So miracles do actually happen, someone on the independent panel saw sense and rescinded Gabriels red card from Saturday, Is it now not mitigating evidence that his improper conduct charge should be scrapped as well seeing as the red card being rescinded proves he was right and correct in complaining and protesting his innocence..? This is the FA though so expect him to still get a ban me thinks.
As for Dean how can the red card be overturned yet the FA play carry Mike your a top ref when it’s plainly evident the bloke is a complete imbecile and totally and utterly incompetent along with his linesmen who missed Costa smacking Koscielny round the head neck and face on several occasions as well as a late tackle on Ox that seems to of been forgotten as well. What about now the FA have another look at Dean’s performance or lack of rather and ban the bloke for several weeks to show the world that they really are looking to improve the level of decisions in the premier league… No I don’t think they will either and doesn’t that just also highlight how inept they are.
As good as it is that the red card has been overturned the fact that Dean stuffed up in the first place means we were down to ten men and not them and they won and got the 3pts and we got shafted yet again……….. So for retro action taken it doesn’t change the result as the damage is done and we have suffered.
As for tonight we are playing that lot down the raos you know that shower of dung from Middlesex, no not Enfield………!
I hope the manager doesn’t mess around to much with the side and that we go out get stuck in and play them off the park…. It’s a huge game for the fans and I hope the players realise that and we know how that lot like to celebrate any kind of win over us so lets make sure that doesn’t happen.
A strong line up please Arsene and make sure the players are told this one matters big time, no going throught the motions like last Wednesday night……..!
Now lets shut the swampies up and knock them out on their own manor….! FOYS…………
This is what football is about, good old North London Derby’s but if you are missing the transfer rumours, check out www.transferrumours.co.uk ……
New post up
Yeah, especially as we’re all 6′ 3″….
Triplets if Adam gets his dreadlocks sorted out…..
With my perm, we’d look like twins…
I’m quite looking forward to seeing Lee, with his shoulder length blond flowing hair, in a Jimmy Bullard…
Am sure the middlesex swamp dwellers get rather confused when visiting our place, they have never seen such luxuries…!
Spot on Adam, media frenzy as usual over a few bits of cardboard getting ripped down yet no mention what so ever of the yearly ritual of redecorating out toilets after they have visited… Best way it as you say take the toilets out before they visit and then they left with a hole in the ground which is still far to good for that lot….!
Knuckle dragging, fried chicken eating, ESN fucktards!
Odd that, so much coverage is being given to a few fans ripping down a bit of cardboard at the shithole when their fans did a regular £20 grands worth of damages to the toilets at Highbury every year and they destroy everything they see at the Emirates too. They probably don’t understand what a toilet is though as they mostly have a hole dug in the ground behind their caravans.
Ripping the hoardings down at shite hart lane….. very thoughtful of those Gooners, I mean helping with the demolition of that khazi for free!
Adam, that’s one way to spoil a good drop 🙂 🙂
Lee, your 9.46 is pure quality lol
Very fetching you say Lee… Yeh fetch the scissors…!
I’m contemplating having a perm, mirroring Adam’s new fangled hair do. Do you think he’ll mind? That Kevin Keegan look is very fetching…..
Either that Lee or a perm…
Adam, those pots were a triumph mate…
You mean a bigger quiff Kev?
I’m actually thinking of having a quiff…
It was an awkward conversation between Tottenham and their DVD supplier at 9.00am this morning…..
Scott. True. We thought of you with every sip. 🙂
Followed up with Christian’s finest of course and some chocolate truffles. 🙂
Adam, you’ve seen the light…Aussie all the way 🙂
Lee, we have a new striker……Flamini lol
Brudder. It was a roast chicken with potatoes boulangere and broccoli all washed down with a very decent Australian Chardonnay. You would have been more than welcome.
Listening to Hartson try to defend the thug that is Costa was sad to hear… he is normally quite neutral and reasonable in his views…
Then again he is entitled to see things from Chelsea’s point of view so….
Who Kev?
Brudder what culinary delight did you treat our favourite black cab driver to?
Morning all,
I feel sorry for OG12. He got no service bar the one he fluffed his lines but gets slated…
I am loving the Brenda situation… the bin-dippers are in disarray; that is for getting a number 2 as a manager for the self-dubbed biggest club in England.
Brenda can talk about philosophy and history as long as he wants; when his number is called he will be history like all the recent managers.
Is Steve MccLaren a manager. getting beaten by ShefF Wed B-team must hurt…
Lovely hair though.
Be nice if we had another proper striker to rotate him with….
Morning all.
Job done.
Giroud needs a break away from the game.
His head is nowhere near football at present.
Good morning all,
Am happy for the boys they got the job done….that’s what I call White Harties Job. Congratulations!
I think we shouldn’t be worried much about some players being rusty….that’s what you get when you have depth in some positions in the team…what is good is that at l they get the business done.
I still feel we need to discuss the penalties imposed by FA…I think there is no logic in what the FA is doing really. It’s just an embarrassment!
Ok, they ban the idiotic Costa for 3 matches, rescinded the red for the Great Gabbie….then what?
Obviously Chelsea won’t bother as long as they have the three points. It seems to me that Costa’s actions were planned by his manager that’s why he called him man of the match.
They got the 3 points which matter at the end of the day in a game that they could have got only a point if they were lucky. Gunners NOTHING when they trained and planned so much to outwit there nemesis….
My suggestions to FA, Chelsea has to be deducted points as well so that teams should not use these stupid tactics.
This way we will see a fair game and teams will not play dirty because they know they will lose points which matter alot and not the services of some struggling little bastard in the name of Costa.
Teams like Chelsea have a lot of options up front and hence losing Costa is nothing to them.
My suggestion to the football fans across the globe, we need to start a petition based on this point to be circulated among all clubs and not forgetting to include the actions of Dean , to ask the football governing bodies to seriously deal with such matters. ( we can refine the idea)
That way we as supporters will enjoy our beautiful game.
Have a beautiful day all…
Had a very enjoyable evening being fed and watered at Adams abode.
Always memorable…
As for the game, Flamini showed that he does have something to offer, even at his age, he still got up and down the pitch.
Good for him…
Arteta and Debuchy worried me, they were so off the pace that I was worried that we’d have another player sent off…
Thankfully both improved in the 2nd 45…
Campbell had a decent 1st half, but faded in the 2nd, to be replaced by Alexis, who caused the Scum all kinds of trouble and should have scored.
BFG, Gibbs and Chambers all did well and how safe was Ospina? He ain’t gonna be at Arsenal next season, he’s too good to be a reserve…
Ramsey had a mixed evening, he really needs a goal.
AOC had a very good game, although a cooler head in some situations would help as his final ball after usually good approach work, was frustrating…
Walcott came on and should have scored.
And Giroud looked to me as if he was sulking. FFS, if you can’t get up for this game then you ain’t got a future at Arsenal.
He has been on the end of some hurtful criticism, some of it unfair, some of it not so much..,
Well that’s when you show what you’re made of…
Up till now, he hasn’t exactly silenced his critics imo…
FM=MF
FM was at the right place at the right time. Per was the MOM for me. He kept the defense very tight and organized.
Scott. FM goals especially the first, was credit to the OX because his shot was perfectly taken, which the goalie couldn’t handle. FM was in a perfect position to banned it in.
And true be told, most thought, including myself, he could be sent off after his first yellow card. Besides the goals, which were very important btw, I didn’t see that many tackles or killer passes that were jaws dropping.
Flamini actualy one of the nly players that really knows what it means to beat the swampies…. Love how he just stood there in front of the paxton after scoring the first just to annoy those sheenies…! piss funny
I wonder if Micko enjoyed himself, Wonder if he got a momento from the ground…? lol
If football was played on paper Scott the yids would win things when the year ends in 1 apparently…..!
Thought we played on although very average at times yet shows how two bob they are…!
We have players who looked rusty but also positional choices were very poor from Debuchy who I expect more from. Thankfully he had a better half than the first but what was Giroud doing… he stank the place out and looked about as interested as a wet kipper…! Thought Chambers had a good game and wonder why no shout from the keeper for the og…? Great goals from Flamster and to follow up the Ox shot was good and the 2nd was a peach of a volley.
Midfield worried me big time before the game and Arteta looked shagged in the 1st half thankfully he also improved in the 2nd half.
Beating that lot is always just about the result but think highlights the fact players need games to be sharp and not just thrown in here and there for the odd game.
Hunger is a wonderful motivator, Andrew, no question.
Good on him….he got the job done.
Flamini interview afterwards was interesting! Credit to him, he was champing at the bit to play and prove a point to the critics.
Flamini showed our boys how goals come about, by the way.
He chased in a shot from distance and picked up the scraps, then he hit one first time.
How many if our guys would not have followed in?
How many would not have hit the volley?
Well I for one am glad football is played in the pitch and not on paper, because reading the comments before hand, we were no chance…Arteta AND Flamini playing 🙂
Hats off to Wenger and the boys because they were up for it, and got the result.
How do Spuds fans cope with losing to us for starters, losing to us with their near full strength line up compared to our very weakened one, losing 2-1 to a Flamini double, and losing 2-1 with us banging in all 3????
They’re going to be mentally scarred for decades over this one lol
That was Flamini’s first brace of goals 🙂
Phhhwwwooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr what a goal
http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/mathieu-flamini-scores-a-wonder-volley-for-arsenal-v-tottenham-video/
Night Rico
Thought bfg played well
Flamini is like a new signing
Good night Rico.
wopppeeeeeeeeeeeee
You know you are shit when Flamini scores twice against you.
FOYS
in your face shit creeks.
Night Rico. Draw next, One of Manchester’s away?
Awesome from the flamo!
Flamini, I still love you….. ??
Night all
Credit to Debuchy, Arteta and Flamini, nothing rash. And our strikers could learn a bit from Flams two tonight.
Flamoney upfront from on. He knows where the goal post is. 🙂
that should be it Rico…..for the match report TITLE tomorrow……
you know you are shit when Flamini scores twice against you
HRD, it was actually great technique! Right into corner. I was shouting shoot as ball was landing but expected it in row 15.
That’s it gotta b flammers upfront haha screamer who needs benzema
Flamini again.
As Mordechai and Rigby would say……IN your face!!!!!!
you know you are shit when Flamini scores twice against you
Thought he was only here to keep Ozil company!
Give flamini a new contract
What a goal! Go on the flam!!!
Fucking hell flamini lol
I admit, I was wrong.
We have a new attacking midfielder! Like a new signing.
The obligatory 67th minute substitution.
I do not blame Chambers for the own goal, even though it was his 2nd in two games played. both of them were unlucky.
He will learn from them.
They are battering us
Why the fuck does he not make a change
The Spurs back line hasn’t a worry in the world…
Our fearless leader has marital problems to think about. He can’t do everything, buy players, put sub’s on. Great him a break, he’s only just got his zippers sorted.
Let’s see how our fearless leader reacts.
Debuchy is a liability
Guess it was
Like I said Lewis….
Worried about these yellow cards here, could monreal replace flamini or Arteta and Bellerin for debuchy, Campbell doing really well..
Howdy all! Dire first half! Was hoping to see JRA n Iwobi play! So pedestrian for half hour!!
Ballerin and Ozil will do it for me.
Hi Rico and All.
Lewis, we can only make two changes right now. Debuchy and Flamoney are rusty. Even Arteta but he can keep a cool head as compare to the other two.
Double dose Lewis…. 😉
And arteta NG
And Flamini Ng, but oh, there’s no-one….
The kiss of death bit Rico?! ?
A smart move would be replace MF and Debuchy.
Agree re Chambers Lewis..
Chambers has been decent as well. Hope that’s not the kiss of death
yellows and reds prove only one thing…..we are back to being no pushovers and the FA know about it. so the only way to weaken us is to send our players off.
http://arsenalist.com/f/2015-16/tottenham-vs-arsenal-league-cup/goal-mathieu-flaimini-0-1-all-the-angles-english-commentary.html
Bellerin on the bench?
Should be two.
Flamini and arteta both on yellows
Flamini and arteta on yellows. Gulp.
Does anyone in our team know how to attack a corner?!!!
Campbell is clearly out to prove a point…. Good man.
Debuchy is a worry
Flamini?? Ha!!!!!
As Rigby and Mordechai say…..”In your face”
Been impressed by Campbell’s work rate.
Great run by Flamini. Anticipating there might be a follow up. We get so few goals like that.
Ha, flamini
Get the fuck in there!!
Cambell has had his first attempt.
Pity he is short side. 3 more inches and his header would have been more precise.
Oooooo
Wakey wakey rambo
lol.
Campbell to score 6 goals in 10 minutes to make Arsenal fans forget about signing Lewandowski and for AW to claim he is like a new signing
Flamini will get sent off
Coyrrgs!!
Well written Wath totally agree. I think photos of Dean in the back of the Scummy net may help.
Coyg
For a momment I thought you were referring to my comment about Ramsey, Dev.
I wouldn’t of binned you for anything said about that lot Dev lol 🙂
🙂 I could think of a few too Wath/Devil…
I can think of more expletives Rico and Wath. but that is the only one I could write without being binned. lol
Its has several meanings Rico…. a few I can’t write on here lol Dev got it pretty much spot on…!
Feck off you sc*m
Arteta and Flamini…..
Only Arsenal would do that… Lord help us.
Evening guys…
Nice one Wath but what does FOYS mean? ?
Yids are slow yet we even slower………. beggars belief yet again from our esteemed manager…!
What is Ramsey doing there? Why not Iwobi?
My mates tortoise is quicker than our midfield…………………
That midfield. Gulp.
Good Afternoon Lovelies and Hunkies.
Seems as if this morning I got all the line up right……
Arsenal starting XI: Ospina, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Campbell, Giroud.
Subs: Macey, Bellerin, Monreal, Ozil, Iwobi, Alexis, Walcott.
Evening Wath and all
I hope we put our best 11out
Don’t want to loose to the scum
You probably right Wath.. 😛
hole*
Bit harsh that Ts when the lad has played like 20mins there for us…! I thin he’d do a job there.
Lets not even discuss Lewandowski Lee, did we dangle a carrot or a shit load of cash for him… of course we didn’t, we inquired and probably intimated we’d be prepared to pay 30million and a quid obviously.
Wath I rather AW played Kamara in the whole than Chambers; Chambers is shite in midfield imho…
Flamini and Arteta shouldn’t be anywhere near this team….
So Lewandoski scored more goals in 9 minutes than Arsenal have all season (not counting own goals that is)……proper striker not poking his tongue out every 15 seconds, fiddling with his Barnet or missing sitters! Although I’d still keep him as a plan b.
Ts, if it was 2 seasons ago MA08 may have the legs but for tonight I worry about him BUT i bet Arsene plays him…! How about Chambers behind AR16 and MA08..?
A partnership of AR16 and MA08 will be like the good old days…
AR16 has his best games playing through middle next to MA08 who compliment each other….
heard Micko boarded his fave airline Aeroflot instead of Aer lingus… 😉
Tell me what time you’d like the posts put up Kev and I’ll make sure they are never on time……….. 🙂
Am sure Micko will make his way down to the shit hole as late as possible so as not to catch any dreaded disease on the way..!
Good post Wath btw…
Everything comes to those that wait…
And wait and wait and wait and wait…. 🙂
No doubt Micko is picking himself through the wreckage and rubble of Tottenham High Road, looking for a kebab shop that sells a superbug free sheish…
Good luck to him, it must be like visiting downtown Damascus
Saucy.
Yeh Adam, Rosicky out till late Oct apparently…! Hurt his back carrying Arsene’s wallet around
Whatever happened to Rosicky? Is he injured?
Liking the idea…. I think he will tinker tonight… I really think he’ll play Sanchez though as he came back late and hasn’t scored yet…. Joel should play deserves a chance… Arteta is a cert if couq is to be out longer then expected and surely playing Ramsey in his preferred position would be beneficial? Gabriel to come back in before he is banned for 1 match which will be against the foxes this weekend… Debuchy is likely to play now Bellerin is first choice… please play Cech I can’t cope with Ospina… he won’t win big games like this plus does Cech really need a rest? I don’t think so
We are safe at the bak wen Berellin is around
Andrew, it’s unfortunate that I cannot put down what I would love to write about Dean…………
A twat of gigantic proportions who loves to stiitch us up in that obnoxious manner or his… Enough said..!
I’d def play Gibbs in front of Monrela Dev, the left hand side is very solid and quick and Gibbs does put in a good cross but he won’t then get exposed like he does when he plays at fullback. The question is who to play in front of Bellerin… Ox or Joel…?
Good words Wath, bet you enjoyed putting those about Dean into print!
Gibbs in front of Monreal would be great. I misunderstood your first post when you explained it. Thought it was Gibbs over Monreal plus Bellerin.
Yes that is quite a strong LHS
you are right Wath. Chambers is a good move as a DM as well. Since Cazorla and Coqelin are not playing we have to take into consideration that Ozil, Alexis and Aaron do need a rest. JW is not available and neither DW. So that leaves Flamini and Arteta there.
Otherwise, players will be burnt out.
I believe he is. His first game of the season..
Dev, we won’t be explosed with Gibbs in front of Monreal…!!! I never said Gibbs n Bels both at fullback..!
Flamster and Arteta central midfield, well get over walked… not over run cos players won’t have to run to go past them…!
Good Afternoon Lovelies and hunkies.
Nice post….one that I really enjoy reading. Especially as there is no mention of AW in the same way other blogs/articles do. make no mistake….he was not to blame for last Saturday.
Wath….i would not play Bellering and Gibbs in the same team without Coquelin in DM. It would leave us exposed big time.
I would play Debuchy, Per, Gabriel, Gibbs at the back, and Flamini and Arteta in the CDM with Aaron as the AM/F behind Ollie. Iwobi and OX on the wings
Ospina as Keeper obviously.
Coquelin is defo out. Cazorla as well. I would rest Ozil, Theo and Alexis. maybe later on in the game but if we do really need them.
Not sure he’ll risk Beilik in the mix tonight Scott, that’s a bit to much to soon while the kid still learning. It’s why I said Chambers in front of BFG and Gabbi…! Gibbs would get forward and hurt them down our left and put in some decent service for Giroud..!
Stan….who is that?
Silent.
Invisible.
He’s a myth.
Silentstan, quite frankly couldn’t really care less…! Thanx anyway..!
Wath, Gibbs and Monreal give us a hell of strong LHS.
Great move.
The Polish kid at DM, maybe??
I still say Kozzer would be a ripper there 🙂
I’d be tempted to play Gibbs in front of Monreal…. Play Bellerin and BFG with Gabriel, Chambers central midfield anyone…?
Most of my mates couldn’t get tkts… seems like the tourists are even getting in on the away tkt’s…!
It’s not exactly scenic place to visit is it…!
Morning all.
Usually I wouldn’t care how many kids he played, but this time, a win is a must….just to boost morale.
Is he going Ts..?
Micko better bring some good luck to the team… 😉
