Arsenal Thread

The handball was shocking, but some of the hate towards Thierry today is well over the top. Like someone else said, its no different to someone diving to win a pen and then that incident winning the game. Rather like Owen did in the 2002 World Cup against Argentina, which ultimately knocked them out. Because it was an English player that did it its swept under the carpet...

Ireland really only have themselves to blame...they had plenty of opportunities to put the game to bed in normal time.
 
I think more worrying was what ArseBlog reported from John Cross of The Mirror:

Next time Arsenal are cheated, no one can complain. This was a big game.

What the fuck does it have to do with Arsenal?

Yeah I read that :LOL:

Just for making a stupid fucking comment like that, he should get fired. Why would you want somebody so retarded working for your paper. His credibility would have shot way down....moron!
 
yes its been blown out of proportion yet again. But it will be forgotten about.

Ireland would still have the rest of extra time and pens to get through, its a game of football and they had 2 legs.

Are they honestly saying Irish players dont dive/haven't cheated the ref?

HOWEVER, i do think FIFA's decision to seed the playoffs was a ridiculous attempt to ensure the big boys are at the tournament to make as much money as possible, and to please the sponsors.
 
We were quite shocking up front. Only ourselves to blame. From 5 points and a game in hand to dropping to 3rd with 8 points gap, that is one massive missed chance to keep up the pace.
 
If we get a result against chelsea then we should be on the right track again. But that is a big if, going to be am extremely difficult game.

Sunderland pretty much had a full strength team that had two weeks rest.

We had two weeks of international games and lost a few players. So people shouldn't read too much into that game.

I just hope we can pull it together for Chelsea game.

Just seen the highlights and although it wasn't up to our best obviously. I don't think Sunderland deserved the win.

We really need to sort out our defending on corners!!

Also I think we should of had a penalty, Vela made the most of it....but I still think it was a pen.

Oh well, back to the drawing board, hopefully we can get a win on tuesday to boost us for the chelsea game.
 
Sunderland got very lucky with that goal, really. That's what we call a pinball goal! But we're still to blame, didn't create enough chances and the few we did, we wasted!

Eduardo has to step up to the plate now! He's been wasting loads of goal opportunities. That was just a preview of how we're gonna look like without RVP up front. Neither Eduardo or Bendtner are as sharp as RVP in front of goal. Hope I'm wrong, but could be hard times to follow.
 
Well done Denilson that`s how you comeback w/ a cracker of a goal from like 40 yards out even though that ball floated like a balloon :LOL: daft keeper.This Ref was off the mark Eboue had a penalty deny even if Eboue known for daft tactics .Then the ref deny Standard L. when Gallas I couldn`t even explain what he did :LOL: Funny bit was when Vermaelen took a shot and knock Arshavin to the ground and they gave us the corner :P I hope we don`t get that ref from Austria anytime soon....
 
I think the worrying thing from the game was that we could have lost had it been a better team. Defence lapses still hamper us.

It's like we get bored or something, and tend to give chances. We need to be more ruthless, row z sometimes with clearances.

Song was very impressive last night. He is becoming one of my fav players, and i doubted his ability when he first came into the team. We better have a DMF capable of covering for him in Jan and the ANC.
 
Song pens a new long term deal:

I think everyone (myself included) doubted his ability when he first came to the club, and that's putting it politely. Arseblog and others used to lay into him week in week out as the butt of many joke about how poor our midfield was becoming. He looked slow, clumsy and didn't appear to have any redeeming qualities whatsoever. Everyone wondered what Wenger was playing at by fielding him, but then I guess that's why he's a £multimillion football manager and we're... not.

I'm happy to chow down on an entire humble pie on this one as he's more than proved himself capable of playing at this level. He's now an integral part of the midfield and I'm a bit worried about what will happen in Jan. Fingers crossed for an early Cameroon exit!
 
yeah SONG is vital in the middle I was very harsh on Song and Denilson calling them puppies among Dogs. Whatever happen to FlaminiWho? If they were puppies now I call them dogs among dogs :COOL:
 
rather it came out now and not in 6 weeks at least it gives Wenger to sort out this problem in the window. We got Arshavin and it worked great for us :BOP:
 
Think it's a ridiculous situation that clubs have to foot the bill for international injuries. Torres' has come back injured 5 times so far, now RVP is out for 4 months. Told you he would only play half a season. And that for some meaningless friendly.
 
In yet another footballers are thick moment - why exactly are Arsenal chipping in crosses, rather than keeping it low and driving it in? Baffling.
 
Official: Were not gonna win SHIT...AGAIN. Wenger will never learn, same shit over and over again. No power, not clinical, no mental strength and his post match interview was a joke. we were well beaten. JOKE!!
 
You would've been absolutely fine if one of your players actually bothered to have a fucking shot on goal instead of trying to walk it into the fucking net.

Jeeze you lot are frustrating.
 
I can't believe how we miss Robin, before his injury we scored in
every match, Premier League, Champións League and Carling Cup.
Now first two matches without him and no goals at Sunderland and against
Chelsea. I hope our Danish dynamite can do it better in the next weeks
if he's back as Eduardo, also Clichy has to stabalize our defence.
But we definitly has to do a massive thing in the winter transfer period.
