We went to a tough country to play football, the stadium had a power cut because that’s what happens in these places, I expect it was done on purpose, however after an early predictable onslaught we soon settled into our stride, Jack and Arshavin combined sublimely to get our first, top drawer back heel from our little maestro and a great finish from Arshavin. One nil to the Arsenal.
Arshavin was unlucky not to claim a second shortly after but an overhead scissor type kick from their defender put paid to that so it remained one nil, until dopey handballed it for no reason from a 20 yard pass going nowhere, the dimwitted look on his face said it all, 1-1.
The second half started well and when Chamakh was brought down and the player was sent off, there was only ever going to be one winner, up steps the Russian hit man and dribbles it straight down the middle into the keepers grateful feet, still 1-1!
Soon after after two great headers from Chamakh we are 2-1 up. Not wishing to miss out on the aerial stuff, up pops Squillaci to make the score 3-1, so much for the stupid Belgrade banner that said in English that we were going to be steam rollered!
Gibbs took down their forward to give them another penalty but this time Fabianski went the right way. Shortly after that he pulled of a fabulous save, one of his trademark acrobatic ones that had Wenger gloating that ‘that was the Lukas I see every day in training’ Predictable Arsene, predictable.
Yes Fabianski had a good game, but that should be the norm, whatever he did last night, he should remember and try that in his next game, which I’m guessing will be Chelsea on Sunday.
A good all round performance from the team, after the shambles of Saturday it was heartening to see, I won’t do any individual assessment of the players save to say they all deserved an 8, well apart from two of them, I won’t say what two but one should get a 6 as he at least tried, the other a 3 because his kit looked good.
If you couldn’t see the two I’m talking about you couldn’t have been watching.
Fabianski had a good game so credit to him, but don’t forget, even a blind Squirrel occassionally gets an acorn, put a decent run together and maybe I’ll change my mind, we’ll see, but Arsene, if I were you I would save the ‘I told you so grin’ until after the next game.
To sum up, well done the Arsenal, great game, great play and Jack, you just keep getting better, keep it up son, we’ll soon have Theo back, Bendtner back, Robin back and Cesc back, then think what we could achieve! I’m licking my lips in anticipation.
Have a great day Grovers, I know I will.
Do you guys realise Barca are playing Rubin right now? 0-0.
rubin just scored
lol rubin!!!
Barca are Rubins beating stick
Sixx, haven’t u been reading ma post?Read my post @ 17:40.I said he is no Drogba, Tevez or Torres.
we shouldn’t put all the blame on Song for trying to play as if he was Cecs.It is Wenger’s fault!It is obvious Song has gone crazy and its up to Arsene to tell him to sit deep and protect the back four.For all u know, that is the role Arsene has given him.
There u go again.After just one match, he goes bluffing about.Like Manager like player.But i hope this is the time he realises all the potential Arsene sees in him, otherwise we are fucked!

hahaha.
Barca minus Messi = Us. Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass Pass and pass……………
Baafuor
Its like he has no brain at all. Why would you make a statement like that? Just shut the fuck up and get on with it w/out even a slight commotion. Dick.
Six, Igboe means blunt,smoke,grass, or if u prefer, indian hemp. That what its called in Nigeria. Igbo without the e is a tribe in the same ccountry that speak ibo.
What did he say wrong? That he hopes he plays on Sunday? That he was pleased with his game? What? Cmon guys
Thanks Pharo
Sixx
I’d rather not hear him speak, EVER. Its like when Walcott was playing shite for 6/7 games in a row and the Arse.com would plaster him all over the pasge saying ‘I’ll show what I can do.’
SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
Get on with it.
rubin-barca is one hilarious fixture
Well its impossible for him not to speak in a press conference hounded by 20 odd reporters asking the same questions
I dont mind Fabianski facing Chelsea.
In the reserves.
fucking cheats, just look at that cunt busquet face
iniesta just threw himself disgusting pile of shit
I didnt see the dive but i still fucking HATE those Barca cunts!!
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how poor Sagna has become since his first season. He was shocking last night.
Every single Barca player is a cunt. All they do is fucking dive and then have a laugh when they get away with it. Especially Alves and Biscuits! I hope they get a serious injury the next time they feign an injury, noone goes over to see if they are alright and it gets worse. It would serve them right.
Chocogooner, I think everyone noticed that in his second season.
chocolategooner.
i think that’s a gross exaggeration. He’s had a couple of bad games but for the most part he’s fairly solid
shocking penalty, iniesta just went down like a whore
I so badly want Madrid to beat these cunts into submission, but whats the chances of that happening if Higuain is in such poor form in front of goal, Ronaldo is back to being a petualant whinny kid (a consequence of his baby son perhaps) and Mourinho insists on playing what seems like only DMs in midfield?
rubin nearly scored
Can the Scum cock up again v Twente.
Ah Oba Martins is so fucking shit! Twat should have scored that header!
What’s with the shit camera angle in the spud’s game?is it being broadcast in VD!!!!
hope scum and inter both lose
Fuck! Saldado just missed an absolute sitter against the mancs. Open goal fron about 6 yards and all he did was head it up and over.
van der sar got a finger to it though
Eto just raping Werder B atm.
Fuck! Bejrami off for Twente. I just put it on the spuds game so I don’t know know how he was performing in this game. But I saw him play live twice in the summer and he was tearing teams apart and got the pleasure of meeting him. Hopefully Twente can still slap those twats all over the field! BTW…what’s up with that camera angle??
reggie 57
It’s always like that at their place mate.
pablo hernadez is some player
HB
Looked different to that when we tanned their backside in the CC!!
Let’s see what Arry has to say about minimal contact now!!
van der fart just missed from the spot (sweet)
HAHAHAHA! SAVED!
What happened to Bejrami? Injured?
Rafa being made to look good.
Who is that keeper?
keeper saved another VdF shot, great save
HAHA
2025: MISSED PENALTY Tottenham’s Rafael van der Vaart
Anyone know why future great Ever Banega is not playing for Valencia? Didn’t see him at the weekend either, is he injured?
So Silvestre has taken his show on the road, fucking Werder up at the back…leaking goals as usual
Nikolay Mihaylov. Think he was with Liverpool before.
Fan That Fart is really making a difference for the Spuds. Willy G is a no brainer…LOL @ the Scums
Inter running riots on Silvestre, they should really throw him off a bridge. Anyone is better than that clown
Yeah Zeus, I thougth we would sign Ever Banega, Yeah havn’t seen him in a couple of games.
he is injured, 2 more weeks out
Thank’s Tariq !!!
just a quick ques…if any one can give me a good explaination?
what qualifies as a shot on target?
A shot on target is one that the keeper has to save or the trajectory is on its way to gaol, if that makes sense.
ardentgooner.
Anything which would have gone in if the keeper didn’t touch it, i think.
I don’t have the actual rule
Yeah Banega is a beast. Loved the way he bossed the Spanish midfeild with Cesc in it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYjeKwO_EuM
zeus
thanks..then these american commentators know fuck all abt football…
and he give them a penalty
United looks so flat … how the fuck they keep winning games is beyond me
Totn Scum home dry.
pass the ball FFS
twente are better but so selfish in the final third
C’Mon twente shut them spud cunt’s up!!
goal for twente, spuds won’t be winning this one
Red card for the van fart!!
van der fart sent off
Typical Dutch.
hahhhahahahaha
Wtf is wrong with this ref!!
Nooo fuckin way!
WTF
how long till he decides?
disgrace
Wait. Whats happening. Who is taking long to decide what?
he gave the spuds a second penalty and waited like 10 secs to give it and it was harsh. never a penalty
3rd penalty Gooby. Unbelievable shit.
Yeah, whats the fuck is happening?
BTW, Vidic just got stood on…it was hillarious!
yep 3rd for the scum
the ref killed the game with that pen
And he killed my appetite too!
anyone think valencia are a better team without villa and silva……
they are playong freely..and everyones getting involved……..
ardent
Maybe too early to tell, but they seem liberated and less dependent on a talisman….much like the Henry sale did for us.
good team work valencia
he gave a card to the twente player. comical ref
83′I really wish there was more to report, it has been a real snoozefest!
84′United hit the post!
******
hehe.
Fuck United score. Now my appetite is definitely gone!
fck man utd score
Stats: Berbatov has not scored in 14 Champions League games.
and eto’o gets his 3rd
good goal tho.. chicharito…
the little cunt hernandez
Very good goal for Chicarito.
Hernandez better than Vela?
Valencia’s keeper should’ve thrown that punch…give me something to smile about.
Bit premature zeus.
now spuds should lose the 2 games vs inter ans then get a beating from twente away
hernandez is an out n out striker…vela…is more of a skillfull winger/second striker…
bale will go to barca or real, soon
vela got 2 in the CL
Dont them slag’s know any other song !!!
Denilson 6 and Song 3 ?
Just a small comment…
I think the away kit looks pretty good. Definitely better than with the yellow shorts. It’s got a certain rustic, classic charm about it.
Inter look impressive
Song was poor last night. He has no footballing brain and he is starting to undo all the good work of the last 18 months by thinking he is Essien all of a sudden!
One point near the dugouts, you could see he was going to lose the ball and then the whole world could see he was then going to pull the guy down! He is a twat and needs to remember he is only there to break up the oppo attacks and then give the ball to a decent footballer and get back in his position!
Maybe that goal he scored has gone to his head!
Wow Zorro
Why so negative!
So the cocks get lucky peno, Fan That Fart sent off, ManUre scums get a win despite wack football. Should we have gotten Chicharito instead of Vela? The guy delivers, Vela, only when we are winning. Anyway, WE’VE GOT WELLINGTON SILVA!!!
vINCENT eNYEAMA SCORED FOR hAPOEL…NICE, HE WAS Available to Arsene for a mere 3m Euros and he didn’t even wink at him back. A goalie that stopped Messi several times, good reflex and even scores ( we could have used him when Rosicky and Arshavin cocked theirs)
David,thats not being negative,Zorro is just stating a fact,thats all.
Actually i thought Song tried to do too much because he’s been watching Cesc too much. It shows he’s trying to learn and become a better player.
Thats positive for you.
Flappy however is still shyte.
Dale, what kind of a goal was it? Corner, penalty, lucky long free kick?
peeps, how many weeks is still left b4 van persie plays? I really need him back. @Dale, i’m a Nigeria n I share ur sentiment, but as far as i’m concerned, Enyema wont improve or solve our goal keeping situation, we dont need a penalty converting goal keeper nor a goal scoring DM. We need a short stopper and some one who is good at set piece, we should spend big on Sketelenburg, that Ajax keeeper is really wat we need in January
Completely agree Peter…apart from the short stopper part.
*weeks are……correction pls
Maarten Sketelenburg is so good he could actually be a short stopper.
@Stu, i said short stopper because most of the goals we have conceded are really disgraceful to us as a club. The Danny Rose strike at the lane, the keane’s goal still at the lane in CC, Drogba’s freekicks and strikes last season and many others…..our problem now is not central defenders rather a confident and reliable keeper to steady the ship….take chelsea and United as case study, i know how many times their defence has been bridged but for the heroics of Cech and van der sar, they still manage to keep clean sheets. but ours, once our central defenders are beaten, we pick the ball from our net..its really painful ad demoralizing…i must confess
PETER,relax,we will get Maarten to be the short stopper then,STU,we will just have to continue our search for a shot stopper then,thats all.
Jaguar: Stekelenburg is a shit-stopper.
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/peroni-nastro-azzurro-4-x-330ml-2-f/767579
Still no electricity. And its raining like fuck
I really love the notion of this bet. In shaming Jaguar and resulting in him not coming on, we have basically rid ourselves and this board of him. HAHA..Pure genius.
I hate Manure….go to Spain..park the bus and nick a 1-0…
I hope Sunderland are well rested and are up for tearing them apart up there….
“It was good to get back to winning ways and, hopefully, we can continue that against Arsenal It was important that we had a Champions League game on Tuesday and that we didn’t get a whole week to think about the City defeat. Now for Sunday, there isn’t really a lot of training. It’s the rest and recovery that’s important.”
John Terry said this…..I wonder if Wenger is letting the players rest?
Everyone has said he overtrains them……I wonder if this is the problem? When others a resting…Arsene has the guys playing one touch football still….
Morning all, new post early!
