3-1, excellent Bayern goal.

Rodger's didn't look happy on the sideline

0-2 to the Arse so far. Verminator and Pod. Could be 0-6 really.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Mannone is such a dire keeper.

 

[Somnambulist]

Cazorla is looking really handy so far.

Cazorla is looking really handy so far.

Yeah very tidy. Reminds me of Arteta. Giroud looks a completely different proposition to the first look at Chamakh way back and Walcott also looking good. Going forward I think we are going to be awesome. It all depends on how the defending works out.

Not seen a lot of Pod so far. Bizzare that RvP is on the bench. Surely we are not going to give the little **** some game time.

Pleats come up with some crackers for today's Liverpool game. Coates is apparently pronounced Curtis and Sterling's pronounced Sirloin

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Great move, Podolski with a nice finish too.

 

[B1gbeard]

3-0. Pod's second goal. Assist from Gibbs.

 

[Somnambulist]

3-0, Pod, nicely worked.

 

[Robbo]

Arsenal looking tidy, still need a defender or two, though.

LOL @ Wenger stratching his head when the ref blows for halftime at 44:27! :

With 4 CB's and 4 FB's I can't see that happening. I think the team as a whole needs to do more defensively. Looking at the bench the squad is looking really good at the moment.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

The Gibbs/Podolski combination looks like it could be quite potent.

Let's hope we actually see the results lol.

Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla... yes please. I'm almost feeling a twinge of optimism this year.

First goal was a near post flick on.

 

[Robbo]

van Persie hasn't come on, has he?

 

[B1gbeard]

All change except for Pod and Mannone by the looks of it. No RvP.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Not yet, he'll probably replace Podolski a bit later.

 

[B1gbeard]

You'd hope Chamakh would.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

FFS Gervinho, three times now, first time he held the ball up forever instead of passing, second time he waited about 5 years before slipping the ball through and the third time he completely ignores Podolski.
