WTF Arsenal? I'm happy I can't watch this shit.

[Venti Quattro]

Retarded back line imo tbh. Arsenal needs Koscielny back. Djourou is one retarded and useless fucker.

[Venti Quattro]

Wigan's players are fucking ugly. Ah whatever. I'm just hella pissed.

[Venti Quattro]

:cry QPR
:cry Wigan

[resistanze]

I like how arsenal keeps dropping random turds. Keeps us on our toes.

[Venti Quattro]

LOL van Persie

Classless. Very un-Spurs like. :cry :cry

[Venti Quattro]

I like how arsenal keeps dropping random turds. Keeps us on our toes.

Arsene's backline was retarded.

:lol Djourou. You're getting sold you fucking scrub

[Agloco]

Wigan looked sharp for a 1:30 stretch. Just saying.

[resistanze]

Arsene's backline was retarded.

:lol Djourou. You're getting sold you fucking scrub

Djourou and Ramsey are 2 players that need to be shipped wherever the fuck Arshavin went.

[Muser]

Wouldn't look into that game too much tbh. Wigan were in god mode for 90 minutes.

[Venti Quattro]

Wouldn't look into that game too much tbh. Wigan were in god mode for 90 minutes.

fucking annoying tbh. Arsenal had majority of possession but couldn't get anything started

btw Muser you think Birmingham has a good shot of being promoted this year?

[Muser]

Yeah hopefully. Only need 1 point from 2 games to guarantee a play-off spot and then it's pretty much a crap-shoot.

Arteta is out for the season. Damn. :bang

[NASpurs]

What a blow. Means that Ramsey is going to get more minutes. Benayoun is out against Chelsea so that means Wenger is going to do some shuffling and it's going to be interesting to see what he puts on the pitch.

This lineup seems obvious right?

Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Santos
- Song - Ramsey - Rosicky
- Walcott - AOC
RVP

[Venti Quattro]

Arsene, please don't put Ramsey in the wings...

Arsenal vs Chelsea tomorrow morning


Bitches

And then clasico

[NASpurs]

Hope to see Arsenal kick some Chelsea ass today and a great El Clasico. Had some great sleep. Everything seems right in the world fellow Spurs fan after yesterday.

Sup Venti. Cool sig bro.

[NASpurs]

Arsenal's starting lineup today:

Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Song, Ramsey, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Van Persie.

Gibbs starting instead of Santos but everything else seemed kind of obvious.

[quentin_compson]

I like that Ox gets to start. Also, no Drogba is good news for Arsenal, as he has historically abused them time and time again.

[Venti Quattro]

Damn he was too hurt from flopping?

[NASpurs]

It would be great if Arsenal kept giving up the ball in the midfield. That's probably asking for too much today.

[quentin_compson]

It would be great if Arsenal kept giving up the ball in the midfield. That's probably asking for too much today.

Yeah, they're too sloppy so far.

[NASpurs]

Damn great set piece... too bad RVP!

[100%duncan]

Leggo Chelsea. Good warm-up before Barca though my boy Drogba ain't playin.

[Venti Quattro]

RvP's form is bad. He woodworked an open offside goal.

[NASpurs]

Good thing Torres is playing. Szczesny might end up with a clean sheet.

[Muser]

lol Cahill

Chelsea got this though IMO.

[100%duncan]

My god, Sturridge is the Football version of Rudy Gay.

[Muser]

R:lolmsey

[NASpurs]

R:lolmsey

We know :depressed

[Muser]

:lmao at the being a goal kick.

[Venti Quattro]

Is that the cute Chelsea physio? :lol

[100%duncan]

C'mon Torres, at least earn a playing time for the 2nd leg.

[NASpurs]

Jesus Christ, Arsenal's midfield.

[Muser]

Torres earns his place every game IMO, he chases after ever single ball and puts the defensive line under huge pressure.

[NASpurs]

Some great passing in that last sequence from Arsenal.

[Muser]

If Fabregas wasn't a faggot Arsenal would be pretty damn good.

[100%duncan]

Torres earns his place every game IMO, he chases after ever single ball and puts the defensive line under huge pressure.

But still, doesn't score. If he just played like he did before, Chelsea would be so much better and dangerous.

[quentin_compson]

Ramsey and Rosicky are horrible.

[NASpurs]

Ramsey and Rosicky are horrible.

What changes would you make at the half concerning the midfield or is this one of those times that you're stuck with who you've got?

[NASpurs]

Fuck!

[100%duncan]

lmao another woodwork

[Venti Quattro]

Arsenal's offense is better now. Two close goals.

[Muser]

But still, doesn't score. If he just played like he did before, Chelsea would be so much better and dangerous.

Torres has 7 goals for the season, Sturridge has 11. Not exactly a huge gap to deserve so much hate.

[NASpurs]

Goodness that was beautiful passing. Too bad.

[Venti Quattro]

That was a retarded move from Oxlade-Chamberlain. lol shooting with people in front of you.

[quentin_compson]

What changes would you make at the half concerning the midfield or is this one of those times that you're stuck with who you've got?

Well, I'm afraid there aren't really any options in central midfield, as I absolutely don't want to see Diaby. Although he couldn't have been much worse than Ramsey/Rosicky so far. Gervinho would be an option on the wings.

Not a good first half by Arsenal, but they still had the better chances.

[NASpurs]

That's what I was thinking. Put Gervinho on the wing and then maybe move AOC to the midfield but the last 10-15 minutes of the first half were positive for Arsenal so it's probably better to build up from that and not just knee jerk right now, so keep what you have.

[100%duncan]

Torres has 7 goals for the season, Sturridge has 11. Not exactly a huge gap to deserve so much hate.

Yeap, I'm quite lost in all the hate in him. I just hope to have Good ol' El Nino back.

[Venti Quattro]

Not a good first half by Arsenal, but they still had the better chances.

That's also what happened last Tuesday. Chelsea's defense is swarming.

Diaby sucks :lol

[100%duncan]

RVP or Rooney?

[NASpurs]

RvP :lmao wtf

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao van Persie

[NASpurs]

Complains for a yellow and then gets a yellow himself 20 seconds later.

[100%duncan]

Cahill, really was a good addition to the Blues.

[Venti Quattro]

What a useless challenge from RvP. Cheap and stupid yellow.

[100%duncan]

Wasn't a yellow tbh.

[NASpurs]

So fucking sloppy.

[100%duncan]

Chelsea's passing has been awful.

[NASpurs]

Gervinho time? Seems like it is.

[Venti Quattro]

Walcott. :bang :bang

[100%duncan]

OMG Chelsea damn it

[100%duncan]

Walcott's pretty damned hurt

[NASpurs]

Walcott pulling up lame. Get him out.

[Muser]

Chamberlain is worse than Walcott at crosses :lol

[NASpurs]

Here comes the Forehead.

[Venti Quattro]

WTF was Theo doing playing more minutes in the first place? Stupid tbh

[100%duncan]

Chelsea's passing!!!!!! Damn it

[quentin_compson]

Diaby sucks :lol


Yeah, big time. Shit, Walcott injured.

[NASpurs]

Arteta is sorely missed in set pieces as well. :depressed

[NASpurs]

Diaby :lmao :lmao

[Venti Quattro]

OMG Arsene what the fuck are you doing. Diaby in a crucial stetch of the game, seriously???

[Venti Quattro]

Det was a good chance for van Persie. He fucking skied it.

[NASpurs]

RvP with a very Ramsey-like shot not on target.

[100%duncan]

Now the keeper's hurt

[NASpurs]

Santos for Gibbs makes me nervous as fuck.

[NASpurs]

Santos for AOC?!!?! WOW!

[NASpurs]

Hopefully Mata doesn't destroy Arsenal.

[Venti Quattro]

Two wasted chances at the Emirates. Arsenal is making third place very hard for themselves.

[100%duncan]

Now Mata gotta come in win this game for us

[Muser]

Come on Mata need me some Dream Team points.

[Venti Quattro]

Mata looks like Andre Villas-Boas

lol and Cashley Cole is coming in

[100%duncan]

RDM wants this game, but too late putting Mata,tbh.

[NASpurs]

[100%duncan]

Almost had a heart attack thought they'd give a penalty

[Venti Quattro]

RvP flopping :lmao

[100%duncan]

Well, at least my boy Drogba got some much needed rest.

[NASpurs]

Of course Ramsey has the ball taken away.

[100%duncan]

:lmao Sturridge=Rudy Gay

[100%duncan]

RvP might as well switch numbers with Ramsey.

Fuck you Diaby

[100%duncan]

Got Damn I feel sorry for Torres.

[100%duncan]

Damn it.

[NASpurs]

So one thing is obvious after this game, Arsenal > Barcelona. :lol

[quentin_compson]

Considering how poor Chelsea were in the final third, this was a very winable game for Arsenal - despite subpar performances from RvP, Rosicky, Ramsey (he was better in the second half, though) and Song (too many boneheaded mistakes today).

[Muser]

Cisse just making the EPL his bitch, per the usual.

And of course, Man U scores the equalizer like 10 minutes later.

[NASpurs]

Does anyone know what type of gum Sir Alex chews? That would make a great trivia question. :lol

[Venti Quattro]

If Everton holds United to a draw and City wins vs Wolves, the race is for all the marbles again...in which case I'm praying for an Everton draw and a City win.

[Venti Quattro]

well Everton fucking blew it :bang

Wow fucking Everton drew. Five minutes of stoppage...

[NASpurs]

Jesus I stopped watching after Man U took a 2-1 lead. :wow :lol

:lmao United

This makes for an interesting match next week. :hungry:

[NASpurs]

So ManU is at 83 points and City is at 77. A win today would take City at 80. Wow, this shit is going down to the wire.

[NASpurs]

Fuck, I'm kicking myself. I wish I wouldn't have stopped watching it and assumed that Utd. was going to run away with the game. :bang

[Venti Quattro]

It would be a redeeming factor (at least) if Manchester United choke and lose the title. Not that I want City to win. I just would like to see United lose.

Liverpool seems to keep on threatening to score any time now. Won't be surprised if it ends 1-1.

[IronMexican]

I have only watched the second half, but they have been threatening the entire second half. WBA have had two opportunities and scored on one.

Liverpool with countless chances and nothing. Suarez doing all he can.

Arsenal's Theo Walcott 'ruled out for rest of the season' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17800108)

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Theo Walcott is likely to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, but should be fit in time for Euro 2012.

The 23-year-old winger hobbled off in clear discomfort after 60 minutes of Arsenal's 0-0 draw against Chelsea.

"It looks like a serious hamstring," said Wenger. "I think now for him it will be tough to come back before the end of the season.

"It is usually 21 days [minimum]. He should be OK to play for England."

Arsenal travel to Stoke next Saturday and host Norwich a week later before finishing the campaign at West Brom on 13 May.

England depart for the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine on 6 June, with their first match against France in Donetsk on 18 June.

Walcott, who has scored 11 goals in 44 appearances this season, is expected to be named in England's squad for the tournament.

"First we assessed the hamstring," Wenger explained. "He wanted to go on and stay on the pitch.

"I think he should have gone off straight away because the second time it was a real hamstring [injury].

"He will have a good rest but I don't think he will be ready to play for us."

England have already lost the services of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, whose ankle injury has seen him miss the entire season.

Gunners midfielder Mikel Arteta will also miss the rest of the campaign after damaging ankle ligaments.

HOLY FUCKING DET SHIT :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang

RvP, it's time for you to drag this team to the Champions League.

[Muser]

Fuck hopefully he is back for the Euro's. To his credit he's been pretty good lately.

[Venti Quattro]

They cancelled the pre-match handshake for the QPR-Chelsea game. :lol

[NASpurs]

Someone clear this up for me, so if Chelsea wins the CL, then that means that next year they're automatically in it. So that means that the top 3 teams of the EPL this year will get into it while the 4th will be out no matter what (and can't compete in the qualifiers) since Chelsea is qualified... of course assuming they win the CL.

[NASpurs]

nvm, ESPN just answered my question. :lol

[NASpurs]

I never really understood all the hate Suarez got for that handball. In basketball it would be like: with only a few seconds remaining, stopping a sure basket with a foul, getting ejected and then the opponent missing his free throws and the game goes to overtime.

And it's not like he went unpunished, he got sent off and conceded a penalty.

The blame is on the one who misses, not on the one who tried his best in order for his team to win. Had Asamoah scored, Suarez handball would have been a footnote in World Cup history.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1058637/arsenal-reach-deal-to-sign-lucas-podolski-from-fc-cologne?cc=5901

Arsenal's long-awaited purchase of Germany striker Lukas Podolski from FC Cologne has been confirmed.

Podolski will join the Gunners in the summer, after reaching an agreement with the club about personal terms and passing a medical. Neither club has announced the transfer fee involved.


"The move to Arsenal provides a great opportunity for me to gain experience in international competitions at a European top club," Podolski said. "I have made this decision not against FC Cologne but for this great opportunity and the good of my own individual development.

[Venti Quattro]

Now we only need Vertonghen and Demps to be staaaaaaaaaaacked. :tu

[NASpurs]

Do you think the d-line is going to stay the same next year seeing as that was really the weak point of Arsenal this year? I hope that d-line is strengthened up at the least seeing as players were dropping like flies and some players were playing out of position for games here and there.

[Venti Quattro]

Koscielny and Vermaelen are fine. Mertesacker was just unlucky in injury (he got injured trying to play defense FFS). Bringing Vertonghen in will strengthen that back line and keep cokeheads like Sagna glued to the bench

Sagna has been one of the most consistent players for Arsenal over the last years - and consistent in a good way, for the most part at least. By the way, Vertonghen is a left back, as far as I know.

City is never going to score with those high crosses from the wings unless the defense f's up. Utd's back line is just too tall. Low crosses, counter attacks, great 1-2 passing and speed are the obvious choices here.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. Those crosses won't help much against Utd. without someone like Balotelli or Dzeko inside.

Edit: ... or someone like Kompany on a set piece.

I was referring to Tevez and Aguero when I said that but here comes 6'3" Kompany with a header :lol

Your point is still valid. Set pieces are a different matter.


Det was a juicy Kompany header.

Yeah, pure desire and determination, like some of those Puyol headers when he scores important goals.

[ALVAREZ6]

Wasn't it Kompany who started the 6 goal slaughtering last time vs. United, also off a corner????

EDIT: No, never mind.
