[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robin Koch.

[Globalgunner]

Robin Koch.

There's also a guy called Klich in the team. So all reproductive organs are well represented

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[GP]

oof

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How hasn't Lacazette or Saka scored?!

[GP]

No exaggeration to say we could be 10-0 up already

[dazthegooner]

No disrespect to the youngsters of Leeds but we should really be increasing our gd in the match before the Citey game.

[Mac76]

odegaard :doh:

[GP]

MARTINELLIIIIIII!!!!!

[Letters]

BBC


Arsenal become the third club to score 7,000 goals in the English top flight, after Everton (7,139) and Liverpool (7,069).

[dazthegooner]

yes, we're doing well even with 10 men ;)

It was only because the inclusion of Xkaka that the game was allowed to go ahead us giving Leeds a chance :unsure:

[Mac76]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Meslier denies Tierney.

[Mac76]

[GP]

[Letters]

:lol:

I heard that goal from my neighbour a few minutes back.
Then I saw it on here.
Then I saw it on the BBC

BBC :haha:

7001 :bow:

[Globalgunner]

All those 1 nil to the Arsenal games must have held us back through the years

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Meslier denies Laca.

[GP]

Could easily be 74 nil

[Mac76]

odegaard should have hit that first time then

[Mac76]

are Leeds really singing "We're shit and we're proud of it"? :lol:

[GP]

SAKAAAAA

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SAKA!!!!

[Mac76]

3-0 :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Can we play them every week

[GP]

Carving them open.

Should be more than 3, truth be told.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can we play them every week

We might be the only two teams available to play the way things are going.

[Mac76]

Saka still takes too many touches sometimes

[Mac76]

We might be the only two teams available to play the way things are going.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 HT. :bow:

[Mac76]

3-0 up at HT

Bielsa :pal:

[Letters]

0-3

At least

Or else.
:gp:

[dazthegooner]

Just seen the team in the tunnel it seemed that Odegaard was the one shouting instructions rather than Laca.

[GP]

We want twelve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nutmeg from Xhaka. :bow:

[Mac76]

Xhaka being a **** as usual

if Arteta still thinks he's fit to be captain there's just no hope

[dazthegooner]

Zhaka trying his hardest to get his usual yellow card <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thought that'd be a red for Xhaka.

That was nasty.

[Globalgunner]

Xhaka doesnt like the score, trying to even things up with a Granite moment

[dazthegooner]

Xhaka being a **** as usual

Think if he was going to get sent off the Leeds players would plead for him to stay on...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gelhardt gets a yellow. :lol:

[Ollie the Optimist]

That should have been a red for Xhaka.

Literally does something stupid every game but arteta does fuck all as he keeps starting him

[Mac76]

Xhaka doesnt like the score, trying to even things up with a Granite moment

Doesn't even get booked, then the Leeds player does - puts paid to the "if that was Xhaka he'd be off" conspiracy theory ;)

[GP]

Tomiyasu is quality

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tomiyasu. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dallas booked.

[Mac76]

Roberts :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tomiyasu coming off, Cedric on.

[Mac76]

this is boring now, we want more goals Arsenal ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Close from Saka.

[Mac76]

Laca :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odegaard off, Smith Rowe on.

I presume.

[Mac76]

ESR coming on :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Leeds.

[Mac76]

[Mac76]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Letters]

Steward! - kick 'im out !

:(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deleted that.

[Letters]

Deleted that.

:lol:

Did you delete it when another poster wrote the exact same thing about Son?


(No, no you didn’t) #modwars

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Show me the post and I'll delete it.

[Letters]

Fuck the mods! :angry:

[Marc Overmars]

Expected win but the main thing for me is that we looked a threat all game and racked up more goals.

Norwich away next followed by Wolves at home, so more of the same and we will be in a healthy position. Then it’s City on New Year’s Day…

[I am invisible]

The turnovers from defence to attack are so fast now! The keeper gets it, it goes forward. The defenders win it, it goes forward. The midfielders win it, it goes forward. The forwards win it, they’re running straight at goal. Night and day from last year.

Ødegaard and Martinelli adding credible goal threat really has unlocked our attack - now we have 4 forwards on the pitch at any given time that defenders have to keep an eye on instead of just 1 or 2 who you can double-up on while you leave the ‘passers’ in non-threatening areas, aiming at no one.

[Mac76]

Yes, it's much more dynamic and much more goal threat.

have to say though that it's been more luck than Arteta's judgement, if Auba hadn't got on the wrong side of him he'd probably still be largely ignoring Martinelli

[ed:] and that's on top of his only introducing ESR and Saka when he had no choice

[Bumble]

Yes, it's much more dynamic and much more goal threat.

have to say though that it's been more luck than Arteta's judgement, if Auba hadn't got on the wrong side of him he'd probably still be largely ignoring Martinelli

it does alot with Arteta - Smith Rowe only played when we were short. Martinelli only played when we were short.

we did make some really good signings in the summer though. amazing what a quality keeper and right back can add to the side. excellent age profile of the team as well.

even Xhaka passsed a ball forward yesterday. downside is i think we lack depth really... i am waiting for our injury crisis to occur
