Sky's programme starts at 1pm.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Guess Welbeck has played himself into the Atletico game now.


And why is Monreal starting over Kolasinac? Wenger really does seem to hate him (Kola).

[Niall_Quinn]

Elneny Xhaka Iwobi and the poor sod Willock. Fun, fun, fun.

We paid Ozil how much to leave him at home?

It's a shame Auba and Laca will finally get onto the same pitch but with absolutely fuck all behind them.

More Wenger randomness, for want of a competent rotation policy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle: Dubravka; Yedlin, Lascelles, Lejeune, Dummett; Kenedy, Shelvey, Diame, Ritchie; Perez; Gayle.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry and Vidic in the studio. Henry's beard is glistening.

Notice how Sky can't be arsed going to the matches now they're dead rubbers and the build ups aren't an hour long? :lol:

BLitW. :bow:

[Cripps]

Arsenal are the only team yet to pick up a point away from home in the Premier League in 2018.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gazza in the stands. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"We are the Geordies, the cock of the north". :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aubameyang shat on someone there.

Lacazette fluffs it.

[Goonermerree]

Arsenal are the only team yet to pick up a point away from home in the Premier League in 2018.

:lol:

Is that true? Can't believe that.Shameful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kenedy shoots, easy for Cech.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding boots it out of play.

[Niall_Quinn]

Woeful football.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kenedy should be off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!!!

Great goal! :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

So no card then? Not even a yellow?

[Niall_Quinn]

Perfect justice

0-1 Laca

[Goonermerree]

Fantastic goal on the volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shoots, deflects behind.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should have been a pen. Makes you wonder what the lino is supposed to be doing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh it was actually saved by Lascelles? :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal are the only team yet to pick up a point away from home in the Premier League in 2018.

:lol:

In England actually.

:haha:

[Goonermerree]

In England actually.

:haha:

That will all change today - when it's waay too late.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aubameyang. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lascelles just puts it behind for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :doh:

[selassie]

We have played very well so far, look good all over the park.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Perez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi's tunnel vision again.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1

Long ball undid us as usual.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Mustafi is such a fraud.

Second PL game where his dilly-dallying has cost us a goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

3 chances to get a challenge in there but the defence is so handbag and high heels.

[Goonermerree]

Oh dear, how did Perez get so close to our goal like that without any challenge?

[Master Splinter]

Cech and Mustafi need to be well and truly hauled off.

To Stoke.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

He's got no idea of his surroundings and where the potential danger is in the box. Don't know why Gabriel was sold instead of this hack.


Two new CB's needed in the summer.

[Niall_Quinn]

No card again. So carry on fouling I guess.

[Goonermerree]

He's got no idea of his surroundings and where the potential danger is in the box. Don't know why Gabriel was sold instead of this hack.


Two new CB's needed in the summer.

Definitely and not three years too late.

[Goonermerree]

No card again. So carry on fouling I guess.

Arsenal ladies have conceded a dubious penalty to Everton. Seemed to have got the ball first.

[Niall_Quinn]

No card for that either?

That was blatant, right under the ref's nose.

Taylor must be waiting to book one of our guys first.

[Niall_Quinn]

FK to Ncastle for a dive.

[Niall_Quinn]

Perez in late again. Just blatant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lejeune runs through Iwobi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers rubberlegs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cleared by Chambers or else it was a second for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves from Ritchie.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers clears another one.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chambers clears again. Hope he can be as effective defending our goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock. :lol:

Lacazette should go for goal there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brilliant defending by Willock - caught between Laca and Auba but he gets it behind for a Ncastle GK.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rafa is only 58?

He looks 158.

[Master Splinter]

Newcastle with the usual mandated foul immunity against Arsenal.

They're so soft! They're incapable of withstanding 400 leg-breakers in one half!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 1-1

A nothing game. Poor in defence as usual. Disorganised in the middle. Laca and Auba have had a few moments but Chambers has kept them pretty quiet in the main.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Our counter attack is shit.

Probably time for Pillock to come off as well, we need a more experienced player on

[Goonermerree]

On a successful note. Arsenal Ladies into the FA cup final 2-1.

[Master Splinter]

Only 8 Newcastle fouls so far apparently.

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Only 8 Newcastle fouls so far apparently.

:haha:

Per minute. Sounds about right to me.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

To think we could have signed either Van Dijk or Manolas for less money than we spent on Mustafi that season.

Our scouting team need to be shot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Our counter attack is shit.

Probably time for Pillock to come off as well, we need a more experienced player on

Somebody with a bit more composure and control.

Like Welbeck...

Wenger had a Maitland Niles fetish going on for a while, I wonder why that ended? He would have been a more obvious choice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Guess Anthony Taylor is paying us back for awarding us that Alexis goal in the FA Cup final.

[Niall_Quinn]

Suddenly the ref can spot handball in the box.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock doesn't appear to have much talent.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chambers is quite a liability.

[Cripps]

Willock another one that can be put in the bin.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Willock doesn't appear to have much talent.

Harsh. It's his first PL game starting for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Harsh. It's his first PL game starting for us.

Not expecting to see a domineering performance or anything but we're adept at producing blank canvasses these days.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another Newcastle player going in high again.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

"reaction is dramatic to say the least"


Fuck off! :lol:

[Master Splinter]

No booking?

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gayle off, Slimani on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi shoots, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock off, Welbz on to save us again. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Ritchie, we're sleeping again.

[Cripps]

:haha: :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS

Our away record :rose:

[Cripps]

Thank you Rafa:bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Monreal :doh:

What the fuck was that header?

[Master Splinter]

That was Monreal's fault.

[Niall_Quinn]

Defending all over the place again. So weak in the challenge. So far behind the play.

[Cripps]

Hold on Newcastle:pray:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Hold out Newcastle:pray:

Why?

Losing this isn't going to change anything?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kenedy shot deflects on to the bar.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Quite like the look of Lascelles tbh. Cheeky bid in the summer?

[Cripps]

Why?

Losing this isn't going to change anything?

The more losses and fewer points the better to build momentum and get him out the door.

[Globalgunner]

Burnley coming up on the rails behind us. Imagine finishing behind Burnley:(

[The Emirates Gallactico]

The more losses and fewer points the better to build momentum and get him out the door.

I don't think our league form from here onwards is going to change a single thing tbh.

It's Europa League or nothing for the club so we might as well win this game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chambers hauled off, Maitland-Niles on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez off, Joselu on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Perez off, finally. Subbed though. Some great studs up challenges from him today. Definitely left his mark.

[Cripps]

I don't think our league form from here onwards is going to change a single thing tbh.

It's Europa League or nothing for the club so we might as well win this game.

I agree but we need everything to come together in a cauldron of shiteness to give him the boot. This is one part of it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger only ever gets agitated when somebody tries something other than tip tap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ritchie off, Murphy on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi off, Nketiah on to save us. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Eddie on.

Why not? It's all totally random anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

What a dive. Ref likes it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Refs blows the whistle before the three added minutes minimum is played. Cunt.

2-1 FT.

We're just so shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

We can't even lump it into the box. Pathetic.

[Cripps]

:patrice:

[AFC Leveller]

Bigger fish to fry on Thursday but i dont think we will beat them over two legs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Just embarrassing.

Which is normal really.

ZERO away points in 2018. That's crazy. No other manager would get away with it, but here we are again. Another Wenger random team. No plan. No tactics. No shape. Nothing.

For the bargain price of 10 million quid.

This is a farce.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh well. 7th place here we come.

Don't really care as long as we win Europa.

[Mac76]

Awful second half performance

Burnley only two points behind now and who wouldn't bet they finish above us - how embarrassing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bigger fish to fry on Thursday but i dont think we will beat them over two legs.

It's a week on Thursday so I don't know what this team was all about.

[Master Splinter]

It's not just getting the basics wrong when defending, Mustafi is an unprofessional clown all over the pitch. A simple ball to the right for AMN and he boots it out of play. Trying to get an equaliser in the last few minutes and he pushes a Newcastle player under no pressure to give a away a free-kick.

He's trying to outdo Silvestre as the worst Arsenal centre-back in the last twenty years.

[Master Splinter]

Refs blows the whistle before the three added minutes minimum is played. Cunt.



After Slimani had just kicked the ball away to earn a booking too.

These refs are a genuine disgrace.

[Niall_Quinn]

Can Sky bring themselves to suggest the defending might be in even a little way down to Wenger? I mean, how long has this been going on now? With how many different sets of defenders? Come on Sky bods - a little bit of imagination required.

[Goonermerree]

That will all change today - when it's waay too late.

How wrong I was!!!!:blink:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Got a text from Adzzz.

Didn’t even know this was a 1:30 ko whilst posting on this forum!

Mind you I’m fucking wrecked. 9 hour flight from Canada, an hour waiting for a fucking gate and another hours clearing border control and waiting for luggage.
