A win!
We are still a major project in progress
Top 10 :scarf:
I'm ordering in some horse placenta for RVP.
RVP :bow:.
Joker :haha:.
3 points in the bag.
we'd be relegated if we didn't have rvp. :lol:
give him all the gold in the world.
Arshavin and Rosicky awesome, what happened!
RvP :bow:
Much improved 2nd half after the pathetic ending to the 1st.
Good performances from Song, Arshavin when he came on and Rosicky in flashes.
City will be giving him that next summerQuote:

Anyway, a much needed 3 points. I'm sure it will be another close game vs Stoke next week, lets hope RVP has another gem up his sleeve.
RVP. :bow:
Sign him up.
Pathetic performance from most of the players. If we play like that against any half decent side, we'll lose and lose well. However, no doubt this win will paper over the cracks that exist in this team, and you'll get the AKB's getting all smug and claiming "I told you so".
arshavin has to start the next game in place of walcott!
song was a beast defensively, and nice to have mertesacker to get his noggin on the long balls they punted into our area at the end.
rosicky also deserves a lot of credit, provided some real energy going forward - who knew he could run that fast!
oh yeah, and rvp. he was pretty good.
edit: let rvp take every free kick from now on please. no more walcott.
RVP, Song, Arshavin and Rosicky were our best players. Great skill and heart shown from each of them. RVP stole the show. Another goal with his right foot and wonderful freekick...at last.
It is sheer managerial incompetence to continue starting Arteta and Theo
Well done RVP, Rosicky, Arshy ...made an effort to create something and continued to plug away
3 points needed, 3 points won. Onwards we go, inspite of our incompetent manager
truth be told we are 1 excellent keeper and 1 outstanding striker away from being bottom of the league but today we got the win. Some players are still laughably poor, Walcott, Rosicky are irredeemably poor. They are not worth their own weight in horse crap.
Good performance from RVP, Rosicky, Arshavin and Schehekfgkjgfhgdh. Song was good defensively but his passing was awful. Theo was utterly useless. God knows why he wasn't subbed. Arteta was non-existent.
We are a mid table side now. We have one quality player and that's it.
Still 3 points which is all that matters.
I thought it was a good performance - on the front foot for most of the match, and could easily have won by more had things gone a little more our way. Arshavin's brilliant run and shot just wide, Van Persie hitting the inside of the post. We were in danger of tailing off a bit after 65 mins but Arshavin did very well to take us up a gear.
Van Persie made the difference but I thought Rosicky put in a very strong performance - showed great character with his drives forward and ambitious passing when heads around were starting to drop.
I would be tempted to try Gervinho on the right and Arshavin on the left...Arshavin has been showing signs of getting back to his best this season.
I am not a Rosicky fan and there is enough testament of that but he was good today. I was surprised he was subbed but Israel did a good job in his place as wellQuote:

Thought Jenkinson had a decent game. Hopefully he can show the sort of consistency we expect from Sagna.
:lol: That line by Wenger about "super quality" sounds even more ridiculous now, given how mediocre Arteta's looking at the moment, and with Metersacker and Santos not pulling up any trees either.Quote:

Theo, Ramsey & Arteta, have had enough starts but have not in my opinion justified a continued run in the side. They need to be on the bench or it will cost us games.
YepQuote:

Merts. :bow:
Germans. :bow:
Oh what the hell..
RVP. :bow:
For a young kid with no experience at this level, I think he is doing well ...too bad he had to be thrown in like that but hope he continues to improve.Quote:

Russia qualify for the Euros = Asharvin has his mojo back,, he looked awesome and correct me if i am wrong was he playing off RVP?
Song is getting closer and closer to becoming a truly class footballer.
Per did a good job, and Gervhinio first half looked tricky and threatening, and his football was not half bad either.
Theo - fcuk me this guy is playing some shit football
Now Mr Wenger surely you can give Ryo, Oxo and Park a chance.
PS....that was the Rosicky i remember from 2008
Lots of positives to work on, and this is still without Wilshire, Diaby and Veermalean...guess things can get better after all...
as well as robin did, we owe that win to a moment of genius and a world class save from chesney. without that we wouldnt have won
Don't worry City are top the league that should please you. You can't even admit you were wrong about RVP and give him the praise he desrves today.Quote:

Not suited to his game at all.
I don't think he was bad today. But that's by default as he rarely got on the ball. He normally has 1 or 2 games a month where he can stretch teams but given how compact we make games, he's almost redundant at lot of the time.
I think he started off as a straight swap for Gervinho on the left. Then we was throwing the kitchen sink so Arshavin was moving about all over the place including wide right.Quote:

We haven't got many players who can play well on the right but I really can't work out why we're not trying Oxo there. He might not be brilliant but he seems busy enough to get involved more and cause problems for defenders. Theo can't take anyone on from the right side.
Good win, RVP was immense and led from the front like a captain should tbh, Arshavin was good, as was merts and Kos and having song back in the middle showed us what we were missing. Jenkinson i have to say the boy did good tbh, its good to see a defender of ours who knows the basics. its his inexprience that lets him down a bit.
Hopefully when TV5 comes back he can guide him.
Ju :lol:.
Should have signed for Lille.
Meh the shirts are rolling in he is getting paid its all good lolQuote:
