Arsenal -v- Hull City

SantryRed

Since it's on the box, might as well have a thread for it.

Should be a handy win for Arsenal but it has been a weird weekend for results so far.

cson

Arsenal: Song, Nasri, Arshavin, Emmanuel-Thomas, Fabianski, Eduardo, Vela, Walcott, Eboue, Sagna, Denilson, Vermaelen, Diaby, Ramsey, Gallas, Wilshere, Silvestre, Almunia

Hull City: Gardner, Duke, McShane, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Mendy, Cousin, Olofinjana, Fagan, Ghilas, Barmby, Boateng, Garcia, Hunt, Zayatte, Dawson, Geovanni, Myhill, Kilbane

Disappointed not to have Ramsey in there. He'd do a far better job than that ape Diaby, how he gets a game at Arsenal I do not know. Good to see Sagna dropped (I think) he's playing muck melodeon and this might be a good kick up the arse for him.

Cagey 2-1 win hopefully, with Fabregas to congratulate the team in his trackies again infuriating Phil Brown who remarks "Phil Brown wouldn't stand for that kind of dress from the captain of Phil Browns team"

Nasri is looking sharp today, I must say. I fancy him to get a goal.

therokerroar

2-0 to Arsenal I reckon.

Joeyjoejoe43

Edourdo really needs a goal for his confidence..

Beau x1

I dunno. Still not going to write Hull off this until we get 2.

Frisbee

We look very much like the same old Arsenal, god damn you Cesc!

Eboue has put in a few very good crosses today, if only we had someone who could head the ball...

Joeyjoejoe43

Nice to see Denilson getting stuck into that tackle, we need more of that, a bit of steel in midfield. Pick up yellow cards if ya have to..

Agreed, agreed and agreed.

We need Bendtner back.

what is with Hunt and keepers

Panthro

had to laugh at the commentator's view on ESPN on yahoo's text commentery...
scroll down to the 34th min update, hah!tis true

wandatowell

We cant drop more points tonight can we?? Limp performance from the team so far

Frisbee

I can't understand why we have Arshavin up top and Eduardo out on the left, Eduardo isn't going to beat anyone with pace and at least if he's in the box he has a bit more strength for holding up the ball.

Mossy Monk

Arsenal are absolute **** again.

Xavi6

Tis all kickin off

Beau x1

lmfao almunia heading up the other end of the pitch

SantryRed

In all fairness, bit sad from Garcia. Stupid from Nasri at first.

Frisbee

1. What the fcuk is Almunia doing running all the way up?

2. Why Nasri? Why?

3. Lol at that dive.

Hunt and Nasri both rightfully booked.

Beau x1

This match will erupt if Hull score first.

Mossy Monk

Brazillian magic

Yeah

OPENROAD

Get in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

ha ha Hull

Frisbee

Barmby should have been booked aswell seeing it again.

Also loved how Hunt was mad for getting involve, then Song came over and he went very quiet...

Redzer7

New free kick taker C'mon Arsenal.

Beau x1

**** YEAH DENILSON!!!
He's such a nice guy.

Frisbee

SAMBA MAGIC!!!

OPENROAD

Hunt :mad:

Mossy Monk

Hunt really is a little **** stirrer lol. Hopefully Hull come out mad and make mistakes. All the while Arsenal can take them apart

Raskolnikov

Lucky, lucky Arsenal. They need Bendtner back big time.

wandatowell

Nice freekick, that'll look great on his stats :pac:

Beau x1

Denilson is my hero

Come on. Let's take those 3 points lads. Time to crack open a beer + smoke break..been a great match in terms of banter so far.

Hunt reminds me of Wolf from Gladiator.

And thank God, we deserve some luck.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Denilson is the greatest Brazilian player since Lucas

OPENROAD

Anyone else know if Cesc is on the bench with the players?

Very cold day in London, hope he has his black leather jacket on and fully zipped up

leninbenjamin

well, tis half time and Arsenal are undeservedly 1-0 up.

It's a pity that the scuffle is the main highlight. Nasri with a petulant little trod on the toe, Hull with the (as to be expected) over reation. Barmby is a lucky boy to be on the field though, i dunno would you call it a punch, slap or a push but he struck Nasri in the head, straight red if it had been seen, although it would have spoiled the game if it had been so, i think Bennett diffused the situation very fairly.

Anyway, Arsenal as usual these days playing within themselves in the first half and letting Hull run rings around them at times. Hull unlucky really not to have created more, they've wasted the ball in some good areas of the pitch. They could have caught Arsenal out on the counter once or twice too but for some terrible passing in the Arsenal half. They don't seem to know what to do when they have the ball, they couldn't have expected to have so much ball time against the Gunners.

As for the goal: the ESPN commentators didn't seem to think it was a foul but Diaby was bundled over by a strong challenge, i don't think you can really argue with it. Denilson though, excellent free. I saw it in his eyes as he lined it up that he would score. I've been telling you he all will be an important player for Arsenal yet. Great free.

no, he's in the stands wearing a hat, scarf and massive bomber jacket.

What a bad miss..

OPENROAD

Beautiful turn by Eduardo.

Raskolnikov

Eduardo :P

Mossy Monk

More positive start to the second half from Arsenal

Frisbee

If only he could have applied the finish, would have been a beautiful goal...

SantryRed

Any chance Arshavin could do something? Having him up front on his own is madness.

Frisbee

I'll be amazed if there isn't a red card in this game...

silvestre has struck again

Mossy Monk

Jesus ****ing Christ Silvestre.

Raskolnikov

Arsenal all over Hull.

SantryRed

Sooooooooooooound Silvestre. There goes a clean sheet bonus on fantasy

Mossy Monk

**** YEAH

Poor penalty

Raskolnikov

HAHAHA!

Silvvestre = Cygan.
