Nacho over Gibbo again?
This puzzled me too.
While Gibbs has been really good this season, it can be said that he lost his place after the last injury. Monreal came in and did a decent job, so I’d think that the LB position is Monreal’s to lose.
The very much can be applied to Vermaelen’s case, he came in and has performed well for a few games but then he got himself injured again (which coincides with Koscielny’s return), I’d reckon that this will motivate Gibbs more.
Regardless of who’s playing, we support the Arsenal as a whole, so COYG!!
Most likely Gibbs isn’t back to full fitness and with the upcoming fixtures .There will be some rotation in that spot. nacho is a good player but he hasnt done enough to displace Gibbs who has been near flawless this season.
LETS CUNT THEM IN THEIR BASTARDS! COYG!!
Well ,COYG anyway, nacho is a gooner so let’s beat them. Gonna go to a local with a mate of mine now and he is a Liverpool fan. Hopefully the drinks will be on him 🙂
Hope poldi shows the power of his left foot as an impact sub.
I realy don’t think that would be neccessary largely because I know we would have putting the game to bed before poldi’s arrival, so he just comes on to enjoy himself without any real pressure. COYG
Moosrse
Surprised gibbs didn’t start! Let’s hope Wilshere has a good game because mostly he is quite rusty in his first game after injury. COYG
Buzzing about the game today! Really like the look of this line up. Out of interest does anyone know whether Gibbs is still carrying a knock or has Nacho over taken him in the pecking order?
Another 2-0 please..
a 5-0 wouldn’t be too bad either.
I can’t effing wait! Gonna follow at work! COYG!! FOYS!! hashtag yermom
Gibbo should have started so as to deal with the pace of sterling
Monreal is quick himself
Two nil to the Arsenal!
Good one!!!
this game is surely winable!!! COYG!!!!!!!
That pool lineup doesn’t worry me.
0-2
Is Gibbs still not 100%?
Wait the game is in like 45 min!? Showed what I know over here in Nor Cal. Guess I’m staying up late! Its four am for me! LETS GO GOONERS!
Hey man I feel your pain, I’m from So Cal. Luckily I’m in college on the East Coast so I’m significantly less tired watching this game!
No Rosicky and Gibbs. Well this sucks. Sorry but I thought those two were essential in this game.
That has to be the shortest Liverpool bench ever. At least regarding name length.
Wotts up arsehole blogg?
Monreal will get slaughterd for pace,
Podolski should have started instead of wilshere,
What’s wengers game plan, to come from behind?
God help us.
you actually called it What the fuck?????????
Hush we need optimism, 3-1 bitey to score a consolation for them at 60min.
Ox playing on the right?
2-1 gunners
Fuck!
Just following this horror show on arseblog and this is why we are not considered title contenders – 3 nil down already and it is turning out like the game at man city!!
This is fucking shit !!!!!!!!!! What the fuck are they doing ???????????
Keep thumbing down u wankers..
4nil down already…
So…yeah. 4 goals inside 20 minutes? I’m going the fuck back to bed. Sorry guys
got a few beers in for 3 live games (I live abroad now).
Gonna drink the lot by half time I think.
Stunned.
Big hairy lesbian mammoths bollocks to this…
Its amazing ain’t it? you look at the bench and see Bendtner just what we need to turn this fucking game around eh? hahaha
Only the first of supposed hard games? bottlers!
I wonder what Arsene thinks of his ‘
strong squad’
i think he thinks they’re top of the fucking league and this is just a bad day at the office.
Unbelievable. 4-0 down so fast; it’s not even them being great, it’s us being sh!t. I wouldn’t have minded if Suarez scored with that 30 yard volley but all the rest were poor goals to concede.
Stunned.
I may add, thinking positively we will probably go out and crush Utd midweek.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck, arteta, monreal omg!!!
Interesting to hear the end of Arseblog’s podcast yesterday taking the piss out of supporters that were pessimistic in the knowledge there was a good chance Wenger might nause everything up. Shows how full of shit and out of touch he is really.
1 – You missed the point entirely.
2 – If you think I’m that full of shit, why the fuck are you listening?
So what was your point then? To me, you were making the assumption that some fans and bloggers are doom merchants for having an opinion contrary to yours. Bet you feel silly right now, cos it sure makes you look silly.
I don’t have, and never have had, any issue with whose views differ to mine. It was about the podcasts whose sound quality is terrible. As it was the Angriest Man on Twittercast, one ‘guest’ wanted Wenger out.
The joke was about sound quality, not opinions. I thought that was obvious.
giroud has been poor lately and that first half was embarrassing for him. we need pace upfront to break out.
Still top . Please dont shake the ladder.
This is one of those games that looks like Wenger has tanked and can’t take arsenal to fucking gloryland anymore. February has begun and taken off in typical fashion like in the last 9 fucking years!
Monreal has been atrocious. It’s not only him. The midfield is leaking like a basket. No intensity from anyone. We were not up for the fight in the first half as usual but this is not Crystal Palace. This is a team that will punish you for switching off.
And it’s 5-0. We are making Sterling into a world class player right in front of our very eyes
5 nil. wtf
Man city game was bad but atleast we had a go at them. This has been a disgrace.
Hey, things are looking up. We had a shot at goal!
The only question from this game is not if we’ll score a consolation goal, but if we’ll have a SHOT ON TARGET!
Maybe Sczcensny should have shut his big, wide mouth about how he loves Anfield.
PS: So Podolski is behind Wilshere, Rosicky, Ox and Gnabry in the pecking order. And that’s not counting the undroppablelike Ozil, Carzorla and Ramsey. The only offensive player Podolski is above is Ryo Miyaichi. Wow.
5 nil and still trying to be surprised BTW
Do we always have to wait until 30 mins to go before making changes
Utter disgrace. & for all you ‘calm down and don’t overreact’ Gooners, if you can’t overreact after a 5-0 (and counting drubbing) when can you overreact?!! The manager is to blame, pure and simple. Another season where we’ve been so close but this time, closer than ever before in the last 8 years and all that was needed was a few key boosts from the transfer market and he fucks it up. If and I hope it’s a massive IF that causes me to eat humble pie, we go out of the FA cup to those scouse monkeys. out of… Read more »
This is the kind of result that gets you fired in other clubs.. not arsenal. Yeah, here you get rewarded with fucking 24 mil!
WILL THESE FUCKING PUSSIES TAKE A SHOT WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY SMOKING AT EMIRATES????????? WENGER A NEW CONTRACT IMMMIDIATERY!! LOOOL A JOKE
I love how a couple of rank average players like Giroud and Arteta have achieved cult status amongst fans. Arteta is hands down the most pointless player on the team sheet. A poor man’s DM. A crab, side ways passer extra-ordinaire. There’s NOTHING Arteta does that Denilsh*t couldn’t do. But he’s still a fan favorite …. the “lego man”! LOL. Giroud is going on 28. He’s slow and rank average and has NO potential for improvement. He’s not suddenly going to be a world beater at age 30. But not to worry, he’s an “HFB”! LOL. The almighty BATTLE for… Read more »
Some people’s stupidity amazes me. The same players you are bashing have kept us top of the league against Citeh and Chelshi for large parts of the season and now they are all useless. Lose one game, one poor performance and it’s as if the world is ending. Today’s score only proves the condition of players today. Liverpool is 4th, we are 1st, our team has been playing better. Today was an off day.
The ONLY table that matters is the one at the END of the season, boy.
We WERE leading the table in spite of some of the players we deploy. Just the same way, we led the league in 2008 up till February with Denilson, Almunia and Gallas in the team.
Keep deceiving yourself if you please.
Arsene Knows Best, Arsene is a god and Arsene should stay at Arsenal for another 30 years!!!
Actually, February has usually been an ‘off month’ for 8 years and counting..today may not just be an ‘off day’ like you put it.
The comeback is on 5-1!
but seriously this is a real reality check. We won’t win the league. But we can still make the top 4 and win the F.A cup. So lets get behind the team.
one bad day at the office and we’re out of the league from our own fan? scoreline was different (thanks to three! off the post) but city had just as bad a day at home to chelsea.
we can win the league. i hope we rest players that need rested for bayern when its fa cup weekend. its not the priority. league/champions league. then fa cup. its not about 8 years without a trophy, its about being in the title race.
