Uefa Champions Lge Group B- Montpellier V Arsenal

Gringo180

Live on Setanta Sports Ireland 7.45pm

Arsenal line up;
Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelan, Gibbs, Gervinho, Diaby, Cazorla, Arteta, Podolski, Giroud.

Tough game for us tonight but I still fancy us to win the match by the odd goal, delighted to see Giroud start and hopefully he can get his first goal for us tonight.

Giroud has to open his account tonight.

Frisbee

Worried at Diaby playing, would much rather him to be rested and be fresh for City at the weekend.

DenMan

Have a great feeling Giroud is going to break his duck tonight. No better place than where he won the league last season and finished top scorer. Come on Arsenal!!!

I'm really surprised diaby is playing. Really thought he'd be rested. It's a really strong team out there from arsenal. A lot stronger then I thought would be playing. Wenger obviously taking no chances

cson

Thats Walcott definitely gone on a free next summer so.

Ankle problem from the Southampton game, you could see him clutching after the clanger goal.

Platini in the stands.

Marty McFly

Just put a fiver on Arsenal to win 3-1 at 19/1 come on Arsenal

Who puts Cazorla next to Metersacker in the line-up ? He looks tiny :D

20 second yellow card for Diaby.
Harsh ref

Ref gives a penalty, we won't get any favours tonight.

Jenkinson really coming on this year. Peno? ! Bugger

Frisbee

It was definitely a peno. Nothing to do with the ref tbh.

Marty McFly

fcuk, looked like it was a peno though.

bad2dabone

Game on.

European refs a just a joke

Initial reaction was that it was neither in the box nor a foul but looking at the replay it was the right call unfortunately.

AdamD

Pretty 50/50 tbh

Frisbee

Mannone definitely could have got to that if he'd jumped back up.

greendom

First time we've been behind this season - good test of character

It was a penalty. No doubt about it. Ref don't really well tbh.

We need to settle a bit, trying to force the passes quickly at the moment

Great link up play by Jenks & Gervais

Podolski.....
Let the goals roll now.....

Mickeroo

Get in!! Normal sevice resumed.

Was that a Giroud assist??

LU LU LU LUKAS PODOLSKI

Beautiful !!! What a move!!

Marty McFly

Well finished by Podolski hes a player who im really loving this year

shano_88

PODOLSKI

Nice assist by Giroud too.

MaxPower89

Poor enough attempted save from Mannone, it looked like Mertesacker was mad with him for it.

A goal!!! Lovely deft pass from Giroud.

Frisbee

Lukas you legend!

And now The Lightbulb!

Jenkinson and Gervinho again, Gervinho scores
wow is all......

1-2

GERVINHO

greendom

And Gervinho ! Goal scoring machine

Marty McFly

Great play by Gervinho and a lovely ball in by Jenkinson , one more goal and ill be a happy man.

shano_88

I'm so surprised at how good Jenkinson has been this year. Developing into a very good player.

Jenkinson is looking better and better with each game.

cson

Poldi's been a cracking signing. Early contender for signing of the season. To get a player like that for circa £10m with the way prices are gone is incredible value.

Mickeroo

Whats with all this optimism around here then?

Its an open enough game with decent movement from Montpellier. Good for the neutral viewers. Not great for us. I can see them getting another goal. Then again I can see us getting a couple more as well

greendom

Good defending jenks

I have to say I was worried he'd flop. Couldn't have imagined he'd be this good, especially so soon. Great signing.

cson

Mbiwa is a bit of a Toure; all action, less thought to things. Would probably do will with a tactically astute partner to guide him.

cson

Good save.
