Arsenal match thread

[Nic83]

pepe is very suspect in the air and has been since day 1.

Agreed massively overrated.

[Zapater]

It's pissing me off that Riise isn't only horrendous, he's stupid too which makes it more frustrating.

[Nic83]

**** me Riise really is ****

You're ****

[bigfooty]

Crouch gives it away, Flamini is on to it and drives a shot low at Pepe who holds on well.

[blacky]

Agreed massively overrated.

So over rated that he continues to break all the clubs goalkeeping records!!

[Nic83]

You get paid for this big footy? I wonder if anyone actually reads it

[bigfooty]

Traore clatters Crouch from behind to give us a chance to load up the box.

Gerrard flings it in, over Crouch, Arsenal look to break but a strong tackle on Eboue breaks it up.

Clichy coming on for Arsenal. Voronin was stripped and ready to come on but no sign yet.

[bigfooty]

Carra defends well on a cross there. He's made many a good tackle and block today.

[Reece]

You're ****

So you are allowed to slag off Reina constantly, but when I slag off Riise you get all precious?

[carlton]

lucas needs to write out a 1000 times ' I must get rid of the ball quicker'. He dwells on it for far too long.

This is where I will tell you to use your brains rather than answering directly to your post. Failing that, I might say something along the lines of Massimo Taibi would also break all these records if playing in that team.

He's the best thing to happen to us in a long time some would say. Of course the same people will be saying that Plessis will take over that mantle soon!

Riise's deflected cross test Almunia, clawed away, we then lose it but Arsenal's counter-attack breaks up.

17 minutes to go. Riise throws it in, we keep the pressure on, Yossi wins a throw near the corner flag. Finnan chips it in, Crouch looks to bring it down and overhead it but goes well over.

Yossi off, The Mighty Crow comes on.

[Nic83]

Here comes Voronin.

crouch should have knocked that cross back.
