Penguin]

Campbell's started well

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil has been magnificent so far. Everything decent going through him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi needs more care with his passing. Bloody sloppy, lack of concentration.

[Munchies]

sanchez loses the ball very easily then wins it back

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis :bow:

[Munchies]

'Good news for Arsenal'

Let's get the win here first before we start talking about Greece :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Good speed, good coverage by Monreal.

[Munchies]

Does Bayern winning by 5 or 6 have any effect or is it solely down on our game (should we win here tonight)

[Munchies]

Another good move

Looked like Campbell got in Giroud's way

We'll win this

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif????

Trap - shoot? Silly theatrics not required.

[Munchies]

Koscielny breaking down a good counter move :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible cross by Ozil - WTF?

[Niall_Quinn]

Even worse cross by Bellerin - WTF?

[Niall_Quinn]

Irritating. Final ball has gone to shit now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crazy challenge by Flamini :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OZIL!!!!

[Munchies]

OZIL!!!

[Munchies]

DIVING HEADER

what a goal!

[Niall_Quinn]

That is an absolutely amazing goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

THAT'S the football we want to see. Just great fun to watch.

[Munchies]

THAT'S the football we want to see. Just great fun to watch.

The way the space was created :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref started very well, now he's reverted to default ref plonker mode.

[GP]

That was good.

[Munchies]

SANCHEZ!!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Alexis 2-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!

[Munchies]

MONREAL is a god!

what an assist

[Niall_Quinn]

No sitting back - go for more. We are shit at sitting back, regardless of what the smart play is in the CL. Keep pressing high, keep the tempo up, get more goals. Best form of defence for us.

[fakeyank]

Europa :ilt:

[Slacker]

About time the ref started punishing these sly sneaky fouls. You can guarantee he'll book an Arsenal player first.

[Letters]

Europa :ilt:

Winners' attitude :bow:
We're good enough to beat Olympiacos by a couple.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cameras panning over a half empty stadium. Is something good on TV tonight?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut didn't want a second.

[Munchies]

holy shit Ozil

nearly 3

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil - close. He's ripping it up tonight.

[Niall_Quinn]

In some ways we're not missing Arteta's sideways passing.

[Kano]

So that's Europa sorted.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ooooooh - Ozil. Great move.

[Niall_Quinn]

They can't clear Santi on the corners :haha: He's barely as tall as the grass.

[fakeyank]

Winners' attitude :bow:
We're good enough to beat Olympiacos by a couple.

We were good enough to not have lost to them at home either..

[Munchies]

OZIL is the best player in world football right now

[Munchies]

We were good enough to not have lost to them at home either..

:haha:

:gp:

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 2-0

Could have been 4 or 5

Zagreb are no mugs, this is a good performance. When this team comes out in the right frame of mind they are fun to watch.

Ozil has run the show.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Dynamo Zagreb solid and hard but fair tacklers, some of our passing been a bit over cooked at times but we scored two nice goals capping off pacey well executed moves.
Not taking any risks at the back, Bellerin look especially assured
Only way we don't have this game in the bag is if we become sloppy and complacent

Than hopefully orchestrate a Greek tragedy...

[Niall_Quinn]

Good discipline from Campbell tonight. In the first few seconds he got dragged infield but since then he's stuck to the flank and always been on offer. Much better from him.

[Letters]

We were good enough to not have lost to them at home either..
It's almost as if you can't tell football results before the start of the game :o

[Niall_Quinn]

2nd half ready to go. More of same please. No taking foot off the gas or applying little bit handbrake.

[Niall_Quinn]

Santi!!!!!! Doesn't score :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif!!!!!! Doesn't score either :doh:

[Kano]

Wouldn't make a difference. This win and Bayern winning guarantees Europa qualification. If you mean us losing that is.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great battling. Like a different team to the one that played Saturday.

[Niall_Quinn]

Zagreb showing they can play a bit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin vs Pinto - like the Olympic 100m final.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cech gets a touch :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell - unlucky.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsey coming on. Bit weird. Is he needed?

Yellow for Monreal.

[Slacker]

Shock first yellow for Arsenal...

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif will be subbed. Very strange.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif off, Ramsey on.

:bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif off, Ramsey on.

:bow:

Difficult one to comprehend.

So Alexis goes central? Ramsey wide?

The balance was already okay. Bif didn't need a rest. Ramsey is just back and not match fit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ALEXIS!!!!!

:bow:

[Slacker]

Great assist from Campbell.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh WOW!

What a goal.

Alexis scores it but superb from Campbell.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rio will be a bit upset. Bang goes his theory that Alexis is a has-been.

[Slacker]

Superb from Cech.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fluke effort well saved by Cech.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis controls it on the back of his shoulders :bow:

[Slacker]

Ref doesn't give an obvious pelanty.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dive, ref doesn't buy it.

[Niall_Quinn]

But that's A DEFINITE pen for us. Alexis dragged down.

[Niall_Quinn]

But that's A DEFINITE pen for us. Alexis dragged down.

Not given btw.

[Niall_Quinn]

Debuchy and Chalmers coming on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Zagreb goal ruled out correctly. Offside.

Bellerin off, Santi off.

Debuchy and Chambers on.

Poor old Alexis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky Mesut.

[Munchies]

Sanchez has scored 34 goals since he joined Arsenal.

[Niall_Quinn]

So close to being a great 4th. Alexis and Ozil again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 3-0 Dinamo Zagreb, FT. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

We were up for that one. Solid win, nice goals. Some bloke called Ozil who I have never seen before was pretty good.

All set up for a 1-0 win in Greece :doh:

[fakeyank]

Where was this intensity against West Brom? Cant understand how the same set of players looked so shit on Saturday! :unsure:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

It wasn't good enough but the difference in the team we were facing obviously had something to do with it.
