Terrific game. Everton were really bloody good. Draw certainly a fair result.

Ha never mind Arsenal I'm starting to think we can win this thing!!

Only messing, we won't.

Only saw the last few minutes, the bar was rammed with Arsenal supporters (Of course) they applauded the final whistle as though they'd been through the ringer for 90 minutes. Lukaku should have buried his chance in the last minute, but how close was that form Giroud ? Fucking hell.

Will probably watch the whole thing later on a site that hosts full matches. Great week for us. Hopefully we don't do our classic collapsing act by dropping points against Fulham and Swansea.

Arsenal look real contenders, next week will be huge.

 

[oh shit]

Fair play to Martinez, that was great stuff. The kind of football Rodgers promised (and we were more at it last season than this). Deulofeu is some player. Great goal. Barkley as well. I like this Arsenal team but they'll be lucky to get through to January without some key players getting knackered. B team for Napoli? Only have to not lose by 3 goals...

you will be delighted when you see the first half. They were all over us.

The times was reporting yesterday that AW has agreed a 3 year deal.

Quite underwhelming performance last night. Hope it was a case of trying to contain Napoli and not overtire themselves for City on Saturday rather than a genuine problem with fatigue.

Guarunteed a tough draw in the second phase now too. Though I imagine that most of the top seeds would prefer to avoid us on Monday as well.

Trying to contain Napoli at home is exactly what you're not supposed to do. A few teams in Serie A have gone there and attacked them and thusly come away with points. If they'd panicked less in front of goal your lot would be in the Europa league this morning.

The results were fair over all. Napoli were very very marginally poorer than Dortmund and Arsenal. Hopefully BVB get some of their big players back before the next round and start looking like themselves again. If I were an Arsenal supporter I'd be praying to avoid Athletico more than anyone else. The form their in and the style they play is exactly the kind of side Arsenal could struggle against. Oddly enough I think the best draw for them could be Real or Barca. That's just a feeling i have though, but it'll be fucking tough either way.

Henry was on Sky last night and said similar.

Arsenal owe Barca a hiding. Koiselnly and Mertasacker could have the beating of Neymar so I'd relish that one.

I thought Mignolet was keeping enough clean sheets for my fantasy football, so I stuck Szczczcny in instead. That worked out well.

Yeah. A good option is one keeper from a strong team, who won't concede against lower half opposition, and a cheap keeper from lower half opposition for cagey matches where there won't likely be many goals.

My second keeper is Shay Given. Yep. Forgot to sub him out when I inevitably played my wildcard a couple of weeks into the season. Yep. This is the point where I begin to lose interest.

Chin up, Gooners. Spurs are getting undressed in their own gaff. By Liverpool! Dear me.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

They won't beat Bayern, right?

 

[Unicron]

Probably not. We used to have one good night when we played Pep and Barca, and the same again when we played Bayern last season. Maybe the best we can hope for again.

 

[Unicron]

We played some super stuff today, and were totally dominant throughout but until the last 20 it was a really uncomfortable game to watch.

Should have been 3 up before half time but couldn't finish.

 

[Hector Grey]

I put Giroud in my fantasy team, and fucked him up. But you'll be glad to hear i've removed him again. Sorry about that, Arse.

 

[Hector Grey]

You're welcome.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Arsenal playing hoofball in the final minutes here. Not pretty and not smart.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

What are they gonna do without Giroud?
