Arsenal v Napoli, 20:00 BST, BT Sport 2. Europa League QF 1st Leg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal you homers. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Don’t know what to expect really over this tie. If we are to go through then you think we’d need a big win here.

Come on you Gunners!

[Letters]

Let's twat these twats!

Come on you reds! :scarf:

[Mac76]

we need to win either 2-0 at the very least or by three goals if they score, because we WILL lose the second leg...

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Atmosphere against Rennes was one of the best of the season so hoping it's really good again. Think we will win and can definitely not afford to throw a whole game like we have previously this season.

Having, Xhaka, Torreira and Ramsey all available for the starting selection will make a big difference.

is Having a new signing? - i missed that one :lol:

[Letters]

is Having a new signing? - i missed that one :lol:

The batsman's holding, the bowler's Willey.

[GP]

is Having a new signing? - i missed that one :lol:

Having doesn't know if he's Coming or Going.

[SMatthews]

No Xhaka tonight apparently, so I’d imagine Torreira and Ramsey in the middle. Kos should also be back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Cech, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Torreira, Ramsey, Kolasinac, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Leno, Mustafi, Elneny, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Guendouzi, Suarez,

Napoli: Meret, Hysaj, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Mario Rui, Callejon, Allan, Fabian Ruiz, Zielinski, Insigne, Mertens.
Subs: Opina, Chiriches, Ounas, Malcuit, Ghoulam, Younes, Milik.

[SMatthews]

Draw tonight I think.

[SMatthews]

Hartson is looking more and more like Patrick every time I see him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0.

[Mac76]

The 'sensational sound amd light show' is such a fail it's untrue - thw first time i saw it i didn't realise i'd been watching it...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bring back the old Europa League theme.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette had a brief opportunity to whack it.

[SMatthews]

Good energy so far

[Marc Overmars]

Good start, on the front foot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey and Maitland-Niles both find Koulibaly!

[SMatthews]

Ramsey!

Great move

[Marc Overmars]

Ramsey!!!

Good move

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RAMSEY!!!!!

Great goal!

[SMatthews]

Rambo getting ready for next season.

[Marc Overmars]

Any chance we can tear that Juve contract up?

[Letters]

My stream is so far behind :lol:

My Gooner neighbour rather gave the game away a couple of minutes previous to when I saw it!

Doing well so far.


We are going to miss Rambo :(

[GP]

Any chance we can tear that Juve contract up?

That's not all I'd tear up ##

[SMatthews]

He’d prob pick up a 6 month hamstring injury in the next match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos and Cech knew what they were doing. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba was barged over. :lol:

Diego Costa has some thoughts about this ref's mum.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Meret. :haha:

[SMatthews]

Torreira!

[Marc Overmars]

Torreria!!!!

Get in!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

TORREIRA!!!! I love this guy.

[Thierrymon]

Goalllllllllllllll! Torreira!

[SMatthews]

Koulibaly :lol:

[Letters]

2-0!
Straight off the training ground, that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set-piece routine. :faint:

[Marc Overmars]

Our pressing in midfield has been exceptional.

Everything we didn’t do against Everton.

[SMatthews]

Our pressing in midfield has been exceptional.

Everything we didn’t do against Everton.

The little man has got his legs back for the run in.

[SMatthews]

Laca :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laca. :bow:

[Letters]

Laca :doh:

Adding that one to my “footballers can’t football” dossier

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey shot saved.

[SMatthews]

Another good move. Good shot from Auba.

[SMatthews]

We’ve been killing them down the left all half. Loads of room.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shot nearly bobbled out on the save to us.

[fakeyank]

Should be 4 or 5 goals in the clear.

[GP]

Mesut :bow:

[SMatthews]

Perfect first half. Well done boys.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insigne with a great clearance.

[SMatthews]

Another great move at the death.

[Thierrymon]

we got lucky there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 HT. Great stuff. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Really good so far.

Keep up the tempo and try not to do anything silly at the back.

[Mac76]

Would love to see us get another couple, keep a clean sheet and kill the tie

[Letters]

try not to do anything silly at the back.
:haha:

Great first half. Would be nice to get another one and keep a clean sheet.
Suspect Napoli will come out and have a go at us.

[Master Splinter]

Should be 5-0.

I'll take 4-0 though.

Best performance of the season probably. Helps having a midfield and being positive, unlike Sunday.

Hope Torreira's extended winter break has re-energised him. He's been monstrous.

Auba and Laca lacking little bit sharpness so far though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hysaj booked.

[Marc Overmars]

Monreal :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut Ozil is our longest serving manager according to Darke. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Napoli have woken up it seems.

[Thierrymon]

We've started the 2nd half poorly, thankfully Napoli's final has still been dreadful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insigne miles offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Koulibaly. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Not scoring more against Atletico was costly last season when we had a shitload of chances.

This feels eerily similar.

[SMatthews]

Good effort from Ramsey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey howitzer, saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal header, over it goes.

[Master Splinter]

FFS.

Another two good chances missed.

[GP]

Naitland Miles has really improved this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mertens off, Milik on.

[SMatthews]

Made a hash of that.

[Marc Overmars]

What a waste that was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ozil and Lacazette off, Mkhitaryan and Iwobi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolasinac is so annoying, he's a wing back, do the wing part of the play and fucking hammer it.

[SMatthews]

Another good save to deny AMN.

[Marc Overmars]

Should be 3 FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I wish Agent Ospina was in goal. :(

[SMatthews]

Let off the hook there

[Marc Overmars]

Should be 2-1 :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Tie should be well and truly over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How is it not 2-1? :wacko:

[Master Splinter]

Should be 9-1.

[Letters]

Fark!

Got away with that one. :sick:

[Thierrymon]

Oh no, Elneny coming on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira off injured, Elneny on.

[Marc Overmars]

Fucking hell Ramsey :doh:

[SMatthews]

Ramsey :doh:

[Thierrymon]

Ramsey :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How could Ramsey not keep that down?

Fuck me.

[Master Splinter]

This is a finishing disasterclass.

[Letters]

Oh Ramsey! :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did that bobble? :lol:

This isn't Wembley, Savage.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Insigne hauled offf, Younes immediately replaces his offside prowess.

[Thierrymon]

WTF ref how was that a foul?

[SMatthews]

Close from Auba

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech flaps it away.

[Master Splinter]

Auba :doh:.

[AFC Leveller]

Napoli are a different proposition at home and ca score goals for fun. We will need at least one more.

And make sure Mustafi is nowhere near the first team next week.

[Letters]

OH FUCK OFF AUBA!

[SMatthews]

Kos battered again :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Darke references two scorelines that would see us through. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 FT. :bow:

Well done.

[Thierrymon]

Great result but we had so many chances to kill the game that it makes the result seem worse than it is.

[Master Splinter]

The tie should be well and truly dead.

Instead, we've given Napoli hope by not demolishing them.

[SMatthews]

Nah, a very good result. We’ll score away too.

[Letters]

Great result but we had so many chances to kill the game that it makes the result seem worse than it is.

Yes. Would have bitten your arm off for that result before the game - clean sheet very important.
But we could and should have killed it tonight and we haven't. Good chance of progressing though.
Come on you reds :scarf:

[RomfordPele]

Decent result but rode our luck a fair bit at the end.

Terrible substitutions too. Wenger-esque.

Let’s hope 2-0 is enough.

[dazthegooner]

Great result see today Arsenal to beat Napoli 2-0 £10 wins you £90 was going to back it but didn't think we keep a clean sheet... Oh well still a great result :)
