West Bromwich Albion v Arsenal, 20:00 GMT (02/01, BT Sport 1)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fat Sam beating us again. :sick:

No thanks.

[GP]

0-3

[Mac76]

if we start with Willian it's a 3-0 - Austin hatter

if we don't we could actually win...

[Marc Overmars]

Winning 3 games in a row would be quite a feat for this team.

[I am invisible]

Ffs, why are we always the late kick off?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Because no one likes you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA: Johnstone, Furlong, Ajayi, O’Shea, Ivanovic, Sawyers, Robinson, Phillips, Gallagher, Diangana, Pereira.
Subs: Button, Gibbs, Bartley, Grosicki, Austin, Harper, Krovinovic, Peltier, Diaby.

Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Pablo Mari, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Smith Rowe, Saka, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Subs: Runarsson, Willian, Maitland-Niles, Pepe, Luiz, Elneny, Willock, Nketiah, Martinelli.

Martinelli on the bench. :sarcy:

[GP]

Leno
Bellers
Holdini
Mari
KT
Ceballos
Xhaka
ESR
Saka
Auba
Laca

[Marc Overmars]

Bum squad up front.

Hopefully Auba has sorted his life out. At least Smith-Rowe is still in and Elneny has been benched.

[hobson's choice]

For a guy who was a CM he doesn't seem to understand what a midfield partnership should look like. Xhaka and Cellabos is not a good pairing.

They both need to play alongside an athlete in the middle

[Mac76]

Presumably Martinelli's tired but Auba's really clapped too at the moment...

[Marc Overmars]

It is snowing in the cesspit they call West Bromwich.

[Globalgunner]

Ceballos is a flaky dilettante who has no end product nd Xhaka is a immobile dumpster who can only tug at opposition players. Its a good thing WBA are shit. Should be an even game, I predict no shots on target from either team until 70 mins

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That old fuck Ivanovic was done five years ago, how is he still going?

[Globalgunner]

That old fuck Ivanovic was done five years ago, how is he still going?

He must be a Vampire that only comes out at night

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal you useless turds, beat these combi boiler shitkickers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steve McManaman. :sick:

[Mac76]

oh christ it's Mcmanananananaman

[Mac76]

COYG FFS

[Mac76]

Gibbs on the bench for WBA :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Can’t take thrown ins now we can’t do kick offs.

[Mac76]

if it carries on snowing like that they might abandon this?

[Marc Overmars]

if it carries on snowing like that they might abandon this?

Looks like it’s more rain really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnstone saves from Bellerin.

Good cross from Auba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

if it carries on snowing like that they might abandon this?

No chance. Undersoil heating and also no fans to run the risk of being 'unsafe' around the ground.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Bright start

[Mac76]

allardyce isn't even bothering to not wear his mask properly anymore

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos. :haha:

WTF was that?

[GP]

The boy is fuckin tragic

[Mac76]

ceballos :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka hammers it, straight at Johnstone.

[Mac76]

Macca agrees that Saka meant the Chelsea goal (which of course he did) I take it all back :bow:

[Mac76]

my god Xhaka's so crap on the ball :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney. :lol:

[LDG]

Tierney. :lol:

Loved the BBC quote:

“21 Players look absolutely freezing, Tierney looks like he’s off to the beach” or something like that.

Lad is fucking balls out

[Mac76]

Tierney :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Auba......is crap

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka curls it in, Auba misses the ball from a yard out.

[Marc Overmars]

Auba probably should have poked that in.

Great play from Ceballos and Saka.

[Mac76]

damn

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka with another ball in and nobody really attacking it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goal is coming surely?

[Marc Overmars]

Xhaka being Xhaka. West Brom chance at the other end from his fuck up.

[Mac76]

Goal is coming surely?

not if Dani keeps pasing it back to the west brom goalie

[Marc Overmars]

TIERNEY!!

Quality goal.

[GP]

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

TIERNEY!!! :bow:

[Mac76]

Xhaka being Xhaka. West Brom chance at the other end from his fuck up.

he's hopeless

[Marc Overmars]

Snowing like shit now.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Kieran Tierney! Pick that mother out!

[Globalgunner]

Bloody Hell! Kieran Tierney with a Maradona goal

[Gooner23]

This is a mild winters night for KT, what a goal!

[Mac76]

goal of the season!!!

[Gooner23]

Saka doing more in 20 minutes than Willian and Pepe have all season at right wing.

[LDG]

Loved the BBC quote:

“21 Players look absolutely freezing, Tierney looks like he’s off to the beach” or something like that.

Lad is fucking balls out

Me :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Me :bow:

We owe it all to you

[Mac76]

laca :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Saka!!

What a move

[LDG]

We owe it all to you

I wouldn’t go that far. There’s only so much a man and a fridge full of lager can do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SAKA!!! What a goal!!!!

Artetaball. :bow:

[GP]

I am quite pleased.

[Gooner23]

Liquid football

[Xhaka Can’t]

I wouldn’t go that far. There’s only so much a man and a fridge full of lager can do.

:haha: Saka!

What a goal!

[LDG]

I am quite pleased.

Fatus Samus is not. Which makes it better

[Marc Overmars]

Easily the best 30 mins of football we’ve played all season.

[GP]

Fatus Samus is not. Which makes it better

He's also fat

[Mac76]

Saka!!!!!!!!!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fat Sam is fat

[Marc Overmars]

This is a mauling.

[Mac76]

Laca's completely reborn, just so much quicker, he's loving playing with these guys

[Gooner23]

Smith Rowe is very good at football

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette deflected thing nearly goes in.

Smith Rowe. :bow:

So good he's got two person's names.

[Xhaka Can’t]

This feeling of enjoyment sure feels weird.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding with a header, easy for Johnstone.

[LDG]

Smith Rowe is very good at football

The square ball was lovely, but that ball round the corner :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

This feeling of enjoyment sure feels weird.

Don’t worry Willian and Pepe might still come on.

[LDG]

This feeling of enjoyment sure feels weird.

My euphoria was swiftly cut short by my wife who is trying to get our eldest to sleep.

[Xhaka Can’t]

My euphoria was swiftly cut short by my wife who is trying to get our eldest to sleep.

I remember those days. My son is turning 16 in a couple of months. I’m long in bed before he turns in.

[Marc Overmars]

Holding with the worst pass of all time that goes out for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding. WTF? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ajeyi heads way wide.

[LDG]

I remember those days. My son is turning 16 in a couple of months. I’m long in bed before he turns in.

Woah!! Time flys man. Shit I feel old

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin booked.

[GP]

Ivanovic is old.

[Marc Overmars]

Laca blasts it from a tough angle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 HT. Well done. Apart from Auba, had a mare.

[Gooner23]

Best 45 of the season BY A LOT

[Marc Overmars]

So much more confidence and movement than we’ve seen all season. We look like we could make something happen with every attack.

Hopefully more of the same in the second half. Don’t want to see us revert to that conservative nonsense which hasn’t done us any good.

[RomfordPele]

Great first half. Tempted to take bellerin off after his yellow - slippery conditions and a ref looking to be a star again could be problematic. Is AMN or Soares on bench?

[Mac76]

0-2 HT. Well done. Apart from Auba, had a mare.

yeah he should have scored although tbf he's more lively than he's been for a long time

altogether a much better performance, playing like a team with purpose who can create fast moves and know how to score goals

ESR and Saka are really bolting themselves into the side, also Mari having another good game

Willian :rose:

[Mac76]

Great first half. Tempted to take bellerin off after his yellow - slippery conditions and a ref looking to be a star again could be problematic. Is AMN or Soares on bench?

AMN is

[Gooner23]

The difference with Saka at right wing is huge

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes he looks monstrous on that side with it opening up his left foot.

Not that he was bad at all on the left of course, he can still go on that side as shown against Brighton.

[RomfordPele]

AMN is

No brainer then. I thought it was a v soft yellow for his first tackle of the game in atrocious conditions.

Don’t give the ref the chance to compound the error - take him off.

[Gooner23]

Yes he looks monstrous on that side with it opening up his left foot.

Not that he was bad at all on the left of course, he can still go on that side as shown against Brighton.

Just plays with so much conviction. Happy to go either way, quick and positive. Pepe should be taking notes.

[Mac76]

No brainer then. I thought it was a v soft yellow for his first tackle of the game in atrocious conditions.

Don’t give the ref the chance to compound the error - take him off.

might be wise, in fact Bellerin did give away another FK after that yellow so he's running the risk for sure

[LDG]

Austin hoof face on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for WBA, they had hit the post also.

Wake up you berks.

[WMUG]

Why aren't they playing with a yellow ball? Can't see a bloody thing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh it was offside to begin with. Arsenal. :bow:

Definitely weren't sleepy then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why aren't they playing with a yellow ball? Can't see a bloody thing

Clearly. They are playing with a yellow ball.

[Marc Overmars]

Looks like the pitch is going to drastically reduce the quality of passing.

[WMUG]

Why aren't they playing with a yellow ball? Can't see a bloody thing

Turns out they are.

Me :pal:

[WMUG]

Clearly. They are playing with a yellow ball.

Should be orange then :p

[Xhaka Can’t]

Why aren't they playing with a yellow ball? Can't see a bloody thing

Are you watching on your phone? :Letters:

[WMUG]

Are you watching on your phone? :Letters:

My laptop. Does the job, generally :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wish they'd try playing on a green pitch.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I’m not sure I’ll see the rest of the game.

Women in my area are waiting to hook up with me.

[Xhaka Can’t]

My laptop. Does the job, generally :lol:

Well that would help, yes <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin off, AMN on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky Laca.

Well done Ceballos.

[Gooner23]

No brainer then. I thought it was a v soft yellow for his first tackle of the game in atrocious conditions.

Turns out they are.

Me :pal:

:lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Get Auba off and bring on someone who might do something.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Too bad the pitch conditions suck. We were brilliant first half, but it is definitely affecting our passing now.

[GP]

LACA!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Laca!!

Pinaball. Almost a hilarious own goal before that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!

WBA love trying outrageous OG's.

[GP]

0-3

STOP THE COUNT!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laca!!

Pinaball. Almost a hilarious own goal before that.

Sawyers nearly somehow didn't score most embarrassing OG for them this season.

[Mac76]

Laca!!!!!!!!!

[Globalgunner]

The WBA player Ajayi is clearly an Arsenal fan. Twice tried to put it in the net for us and lmost gave away a pen too. No matter its 3-0 KT, Saka, Laca.

[LDG]

I’m not sure I’ll see the rest of the game.

Women in my area are waiting to hook up with me.

When did she call you for dinner? It’ll be cold by now

[GP]

LACA!!!


4!

[Marc Overmars]

Laca!!

We’ve scored 4 :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Classy finish. :haha:

[Mac76]

f*****g hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Letters]

Fat (C***) Sam :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ancient Man Ivanovic off, Bartley on.

[Mac76]

+1 goal difference :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Willian coming on :rolleyes:

[LDG]

It’s just like watching Leeds!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian coming on. :lol:

[Mac76]

ceballos brings things back down to earth :lol:

[Mac76]

Willian coming on. :lol:

:ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gallagher booked. Scrote.

[Marc Overmars]

Willian on for Saka :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka off, Willian on.

[Marc Overmars]

Willian’s first action is to fail to beat his man then give the ball away cheaply.

[Mac76]

Willian gives the ball away

[LDG]

Willian’s first action is to fail to beat his man then give the ball away cheaply.

If there is any reason why Korbacian or whatever his name is should never be anywhere near this club.

[Marc Overmars]

Willian and Auba combine.

Bums.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian and Auba the pub twins.

[Marc Overmars]

Tierney must have beaten his man every single time. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock coming on.

Y u no Martinelli? :threaten:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Austin. :lol:

[GP]

Austin. :lol:

And that's the bottom line

[Mac76]

Austin :lol:

[Gooner23]

Mari is quietly efficient, will be good cover for Gabriel. Even Ceballos has turned up for this one!

[Marc Overmars]

Auba at least gets a shot on target

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Phillips off, Harper on.

[Mac76]

we should bring martinelli on to just for some more fresh energy

[Globalgunner]

Willian and Auba combine.

Bums.

£500,000 per week worth of bum

[Mac76]

another shit corner from Willian

[Marc Overmars]

Willock never looks like he has the ball under control.

[Mac76]

AMN's been a bit clumsy too

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock's heading. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian did a thing. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 0-4 Arsenal, FT. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Easy peasy

[Mac76]

4 - 0 Arsenal

told you Arteta would come good... :whistle:

[LDG]

Mikey Tets :bow:
