Arsenal v Swansea Saturday 10th September 15:00

[Xhaka Can’t]

tip-tap-tedium.

That is what it is.

Tip tap tedium for 50 quid a match.

Sweet - we're getting all the half time goals and action from around the league on Fox Soccer.

Boring stuff; hoping to see Park Young in the second half. The smart move would be to take Arshavin off and put Benayoun on - I think Benayoun would be a 'busier' play to make sure we push forward.

There's clearly no statement of intent here - nobody's looking to prove a point...which is disappointing, I guess. It's just a case of trying to pick up 3 points and against Swansea at home that should never really be an issue.

RVP is going to have a season like Cesc this year. He's been made captain effectively as a bribe so that he signs a contract. However, he's going to stink the place up this season, playing consistently shite but not being dropped by Wenger. At the end of the season, he'll whine that the club can't match his ambitions, and he'll be off.
This guy really is a charlatan IMO.

What a shite performance. We're really lucky to be leading 1-0. Walcott has been awful, this guy doesn't seem to be getting better. His decision making is terrible, and he's incable of delivering good crosses. All he's good at is running really fast in a straight line.

If this is what is to come for the rest of the season, this is going to be one long, hard year for us.

And RVP has been poor as well. Bring Young on please.

For the first time ever you are right about RvP. He's been poor today. Then again having to rely on Gibbs, Sagna and Walcott to link the play doesn't give him much chance except through the middle where he's sort of got a few things going with Arteta. Arteta must be laughing his arse off at how slow we play, easy street compared to any normal PL team.

The front 3 just aren't working well together. None of them are playing in their preferred positions and they're trying to switch and swap but it's not working out. I see Theo and Arshavin and swapping flanks and going to the centre while RVP hasn't got a clue where to go. It's mess up front.

And then you ruined it.

Arteta's probably thinking how much more fluent Everton were compared to us today.

RVP is isolated this 4-5-1 is bollox

On the goal...that was pretty well taken by fat arse, wasn't it? Looked quite difficult on the replay - first time, fairly tight angle. Natural ability imho.
