watch out for stoke

they love pulling out the big upsets those assholes

Yea I dislike Stoke quite a lot with their long throw in ballshit. Take bloody ten minutes each time as well.. I don't care that time gets added on at the end of the half, it's still boring as hell and a lot of the time leads to nothing.

I know it's the sun, but they never make Arsenal look good, so Arsha must've said it.

Maybe my 32 points were a bit of an underestimate.

Watch out Spork........ you've made predictions before.
It has been a very interesting session with a few more banana skins to be slipped on no doubt.

[Spork]

So you're saying that my predicting, turns the outcome of Arsenal's games? I doubt it.

[kilabee]

Keep putting the hex on them Lol

[Spork]

Keep putting the hex on them Lol

But then wouldn't there also be people praying for Arsenal's competition to put one past the mighty Gunners?

So it all gets canceled out in the end.

[maorifulla]

GO THE PHOENIX!!!

[R3DM@N]

Bring back Dadi

Ashley Cole is out for 3 months with a fractured ankle, make way for Bridge/Terry in Englands First XI.

[SteddieEddie]

Go Fabianski  :rnr::rnr:

[R3DM@N]

Porto > Arsenal

[kilabee]

And it looks like Sol Campbell will be back to help win the title. :rnr:

Looks like Sol Cambell will be back for some top quality back pass action :chuckle:
That was a Minties moment for sure

[Spork]

I swear to God Arsenal are playing without half a team most of the time.

All three of our first team keepers SUCK HORRIBLE AMOUNTS OF PENIS.

Then the rest of our team play decent one game and horridly the next.

[R3DM@N]

Yes, your Goal Keepers suck.

[Spork]

Yes, your Goal Keepers suck.

Just saw the second goal. That is absolute bullshit about the second goal. How is that legal? The keeper wasn't even in position!

Should not be legal. But definitely fucking dickhead goal keeping to be blamed. In a way I hope we win nothing this year, simply because of Wenger's poor decision making to not buy better players.

Fuck I could keep better than these idiots

[R3DM@N]

That minties moment was classic

[Spork]

That minties moment was classic

I don't really like Minties.

So would a minties moment be something like a facepalm moment?

Another rage influenced question.

How the fuck are you meant to be able to defend the second goal? I mean we had one defender back? And they had two strikers, Our keeper was pretty well next to the ball when it was kicked, and yet somehow it was allowed, I am happy to contribute toward a hitman to rid the world of this absolutely arse of a ref.

His two last games and he has made the two biggest mistakes I have ever seen made by a ref. First the world cup qualifier between France and Ireland 'hand of frog' incident, now this shit.

'It's a fucking disgrace!'

[Spork]

I still can't believe this shit.

Every time I watch the second goal I find more wrong about it.

- How in the hell were they allowed to take the free kick so quickly? On looking at it again, there was NO arsenal outfield player behind the ball, and Fabianski was next to the ball. if that's allowed, are teams allowed to take penalty kicks quickly? When the goal keeper is still arguing about how it 'wasnt a penalty'? Penalties are simply a free kick in the box without a wall.
Fabianski actually had his back to the fucking ball!

- The ref actually blocked Sol Campbell while Porto took the free kick.
- The back pass was unintentional, It seems as if Sol actually tripped onto the ball which was where he made contact with it.
-The Porto player was no where near the ball, so the back pass was not interrupting play.

Sure, you can call sore loser, and well we have an away goal so will quite possibly advance to the next round, but I do not see how the ref will get away with this, which I know he will.

Absolute fucking disgrace.

And it makes me just want to lay down on the ground and do this.

I love how Lampard takes one look at him and then just walks off.

EDIT: Oh yea, one more thing, definitely should have been a penalty for Rosicky at the other end just before their second goal.

Arghh, the fucking ref didn't even know what he was doing, I mean when a quick free kick is being taken, you are meant to hold your hand in the air, but oh wait, the ref doesn't even know they were taking a free kick and only puts his hand into the air when the ball is already past Fabianski and pretty well in the goal.

Credit to Porto though, they outplayed us, although I am used to that these days.

It is these sort of situations where I believe each team should be allowed to challenge the ref's decision per match. Sure it would slow down the match by maybe 5 minutes, but who cares, this is absolutely disgusting refereeing, and decisions as bad as this one have been made a thousand times before, yet these refs still get games.

[henno]

The back pass call was pretty dubious, but the rest of it is just tough luck.

The team is being penalised and shouldn't get an advantage,  there is no obligation for  the attacking team to  wait for the  defence to get sorted.

This is no different to quick freekicks in rugby.

I did wonder how they took the kick from quite a way in front of the place the offence toook place.  But the I suppose it's keepers fault as he held onto ball and walked it there.

Its Karma for when Fabregas hand balled against Liverpool

Arsenal will come back at the Emirates

I'm hoping for either a Liverpool win or a draw.

I really do hope Man City don't make the top 4 this year.
