Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [17th - 22nd December 2011]

As said earlier, Phil Dowd. Sigh.

 

[BaZ87]

How's Song not got a 2nd yellow? That's the 3rd time he's taken a City player out when they've been breaking away since being booked.

 

[Somnambulist]

One of those times it was Richards running straight into him trying to get him sent off. Also at least we're only 1-0 down, I'm sure both Spurs and United would have traded being 1-0 down with 10mins to go...

 

[Adrianr]

The amount of chances we've fluffed, this is clearly ending 1-1.

 

[thecremeegg]

I'm sure both Spurs and United would have traded being 1-0 down with 10mins to go...

 

[sunnysingh]

With Van Persie still on the pitch, Arsenal got more than a chance to get back into the game.

 

[Azza]

My word.

 

[Somnambulist]

Our attack has been pretty poor today, haven't been quick enough on counters and final balls have been poor. Good save Hart there.

AS IF Na$ri is man of the match (their tannoy), I forgot he was even playing most of the game.

 

[dannyjo22]

Quite comforting how average Arsenal are.... take RvP out of that lot and there's not much to them at all.

We will see how true that is next year when he moves to Man City or Real Madrid

 

[SideWinder]

Good save but it was going straight at him.

 

[Azza]

How does Song not get sent off every match?!

 

[Azza]

Hahaha Amazing!

 

[Somnambulist]

Haha that would have been a wonder goal from a defender.

 

[One More Solo]

Worrying times for Arsenal when Vermaelen has looked the most likely to score.

 

[cheets64]

City top, shuts up a few of United mates gloating about being top for Xmas

Arsenal miles and miles behind United and City.

 

[mysticsniper]

That was an amazing game! Loved it.

 

[The_One]

Absolutely brilliant match

Really proud of the lads despite the defeat

 

[Biz.Kid09]

\o/

Good performance from us, attacking flow wasn't at its best but we were solid and got the result which is important. Top saves from both goalies kept the score down but overall good performance from both teams.

 

[Adrianr]

If there is a more entertaining 1-0 this season I will be amazed. What a ride. I'm exhausted. Arsenal fans shouldn't be down in the slightest, that was a great performance.

 

[Somnambulist]

FT 1-0, having Wilshere in a game like that would have made a world of difference. Also Gervihno gets my cabbage of the match award for consistently picking the wrong pass and losing the ball that led to the first goal. At least we didn't lose by 5 or 6... played okay, no need to cry about it, just repeat our previous feat of winning the next half dozen games.
