Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Giroud is in.

Flamini and Cazorla also in for Wilshere and Rosicky. Good looking line up. Should get the job done here.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Flamini down early, hammy?

Good for Gnabry to get more of a run at this level.

 

[glenferry23]

That looked like a groin injury for Flamini. heck.

Gnabry has slotted in nicely.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Ramsey has become something else.

I had bigger expectations for him than any other player before his injury and after that I just let him go.

He is pretty amazing. My favourite by a long shot.

Also, like watching Smack go hard for Palace. Happy for him to score if we go three up. Always liked him (in fact, it was his name straight on my new jersey the year we signed him- thought he'd be immense).

 

[Benno_900]

Their LB looks shaky.

Get Gnabry to run at him at every opportunity.

 

[glenferry23]

Was just going to say that. Most of our play has been through that side looking for the cutback.

 

[glenferry23]

Almost a second.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Gnabry just looks so good, doesn't he?

I can't help comparing him to Ox but he just looks like becoming a better player.

It's a bright future with those two.

Bricks are being shat.

 

[horj89]

Come on lads hang on. Big 3 points now.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Giroud!

 

[herbie31]

F*ck yes!!!!!!

 

[knife]

Great cross Ramsey! and a nice finish Giroud. Worried about missing Arteta and potentially Flamini over the next few games.

 

[horj89]

2-0 you beauty. Someone get around Giroud.

 

[windyhill]

Schezz and Sagna can share m.o.t.m for mine, well done boys

 

[Benno_900]

Arteta will only miss the League Cup.

But we hardly have any CMs left to play that. Frimpong, Eisfeld and Rosicky?

We're heading out. Oh well - bigger fish to fry.

Agreed, both were immense

Quick question Benno, Do you only get a 3 match ban for a violent conduct straight red card? And just 1 match for a professional foul?

 

[Flapjacks]

Any chance the card gets overturned or am I dreaming?

Correct

 

[glenferry23]

Wenger said he won't appeal if its only a one game ban (Arteta wouldn't have played Tuesday anyway).

Flamini's injury is a groin but unsure if the extent, you'd think even a light strain is still 2-3 weeks.

Some of scznczny's save were critical. We need games like these, grinding out away wins with 10 men etc. We not going be able to put on footballing clinics every week like we did against Norwich, so winning in circumstances like this morning is just an important in terms of contending for the title.

 

[Cruyff14]

Least Arteta misses a game that he wouldn't have played in anyway.

Didn't see any of the game, would have been better to win by more, but we kept a clean sheet and got the three points required.
