Arsenal v Molde, 20:00 GMT (05/11, BT Sport 2)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hopefully the kids duff up Ole's old team too. :bow:

I would imagine Xhaka and Ceballos will start this one.

[Letters]

Molde :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

Molde: Linde, Wingo, Bjornbak, Gregersen, Haugen, Aursnes, Eikrem, Hussain, Ellingsen, Omoijuanfo, Bolly.
Subs: Risa, Sinyan, Mostrom, James, Craninx, Knudtzon, Christensen, Brynhildsen, Ranmark, Pedersen.

[Globalgunner]

The misfits are back. Can they fk this up....they will certainly try. Dont know why Runarsson isnt starting this one

[dazthegooner]

Was rumours that Smith-Rowe and Balogun might get at least a place on the bench.

[Niall_Quinn]

Who?

What?

Why?

[GP]

Two keepers on the bench

Ozil :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eddie scuffer.

[Marc Overmars]

Eddie actually making a decent run for once.

[GP]

This bint commentating is terrible.

Nketi-eh

[Master Splinter]

It's not the runs that have been the problem recently, it's the fact that there's no-one to spot them or execute them in midfield. Bellerin's probably our most creative passer at the moment.

Auba and Nketiah's movement is generally really good.

[Master Splinter]

This bint commentating is terrible.

Nketi-eh

Almost as bad as Firmeenio.

[Marc Overmars]

Pepe shows so much of the ball to his opponent while he tries his silly little moves.

[Marc Overmars]

Why is Leno playing in this?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Molde. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

0-1 :lol:

Someone scored a worldie

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka and David Luiz both thought we'll just let him bend it. Definitely not going in...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AMN. :lol:

[dazthegooner]

Cairny said that mistake was from Leno for kicking it long...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos saw something but out of play it goes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Joke event for losers. Which we are demonstrating quite nicely.

[Gooner23]

Pepe shows so much of the ball to his opponent while he tries his silly little moves.

He's so frustrating.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking header from Mustafi. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Why can't we have proper numbers on our shirts? Could they only afford the free font selection? Looks utter shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pepe never should be involved in any part of the play, unless it's a shooting opportunity. Just don't pass to him unless he's in on goal. Bit like Theo really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for offside.

[Marc Overmars]

Pepe never should be involved in any part of the play, unless it's a shooting opportunity. Just don't pass to him unless he's in on goal. Bit like Theo really.

Spot on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Was some good passing there. But offside.

[Gooner23]

Nketiah not even close to being offside there. Could argue that Willock is in the keeper eyeline but that seems harsh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno makes a save.

I however do not make sense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 OG!!!!

Classic counter attack. :haha:

[GP]

What a goal!

[Marc Overmars]

Own goal :lol:

Good counter at least

[Niall_Quinn]

I don't even know what the offside rules are any more. I suppose that's the whole point.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yay. The fungus team scored for us!

That's so sweet of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. Molde scoring at both ends playing us. :bow:

Ole. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

This is definitely boosting the profile of the club.

[Niall_Quinn]

Christmas ads are on :bow:

Happy Christmas everyone!

[Niall_Quinn]

Just seen the first goal. Dreadful keeping by Leno. Was he asleep?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is definitely boosting the profile of the club.

We're playing the reigning Norwegian Champs tbf.

[dazthegooner]

Well the goal we scored apparently doesn't count as a shot on target as it's an own goal BT sports at it's best.

[Niall_Quinn]

Under sensible rules, our offside goal was clearly offside.

Under the spastic rules that apply, no way was it offside and I'd love to hear why it was disallowed.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're playing the reigning Norwegian Champs tbf.

I thought they were from a farming community in France. You learn something new every day.

[Niall_Quinn]

Well the goal we scored apparently doesn't count as a shot on target as it's an own goal BT sports at it's best.

At least it keeps our 100% record intact.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Leno's a shit keeper, isn't he? And I used to think he was average.

Me :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

Really good ball by Xhaka but Kola is fast asleep. It's awful stuff. Get the fucking cross in.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Why can't we have proper numbers on our shirts? Could they only afford the free font selection? Looks utter shit.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it David!

[Marc Overmars]

Absolutely shit from Kolasinac.

It was an open goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Does anyone know why Kola is so shit? There has to be a reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolasinac, what a miss! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why take it on the bounce you pub bastard?

Just tap it in on the volley!

[Niall_Quinn]

By sheer statistical probability we should be able to score soon.

[Niall_Quinn]

Luiz booked for something.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is this the most toothless Arsenal team the world has ever seen?

[Niall_Quinn]

Nevermind, don't ever give it to Pepe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is this the most toothless Arsenal team the world has ever seen?

By far the gummiest team, the world has ever seen. And it's...

Would Ozil really have been such a disaster in a game like this? Seeing as we're paying him and all?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 OG again!!!! :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

2-1

Another OG :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Arsenal bringing on stream freeze for stream freeze.

[dazthegooner]

OG sign him up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some sort of conspiracy going on here because my stream froze right as that goal happened.

[Marc Overmars]

By far the gummiest team, the world has ever seen. And it's...

Would Ozil really have been such a disaster in a game like this? Seeing as we're paying him and all?

Yeah but we needed the added insurance of 2 keepers on the bench.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AMN off, Cedric on.

Willian hauled off, Saka on.

[Marc Overmars]

Willian looks like he’ll be expensive deadwood in a year or so.

[Xhaka Can’t]

By far the gummiest team, the world has ever seen. And it's...

Would Ozil really have been such a disaster in a game like this? Seeing as we're paying him and all?
Nope.

It is unbelievably inept to be in a situation where we can't even play a £350k a week player because we've handled it so badly, he isn't even eligible to play for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe with a decent strike, in to the ground.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheriff scored the OG. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe, why? :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Dead stream. Strangely it's more entertaining now.

[Mac76]

only just started watching - have we been any good?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PEPE!!!!!

Saka with a great ball back.

[Niall_Quinn]

only just started watching - have we been any good?

Of course. Blinding.

[Marc Overmars]

Pepe 3-1

Good finish

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Second game in a row we've scored in the 69th minute. :bow:

[GP]

Second game in a row we've scored in the 69th minute. :bow:

Nice...

[Marc Overmars]

Saka of course does more within minutes of coming on than certain others.

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka really doesn't get it, does he? Somebody needs to teach the kid all his incisive play cuts at least 283 moves from the build up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolff off, Brynhildsen on.

Omoijuanfo off, James on.

[Mac76]

Molde have a no 99 on the pitch :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wolff off, Brynhildsen on.

Omoijuanfo off, James on.

I had a feeling they'd make those changes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Karen's going to tell us where she stands on the 5 subs thing.

:popcorn:

[Mac76]

lame from Willock

[Master Splinter]

Willock always makes things happen. He is an assett if used in the right way.

And if Ozil offered anything whatsoever, any supposed off-field reasons, political or otherwise, wouldn't keep him out of the squad. But it's fine if you want to lament a Twitter bot who's been of less use than a cardboard cut-out.

[Niall_Quinn]

First time we've faced French farming opposition in Europe since Henry, Pires, and a whole bunch of other legends smashed the opposition with magical football, including a goal from Mr Reyes :bow:

Also, I used to go out with a girl called Karen. Then she got to know me.

[GP]

Nketi-eh is a turd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diving header from Willock wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka off, Tierney on.

Elneny on for someone.

Too many subs in Europe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How didn't Saka score?! :haha:

Offside or not.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ceballos off, after a particularly shit performance. Elneny on.

Xhaka off, after a particularly shit performance (apart from one pass) and Tierney on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka 500 light years offside and then somehow misses it anyway. Sell him.

[Mac76]

Saka was at London Colney when that ball got to him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Saka learns to bury chances like that and this one he is going to be an unbelievable player.

[Mac76]

Xhaka off, Tierney on.

Elneny on for someone.

Too many subs in Europe.

ceballos

[Mac76]

Eddie got someone right in the balls :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm getting a message on my stream from a girl called Katrina, who is undoubtedly lovely and entirely free from sexually transmitted diseases. Apparently she wants to meet me tonight.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. My reputation is getting around.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock, mate.

[GP]

Willock, mate.

"Too accurate"

Thanks, Karen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WILLOCK!!!!

Finally.

[Marc Overmars]

4-1

Well done Willock

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Too accurate"

Thanks, Karen.

She is a fucking Karen.

[Mac76]

Willock, mate.

that was horrible - how many times has he missed now?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Us getting to 4 goals. :faint:

[Niall_Quinn]

Willock plays the stats and eventually one goes in. Pepe actually did quite well there. But Elneny made it by being a complete bastard and not taking 34 touches.

[Niall_Quinn]

She is a fucking Karen.

They're not all fucking Karens. Mine was a nun.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eddie. :haha:

Headed it on to his foot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is it possible that Eddie is not a natural striker?

[Mac76]

Eddie. :haha:

Headed it on to his foot.

that really does have to go in

[Marc Overmars]

Eddie is awful. :lol:

We need to buy another striker. Especially as Lacazette has morphed into Heskey.

[Niall_Quinn]

tbf Eddie is young.

He could still excel in another career.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://i.imgur.com/hCOjbwu.png

Great win against surprising opposition. :bow:

[Mac76]

Mikel - we need to talk about your jacket...

[Niall_Quinn]

And it's over.

Can't remember what the score is, but pretty sure we smashed them.

Can't see who can stop us now!

[GP]

Willock was very impressive.

[Niall_Quinn]

Once the fungus team got us started, we were unstoppable.

[Master Splinter]

Willock more than deserves a chance in the league.

Pepe and Willian don't. Even Laca has been a bigger threat than them recently.

[Niall_Quinn]

Does Keown actually need glasses (as in eye-glasses, not pints)? Or do they make him look fancifully intelligent?

[GP]

Eddie is awful. :lol:

We need to buy another striker. Especially as Lacazette has morphed into Heskey.

I'd be tempted to give Balogun a try at this point. Nothing to lose.

[Niall_Quinn]

Willock more than deserves a chance in the league.

Pepe and Willian don't. Even Laca has been a bigger threat than them recently.

Just play the kids full stop. Let them mesh into a solid eleven. There's nothing to lose because there's nothing to realistically gain with all these five and six figure passengers.

At some point we're going to need to build a team. Might as well be now when there's nothing at stake.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Does Keown actually need glasses (as in eye-glasses, not pints)? Or do they make him look fancifully intelligent?

Well people that read need to get a life so he thinks thus it can't be for that.

[Gooner23]

Kola's miss :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Kola's miss :lol:

tbf, if you gave me that chance I'd only score 99 out of 100.

[Marc Overmars]

I'd be tempted to give Balogun a try at this point. Nothing to lose.

If Eddie is deemed good enough to get these chances without delivering anything, then there’s no reason why other, better kids can’t have some game time too.

Sounds like Balogun has issues with the club and his contract though.

[Niall_Quinn]

We need players who desperately want to play for Arsenal because it's a non-PR dream come true, and who don't give a fuck what they are paid because they know if they prove themselves they'll earn a fortune.

Anyone like that around?
