Talk Football Here... - Part 6

[MrGaryy]

omg really?

[Brad.]

Is it a good match, Arsenal vs Liverpool?

[King Gizzard]

Its alright..not special

Couple of special goals though

[Brad.]

omg really?

Yeah, you said BH thread. So don't patronise me. :rolleyes:

[Brad.]

Its alright..not special

Couple of special goals though

Who scored them?

[King Gizzard]

Merida for arsenal

Insua for liverpool

[Brad.]

Thanks. :)

[30stone]

Yeah both great goals...

Has to be said, both keepers could have maybe done a bit more fabianski especially being lobbed when he was barely off his line..

Bendtner has had a pretty **** game, with moments of great play lol.
Frustrating player, same can be said for players like walcott and diaby really.

[30stone]

Start looking nervous..

Liverpool looking confident, like i said, im worried about this.

[Alf]

Why aint wilshere playing?
i was thinking that, was looking forward to seeing him play

[30stone]

i was thinking that, was looking forward to seeing him play



Injury.



GOAL BENDtner!!

[30stone]

Bendtner after that **** first half you pull out the magic


Not really an easy shot to take either.

[Alf]

what a good player that ramsey is
learning of the best in cesc

[30stone]

Ramsey amazes me will be the best welsh player once old giggs goes.


Gibbs got a warning for that? Commontators saying it would have been a yellow in pl?

We got attacked like that last man against westham but the whistle had gone so NOTHING was done, rubbish.

[King Gizzard]

Tom Cruise on the bench

[30stone]

Eduardo NO back of the NET please!!

[andyman]

Don't care about this game..

Saturday 12th December at 3pm i will care about.

[30stone]

Tom Cruise on the bench

LOL

Think the actor has him beat hands down on looks..

[Alf]

Tom Cruise on the bench
who for?

[30stone]

Don't care about this game..

Saturday 12th December at 3pm i will care about.

13th*


And its at anfield )=

[Alf]

well he is a top gun - ner

[30stone]

well he is a top gun - ner



lol

[andyman]

Yeah 13th :-)

Liverpool 3 - 1 Arsenal
(Torres hat trick)

[andyman]

Celtic 0 - 1 Hearts

:shocked:

[30stone]

I predicted 2 - 0 or 4 - 2 Arsenal
Dad predicted 2 - 1 or 3 - 1 Arsenal
I doubt ill get it.

And LOL im so happy with celtic losing hate that team.


And Nah will be 5 - 4 to Arsenal on the 13th, Arshavin's 5th..

[King Gizzard]

Budum bsh!

[30stone]

Skrtel fouled Eduardo..

Jumped up, his chin come down on Eduardo's head, poor man :(

[30stone]

Senderos is a beast tonight.

1 mistake that i have seen and it wasnt major...

[30stone]

Eduardo net please!

I feel uneasy still and with bennayoun coming on its not going to help.

[30stone]

Want to see that again i thought was a penalty.

Watt just pulled over )=

[30stone]

Eduardo again just cant score!!

[Alf]

keep me updated with scores, i'm watching andrew marr on bbc2

[30stone]

No problem. Very attacking this game its going from end to end.

Heart in my mouth a minute ago perfect oppurtunity wated...again.

[30stone]

Aqulani fouled Nasri by pulling him down.
Accidentily the back of his boot caught him in the back of the head.

Nasri has had a pretty good game definately not as good as he was but without great players around him and the fact he hasnt played since may is a good reason why though.

[Brad.]

Still 1-1?

[King Gizzard]

nah 2-1 bendtner

[30stone]

Chelsea 4 - 0 Bolton btw brad.

Drogba just scored 89th min.

[Brad.]

Ah excellent! Chelsea on fire with 9 goals in 2 games.

[30stone]

Man city were drawing 1 - 1 up until 38 minutes.

and are 5 - 1 up now

Hate that scummy team!

[Brad.]

I predicted 5-1 to City :D

[30stone]

YESSSS

2 - 1 Full Time!!!

GLEE

[Locke.]

We lost but, ahh well. Wasn't interested tonight, couldn't even be bothered watching. Just turned on for the last 10 though and Aquilani looks great, can't wait to see him when he's fully fit.

[King Gizzard]

Think man city is nearly everyones most hated team nowadays

[King Gizzard]

Ramseys got a weird voice lol, its part welsh/part sounds foreign

[30stone]

I thought he was a bit meh, didnt think he really done anything particularly helpful.


And Ramsey was key for us great prospect!
I feel with Van Persie and Torres on the pitch that could have been like 5 - 4.
So many chances wasted.

and yeah man city are just argh i hate em, i like steven ireland though.

[andyman]

More games for Arsenal is bad, Liverpool and the Liverpool fans never wanted to win this game anyway..

Prem and Champions League is our direction, FA cup can fek off aswell.

[30stone]

lol, our teams pertty big..

We have played over 35 players this season already (in all compeitions)
I think its 36 or 37.

[King Gizzard]

Its a full premiership cup now isnt it?

[30stone]

Beast of a quarter final!!!

The 8 teams throught to the quarter finals are.

Arsenal
Chelsea
Man City
Man Utd
Blackburn
Portsmouth
Villa
Spurs

Guarantee we WONT draw blackburn or portsmouth.
Thats just fact we dont have luck like that.

[King Gizzard]

With no europe weve got the team to win this cup, same with tottenham

[King Gizzard]

all the top premier league teams are there bar liverpool

[andyman]

Tottenham will win the League Cup.

[30stone]

Liverpool had the hardest draw though
Chelse and utd wasnt to bad.


Arsenal may get Portsmouth a transfer ban.
An installment of the transfer money for Diarra to move from Arsenal to Portmouth hasn't been payed.

The same could happen over glen johnson..

[30stone]

Man City will most likely win it, playing well and playing a full side every star is on the field.


Chelsea played a surprising number of star players and had them on bench..

[30stone]

If Bradley posts he jumps Jayson and goes into 5th for most posts in the football thread.

[King Gizzard]

22:55 BBC1 Carling Cup highlights

[andyman]

VILE Man Utd fans... VILE!

[30stone]

Ill be watching that after family guy :thumbs: may stop half way throught if others are watching in here tho. :)

[King Gizzard]

Highlights on now!

[30stone]

I switched off family guy.
Will watch the goals now.

See Merida's cracker again..

I think they show yesterdays games in less detail dont they?

[King Gizzard]

Yeah but ive seen most of them!

[30stone]

ARSENAL first (=

[30stone]

I saw none yesterday as i was at work until late and forgot about the highlight show, was in bed by half 12 yesterday night.

[King Gizzard]

Typical...the match we already watched lol

[30stone]

Still who wouldnt wanna watch that merida goal again?

well other than liverpool fans..

[King Gizzard]

Aquilani looks so perculiar

[30stone]

Does look a little funny doesnt he lol.

[30stone]

Ramsey get man of the match ?

My dad switched over when it finished...

[30stone]

FRAN MERIDA scores!!!!

Thats Gilbert is very fast.

[King Gizzard]

Don't think the keeper is to blame there to be honest, just such good dip and power

[30stone]

Still 1 foot back and he had that lol 1 step in it.


And great play there i love arsenals through balls.

[30stone]

Dont believe no one scored in that scramble how stupid!

[King Gizzard]

Fabianski is underrated

[30stone]

Yeah hes a good keeper showed that at end of last season.

Saying that Almunia Mannone are both quality and that polish keeper isnt far behind, so tight we have no real stand out keeper.

Almunia slightly tips the other though.

[30stone]

Id of Bought De rossi over Aqulani.

Buy either De rossi or melo on fifa...

Both amazingly good defensive midfielders, and if youhave tired players both great as attacking midfielder to..

[King Gizzard]

They would of never got de rossi...not for under 30million pounds anyway

[King Gizzard]

Id happily sign Ryan Babel to play as a striker for us

[30stone]

Thats a good point lol.
Suppose they needed both really attacking and defensive midfielder.


Wasn't hand ball for me, when a ball is blasted from 2 foot away you done have time to move.

Babels not bad yeah, i prefer Kuyt though.

[King Gizzard]

straight away shot as well meridas goal

[30stone]

Yeah was a good goal, im happy with the game it was really entertaining for me, so many chances.

[King Gizzard]

Zat Knight..so glad we got rid of him

[30stone]

Lol Seems okay maybe not villa quality though.


I think Senderos is underated.
He was nothing short of fantastic today.

[King Gizzard]

Just don't rate Kalou

Don't know why just don't

[30stone]

SAME

my dad does likes him thinks he would be great at Arsenal i would hate to buy him much rather have chamakh.


Bolton couldn't score in goalwith no keeper lol.

[30stone]

I rate malouda highly though.

[King Gizzard]

Same with malouda..generally been under par with chelsea

[30stone]

End of last season Malouda was quality!

[King Gizzard]

Yeah but thats one space of time out of like 3 years

[30stone]

Is a good point, hes never played for a club the size of chelsea though, easier to stand out in a worse team.

Malouda's got a couple already this season looks good for him.

[King Gizzard]

Never got why Sturridge went to chelsea, we were in for him where he would have had much more of a chance, in it for the money I reckon

[30stone]

Essien is AMAZING.

De Rossi, Melo and to an extent yaya toure all world class but Essien is just somthign else.

[30stone]

Never got why Sturridge went to chelsea, we were in for him where he would have had much more of a chance, in it for the money I reckon

Theres a chance he could break into first team chelsea..
That along with the money is probably why



Just wasnt boltons night at all

Edit: commentator said that as i was typing it -.-

[King Gizzard]

Four Four two tipped him to climb into the top ten best players in the world next time they publish there list..hes like in the late 20's of the list at current

[King Gizzard]

Drogba > Torres for me

Drogba has all torres attributes plus something extra

hes a brute!

[30stone]

Yeah hes amazing.

Saying that i thin ballack is underated i think hes amazing to.

Not sure about top 10..

Messi
Ronaldo
Villa
Ibrahimovic
Torres
Rooney
Fabregas
Iniesta
Xavi
Gerrard
Terry
Lampard
Casilias
kaka
Ribery

Theres 15 id rate higher i think, cant really think of anyone else though..

[30stone]

Drogba > Torres for me

Drogba has all torres attributes plus something extra

hes a brute!

Yeah for sure, Drogba is amazing.


Chelsea's starting 11 is full of stars, if you actually look at the likes of Liverpol Arsenal man utd.

I definately think there is more stars in the team.

[30stone]

Ireland Rate him so high i think hes quality, remembering hes only like 22..

[30stone]

Bad defending by lescott.

[King Gizzard]

the top 5 was..messi then ronaldo, then iniesta/xavi 3 and 4 in no particular order, then villa

[30stone]

the top 5 was..messi then ronaldo, then iniesta/xavi 3 and 4 in no particular order, then villa

Im not surprised.

Though i have to say Ibrahimovic has everything you want in a stiker.


Hes strong as anyone.
Hes fast.
He can always finish.
and hes 6 foot 4.

Fabregas will take xavi's place once hes too old.

Team of the Year:

-----------Casillas----------

Ronaldo--Iniesta--Xavi--Messi
------Torres---Villa---------

Van Persie is stupidly to low on that list.

And for me..

--------Casilas---------
Ramos-Terry-Vidic-Cole
-Ronaldo-iniesta-Xavi-
-Villa-Ibrahimovic-Messi

So many players thatare so close though.

[King Gizzard]

Too early to tell in Ibra's barca career

[King Gizzard]

Manure only had to pay 3m for obertan..if he works out to be good that will be an immense deal

[30stone]

If i couldnt have those 11 it would be.

---------Cech--------
Alves-Ferdinand-Gallas-Clichy/Evra
-Lampard-Essien-Fabregas-Gerrard-
-----Torres-----Drogba

Possibly Arshavin in the team.

And Yeah its a little early but really hes nothing short of amazing is he lol.
you can see his quality.

[30stone]

7 League goals in 7 matches for Ibrahimovic.

[King Gizzard]

Rather have Cesar in goal then Cech, or even van der sar, cech has been not his usual self since that head injury

[30stone]

For me the first sort of 28 games of this season he was quality, onlytoward the end he started making a few mistakes.

Arsenal and Utd both wanted him before Chelsea lol..shoulda bought him.

But hes better than VDS 100% for me. Ceaser i dont know dont see him play really.

[30stone]

Who would your starting 11, and secondary starting 11 be?

[30stone]

Guzan looks good.
A few shots fired straight at him.
And penalties are a bit of luck if your honest...


But he definately looks like a big prospect for Villa and USA.

[King Gizzard]

my alternative..

Julio Cesar

Dani Alves Terry Pique Evra

Arshavin Essien Sneijder Gerrard

Rooney Drogba

[30stone]

portsmouth have been handed the transfer ban already? know how long it is?

And nice team.

Sniejder although i rate him highly i think there are better.

players like Fabregas and gerrard and lampard.

[30stone]

Rate Luis Fabiano highly too great player.

[King Gizzard]

I know...its just Sneijder is one of my favourite players

and I think its just for the moment, they can get it lifted after an appeal/after they sort out stuff with you guys

They are hopeful to get it lifted before january

[30stone]

Ohh right yeah, thats fair enough i havent got nothing against portsmouth.
Obviously though if they havent payed until they do they should have it.


It was over Glen johnson apparently too, they said to a lesser extent. but that they havent payed for him either.

[Locke.]

Buffon [Juventus]

Daniel Alves [Barcelona], Lucio [Inter], Cole [Chelsea]

Mascherano [Liverpool], Mikel [Chelsea]

Ronaldo [Real], Kaka [Real], Messi [Barcelona]

Gerrard [Liverpool]

Torres [Liverpool] / Villa [Valencia] / Drogba [Chelsea]

Unbeatable

[King Gizzard]

Change mikel with essien and thats amazing

[30stone]

No Messi?

Lucio infront of people like terry...

and Mascherano LOL dont rate him much, more quality player than him.

[30stone]

Change mikel with essien and thats amazing



Didnt notice Mikel either lol hes so poor...!

De Rossi and Essien?

[Locke.]

Messi's there. And forgot all about Essien....

Had Terry there at first just didn't want 2 Chelsea players in the defence. And have Mascherano because he's the best at what he does

[King Gizzard]

Theres 13 players in that team as well lol

[Locke.]

The 3 up front have /'s on them, couldn't decide on 1

[30stone]

If i was to play that formation...


Iker Casilias

Sergio Ramos , John Terry , Ashley Cole

Danielle De Rossi , Mikel Essien

Christiano Ronaldo , Andreas Iniesta , Andrey Arshavin

Francesc Fabregas

David Villa / Zlatan ibrahimovic / Dider Drogba


I think..


Possibly Add..

Gerrard, Torres, Lampard

[King Gizzard]

Don't think id like 3 at the back although one on the holding mids could drop in

[30stone]

Same as it would worry me.


That said 2 defensive midfielders is good cover.


Wonder if Vermaelen will ever get his chance to play as a midfielder..

Apparently hes god there, i think he shines as a defender though.

[King Gizzard]

JkmfrKUxkBQ

LOL one of my best mates at 1min03, hes in the yellow shirt shouting at faye, my other best mate is in blue sitting down

i didnt notice it at the time but he sent me it!

[Alf]

marlon king been sent down for 18 months

here's a song for him
(to the tune of kumbaya)

she said no marlon, she said no
she said no marlon, she said no
she said no marlon, she said no
oh marlon she said no

[King Gizzard]

Lol!! nice chant

[King Gizzard]

Fabianski out for 3-weeks with injury! Hes just got back as well

[Alf]

former hull city chairman adam pearson is tipped to return to the club as chairman after the departure of paul duffen yesterday.
pearson is the man who saved hull city from administration in 2001 and helped us too two promotions from the depths of the football league.
he is hugely popular with the hull fans.

[Novo]

Bet Marlon King will do a Lee hughes after he comes out of prison

and play for someone like Yeovil

[King Gizzard]

Epic saturday of football awaits! hope alot of people are on

[andyman]

On Sunday 14th August 2005 at 10:02pm, a young knight posted a thread that changed Tibb forever, the young knight was Sir Mike The Great, the thread was... Talk Football Here.

Saturday 14th August 2010 will be the 5th Birthday, we shall eat and drink plenty on the epic day..

[King Gizzard]

Johnson and Gerrard out of the liverpool game

Aquilani also as he has a virus (not swine flu)

Torres most likely will play

[King Gizzard]

carew better than you

5 Years wow.

and i am in hope Arsenal can beat tottenham


They have 3 key players out :)

Defoe - Possibly
Lennon and Modric - Injured.


Everton are top of the injuries list with 10 right now 2 ahead of Arsenal who are second.

Everton will be without.

New player Billyaletdinov
Osman
Pienaar
Neville
Anichabe
Jagielka
Arteta
Yobo is a maybe and Baines is a maybe.


Arsenal have

Traore
Wilshire
Vela
Fabianski
Rosicky
Walcott
Denilson
Djourou
All out.

[King Gizzard]

Defoe deffinetly out..suspended

[30stone]

Ohhh right Awesome.

Good for Arsenal i guess.

[Locke.]

Doesn't matter really, Spurs probably have the best strike force in the league... Defoe, Keane, Crouch, Pavleychenko (don't know how it's spelt). All them can be relied on to score when needed. And Bentley will fill in for Lennon,think we all remember what happened last time he played against Arsenal.

[30stone]

We have players that will deliver the goals to happyily.

I think we just play better football and if were having a good game we should be able to win it.

[Locke.]

Fans' MOTM table 2009-10:

Glen Johnson 3
Fernando Torres 2
Yossi Benayoun 2
Dirk Kuyt 2
David Ngog 1
Pepe Reina 1
Javier Mascherano 1
Martin Kelly 1
Emiliano Insua 1

Gerrard and Carragher with 0 so far, usually them 2 and Torres getting the most.

[30stone]

Insua get his against Arsenal?


As i think the goal = fantastic, his overall performance = average, he couldnt handle bendtners strength.

[30stone]

How do you find that out btw?

[Locke.]

Yeah Insua's was for the Arsenal game. And it was on the liverpool website

[30stone]

I dont think his performance was that great, if have probably said Skrtel he was getting in loads of tackles (even htough i dont likee him at all lol)

Insua scored so that a big plus but really he performance wasnt the best..

Bendtner had 8 inches on him, every time a long ball was played at head height bendtner got it, though it cam to nothing because hes poor.

[30stone]

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Woody is training along with King. Hopefully they'll start together, as it'd be a big boost. Keane and Crouch pairing will be meh at best, so if anyone scores, expect it to be Jenas.

By the way, wheres the Rio interest coming from? I know Arry tried to get Anton at the end of the summer window, and luckily failed.

[King Gizzard]

Jay Bothroyd LMAO!

cant believe carragher did'nt get man of the match against manchester united
he was head and shoulders above every other player on that pitch

i'd love fabio capello to talk him out of international retirement, the world's best natural defender should be in the world cup tournament.

[King Gizzard]

I was a bit surprised he didn't come out of retirement when Mclaren left

I thought Mclaren was the main reason he retired anyway

that shirt looks to big for him, looks more like it would fit his son

(ooh that was below the belt)

[30stone]

Not sure, its just because ferdinand is looking shakey at man utd.

Keane and crouch will be good i think both tall and strong.
Vermaelen can out jump basically anyone though :)

I want to win this so badly so so badly lol.

Arshavin or RVP should score today.

[30stone]

the world's best natural defender should be in the world cup tournament.

Terry will be there no worries.

[30stone]

Soemthings bugging me so much.

And that is man city on sky..

They are on all the adverts..
Man city is on tv almost every week..

They are playing birmingham, and they put that game on... its awful. they have been on more than anyother team.

[30stone]

We finally have our starting 11 back that we had beat everton 6 - 1 and blackburn 6 - 2 and portsmouth n wigan like 4 - 0 or 4 - 1

Almunia

Sagna
Vermaelen
Gallas
Clichy

Song
Fabregas
Diaby

Bendtner
Van Persie
Arshavin.

[30stone]

In Arsene We Trust.

1000 Points today i hope.

[30stone]

Odds to get hatrick.

Van Persie 1/33
Arshavin 1/50
Crouch 1/100
Fabregas 1/100
Keane 1/100

[30stone]

Carling Cup Quarter final draw has dawn

Man Utd vs Tottenham
Man City vs Arsenal


Not sure of the others yet.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

CC Quarters

Blackburn v Chelsea
Manure v Spurs
Porstmouth v Villa
Man City v Arsenal

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Ah you beat me...

To half of them :p

[King Gizzard]

Draw was kinda kind to us..Wish we were at home though

[30stone]

I believe i said we would draw man city... would never draw portsmouth, bloody typical our luck.

[30stone]

I dont think Tottenhams bench is weaker than ours to be honest..

[30stone]

Luis Suarez has scored 21 goals in 16 games for Ajax :o

I want him at Arsenal.

[30stone]

Bendtner shot from outside the box.. not bad but..

Arshavin, van Persie fabregas or vermaelen would have all netted that.

[Chels]

i agree with the guy on soccer am i think it's gonna be arsenal 2-2 spurs

[30stone]

3 - 1 Arsneal we look great so far.


Bentley could be off already.

Blatently deliberate handball..
Now very very late challenege on vermaelen and still no yellow.

What the **** is this **** ****ing **** ref waste of space.

Hope Vermaelen tanks him.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Haha, Bentley trying to replicate his goal last year.

[setanta]

he didn't book him for either! that's mental.

[30stone]

Van Persie amazes me, dont know why hes not rated higher.. some awesome skill.

[setanta]

It's cuz he's not a showboater and unfortunately doesn't score enough. I think the fella's world class though.

[30stone]

he didn't book him for either! that's mental.

Late challenge on Vermaelen could have got a red if it was late in the game.

but 100% a yellow and so should the hand ball have been..

thats 2 blatent fouls, id put money on that he will get a card this game now.


Arshavin had a wobbly ball and took a shot didnt get the power.

Clichy great interception, so fast.
One of the best in the world.

[Brad.]

2 hours until kick-offs. Hopefully this thread will be busy today.

[setanta]

i have money on Bentley to get booked and Arshavin to score. It's Bentley's first league start in ages so he's bound to be full of beans.

[30stone]

Tottenham player should have got booked then Ekotto..


and yeah i tihnk Arshavin will score.


I predicted on here 2 - 1 Arsenal but i think 3 - 1.

Arshavin x 2
Van Persie x 1
and crouch getting a goal form a set piece.

[30stone]

Ekotto another foul for me. but ref didnt give it.

[30stone]

Great tackle from song good pressure from vermaelen with keane through on goal.

[30stone]

****

Arshavin shot hit defender dropped to fabregas, and gomez done amazing.

AMAZING save my gosh.

[setanta]

This ref is a bit of a puzzler to me. I think he was reffing one last week that I was watching and he made dodgy decisions there too. Can't remember exactly though.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Gomes is so underrated.

[setanta]

Gomez is a good shot stopper but not sure about him in other areas.

[30stone]

Yeah this ref's watching another game right now..

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

****

Arshavin shot hit defender dropped to fabregas, and gomez done amazing.

AMAZING save my gosh.

Top 6 keeper, seriously. Along with Given, Howard, Reina, Cech and VDS.

[30stone]

We need a goal before half time badly.
The pressure has been amazing we just need to finish.
Chelsea if they had the chances we have coulda put 2 away, thats what worries me.


Like Setanta said shot stopping great other areas im unsure, i think almuina is a amazing shot stopper but his judgement sometimes isnt the best.

[King Gizzard]

Its the story of most goalkeepers these days, amazing reflexes, but theyre unsure of themselves when doing other things

[30stone]

I ****ing hate that.

Blatent obstreuction of the ball... holding someone back?


why is that never given?

[King Gizzard]

From a distance, almunias kit looks a bit like spurs

[setanta]

It's a real grey area but it's all about control of the ball and in that case Corluka's body was over the ball, sheperding it out of play.

[Brad.]

Gomez makes too many mistakes in other areas, but he can make some great saves. I predicted 2-1 to Arsenal in this game but I'm not watching, so I don't know how it's going.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Just hoofing it to Crouch :(

Really wish Pav would be given another chance..

[30stone]

Brad Arsenal have kinda dominated this game so far just tottenham are defending very well.

[30stone]

Problem with our team every player is an offensive player..

Our back 4, all of them like to make runs up the pitch the 2 centre backs both go up for corners and free kicks..

So we are left open for a counter attack.

[30stone]

Van Persie changed it over to his left foot...

awkward looking and just not agood shot at all.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Gomez makes too many mistakes in other areas, but he can make some great saves. I predicted 2-1 to Arsenal in this game but I'm not watching, so I don't know how it's going.

Think people are still holding some silly blunders from last year against him. He's settled now, commands his area well, makes amazing saves. Only really thing he's been dodgy at is goal kicks so far; and last year we only conceded something like 11 at home in total.

[30stone]

Counter attack please.

[setanta]

Nah, Gomez isn't good enough for a top 4 team but sure neither is Almunia.

[30stone]

Almunia is very underated i think..

[30stone]

Bendtner coming off, probably eboue or eduardo... or even nasri.

[30stone]

Vermaelen saves us again lol

[30stone]

Bendtner off Eduardo on.


They are tacking Arshavin very hard today, worried about him?

[setanta]

For all Arsenal's domination here, they still always look dodgy at the back.

[30stone]

Yep.

good catch for almunia, missed that and crouch would have hit the net.

Van persie shoots it straight at the keeper again. blind shot though.

[setanta]

I admire how Wenger sets his team out to play attractive football, but sometimes you need a hardy midfielder in there to cover your back line. He doesn't really have that kinda player but to be fair I don't think he wants one. He prefers to win 4-2 rather than 2-0

[30stone]

Dont like palacios think hes a bit of a dirty player..
arm striaght up into the face then, prick.



GOAL RVP!!!!!!

[30stone]

Just before half time perfect.


So many shots and finallt he does it, under so much pressure from bassong there. but great first time strike!!!

[30stone]

Fabregas 2 - 0 !!!!

[setanta]

Goal for me in fantasy football.

[setanta]

Another goal for me in fantasy football.

[30stone]

We didnt even seee that lol they were still playing van persie.


Fabregas poached the last man and got the ball, from there, fabregas doesnt miss.

[King Gizzard]

That was brilliant.

[setanta]

That's shocking stuff for Spurs.

[30stone]

Pushed Arshavin straight over again no foul.
Refs really aggrovating me.

Them saying bentley would be great this match perfect cross' into crouch.. lol.

Its deserving for us to be winning i think most would agree.

[Novo]

Fabregas is my captain!

[30stone]

Fabregas is my captain!

I like your faith andy.

Playing a on form spurs and you have him as captain..


And LOLOL 11 seconds between our goals ahaha

[Brad.]

2-0? Spurs will pull one back.

[setanta]

It's true though... Arsenal can always concede so it's not over yet. He'll have to bring on Krancjar or something.

[30stone]

It will now finish.

2 - 0
2 - 1
3 - 1

either of those.

[30stone]

I can see us conceeding, but with our performance i can see us getting another.

Depends how spurs play, if they feel defeated then we could run riot, if they come out fighting it will stil be tough.

[Brad.]

2-2 finish for Ben again. :)

[setanta]

I think it depends more on how Arsenal approach second half. They sometimes switch off and Spurs will keep going cuz Redknapp will give them a good bollocking now.

[Brad.]

Harry Redknapp will give the Spurs players great confidence going out for the second half, so I expect them to get a goal before 70 minutes and push for an equaliser late on.

[30stone]

Bradley you disgust me :nono:


And Fabregas' best season ever?...

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

I think you'll grab a couple more. We'll never control possesion for signifcant periods when we're just hoofing it to Crouch again.

We're just shiser withou Modric/Lennon.

[30stone]

Problem with lennon playing against us is, he uses his pace so much.
But clichy can outrun and outpower him..


I think it COULD end like 4 - 2 now really.

[30stone]

Arshavin advert <3

He needs a goal.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

Works against Evra.

[30stone]

Evra isnt as strong though i dont think, lennon out powers him.


Wonder if Vermaelen will get captaincy in the future to help the defence..? Van Persie current vice captain, think Vermaelen will be soon.

[30stone]

Spurs applying good pressure so far playing with it not just booting it and hoping captain lanky heads it.

[30stone]

Okay back to booting it upfield...

[setanta]

Is Lennon seriously on the bench?

[30stone]

Lennon is injured.

[setanta]

Ah ok.

[30stone]

Arsenal almost got the 3rd then.

[setanta]

I'd bring on Krancjar and Pav at 60

[30stone]

And just so you know the benches setanta.

Spurs: David Button, Alan Hutton, Gareth Bale, Roman Pavsomthingorother, Michael Dawson, Niko Kranjcer, Jonathan Woodgate

Arsenal: Mannone, Senderos, Nasri, Ramsey, Eboue, Gibbs (Eduardo already on)

[30stone]

Eduardo should have scored then one on one with keeper, should have chipped it or just kicked it like 3 foot high and it would have been a simple goal..



Great defending by Vermaelen and Gallas there, Particularly Vermaelen..
Has the potential to be a new Arsenal legend.. anyone agree?

[30stone]

I'd bring on Krancjar and Pav at 60


Gareth Bale is coming on .

For Huddlestone.

[Sir_Diary_of_Roomus]

I'd bring on Krancjar and Pav at 60

This.

[30stone]

****.

Free kick edge of the area.

[setanta]

That's interesting. Obviously fancies taking them out wide.

[30stone]

That's interesting. Obviously fancies taking them out wide.


So they can cross it to crouch.

Great save from almunia.

[30stone]

Andy gray **** off...

" i though he should of caught it "


Likelihood you could catch a ball traveling at that speed without spilling it??

[30stone]

Im still nervous after we ****ed it at upton park.

GOALLLL!!!!!

VAN PERSIE
