West Ham away - Wednesday 8pm. BT sport.

[Cripps]

West Ham coming off the back of a good performance against City and win against Chelsea :popcorn:

[Ralpheroo72]

2-1

[Xhaka Can’t]

1-1

[GP]

0-3

[Letters]

1-1

Optimist :sulk:

[selassie]

This could honestly go either way, no idea what to expect with Arsenal these days. It's a must win for us though if we want to keep in the hunt for top 4 :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

This could honestly go either way, no idea what to expect with Arsenal these days. It's a must win for us though if we want to keep in the hunt for top 4 :rolleyes:

If I had to guess, I think we'll play a slow tempo, tap it around sideways and backwards to win 70% possession, and be toothless in front of goal. I think we'll be shit in defence, our passing will be sloppy and careless, and we'll start slowly.

Just a guess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moyes can be generous to us.

Of course when he was at Man Utd we still found a way to not beat him.

[fakeyank]

This could honestly go either way, no idea what to expect with Arsenal in the last decade. It's a must win for us though if we want to keep in the hunt for top 4 :rolleyes:

Fixed it for you.

Oh Wenger.

[Globalgunner]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQ8sQwEX0AEPqrC.jpg

Oh Wenger.

Shit selection:
We`re gonna lose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham: Adrian; Zabaleta, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Noble, Obiang, Arnautovic, Lanzini, Masuaku; Antonio.

[Niall_Quinn]

Shit selection:
We`re gonna lose.

He's a fucking dick, isn't he? He's got it stuck in his retard head that athletes can't perform more than once a week. What a fucking tool this poor sod is.

[Niall_Quinn]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQ8sQwEX0AEPqrC.jpg

Oh Wenger.

Pure tip tap selection.

[Niall_Quinn]

Thought I'd pop into AFTV pre match talk and see how it was going.

30 seconds later...

Don't bother.

[Niall_Quinn]

He never makes one or two tactical changes to account for the opponent, does he. It's always a complete randomisation of the team. He's so focused on energy and red zones and other such bullshit he hasn't got time for anything else. And it's such bullshit. Everyone wants to play in a team on form. And if you want some form then keep the team together. Maybe the odd change here and there, for a valid reason. But the Wenger Way? Fuck off idiot.

[Globalgunner]

Pure tip tap selection.

that midfield will get broken, smashed and shat all over

[Niall_Quinn]

that midfield will get broken, smashed and shat all over

Yes, consistency.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Holding? What happened to him

[AFC Leveller]

Expect Antonio to play like Romario and their midfield to overrun ours.

2-1 West ham.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holding? What happened to him

Wenger is ruining his career. Everything is going as expected. He did it to Chambers too.

[AFC Leveller]

Holding was making real progress towards the end of last season but he seems to have gone backward and is now behind chambers (who was almost certain to join palace) in the pecking order.

[Marc Overmars]

Lacashite. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

John Terry fouling up my screen pretending to know what he's talking about. Swearing that he'll never tie laces against Chelsea. Idiot!

[GP]

96d19eb9c836e5fdced591eaeca23c1770c2a6da

[Niall_Quinn]

Mother in law phoned at precisely 8PM :doh:

[Globalgunner]

96d19eb9c836e5fdced591eaeca23c1770c2a6da

Is that the Omega code?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil's such a talented player. Way too talented for this lot.

[Globalgunner]

Mother in law phoned at precisely 8PM :doh:

Don't you forget her Xmas present

[Niall_Quinn]

6 mins without conceding :bow:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Mother in law phoned at precisely 8PM :doh:

Maybe she doesn’t like you

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif with a good, nothing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis scuffer, Adrian saves.

If only Hart was playing. :(

[Niall_Quinn]

Good, sensible play that. Get the ball wide. Cross it beyond the defenders into the danger zone. Striker in the box going for the header.

Just weird.

[GP]

Is that the Omega code?

Yes.

Alternatively, it might be a high quality stream.

FIND OUT ON ANOTHER EPISODE OF A SERIES OF TEDIOUS EVENTS

[Niall_Quinn]

Grim double foul on Alexis. Play on!

[GP]

Hoddle is on the gin already

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Arnautovic. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moyes. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Great defending again. Fortunately offside.

Defence is hopeless.

[Niall_Quinn]

Painful trying to keep a stream going this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis shot, deflects over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maitland-Niles shoots, way wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bollocks football, as usual. Tip tap, tip tap. Absolute bollocks.

[Niall_Quinn]

When you see what we don't get, compared to the soft shit those gypos get, it doesn't excuse Wenger but it does explain the gypo record this season. Scandalous reffing all season long.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi smacks the post!

Might've hit the post says Darke. I think it did says Hoddle.

Berks.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bad miss by Iwobi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great tackle from Wheelchair, useless from Iwobi afterwards.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil is on it tonight. Great movement and passing from him. Now if only Alexis could be even half as good.

[GP]

Super Jack is playing well.

[Niall_Quinn]

What is the point of playing in super congested territory like that? The more congested, the more likely we'll play it in there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Noble dives. Doesn't get the FK. Dives again. Gets it.

"Drawn it, lovely!" Says Hoddle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Negative turn from Wilshere.

[GP]

Giroud took Cresswell's head off :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud wipes Cresswell out. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dangerous play? Er the ball hit Cresswell's head.

[Niall_Quinn]

I love the way we get a break, get halfway up the pitch and then stop and play it backwards. Excellent.

Meanwhile Bif has (allegedly) punted Cresswell in the face.

Nope. Nowhere near him. Commentators getting excited for no reason.

Now they are trying to make out the absolute non-event in our box was a pen. Not even Poll agrees.

Unlucky. try harder.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lanzini booked. Scrote.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lanzini quite rightly booked.

Surprising from Moss. He let the rules get the better of him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka went for it at least.

BT hoping repeated footage will yield a different result.

[Niall_Quinn]

Xhaka punts it out of play for some reason.

[Marc Overmars]

Couple of nice moments but mostly probing and doing fuck all in the final third.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

I'm shocked the team he picked has done fuck all.

[Niall_Quinn]

We have 9 attempts to their 1, and BT furiously replaying Hammers highlights. I guess we must be getting dominated.

Xhaka punts it out again. Bizarre.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

Dear God. What a pile of shit.

[Globalgunner]

0-0 HT.

I'm shocked the team he picked has done fuck all.

Expected goals 1-3

[Globalgunner]

Pointless football based more on luck than strategy. West Ham looking the more likely to score

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif is too slow. Fact.

[Özim]

Not going well.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka gets it on target this time at least.

[Niall_Quinn]

Night not going well.

It doesn't matter what our rivals are doing, we never take advantage anyway. Leicester proved that beyond any doubt.

[Niall_Quinn]

Xhaka gets it on target this time at least.

Yep. Excellent back pass.

[Niall_Quinn]

I wonder when the turd will send Lacazette on? 68 mins or 72 mins?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif clears another one, well alright corner.

[Niall_Quinn]

Second cross into Bif? Third?

Could work you know.

[Özim]

Thanks for editing my post, may as well have deleted it all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Mesut missed?

[Niall_Quinn]

Better. Were always better when we cut that tip tap shit out and go direct.

[Marc Overmars]

How has Mesut missed?

He’s shite?

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil :doh:

It's not unlucky that we miss 75000 chances a season. Every season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking pass from Iwobi.

[Marc Overmars]

Wheelchair can be quite good.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wheelchair can be quite good.

and quite frustrating when he does that brick wall thing.

[Özim]

Iwobi is another overhyped Championship level player.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif's too slow. Too static.

And he's slow.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lacazette has little bit groin, apparently. So why is he on the bench then?

[Özim]

Wheelchair can be quite good.

Too injury prone though, also not focussed enough IMO and considering how long he's been around hasn't really done a lot. Plus in all likelyness he'll move on in the summer for free.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif's not even trying to head it towards goal now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Aur-nowt-avich :haha:

Clueless.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great defending by Bif. For WHU.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The towel! :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Too injury prone though, also not focussed enough IMO and considering how long he's been around hasn't really done a lot. Plus in all likelyness he'll move on in the summer for free.

Yeah but what he does do well, he does better than everyone else in our midfield. Those little bursts are essential to construct decent passages of play.

[Niall_Quinn]

OMG. The pubbers are doing the towel throw. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

5 mins to go until the sub. Laca for Cech I expect.

[Marc Overmars]

Poor from Cech.

Got lucky there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :haha:

Very lucky.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're doing our best to chuck this away. Can't be faulted for the effort.

[Marc Overmars]

Wheelchair skies it from 10 yards :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Welbz on for Iwobi

Iwobi is a bit shit really

[Niall_Quinn]

Joking aside, is Bif playing defence for WHU now?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi off, Welbeck on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeck for Iwobi, like for like in a like for like system. Pointless for pointless.

[Globalgunner]

Pure rubbish. If we were a team of doctors. We would be taking out pregnant women's spleen instead of delivering their babies.
Wilshere shoots skyward from 5m out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adrian saves from Alexis' freekick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not an awful effort from Alexis. But not difficult for the keeper.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bif, always a yard off the play.

[Niall_Quinn]

75 minutes in and we are still plodding away. Just keep plodding and, on average, we'll plod enough over the course of a season to plod 4th place. Maybe.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is Moyes. The one guy we could always whip. We are sooooooo ordinary.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need MORE sideways and backwards passing FFS!

[Niall_Quinn]

Pathetic effort by Bellerin.

[Niall_Quinn]

73% possession in 2nd half :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Cross it Welbeck you idiot

[Niall_Quinn]

Lacazete preparing to come on for another economic substitution.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette coming on now. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Why is Sanchez still playing for us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis hauled off, Lacazette on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Moron takes off a player that can always grab a goal. Bif still on. Which means Laca will play out of position.

53 mill :haha:

[fakeyank]

Only going to be 19 points behind City. We should be in the title race.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yoda is wandering the touchline, wondering yet again how our glorious possession triumph has not turned into a result.

[Niall_Quinn]

Only going to be 19 points behind City. We should be in the title race.

We always prioritise the title.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need a lucky break. A mistake. Something. We aren't going to create anything ourselves.

[Marc Overmars]

Comedy defending

Lucky as fuck

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How aren't we behind?

[Niall_Quinn]

We just dodged a bullet. Suicide defending. Luckily it was Hernandez.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is the worst team Wenger has ever shat out. He's really spoiling us.

[Globalgunner]

We have certainly the most idiotic bunch of defenders in professional football

[Niall_Quinn]

Seconds to go and we are STILL tapping it sideways :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

FT

Rancid

[Letters]

Clean sheet :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. Absolutely terrible, again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Last kick is a FK into the wall.

FT 0-0

It's just sad now.

Get out Wenger you useless cunt. Same old shit and he'll repeat, repeat, repeat. Cunt.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Nine goals in nine away games and five of those came against Everton :haha:

[Gooner23]

After 17 games we are below Burnley.

What excuses will Wumger trot out this time.

[Niall_Quinn]

7th, with Leicester on our heels :bow:

But the culture and spirit is like a sumo wrestler, so all is well :bow:

Look, I must say, we first go for the title and the CL. Although, in context, we aren't in either. So that makes it okay.

Wenger :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

After 17 games we are below Burnley.

What excuses will Wumger trot out this time.

We almost signed Burnley.

[Letters]

Only a point below Spurs and Liverpool

:bow:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Same shit different season

Comparing this season to the previous nine our average points total is 32 after 17 games

No need to panic, safe yellowy diorreah we’ve served up for a decade

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Also Facebook likes to remind you of things you said years ago

On this day in 2010 we lost to United 1-0 at Old Trafford (Ji Sung Park if I recall)

My comment

Haven’t got so much as a point against United or Chelsea in 18 months. What a joke of a club

[Cripps]

0-3

:haha:

How did we fare in 2011?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

How did we fare in 2011?

Between end of February and October 2011 won four out of eighteen league games

Although between the period December 2010 and May 2011 beat Chelsea, Barcelona and United which I suppose in some fans minds ameliorated that awful record

This is about the time I started thinking Wenger should go.

[GP]

:haha:

I'm not entirely sure what you're laughing at.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Perhaps a little optimistic considering we find it hard to create chances and score away from home

Or perhaps you were saying we would lose 3-0?

[GP]

Laughing at someone for backing their team, when you also support said team...

It's weird? Pathetic? Something like that.

[Marc Overmars]

I thought laughing at the wrong predictions is something we do on GW to score internet points regardless of what the prediction was.

[GP]

Is it? Not something I've seen here before.

Certainly not for your own team.

[Letters]

GP :pal:

:haha:



Am I doing this right?

[GP]

Probably not.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Don’t be a girl mate. Vieira laughed at me for predicting Spurs would beat Leicester

[Niall_Quinn]

If I had to guess, I think we'll play a slow tempo, tap it around sideways and backwards to win 70% possession, and be toothless in front of goal. I think we'll be shit in defence, our passing will be sloppy and careless, and we'll start slowly.

I must be psychic.

Seriously though, it's pretty impressive of me to be this accurate, don't you think?

I mean, how could I have possibly guessed? What clues did I pick up on?

I really don't know. It was just pure luck I suppose, a once in a lifetime lucky hit.
