Qq
love it
would be interested to see rosicky’s stats a la rambo, chamakh and yossi. presume they’d look pretty poor but even so i think it’s widely accepted that we’re a solid proposition with thomas bustling around the midfield
here’s to thrashing wolves on boxing… bollocks, i mean xmas tuesday or whatever the fuck it shall be called
he will break that record! come on RVP!
2-no. Of refs i would like see to officiate a match Andrew marriner(he booked manu players at old trafford and we won 5 -3 at chelsea when he was officiating) and Victor Kasaii.
Again Ramsey needs rest so he can avoid injury and bring back in him those lofted balls over the top like the one he provided gervinho.
Great work again with the stats.
Well, won’t mind Mark Clattenburg. He gave us a penalty at OT when we were 2-1 down that Robin missed and he even dared to send off Evans against City at OT.
On-target shots, pass completion rate, key passes made, distance run etc for the Ramsey vs Chamakh vs Yossi would be nice. Gives a bit more context.
Thats some prediction for RVP for 20111 think i might have a punt on that!
Hmmmmm ramsey just has not had the rub of green! He is not doing well enough though he is still qualify. I think a rest is long over due got him! Lets save him for end of the season g games when things get thick
[…] just spent the last 4 hours creating my By the Numbers post over on Arseblog News. Why can’t I just do something […]
Where do you get Birmingham Villa from? :/ Aston Villa is based in Birmingham, but not called Birmingham Villa. Birmingham City and Aston Villa are two different teams. But of course, you know about Birmingham City 😉
pfft you’ll be telling us there’s no such team as west coventry albion next
Can’t understand whether you are being Sarcastic or not….but pretty sure Birmingham villa is aimed at Alex Mcliesh and his brilliant style of play.
100 – Percent chance that you will offend everyone in the greater Birmingham area if you refer to Aston Villa as “Birmingham Villa”
Also, just read this, good troll Sir, good troll.
Who gave 7am the hump ?
Hope RVP does it with wolves and QPR next it’s possible
I enjoyed the reaction to the Birmingham Villa blog. You know you’ve upset them when they call themselves “Martin Taylor”
I hope Robin is still playing for us in 20111.
100 – Percent chance that Harry Redknap could not see his own pecker in the shower today.
so funny
“94 – Percent chance someone will say I’m “slaughtering” Ramsey for pointing out his poor run of form”
===
Very true. I did the unthinkable and said just as much yesterday on this forum and was vilified by several posters (who seemed to take my suggestion to bench Ramsey as a personal affront).
As 7am Tim pointed out in his blog today, this has nothing to do with hating Ramsey or saying he’s a rubbish player or anything like that. We all have an enormous amount of respect for Ramsey for his courage, work ethic, and potential.
Great work Arseblog. We spent all day arguing about Ramsey and now you’ve come to clear the air. Let us not kill this young man by putting too much burden on his shoulder. Ox shows when he comes into the team because he is always fresh. We all love the Arsenal…but for now, I dont think Ramsey is good enough to be our playmaker.
It’s 7amkickoff’s Tim that wrote this piece actually! He does the By The Numbers posts.
I think it’s more that it seems a bit unfair for Rambo to be constantly singled out as he is. He’s our youngest regular starter (I think, not sure about the big Pole), and is actually really quite good. Fingers could easily be pointed at other players who haven’t clicked recently – Theo & Commander Worf haven’t exactly been flush with goals, and they’re supposed to be strIkers in a 433. Additionally, did anyone notice that when Theo tried to get in a scuffle with the lino a couple of weeks ago, it was Ramsey – his junior – who… Read more »
Benayoun should def play in next game
Dude, why did fucking slaughter Ramsey with these stats?
heh
Well, my problem was that, when ever every one would have a prob with Rambo, they’d say when Jack is back Rambo will be his back up. But if you look at his last year’s stats, he had 2goals that Rambo already has in 49matches and also 9 assists, while rAMBO HAS 5 already and 5 pre-assists. And he has less due to wastefulness of Theo and Gerv.
115 – Number of goals RVP has scored in the arsenal shirt. That ties Alan Smith’s record. He’s only 5 goals away from tying Bergkamp’s 120 goals and from entering the top 10 all time Arsenal goals scorers list.
Phil Dowd, Howard Webb, Chris Foy, Mike Dean, The Moss guy, Atkinson. Well already got 6 scary refs.
not sure I see the connection between the choice of referee and the passing average…

its a 1 time thing.
8 – Number of pints sunk by Alan Hutton in the hour before the match 12 – Number of double whiskeys sunk by Alan Hutton in the same time period 45 – Number of times Hutton growled ‘ehVunPershie, ye cheetin’ tulip eatin’ Arshynal cuntye, ahm tellin’ Aleksh all aboot ye, and ye can shut yer mooth as well, Vermaelen ye soft Belgian chocolate shite” repeatedly, like an overdosed Glaswegian street botherer, on his way off back to the bar. 125 – Pigs spotted overhead when McLeish greeted like a wee bairn “aboot that cheetin’ cunt Van Persie, fer gettin’ ma… Read more »
luvin’ the Scots dialect wih that’un. 😉
I was thinking about Ramsey the other day. I don’t think he’s been playing at all badly overall, but with his lack of scoring gusto maybe it would be an idea to put Arteta in his position & pull Ramsey back with Song? Having said that I guess Arteta hasn’t scored much more…
