Arsenal v Leicester, 22/10 (8pm BST, Sky Sports).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This to make it 10 in a row. :bow:

Hopefully.

Any victory would be sufficient, I don't like being the last team involved of a round of fixtures.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Seems to be a lot of feeling that 442 is the way to post the Fulham game which I understand but I don't think every opponent is going to set up like Fulham or have their issues with conceding goals.

It will be interesting to see who he starts if he does play it though. Worried that Sokratis' injury/precaution, whatever it was will preclude him for this.

I'd expect a win here though and hope Iwobi keeps his place.

[Master Splinter]

At least we don't have to endure Dean or Taylor, because Vardy would be getting a pelanty every time he came within ten yards of the box.

6-2.

[Mac76]

We ought to win even though Leics are no Foolham

[Marc Overmars]

Leicester tend to make things difficult for us, if we win I think it will be narrow.

2-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm going to play this match on FIFA 19, I'll let you know how it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was a 1-0 pub special to us. :scarf:

Koscielny and Cech made their suprising returns and our goal stemmed from an almighty hoof up field from Mesut. :bow:

Lacazette finishing the er 'move' off.

[Özim]

I expect us to win but had a horrible nightmare we lost this 2-0 a few days back!

[Mac76]

It was a 1-0 pub special to us. :scarf:

That's good i can stop worrying about the result now:d

You can't argue with science

Didn't that mean you were able to spend the rest of the week moaning about it?
Sounds like a lovely dream, for you. ;)


:run:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I don't think I've ever dreamt about a football game ever.....

[GP]

I had a dream that I was playing World of Warcraft.

It's probably because I play a lot of World of Warcraft.

[Mac76]

Do we think we know how we will line up then?

Leno
Bellerin Mustafi (not that i want him too but am resigned to it) Holding Monreal
Torreira Xhaka (ditto)
Ozil Ramsey Auba
Laca

or do we think Welbz will be preferred to Auba again?

[Gooner23]

I hope he sticks with the same team as the Fulham game, apart from Auba in for Danny. Iwobi and Mhiki deserve to keep there places.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Souness and Carragher in the studio for some reason.

[Globalgunner]

We have a player called Medley?. Well hope hes tuned up to make an appearance

[Globalgunner]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqIYVQgX0AAc9AW.jpg

What about Leicester Square?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We have a player called Medley?. Well hope hes tuned up to make an appearance

Never stays in one area.

[Mac76]

We have a player called Medley?. Well hope hes tuned up to make an appearance

:tumbleweed: :lol:

[Mac76]

I see Lichtsteiner's in there, hopefully to give vardy a kick or two :satan:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What about Leicester Square?

Les-tah: Schmeichel; Amartey, Maguire, Evans, Chilwell; Mendy, Ndidi; Ricardo, Iheanacho, Maddison; Vardy

[Edinburgh Gooner]

I hate souness with a passion. The guy is a complete cock womble.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carragher was saying that Aubameyang and Lacazette's conversion rate of 20% cannot possibly last because Kane and Aguero's is so much lower.

They could be different kind of strikers you know, spitter.

[Mac76]

Eh, eh, jeemie carrrghghghghrrr

Cam down cam down

[Globalgunner]

:tumbleweed: :lol:

Tough crowd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Souness doesn't like anyone but he particularly hates Pogba.

[Mac76]

Souness doesn't like anyone but he particularly hates Pogba.

I guess he doesn't break enough people's legs for souness' liking

[SMatthews]

Can see this ending 1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can see this ending 1-1

AND IT'S LIVE!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a clown Souness is.

Kante is a hulking mass in midfield of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[SMatthews]

AND IT'S LIVE!

Effortless marketing on my part.

Didnt release we were playing at home.

I’ll go for 1-1 instead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good defending from Holding.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves from Iheanacho, not sure why Holding let him take the strike on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be a pelanty surely?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good block from Lacazette to deny Bellerin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lichtsteiner hammers it, over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison freekick, miles away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding booked.

[Globalgunner]

Dodged a bullet with Holding handball there

[Marc Overmars]

Holding very lucky there.

Could easily have been a penalty and a second yellow.

Not a great start really. Which is nothing new of course.

[Gooner23]

Got away with a clear handball there

[Marc Overmars]

Great save from Leno.

Maguire should have scored

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Leno to deny Maguire.

He was offside Smudger, appeal or not.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why isn't that a yellow?

[SMatthews]

Leicester defending well so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi shot on target.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good shot Torreira. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricardo should be off now. Two obvious yellows.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette smacks it, way wide in the end.

[Özim]

Leicester have been the better side, should be ahead,we need to step up. These slow starts are fine against weaker teams but against top teams they mean certain defeat.

[Marc Overmars]

Leicester easily getting through at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut boots it out of play.

[Power n Glory]

Keep a close eye on Ozil. This is an example of a disappearing act. Hopefully he doesn't keep this up and gets more involved or hooked.

[SMatthews]

That was coming.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Chillwell bobbles it in.

[Marc Overmars]

0-1 :lol:

Can’t say it wasn’t coming

[Gooner23]

I don't agree with him getting straight back into the team. Against the better sides I don't think we can get away with him and Mhiki both in the starting XI

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That'll be a Bellerin OG.

[selassie]

They have battered us so far.

[Özim]

Leicester ahead!

[Marc Overmars]

That was a pretty impressive touch to take it away from Bellerin tbf.

[Thierrymon]

We have been shit and deserve to be down. This is how we played against West Ham and we were lucky to win that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

[Özim]

Played off the park so far, very disappointing but with rubbish like Xhaka and Mustafi on the field what do you expect!

[Power n Glory]

Great touch but midfield exposed. Torreira can't cover everything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka freekick tipped over.

[Power n Glory]

Played off the park so far, very disappointing but with rubbish like Xhaka and Mustafi on the field what do you expect!

Keep an eye on Ozil since you're watching the game. Can't keep turning a blind eye to the weak performances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka booked. :rolleyes:

[Özim]

Waste of time letting Xhaka take it, may as well have handed them the ball.

To be fair although we've been winning we've been fortunate to win a few after being poor in the 1st half numerous times this season and getting away with it due to missed chances by our opponents.

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka is hopeless

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi. :bow:

[Özim]

Keep an eye on Ozil since you're watching the game. Can't keep turning a blind eye to the weak performances.

Yeah he's not been great either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, very central this time.

[Özim]

Another free kick, Xhaka better leave this to someone else.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka freekick, way wide.

[Özim]

Xhaka misses it again, hopeless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How didn't that go in? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi shoots, Schmeichel saves.

[Power n Glory]

Heating up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OZIL!!! WHAT A GOAL!!!!

[SMatthews]

Ozil! Great finish.

[Marc Overmars]

Ozil!!!

Lovely finish

[selassie]

Get in!

[Thierrymon]

Class from Ozil.

[Globalgunner]

Nice........Really nice

[LDG]

Yesssss

[GP]

Get in Mesut!

Brilliant goal!

[Power n Glory]

What a goal from Measut! That's more like it. Gliding across the pitch. 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. :popcorn:

[Marc Overmars]

Lichsteiner is a bit shit.

[Marc Overmars]

Dreadful for most of the half but sorted our lives out towards the end with some sustained pressure. Class from Ozil.

[Power n Glory]

We've finally woken up. Good reaction to the goal down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lichsteiner is a bit shit.

He's little bit not a LB.

And he's really really old.

[Globalgunner]

Our 2 CBs Mustafi and Holding are both dead slow. Bellerin: speed used to be his USP but anyone can outsprint him these days it seems

[Gooner23]

No idea how were 1-1 but I'll take it. Ozil was anonymous for the most part but that was a lovely goal. Need to kick on now, too many sluggish performances in that half.

Torreira by far our best player again, what a find :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Up until that wonderful goal, Ozil was completely ineffectual. Hopefully the goal gives him some confidence because a player offering almost nothing shouldn't be indulged, especially ahead of players who have been effective in just the previous game.

Lacazette is the only one of the front four playing well so far.

Leno continuing his good performances. The goal was harsh on him.

[Master Splinter]

Lichsteiner is a bit shit.

Or playing out of position against some speed freaks.

Monreal, Kolasinac and Maitland-Niles being unavailable at the same time is a bit ridiculous.

[Mac76]

Good recovery to get the equaliser before half-time, you could see they really wanted to get one in before HT, and it was a great goal

Actually thought Ozil was looking lively and playing more directly, though we could have done without him and Xhaka messing about with short corners.

Is there any hope Emery is counting all Xhaka's messups? No, probably not...

Not sure i was very happy to see Laca drifting out so wide at times but i guess it keeps the defence guessing

[Power n Glory]

Lacazette is the only one of the front four playing well so far.

Leno continuing his good performances. The goal was harsh on him.

Leno made a great save earlier. Very unlucky with the goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four goals for Özil already this season, he only managed five in the whole of last season. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

We need to quit with the high back line our CBs cant handle it. id like to see Xhaka come off for Aubagoal

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Torreira easily our best player so far.

We seem to be playing with a hangover.

[Marc Overmars]

Torreria does the job of two players. So fast with his covering.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi hammers it across goal.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Would like to see Guendozi in for Xhaka BTW.

Who knows, his yellow card might just make this dream come true.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why Xhaka, why?

[Marc Overmars]

Xhaka. :lol:

Go away

[GP]

Vardy is Brexit personified.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mkhitaryan tries to dig it out but puts it wide.

Well done Lacazette.

[Marc Overmars]

Mkhi should get that on target at least

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mkhitaryan hammers another one out the ground.

Iwobi is fucking massive.

[Marc Overmars]

This is the same Iwobi we’ve had the past couple of seasons right?

What a freak he’s turning into.

[Globalgunner]

Mkhitaryan tries to dig it out but puts it wide.

Well done Lacazette.

Laca is twice the player Bif ever was

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chilwell has been busted up or he's just holding his face for some other reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka trying to convince the ref he didn't boot it out of play. Again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking hell Xhaka.

Mustafi clears up his mess.

[Globalgunner]

Only way we`ll get Xhaka out of this team is if one of us hires a sniper...or a plane

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ndidi heads on to the bar!

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck that was close

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lichsteiner and Mkhitaryan off, Aubameyang and Ghendouzi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho off, Albrighton on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!!!

[LDG]

Aubaaaammmmmaaaaaaaaahaha!!!!

[Master Splinter]

AUBA!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

AUBA!!!

Brilliant again from Ozil in the build up

[SMatthews]

What a pass from Ozil.

[LDG]

Ozil :bow:

[Özim]

Aubameyang scores, Ozil brilliant again! This is what the guy gives you when he performs.

[Thierrymon]

auyangabang!

[Master Splinter]

Two pieces of genius from Ozil today.

Well done Mesut.

[GP]

Aubayang!

Cooler than the other side of the pillow.

[AFC Leveller]

Great goal.

Iwobi has been our worst player yet he’s still out there.

[Letters]

WHAT A GOAL!

That ball by Ozil :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albrighton and Ricardo booked.

[GP]

Great goal.

Iwobi has been our worst player yet he’s still out there.

...huh?

[Power n Glory]

That was stunning. What a pass from Ozil.

[Master Splinter]

That should be his fifth yellow.

[Globalgunner]

Ricardo has been scroting all game, finally gets a yellow

[LDG]

Wow!!!!!!!

[SMatthews]

What a goal!

[Marc Overmars]

OMG WHAT A GOAL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

[LDG]

What a goal!

[AFC Leveller]

Wow what a goal that is.

My god that’s just sick

[Master Splinter]

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's better than the Fulham goal I say.

[Thierrymon]

Auyangabang!!! what a goal

[Özim]

Laca to Ozil to Auba 3-1!

[GP]

That was pure Wengerball.

[Letters]

WE’VE GOT OUR ARSENAL BACK!!!

[Globalgunner]

My my my. Falling in love must feel like this

[LDG]

That was pure Wengerball.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

This is absolutely absurdly good from Ozil on all three goals.

Give him 400k a week IMO.

[SMatthews]

Wenger :bow:

[Power n Glory]

Ozil is on it! This beautiful. We're back!

[Letters]

That was pure Wengerball.

It really was!
I’m actually enjoying watching Arsenal again
:scarf:

[AFC Leveller]

Ozil again, a goal and two (almost) assists.

That goal tho, out of this world.

[Master Splinter]

Bellerin pubs it up there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin puts it well wide.

Let's hammer them. :bow:

Ricardo off, GHELzal on.

[Özim]

It really was!
I’m actually enjoying watching Arsenal again
:scarf:

It's Emeryball, jobless is long gone, that's why we can enjoy football again, had to wait long enough mind.

[Power n Glory]

Emeryball is beautiful. We have kicked it up a gear. Bellerin has improved by a country mile with his delivery. Iwobi is a totally different player.

[Marc Overmars]

So much confidence running through the team right now. Great to see after the horror shows of recent memory.

[GP]

xG :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison off, Okazaki on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

xG :haha:

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Ref has allowed them to hack at will without punishment all match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How hasn't Lacazette scored?

[Marc Overmars]

Laca should have made it 4

Great football again

[Master Splinter]

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil off, Ramsey on.

Mesut. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

That’s got to be one of Ozil’s best ever performances for us.

[Power n Glory]

Ozil - keep performing like that. Untouchable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ghezzal. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Somebody posted on another site, that the Mrs is gonna get his best work tonight. Wenger was responsible fora lot of things including matrimonial dysfunction LOL!

[GP]

Visit Rwanda

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette is drunk.

[Master Splinter]

Laca seems to struggle with the tap-ins and only scores screamers now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba is playing like Henry's double. :wacko:

[GP]

Lacashite

[SMatthews]

Guendouzi has been fantastic since coming on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vardy has fucked it off.

:lol:

[Master Splinter]

I wish I was Guendouzi.

[fakeyank]

Such a joy watching a non-Wenger Arsenal :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

Need a Lacazette +1.

[Power n Glory]

Mustafi has had a solid game too. Snuffed out some chances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka. :bow:

We've found somewhere he is competent. :faint:

[Master Splinter]

Xhaka at left-back :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 3-1 Leicester, FT! :bow:

Seven in a row in the league.

10 overall in all competitions.

Emery. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Lovely stuff.

[GP]

|￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣|

10 IN A ROW

[LDG]

Boombah baby!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

From RAWK:


For context, Arsenal's xG is the 11th highest in the league according to understat. They've overperformed by nearly 9 goals already this season according to them. Second best attack in the league? Have a day off and then another and then another.

:haha:
