Hey Tim, I’m just wondering if you’re completely sure about the # of tackles attempted+successful by Arteta today. Could have sworn he gave two fouls today.

Btw love your work, long time 7am reader who recently decided to start commenting more regularly!

jerry good jordan

Fouling one of those cretins is deemed a success in my book

nuetral

Agreed Arteta gave away at least one FK just outside the area. It is something he tends to do once in every game, Anyhow, his stats looked impressive, he seems a solid midfield operator without ever looking to impressive, just consistent and reliable, just what we need at this time

7amkickoff

He gave away three fouls. This is a strange thing about the way Opta count certain actions. A successful tackle is one where the ball is recovered. A foul is just counted as a foul and not a blown tackle. Whenever possible they try to avoid counting things twice.

1- number of times Terry slips to make me laughing so hard that I fall of my chair.

(arYse)

”most goals conceded at Standford Bridge in Chelsea’s entire eight year history” VERY GOOD:-)

SamPye

2 – The number of times Arsenal fell behind in the match
0 – The number of times this affected their supposedly fragile metal state….

Now that we’ve got that out of the way we should continue our relentless pursuit of the top 4 place which is sure to be ours by the end of the season!

Sabrina

Ehm MENTAL STRENGTH!!

Hey, does anyone remember when Chelsea’s chariman said he’d hoped Chelsea would beat the crap out of Arsenal today? Let’s all laugh at that guy!

etteJ

That is quite effective by Arteta. Me likes.

GU1TAR-D3MON

7Am would you mind finding out other strikers game to goal ratios in th premier league for this Callander year? Just wondering because (this comes with a little bit of bias) I believe Van Persie is one of the best players in the world at this moment of not the world… And I know about the midget who comes from Argentina and that tall bloke from Portugal… But the midget has one of the best players playing around him so he is bound to score a bundle of goals (not saying that we don’t have a great team just saying… Read more »

Mario Gomez has played pretty well since the start of last season too, he deserves some consideration.

94 – Pass completion rate Mikel Arteta

Arteta … The Invisible Midfield General
I bow to you…. General Arteta.

100000000000 etc etc – Number of times I could watch Terry fall on his face like Bambi on ice and still laugh so hard that I fall off my chair.

7.5 billion – number of times I watched that chip where that cunt fell over (0;

1 – Number of tackles by Per the BFG that left Frank Turkey head Lampard on his arse!

2 – Number of 5 tackles André made before scoring 4 – Number of 6 tackles André made after scoring Does this mean Andre made 2 “5 tackles” before scoring? Which means 10 tackles? 2 – Number that resulted in a scummy cunt scoring a goal What did that number do to make a scummy cunt score a goal? 1 – Theo Walcott’s first Arsenal goal came against Chelsea (Carling Cup final) actually think the title is wrong there. Also, I would’ve been very interested to see percentages of possession and the pass completion rates as well as distance ran… Read more »

* by certain Chelsea players.

Meant to say wanted to see crossing stats for Chelsea as well, seeing as 2 of their goals came from crosses.

paddymac

2 – Number of 5 tackles André made before scoring
4 – Number of 6 tackles André made after scoring

This confused me also! And:

2 – Number of 5 attempted long balls completed by Ramsey

What does it all mean?!

paddymac

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying!

srbistuta

Can anyone make a gif of Terrys fall?

OzzieGun

Hi 7AM, great work mate, keep it up. Just wondering if you could provide stats on number of players who left arsenal to Man City versus their total minutes on the pitch? Is anyone a regular starter?

Mooro

Just seen the highlights on Arsenal Player.

He goes over like a pissed up old dear on roller skates. Nice one to add to the collection of the over-rated, wife shagging, racist chav slipping and missing his penalty then blubbing like a little girl.

Priceless.

Frode Grøtheim

Arteta actually reminds me a bit of Xavi. Incredible those stats today. If you actually look at it, I don’t see our forwards and midfielders as weaker than those of Chelsea. The only reason I have some belief in what Chelsea is doing at the moment, is because of their manager. At the face of it, they don’t really have the squad for expansive football. At Porto he had the magical partnership of Falcao and Hulk. In this Chelsea team there is not even something remotely close to that. And the defense? They have a long way to go before… Read more »

True Barca are the masters at what they do. But I think there’s a lot to be said for the opposition they play against every week.. and especially the pace of their games, which is no where near as fast as the EPL. Which makes playing a high-line pressing game much easier to pull off. Wouldn’t a proper Euro League be something ey?!

Spooner

Keep it down with the Barca loving mate! They may be good, but this IS an Arsenal site.. Have you forgotten how we were going through last year until that dodgy refereeing decision??

My GF wants me to take her to Barca to see the Gaudi works, but I’m worried it will be full of diving little cheats.

Bob the Gunner

simply stunning numbers by Arteta.

jacob

wow great game and puts us in the right direction. i think that that was a great team effort and nobody can say we are a one man team anymore. after all we have the racist fool jt to help us out in tough times.

Martin

1 – number of assists by RVP today..? Im pretty certain he didnt get an assist! song given assist for santos goal, walcott goal wasnt “assisted” as there was a breakdown in play when he tripped.

Tacklr

Haha… Very true.

Ghostofgoonerspast

Was just looking at our November fixtures and bar the man city carling cup game they are all,dare I say it, easy games that we hopefully should win if we continue to play as we are.!! COYG!!!

Double the mans wages and sign him for another 5 years.

Getting up again to watch MOTD, this is fucking great 5-3 and terry fucking destroyed

Benji

Anyone else say SUPER SZCZ singing “ITS THE ARSEEEENAAAALLLL” at the end? Gives me the chills seeing one of our own like that!

Goonerbob

Lol at the polish goalkeeping stat Jim. Quality.

Samir

I heard this was a good game, but I couldn’t see it from the bench.

I’m looking forward to getting some minutes in the Carling Cup. I just hope because we’re against a good team the boss doesn’t leave me out again.

Eric Irish gunner

Get clichy to move his head you might get a better view

BobT

In case anybody forgot, Terry fell over. I don’t think it will ever get boring, in fact it should be a significant part of the commemorative 125 year Arsenal collage at the Emirates.

TSOTIA

People, saw this classic comment on A Cultured Left Foot and felt I owe this house the chance to enjoy this: Tai Obasi, Lagos says: October 30, 2011 at 10:23 am The following transpired after RVP’s third and final goal at SB: PETR CECH(still on turf)- Capito, where’s the ball? JOHN TERRY(fuming) – For the fifth time, in the net, you crap! CECH( livid) – Me crap? What about you falling all over the place instead of… F. TORRES(intruding) – Please, what is a net? J TERRY(barks) – You should be interested in the opposite net, you 50-million-bag-of-garbage! JUAN MATA(shaking… Read more »

[…] hat trick, which is no mean feat, according to Robin Van Persie himself. Kudos to the man for scoring 27 goals in 26 games this year already! Match reports are available […]

Smeagol

11 – Number of mahoosive cunts Chel$ki started in the match

david seago

OPTA recording 1 successful cross is interesting, what do they consider a successful cross? one that leads to a goal? one that leads to a goal scoring opportunity? one that forces the opposition to give away a corner?

If anyone know’s then i’d like to know.

Because Walcott put 2 brilliant crosses in to Gervinho and RVP when it was 0-0.

david seago

Also, as a few people have pointed out, the Arteta passing statistics are quite similar to Xavi (except in volume). Which is great, he seems to be a similar type player. And i’d like to congratulate Aaron Ramsey on having a fantastic game, he seems to be playing a bit further up the pitch in recent games and i like it when he’s in and around the opposition box more. He looks like he’ll score goals aswell. he needs to keep geting beyond the opposition backline as he can finish. I’d like to see some 1-2’s with RVP on the… Read more »
