With good reason, awful awful game so far.

Eboue just got a card there Arsenal a little dis jointed Wilshire especially but I suppose he is just back from injury.

Why would you come into thus thread at all then

Bendtner looks like he couldn't care whats going on out there.

OPENROAD

We really need to step it up, has looked slightly better in the last few mins.

Big time, get him off. There's a reason he's not getting game time judging on this performance.

The title says 'the arsenal' and hence my question:rolleyes:

_Bella_

This match has been boring so far, we really need to get a someone who can score from free kicks or at least put in a decent delivery.

+1

Cesc has been surprisingly not that good with free kicks this season, I seem to recall him being much better.

They were formed by workers from the Woolwich Arsenal in South London. Hence the use of the definite article and their nickname "The Gunners"

I can forgive him if its match rustiness, but if it's attitude then he should be let go

Have been watching on ss2, just switched over to TV3 now for luck, working fine on sky.

Good chance for Braga looks like they are going to go for it now

gandalf

Oh god this is painful to watch at the moment.

lordgoat

Nope i'm still being forced to watch Real play some beautiful football.

L'prof

This is horrendous, we really needed a big performance today to help forget about the weekend!!! Shaktar winning 0-2 too :mad:

everdead.ie

Fabergas pulled something there going off

Frisbee

Bollox, had a feeling hen I saw him stretching for that he'd hurt himself.

_Bella_

Fabregas about to go off injured Awful night all round.

iMuse

Fcuk thats crap news, hes obviously not been right for a while now with that injury

Frisbee

G'Wan captain Nasri!

_Bella_

Should have been a penalty.

Frisbee

Stonewall! Vela probably could have done with being a bit less theatrical though.

everdead.ie

Yellow for Vela \o/ Arsenals reputation preceding them?
Wilshire down now

L'prof

Definite pen, but definite offside too...oh well!

Eduardo, 0-3!

Are you seriously claiming or insinuating that neither of them were fouls ?

BERBA

alan smith the most biased commentator on the planet , dont know why they have him constantly comentating on arsenal , he should take off the blinkers

No both were fouls penalty was stone wall I'm asking is arsenals reputation for going down easy preceding them. I only mentioned Wilshire actually because I thought he was going to have to go off injured.

_Bella_

Just fantastic.

L'prof

Gutless gobshites!!!

everdead.ie

Braga 1 up where was the defence?

Frisbee

Arselol. We deserved that.

FUNKY LOVER

ffs on the counter again,how many times is this gonna happen.

iMuse

Amazing defending yet again

JPA

Loving the camp celebration.

Quazzie

In fairness with a negative and complacent approach to the game from start to finish this result (assuming it is a result) was always on the cards.

FUNKY LOVER

we actually might not get out of our group

Frisbee

That's why I wanted us to play our strongest possible team in Shakhtar and tonight. Now we're in with a good chance of not making it out of the group and it will be 100% our own fault. Pathetic.

OPENROAD

Brilliant

BERBA

ye'll hit partizan at home for a cricket score lads coz they are shockin

_Bella_

I hate Arsenal in November... it always seems be when everything falls apart.

FUNKY LOVER

i dont care this is defo the magaers fault,we fielded a weakened team against shakthar but yet he does it again,the mind boggles.

I agree with you that we never should have played a weakened team in Shakhtar, and certainly not again tonight. However tonight we weren't helped by a spineless performance from Bendtner and Fabregas and Wilshere having relatively poor games. Chamakh, Nasri and Sagna all should have started tonight.

Seriously? We beat them 6-0 at home, that team was strong enough to win tonight!

everdead.ie

Even if Braga were to end up on level points with ye you'd go through on the head to head same if you end up level with Shaktar
