Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

Fuck me you need to get a grip with the random Arsenal hate

That was a bit of love. Was talking about Szczęsny's card for not seeing another ball had been thrown in and the RVP card against Barca for kicking the ball 1 nanosecond after the whistle had been blown.

 

[Ch3tan]

Oh referees, you do yourselves no favours.

 

[Calaen]

Looks like the chavs got away with a few tonight...

A few, fuck me it was a free pass tonight tbh.

[Raven]

Jebus. How many times can Ramsey say "you know" in a post match interview.

 

[soze]

That was a fucking important result. If my theory of Wenger only being able to spend if we qualify is true then this was a big step.

And I can seriously see him saying "How can i buy when this team wins a ga....." and making a cunt of himself. He cant help but feed the press trolls.

 

[Cerb]

You know.

 

[caLLous]

The question still remains about who he is intending to buy though... You can fuck right off flirting with Lamela.

 

[megadave]

They should buy Willian too

Honestly I have no fucking clue. But I do not have a scouting network and a number of people whose only job is to tell me who I need

And I still think Fellani and a Defender first before we look at attacking options. A 30 goal a season striker would be nice but we have gaping holes elsewhere that are far more urgent.

 

[Turamber]

Turamber do you have a team you are proud of again finally?

Very proud of the way we've played these last two games, away to two top four teams for our first two games of the season was always going to be a tough ask. But the players are playing well and the team is gelling. Lambert also appears to now know his best team and formation. Took a horrendous refereeing display tonight to deny us at least a point. The winning goal scored from an offside position from a freekick wrongly given by a player who should have been having an early bath. You couldn't make it up.

 

[Raven]

I think in some ways Wenger is right, the starting 11 is very good indeed but 11 players wont win a season.

 

[caLLous]

Their starting 11 isn't *that* good...

 

[Raven]

I dunno, free of injury I think it would do. But you can't play the same 11 all season.

 

[Billargh]

What a goal David Villa! Holy shit

 

[Billargh]

 

[megadave]

stunning counter attack goal, gif doesn't show the one touch passing from defence

 

[Billargh]

I just didn't want to break my own rule of "don't shout about a goal without some evidence", had to find this quickly

 

[megadave]

Yeah I was going to complain

 

[Ch3tan]

So Jose told the press, and the public that he won't make another bid for Rooney till after our game next Monday as its not ethical..... hey Jose, I see what you did there.

Wenger rules out any chance of Suarez, and is now allegedly targeting benzema and di Maria.

 

[caLLous]

"The transfer market starts for me now and a lot of activity will happen between now and 2 September. It starts now. It is like a poker game. People hold their cards as long as possible and see what is happening out there. In the end, they go for decisions."

Wenger was asked whether he was any good at poker. "No," he replied.

 

[soze]

on Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury…
It could be a bit longer than what I said. There is no surgery – it will be between six and 12 weeks.

That is much much better than the 6 to 12 months some people were saying. Roughly 4 times better.

 

[caLLous]

Is Koscielny's head broken? The physio described it as the worst cut he'd ever seen or something along those lines.

 

[soze]

45 minutes worth of stitches and a trip to hospital and he was allowed to fly home so I assume that means no Broken Skull?

But by all account you could see his skull through the cut and even though he thought he was speaking English he was speaking French and Sangna had to translate.

 

[eksdee]

Mental. Poor bloke, hope he's alright. Being allowed to fly is a good sign though.

 

[megadave]

Why would Arsenal even try with benzema? What a stupid waste of time

Desperation?

 

[rynnor]

Another - 'look how we tried' bid.

 

[soze]

I think it is they are getting Bale so he might not want to stay and sit in a queue bid.
