Borussia Dortmund v Arsenal Tuesday 13th September 19:45 SS4

[Cripps_orig]

Walnut with a conversion...2 points!

Shit pass to him tbh.

He needed the ball in front of him, not to his feet

[Cripps_orig]

Arteta bleeding

Out for the season

[Syn]

Arteta bleeding

Good stuff. Straight up as well.

Too many of our players would usually shy out of that challenge.

[Cripps_orig]

Kehls a bit shit

[WengerISaLizard]

Arteta is a tough cunt, his up after getting a flying headbutt

[Maestro]

Warrior Arteta, Warrior ..good defensive header

[AKBapologist]

Shit pass to him tbh.

He needed the ball in front of him, not to his feet
Was a shit shot though.

[Özim]

Shit pass to him tbh.

He needed the ball in front of him, not to his feet
Doesn't really excuse the shot that ended up almost outside the stadium though.

[Cripps_orig]

Gervinho with another great chance

[WengerISaLizard]

Do dortmund have any gamechangers on the bench?

[V-Pig]

Another excellent challenge by The Song.

[AKBapologist]

Dortmund playing a dangerous game.

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal corner

[Cripps_orig]

Easy for the keeper

Let Arteta take the corners ffs

[WengerISaLizard]

why do we always take shit Freekicks

[Maestro]

Stop moaning you cunts and talk about this beast of a match for us, which we're currently leading.

Spot on, what a match we have on our hands!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our deadball football makes me want to kill myself.

[Maestro]

Song has redeemed himself ..maybe, with a couple of outstanding standing tackles

[Cripps_orig]

Song has been immense this half

[WengerISaLizard]

SUPER SONG!

come on arsenal!

who have we got on the bench?

[Maestro]

I take it all back dopeman, Song that was really good defensive play

[Cripps_orig]

Double substitution for Dortmund

We need Grimandi to come on and close the game out tbh

[Syn]

The lack of organisation (which is obviously not going to be solved overnight) is putting us under a lot of pressure - a lot of the 'offside traps' aren't landing but there is no lack of commitment from any player. I can get used to that much, at least.

Lets have some fresh legs - get that Park guy on.

[WengerISaLizard]

they do love a name at dortmund, jesus

one guy changed his name to kuba because it was ridiculous

[AKBapologist]

RVP :bow:

[Xhaka Can’t]

[V-Pig]

RVP getting crap for nothing there? Whiny Dortmund wankers.

Yeah, right? Insulting their players. Weird, right?

[Syn]

Walcott has been awful. Wenger should've made a sub 10 mins ago.

[Coney]

Walcott has been awful. Rice should've made a sub 10 mins ago.

Fixed it for you.

[Xhaka Can’t]

my stream died.

help!!!

[Cripps_orig]

Schmelzer booked

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo off, Frimpong on.

[Cripps_orig]

Frimpong on for Theo

[Newguy]

Frimpong on Theo off:shrug:

[Coney]

my stream died.

help!!!

[V-Pig]

Petulant by Smellzer.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crazy stupid substitution. Why change things when we're holding them. Why take a player who might get one more break off and replace with a player who has no experience at this level and has also been very unreliable in terms of discipline? Crazy stupid substitution.

[WengerISaLizard]

fuck, offside by rvp, good chance

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't think Walcott had done anything to suggest he might make use of any opportunity that might come his way. The aim of the game is defending. Adding in a more defensively minded player seems like a reasonable choice.

[Cripps_orig]

Sagna was booked

[Cripps_orig]

Thank fuck Subotic shoots straight at the keeper

[Niall_Quinn]

Provided Frimpong can keep his head for 15 minutes, so maybe, maybe not.

Well stopped Chesney.

[Coney]

When I went on there, I just let it run the 30 second ad down and then wonga bonga, it all came up nice. :)

[Thierrymon]

:faint:

[WengerISaLizard]

chesney saved our butts there

[Cripps_orig]

Gotze wide

[Newguy]

Tactics have been shocking from Wenger and Rice, so negative

[V-Pig]

As an aside, how much more confident can we feel with Sneezey in goal? He's such a fucking legend, and so young. He's our Casillas.

[The Dismantler]

chesney saved our butts there

with his butt (no pun in-ten-did)

[WengerISaLizard]

do we have no good technical players, because we are always passing back to the keeper in this game, poor team peformance

[Xhaka Can’t]

Got a fuckin brilliant stream!!!

One of the best ever!!!!

Barca v Milan :banghead:

[GP]

He'll never go to Madrid either.

[Cripps_orig]

Chamakh on for RVP

Hoping he continues his good CL form

Santos also coming on i think

[Coney]

Got a fuckin brilliant stream!!!

One of the best ever!!!!

Barca v Milan :banghead:

That Fabregas can really play, eh?

[AKBapologist]

Oh man...

[Master Splinter]

Captain Song :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Santos on for Forehead

Zidan came on for Dortmund

Good player he is

[Niall_Quinn]

Chamakh on, RvP off. Anyone got any ideas? Anyone?

Santos for Gervino.

[V-Pig]

SONG CAPTAIN. I JUST CAME.

[hymppi]

lawrence fishburn on for us

[WengerISaLizard]

no strikers or wingers, we are trying to hold out

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1. What a goal.

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

Great goal

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck. Hit and hope goes in. 1-1.

[Özim]

1-1 Perisic, well deserved.

Great finish.

[Thierrymon]

Nooooooooo, it was coming to be honest.

Good hit.

[hymppi]

what a beauty.

[V-Pig]

I like the look of Benny.

[fakeyank]

Looks like we wont be progressing through the group stages after all..

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1

Great goal

Nothing great about it because 90% of the goal is luck, 10% technique. Now we'll lose. Shouldn't have fucked with the team, we were doing okay.

[Master Splinter]

Great strike.

[WengerISaLizard]

we were shite the whole match tbh, this is still a result for us

[Cripps_orig]

Could do f all about that goal.

No one at fault for that

[fakeyank]

Fuck. Hit and hope goes in. 1-1.

No worries mate.. we have Chamakh!!

[Newguy]

Arteta:censored:

Exactly

[Coney]

I'd have taken 1-1 if it had been offered before the match and I think most Arsenal fans would have too.

[Maestro]

We had battled hard, but it was the least Dortmund deserved tonight ...fantastic strike by the way.

Good effort physically and defensively tonight but it wasn't to be, Dortmund were technically superior.

I'll take a draw, well done lads ..good effort.

[Newguy]

Arteta is dead on his feet right now, amazed that he's still on the pitch

[Power n Glory]

Anyone really surprised?

[Newguy]

Wenger/rice takes off the front 3 and we concede, what great tactics

[Cripps_orig]

Wenger/rice takes off the front 3 and we concede, what great tactics

No one is to blame for that goal

[WengerISaLizard]

Europe are you watching? :crying:

The mighty Arsenal, home to legends like Henry and fabregas and .....chamakh?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bender booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 full time. Good result.

[Syn]

Wenger/rice takes off the front 3 and we concede, what great tactics

Lets have some perspective instead of throwing our toys out the pram...it didn't matter who was on the pitch; it was just a brilliant, brilliant goal.

[Özim]

1-1 lucky draw against a Dortmund lacking a cutting edge up front.

[hymppi]

good to see us getting a point from this.

[Coney]

1-1 full time. Good result.

Yup, like I said, I'd have settled for that gratefully before the match.

[Power n Glory]

No one is to blame for that goal

No attacking outlet and that is what led to that goal. Taking off all of our attackers and focusing on defence with no counter attacking outlet was suicide.

[milla]

1-1 full time. Good result.

Good result, undone by great goal. Dortmund is clearly the fav in this group. :coffee:

[Coney]

No attacking outlet and that is what led to that goal. Taking off all of our attackers and focusing on defence with no counter attacking outlet was suicide.

Yes - I think you need to keep a credible attack on the pitch to keep them from pushing too many players forward. Never understood why we keep taking them off near the end.

[Özim]

Wenger's face after the goal :haha:

[server too busy!]

Fuck me champions of Germany away, thats a good result. What the fuck is wrong with you guys, moan about absolutely anything!

[Niall_Quinn]

Substitutions almost turned a win into a loss but Chesney made the vital save to get us the draw. Going down to ten men in last few minutes made it really tough for us so I suppose a good result in the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good result, undone by great goal. Dortmund is clearly the fav in this group. :coffee:

They've drawn at home, we haven't. I'd say we're favourites at the moment tbf.

[Maestro]

True, I can understand if we are at least 2 goals up but at 1-0 .. not so wise methinks

[Niall_Quinn]

No attacking outlet and that is what led to that goal. Taking off all of our attackers and focusing on defence with no counter attacking outlet was suicide.

I can see the theory, bolster the defence and leave one man up as the outlet. Regrettably that one man up top was Chamakh so that effectively reduced us to 10. Taking Theo off and replacing him with Frimpong was a stupid substitution but not overly damaging. However taking Gervinho off and bringing on a full back, WOW, that's a thick as it gets. Dortmund gladly accepted the invitation and almost won it in the end. We have a terrible manager and terrible coaches.

[RomfordPele]

Good result, great equaliser, crap substitutions.

Still big, big problems at Arsenal though.

[milla]

They've drawn at home, we haven't. I'd say we're favourites at the moment tbf.

Yeah but performance wise they were better. We had luck on our side but they had theirs too. Hopefully later we will start to gain the same fluidity as their side. :coffee:

Yeah, I felt the same. It was a bad sub with Gerv. :coffee:

[GP]

It ain't easy being white
It ain't easy being brown
All this pressure to be bright
I got children all over town...
