Weekend Football Thread. *spoilers* 18-22

Really impressed with Verminator...good signing by Wenger...3-0 to Arsenal so far so good but i dont expect anything less against rubbish teams...its the top 3 that i worry about ie Man UTD, Liverpool and Chelski

Hopefully, unlike last time, a high scoring victory can turn into a good run of results. Would be annoying if we're screwed by crap officiating/simulation again.

Agreed, our past two league games we've had bad luck. The Rooney penalty, the Diaby own goal and we were refused a few penalty shouts of our own. And then the game after we had a handball in the box turned down, as well as a lot of unpunished tackles. We can turn this win into a decent run I reckon, although Wenger really, really needs to dip into the transfer market and get us some extra defensive cover.

As said above, getting really sloppy infront of goal. Go for the elaborate when 4-0 up - not at 1-0.

Song is an inconsistant and rash minded DM. I kept saying it last year yet most were saying how he's not too bad (particularly in the second half of the season). "Not too bad" versus a dribbly retarded ape isn't a good improvement.

Apparently I'm a fool because Song's only made two bad tackles, the fact Wigan managed sustained pressure by getting up the field from both freekicks doens't seem to matter, nor that BOTH were worthy of yellow cards, nor that he's made far more than 2 bad tackles, against a very poor team with one player in our half for the majority of the game against 4 defenders, yet he's still made a whole host of mistakes.

He doesn't do what a DM needs to do, which is pretty much all there is too it. he's been shown up with multiple mistakes in a game with next to no pressure or danger, and in every big game he's been non existant.

SO bored of so many fans, and seemingly Wenger, being happy to be just about "okay" against the worst teams we play. Oh well.

Nice third goal, need a higher def better angle to know how much Eboue changed the direction of the ball and if Kirkland was gonna save it without the touch, he's been superb today, not least by making tonnes of space for everyone else in the box, he's been dragging defenders left right and centre all game without stopping, thats invaluable. Its also his Ljunberg-y-ness that makes it so difficult, its the passing from one defender to another that creates gaps. Freddie loved running across the defence, meaning 4 different people are marking him at various points pulling the ENTIRE defence out of place.

His pass for Verm was great and the shot he "missed" that was a sitter according to the footbal365 commentary, was a tight angle shot that are frequently missed, likewise his snatch shot on his left foot wasn't at all far off and he had no time.


Diaby's done nothing all game and its a shame it took so long to give Ramsey/wilshire a chance, at this stage we should also rest someone else and put Wilshire on. How is giving WIlshire 5 mins every 10 games going to help him develope.


EDIT:- they finally showed a great replay from behind infront of the goal, was almost certainly going to be saved without Eboue's touch, albeit it a little lucky off his leg. Deffo an Eboue goal though.

EDIT2:- ffs, Bendtner and Rosicky, any need to risk Rosicky in a game we've won, so much for resting him properly. Seriously, why the hell aren't we giving Wilshire any time on the pitch at all :(

I have been worried on the three occasions that Rosicky has turned out for the Arsenal. The guy just seems to be made of chocolate, hope he has a great season, as he is top class.

Indeed. I'm always worried about our games against the other top three. Usually because of such things happening against us e.g. Drogba going over for the free kick at 0-0 last season etc. etc.

Think that was Eboue for the third goal, fair play to the lad it was bound for the keeper until that touch.
 
Good news for England and Villa, Heskey came on as a sub and has already been subbed off.

Song with another completely needless, completely brainless foul putting them in with a freekick in a dangerous position.

Yeah, same. The referee bias in the United game was unbelievable. Looks like RVP is down at the moment as well. Hope he's okay.

Was worried but the replay showed fairly little contact, probably half tiredness that kept him down, at least Rosicky got a new shirt though :p

EDIT:- lucky thats called offside, not sure it was at all, Song turned embarassingly easily again in the box, as per usual rather than standing his ground and reacting, he surged forwards making him being turned ridiculously easy, he really is terrible. The key thing as a defender is NOT to rush in and over sell yourself making it easy to be passed, this is the one thing Song is completely and utterly incapable of doing. But for a lazy offside with no need, that should have been another goal conceded. He's not been good enough against a poor team, when will Wenger notice.

Also genius to bring on two players that didn't need a game and not take off someone like Fabregas or bring on a youngster who needs games.

lol! :D

Wigan just had a goal ruled out for offside. Yet again Mannone fudged up the save, I don't see how the gaffer rates him, he really has been terrible in every game I've seen him in. Fabianski is a much better prospect. Probably should sub Cesc, we don't want him getting injured.
