(The not-so-temporary quite-official) Gooner Thread (Part 1)

I was surprised vermarlen didnt get a start thou. Surely just ozil snd giroud are tiring. Our to CBs are too.

Game against Everton will be a massive one. They've only lost once this year, but have notched 6 draws. Need to make sure they have their 2nd loss of the season.

I imagine we'll see:

                    Szy

Jenkinson Mert  Kosc  Gibbs

           Arteta   Flamini

Ramsey       Ozil          Walcott/Cazorla

                  Giroud

I think for the big games starting Arteta and Flamini provides extra cover at the back to release the front 4 to do what they do best. I'd like to see Wally start too as Santi still isn't firing.

lol

Mulumbu misquoted in FFM 

broken record says yes we should sign him. 

Guessing this for everton tomorrow night;

                       Szczesny

Jenkinson-Mertesacker-Koscielny-Gibbs

                 Arteta-Ramsey

            Wilshere-Ozil-Cazorla

                         Giroud

Sagna's still injured. Walcott's illness is still keeping him from starting this one apparently. Flamini could make a case for arteta's place perhaps. 

I'd agree with that Paulm. Flamini and Arteta is interesting. I would love to have a game where Flamini, Arteta, Ozil, and Ramsey started but there are only 3 midfield spots!

Also City away to Southampton, big game. If Southampton can show up and City be arse away from home again we might get some more space on them...

Southampton have been leaky recently and with a couple of key defenders/DMs out I think City will walk over them. Hope I'm wrong though.

More chance of Chelsea dropping points at Stoke I'd say. 

if the season contiues like it is im goiing to laugh at RVP leaves utd for trophies and gets one, but next season no europe and arsenal wins.

Great results for us this morning!

Tough game tonight but if we can win we'll be 7 points clear, man that'd be awesome. I'm nervous about it though, Everton look pretty decent right now.

At the start of this week I thought we'd separated into a 3-way title race and a 3-way battle for fourth. 

ManC and Chelsea have both dropped points though, and Liverpool and Spurs have had two wins each to put themselves back in the frame. Meanwhile ManU are slipping into the relegation battle... lol

big game is now bigger

massive 3 points for us. going to Chelsea and MCFC 7 clear is way healthy

as for the Chq Book Champs it'll be credit carnage in Jan. Only viewed the News Highlights but sounded like the "fans" were booing their team this morning. They can't sack Moyes  because of how bad it makes SAF look. Few problems to sort there for sure. 

Sky Sports UK is carrying a story about the Little Boy inside of RvP requesting a move away from ManUre.  What a fanny baws.

interesting to hear barry say he was talking to arsenal but we chose flamini, so he joined everton

van persie lol, imagine if that was true

hahahahahaha

Well Arsenal we both called that, wahoo! My personal favorite from the RvP memes:

Tonight is now so much more important, 7 points clear would be massive. You then manage to get a point, or possibly 3 from the Etihad, and we're looking even better.

Side note, how bad have West Ham looked post Reid injury? Still a possible Arsenal signing?

rumours that wenger is to sign a new 3 year deal

booyaa

frankly, fanboy foal favors further french flavour forthwith. 

Anyone else watching? Had a late one so have only managed to get up for 2nd half. Mega impressed by Flamini since he came on, he's like an onfield Wenger just geeing everyone up. Some good play but final ball to unlock doesn't seem to be there.

Route one from us undone by a cracker from their young barcelona starlet. 1-1 and it's on the edge stuff!

F*CK! Giroud kills a 25 yard volley into the cross bar but we have to settle for the draw. That goal was a cracking strike but disappointing they got the space to hit it, do you think Szy could have done better?

Oh and we got spurs in fa cup

That's exciting RTJ!

Gibbs could have been tighter, but ArseBlogger made a good observation that the cross shouldn't have come in. Additionally Gibbs was placed to clear the cross until Lukaku did his overhead kick attempt which guided it to the young fella. Best unintentional assist!

5 points up

Cocks in the Cup

could be worse. 

draw with Napoli, beat Chelsea, take anything from MCFC

agreed either chelsea or city will be a must win....we got newcastle after that as well who have been in good form

Played Fifa10 last night with Arsenal. Best starting 11 I could produce is:

          Almunia

Sagna Gallas Vermalen Clichy

         Fabregas  Song

Walcott      Nasri      Arshavin

                 RvP

Amazing how only 3 of those players are still at this club 3 seasons later.

If anyone thought the comments on this thread after the first game this season were funny, then check this out;

wow things change fast eh... some absolute gold comments in there

So for tomorrow night...?

              Szy

Jenkinson Mertesacker Koscielny Monreal (give Gibbs a break)

            Flamini Arteta (rest Wilshere)

Walcott      Cazorla      Ramsey (get Theo game time and give Santi some time centrally for forms sake)

                  Giroud

I'd hope to do an on the hour sub for both Giroud and Ramsey for Bendtner and Rosicky.

I'd throw Bendy out there again tomorrow i reckon

Napoli vs gunners live on espn on thursday....this must be the first time EVER all six of our group games have been live. win or draw please, really need to finish top of the group

What time is the game nz time?
