Steve Sidwell again :ilt:

[Mac76]

oop 'n' under from Tierney

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Willian at all. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sokratis cleared.

[Mac76]

No Willian at all. :faint:

that hadn't occurred to me :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe with a good run, beat the keeper, shot gets scuffed, deflected and bobbles behind for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good header from Gabriel again.

[Mac76]

Leno :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Leno.

Route 1 opened us up. :lol:

[Mac76]

Great save from Leno.


then puts it out of play from a GK :lol:

[Mac76]

Ceballos :haha:

[Mac76]

Auba :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass from Ceballos, weird finish from Auba.

[Letters]

Great save from Leno.

Route 1 opened us up. :lol:

It was a good save, but vaguely competent finishing and we’d have been 1-0 down and putting ourselves under unnecessary pressure again.

Us :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Auba decides to punt it over when clean through.

Awful, no composure at all.

Unlike him.
Well. It’s a bit like him this season. Weird though, he’s been so clinical the last couple of seasons

[Mac76]

i guess it's what happens when you get publicly humiliated by your manager...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel boots it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

i guess it's what happens when you get publicly humiliated by your manager...

What about the one against Benfica?

[Mac76]

What about the one against Benfica?

he messed up :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bad touch from Pepe, good ball from Auba despite being berated by Arteta on the sidelines.

[Mac76]

Pepe...

[Mac76]

Sidwell having a go at Auba even though he played a great pass and Pepe messed up

[Mac76]

Xhaka puts it out of play then looks around for someone else to blame :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[Mac76]

shocking play from Luiz

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey and Odegaard coming on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny and Ceballos hauled off for Partey and Odegaard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe hammers it, beautiful defending from ESR.

[Mac76]

good block from ESR from Pepe

[Marc Overmars]

ESR with a stunning bit of defending there.

[dazthegooner]

Yep our defenders should take note.

[Mac76]

that FK was so bad it could have been one of ours

[LDG]

One side of the pitch it forceful, on the front foot and looks good. The other half is slow and gay....which is weird from a pacey gay combination

[LDG]

Isengard is awesome...sort of

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard skies it.

[LDG]

We’re taking the Arsenal with Odegaard to Isengard

[Mac76]

wonderful through ball from Odegaard then hits it over...

[LDG]

Auba needs to fuck off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe with the Henry 2006 CL Final finish. :(

[Mac76]

Auba needs to fuck off

stupid tackle for sure

[LDG]

Amd again. Auba needs to fuck off

[GP]

Aight, I'm gonna head out

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aubameyang. :haha:

Welbeck finish.

[Marc Overmars]

Auba :haha:

What a bum.

[LDG]

Smith Rowe is fucked again.

[Mac76]

Amd again. Auba needs to fuck off

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli is on for ESR. :bow:

Bellerin off, Chambers on.

[Mac76]

Martinelli is on

playing in a game

:faint:

[LDG]

Lamela with another red card

[Mac76]

Ba bye :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli already making an impact. :bow:

[Mac76]

Ba sent off. :haha:

[LDG]

Some doctor feeling Lamela’s head

[Marc Overmars]

The guy who was sent off is crying and getting a head massage.

Football :haha:

[LDG]

Serves the cunt right for wearing a bra

[Mac76]

Serves the cunt right for wearing a bra

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka gets a yellow. :faint:

[GP]

Serves the cunt right for wearing a bra

Ha! What a stupid bitch

[Letters]

Xhaka gets a yellow. :faint:

:haha:

I'm struggling to remember watching a game where that hasn't happened.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli. :bow:

[Mac76]

good attempt from Auba

[Mac76]

:haha:

I'm struggling to remember watching a game where that hasn't happened.

[Mac76]

Odegaard is real quality, no doubt

[LDG]

Odegaard is real quality, no doubt

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT. Professional? :lol:

Not really but oh well, on we stumble.

[Letters]

Well this has been a complete shit show, but 0-1 FT an we are through, despite the performance rather than because of it.

[Marc Overmars]

Pub team beats the other pub team and goes through to the next round of the pub competition.

[Mac76]

I'll take that, he rested some players that needed resting so fair enough, but Xhaka and Luiz's non-negotiability goes on...
