[McNamara That Ghost...]

Again, intentionally not posted about where this is being screened in the UK.

Vardy will probably be back for this.

[Mac76]

he's bound to be and all fresh and ready to score a hattrick

[Niall_Quinn]

Is this one of those 14.95 bollocks things? Can't find a stream.

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, David Luiz, Gabriel Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Partey, Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Runarsson, Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Elneny, Willock, Pepe, Nketiah.

Is that the same team as last time? A miracle! A miracle!

Maybe it's not. I don't pay attention any more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Definitely not the same team. Not far off it though.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is this one of those 14.95 bollocks things? Can't find a stream.

Was gonna ask that myself as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is indeed. There have been numerous calls for boycotting them, Liverpool fans were doing that yesterday I believe.

[Globalgunner]

Arteta somehow has to find a way to shoehorn Xhaka in there. I hope the pair of them leave together

[GP]

Was gonna ask that myself as well.

Footybite

[Xhaka Can’t]

Footybite

Thanks!

I can save my £14.95 for Brighton v West Brom tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A wise investment.

[Mac76]

wtf does vardy have on his head? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno's mind is completely scrambled.

[GP]

Taking a knee :bow:

BLM :bow:

Trained Marxists :bow:

But her/his emails :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

It is indeed. There have been numerous calls for boycotting them, Liverpool fans were doing that yesterday I believe.

With a heavy heart I think I'm going to have to boycott this extravaganza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for offside, for us.

[Mac76]

leno already looking shaky again #shouldakeptemi

[Niall_Quinn]

That said, this seems to work, provided you like add and viruses.

And somebody just scored. But I'm only getting sound right now.

http://liveonscore.tv/soccer-streams/premier-league/arsenal-vs-leicester-city/

[Niall_Quinn]

Saw it now. Perfectly good goal. Disallowed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka freekick in to the wall. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evans denies Bellerin.

[Mac76]

Xhaka freekick in to the wall. :rolleyes:

absolute garbage

[Niall_Quinn]

What a pathetic FK by Xhaka. That's a sacking for sure.

[Niall_Quinn]

It should be noted that Bellerin can't play football. Any fucker knows you have to hit that. But with the backpass not being available, he hesitated.

[Mac76]

i see we've already abandoned that dreadful gothic lettering on the back of the shirts :lol:

people who'd already bought shirts with gothic letters :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

Gabriel clears it for Leicester, then we go all spastic and pinball it around for a bit. Very amateur.

[Mac76]

my commentary is ahead of my picture - the commentators obviously have Maccy's ability to see into the future

[Niall_Quinn]

The sphincter patrol is really cracking down on streams. Very hard to get even 5 mins of "action" without a crash.

What's the world coming to when you can't even get a pirate stream of PL footie?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Justin. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Latest one that works. For now.

http://eddensports.com/event/2020/arsenal-vs-leicester-city/

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba header over.

[Mac76]

Partey's already playing useless passes to the opposition - he's been Arsenalled in record time

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka snubbed out our first attack at pace. If we do that a bot more we might score.

[Mac76]

Auba header over.

great setup from Tierney

[Niall_Quinn]

Partey's already playing useless passes to the opposition - he's been Arsenalled in record time

Forgot he was playing. Haven't noticed him. I don't think it matters who's playing, the set up and the tactics are woeful. We'd probably play Messi in goal if we signed him.

[Mac76]

Auba taking acid to get through it

[Mac76]

another shit corner

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette header, Schmeichel claims it.

[Niall_Quinn]

another shit corner

Practice makes perfect.

I might pop over and see if they'll sign me up. I can kick a ball straight, so I could do a job.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette header deflects for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Laca is a bit shit really. He probably should go back to pumping his first and taking a knee. That's the only thing he does well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

Just a yellow for Fuchs.

[Letters]

Holy shit, Laca :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Not kidding, is Partey playing? I can't see him.

[Mac76]

Laca is a bit shit really. He probably should go back to pumping his first and taking a knee. That's the only thing he does well.

we should play nketiah, he's not much better but at least he's young enough for us to hope he'll improve with practice

[Niall_Quinn]

Laca's an embarrassing fuck, tbf. Gets a tap, rolls over screaming. And, wait for it, he'll jump up 100% okay. Embarrassing dickhead.

[Niall_Quinn]

we should play nketiah, he's not much better but at least he's young enough for us to hope he'll improve with practice

I'm with that. Provided the kid doesn't get a big head like these useless shit kickers have, for some reason.

[Mac76]

Not kidding, is Partey playing? I can't see him.

he just passed back to Xhaka #wortheverypenny

[Niall_Quinn]

Some Leicester lass has had a bump. Died. Obviously. But should be okay.

[Mac76]

take out vardy and leicester are toothless

[Mac76]

seriously, how many goals woudl auba have got already if it was him on the end of all these crosses...?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz clears Auba's shot.

[Globalgunner]

We are the only team in the world that can dominate another team without actually troubling their keeper

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tielemans booked, run at him!

[Niall_Quinn]

Auba had a go at least. 300 miles off target.

[Niall_Quinn]

We are the only team in the world that can dominate another team without actually troubling their keeper

He is troubled. He has to watch it too.

[GP]

What a ball from Xhaka and then Ceballos :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Something decent from Ceballos. And I don't mind Saka having a go. Nothing wrong with that.

[Letters]

We're actually playing really well, loads better than I've seen us recently.
Completely bolloxing up in the final 3rd though and can see this being one of those games where Leicester get a breakaway and score with their only chance <_<

[Mac76]

Laca's so slooooow

[Niall_Quinn]

These two teams are waiting for the opposition to make a snail's tempo mistake.

[Mac76]

if it goes on like this you can gaurantee vardy will come on with 20 mins to go and win the match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[GP]

We're actually playing really well, loads better than I've seen us recently.

We are playing well. Partey bossing the midfield.

No idea why Laca's goal was disallowed. Should be leading.

[Globalgunner]

I see no improvement in this team. Blunt is the word that best describes them

[Xhaka Can’t]

Latest one that works. For now.

http://eddensports.com/event/2020/arsenal-vs-leicester-city/
Worked brilliant for me

[Niall_Quinn]

If we keep playing like this - what's the end goal?

This is teetering on the edge of unwatchable. It's so crushingly boring. Even if we won the title, playing like this - so what? Could anyone actually bear watching a whole "successful" season of this?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd get over it somehow.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Well to be fair, it only cost £14.95

[Niall_Quinn]

Well to be fair, it only cost £14.95

I would have much preferred to pay the money. But I've lost my wallet.

[Globalgunner]

Well to be fair, it only cost £14.95

Thats about 3 Big Mac meals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well to be fair, it only cost £14.95

Tomorrow's game cannot be any worse in value for money by the half time stage.

Get the credit card out!

[Niall_Quinn]

Thats about 3 Big Mac meals.

At least the shit a has a bit of velocity when you eat McDonalds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal you pubbers. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel with a lovely pass to Leno.

[Niall_Quinn]

Schmeichel with a lovely pass to Leno.

It hasn't even started yet.

[Mac76]

OMG it looks like he's bringing on Mustafi :ilt:

[Niall_Quinn]

Somebody just said Mustafi is imminent. So all that stuff I said about progress - forget that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz's hamstring goes. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz off, Mustafi on.

[Globalgunner]

Our quarterback is down. Mustafi on to collect red maybe on his return

[Niall_Quinn]

While the backwards and sideways passing, followed by a hoof, is a joy to watch - I'd also like to see a bit or variation.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Edge's music at half time apparently. :lol:

[Gooner23]

Saliba could be starting soon at this rate, centre backs dropping like flies.

[Niall_Quinn]

So here we are. Back to square one. Mustafi on.

[Mac76]

so we re-registerd Mustafi as a PL player but not Ozil

Arsenal :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fofana booked.

Run at him!

[Niall_Quinn]

What's Denilson up to these days?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos having a bit of a mare.

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka viciously touched. Booked.

Stop cheating lad and just get on with the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka got caught. :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

Laca might have been a good player once, but now he's an Arsenal player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison freekick, crap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette booked, foul machine.

[Niall_Quinn]

Leicester player falls over. FK.

[Mac76]

Maddison freekick, crap.

is there any chance you could wait a couple of minutes before posting? ;)

[Niall_Quinn]

6 figure PL player can't hit the target. What a massive surprise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We'll probably only get anything going when Pepe comes on.

[Mac76]

vardy coming on to win the match

[Niall_Quinn]

Vardy on to win it.

But wait - we have Pepe coming on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Praet off, Vardy on.

[Mac76]

another shit corner, this time from ceballos

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Long throw. :haha:

[Mac76]

bellerin gets away with one

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin should most certainly be off. Ridiculous foul. Can't say the ref or VAR robbed us on this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka off, Pepe on.

[Mac76]

how many subs do we have? we need to swap out Laca, Saka and Xhaka

[Mac76]

can't believe the PL thinks a crap game like this is worth £14.95

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schmeichel saves from Bellerin.

[Niall_Quinn]

how many subs do we have? we need to swap out Laca, Saka and Xhaka

If only for the rhyming being mistaken as entertainment.

[Letters]

13-0

That is starting to look optimistic

[Mac76]

Schmeichel saves from Bellerin.

good effort tbf

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellerin shoots. Something.

[Niall_Quinn]

Partey randomly hammers it, Pepe does well to control it, then takes a touch, and does a Pepe.

Really awful passage of play between two big money signings.

Aren't they even embarrassed?

[Mac76]

leicester starting to take over now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evans booked.

Three out of the four Leicester back line on yellows.

Not that we'll make anything of it.

Barnes off, Under on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Laca dead again. But he has risen! Praise the Lord!

[Niall_Quinn]

Stream died. Doesn't really matter. I can still see it endlessly playing in my nightmares.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Vardy. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney off, Nketiah on.

[Niall_Quinn]

0-1 Vardy. :rolleyes:

Oh. I'll eventually get to see that I suppose. Now it won't be a massive surprise.

[Mac76]

told you... wish i'd been wrong though

[Letters]

We're actually playing really well, loads better than I've seen us recently.

:gp:

:doh:

[Globalgunner]

This team is absolutely clueless about scoring goals

[Niall_Quinn]

Never let it be said that modern football is 100% predictable. Surprised bookies haven't banned our fans.

[Marc Overmars]

All well and good being structurally better but when you struggle to score goals then it means fuck all.

[Niall_Quinn]

This team is absolutely clueless about scoring goals

Or playing football, tbf. Constantly tapping it around and hoping the opposition doesn't misbehave is not a gameplan.

[hobson's choice]

I'm done with Arteta now. Dude refuses to pick his best team. You see what the problem is, but yet week in and week out. He plays the 3 biggest liabilities in the squad Xhaka, Ceballos, Bellerin.

[Mac76]

only Joe Willock can save us now...

[Niall_Quinn]

The crowd still sounds optimistic.

[Gooner23]

Where was Mustafi when Vardy had the whole penalty box to himself?

[Mac76]

every opposition manager realises by HT that we're there for the taking, they tell their team to attack more and the rest is history

[Letters]

I'm done with Arteta now.
:lol:

[Mac76]

Where was Mustafi when Vardy had the whole penalty box to himself?

being shit somewhere

because he's shit

[Niall_Quinn]

Where was Mustafi when Vardy had the whole penalty box to himself?

I don't think you can blame Mustafi for picking him.

[Mac76]

:lol:

what's the joke...?

[Niall_Quinn]

every opposition manager realises by HT that we're there for the taking, they tell their team to attack more and the rest is history

If you can keep your team awake, you always have a chance against us.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Sometimes you win 13-0.

Sometimes its 0-1

[Letters]

what's the joke...?

It's just so wearyingly predictable how kneejerk fans are. Arteta's not been manager a full season yet.

[Mac76]

It's just so wearyingly predictable how kneejerk fans are. Arteta's not been manager a full season yet.

...and already he's shown us he hasn't a clue

[Niall_Quinn]

At least we've responded by keeping the same tempo. We're not panicked by how shit we are. Something to build on.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's just so wearyingly predictable how kneejerk fans are. Arteta's not been manager a full season yet.

Yeah. Laughable. Unlike the football which is in no way wearingly predictable.

[Mac76]

5 mins ET

enough time for Leicester to get a second

[Thierrymon]

This season it feels like teams have figured out how to nullify Auba. Our other attacking players just aren't doing enough to counter that. We look toothless.

Crying out for a player like Giroud in games like this tbh.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Who is more clueless?

Arteta or us?

Because we are so predictable we have no excuse for not all being millionaires.

[Letters]

...and already he's shown us he hasn't a clue

I'm sure Man Utd fans were saying the same after Alex Ferguson's first season.
And no, I'm not saying Arteta is going to be anything like that, but ffs give him a chance. He literally won the FA Cup in his first part season :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Who is more clueless?

Arteta or us?

Because we are so predictable we have no excuse for not all being millionaires.

We could be if we were bothered to go down to the bookies.

[Mac76]

there's so much crap out there tonight we should have got rid of in the summer - Xhaka, Mustafi, Laca, also Leno 'cos we should have kept Martinez

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not yet.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We could be if we were bothered to go down to the bookies.

I went down to the bottle bank....

[Niall_Quinn]

Leno saves from Vardy. Any minute now we're going to burst into action.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not yet.

Oh well. No point watching the last 25 mins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT. Utter horseshit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

there's so much crap out there tonight we should have got rid of in the summer - Xhaka, Mustafi, Laca, also Leno 'cos we should have kept Martinez

The only way we get rid of that lot is to a glue factory.

[Mac76]

I'm sure Man Utd fans were saying the same after Alex Ferguson's first season.
And no, I'm not saying Arteta is going to be anything like that, but ffs give him a chance. He literally won the FA Cup in his first part season :doh:

he had one trick which was to defend and play on the break against big teams in one-off games, but he can't get his tactics or teams right for league games

[Niall_Quinn]

The only way we get rid of that lot is to a glue factory.

Been shut down. Covid.

[Mac76]

The only way we get rid of that lot is to a glue factory.

i'll drive the van

[Mac76]

another shit corner, this time from pepe

did our new set piece specialist get lost on the way to the training ground?

[Niall_Quinn]

Game's still up for grabs in my stream. So don't lose heart!

[Mac76]

xhaka makes sure to get his customary booking

[Globalgunner]

We need to see at least another season of this until we accept that Arteta is not much cop

[Letters]

he had one trick which was to defend and play on the break against big teams in one-off games, but he can't get his tactics or teams right for league games

I don't think there was much wrong with the way we played tonight - certainly first half. We're just so toothless up front.
And second half we did nothing to push on and got caught by the inevitable breakaway.

[Marc Overmars]

The Spanish Tony Pulis with nothing to show in the league as usual.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ah. Spoke too soon.

Unbelievably Vardy came on and scored the winner after a boring sideways backwards display from our new, organised team.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need to see at least another season of this until we accept that Arteta is not much cop

Or 5-6 seasons if we want to compare him with Wenger.

[Gooner23]

I don't think there was much wrong with the way we played tonight - certainly first half. We're just so toothless up front.
And second half we did nothing to push on and got caught by the inevitable breakaway.

Thought we were ok 1st half, bit after the break it was the usual stuff. Other than Bellerin's chance I can't remember another shot. Very negative again.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're 10th now, but could still get into the top 4 if we change every single person at this club.

[Letters]

Thought we were ok 1st half, bit after the break it was the usual stuff. Other than Bellerin's chance I can't remember another shot. Very negative again.

Similar to the City game - good first half but just didn't push on second half.
Our lack of creativity and toothlessness up front is pretty worrying.
