Arsenal match thread

Oh **** off Sky, I'm going for a smoke. **** you Merson, **** you Redknapp

Do you except intelligence from them, I mean really?

[Darkon]

On the positive as mentioned Degen played well and aquilani looked promising when brought on. Also we create a fair bit of chances, so that's good.

Voronin gets a lot of **** tonight, but I half the time it was to me poor runs from Ngog. You can see Voronin got a lot of game intelligence, but especially Ngog and Babbel made poor runs all around him making his passes look poor. While he might not be what we are seeking, I do think he can offer more than Babbel tbh.

ah well off to bed.

[Mattshark]

Don't think it was a penalty though, there's no way he could have got his arms out the way.

Well he shouldn't raise them!

[hamshanks]

How **** must the German league be for voronin to be one of their leading lights?

[JohnDoe]

I thought they did pretty well. Spearing's passing and hustle caught the eye, while Plessis is a pretty solid defensive midfielder.

Spearing will not make it at the highest level, his stature is just too diminutive to make it in midfield - I mean even Mascherano must tower over him?!

I think I can count with one hand the number of balls they've won in midfield today, together. They were as soft as butter and Arsenal just cut through them with ease. There were even times when Arsenal ran at our defence while our they were woefully out of position, you just can't leave your defence exposed like that.

****s yous all!

I thought we gave that a pretty good go, should have equalised.

Can't believe the **** Sky bollocks. It's like we weren't even playing.

I don't listen to a word pundits say, there is no neutrality so what's the point.

good game which we should've at least drawn.
had at as many clear chances as them but didn't take them.
should have had a pen and the voronin was onside.

i thought though that we failed to control the midfield and were easily overrun.
in defence skrtl seems at bit lost at the moment.

voronin and babel were both very poor. especially voronin was a liability with his passing.

anyway, i too thought degen had a decent game.
special praise for insua. what a goal.

yeah and aquilani - more of that please!

They shouldn't have been up there to his side, if it was covering his body I could understand.

[Gaz]

****in gobsmacked, Merson thinks we should have been given the Penalty

[Shaggy]

HALLELUJAH! Wenger says our football was equally impressive, fast technical football and there was nothing between the two teams.

And **** you Motson!

Slaughtering us on 5.

Seriously? I mean WTF?

Nah, I'm not having that, if our central midfield had been overrun like you said it was then we wouldn't have been looking at a CLOSE 2-1 defeat.

It's times like this I'm glad I don't have SKY and have only the streams; saves taking sneaky glimpses at the post match Sky bollocks and blowing a gasket like you all are.

I thought Plessis had a good first half. Remember that midfield is not a full back and for a 20 year old midfield it's very difficult. Plessis also has a good passing ! I think he' s better than Spearing from what he showed.
