Arsenal

He's shit.

As are the officials in the Liverpool-Man U game. This time failing to spot an obvious offside that puts the game out of Liverpool's reach (although it was probably out of reach already).

[Chicog]

[Chicog]

@Arsenal: Dates confirmed for @Arsenal v @AS_Monaco: home leg February 25, away leg March 17

[SantiSuk]

Best draw possible for us. Monaco will not be happy. Lets hope we don't mess it up.

Walcott might finally be back for the Liverpool game. I wonder where/if Welbeck plays if and when all three of Sanchez/Giroud and Walcott are fully fit. Impact sub I guess.

A nice problem to have. If you can't find room for all of them City will take one off your hands. I'd even settle for Sanogo right now.

Best draw possible for Monaco I reckon.

Very perceptive MrB and methinks you're right!!

The Chav/PSG draws an interesting one.

[SantiSuk]

I trust that your skills of perception will continue at the level of your early season pontification about how badly Man U would do this year Carmine!

[Chicog]

Sounds like the rich b'stards are only giving us 750 tickets.

So let's hope we stuff them and give them 750 as well.

Its still early doors to judge Man Utd's progress Santi, but if the truth be known i never realized how bad the rest of us are to allow them to be third. Its not like they are even playing well. Aside of the obvious grit they are playing with their style of play is still as turgid as it was in september.

Is it any wonder we have an us and them mentality at United with comments like that.

It is good to know that you now have realized how shit you are.

As for United we can only get better we reds know that and so does everyone else

If you have such sensitivity as to pick on a simple word like that then i'm sure its no surprise to anyone United fans have that mentality.

Get over yourself Mr Ed.

It wasn't just the word it was the sentence "allow them to be third"

Oh how i miss that Ferguson us and them mentality ...i hope LVG gets into it soon there are a few tell tale signs just of late

No one likes us we don't care (Millwall)

[carmine]

Fergusons attitude was the reason many disliked United.

Perhaps LVG will get a big whisky nose aswell and abuse match officials!!

Could you take your moaners bitching thread somewhere else please?

Sorry i thought that was welcome on any thread!

We try and keep this thread tidy you know.

Beat Monaco, then get Basel or Porto and who knows what might happen. Sanchez is the new Suarez (minus the dental atrocities).

[SantiSuk]

He's good but I doubt I'll see another of the likes of Suarez in the Prem. Definitely a once in a half generation striker.

You must have your eyes shut when Aguero is playing then Santi

[SantiSuk]

Just had a look at the schedule for today to see which 2-3 matches I'll be watching.

How did the Prem put together 7 matches on one day that look so totally dull? Too many home bankers

Guess I can get the enthusiasm up for the Villa v Manchester United game but think I can wait for the highlights of the rest.

OK - you lot can rip into me if you think I got that wrong - sell me another fixture to watch please!!

I agree with you

Although i think the Saints Everton game is well worth a watch incidentally it is Live on channel 3 with English commentary.

[SantiSuk]

Yes you're right Red. Two teams desperate to regain some traction and both well-organised and well-skilled. You convinced me!

[Chicog]

Villa have a habit of scoring first and losing in that game at this time of year.

[SantiSuk]

Looks like giving the boys three days off was a mistake. They have forgotten how to find space and pass to each other. Liverpool well worth the lead.

Opps one against the head!

[SantiSuk]

Typical Arsene - never change plans mid stream. It is shoutingly obvious that Wellbeck is playing out of sorts and is an unnecessary luxury at 2-1 up when our midfield is being overrun.

Edit: can't find out who's on the bench other than Bellerin. Even he would be a more useful resource than Wellbeck at this stage. Can still have two up front with Giroud and Sanchez.

Even if we hold for a draw it's more than we deserve. Such an awful performance on so many levels.

Edit: OK so one point is one point - but it indicates we will do no better than scrap for 4th place (provided we get some decent defensive players on January).

I don't like this Wellbeck + Giroud set-up at all. Oxlade-Chamberlain was not quite fit and had to do too much cover for the very poor Chambers/Debuchy right side of defence. That plus an excellent Liverpool midfield performance meant we were never remotely in control of the mid third.

Still on target for a Wenger exit (self-selected) at the end of the season IMO. Probably anger because we end up lower than Spuds and because Arene's coats aren't warm enough for Ukranian winter Thursdays

Hehehe sometimes your posts are gold!

[rijit]

God and i thought ou bac line was poor and what the f was that 35 % poss'cion about!! jeez,, thats a shocker considering your style. the second arsenal lowest ever i believe.. And yeah santi giroud and wellbeck aint a good combi. And girouds coming into a bit of form so looks like wellbeck for the chop with sanchez and wallcott either side, sounds scarily good to me.
