Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Nicky B ! ****ing classic

 

[AG]

Great start but we really needed a second goal in the first 30 mins. Hull starting to get back into the game.

 

[glenferry23]

Bentdner the Italian slayer, nice to see reaction too. Ozil' finish was just what we needed to start the second half.

And for once graham didn't score against us. As much as I love the midfield trio of Ozil, Rosicky and Santi, it's crucial to have Flamini in behind them.

Walcott should come on soon for another run.

 

[trueblue_91]

We dominated the game this morning. We should have scored another couple of goals but overall I was very pleased with our performance.

Good to see Bendtner score his first league goal for us in like forever.

Our next few league games will determine our season

 

[windyhill]

Don't normally give a toss about everton(if ever we had a bunny) but there's a bloke at work who pushes my buttons and follows them. Few different supporters at work, no worries, but this bloke gets under my skin big time. Smashing please Goons.

 

[glenferry23]

Very nicely taken.

 

[RickSanchez]

So what's the deal with Verm?
Thought he should have played this game and probably the game against Napoli coming up.
It's not like he's totally useless.
Too many changes in the defensive area? (Jenko/Monreal in for Bacary/Gibbs for the Hull game)
Great movement indeed above for that goal, fantastic cross by Jenko.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Good to get a 2 - 0 win with 5 changes to the side.

Yeah I don't think Vermaelen played because we already had 2 changes at the back

 

[Benno_900]

Surprised Theo didn't get a start. With Wilshere getting a rest, I don't see him starting on the weekend either.

Good to see Giroud get a breather - should set him up for the next month at least.

Santi had his best game of the season while Ozil was also very good.

But MOTM was Ramsey yet again. Sublime.

 

[Latro]

Theo must not be match fit yet.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

 

[glenferry23]

He didn't train all week apparently.

Should likely start versus Everton on the weekend. Tough game coming, they're in some fine form.

 

[Latro]

I would think against a team who attacks with the fullbacks so much Theo would be start against Everton.

 

[NTRabbit]

Very nicely taken.

He's always had talent, he's just sadly always been mental as well.

 

[NTRabbit]

Two edged sword, Theo is terrible at tracking back, so if we're not keeping the ball it puts Sagna under the pump with two running at him.

 

[Cruyff14]

**** me we are playing some great football. The spirit is there and the heads no longer drop. You get the feeling now we are no longer going to cough up leads like we have in seasons gone by.

Ozil will need a rest though, should have been subbed after his goal.

And as if Bender scored lol, great header too.

 

[glenferry23]

Not sure Sagna will be back, it was a hamstring strain which you'd think would be at least a week or two.

Or at Arsenal, seven.

Yes Ozil perhaps due for a breather, perhaps bring him back for then massive back to back games in Naples and then City.

And as for Bendtner, my reaction when he buried that header this morning

 

[Latro]

Ozil did not play for Germany in the international break he may not need to be rested until the Christmas fixtures. He seems to be refreshed since then and is playing better than the weeks before the Utd game.

 

[Hotcox]

Next 3 league games

Everton (H)
Man City (A)
Chelsea (H)

I would love all 9 points but realistically if we gained 7 points from the next 3 games I would be very happy.

I think we should rest Ozil against Napoli.

 

[Benno_900]

How will we go chasing a game though?

We've been phenomenal at scoring first this season (12 of 14 league games) so there is hardly anything to go on. But we failed to win those two games.

I knew you were an old campaigner but I didn't know you were a woman.

Next 3 league games

Chelsea (H)

I think we'll beat Everton as it's at The Emirates. Can't see us getting a result against City, the Chelsea game I would happily take a draw.

Well one was against United, and the other was Aston Villa which was the first game of the season and no Mesut or Super Aaron, but it is a valid point.

The side shows a real fight in them now, like the Arsenal of old, brilliant to watch.

 

[Benno_900]

No, the other game was against West Brom. Giroud scored the opener against Villa.

I'm pretty sure Ramsey played against Villa but I can't be bothered checking. I'd prefer to forget that one.

 

[glenferry23]

The only good thing to come out of that Villa game is that perhaps it jolted Wenger into making a serious move in the transfer window, ie Ozil.

Seems a long time ago now.
