Arsenal

Anyone else enjoying how useless Nasri looks at the moment?

I bet he's got a cracking new house though.

[Dude Ranch]

He had a face like a smacked arse on the bench.

Anyone else enjoying how useless Nasri looks at the moment?

Yes, very much. Schadenfreude is so ugly but also delicious.

Edit: from a practical point of view it's in our best interest that Nasri tanks, hopefully add to the myth that Arsenal players don't flourish outside of North London so the Citehs of this world don't offer potloads of cash to our best players.

Must be the Carling Cup tonight, then:

Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Song, Andre Santos, Frimpong, Arteta, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arshavin, Chamakh.

VP on the bench. Insane.

[hercules]

players needed rotating, If we dont want to burn RVP out or get him injured he needs to sit some games out. It's still a good team and am interested to see how chamberlain does.

[toythatkills]

Well yeah, but maybe sitting them out in the Champion's League isn't the best idea?

Wenger's always moaning about how the players underestimate "weaker" opponents and then don't perform, and then he plays a weakened side against Olympiakos, showing them fuck all respect. If we lose this, it serves us right.

BLAMO!

Mr. Skin scores!

[humdrum]

great block from Arteta.

[mop]

SANTOS!!!!

Loved it.

[mop]

Typical.

[Silent Runner]

They send 2 guys out to take a corner - we send no one to close them down. FFS.

[sega_kid]

And the wobble is on =(

[mop]

Rosicky is annoying me.

[carlito]

Park for Arshavin please. I just can't watch him lose possession or short change his team mates with those lazy fucking passes of his anymore.

[mop]

I hoped for so long that he'd just snap back into life one day and regain some semblance of form but fuck me that's never going to happen.

[hercules]

We just need to keep plugging away and get some wins to build up confidence. All the signs are there but confidence will take time. Defensively same old really, we are just very naive when it comes to defending which is a shame. Arshavin has been awful he is so frustrating as we know how good he can be but you could count on one hand how many times he has played to his best.

[SeanR]

ffffuuuu

[edit]

does chamakh have a shit first touch?

Arshavin needs to be ejected from the stadium at a high velocity fucking stat!

[BlinkyBear]

Park for Arshavin please. I just can't watch him lose possession or short change his team mates with those lazy fucking passes of his anymore.

In fairness he's got nothing on Chamakh. Holy fuck he's woeful at the moment.

[Swallow]

Would have been better if the pair of them had pulled a Tevez. It's embarrassing.

[mop]

I'm happy with that.

[toythatkills]

Shit, you guys, that's three wins in a row

[hercules]

I felt we looked alot better in the second half, all in all a hard thought win but a win never the less. 3wins in 3, we just have to keep this going.

[wev]

Been working tonight, just checked the BBC Sport page, I'll take that! Will check Arsenalist once I've got myself a cuppa.

[wev]

Both goals are the kind of football we've been missing for a long time!

[Steve007]

A win is a win so I am happy with that. Good first half performance but the goal we conceded was appalling.

Rosicky is annoying me.

He's got no pace anymore

[Art Vandelay]

I thought that was Chamakh's best game for ages. He never looked likely to score but at least he tried hard.

[Daley]

I thought that was Chamakh's best game for ages. He never looked likely to score but at least he tried hard.

I really feel for him. I don't know what it is, the complete loss of form, the fact that as you say he runs himself into the ground, the fact that he got a really good run in the team when he arrived before being dumped in the second half of the season, because he really likes heading the ball but we never cross it or just for his dodgy barnet. Or maybe i've got a soft spot due to the crazy Moroccan cab driver we had in Barcelona who tried to tell us how to pronounce Cha-Muck properly while swerving round a roundabout at 60mph calling the driver next to him a puta.

[Silent Runner]

Interesting one last night. Lucky enough in the end especially with the one coming back off the crossbar. If we defend like we did last night against Tottenham we’ll be in big trouble.

I’ll add to the Chamakh love, I think he’ll come good in time. I thought Artetta looked decent and goals for the new lads.

[Petrousgyre]

Good first half performance but the goal we conceded was appalling.

I thought, on balance, our second half perfomance was better than the first.
