Brighton v Arsenal, Boxing Day (17:15 GMT, SSME and Sky One).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Torreria is one booking away from a suspension and missing the Liverpool game. :sick:

[Mac76]

He really shouldn't play today, we definitely need him at Anfield

[SMatthews]

I agree with what Emery says - both games are worth the same so you play him in both if possible.

Ozil to start again, or too physical for him?

Defence will be a patch up job again. Hopefully Xhaka back in midfield and Ramsey to start.

I think Brighton have committed the most fouls in the league this season, so we should expect a lot of clogging today.

[fakeyank]

Play Auba and Laca up front. Rest, dont care.

[Globalgunner]

No Iwobi would be nice. Ozil plays so we need someone who adds rather than subtracts from the team. Play a youngster anyone except that waste of space Iwobi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All out attack. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Good team there.

Lets hope we don't start doing stupid shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton: Ryan, Montoya, Duffy, Balogun, Bernardo, Stephens, Propper, Gross, March, Muzza, Locadia.

[Mac76]

Emery's gone all out, hope we're 3-0 up with 60 to go and he can rest some people

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme is on now.

Anything other than 0-5 is unacceptable.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good start so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wake up Xhaka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort from Auba!

Ryan tips it over.

[Marc Overmars]

Good effort Auba

[SMatthews]

Auba!

[Marc Overmars]

AUBA!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG GOAL MACHINE!!!!

Lacazette. :bow:

[SMatthews]

Cmon Watford.

[Marc Overmars]

Great work from Laca to cause that havoc in their defence.

[Globalgunner]

That goal was all about Laca. Brilliant play by him and Auba

[SMatthews]

Def goals in this game for us.

[Marc Overmars]

No pressing or anything from Brighton.

Need more goals before they wake up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gross shot, deflects behind.

[SMatthews]

For stopping a breakaway like that it should be a yellow.

[SMatthews]

Calamity :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That had to be a foul?

Piss off Brighton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is a foul, 0-1 it stays.

[Marc Overmars]

What a pub goal that would have been. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be a goalkick.

Ref. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montoya hits it, over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza strike, tame and easy for Leno.

[SMatthews]

Should be 2-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ryan saves from Aubameyang!

[Marc Overmars]

Auba :doh:

Should have buried that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nearly in again.

[SMatthews]

Oh ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Locadia. Oh dear me.

[Marc Overmars]

1-1

Fuck off

[Marc Overmars]

Dominate then get done by some shit like that.

Pathetic

[SMatthews]

A summer overhaul of our defence can’t come soon enough.

[Marc Overmars]

Steiner is rubbish.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Will we ever have a defence?

It’s really quite pathetic tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza heads it over.

[Globalgunner]

You almost never see us go 2-0 ahead. Crisis of confidence always after 1-0. Blow gilt edged chances then get caught. From our own corner FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous slow play bunting it back between our centrebacks. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rick Steiner's cross. :haha:

Old Man can't kick a ball.

[Marc Overmars]

OMG Steiner’s delivery is so bad.

When is Bellerin back??

[SMatthews]

To have a halftime lead for two games in a row ‘twas but a dream

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montoya booked for taking out Guendouzi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. Back to normality.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Take Litch off. For the love of God.

[Marc Overmars]

Should be cruising but we’re not because we can’t defend for shit.

Getting sick of this now. Let’s hope Auba and Laca can pull us through.

[SMatthews]

Until we buy some good defenders, this is going to keep happening. Bellerin, Sokratis, Holding and that Greek kid are the only ones that can be of any use to us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut hauled off, Iwobi on. :lol:

[SMatthews]

Ozil off. Good. He’s been lazy and done nothing.

[Marc Overmars]

Iwobi on for Ozil

Mesut didn’t fancy it

[Xhaka Can’t]

My internet went down so it is still 1-0 here

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Why didn’t Litch follow him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good improvised cross from Methuselah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

March hammers it, Leno saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Propper header, wide it goes.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Getting ripped apart by Brighton isn’t fun

[SMatthews]

Ramsey would suit this game

[Mac76]

Lichtsteiner's looking like a real mistake siging, just not up to it

C'mon Arsenal ffs

[Mac76]

Ramsey would suit this game

Yes, got to be done

[Xhaka Can’t]

Giving it away while under no pressure

[Xhaka Can’t]

Another corner, hopefully we don’t concede

[Marc Overmars]

This is shite.

[SMatthews]

Another corner, hopefully we don’t concede

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's a red by the Xhaka rule isn't it?

Only a booking for good old Muzza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Propper. :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

That should have been us 2-1 down.

This is utter shit to watch

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool are going to smash us to pieces.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We are just playing like a collection of pylons

[SMatthews]

Should be Guendozi coming off.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Pylons that make the occasional foul

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Ramsey on.

Lacazette throwing the gloves down again.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Laca visibly thrilled to be substituted

[Xhaka Can’t]

Away fans doing their bit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira daring to get that yellow.

[Marc Overmars]

We haven’t got going at all in this half. Really poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba failed at the airshot I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi hoiks it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kosicelny off, Maitland-Niles on.

[SMatthews]

Might give us some pace on the flank

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maitland-Niles involved straight away and not in good terms.

[Marc Overmars]

AMN :doh:

Just pass it you moron

[Marc Overmars]

Have we had a shot in this half?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Looks like a point or nothing tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Someone hit it!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Have we had a shot in this half?

I can’t even remember an attempt at goal this half.

And we fuck it up again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

March lobs it over, the stadium. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Just begging Brighton to put us out of our misery.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Should have been another for Brighton

[Xhaka Can’t]

Mo, what are you planning to do with your Silver membership?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza off, Andone on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Locadia shoots, wide.

[SMatthews]

Lucas really wants that yellow.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Only 10 minutes of shit to go and save a point

[Marc Overmars]

Seriously, we haven’t had an attempt at goal in this half, have we?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Seriously, we haven’t had an attempt at goal in this half, have we?

Not one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi nearly pubbed it in.

[Marc Overmars]

There’s our attempt.

A complete fluke. :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Only ‘attempt ‘ was a Brighton clearance hitting Iwobi and bouncing wide off him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Locadia off, Knockaert on.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Anfield should be fun.

[Marc Overmars]

AMN is shocking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fuck off Niles

[Xhaka Can’t]

Three minutes guys

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Corner to us.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I can’t even recall a corner getting past the first defender

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. Utter shit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Brighton the worst in the league at set plays.

Score off a corner to us.

[Xhaka Can’t]

1-1 FT. Utter shit.

We hung on

[KSE Comedy Club]

Fuckin drivel

[KSE Comedy Club]

I’m getting pretty sick and tired of this tbh

[Letters]

Three minutes guys

We were in full “we could play till midnight and not score” mode

Pathetic

[SMatthews]

I’m getting pretty sick and tired of this tbh

Of what?

[Marc Overmars]

We reached new levels of shit in that second half.

[Xhaka Can’t]

My mate still hasn’t asked for his card back.

He used to go to every game.

Last time we talked, he was giving up his membership.

:lol: well I haven’t lost them if you want them back.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Classic Wenger special that second half.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No rush.

I don’t see me going this season.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Brighton players crushed with just a draw

[Marc Overmars]

I've been to a handful of games this season, all when we were starting that unbeaten run. It was encouraging at first but the problems we all knew were there are manifesting themselves now, clearly Emery has a shit ton of work to do.

I haven't been able to go as much lately but at this rate I won't be in a rush to check the ticket site.

With Liverpool are Spurs flying right now, it only makes it all the more galling.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I'll keep going to every game I can as I've spent too many years previously out of London when I couldn't go, but frankly glad it was impossible for me to get an away ticket today.

Not sure what to make of the fact I couldn't give my Burnley ticket away for free too....

Not only are we letting those around us pull clear...we are also allowing Manure to catchn us up.

[Globalgunner]

Utd will overtake us before jan

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How?
