Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

That run inside the box from Rosicky deserved a goal. Great game for the neutral.

 

[soze]

Having watched the match, you were awful before that, and a slightly sour note was that bad refereeing calls do happen to every other team, they are no excuse for that performance. Villa were like the home side today and if I was an Arsenal fan, I would be furious.

Rosicky was your MotM however.

I am not pleased and not proud but Villa would not have won without the Ref. The draw is all either team deserved.

I hate Villa with a passion so I say this through gritted teeth, they'd have won that without any aide from the referee, don't be a tart and blame him as you lot were terrible.

Four shots on goal was it, as the home team? It was a pathetic performance my friend, I for one think that the ole' squirrel is going senile.

 

[caLLous]

The only positive is that Arsenal now cannot spend money.

Were you going for a double negative here or has Wenger brainwashed you?

They had the penalty shot on target before the second penalty did they not? They were hardly knocking on the door.

Yeah there should have been another not

Your keeper shouldn't have even been on the pitch after the first . Would have been more useful, he's an utter calamity.

 

[Embattle]

You hope, but what can he realistically get now.

Like i said my fear is Rooney for far too much every week.

 

[caLLous]

It pains me to say it* but I just don't know who there is left for you to buy and surely with other clubs knowing how desparate you are it's only going to inflate the prices of any players you show interest in?

*it doesn't pain me to say it in the slightest

 

[Embattle]

RVP really is a great finisher, although I wonder who else MU actually have else where to match or get near his level.

Same with spurs and bale

I know I think Wenger wanted last minute deals but a couple more loses and we are fucked everyone will add £10m. Plus playing the like champions league qualification is far from certain. And I can't help but wonder if qualification is what we are waiting for before spending any money.

 

[Raven]

1 more utd goal and I am £40 better off

 

[Sydrik]

did anyone not have RVP as their FF team captain

 

[Turamber]

The referee was indeed very poor for the Arsenal v Villa game, but he gave plenty of ridiculous decisions in Arsenal's favour too. How the goalkeeper with the unspellable name managed to stay on the pitch beat me, red card all day. Also the whinging from Wenger and the Arsenal fans about the challenges from the Villa players was pathetic. As long as it remains a contact sport where tackling is allowed then players with less technical ability but desire and workrate will close you down and, shock horror, stop you playing.

 

[Bahumat]

I said it all last season and it still stands. Danny Welbeck is turd.

*ahem*

 

[Bahumat]

He was the reason Swansea scored. His second goal was nice but it will be a one off.

Two off.

 

[Bahumat]

Oh you gotta be shitting me? Watch the 'first' goal he scores. He does nothing. The ball pretty much bounces off him.

Tackles are one thing but deliberately fouling a player after the ball has gone just to disrupt play is not ok but it is a common tactic and something that should be yellow carded every time. But you got away with it.

Seemingly Szcz stayed on because he allowed an advantage or something.

 

[eksdee]

 

[Embattle]

That is because you know Rooney was expecting RVP to pass it back and didn't but also then scored with it

 

[Raven]

Watching the game of the day, 1st penalty was 100% pen.

 

[Aoami]

Bloody lucky with the goal though. A tiny bounce in front of the keeper was enough for it to pop back instead of him getting a good hand on it.

 

[Raven]

Seeing pictures of Wenger in his dug out. I actually feel sorry for him, he is totally out of his depth.

 

[caLLous]

 

[Bahumat]

Wenger walked straight through the tunnel after today's game because he needed some space. He was later found in Arsenal's trophy room.

 

[caLLous]

Ouch, apparently* Chamberlain is out for at least 3 months with cruciate ligament damage.

Starting to feel sorry for Arsenal now.

*not from any "known" sources

 

[megadave]

Might put a cheeky punt on Arsenal failing to qualify for the CL, they're a fucking state.
