Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[glenferry23]

Yeah been injured for the last 7-8 months, with no return date set yet. Would probably be in the squad if not for injuries.

Typical. Unbelievable how many blokes we seem to have injured at any given point in time. Sanogo as well likely would've played 90 minutes tomorrow morning if he's fit.

What's scary is if Giroud sustains on the weekend vs Swansea, we could have a Park Chu Young or Bendtner leading the lines for us next week against Napoli.

 

[CotchNCo]

I must be the only person that wants to feel the same emotion of human redemption for Bendtner this year as when Brent told Finch to f*** off.

Cracking call.

Tbh i don't mind Nicky B.

 

[Shoei]

Anyone know if this is on Fox? I dont have Setanta.

Or am i digging for a stream?

Stream. Only televised game in Australia is United v Liverpool, which is on Sentanta.

 

[glenferry23]

Yes am on a very patchy stream.

Nicely converted by Iceveld.

 

[kreglze]

Youngsters doing ok, so much inexperience out there, against a West Brom team with experience like Seesengon. If we weren't so crippled with injury, our team would probably be a stronger looking.

 

[glenferry23]

We still have Fabiankski, Jenko, TV, Nacho, Mertesacker, Arteta out there. Lots of senior experience but further up the pitch is where we've struggled unsurprisingly. I like the look of Akpom.

 

[kreglze]

Akpom looks a player.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Chelsea at home next in COC. Though this means playing Chelsea, Liverpool, Dortmund and United in the space of two weeks. Hopefully by which time we have a couple of players back.

What did we think of our youngsters? Thought all did well and showed what they are capable of in some capacity, with the least impressive being Eisfeld despite his well taken goal as other then the goal he wasn't really cited. Was particularly impressed by Hayden, while Gnabry is looking more and more confident with each game.

 

[glenferry23]

I was impressed with what I saw of Gnabry and Akpom briefly. Getting through without any further injuries in the squad was great, winning the game was a bonus.

Rosicky likely to be in the squad for the Napoli game next week, according to Wenger. That would be brilliant.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Jack's latest addition to his family. He turns 22 in about three months.

 

[Benno_900]

Just saw the highlights of the League Cup game.

The goal was nice - good pass from Bendtner and great composure from Eisfeld. But they both seemed to have shit games apart from that.

Fabianski made some awesome saves too.

Also how ****ing good was that Morrison pen? Perfection.

 

[Cruyff14]

I'm back lads. You can all breathe easy again

 

[Benno_900]

Team for tomorrow morning?

Ramsey and Flamini face late fitness tests both are expected to be fit.

Prediction ...

Szczesny​

Sagna - Koscielny - Per - Gibbs​

Flamini - Arteta​

Wilshere - Ramsey - Ozil​

Giroud​

Fabianski, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Monreal, Gnabry, Miyaichi, Bendtner

Hopefully we get Rosicky back next week. He is the closest player to a genuine winger we've got atm.

 

[Cruyff14]

No Santi? What happened to him?

I would switch Arteta and Jack.

 

[Benno_900]

Santi got injured in training after he returned from the last International break. Due back next weekend - just in time to get injured again playing for Spain. He still hasn't played with Ozil.

I can't see Arteta playing on the wing. Jack has been playing there ever since Santi was injured so I don't see that changing.

 

[Cruyff14]

Ah. Barely seen any football bar scores.

Santi and MESUTTTTT together will be delicious.

 

[glenferry23]

What a fvcking day. Lost my shit at the G today, epic win.

Another Arsenal win tomorrow morning would cap off a magnificent day

Commiserations latro and mundy, was a brilliant game.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Jack's latest addition to his family. He turns 22 in about three months.

Really? Jeepers, kids grow up fast these days!

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY!

RAMMMMMMMSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!

2-0

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

If I was Wojciech I would be fuming. He should have 5 or 6 clean sheets so far this season yet only has one.

Happy Serge got a goal and he has surprised me with his work rate which has been very good.

 

[Benno_900]

Carn the Gunners!

Ramsey MOTM again. Not the greatest first half but was excellent in the second.

Gnabry was also brilliant in the second half. You could see him growing in confidence as the game went on. Ridiculous decision to bring him off from Wenger - he seems like he plans his subs before the game and sticks by them. Needs to use a bit of common sense at times.

Flamini is a starting CM ahead of both Arteta and Wilshere for me. If we have Cazorla, Ozil and Walcott in the same side - we're going to ****ing need him.

Ozil is awesome on the ball but, holy shit, I can't recall an Arsenal mid being so useless defensively - should never play wide as he completely exposed Sagna for the goal in the few mins he was there.

Giroud worked his arse off as usual but he was a bit selfish in this game. Ignored Gnabry on numerous occasions when he was better positions and tried to be a hero.

Koscielny and Per were rock solid. Swansea's goal was well worked and they couldn't do too much about it.

 

[Latro]

Gnabry did play 120 minutes midweek

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Will get a deserved rest midweek. Not sure who plays wide, probably Ryo or Nacho.
