Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [30th April - 2nd May 2016]

[MissChief]

Not surprised there's so many empty seats at the Emirates, Arsenal are unbelievably frustrating to watch.

There's no urgency, no attacking intent and, it seems, in typical Arsenal fashion a shot from outside the box is punishable with a two week fine. No wonder the stadium is half empty and the atmosphere is completely flat.

 

[McBain]

Probably had 80% possession and Ruddy hasn't made a single save.

Flat, slow, too many touches, no width, no pace. Just crap.

Norwich actually look considerably more dangerous. I'd take Jerome over Giroud all day long, at least he knows how to stay onside and works hard.

Lovely angle of Townsend's free-kick - https://twitter.com/NUFCChatUK/status/726438840970387456

Lol Giroud dive, wish we had retrospective banning for dives.

 

[Captain]

What is arsenal's problem with shooting? They try and walk the ball into the net too often, so frustrating, sat here shouting at the TV for them to shoot.

 

[McBain]

Giroud is actually a joke, shocking first touch then just throws himself on the ground? How on earth he hasn't been changed at half time i'll never know, Wenger is an arrogant ****.

 

[McBain]

HAHAHAHAHA, then subs Iwobi and not Giroud for Wellbeck? My word, no wonder the Arsenal fans want him out.

On the pitch what, 5 minutes and scores.

 

[The_One]

Welbs

How the hell did ozil get that ball to sanchez

 

[Purdy]

Should've sent ozil off there, acting like a nob

 

[antijoke]

So regardless of the Leicester result tomorrow if Chelsea beat Spurs on Monday its over?

 

[omnomnom]

So regardless of the Leicester result tomorrow if Chelsea beat Spurs on Monday its over?

Yup.

 

[McBain]

Might be 3 points but a throughly pump performance from Arsenal.

 

[robfosters]

Ozil and Sanchez are gone IMO.

 

[dannyjo22]

We're so gash.

I dunno he successfully managed to out think a team also on 41 points, still managed to concede again so the consistency is still there!

Tony Hibbert back again, I thought we had seen the back of him!

 

[bloodline76]

Ozil and Sanchez are gone IMO.

Can't see that happening to be honest. More likely wenger would go and that won't happen. Maybe the year after when his contract runs out.

 

[JohnnyG]

Why didn't Lukaku start today, was it just a case of it being a dead rubber game so he gave others the opportunity?

 

[robfosters]

Can't see that happening to be honest. More likely wenger would go and that won't happen. Maybe the year after when his contract runs out.

If they want to go, they'll go. Refuse to sign new contracts and arsenals hand is forced.

 

[The_One]

2 years left on their contracts nothing to worry about yet

 

[CliffyG]

Giroud and Ramsey yet again woeful and undroppable. 14 games without a goal for Giroud, was it 8 offsides or more yesterday? He is literally pointless in every place of the pitch other than just in front of the 6 yard box but is rarely there. Welbeck is not the answer up front either. Campbell, one of our most exciting and consistent players when we had everyone out injured is not even on the bench. Then against the mighty Norwich we take off one of our best players to shut up shop. Awful game, 1 shot on target. Same old Arsenal......
