Olivier Giroud is basically a god - perfect hat-trick tonight and has now put away a penalty for his 4th!

 

Wednesday were classic Pulis in the second half. Ten men and completely shit Reading down. Dull as dish water but still managed to grind out a point.

We started with a midfield of Shaw, Bannan and Luongo tonight. Shaw was sent off, Luongo got his 5th yellow of the season and Bannan picked up an injury so we’re probably looking at none of them being available at the weekend.

 

That Neymar chap is pretty good, huh?

 

We should have won that. Two sitters missed by Martial and utter stupidity by Ole not subbing Fred.

He wasn’t really that good tonight. Went missing after their first goal until we got a man sent off. We actually exploited his shittiness until Fred got sent off. Their whole left side was completely open at all times and we could have scored a few goals because of it.

 

I hate referees. Pepe got a yellow for leaning his head into a player and then Fred gets a yellow for what is actually the same thing but worse.

Consistency amongst decisions is completely out of the window.

 

It was a fucking bizarre decision to say the least.

 

Always preferred ping pong anyway

 

Starting to think that Arteta isn't the chosen one.

 

Good thread about how Ole fucked up last night while we were on top

 

Not great.

 

Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Ndombele starting midfield for the first time. Let’s go!

 

Wow some of the guys today just look dreadful.

 

It looks like a lack of desire in these group stage matches. The players don’t seem interested at all.

 

This game lmao

 

Davies has been straight butt

 

european nights baby lol

 

Lacazette

 

Fantastic to see Lacazette using his bi-monthly great performance on the second best team from Austria.

 

Should be more than 3-1. We could have reasonably had 5/6 so far.

 

Can't take too much away from tonight, but we would be much better in PL if Ceballos played as closely to the front three as he did tonight. Boy was playing some killer passes.

 

Does Arsenal even have a ping pong team? Bayern does. Wouldn't it be great if the two would meet in the Champions League ? I kinda miss those games against Arsenal and it doesn't look like they are going to happen in the near future, at least not with the football teams.

 

ESR is going to be such a great player. Every time I watch him play I get excited.

Arsenal have some of the best youngsters in the country, our future team looks so bright with Saka, ESR, Balogun, Nketiah, Nelson, Saliba, Tierney, Maitland-Niles and more.

Just a shame the first team is so crap right now. We've been badly run for years and probably won't be a regular threat to the other big clubs like United, Liverpool or Chelsea for quite some time.

 

Haha no we don't. Tbh football clubs over here don't really do other sports much. I know from living in Barcelona and seeing their handball, basketball etc teams that it's more common on the continent though.

Maybe you guys should drop down to Europa

 

Joe Hart might be starting the NLD

Kill me
