Arsenal

• Vito Mannone
• Bacary Sagna
• Thomas Vermaelen
• William Gallas
• Gael Clichy
• Emmanuel Eboue
• Alex Song
• Cesc Fabregas (c)
• Abou Diaby
• Eduardo
• Robin Van Persie

• Substitutes
• Wojciech Szczesny
• Mikael Silvestre
• Kieran Gibbs

Think Arsenal will use this game to build some more confidence after the comeback @ Standard Liege.
2-0 to the gunners

RasTa

Stadium looks 70% full.

Nice strike from RVP

MementoMori

Kirkland in the running for silliest looking keeper award, with the cap

Vey shakey there from Mannone.

MementoMori

RVP looking lively - might be worth a bet in running for goal-scorer

Bramble clears off the line from Gallas after Kirkland messes up dealing with a corner

Working for me in sopcast , in english too.

MementoMori

Arsenal with the upper hand and putting Wigan under pressure.

RVP in a decent position makes an awful effort and shins the ball wide.

Looks like it's only a matter of time before Arsenal score at the moment as the only goal being put under pressure is Wigan's

Ridiculous effort at handball from Eboue and a yellow card

WillieCocker

WOW Eboue looks like he could be a great Goalkeeper, wonder has Wenger ever tried him in that position.:pac:

paul150

get in the verminator

Souless

go on vermaelen 1-0

MementoMori

Vermaelen 1-0 header from a corner RVP with the assist.

Very poor defending from Wigan.

Wigan giving away a ridiculous amount of free-kicks around the box.

Could be costly

Headshot

ver again bloody hell,he could be the buy of the summer

WillieCocker

I knew my views on Vermaelen weren't premature.
He is our best player so far this season.
Magic stuff.

paul150

Lets hope so They are being very dirty with their tackles today. We should be more than 1 up. Is it just me or is Eboue actually having a good game today? lol

WillieCocker

Eboue's first touch is awful.
You could only play him as a RB effectively.

I feel the same although Gallas has gotten me a few points this season at least

Is this ref ever gonna produce a card ?

MementoMori

Arsenal well on top here.

Jeez ref you are allowed give yellow card for persistent fouling.

Wigan look pretty woeful - seems to have no idea what to do besides foul.

Spike Lee in the stands. :cool:

WillieCocker

Spike Lee in the stands....Arsenal fan LOLZ

Eire-Dearg

Just me or do Arsenal fans ever stop booing? They seem to do it more than other fans.

MementoMori

In spite of how poor they have been, Wigan with a decent chance from a corner. Arsenal don't look secure at the back with dealing with balls into the box.

Royale with Cheese

No matter who they're playing, Arsenal still look likely to concede at any time. Don't think you could ever be confident of an Arsenal clean sheet.

couldn't agree more unfortunatly

Royale with Cheese

How the fúck is this still 1-0, some woeful finishing out there today.

Souless

jesus christ how did he not put that in? come on van find the back of the net!

Bendtner would've even got them!

:pac:

WillieCocker

Agreed, finishing is way off what it should be.HT
1-0

Wigan very fortunate to only be 1 down at HT

On another day RVP could have had a hat-trick already

paul150

all these missed chances could come back to haunt us

Royale with Cheese

Eduardo has been poor again.

Royale with Cheese

Vermaelen... fúck me. Showing the strikers how it's done.

MementoMori

Vermaelen with a peach of a curler from outside the box into the top corner to make it 2-0. Tasty

What odds a CB hat-trick?

Souless

Vermaelen what a cracker of a goal! what a day he's having

MementoMori

Vermaelen picks the ball up deep in his own half (last man back) and the Arsenal fans all start yelling shoot!!!:D V.G.

Mossy Monk

That was an amazing goal.

TheSpecialOne

what a strike son!

mike65

Thomas Vermaelen looks like your surprise star for this season.

WillieCocker

Vermaelen will be the most sought after CB come next season.:D

Vermaelen to Barca!!!oneoneone


:pac:

Souless

I was wondering what the story was with Scotland he was amazing last season with Swansea and he hasn't played for Wigan very much yet.

joe316

Deserved that for the first volley, great technique

TheSpecialOne

if Eduardo's first shot had gone in o sweet christ...3-0 baby!Eduardo/Eboue!

Souless

and thats 3 lads Go on eddie

Eire-Dearg

What a signing Vermaelen has been. Two goals!

Just read of someone having 20 quid on him to score twice...

Royale with Cheese

Would have to give that to Eboue myself.

Wonder what the odds on that would have been lol

MementoMori

Game over - I think it's Eboue with a miniscule touch to get the goal.

Could be another goal or two here.

Wigan look to have gone back a fair bit from last season. I think it could be a long season for them

Souless

think it has been credited to him now not sure

WillieCocker

Alex Song, showing he's not just a great holding midfielder.
Wonderfull run.

Royale with Cheese

This could get embarrassing for Wigan if Arsenal can manage to stick a few more of their chances away.
