Arsenal v Partizan, 19:45 RTE 2 (The race for Barca)

L'prof

No match thread as yet, so I thought I'd start one. Arsenal have a slight chance of winning this group, but it's extremely unlikely.

I expect Wenger to field a strong team tonight and go for the jugular. Having beaten them 3-1 in Belgrade, we really should have too much for them, but let's see if it pans out that way!

SDTimeout

Time for Robin to reintroduce himself. Brace is on the cards tonight.

tdv123

RTE's coverage has been great so far.

_Bella_

I really hope that Djourou gets the start against ManU.

Raskolnikov

Arsenal should wallop this lot. That is all.

TanG411

I say 3-0 to Arsenal.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Seems as if Denilson has gone for a new character from the Wire to model himself on after Snoop previously...

Is the sound a smidgin ahead of the video or is Hamilton improving his psychic powers?

HyperSkypeWiper

Arsenal to lose 0-1

Ah ****, looks like Gibbs has injured himself again.

Gibbs is Gareth Bale two years ago incredibly injury prone

Penalty. RvP bundled over in the box. Scored!

L'prof

Boom, here comes the pain!!!

TanG411

Well taken, and with good power.

Should be a good confidence boost for the team, things will pick up now.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Lionel Eboue, haha:pac:

everdead.ie

Partizan refuse to put it out wide and put a cross in

Think its just tactical.

Squillachi has been a quality signing ..............:mad:

Royale with Cheese

They just never learn. Here comes the massive Partizan pressure, Arse will do well to hang on in there for 20 minutes, then might or might not get the winner before the end.

L'prof

That's awful from Squillaci!

TanG411

Jaysus.

_Bella_

FFS typical Arsenal.

JPA

1-1 :eek:

amacachi

FFfffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu


Any other Arsenal fans just got a vague bad feeling about this?

Minstrel27

Absolutely useless. Wenger wake up and buy a couple of decent center backs. FFS

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Arsenal neck high in shìt.

Nemanja91

Ronnie Whelan is some bollix.

Just Contribute

Just tuning in now. How have Arsenal played?

Just saw the goal, it was unlucky to be fair.

Yep,Partizan were content to try and play a cautious game but their tails are up and look the more likely to score tbh.

Just Contribute

Dodgy keeper! :pac:

Sajan

Not trolling here. But I think Arshavin and Chamakh's performance tonight sums them up really. What do Arsenal fans think of them both?

patrickc

FFS Arsenal..


what are ye at at all ?

Wenger get Walcott on now.

even the crowd are shouting for Theo..

Quazzie

What a shambles this is. We have supposedly an attacking side out but we can't get the ball high to even take a long range shot.

Here comes Walcott now to run the ball to the endline and lose it on numerous occasions over the next 25 minutes.

Just Contribute

Walcott coming on now. Probably for Arshavin.

patrickc

about time..


now some pace needed..

Hot and Cold doesn't sum it up fully!
Fans are getting on the players backs...probably righly so

TanG411

Arsenal just don't seem to have the hunger. I'm actually worried they won't score.

How's Braga doing?

OPENROAD

Glaad I got home late tonight, saved myself some money

iMuse

its envitable braga will score so arsenal would really need to stop pissing about and win this match

Raskolnikov

quality save.
