Up the Arse! Goons Thread

In that case Man City can't win... so we have already won? Is this how it works?

Takes United out of the equation too, I like this superstition now!

After watching the replay of the Stoke game last night I fail to see what all the arguments yesterday were about. I didn't think that either Flamini or the Ox were that bad.

Flamini did his role, filled the space in midfield, made a few crunching tackles and to me he always looked to pass forward to the more capable players unless there wasn't an option in which case he went sideways, the same as every other Arsenal player does.

Ox was lively, created a few good chances certainly wasn't his worst game for the season. I don't think he is a CM though, put him back on the flank and play Elneny/Chambers and Ramsey in midfield and if Ozil is missing give Campbell a game at #10 who has good ball retention skills and a better eye for a pass than Ox does.

Giroud was very good despite a lack of service, held the ball up well and tried to bring his teammates in to the game, should have made his presence in the box felt more often though and given the wide players something to aim for.

Walcott probably the most ineffective player on the pitch, barely noticed him despite a couple of moments, Ramsey didn't have his best game either. Defence were fairly solid apart from Bellerin who struggled on a bigger opponent (Arnautovic/Diouf) and often allowed them to easily gain possession from long passes.

Cech was superb, the double save was a game saver and the reflex bloke from Joselu again great, solid in the air and commanded his box.

All in all a pretty good point away from home against a tough opponent, lets move on to breaking the hoodoo against those cvnts from west london with OZil and Sanchez back in contention!

No - Leicester also drew there.

Have you been taking lessons from moomba?

The same brother had a two sided tape with Runaway Train recorded over and over and over.

I downloaded a stack of 90's tracks for a USB drive and used it for a drive from Brisbane to Tamworth over Xmas. Runaway Train came on and I'm singing along without missing a beat, despite having not heard it since it came out. I tried to convince the missus it was huge back then.

And yes, I only downloaded all of this stuff for Life Is A Highway.

And no, for some reason they neglected to put Three Little Pigs into this torrent.

Haha which is?

Oh haha. I couldn't save it as an image so I had to screenshot and then cut it out on an app. I did it quite lazily.

Why is it up to Wenger to give his job to someone else? Surely that is up to the board.

Yes, I realise that there a five fingers and a thumb. I thought of changing it but you just have played Stoke so I thought it apt.

Probably because our board have very limited knowledge about football.

Alexis & ozil back v Chelsea? We should be winning this, would like to see elneny get a run but they might opt to leave him on the bench in this one, pretty interested to get a look at him

Knowing our Injury history I'm not overly confident.

I'd be worried if you were confident tbh.

The ramifications of this game are huge. Easily the biggest game of the season so far.

- Win = the club can look back at a tough 3-4 week run, appreciate that we're still top of the league and know that key players are only days/weeks away from returning.
- Lose/draw = talk of stagnation will surface, City most probably overtake us, mental demons resurface.

We're still doing well, and one game doesn't define a season, but this game is clearly one that will go a long way to showing just how serious we are this season. Psychologically, we don't want to let City displace us.

 

[charcoalchicken]

I miss him

Just love that commentary "AHHHHWOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHH PICK THAT ONE OUT!!" After he just absolutely obliterated Man Utd.

I remember I was on the couch laughing and then shaking my head saying he's just too good.

Yeah just thankful its not this **** or Atkinson or Antony Taylor.

 

[windyhill]

2-0, lets ****ing go boys.

 

[glenferry23]

We should be winning this. Especially with Alexis and Ozil set to return.

Would like to see Elneny involved too. Perhaps in for Flamini, alongside Ramsey.

It won't happen, but Campbell is deserving of his spot on the other flank to Sanchez (but it will likely be Walcott).
