Arsenal beat Brentford 3-1 at the Emirates this evening thanks to two goals from Danny Welbeck and a late settler from Alexandre Lacazette. We didn’t have it all our own way though, as the Championship side made a good fist of the second half, but in the end we go through to the next round.

Flick the switch above Cech or Leno?
Since fixed, thanks 😉
Good job guys! What Man U cannot do, we did it.
We are talking about the result, Welbeck, Mkhi AND….even about the calibre of the new manager recruited post an ex-legacy manager’s departure, right? 😉
Absolutely right Sànde Class!
Leno way out of position for their goal.
10/10 for the Mike Dean description, but overturned by VAR on account of I can’t get it out of my head now and its making me feel a bit sick.
That stonewall pen that dean didn’t give, I can’t see how var wouldn’t have got it. It’s at the referees discretion to use it which probably means dean ignored the var official. Wouldn’t put it past him the fucker
Is it different than in the WC where the ref had to accept the VAR commitee decision?
Also Chelsea’s equaliser was offside. Maybe the FA and PL are against VAR because they’re just that dumb to use it?
I think it’s high time to say this: Mike Dean really is an……INSULT to his federation. 😛
Mike Dean is an insult to testicles
So you say that Mike Dean is a waste of….space? Do you really mean to say that THE Mike Dean is a waste of sperm….I mean waste of space?!?! :O
Our strikers in deadly form at the moment. 5 goals between 3 of them this week.
Always helps
Can we all sing against liverpool whenever Sturridge touches the ball “your just a shit Danny welbeck”
Oaahahahah! Brilliant!
I hope when we play Liverpool sturridge is actually on the field
I think you missed Monreal.
Added now
PIM PAM PUM!
Where is Nacho?
Nacho Nacho Man
Nacho Man Randy Savage
Nacho Cheese
Lacazette really is the best/most natural finisher we’ve had in a while.
Auba? 🙂
I think Laca has more… Panache!?
I’m still getting used to him having the ball in those areas and thinking “oh, well this will be a goal”
NACHO??
Leno – Well well… all those claiming he is good with his feet. Thought he could have done better for the goal too. Lichsteiner – OK considering few starts he has had to get up to pace. Nervously watching Lback. If Nacho gets knocked, I suppose Lichsteiner is cover. Mustafi – One poor pass (His usual quota) but otherwise solid. Some important clearances and block which the usual crowd will not give him credit for. Largely the Cbacks were decent. Holding – Another decent display. Not as good as everyone wants to believe but something for him to build on.… Read more »
It’s people like you who make me wish there was a character limitation in the comments section
A long time ago, I actually posted a suggestion to him: he has some interesting points, and if he just mentioned one or two players, people might get something out of it. Not a chance.
Ah thanks so much for writing all this, how would I know how every player performed if Santori didn’t tell me in such a matter-of-fact tone after every single match? I’d be clueless if it wasn’t for you mate, thank you.
Bonus rating: A+
Leno, good hands, good distribution, should have stuck a hand out at that free kick? Guandouzi, rated him 8 for pure heart, even though his foul led to the goal. Welbz, a classic header and then a tap in, nice ‘striker’ goals from him, though I think his level dropped in the second half. Mustafi, getting really tired of his mistakes, falling over for no reason at all in the first half, allowing some Brentford cunt to turn him so easily in the second! Miki, such a dangerous player! But really needs to add a greater efficiency and remove that… Read more »
Oh and Mike Dean is a fuckin cunt! Blatant penalty not given.. Yellows shown to our players for absolutely fuck all.. Fuck you Mike Dean you bald prick!
I think Smith Rowe’s number is 55
Very impressed with Danny Welbeck last night. As well as scoring two goals he never stopped working and harassing the Brentford players. Great work ethic. Also top marks to the manager for taking the game sriously with his team selection. We were sat just behind the dugout and he spent the whole game on his feet shouting and giving the players instructions,mainly to get forward and press the opposition. He seems to be a good motivator which can only be a positive thing.
Hate the new player ratings. Was so much easier before
Think Iwobi has to start ahead of Ramsey on the weekend and play Ozil at 10 or maybe not at all? I can’t shake that we’ve played some of our better football with our “b team”. We look more balanced when we don’t have to cram all our star names in.
Good to get a win, but with the lineup we played should have had a much easier time with them. All the stats (possession, shots on goal, etc.) were fairly even, but of course the one that matters is on the scoreboard. However, to be only a goal up with minutes left and an equalizer taking us to PKs at home vs a Championship side playing a veteran lineup (with two exceptions) should not happen.
cant see them, just keeps wiring!
This doesn’t work. On Chrome the switch won’t flick so if you try and vote to reveal player ratings, it just keeps chugging.
On Firefox, nothing but the intro text appears so not even a switch to flick!
