Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal, 15:00 BST (20/06, BT Sport 1)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A televised Saturday 3pm game. :lol:

They [I] said it would never happen.

Xhaka, Pablo Mari, Soares, Torreira, Sokratis and Chambers are all dead.

[dazthegooner]

Well it is BT sport so meh.

[GP]

0-3

Henry, Bergkamp, Pires.

[Mac76]

I predict the usual uncoordinated mess and poor team selection, but still pubbing a 1-1

[Xhaka Can’t]

I predict the usual uncoordinated mess and poor team selection, but still pubbing a 1-1

The record will be ours!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Saka, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Martinez, Medley, Tierney, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Ozil, Nelson, Martinelli, Nketiah.

Subs: Martinez, Medley, Tierney, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Ozil, Nelson, Martinelli, Nketiah.

so it looks like two up front

nice to see holding get a chance, hopefully he'll do well and lock that position down

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba will be on the left, of course.

[Globalgunner]

Is Sokratis dead or something. No CB on the bench. Any injury there will.see Kolasinac filling in. Horror!
Commentator says Medley is a CB. I always thought he was a keeper

[Mac76]

Auba will be on the left, of course.

and saka will be...?

[Xhaka Can’t]

We are going to beat Brighton so bad, their fans, their coaches, their players, their catering staff, their toilet attendants and all their families will wish they had never been born.

They will form a guard of honour as they applaud us off the pitch whilst having spontaneous repeated orgasms at the memory of our performance, before killing themselves by asphyxiation tonight as they each try to unsuccessfully replicate the glorious orgasms from earlier in the day.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The people on the seats. :haha:

[Mac76]

The people on the seats. :haha:

they each paid £20 for that :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good pass. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka smacks the bar!

[Mac76]

good effort saka

[Xhaka Can’t]

Saka smacks the bar!

I’m surprised VAR didn’t rule that in.

[Mac76]

I’m surprised VAR didn’t rule that in.

and give a goal for Arsenal? don't be silly

[Mac76]

laca should have done better than that

[Mac76]

random corridor shot :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Will Laca and Pepe do anything right?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get up Pepe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drinks break. :lol:

[Mac76]

tossard :haha:

[Mac76]

kola :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laca header saved.

[Thierrymon]

Leno looks seriously injured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno is dead. :rose:

[Mac76]

brighton doing a good job of kicking us off the park, with Arsenal getting an entirely predictable lack of support from the ref

[Master Splinter]

Elbow on Saka and pointless foul on Leno just laughed off by Atkinson.

Half the team injured in two games.

Nothing changes.

[Marc Overmars]

That’s Leno done for 6 months at least.

We’re fucked, he’s one of the small handful of decent players we have.

:haha:

Booze :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno stretchered off, Martinez on.

[Mac76]

fuck off keown, Maupay led with his elbow, if that isn't a foul i don't know what is

[Mac76]

Leno telling Maupay to fuck off, and too right, how can any one see that and not say it's a foul?

[Letters]

I’m watching Stick Man.
I am happy with my life choices.

[dazthegooner]

Keown the closet Spud would explain why he's such a prick when it comes to Arsenal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Martinez off Mooy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great play between Auba and Laca, nearly.

[Mac76]

another Laca special...

[Marc Overmars]

:sleep:

[Master Splinter]

Nketiah/Martinelli on for Laca and Nelson for Pepe.

Laca and Pepe do far more harm to the team than good.

[Mac76]

yeah it's a struggle to watch and the only incident is the goalie who's saved us more times than i'd care to count being out for months

good save from martinez, but he needs to keep that standard up from now on - he'll have plenty to do, we know that

[Master Splinter]

Only 5 fouls for Brighton versus 6 for Arsenal.

:haha:

Atkinson waving off the two most dangerous ones, of course.

Why do we watch this pathetic league?

[Marc Overmars]

Hard to believe that is the same Pepe who was really good in France.

He looks like he won a competition to play for us.

[Mac76]

fuck off ferdinand

[Mac76]

March is on - i hate that guy

[Mac76]

kola :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Auba.

[GP]

Of course that one's a yellow.

Refereeing is fucked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette booked.

[Mac76]

atkinson really is excelling himself today, not even pretending to be in any way impartial

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves near post.

[Mac76]

and keown really is being a total c**t today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still no Martinelli. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah, 'interesting', not farcical.

[Mac76]

we've got half an hour to save this we need Martinelli and Nelson now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well claimed Martinez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shot saved from Ryan.

[Thierrymon]

Pepe!!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PEPE!!! FUCK ME!!!!

[GP]

WHAT A GOAL!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Good Pepe :bow:

[Master Splinter]

PEPE!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wand of a left foot. :bow:

Stick of a right foot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drinks break.

[Master Splinter]

Saka assist :bow:.

[Globalgunner]

PEPE!!! FUCK ME!!!!

Is that a request?

[Mac76]

brilliant and he'd been so bad up until then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Maupay couldn't have known how serious it would be"

Well that's the thing isn't it, they don't consider it and just push like berks.

[Mac76]

keown shown the maupay footage and forced to admit it was a foul

[Xhaka Can’t]

That was a beautiful goal.

[Thierrymon]

1-1 ......

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1. Clowns at the back.

[Marc Overmars]

:rolleyes:

[Globalgunner]

We are back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette gets nobbled.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Nketiah on.

Tierney coming on also soon.

[Marc Overmars]

Hearing the players cry after every challenge is embarrassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba hits it, Ryan saves.

[Mac76]

i thought tierney was going to punch that fa official then who pushed him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shot, deflects over.

[Master Splinter]

Bissouma to be booked in the 98th minute for his 452nd foul.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi header, easy for Ryan.

[Marc Overmars]

Genuinely not sure if we will get 50 points this season.

[dazthegooner]

Genuinely not sure if we will get 50 points this season.

Take's me back to the mid 80's :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What has Martinelli done wrong? :lol:

[Mac76]

keown picks bissouma for MOTM, what an absolute c**t

[Mac76]

What has Martinelli done wrong? :lol:

probably 'doesn't work hard enough in training'

[Marc Overmars]

Not sure how Eddie is being preferred to Martinelli.

[Mac76]

don't worry Willock's on, that will win us the match for sure

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aubameyang being the one having to put the ball in on the 92nd minute.

Stupid.

[Mac76]

they really do need to sew Hector's balls back on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Maupay. Jesus christ.

[Marc Overmars]

2-1 :haha:

Embarrassing

[Master Splinter]

:haha:

Atkinson prevails.

Can we cancel this shit permanently?

[Marc Overmars]

Being doubled by Brighton :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT.

More absolute bollocks.

[Mac76]

we're a total shambles - there are some talented players there but we don't look remotely like a team which knows what it's doing

yes there should have been more yellows for brighton but that's not the point, we're hopeless - arteta is hopeless
