Arsenal vs West Brom

Well, here comes another game. I'm already worried about this one, West Brom have been excellent so far this season. And on top of that, Sagna, Podolski, and Walcott are all out with injuries. Here's the team I think Wenger will play:

-------------------SZCZESNY-----------------
JENKINSON--MERTESACKER--VERMAELEN--GIBBS
------ARTETA------CAZORLA-----WILSHERE----
GERVINHO----------GIROUD-------CHAMBERLAIN

Not even gonna bother to make a prediction on the result. However, this might be a good time to play them since they've lost two in a row now. Good thing is we'll have Rosicky back. Hopefully Arshavin is on the bench as well, he could be helpful. And if we're down in the later stages, which seems very probable these days, Wenger better not pull some stupid shit like taking Giroud off for Coquelin.

This might be a game where we can win and go on a decent run, but naaah! 3-1 victory to them. Sorry for being extremely pessimistic.

Totally agree with the line up. I expect a good performance finally! I say 2-0 to us, Giroud with both.

Agree with that lineup, but I actually hope Rosicky starts on the left and Ox on the right with Giroud down the middle. Really love that little mozart.

I do expect us to play well, and think we'll take the lead, really hope we can mature and keep that lead though.

Heart says 2-0 us, head doesn't want to make a prediction.

Well I am not sure how to call this one...

Sad to say but I still think we slung get a win...wether we get a draw or loss remains to be seen.....would like to see a win and everyone above us drop some points....


Fucking pisses me off...here we are arsenal...and worried about the smaller teams of the league....

SZCZESNY
JENKINSON MERTESACKER VERMAELEN GIBBS
ARTETA CAZORLA WILSHERE
GERVINHO GIROUD Arshavin


I expect 3-1 to us. Gervinho, Cazorla and Giroud to score.

So what can we expect from today's game? Well we know the players (via Arteta and Verms) have been doing a bit of research themselves into what's going wrong by looking at their stats and have come to the conclusion that we should be pressing and tackling more (NO SHIT!!)...

Well with them now hopefully prepared for a game properly what I expect today is either a spanking OR we confirm that we well and truly are average(or shit) now by continuing our recent form. Hopefully the former occurs and we can take it from there and put together a decent run of form and start climbing up that table.

With arshavin in for Ox 2nd half and Coq in for rosicky and possibly Gerv in for someone else but in all honestly I'd rather never see Gervinho play for us again, most terrible player I've ever seen start regularly for us. Hopefully we'll havr wrapped up the game by the time we make subs but with this team you just never know... COYG!!

"OR we confirm that we well and truly are average(or shit)" Hahahaha I love your posts man.

Carzola Wilshere
The Ox Giroud Gervinho

subs: Rosicky, Podolski, Ramsay, Squillaci, Coquelin, Corporal, Martinez

I like Rosicky on the bench, he gives this team something different

we are going to win this one

Man, how does Arshavin not even make the bench anymore?

Any decent streams in English? All I can find are foreign ones today.

Glad Arteta made the penalty, but...did Cazorla dive there?

Yes. He absolutely dove. Defender made no contact. I don't know how I feel about that.

What a cheating little Spaniard ! Give it back, I don't want it !

( No contact at all, he jumped and sold it well)

The key was that he didn't throw his hands in the air. That's a dead sign of a dive (when the hands go up).

Dive. We are not going to hear the end of this. I remember when Pires allegedly dived against Portsmouth =|

Not sure what to think either...might as well just take the one goal lead!

And this is why we need decent backup forwards. Giroud's not going to be able to go on like this.

bloody hell been trying to log in for the last half hour!!!


anyway...pftt...another game of hard work..not doing to bad to be fair...

simply put...every team will pull a dive at some point....i make no meal of it any more...

at least it shows in some way he will go for anything for good of the team....

how did we not score ><

gerv!!!!! fuck me man play it early!!!!!! FFS!!!!

How the fuck can we miss that??

Giroud took up a really good position, Gervinho should have cut it back to him a little earlier.
