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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

****

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

AMAZING save my gosh.

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.

Gomes is so underrated.

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

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

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

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.

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

I ****ing hate that.

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


why is that never given?

From a distance, almunias kit looks a bit like spurs

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.

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.

Just hoofing it to Crouch :(

Really wish Pav would be given another chance..

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

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.

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

awkward looking and just not agood shot at all.
