Arsenal

[Mars]

He would have had the last laugh though, being at game on Wednesday

[KRP]

It was pretty endearing actually, I love speaking to people from other countries about football, in fact it's one of my favourite things about the game.

[Rev]

He's ace. I salute him.

[Dude Ranch]

A couple of new injuries for today then, why break precedent?

I feel we could stroll it or lose by a couple. Right now I'd take a score draw or possibly even a one goal reverse for shame.

[Lucky]

starting 11 will surely be;

----------fabianki

sagna--vermalean--sol--clichy

-------------denilson

--------diaby--cesc

rosicky------------nasri

-------bendtner

[Rev]

That looks suspiciously experienced. Too experienced, some would say. Throw in a random 14 year old.

He's not 14 but he looks and plays like one...

[Lucky]

don't feel too confident about tonight, dude pretty much summed it up.

Sol Campbell makes his first European appearance for Arsenal since the 2006 Champions League final tonight at Estadio do Dragao. The Gunners are forced into several changes from the side which beat Liverpool in the Premier League. Lukasz Fabianski replaces the injured Manuel Almunia in goal, while former skipper Campbell partners Thomas Vermaelen at the heart of the defence and full-back Bacary Sagna came in for Emmanuel Eboue. Denilson comes into midfield for Alex Song, while Tomas Rosicky starts and Nicklas Bendtner leads the attack with Theo Walcott on the bench.

[exwhyzed]

Fucking hell 200mph start.

[Mars]

Woocash

[Art Vandelay]

What's that keeper we've got out at Brentford like?

[Guest]

Considering he's behind Almunia and Fabianski in the pecking order I'd say he's pretty damn shite

Arsenal really need a decent keeper

Haha, go Sol!

[Liamness]

Is Clichy shit now? He seems to be shit now.

[mop]

Save for the start I think we've been pretty fucking good.

We're pressing and trying to win the ball in their half. What we were doing at the start of the season and why we looked so good in them early days.

[exwhyzed]

Amazing scenes.

[Guest]

Foook me Fabianski

[mindgames]

What the fucking fuck...

[SuperCat]

Amazing

[Mars]

Oh God.

[dizogg]

Hahahahahahahahhahaaaaa

[a big boy]

What a goal!

[the_debaser]

Ahahahahahahaha.

Just underlines how badly you need a new goalie. And someone to replace Denilson too while you're at it.

[Art Vandelay]

I don't want to see games decided like that. Fabianski has had a nightmare, but I think Wenger's anger is justified as the referee has been utterly abject. Porto are a manifestation of everything that is shit about continent football teams.

[exwhyzed]

606 will be hilarious tonight.

[Benji]

I hope we put 4 or 5 past these at the Emirates...

Pricks.

[Art Vandelay]

Also, whilst I'm at it, how useless is Bendtner? He's got the touch of a large rock.

[Silent Runner]

What the Christ? Why did he give the ball back. Words fail me.

[anders limpar]

I think Fabianksi is the worst keeper I have seen in 20 years watching Arsenal. He even makes Almunia look good. Our best keeper is 19 and plays for Brentford, where by all accounts he's been really good. Fuck all use to us now.

Clichy has obviously been kidnapped and replaced by a rogue replicant, as the one that's in the Arsenal team bears no resemblance to the player of 2007 and gets skinned every single game.

Denilson is fucking hopeless.

[anders limpar]

Oh, and Walcott is a waste of time too. I pine for the days of Anders Limpar.
