EFL Cup, 3rd Round: Nottm Forest v Arsenal, Tuesday 20th September, 7.45pm

[Kano]

Time for the second stringers to stretch their legs.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Given our relative lack of injuries thus far (Shad and the Japanese bloke :bow:) we'll see a lot of first teamers start I guess.


Ospina

Debauchy
Holding
Gabriel
Gibbs

Elneny
Xhaka
Ramsey (if fit)

Lucas
Giroud
Ox

[Kano]

I think The Jeff will get a start. I hope so anyway. Ox can sit it out.

[Marc Overmars]

Henri Lansbury is the Forest captain. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

3-0, Dennis Bendtner hat-trick.

[Letters]

Ve Vill Vin EFL :scarf:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Always had a soft spot for Forest even though I've never even been to Nottingham. Probably the Brian Clough connection

1998 last time we played them if I recall?

Keown scored the only goal

[Kano]

We'd still be playing in baggy white vests and rolled up trousers if it wasn't for them.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

We'd still be playing in baggy white vests and rolled up trousers if it wasn't for them.

Thought it was notts county before they went to black and white vertical stripes and not forest we copied

[Kano]

Some ex forest players turned up to join with those kits on and because we were broke we decided to copy. Always pleading poverty.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I wonder how many of us would be spurs fans if we'd never made the journey from Woolwich

[dostoy]

Play the boys team and if we lose its a good thing.

Just get rid of it.

[fakeyank]

Lucas should play the 90 minutes.

3-0 loss.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ospina, Debuchy, Holding, Bielek, Gibbs, Elneny, Ramsey, Geoff, Perez, Ox, Giroud

[dostoy]

No first teamers should be anywhere near Nottingham tomorrow night.

If/when we get injuries in this match it should not affect the first team at all.

Very much hope Arsenal lose this one.

[Marc Overmars]

Gabriel could be back for this.

Giroud and Ramsey still out.

[GP]

Martinez
Debuchy, Gabriel, Holding, Gibbs
Xhaka, ElNeny
Jeff, Ox, Lucas
Akpom

[Niall_Quinn]

No first teamers should be anywhere near Nottingham tomorrow night.

Very much hope Arsenal lose this one.

I think Wenger will have similar views. He doesn't value anything that doesn't have a significant cash value attached. He also lacks even a basic understanding of momentum and confidence, which is why his teams can't string a consistent season together and can crash at the most unlikely moments and fall at the least significant hurdles. Better managers know that maintaining a peak performance right across the squad is greatly assisted by a winning mentality and success breeds success. Our performance in this competition last season was one of the embarrassing low points (from many). It would be great to see a well organised team go out tomorrow and methodically take the opposition apart, as we'd be quite capable of doing if we had a man in charge who was committed to excellence. Won't happen. We'll do the bare minimum. Even that should be enough in this instance, but this unprofessional and unambitious outlook will cost us when it comes to bigger challenges. It always does.

[Goonermerree]

As I recall, we played a fairly strong teamed against Sheffield Wednesday last year and still lost. To add insult too injury, Walcott and Ox were both injured, both within minutes of coming on and were out for a while.

[Marc Overmars]

While it would be nice to win this cup, it is a turd of a competition and I really couldn't care less what happens tomorrow. Waste of time, lets hope we don't pick up any injuries for the real stuff on the weekend.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Because we are such a confidence side, any result no matter how insignificant can have a knock on effect in the next game, therefore i hope we win

Of course i think we will lose to chelsea come what may because we are ridiculously easy for them to play against

[The Emirates Gallactico]

If anything we need to win just so the likes of Giroud, Debauchy, Gibbs, Ospina, Lucas etc etc actually get some game time this season.

[Kano]

You seem to have forgotten about our pending injury crisis.

[Power n Glory]

Xhaka, Elneny, Ox and Perez will start tonight. Akpom also starting so Perez may be on the wing. Ox probably through the middle.

[Power n Glory]

https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/778289180573065216

Maybe not.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Is Debauchy dead?

And why no Ospina?

[Kano]

Well he's certainly fucking this cup off so we shouldn't expect too much from tonight.

[Marc Overmars]

A real mash up of a team. Bench is a shocker as well.

Oh well.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You guys need to win, and concede, so I can't be blamed for fucking up the work acca.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Disappointed to see Xhaka and Elneny playing, means Wenger is determined to play Coqzorla at the weekend

Defeat assured

[Kano]

You guys need to win, and concede, so I can't be blamed for fucking up the work acca.

Generally we've got the concede part covered so you're halfway there before a ball is even kicked.

LORD Bendtner :bow:

[fakeyank]

Not a bad starting XI. The bench is awful though. Glad we are resting our best player so far this season, Santi.

[The Verminator]

Anyone got any working AceStream links for this?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jeff sents one to Adelaide.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Happy Birthday Holding!

[Goonermerree]

Anyone got any working AceStream links for this?

Do you have to download anything special to get AceStreams and are they any good?

[Goonermerree]

Happy Birthday Holding!

+1 21 today!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Was that Holding with the pub touch?

Forest should've done better.

[The Verminator]

Not Acestream but this seems to alright atm

http://www.streamhd.eu/football/nottingham-forest-vs-arsenal-live-stream-700.php

Thanks TEG. That's the one I'm currently watching from the Reddit links but it's a bit choppy. Better than nothing though! :)

[Kano]

Not sure who that was but should've been 1-0 Forest.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Thank god Kasami is shit.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Thanks TEG. That's the one I'm currently watching from the Reddit links but it's a bit choppy. Better than nothing though! :)

Got it myself from Reddit as well though it's pretty stable for me.

Tried a couple of others before and they were choppy. This seems like the best so far.

[The Verminator]

It's close to like watching from TV. Not been so easy to find good English language streams for it so far this season. For Russian language, not a problem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stojkovic saves from Akpom!

Great, thanks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good corner guys.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What a corner from Ox. :doh:

[Kano]

Bendtner whistles one past the far post after Lansbury thugs out Elneny.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Yeah that should have been a straight red for Lansbury.

[Kano]

Xhaka!

:bow:

[Kano]

He's done it again! :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Xhaka with another Xhaka.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

XHAKA!!!

BOOM!

[Power n Glory]

He's done it again. Wenger is going to be cross with him. :lol:

[GP]

Twice in a week :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka does it again!!!!. The boy simply wont listen.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

:haha::haha:

GOAL MACHINE!

[Goonermerree]

Xhaka boom!!! He'll be fined a couple of week's wages

[Marc Overmars]

What does he think he's playing at?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Xhaka boom!!! He'll be fined a couple of week's wages

Another one and Wenger might put him on the transfer list. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka boom!!! He'll be fined a couple of week's wages

We at GW should start a contribution to help with the fines. NQ will gladly donate a weeks wages Im sure.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

If he could face the opposite way and do that again, it would be great.

[Goonermerree]

If he could face the opposite way and do that again, it would be great.

Bloody 'ell, what we doing with a Pool fan on here?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pogba. :lol:

And how many videos with Stormzy has Xhaka been in? :sulk:

[Kano]

Bloody 'ell, what we doing with a Pool fan on here?

One of the best posters on here tbh

[fakeyank]

Thats like 2.13 quid

A sad indictment, when you think about it.

Or 500 USD

[Goonermerree]

Dunno if anyone had posted what he just did, the board would go into melt down!:lol:

[GP]

The Forest number 17 is called Hildeberto.

I don't know why I find that funny.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

One of the best posters on here tbh

tbf there's barely 10 regulars on here these days.


Thats like 2.13 quid

After Brexit it's more like half of that.

[Kano]

A sad indictment, when you think about it.

I couldn't possibly comment

[Goonermerree]

The Forest number 17 is called Hildeberto.

I don't know why I find that funny.

You find it funny because it is funny!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What the hell was that from Gibbs?

[Kano]

tbf there's barely 10 regulars on here these days.
It may be a toilet nowadays but at least it's our barren wasteland

[Goonermerree]

Just pass the ball to Xhaka, let him have a shot!

[Kano]

That was mess between Holding and Elneny

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Dunno if anyone had posted what he just did, the board would go into melt down!:lol:


You guys need to win, and concede, so I can't be blamed for fucking up the work acca.

I can't be held responsible for fucking it up. Again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding giving them a good kicking. :bow:

[GP]

It may be a toilet nowadays but at least it's our barren wasteland

I'm off to join the Big 4 Forum.

[Kano]

I'm off to join the Big 4 Forum.

:haha: now that's a shithole

[Kano]

Nice break and close from The Jeff

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Great skills from the jeff ...... nearly.

[Kano]

Lansbury at it again should be off after that. Took out Gabriel

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I really rate Reine-Adelaide.

I think he can become our version of Pogba except less shit.

[Kano]

0-1 HT

Walking in a Xhaka wonderland! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT. :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Dirty cunt send him off!!!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Half time.

Not bad tbh. Lucas is a bit too isolated up front but we've played some decent stuff which is surprising considering the lack of cohesiveness amongst the team .

[Kano]

Dirty cunt send him off!!!!!

:lol: let us know when you catch up

[Kano]

Finished the first half yet Adz?

[LDG]

XHAKA!!!!

[adzzzbatch]

Finished the first half yet Adz?

:( I'm watching in a pub with beIN sports, you would've thought a tv broadcast would be live!

[Kano]

Don't worry you've got 10 more goals to enjoy yet

[GP]

Don't worry you've got 10 more goals to enjoy yet

All from the B52

[adzzzbatch]

:lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ox tries to do an Xhaka but shanks it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!!

We're the new Barca/Marketing.

[Kano]

Akpom brought down and it's a pel!

That's four in six matches we've got a pen

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pelanty!!!

[GP]

PELANTY!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

XHAKA!!!!

Hull. :haha:

[Kano]

Perez!

:bow:

[Goonermerree]

Lucas scores!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LUCAS!!!! :bow:

[GP]

LUCAS PEREZ!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Only one pelanty for the whole of last season and now six already this season!!!! :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Really glad Lucas took it. 0-2
Just need to stay composed now

[Goonermerree]

Only one pelanty for the whole of last season and now six already this season!!!! :lol:
Guess where all transfer money went?

[Kano]

Only one pelanty for the whole of last season and now six already this season!!!! :lol:

Is it 6 or 4?

[Globalgunner]

What on earth has happened to Sanogo?. This game was tailor made for him

[Marc Overmars]

Penalties :bow:

Wenger's best signing of the summer

[adzzzbatch]

Thomas has just scored! Right at the end!

[GP]

Lansbury's hair has to be a bookable offence.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

How the fuck hasn't Lansbury been booked already? :lol:

What a joke.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Is it 6 or 4?

Liverpool
Watford
Southampton
Hull
Nottingham Forest

Five actually.

We're both wrong. :getcoat:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What on earth has happened to Sanogo?. This game was tailor made for him

It's a football match so I doubt that.

[Master Splinter]

Lansbury wouldn't even be booked for murder tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lansbury booked. :lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lansbury finally gets a yellow. About 60 minutes too late.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Are our fans doing the Super Nicklas Bendtner chant? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We just don't get much from the Ox really.

Kasami off, Carry On is on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a tackle from Gabriel.

[Kano]

Perez again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LUCAS PEREZ!!! :bow:

What a man.

[Goonermerree]

Lucus

[Master Splinter]

LUCAS!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Goal machine!

[Kano]

Great play and finish!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

LUCAS!!!

[Globalgunner]

0-3 Lucas!!!
Bye-bye Giroud.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Mancienne :lol:

What do you expect from a Chelsea clogger.

[GP]

Wooop!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What a tackle from Gabriel.

Don't want to jinx it as he's prone to mistakes but I've been kind of impressed with Gabriel tonight. Very assured performance given that it's his first game back from injury.

Don't think Mustafi's place is certain at all in the team if Gabriel keeps this form up tbh.

Holding all the way tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Home tie next please

£10 games :bow:

[Kano]

:good:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lucas should have made it 4

[Kano]

Lucas should've claimed his hat trick there.

[Letters]

Lucas should have made it 4

Sell him, he's shit!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas declines taking a hat-trick.

Xhaka. :cloud9:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Bendtner gets a standing ovation. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bendtner gets a standing ovation. :lol:

To himself.

[Kano]

Liverpool
Watford
Southampton
Hull

Five actually.

We're both wrong. :getcoat:

I don't think we had a pen at Watford

Me :bow:

You :pal:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Zealeam and Willock on.

Akpom and Jeff off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Akpom off, Willock on.

Brisbane off, Zelalem on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I don't think we had a pen at Watford

Me :bow:

You :pal:

:unsure:

Our first goal in that game was a pelanty. Alexis got clobbered by some Watford thug and Santi stepped up.

[Kano]

Oh fuck

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Close from Ox.

Really could do with him scoring to boost his confidence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort Ox.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Bielek on for the Tory.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miles off, Bielik on.

[Goonermerree]

My stream's crashed. Keep me posted.

[Power n Glory]

My stream kept stopping and starting. Missed both goals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OX!!!!! :bow:

[GP]

4!!!

[Kano]

Nice

[Goonermerree]

Yay ox!!!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Time to head over the other thread to watch Chelsea vs Leciester!
