Kane hatter? :sick:

[Mac76]

Kane hatter? :sick:

I didn't want to say it... :(

[GP]

Today is the day Partey finally bloots one in

[dazthegooner]

If we can go 90 minutes without making any error's (Long shot I know) we should win this.

[Letters]

If we can go 90 minutes without making any errors.

:haha:

[Mac76]

:haha:

:gp:

[dazthegooner]

:haha:

Yeah what was I thinking :shrug: Especially as it looks like Luiz will be starting.

[Mac76]

something to watch while we're waiting to lose - even if their captain gets more goals ours has a chrome-wrapped ferrari

Auba :bow:

[Mac76]

Yeah what was I thinking :shrug: Especially as it looks like Luiz will be starting.

that's us down to nine men then (assuming Xhaka's starting too)

[dazthegooner]

that's us down to nine men then (assuming Xhaka's starting too)

Would have hoped Gabriel would have kept his place with Mari returning and sadly Xhaka is probably the best we have right now :(

[Mac76]

Would have hoped Gabriel would have kept his place with Mari returning

Yes


Xhaka is probably the best we have right now :(

No

[Ollie the Optimist]

Looking forward to the Kane dive to win a penalty.

[Mac76]

...and Sonofabitch breaking someone's leg and then bursting into tears

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If we can go 90 minutes without making any error's (Long shot I know) we should win this.

I'd take 9 minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What happened with Mari?

We announced we had no injuries so that wasn't going to last.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Auba dropped for disciplinary reasons apprently but arteta won’t provide details.

Oh FFS. Just give them the points and let us have 2 hours of our life yet

:doh:

[Mac76]

What happened with Mari?

doesn't run around enough traffic cones

[Mac76]

Auba dropped for disciplinary reasons apprently but arteta won’t provide details.


Shambles

WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Mac76]

No Martinelli at all. :rolleyes:

i've seen something on twitter saying he asked to be left out for family reasons, but obvs we don't know that for sure, i've heard not everything on twitter is true...

[Mac76]

pepe does the gangsta thing :lol:

https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/1371125285177950214

[Mac76]

Apparently Auba was late in today.

ok, so not great bahaviour but does it merit torpedoing the side before kick-off?

would he do it to Xhaka?

hmmm....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky TV issue again so will be behind everyone again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Mac76]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

oh the futility... :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nice flick from Laca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent start.

[Mac76]

Decent start.

shhhh...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale with the pointless show-off cross.

[Mac76]

Leno clears upfield :clap:

[Mac76]

xhaka :doh:

[GP]

ESR OFF THE BAR!

[Mac76]

great effort from ESR

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So unlucky ESR.

[Letters]

ESR OFF THE BAR!

What a hit!
We are pwning them at the moment.
Need to make it count.

[Mac76]

injury to Sonofabitch? :pray:

[GP]

Son is dead.

They'll get some PEDs in him and he'll be alright.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son off, Lamela on.

Same dive threat.

[Mac76]

Ndombele takes up WWF

[Mac76]

usual Partey special

[GP]

If we're going to attempt a billion crosses we might want to get players in the box.

[GP]

ESR is great

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette, how did it go so wide?!

[Mac76]

If we're going to attempt a billion crosses we might want to get players in the box.

yeah we're not getting forward enough, there's very few options for players like Odegaard when they look up to play the pass

[GP]

Well in Xhaka

[Mac76]

Well in Xhaka

he's now working on getting his yellow by starting an argument with Lamela

[GP]

he's now working on getting his yellow by starting an argument with Lamela

Well in Xhaka

[Ollie the Optimist]

he's now working on getting his yellow by starting an argument with Lamela

Lamela is one of the dirtiest players in the league. Always kicking out and stamping etc but he never ever gets done for it.

[Mac76]

Lamela is one of the dirtiest players in the league. Always kicking out and stamping etc but he never ever gets done for it.

we know but Xhaka should know that starting a row will just get him booked

[Ollie the Optimist]

we know but Xhaka should know that starting a row will just get him booked

Agreed but i wish the referees wised up to Lamela and his antics.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Lamela. Oh fuck off.

[Mac76]

first goal spuds, two more to go

[LDG]

Bollocks

[Mac76]

typical Arsenal game, start well but don't score then the other team scores with their first shot

[Gooner23]

Every fucking time this happens against Mourinho, beyond ridiculous now.

[Ollie the Optimist]

First attack for spurs, first goal after we dominate the first half hour.

Also dropping your captain and best goal scorer in the biggest game of the season is not that great a plan.

It’s becoming harder and harder to justify Arteta staying in his job

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cedric with a shot on target. :bow:

[Letters]

My stream died. Found another and we were 1-0 down :doh:
How many times are we going to dominate games and then concede from the first chance the other team have? :rolleyes:

[Mac76]

why didn't Laca shoot ffs????

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cedric hits the post! Fuck sake.

[Mac76]

has to be said Auba would've scored then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reguilon booked. Run at him!

[Mac76]

[Letters]

Played it off the defender and in. He’s that good :cool:

Martin Tyler’s maths needs some work

[GP]

Martin Tyler’s maths needs some work

And his face

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin Tyler can't believe the half time whistle hadn't gone when two added minutes had been added on and it hadn't hit 47 minutes yet. :doh:

[Mac76]

And his face

happy to oblige :threaten: :lol:

[Mac76]

o jeez they're calling Lamela's goal "one of the best ever in the PL"... :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

o jeez they're calling Lamela's goal "one of the best ever in the PL"... :ilt:

Print the DVD/Blu-Rays now...

:lol:

Was pretty good tbf, but calm down.

[Mac76]

looks like spuds kicked saka out of the game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka off, Pepe on.

Saka. :(

Also, Becky Lynch's theme music. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette would've been way offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESR. :bow:

[Mac76]

no way was that a spuds throw

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doherty. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette with a shot on target.

Stat padding. :bow:

[GP]

Good effort LAca

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale hauled off. :haha:

Sissoko on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ndombele off, Dele Alli on

[Mac76]

another Partey special :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!

[Mac76]

PEL!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laca scuffed it and then gets fouled. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!!!

[GP]

GET THE fuck IN!!

[Mac76]

YES!!!!!!

[Mac76]

Laca scuffed it and then gets fouled. :lol:

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Mourinho is unhappy. :cloud9:

[Letters]

Come on!! Let’s twat these twats!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nice pel.

Coolly taken.

Unlike his shot attempt

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard with the tekkers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lamela booked.

Sanchez was also.

[Mac76]

xhaka wastes two FKs in the space of thirty seconds

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane cross. Eek.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lamela header, Leno saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka supporting the attacks. :rose:

[Ollie the Optimist]

Lamela lunge on xhaka there. Obviously no second yellow

[GP]

Odegaard's technique is ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane is a cunt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lamela sent off!

:haha:

[Ollie the Optimist]

Kane with teh classic “let the opposition know your there” tackle on Gabriel

[GP]

Lamela OFF!

Cheerio! Shove your rabona up your shitted arse hole.

[Mac76]

Lamela off :haha:

[Mac76]

Kane is a cunt.

:gp:

[Letters]

:lol:

:wave:

[Mac76]

that's a straight red surely?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESR off, Willian on.

[GP]

that's a straight red surely?

Only if you play for Arsenal.

[Mac76]

all going so well, so Arteta brings Willian on...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who scores a Goal of the Season contender and gets sent off in the same match? :haha:

[GP]

Xhaka :bow:

What a man

[Mac76]

Xhaka :bow:

What a man

it was an ok tackle i guess ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey gifts a corner.

[Ollie the Optimist]

that's a straight red surely?

I really dont undertstand this rule.

I thought an elbow/fist to the fact is violent conduct. Violent conduct is a red card or nothing so how do referees get away with booking players for it

[Mac76]

Partey :doh:

here comes the stupid mistake

[Mac76]

Partey's having a mare

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka gets a yellow. :faint:

[Xhaka Can’t]

We’ve barely touched the ball since the sending off.

Which may be a good thing if Partey’s touch is anything to go by.

[Mac76]

Xhaka yellow duly given

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Kane. :pal:

[Niall_Quinn]

You can't fault the lads for the effort being made to chuck this away.

[Mac76]

k*** offside :haha:

[GP]

How the hell are we on the back foot since the red :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno fisting.

[Mac76]

How the hell are we on the back foot since the red :haha:

playing football the Arsenal way

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Elneny on.

[GP]

Why the FUCK is Elneny coming on??

[Mac76]

Elneny comes on to tie things up from 30 yards

[Mac76]

nice of Partey to become spuds' eleventh man

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane hit the post, Gabriel with a goal saving clearance!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Look like a team that can't quite believe we're beating a Mourinho side.

[Mac76]

FFS Arsenal c'mon

[GP]

If we throw this away Letters should do the honourable thing and resign.

[Mac76]

5 mins ET :faint:

[Ollie the Optimist]

We were so good up until the red card.

Been complete shit since then.

[Xhaka Can’t]

An almost completely assured performance until the sending off.

Followed by a 15 minute comedy show.

[Mac76]

An almost completely assured performance until the sending off.

Followed by a 15 minute comedy show.

i'm not laughing :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5 mins ET :faint:

Martin Tyler can't believe the whistle hasn't already gone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giving away foul after foul.

[GP]

Martin Tyler can't believe the whistle hasn't already gone.

Bless him, he's just enjoying his Thursday.

[Marc Overmars]

Utterly dreadful since the red.

:sick:

[LDG]

Get in!!! Well played boys!!

[Marc Overmars]

Eat shit Mourinho.

[GP]

GET THE FUCK IN!!

Suck my fucking penis Mourinho

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT!!!!

Verdasco's mighty lefty takes down Mourinho now. :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Thank fuck.

Had we given them a point after the first 75 min of such an assured performance, it would’ve felt like an awful defeat.
