    ya a bit of luck involved in the finish

    Awful time to give a goal away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,570 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Poor first half of football imo.

    West Ham deserve to be in front, Arsenal have been second to every 50:50 ball, with the exception of Song, who has had to cool off since he picked up that yellow.

    The game slows down every time Eduardo touches the ball, get Nasri on for him.

    Merida and Wilshere have been fairly anonymous so far, with the exception of Wilshere's two brainfart moments on the edge of our box. Infact WHU should be 2-0 up.

    So far it looks like we're throwing away another chance of silverware, the effort needs to be upped big time.

    Well now, that certainly makes things a lot more interesting. Fantastic ball through, poor finish and worse goal keeping. Not necessarily sure WHU deserve to be one up, but it's not unexpected considering how shaky Arsenal's defence looks once again.

    Lovely finish IMO - Keeper was well placed, Hit in the corner and hope the keeper cant reach it, textbook

    eh... it looked to me that it was Fabianski half-assed attempt save that pushed it onto the post. Better keeper would have saved it, it wasn't a great finish at all, no pace on the ball, not out of the keepers reach and at a good height too for the keeper to save. Lucky it went in tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,480 ✭✭✭✭cson


    He didn't hit into the corner, Fabianski semi-pushed it there. Unlucky not to save it.

    eh?keeper got his hand to it,was poor finish,he sent it to the side the keeper commited himself to,rather than the other way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,153 ✭✭✭everdead.ie


    Love Zola's reaction Lovely chap

    Good to see John Hartson looking better.

    You wouldn't even know he'd been ill to look at him! Hope everything goes ok with him and he recovers fully. He's certainly a fighter

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    The Hammers are giving this a damned good go.

    I'd say it was creeping in. Fantastic save.

    Thats a small bit harsh, it was a smart finish. His body language hinted that he was going to shoot to the keepers right. He was even looking in that direction and just as he was about to shoot he switched to the keepers left. Very confident play from Diamaiti (not sure on the spelling).

    West ham must smell blood

    Diaby -> Merida
    Nasri -> Eduardo

    Have to say this is the first time I've really been impressed with Vela this season, he's been a real threat down that left and has put in a few brilliant balls.

    yeah cudnt tell as was watching it on live stream,me missus is watching the tv unfortunately,have to be nice,already watched the united and leeds game , tis called compromise lol:rolleyes::(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    Arsenal kids are just getting dominated by the bigger West Ham players so far. Think Wilshere in particular needs to come off. West Ham have been great though, Diamanti is a monster!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,933 ✭✭✭patrickc


    I'm not feeling very confident here for Arsenal.. :mad:

    whenever Wenger says they must win, they bloody lose


  • Subscribers Posts: 16,596 ✭✭✭✭copacetic


    West Ham are well on top, but can't seem to find the final pass, it's be on a few times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,570 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    GET DIABY AND NASRI ON!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    Wilshere with more crap again! Pass the fcuking thing!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Surprised it's not gone 2-0 yet. Poor, poor performance from Arsenal.

    No game till next weekend so why not pick a stronger starting 11?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭Raskolnikov


    Merida and Wilshere off for Diaby and Nasri on, the two boys had stinkers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    I have never seen anybody who looks like a goldfish as much as Samir Nasri.
