Arsenal match thread

[MrMichael]

We've started pretty well actually.

Ooo, that offside against Crouch was well close.

[bigfooty]

First decent bit of Arsenal play, Hoyte finds himself in acres of space but his cross is easy for Pepe.

Sky talking nonsense about Skrtel AGAIN

[Roboklopp]

tsk, sktrtel

[bigfooty]

Bad tackle from Skrtel on Walcott, given for a corner, should have been a free-kick and a booking.

Corner comes out to Eboue who slaps it wide when falling over.

[bigfooty]

Crouch does well, slips in Pennant, his cross is blocked when we had 2v2 in the middle of the box.

[bigfooty]

Riise does well to hurry Fabregas, Pennant trys to find Crouch with a flick but just skids off the turf and away from Crouch.

[bigfooty]

Crouch is doing a good job troubling them in the air. Pennant finds Crouch who flicks it on to Lucas but crowded out and Arsenal get it back.

[bigfooty]

Superb pass by Crouch to slip in Riise but it's on his right foot and he blazes it over.

[MrMichael]

Did you have to blast that Riise?

[shanks69]

riise near miss just over,maybe he should use his right foot more.

[Zapater]

**** riise sucks

[bigfooty]

Subdued atmosphere at the ground, can hear our fans now.

[Zapater]

Man Rafa looked pissed off. Could be the final nail in his coffin.
