Arsenal

[Art Vandelay]

One of my ‘twitfam’ has asked if I’d like to write articles for http://www.arsenal-land.co.uk/

Any feature ideas? I have no interest in droning on about transfer targets, tactics and so on as there are about 4,542 other people doing exactly the same all over the internet and I don’t think I can add anything of value to that. Was thinking stuff along the lines of:

• Trading Places – abstract piece where I hypothesise upon the backgrounds, life story etc of current and past Arsenal players, in an alternate universe where they never made it as footballers and get a job in civvy street e.g. Bacary Sagna running an LGBT book society in Dalston, and his tales of rucks with the OB at Greenham Common
  
• Two forra paaahnd – an in-depth review of all the sweets available from the Gillespie Road sweet man. What provides best value/lasts longest/will cause most harm when thrown at the likes of Diaby?
  
• I’m not bent, honest – given the Highbury Spy’s retirement, I think there’s a gap in the market for reactionary homophobic drivel, supplanted by incongruous pictures of women in swimwear

Really looking forward to today's game! I'm off to the beach now then will go and find somewhere that's showing the game and have a few beers. My prediction: 4-1 with RVP scoring two 

After all the moaning and groaning, not least from me, about Yossi I wonder if he might turn out to be a big success.

[KRP]

He was amazing in his last season at Liverpool, I rate him although I never saw him play for Chelsea.

[Herbalizer]

Looking forward to the game today fellas. Two good footballing sides who like to keep the ball. We haven't scored this season yet and i don't see us ending that run today. Best of luck and I hope you don't batter us by five goals.

Prediction: Arsenal to dominate, creating chance after chance. Vorm to have the game of his life. Arsenal to nick one in the 70th minute and win 1-0.

Bendtner to score a hat-trick for Sunderland.

From what I've heard most liverpool fans were sad to see him go and my west ham friends loved him. He is an arsenal sort of player and so long as he can stay injury free I reckon he'll be a very shrewd signing and surprise alot of people.

Has anyone got an English stream?

EDIT: there's a bunch here, not sure how good they are http://forum.wiziwig.eu/threads/59999-15-00UK-16-00CET-Arsenal-v-Swansea

That looked like a great save from SZCZ.

He really is the real deal.

@BlinkyBear - thanks.

[Silent Runner]

Good stream here: http://veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4e5aad3a2272d

although it's about 30 seconds behind 'live'. No interruptions so far.

[mop]

Unreal!

[toythatkills]

Finally there's going to be something to watch on that ESPN Goals app.

[Guest]

The talisman strikes!

[Silent Runner]

Credit to Arshavin - great finish.

One nil to the Arsenal.

[toythatkills]

Sounds like Arshavin's having a pretty good game actually.

[mop]

Vrom done lost his mind for the goal, though. Just threw it at the heels of a defender, bounces off him to Arshavin and bosh.

[Silent Runner]

Good skills from SZCZ there. Please don't do it again.

[SMD]

I think you mean second last, he was injured for most of his last season with us.

And you never saw him play for Chelsea cos he spent most of it with a cruciate ligament injury.

[Silent Runner]

A couple of decent chances for RVP there. I think we need a second here.

Benayoun on Liking the level of aggression we're beginning to show (mostly Frimpong but Walcott's seemingly standing up for himself a bit more nowdays)

I can't believe it was that long ago.

And we're Arsenal

We're Arsenal FC

We're by far the most frustrating team

The World has ever seen

[Silent Runner]

What the hell did Ramsey do there? FUCK.

[mop]

The last few minutes made for some uneasy watching. Fuck it. Important thing today was winning.

[Silent Runner]

Yeah, delighted with the win but very nervey at the end. Arteta and Gibbs looked good - Gibbs stuck in some great crosses and Chamak should have buried one. Hard know what to make of Benayoun, he didn't have much of a chance to make an impact.

[wev]

Loved that link up between Benayoun (was it Yossi? or was it Gibbs?) and Chamakh, more of that please!

[mop]

My stream was fantastically shit but if you're chattin' about the header Chamakh missed, that was him and Gibbs.

I think.
