Morning all.
Unconfirmed reports or should I say wicked rumours are going round suggesting that Aaron Ramsey has suffered a thigh strain and is set to have a scan today. Don’t shoot the messenger if this is wrong, I have only just seen the story which of course could be pure fabrication. Hopefully it is just that…
Nicklas Bendtner is on the verge of playing for Arsenal again and Arsene has sent out the right message to him. One to give him a boost ahead of tonight no doubt:
He has responded with a good attitude in training and with good, hard work. He had nearly gone somewhere else and in the end he stayed because it didn’t work out and we needed him here.
Now he can convince everybody. We are open minded, we believe in his qualities.
I personally believe in his qualities. It’s just down to attitude and fighting spirit. When he has that, Nicklas can be an unstoppable striker. He gets his chance. Our job is about that. Take your chance.
I see him as a centre-forward. He can use his body back to goal. He’s an intelligent player, he can play intelligent passes and protect.
He’s a similar type, size-wise, to Olivier Giroud. The central role is perfect for him.
I had a chuckle over those comments. I’m not 100% sure Arsene believes in his qualities otherwise Bendtner would not have been absent so long but he’s certainly got an attitude. Tonight though his attitude has to be right and I hope the the travelling fans get behind him…
Anyway, here’s Kev’s views on tonight:
So then, it’s here again. The good old League Cup and doesn’t time fly?
After the disappointment of last season and the debacle of a strong Arsenal XI being humiliated at Bradford, I suspect that Arsene Wenger may well return to his tried and tested policy in this competition. That is selecting a mixture of ‘Young Pretenders’ allied to a core of experienced players, either on the fringe of the first team or returning from injury…
That Wenger policy has, since 1996-97, seen a ‘shadow’ Arsenal team reach two League Cup Finals and four other Semi-Finals in 17 seasons… Not on the face of it a rip-roaring success, trophy wise but as a vehicle for blooding new players and giving our youngsters invaluable experience, it has been priceless…
Making up an experienced core and fitness permitting, I expect to see Arteta, Monreal, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Bendtner and I had hoped Rosicky but he’s another week away from a return.
In goal Arsene may decide to give Fabianski a game, to keep him sharp or just maybe he’ll give Viviano his senior debut?
Supplementing the experienced pros would be senior reserves like Frimpong (if fit), Eisfeld, Park (remember him?), Miyaichi, Gnabry and Sanogo (if fit)…
That squad is already looking quite strong, and without including one player from the starting XI which faced Stoke RFU last Sunday…
Finally, and most important, in my view, will be those young players who are unknown to many, but who, by the end of the season could be as well known as Wilshere. Players like Akpom, Hayden, Olsson, Bellerin, new boy Ajayi, goalkeeper Iliev and maybe even Ormonde-Ottewill, all of whom have been involved at some time, in training sessions with the first team…
Arsene still has the leeway to put a couple more seniors on the bench as insurance if he feels the need but I personally believe that the above squad should be strong enough to progress past West Brom…
Arteta and Frimpong should be strong enough to deal with West Brom’s midfield and with Gnabry and Miyaichi on the flanks, that looks to me quite a potent midfield.
Jenkinson, Vermaelen and Monreal and one of either Merts/Kos/Hayden, in front of Fabianski or Viviano, seems quite a strong defence…
Bendtner will have an opportunity to show how hard he’s been working recently, he could have anyone of three as a partner, Park, Sanogo (if fit) or maybe even Eisfeld…
The permutations are endless.
What do you all think?
Written by BrainwashedKev.
Excellent stuff, Brainwashed K.
Annoyingly the game is not being shown on TV because they are showing some downbeat, lowgrade teams in the NW of England.
I would just love to see how B52, if he plays, gets on with his ‘new’ teammates and whether he can be yet another ‘new’, old player who can do a flamini for us.
Great post Kev. Words from a man who knows his youth stuff..
Is Frimps fit, he’s been on the bench a few times and there’s nothing on afc.com to say he’s injured. Well not that I could find any way..
I hope Merts starts alongside TV, we need his leadership and someone needs to keep TV in check..
Good morning all,
And another good un from Kev or is it still Brainwashedkev? 😛
Can Scott confirm if he is actually suffering from the rumoured thigh strain? 🙂
I am pleased to see Park given another chance… he was never a bad player. In fact he is a very good player but maybe not an out and out striker that we needed then or need now in the 4-5-1 or whatever we individually prefer to call it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started with Ryo starting on the bench.
I heard Frimps missed OM because of a ‘Santos like’ run in with the Hertfordshire ‘coppers’ on his way to training.
I still think Hayden will start next to Arteta if flamini is given a break as he will be more mobile than the options available.
I wouldn’t necessarily like AW to start with both Arteta and Flamini as the pivot unless AW is going all out with a 4-2-4 set-up.
I believe Eisfield needs a chance… he is the closest to La Mozart in the squad but maybe not as fit…
Olsson may have to just contend with training with the squad at the moment even though technically he is very good…. interesting he is captain of the u-21’s in the absence of Nico.
Morning Rico.
The rumoured injury to Rambo, reported by Brainwashed when added to the injury to Theo shows how easy it is for a thin squad to be even further depleted.
Perez the Real president allegedly said that Ozil’s dad approached Arsenal about his transfer, which makes you wonder how much ‘looking for quality players’ was being done by Arsenal.
Still he is ours now however it came about.
Hb, I’m really disappointed that the game is not shown on tv too, had hoped to watch some of it.
I don’t have high hopes of Nik, but seriously willing to be proved wrong..
That was me spreading the gossip Hb 😉
The squad is very thin in certain places, up front and defence being two – if Ramsey has suffered a thigh strain, he shouldn’t be out too long but at least Arteta is back.
We seem to have a glut of midfielders….
Re Ozil, I honestly don’t believe he was in the clubs plans but that’s understandable as who’d have believed Real would sell him? If Ozil’s father did contact AW, at least it was followed up and we weren’t pipped by another club which has all too often happened in the past…
HenryB, if Mustafa actually approached AFC, which I think is not true based on what I heard prior to Ozil joining us, then it may be due to AW maintaining a form of clear line of communication with Ozil’s reps after we failed with a bid for his son prior to Ozil joining RM…
Contrary to what was reported with rumours with us talking to Valencia about Guita (spelling) I heard it was a diversion to be in Spain to talk to RM about Di Maria and possibly Benzema…
On the other hand, there is a strong likelihood we turned down the opportunity to sign Benzema with RM going for Suarez last minute…
Whose your sauce Ts, Daddies? 😉
I think B-something has grown up after having his child… I doubt any manager has had issues with him… in fact Conte, Bruce and AW have all said similar things about Bendtner in the last few months i.e he is not what fans think he is…
I have always believed in Bendtner ( he was for a long time considered the next Laudrup and one of the major cogs behind a small nation like Denmark qualifying for major tournaments) at least until that suicidal touch in Nou Camp and his subsequent falling out with AW when RVP was started ahead of him in the CL final that we lost… The situation I guess was similar to Pires falling out with AW after the 2006 CL final in Paris after Mad Jens was sent off…
I hope B-23 gives us that physical presence upfront for Gnabry and Ryo/Eisfield to join him in attack tonight…
If we are winning by a 2 goal margin then Akpom and Park can be given an opportunity in the last 10 or 15 minutes too.
Hiya Rico, Brown sauce/source from Glasgow Argyle street. lol
That is it all but confirmed…
Raphael Honigstein @honigstein 20h
Lewandowski transfer to Bayern (summer 2014) will be officially announced on January 2, according to Pilka Nozna
I thought so Ts, just why I take it with a pinch of salt…
Where is everyone today, Oz, Dev, Cg and the regulars…
I hope its not the calm before the storm IF we should lose tonight…
At any cost we do not want a replay or is it going to be extra time like Reading and Bradford last season…
I am sure someone more informed will advice soon…
Any news on Esp and Syg recently… Ozil arriving has not even been enough to draw them here… I hope they are ok?
Things have certainly gone quiet here…
I’ll soon be able to shut down and have a 2 week holiday – no-one will notice 🙂
Alex IWOBI gets his first senior call up…
Its a strange one… Meade would have feature if he was still at AFC… but he is 3rd or 4th choice lB at swansea… same as he would have been with us.
😀 I am sure its to do with the winning streak we are going through Rico… nothing to moan about if Ramsey, OG12 are playing well…
we will go through a minor dip in form soon and they will all come flooding in…
Not quite the same but as the saying goes… without wars and turmoil the rich do not make money from the poor…
hey y’all what’s happening then other than the unstoppable bendtner – unstoppable Bendtner hahahahahahhaha Like when was this exactly, no wonder he has such a big head
Morning Rico and all. I would notice Rico. 🙂
me too Adam, how you going mate?
You trying to imply that people here prefer to moan and for us to lose Ts? If so I think that suggestion it’s quite daft. I only ever want Arsenal to win and I know most others here want likewise…
Not bad Oz. After a frantic few days writing, I have a couple of days off to make a general nuisance of myself and buy a lot of stuff I don’t need. How about you?
I can’t get worked up for this cup really.
Morning Adam and Oz..
Darn, I just pressed ‘confirm booking’ 😉
I like it when we win Rico. Then I can moan about it. Like I did yesterday.

I did that too Rico. Seems Mrs Adam and myself are off to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks. But, I can still moan from there.
West Broms assistant manager is a plank, he says the pressure is all on us tonight as we haven’t won a trophy for many years…
Bloody heck, when did his side last win one??
🙂 Adam…
Kev got it pretty much spot on then with the younger players included in the squad…
Very nice Adam – stay away from those funny cakes 😉
Ooh, what fantastic psychology from him. He must have studied at the Jose Mourinho School of the inane comment. He’ll be saying we’ll park the bus next.
Oh I don’t know Rico. It might give me a sunnier disposition. Walking around Amsterdam stoned out of my mind. I might even get my face ironed like John Henry.
Don’t forget he could now add ‘Arsenal rely on set-pieces’ Adam…
You have a point there Adam.
Isn’t their manager Steve Clarke, a man with a face like a slapped arse?
That’s him, he’s obviously still in bed so sent his assistant to face the media..
Hello Rico, tsgh, emma – have bad vibes on tonight to be honest and its a cup we have a chance at but fingers crossed and hopefully WBA will go with a light team as well. Rico, if you put the two names on paper and our recent baron run of trophies, I think he has a point no? WBA are not expected to win anything, mind you neither are we anymore 🙂
Sky Sports are now running the Lewandowski to Bayern deal to be done in January – bet Wenger is gutted 😉
Never quite understood the Park thing. technically a very good player and has often delivered on the world stage at International level but never got a look in really did he?
Yes Oz, but you’d think he’d come up with something a little more interesting ahead of his sides cup match…
Very true about the expectations, I think a few fans think we can win something this season though 😉
be a few changes in Jan, Rico. Suarez, Rooney, Benzema, Falcao, Ba, Dzeko all could be looking for new homes. Never know
Hi there Oz….
You are right, there is something ‘niggly’ about tonite’s game…
I hope we win… The WBA boss wants a new contract and we all know there is nothing better for negotiating a pay rise than beating poor old Arsenal… lol
Shirts and Asian following Oz, that’s about it imho..
I reckon so too Oz, not sure about Dzeko, isn’t he getting a good run in the side and scoring goals?
Bendtner is the 2nd top scorer at the club and has quite a bit of assists for Arsenal (26) too
tsgh – trouble is confidence can disappear quickly and any kind of loss breaks the mind set somewhat, so i hope also we can come away with the next round booked. It’s a tough league again this year despite Arsene’s claims Spurs brought to many players they are looking very solid, City and Chelsea will be there and its down to the ferguson factor for United. I don’t expect them to win it this season, they won’t get the 12 ref points Ferguson gets them each season and they need those to stay there IMO.
oz – Quietly confident we will win tonight
hope so emma, so what’s the score then? 🙂
tsgh 11.26 you wind up merchant you 🙂
😀 haha… Oz
Hope so Emma; it will be great to keep the run going for now…
oz – 3-0 Samurai Bendtner with 2 goals and Gnabry 😉
Eisfield will score if he starts and stays on past 60 minutes… and Serge as you mentioned earlier Emma 😉
I can smell a TV goal actually… lol
Emma what do you think of Costa from Athletico… he is on fire this season thus far. 7 goals in 6 games…
I didn’t realise Benteke is out injured and has been ruled out until November…
I am sure he will be back earlier enough for January move… 😉
Diego Costa is a beast. Scored twice yesterday again. His off the ball and on the ball movement is great. But his wild xter gives room for concern. Other than that a very good striker
…. being more than a decent player at international does not indeed guarantee success as a manager… Gattuso has been allegedly sacked by Parlemo after just 3 months… 😮
The dippers were after him as replacement for Suarez after our X plus £1 offer. lol
I am in Scotland so no proper football for me this week… lol
Only you could come out with that stat Ts.
Heard he turned down the dippers and signed a new deal with Atletico Madrid
time flies hey? Seems like five minutes ago we (or most) people were slinging off at the ‘world class according to Wenger school’ pupil and so wanted him gone. Now here we are with people hoping he scores for the same club after finding not a single club anywhere were prepared to take him off our hands. Wonder if this will turn into another one of those Wenger planned this all along stories 🙂
I have a sneaky feeling that Olsson will play the No 10 role ahead of Eisfeld
When you guys say ‘heard’ do you mean ‘read’??
Just asking…
Eisfeld/Ryo might anchor the right side, Gnabry on the left or vice versa.
Do you get to watch many of the youth games emma?
rico – ‘heard’ >> I meant a friend told me
i hope the new keeper gets a run tonight
rico – If it’s shown yes. Last one I watched was the U19 v Marseille in the youth CL last week
sad living in Australia, i know so little about some of these names
Afternnon all,
I think we’ll have a pretty decent defence, Arteta in the middle. So it’ll be solid keeping the ball out our net. Depends on the rest to score the goals.
Thanks emma, just wondered where fans watch them as the official site doesn’t show the games in full..
yeah Jenks, Sag, Verm, Mon with Arteta in front?
What’s the chances of the new defender starting?
Hi Bradster – I reckon Merts will start alongside TV.. We’ll need him too imho..
we never get anything like that here Rico – shame, love to watch the kids. See the odd vid on line but never get to watch a full hit out
🙂 Rico… you do and love stats too, don’t lie. lol
I doubt Olsson will start but you never know. …. especially at no.10… he is a deep lying playmaker (traditional no.6). Against WBA u-21 a few weeks back, Eisfield played no.10 with Olsson and Frimps sitting..
I am sure Zelalem would have played no.10 if he was fit…
I thought Eisfield looked a bit uncomfortable in that role… he was dropping too deep especially in the 2nd half.
I am guessing Eisfield will play deeper next to Arteta or on the RHS with Serge playing behind B-something.
If I was in-charge I would start Bellerin on the RHS with CJ25 at RB. WBA are quite strong on the wings…
Flamini and Arteta should provide enough defensive covers. It’s left for the kids and samurai bendtner to bang in the goals
any team news from them tsgh?
ts – Arsene confirmed last night on arsenal player that Bellerin is a modern day right back but needs to work on his defensive side of the game. You may be right about him played on the right wing
You might be able to watch on a stream Oz, not the same i know but…
Thankfully most sane people know different Ts 😉
yeah tried a few times Rico, the lag does my head in
we have our big football grand final this weekend – do you guys get to see that at all?
They do my head in too, Dutch usually posts a few good links though, we’ll have to ask him about the reserve games..
I have seen Bellerin play in the flesh a couple of times at least and for Spain u-19’s on TV and he is much better than CJ25 imho… what CJ25 has is that sheer British bulldog spirit.
Hayden, strangely enough is being ‘loved’ or discussed by a few people on other sites but what is not being mentioned is his temperament… He lots his temper a few weeks back and got red carded for a professional foul…
(Players like Sidwell and even Frimpong never got red carded for such issues…)
From what I have seen of Hayden, he is very good i.e prospect but I strongly believe he has been fast tracked because of Nico Yennari’s injury and Frimps ailment recently. He set up Gnabry’s goal against u-21 with a Song-like lob, but he left Boateng and Ayaji to do all the defensive work even though he was a CB that evening…
Tactically, he looked very inferior or suspect compared to Ayaji but going forward he is very good… this makes me wonder what our youth coaches do with the boys on the field?
The boys who come through from Hale End mostly have the technical ability but are found wanting tactically and physical as commented by C rewe’s manager on Aneke…
Oz- news on who?
Hi Brad, didn’t spot you earlier… how’s the motherland?
No oz…
thanks Rico – didn’t think so
tsgh wondered what sort of team WBA would go with is all
https://twitter.com/FFArsenal/statuses/367802574952361984
Another interesting point… Frimp said last year he chose no.26 to prove a point to Bendtner as B-something held the belief that that number was jinxed… lol
Well, it seems the samurai was right after all… lol
I’m hoping they play their reserves Oz 😉
Oz- watch out for England u-21 star Saido Berahini (spelling)
WBA have injuries too and according to Rico’s fave site goal.com ‘Chris Brunt (groin), Ben Foster (foot) and Shane Long (hamstring) will all be missing for Albion, while Steven Reid (knock). Matej Vydra (hamstring) and George Thorne (knee) are doubtful for the clash.’ lol
Long is fit Ts.
Ok, Rico… O knew I couldn’t get away with quoting goal.com.lol
wow lot of quality missing as well – that’s good news then
Off for a while now, back later this afternoon…
bye Rico
I spent some of the afternoon tracking Henry USA clips – I do believe i am getting old 🙂
Morning all,
Took a little break but enjoyed the Arsenal weekend though, aren’t we looking dangerous and unpredictably winning our games and fans are relaxed. Long may it come.
Anyways I could but help to think that I correctly predicted Di Canio’s sacking, what was he thinking and i heard the players revolted as well.
I think he has damaged his carrier by facing up with the fans, what was Sunderland thinking in the first place giving him the coaching job. He is a Bigot, Fascist and definitely did not apologise about any of that.
I enjoyed how our stoke game and how Flamini is showing how to win a game in the last 10minutes .
Flamini is the man , imagine if the Verminator start doing that and Wishire starts as well, we will be causing fear all around.
Hi ts, nice and hot the last couple of days. Got my summer tan on already.
I would prefer Ollson next to Arteta with Eisfeld in the number 10 role. Ryo and Gnarby on the wings with Bentner up front will pretty much be the same set up we use currently and everyone will know their roles.
“do that again and I’ll blind you” just something very cool about that hahah
https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/382838142748721154
Brad, I thought Ollson, Eisfield and Aneke were not given the same chance as Zelalem on the Far East tour…
Olsson vision is quite ‘non- Scandinavian’ in terms of football if there is such a thing as that. 😉
I like Zelalem but I am not comfortable with his fast track into the first team… his outing against Yanited a few weeks back showed a lot of deficiencies in his game imho… but I guess those will be ironed out by playing so it is a catch 22 situation…
Hi SD…
Against Reading last season, Eisfield came on and formed part of the double pivot with Le Coq and I thought he was terrific helping us to come back to win 5-7…
A few weeks ago both Eisfield and Olsson kept tripping over eaach other; and against OM from the clips I have seen Jebb was the one who played behind Serge in the no.10 role…
Munchini is on the short list as a replacement for Fatih (Galatasaray)
off for the night – catch ya later guys go gunners tonight !
Will the faithful welcome or be keen on Mandzukic when Lew joins FC Bavaria if we had the option to sign him…?
Night Oz… later
I don’t think that thug would suit our style of play. Not the prolific finisher that we require either.
AW has singled out Bellerin and Olsson in his pre-match interviews in addition to Serge…
I wonder where Bellerin’s future will be on the field i.e position?
I would love Sagna to get a new deal based on his professionalism and loyalty to us. CJ25 is a gooner so we ‘need’ him if he can continue to grow… but Bellerin and Toral joined us with the expectation and agreement to to be in the first team; AW has decisions to make…
With Ozil here and JW, Olsson and Zelalem ahead of Toral, I wonder where his future lays too being a left footed attack minded midfielder and all…
Afternoon All…
Cheers for edit Rico…
Thanks HenryB/Ginge…
Alex Iwobi is an interesting pick….
Maybe he’s in as Frimpong is out, unfortunately…
Iwobi is highly rated as a utility player, although I think he often fills in at full-back…
Gotta feeling that Bendtner is gonna play well tonight…
Bellerin and Olsson up for the pre-match interviews…
Hmm, could just be a part of their education or a clue that they’re starting tonight…
With Walcott out for 2/3 weeks, I wonder if Gnabry might be held back and saved for Swansea???
Toral is injured, otherwise he would almost certainly be in the squad…
Likewise Yennaris, Afobe, Zelalem…
Do I not like that news concerning Ramsey, that would be just so effin typical, just as he’s playing like ‘Harry Champion’…..
Adam, don’t forget my clogs when you visit Amsterdam,
Oh, and the ready rub… Cheers mate 😉
Imagine wenger going with Park and Bentner in Attack. You’d have thought you would never hear of that combination of write offs in an Arsenal shirt?
Hi Sir Kev,
Shame about Afobe… another injury prone casualty of our cursed set-up…
Park and Bendtner… a comedy night in store then…lol
Everything is possible…
afternoon all!
Diego Lopez (A.Madrid) is not a player for us (my opinion)
I’m goiing to try to watch the game tonight
Kev. Clogs on the list already. Space cake for brudder Lee.
Afternoon folks, what a beautiful afternoon it’s been..
Thanks Adam….
True brudder……
That’s quite alright. I always think about my extended family. 🙂
Afternoon all,
The youngsters have never let us down in the League Cup, eventually getting out muscled in the latter rounds but doing us proud along the way.
There were a couple of occasions where Wenger stuck with them when he could have played the big guns in semi’s finals against full strength teams but you can’t knock him for that.
We’re on a roll, 3-1 to The Arsenal.
You are confident Micko … I’m not…
Evening all, Good post AK bout time too, You should be a coach you know more about our youngsters than Wenger does. Just to answer Rico’s Bit about Bendtner if wenger always thought He was a center forward why the hell did he play him on the wing. Youngsters FC playing tonight and a few old uns and some unknown sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I know you have faith in these players AK and you may also be right that by the end of the season some of them may be household names, but in my eyes a competition that a cup is played for and also a gateway into Europe should not be used for blooding a team of newbies and players who are not quite over the hill but also not properly fit. After all this is a football club with a massive following and expectations of supporters is massive. Youngsters should be blooded at one at a time intivals so as not to upset the rythm of the team, we cannot win a competition that we dont put our best team on and that to me is a cop out. I love Wenger as you all know but i am against his idea’s on this one. I get fed up with hearing that we buy a Marqee player to win trophies and then don’t play them, thats double Dutch to me and low and behold Bendtner back and stories of how good he is , Fcuk me we couldn’t even give him away.
That’s what made me chuckle too Sp, I think AW has been trying to give Bendtner a boost ahead of tonight…
Also, I really want us to win this cup but by playing more of the first team, it guarantees nothing, last season proved that..
What tickled me Rico is he was sent to Denmark with a personal trainer to get fit, He’s been earning 50 grand a week and cant keep fit what the hell is happening at Arsenal.
Ha ha Sp, it is a bit of a joke isn’t it.. Most footballers, especially the top level ones don’t need to be told to get fit…
Dinner calls..

Hi Adam,
The link should work on Ipad as well. I’m a bit confused about the time (London or Amsterdam 20:00).
Has the match already started than?
Of course I’m happy to provide an alternative link. No sweat at all.
Match doesn’t start for another 30 mins Dg..
Adam I think what causes you problems is Flash. This type of software doesn’t run on any Apple products.
But no worries. Your alternative comes available at 19:45. Will post ASAP.
Cheers mate. I will give it a whirl.

Hope my alternative works matey. Most Ipad streamings I found are on subscription fees or behind paid links requiring a one time tenner deposit.
https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/382931571159732224
How crazy is that, if he has a shoulder injury, he shouldn’t even be on the bench..
Not happy about bendtner in the starting 11..doesn’t deserve to be near the squad imo..
Akpom / park deserve more..
My stream isn’t working 🙁
Ah, it’s 8pm ko 😳

Hayden got away with that one…
It’s boring boring half an hour so far.. Many misplaced passes from both sides..
Not a single goal scoring chance created by either side.. and definitely can’t recalla ssingle shot on target..
Hayden looks good.. Bendtner awful.. The other kids look lost..
In summary you not missing anything.. 😉
On the other side they putting in a very good defensive display.. especially Miachi..
Flapski just made a good save from Reed’s free kick..
Half time… Booooooor…
That was painful viewing….
Big call for the ref and thanks goodness he only showed Hayden a yellow…
There wasn’t booing was there Judge?
Or was that just you? 😉
I’m off for the day guys, hope the second half is better and we get a couple of goals..
Not around tomorrow so catch up Friday morning….
Night all…
And thanks Kev in advance 😉
Boooooooring rico… 😉
poor first half
Why we didn’t shot?
Ryo must play on the right side
Who haven’t a link for watching the game?
🙂 Judge…
Seems to me the youngsters are a bit stuck on the distribution pace.
Balls are either passed in a delay or sprayed in a hurry.
Night Madam. Have a wonderful tomorrow.

I’m back to the game.
I post a link but my coomment went to moderation
we are very slowly!
What did I say about Eisfield scoring after 60 minutes…
ha ha ha… Where is Micko?lol
Another assist by B-something
Einsfeld !!!! 0-1
We were lucky…
Well done Eisfeld, superb weighted pass by Pink Boots!!!
I love Arteta as the no.6 player maker… too good
Ginge
Stop ridding your high horse, you only fit a pony. 😉
1-1 …..
Ginge, the soothsayer. Stop ridding your horse, said DG.
Liverpool 1 – Yoonighted 0 at halftime.
one of my fave youngster on.
Not sure why Ryo is still on but…
😀 Dg
Evening Nash
Ginge only fits Napoleon’s pony.
Last time I saw a picture of it, its belly scraped the very ground the poor creature negotiated.
Sorry Peeps,
Wrong info. Yoonighted won by a thin margin 1-0 over the Scoucers.
Hi DG. Liverpool vs ManU, is the other way round. ManU 1, L’pool 0
Hi there Ng, howdy?
Ryo needs to come off…imho
Not too bad… Olsson looks good on the ball too…
Park has a goal in him from the bench… come on TV get us the winner!
Does anyone know if Eisfield is asthmatic or not? He has seriously poor stamina for someone with his build…
Nash
Saw my c*ck up. Was quick to correct it. Info actually came from a live forum.
Impressive B-something had not played since March and he is playing over 90 minutes in his first game… wow
Any arsenal player stand out tonight fellow gooners,hear we’re pretty poor overall.any truth on Ramsey injury
Hi Cork… don’t know mate…
Arteta and Monreal have been good. Mert MOtM for me…
Ginge
I think the team suffers from the discrepancy in engines at several positions. That’s why our typical Arsenal flow hardly surfaced tonight.
Shite… Arteta injured again
Arteta out… injury
I agree Dg…
Apart from Mert and CJ no one was 100% match fit…
Chelsea in the next round, should we get there!
Squad depth might have forced Wenger to play Arteta at 80% recovered fitness.
Capital One Cup next round draw:
Sunderland vs. Southampton
Leicester City vs. Fulham
Birmingham City vs. Stoke City
Manchester United vs. Norwich City
Burnley vs. West Ham United
West Bromwich Albion or Arsenal vs. Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Hull City
Newcastle United vs. Manchester City
Awful awful bendtner…booooo…
Not a good draw. 😉
Should we get through…
Bendtner is a joke!
Thanks T’s we’re jinksed with injuries at the moment. Can see a rough month ahead unless we get a few players back so we can rotate our midfield
Ginge
Pre-heated drawing balls?
A minute in the microwave and *ping* you got yourself a rigged lot draw. I mean if match fixing happens in snooker……
Cheers dutch, scotland and shetland ponies, it’s all coming together now, the truth always comes out in the end.
Didn’t realise it was extra time and penalties, hopefully we can do the biz…………
Just admit it tsgh, you’ve been rumbled !
poor and lucky
Poor imagination too
Evening Micko
The game teetered on the brink of fitness bankruptcy from the second half onwards. Penalties a fair decider.
This is painful !!!
Arsenal host Chelsea after winning penalty shoot out
Ha ha Micko… I don’t admit shite… lol
Dg… the FA will be after you for your earlier comment.
Lucky win… Olsson impresssed… Ryo and Eisfield need a week on the Dartmooors…
11 away wins in a row, 8 successive wins in all comps well done boys… very well done!
11 away wins on the trot, bring on Chelsea.
Most of our penalty takers tonite weren’t old enough to get tatoo’s, enough said.
Have a wee dram on me tsgh.
Nite all.
I need to polish my ‘crystal ball’ after my Laudrup comment… if we do not win Micko and Rico will ‘stake’ me …
Night buddy…
Night all… stay safe.
Ginge
If The Flamester can get away with a promise to stick two eyes onto a cocktail pick, I have high hopes they do sue me. 😉
These kids are not ready yet for the big stage..
Hopefully it’ s a valuable experience for them..
Ryo was really off the pace.. didn’t see any special talent thingy..
second choice striker.. bendtner!? really says all about our summer business…
Bring on chelsea indeed..
Night Micko and Ginge.
ahead…
To win a tournament you have to beat every opponent in front of you. Come hell, rain or sunshine.
That is true DG. My old mate.
I am in your fair country in a couple of weeks.
Two positives.. apart from winning the tie..
Flapianski made few good saves..
our kids did a lot better than Henderson..20 millions!? what a waste! ..
Judge. Do you mean the thing known as a Jordan Henderson that sometimes runs around aimlessly for Liverpool
v funny adam
we done the job, but it was laborious…
a good run out for TV05 and nice to see akpom eisfeld getting a look in. Pink boots is off the pace, ryo , well…doesnt look like a prem player. It was vital monreal got some minutes.
of all the rookies, gnabry has a chance…the others will end up like lansbury
Hey George. You are well I hope mate?
That’s the one Adam!
Night gooners…
Night Judge and everyone. Bed calls.
Been working flat out Adam, hence why i havent been on for a while..otherwise good
You really off to Holland?
Evening Adam,
Coming to Arnhem again?
BTW did you get my Ipad app suggestion? It seriously broadens the scope of websites that comes available to you. Plus it has a build in Flash emulator, enables you to view any Flash related item of your choosing including live streams. App is called SKYFIRE, download at the ITunes store or find the link I posted earlier.
Oops. Still here.
Yep, I saw that Dutch. Many thanks.
George. Just off to Amsterdam for a couple of days for a change of scenery really.
Dutch. You still up on the German border?
Dutch. You sure about Skyfire? It gets shit reviews.
Ok friends. Nodding off here. Speak tomorrow Dutch?
George. Best of luck mate. Don’t be such a stranger.
Night Adam.
Otherwise try the app called Iswifter, available free of charge. If it doesn’t suit your purposes just uninstall. Same Flash emulator principle as Skyfire.
Just caught up on some of the post-match comments…
Gotta say that some of the criticism of our players is a tad harsh…
How many times have the majority of posters seen our young players???
How on earth can anyone write them off after what for many are their debuts???
It beggars belief, that Arsenal fans, fans that have a history of watching young players come through our youth system, can be so dismissive of these kids when they are barely out of nappies in football terms…
It wasn’t so long ago that I used to read disparaging comments about Gibbs, Jenkinson and even Wilshere….
I know that everyone has their favourites, as I have mine, but for God’s sake give our players a chance people…
Sir Steve, usually I would agree with you concerning the League Cup…
In past seasons it has irritated me that Wenger hadn’t taken this competition more seriously…
Maybe that was because I knew that his squad had little or no chance of winning either of his main targets, the EPL or the CL..
But this season I don’t think that that is the case…
I think that this present Arsenal squad can challenge all the way for the EPL, if not the CL…
Therefore I believe that Wenger is correct this season, to save his 1st choice players for the EPL and play a shadow squad in the League Cup.
Having wrote the above, I think that Wenger should go toe to toe with the Conceited One in the next round, not least for psychological reasons…
Wenger has never beaten señor Conceited…
Maybe it’s time for Arsene to put the record straight and at the same time get into the head of the ageing Interpreter…
Morning all, new post will be up around 9.30..
Catch you tomorrow….
Morning Rico, take it steady with all that gear…
Good to see that Arteta is ok and only hobbled off last night because of cramp…
Morning Kev, what are your views on the youngsters performance.
I thought they all did very well. Mulumba gave Hayden a good test but he has a lot of potential if he can curb the red mist from decending…
Morning all btw… stay safe Lady Rico and see you on Friday.
I must say B-23 really impressed me with his stamina…; he held the ball up and did his bit defensively. He even raced back to help defend set-pieces…
His touch was a bit laboured but you would expect that from a player who has played less than 7 games this calendar year.
We all know Bendtner may never be a 30 goal a season striker but he is/will be useful in the way we like to play especially in October to February were you need a bit of brawl upfront…
Morning all,
Totally agree ts and Kev. That was pretty much west Brom’s first team against our fringe and U/21’s.
I actually expected more guidence from our Captain and vice.
Agreed there ts, I saw Giroud make the same mistake as B-23 last season of being too slow and taking too long.
Poor defending for their goal, how can you leave so much space for Long and a free header 6 yards out.
