Arsenal

[carlito]

I just worry about crosses and set-pieces with the height of players we are going to be fielding today.

[Silent Runner]

Szczesny, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Flamini, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Alexis, Welbeck

Martinez, Ajayi, Coquelin, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Campbell

Apart from Ramsey that's a hella weak bench.

[humdrum]

That's some goal from Sanchez!

[Silent Runner]

That's a quality finish. Very impressive first 15 minutes.

[Silent Runner]

How in the name of fuck is that not a foul on Flamini?

[The Fox]

Probably a foul there but fucking hell Flamini is so useless.

[Gotters]

i didn't think flamini was fouled, every time you fall over its not a free kick

at least half a dozen of our players need to look at how he was left to run thru like that, I used to sort of accept it when Drogba did it as he's a monster, not Diame for hull though

[The Fox]

Think if he goes down there he gets the foul, for sure. He's either got to make a meal of it and make the ref more inclined to blow, or just keep going to try and stop Diame. He did neither.

Monreal didn't exactly cover himself in glory either, but it's not his fault he's our fourth choice CB.

edit: this fucking ref, man

[The Fox]

Rubbish from Mertesacker, just attack the ball!

[Silent Runner]

Mertesacker like a statue there. Terrible stuff.

[The Fox]

Unsure how Ox is still on the pitch tbh, he's been appalling.

[Silent Runner]

Wilshire has done himself here.

[The Fox]

This is our Ozil-less attacking cohesion, lads. Drink it in, only another 8-10 weeks left.

[Gotters]

not sure what difference he makes really - other than 5 mins against villa and the city game we've been shite all season

[The Fox]

Welbz!

[Silent Runner]

5 minutes - come FUCKING on.

[humdrum]

Mazy run from Sancnhez. Brilliant finish from welbeck!

[Gotters]

I'm not impressed with a lot of our lot but will not have a word said against Sanchez, he's superb

[humdrum]

Campbell has impressed since he came on as well I think.

[toythatkills]

Not sure we're gonna win the title this year

[hauk]

2 wins out of 8 is pretty poor form, but we're only 3 points off 3rd which is probably the best we can hope for this year. Again.

[Steve007]

At least we are not Sunderland fans. Imagine how those poor bastards are feeling right now.

[toythatkills]

I don't think we need to imagine it, we know exactly how they feel.

[Gotters]

At least we are not Sunderland fans. Imagine how those poor bastards are feeling right now.

Anybody signing a 3rd choice arsenal keeper knows there will be days like today

[anders limpar]

Had the misfortune of having these two absolute weapons sit in front of me today. They spend the entire fucking match taking selfies, filming the game, taking the same panoramic shot of the crowd and posting everything live to Facebook until his iPhone ran out of space. Wouldn't surprise me if he took a selfie when he went for a piss at half time too.

So a pretty enjoyable afternoon for me all in all.

[The Fox]

And to make matters worse he has Podolski on the back of his shirt.

[gizmo1990]

So, looking at others results so far this weekend, we've made another complete hash of it haven't we? Really surprised to see AWs treatment of Jacqui Oatley too. Obviously he's annoyed with the score (he bloody should be) but he doesn't need to conduct himself like that.

[The Fox]

Meh, she was trying to get a rise out of him by being deliberately obtuse.

[hauk]

Yeah and Gary Lineker putting his boot in on Wenger, who'd have thought?

[The Fox]

He's just white knighting tbh, can't imagine he'd be saying it was a "disgrace" if Wenger had taken a pop at, say, Jonathan Pearce.

Sorry but she's quite clearly trying to twist his words there, and he's got every right to get annoyed at her (especially considering they choose to do these interviews immediately after the final whistle, when emotions are running high).
