carmine Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Agreed 2unique - daft, but Wenger has always had a soft spot for 'Mr Sideways' Ramsey. I thought the midfield played as well as I've seen them do all season. Fast and crisp accurate short passing; good desire to win the ball back. I thought Bale's run was unstoppable Chicog, whereas Lennon's was so bloody obviously going to happen and Monreal just stopped running with him; pathetic illustration of the follies of zonal defense. Keown and Adams must be turning in their graves (ooops - they haven't died). Maybe its quiet on here cos we are just waking up Smokie? It just wasn't Giroud's day, (again) Your not keeping up are ya SS, we've had this with mjj, a zonal defence only operates at set pieces not in open play, i won't charge you this time but from now on i will be charging for any football lessons i give to ya I doubt very much if Wenger knows what zonal defending is and i definately think the Arsenal defense WAS trying to defend zonally in their midfield. PUB TEAM that would struggle on sunday at Hackney Marsh's. Two bob club and a manager that thinks its correct and respectful to turn up to a north london derby wearing a puffer jacket dress. <deleted>!!!

carmine Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) BTW chaps, i'm not one to gloat as you know but you'd better not play that high defensive line against Bayern or it could get horridly messy. Edited March 4, 2013 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 no I reckon Zenger tried to be clever, right hand side went man to man and left hand side went zonal and it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 "Mr Kroenke is committed to Arsenal FC for the long term and has no intention of selling," Arsenal communications director Mark Gonnella told BBC Sport. So now we know and I must eat my proverbial hat. On the other hand we all know the veracity of 'not selling'/'not sacking' statements and their like in football.

Chicog Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm not sure I'd be happy being some camel jockey's plaything. The born-again Citeh fans love it, but then again, like the tiny totts, they hadn't won a league since before Kennedy's assassination. Gotta love the pub team up the road. You'd think they'd already won the title, such is their desperation to finish above the big North London club. <heh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hmmmm do you realise we are exactly where we were last season? 7pts the gap. The tiny tott giant killers go to Anfield to face Cilla Suarez at the weekend, while we can relax. (By the way, when is the commemorative mug/DVD coming out?). Then the fun starts (I've left out remaining CL games for obvious reasons <heh>) Arsenal remaining: Sat 16th Mar Swansea A Sat 30th Mar Reading H Sat 6th Apr W.B.A. A Sat 13th Apr Norwich H Tue 16th Apr Everton H Sat 20th Apr Fulham A Sun 28th Apr Manchester United H Sat 4th May QPR A Sun 12th May Wigan Athletic H Sun 19th May Newcastle United A Slightly trickier tiny totts run in: Mar 10 Liverpool A Mar 17 Fulham H Mar 30 Swansea A Apr 07 Everton H Apr 14 Chelsea A Apr 21 Man City H Apr 27 Wigan A May 04 Southampton H May 12 Stoke A May 19 Sunderland H And Chelski: Mar 17 West Ham Utd H Mar 31 Southampton A Apr 6 Sunderland H Apr 14 Tottenham H Apr 21 Liverpool A Apr 27 Swansea City H May 4 Man Utd A May 12 Aston Villa A May 19 Everton H However, the odds on Arsenal still getting top 4 are still a ridiculous 7/4. Or perhaps they've looked at the fixtures. Give me some value you mean bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Not Giant Killers yet Chicog. We will assume that tag when we have taken all six points off Man Yoo next season and reached the CL Semi Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Just heard an interesting stat on TalkSport. It means nothing really but if you split the results from the 90 minutes into two halfs. If you used just the first half of the match, with the scores that Arsenal have had they would have been in 10th spot. But if you just counted the second half, they would have been sitting in first place, 2 points ahead of Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 AVB has an opinion on Arsenal. Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas believes Arsenal are in a "negative spiral" of results that will be "extremely difficult" to get out of. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21653074 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
