Nottingham Forest away. FA cup. Sunday 4pm.

[Cripps]

Retain our trophy? :run:

[Marc Overmars]

The league is dead, so we need to go all out for the cups and do the pub team treble like Liverpool did in 2001.

[LDG]

Proper 80’s fixture.

[Letters]

Clough's Green Jumper :bow:

[Cripps]

At Colney. Wenger: "Kolasinac, Koscielny, Monreal, Giroud and Ramsey, they are all still out. From Wednesday, we lose Xhaka who finished with a tight groin. I will rotate a little bit."

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I watched forest against Leeds on Monday. They started well but in the end they were lucky not to get blown away

[Ralpheroo72]

I sense an upset, so we’ll pub this 1-2

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger needs to go now. He needs to get the fuck out, immediately. Don't clear your desk out, just fuck off at once.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forest: Smith, Lichaj, Mancienne, Traore, Osborn, Cash, Clough, Brereton, Dowell, Vaughan, Worrall.
Subs: Henderson, Mills, McKay, Bouchalakis, Walker, Cummings, Vellios.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Keown just say Wilcock when talking about Walcott?

[Niall_Quinn]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DS8lCayWsAEHhMQ.jpg

Who knows?

[Niall_Quinn]

Always huge changes. Always so random. Always teams that haven't any experience playing together. No logic with any of it. The guy is lost. He's trusting 100% to the individual capabilities of the players rather than the collective capability of the team. Remember when we used to have a first eleven and a second eleven, and when the latter was pretty good?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scuffer from Theo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cash converter, no.

Ospina saves it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Lichaj. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Team against 11 strangers.

1-0 to the team.

[Niall_Quinn]

Who was that utter dope WATCHING himself play Forest onside there?

[Niall_Quinn]

We'd better dent Forest's confidence quickly or we're out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MERTESACKER!!!!

Savage and Fletcher. :haha:

Bellends.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 Merts after it comes back off the post.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nelson with a great dive.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not sure what's up with Moss. He's playing by the rules so far. Very odd.

[dostoy]

Get rid of this shit, it is simply not worth it.

Every defeat is a step closer to Wenger leaving and this is a free one.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why would we play that FK short? What's the point? What is Wenger doing on the training ground? Teaching them how to be as ineffective as possible?

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi very technical, right up until he loses the ball. Every time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Please refrain from posting on this thread if you don't have any interest in it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi sends it sky high with no technique in the shot whatsoever.

[Niall_Quinn]

Iwobi carefully guides it 4.5 miles wide and 2 miles high.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina saves our sorry arses.

[Globalgunner]

We are not looking very strong and stable

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And again, offside or not.

Female assistant. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Please refrain from posting on this thread if you don't have any interest in it.

???

You should be thanking me for turning up at all and doubling the crowd.

Ooooh. Ospina keeps us level as one of their pubbers runs rings around our defence. And then he saves us again with a tackle. Hope the defenders are watching how he did that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz offside but didn't score anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Welbz - should be scoring that.

Offside anyway. But still.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

???

You should be thanking me for turning up at all and doubling the crowd.

Ooooh. Ospina keeps us level as one of their pubbers runs rings around our defence. And then he saves us again with a tackle. Hope the defenders are watching how he did that.

I posted that when Dostoy was the previous post. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Replay - was a good save by Ospina but he should never had a chance there. Morata style finishing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Better from Theo, in that you can see what he was doing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo should have dived there, screaming his head off. That's the professional thing to do, IIRC.

[Niall_Quinn]

tbf to my commentators they gave Theo credit for staying on his feet and then mentioned the cheats who don't.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

We really are petrified of playing wide aren’t we

Do the players get a bamboo cane around the back of the legs for not cutting inside as soon as they get into the final third?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ospina saves again.

The ball over the top is so easy against us.

[Niall_Quinn]

We are so ridiculously open at the back.

[Cripps]

Mertesacker :haha:

Head of academy :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

We really are petrified of playing wide aren’t we

Do the players get a bamboo cane around the back of the legs for not cutting inside as soon as they get into the final third?

tbf, in order to tap it around in front of the defence you have to come inside.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dislocated finger for Ospina. Debuchy pops it back in for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Lichaj, what a strike.

[Power n Glory]

What a goal.

[KSE Comedy Club]

What shit defending

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh my fucking God!!!????

2-1

Our defence. We had at least 3 assists there.

[Globalgunner]

Our defensive woes run deep, new players same shit.

[Cripps]

Savage creaming his pants. The afghan hound looking cunt.

[selassie]

We could be 3 or 4-1 Down, we are a mess defensively.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It’s only because of bellends like Savage, I want us to win to piss them off.

[KSE Comedy Club]

When did Lehman join the coaching staff?

[Niall_Quinn]

Seriously though. Forest have been ripping us to shreds at the back for the whole half. Who's supposed to be directing things from the touchline today? Whoever it is, he's worse than Wenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 HT. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

HT Forest 2-1 Us

Embarrassing really. Forest deserve their lead. They had a lot less of the ball by did far more with it.

[Globalgunner]

Johnny Evans, please save us. You are our only hope

[KSE Comedy Club]

We have no structure and, worryingly, zero pace.

I hate watching our play, it takes 5-6 minutes to get the ball from midfield to their box.
Then no-one has the balls to shoot without being 3 feet from the goalmouth :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

That kid Brereton looks twice the player Theo is.

Actually that's a bit damning. I meant 20 times the player.

Has all the basics techniques in his locker and makes good decisions. That's all we ask of Theo after all this time. But no such luck.

Welbz has been shit too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh yeah, replay shows it was a pretty horrible dive by Nelson that led to our goal. Very professional, IIRC.

[Niall_Quinn]

Elneny on the second goal :haha:

Runs over and then watches the shot go in. Maybe next time he can make a challenge? See if that does something?

[Munchies]

haven't posted in here in ages

hope you're all doing well

Fuck arsenal

Fuck Wenger

:haha:

AFTV :popcorn:

[Niall_Quinn]

Munchies :bow:

Do you want me to fill you in on all the changes at Arsenal since you've been away?

Okay, here goes...

:tumbleweed:

[Niall_Quinn]

No tactical changes at HT :haha:

Amazing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jeez, Merts is fucking slow. Far too slow to be a professional footballer at this level.

[Niall_Quinn]

Tip, tap, tip, tap.

[Niall_Quinn]

Backwards, sideways, soooooo frustrating.

[Niall_Quinn]

Debuchy is our best player out there. At least he can cross. But we have absolutely nobody getting into the box. So static.

[Niall_Quinn]

Disastrous play so far from Walcott and Welbeck. Clueless. Giving no options at all when the ball goes into the danger zone.

[Niall_Quinn]

Clough off/ Walker on. Des Walker's son.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holding being warned by Moss for not fouling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be 3-1 really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo uses the FK to pass it to the opposition keeper. Nice.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brereton should have scored there. Holding just puts enough pressure on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fortunately for us Forest have been sitting back a lot more this half. Not that we've taken advantage.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Debuchy is the only arsenal player I’ve seen attempt to cross the ball

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel to Forest. :rolleyes:

[Cripps]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Brereton. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Pen to forest. Not sure about that. Looked soft.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yep 3-1

Unless somebody on our sideline decides to wake up we're done here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock off, Nketiah on for goals. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

This shit team has bumbled its way thorough the League Cup and Europa League, it was bound to be exposed sooner or later.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another on of those "contact" penalties. Minimal. Technically a pen I suppose.

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't think there's anything on our bench to change this.

Shameful performance from Theo and Welbz so far. We look like the lower league team. So disorganised. No plan. No answers to their key men. Looks like we didn't do any pre game prep.

Eddie on for Willock. Poor kid. All on him again.

[Niall_Quinn]

This shit team has bumbled its way thorough the League Cup and Europa League, it was bound to be exposed sooner or later.

Variation on this shit team. I don't think we ever have the same team twice.

[Niall_Quinn]

Forest - lost 5 of last 8 :haha:

Always rely on us for a boost.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smith saves from Nketiah.

[Niall_Quinn]

Eddie :doh:

Should have scored.

But at least he was up there, doing striker like things.

[Niall_Quinn]

Forest have upped things, if anything. Every chance of a 4th. Hungrier to the ball.

This is pretty embarrassing. Wenger has zero pride.

[Niall_Quinn]

Still trying to play 639 passes in tight space through their defence. You've seen it all before.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger talking to Lehmann, passing on his instructions to the bench. Lipreading Lehmann it looks like he said, "Don't worry, ze cunt will be gone soon."

[Niall_Quinn]

Holding just got destroyed by a championship player.

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbz :doh:

Tragic day out for him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Xhaka has little bit groin apparently. Else he would have played.

So you see, it's never as bad as you thought.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WELBECK!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

What a shit FK from Theo.

WELBZ!!!!!!!!!!

Keeper fucks up and he rolls it in.

Still a chance here.

3-2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walker shoots, straight at Ospina.

[Niall_Quinn]

Classic Welbz goal.

Keeper drops it.

Welbz tries to shoot. It's going miles off target but the keeper gets a hand to it that sends it back on target.

Incredible really. Keeper would have been better off running of the pitch and staying well out of it.

Wenger moaning from his seat in the stands.

[Niall_Quinn]

Got 10 mins normal and maybe 5 extra, if the ref can read his watch.

[Niall_Quinn]

We've had 3 shots on target, compared to their 8.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looked a push on Welbz to me.

Nope, replay shows it was a dive.

Then it comes to Theo for the tap in and he looks at it and lets it go past. Excellent Theo. Well done.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another pen to Forest.

Tackle from behind by Debuchy. Yellow card.

[Niall_Quinn]

Clear pen.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yellow for Ospina, probably for calling Moss a cunt.

[Niall_Quinn]

4-2

It's done.

[Niall_Quinn]

However, maybe a double hit as the player slipped when taking it.

May need to be taken again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Given the goal, despite it being double touched

[Niall_Quinn]

No.

4-2

Was just a tease.

We're done.

[dostoy]

4 penalties conceded in last 3 matches.

Unbelievable.

[Cripps]

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

It actually WAS a double touch. Should have been a retake. Whatever.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

It actually WAS a double touch. Should have been a retake. Whatever.

Yeah but Ospina wouldn’t have saved it either way

[Niall_Quinn]

Akpom on as reward for his drunk driving antics I suppose.

[RomfordPele]

Everything about this game is a disgrace.

Fuck off Wenger and stop making our club a circus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forest down to ten men.

[Munchies]

Munchies :bow:

Do you want me to fill you in on all the changes at Arsenal since you've been away?

Okay, here goes...

:tumbleweed:

:haha:

I genuinely have lost all desire to watch anything to do with arsenal now

can't rememebr the last game I watched

I've been done for a long time

Results like these are just fucking hilarious now :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

I hope we're not going to make a big deal about that pen. Sorry, but it's a far, far bigger problem to be 4-2 down as holders. Having played shite. Again.

Red card for Worral after tackle from behind on Akpon. Second yellow. Off.

[Globalgunner]

Armand Traore....wasnt he another Wenger dipshit?

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like we'll have to throw everything into to beating Atleti and the rest in the Europa.

Yeah - that'l happen.

Maybe we can win the Rumbelows Milk Rover Freight cup. And Wenger can get 2 more years as a reward.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo you berk.

[Niall_Quinn]

Armand Traore....wasnt he another Wenger dipshit?

Yep. Better than Theo tbf.

[RomfordPele]

Four mins injury time after three mins debating the penalty.

Another disgraceful decision.

But not as disgraceful as our arrogant dinosaur of a manager

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo doesn't even have pace any more.

Amzing how Soton don't want to pay 25 mill for him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Four mins injury time after three mins debating the penalty.

Another disgraceful decision.

But not as disgraceful as our arrogant dinosaur of a manager

We definitely did loads of match prep for this one. Arrogant doesn't do the guy justice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-2 FT. Well done Wenger, there's nowhere lower you can take us.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 4-2

We're out in the 3rd round for over 20 years.

Slowly, remorselessly, Wenger is bringing this club down to new lows all across the board.

[RomfordPele]

4-2 FT. Well done Wenger, there's nowhere lower you can take us.

Careful. We’ve still got next season...

[Globalgunner]

4-2 FT. Well done Wenger, there's nowhere lower you can take us.

I wouldnt be sure. Another 5 years would give him plenty time

[Niall_Quinn]

Let's have a debate about stagnation/ going backwards.

I really wish we were average, but we're a good way below that.

Deserved win for Forest. We were a disjointed jumble of half broken bits scattered over a pitch with arrogance and a superiority complex as our only weapons.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now we just need to randomise the team some more and chuck it out against the chavs with no plan and no tactics.

[selassie]

We got what we deserved, we were shocking today, a mess all over the pitch. Wenger says he believes there is no difference between the first XI and the understudies :haha:

Our first XI isn’t perfect but they wouldn’t have embarrassed us like this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not only did he chuck out this random team, but he burned all his bridges by having nothing that could change the game sat on the bench. That's just pure arrogance and negligence.
