“0 – “Good chances” either team had in the first half”
Well, that’s counter-intuitive to say the least. How is a penalty kick not a good chance?
I can only assume a “good chance” was ultimately not a goal.
It says ‘good chance’ not gift!
The “missed” is implied? I hardly think so. If you are right, then I think UEFA should just call it a “good chance missed” and not misleadingly a “good chance.”
You’re actually not assuming that, you’re deducting it.
(ducks)
100 – percent “good chance” that even UEFA’s statisticians are idiots.
Every Arsenal fan needs to have as much fun with this as I did!

O. My. God. LOL!
hahahahahahahahaha
whew!
its 9am, I’m at work, and this made my office dance!
That is brilliant old boy! I’d like to see a Santos version so we can see the cuddly maverick display his wonderful Samba moves.
lol, outstanding. That just took up 10 mins of my day. Off to troll the spuds forums now.
“you’re playing on thursday night??….” then add that link.
Done.
“do the wenger”
you have killed me Nate…death by funnies.
I did have some fun with that. About three years ago.
Love the stats.
I think you missed Shots per goal for Gervinho 2012-2013 – 3.7
10 – the number of games we have been unbeaten in France, right?
5 – unbeaten games so far this season.
We have been beaten in France once –
No – you’re right, we’ve only been robbed in France.
It’s 9 games I think.
100 – percent chance that UEFA is full of cunts.
1 number of goals conceded by VM in 3 Games (and that was a pen).
Chessers time to up your game.Competition for places is what we need.
3 – Number of times Joe Hart threw his toys out the pram in Madrid.
Love the stats, Tim!
3- the number of games wenger is likely to miss at the start of next seasons champions league
0- the number of reasons for said suspension.
0- number of times suspending wenger has succeeded in stopping Arsenal progress from the group stage.
You cant stop us Platini you cunt.
1.5 – the length, in inches, of Platini’s penis
10- number on arsenal shirt i’m so waiting to welcome back.
1- Number of heartattacks diaby gave me with that failed turn in the box.
He was found in a similar situation after some minutes but this time he cleared it right off.
Verminators stare of death I suspect was behind all this.
I was watching the game at 4.30am in Australia and falling asleep just before that moment because I was confident we had the game in the bag… then Diaby did that. Oh my god I almost threw my laptop out of my bed.
Hehe dude lol. That’s what we all need sometimes, a memorable moment. Diaby a beast, nonetheless.
Yanga mbiwa, what a fucking arsehole, it’s like he was out for girouds blood.
Don’t touch that gentleman you prick!
And we should really try to find a way to deal with yaya toures bursts going forward. That guy can acclerate from 0 to 100 in a matter of seconds. Watching the madrid game now, and for the first goal he absolutely flew past marcelo. Citehs main strength is mainly with counter attacks and they will punish you my friend. Come sunday I hope we take the game to them but use the highline with caution, the offside trap is great but we have cunts for linesmen im the epl so gotta keep it tight back there. And now that… Read more »
Too bad, el cunt just managed to hamstring his bloody self. I doubt he will be in the line up for our weekend fixture
And I love CR7. Yes. I do now fuck off.
Now, i would reaaly like to get to know the origin of “jesus” stat.
I do not think that any Arsenal fan should have any feelings for that (greedy, sulking, narcisstic, ex-united) cunt.
I think it was a joke
I think it was tim trying too hard.
They were some impressive stats. For CR7, I mean. I don’t have any actual data on Jesus. Like UEFA, I just made that stat up.
I realise it was a joke. In my childish way I simply refuse to be amused by any joke that somehow flatters Cristina R. For some twisted reason he’s at the very top of my hate list, among the few and rare john terrys of the world. @7amkickoff – sure he’s stats are impressive. I just choose to ignore it. Imagine joey barton scored a hattrick against chealski – would you compliment him? Of course not, unless he broke terry’s spine in progress. And managed to jizz on abramovich face while scoring the last goal. And got so excited that… Read more »
A very strange feeling: despite Abou’s attempts to gift a goal to Montpelier, and Per’s failed lunge, I was less than concerned about us conceding another goal in the dying minutes of the game. I just thought it was never going to happen.
Good thing it didn’t. A deserved win for the Arsenal.
[…] 来源:[Arseblog News] […]
WENGER OUT! Another goal conceded, this isn’t good enough.
[…] *As always, stats, even simple ones like “shots” depend largely on who is counting. […]
Diaby back to his usual self, a f’in liability!
Couple good games and everyone is going crazy, when his number of good games surpasses his bad games, then I’ll admit I was wrong about him.
