nastastic dint see hart coming... his eyes were totally on the ball. the only way u can fault him is by saying he should have cleared it away from the goal but why should he do that when he expects his GK to have more sense than a toddler to stay inside the D and hold his header.

if u think sturridge dint get slated on this forum, believe me u must not have EVER looked at the sturridge thread. he was so under-rated and ridiculed here that is embarassing. 50% of the people on here were "HAPPY" that he left and that we got ba as replacement. out of the rest 50%, half of them said that it was a good decision from the board as he had just 6 months on his contract and we sold him for 12mil, (what they dint take into account is the no. of goals he would have scored for us).

nut-megged clichy....

on the contrary... are we not BARCA'S KRYPTONITE... if arse-anal are the new barca then that just gives me even more confidence.

??? we lost to city at etihad courtesy of tevez...

i think mou had no option but to take out lamps. i remember a time in the 2nd half when lamps put in another of his hard-tackles and i realized he was already on a yellow. mikel was the most natural replacement from lamps. i expected more of mikel. i expected him to play like a man possessed and who came out and played with a point to prove. but i was suprised it was the same old mikel and what was worse was there were about 2 instances when navas went past him with mikel not even fouling him and one instance where fernandinho ghosted past rambo and him. for me, he was poor. he could have and should have done better.

walcott and podolski are back in training. many expected them to start against palace so that their main team could start against us. but now i think this match would be a comeback match for them

ozil played 3 matches in 7 days and in the next 7 days they have pool, bvb and united, which means their title credentials as well as their CL qualification is on the line. i truly doubt that wenger would risk any of those 2 for a COC match. podolski and walcott are back in training from what i have heard.

no essien would mean rambo because i would let lamps play his 4th game in 10 days even if this was the CL final, and god knows rambo has deserved a rest. same applies for JT. so it can be GC-DL combo, but i still feel mou would give kalas a chance.

what is wrong with trying to be "safe" when u r talking about a CB? we are not BARCA nor is jose trying to make us one. he is even instilling a sense of defensive responsibiblity among the likes of hazard. so we will always be playing "safe" there. GC is an average CB. his reading of the game is average, interceptions are average but in the box, he is very good. GC knows his limitations and he knows his strengths and he plays accordingly. he plays the odds when he keeps shying back from strikers into the box to make a last ditch tackle but atleast he makes the strikers earn their goal. i have no doubt that DL would have intercepted the ball that led to aguero's goal, on the other hand GC gave aguero 2 yards' space to take a shot from a very acute angle towards cech's near post - not as bad a thing as people are making out to be.

arsenal have pool, bvb and united as their next 3 fixtures. i think their front 4 + full backs + ramsey will be rested. as for us, i expect 11 changes. dont even see the point of playing any of the players who started today. we have a MASSIVE squad and if people dont get chances now, they never will. i honestly think both the teams will play their B teams.

i was waiting so dearly was this thread. we have to bloody murder those arse-anals. dont think wenger would be stupid enough to play his youth side against the likes of mata, kdb, willian etc, specially since 2 of those 3 plus ba/etoo have so much to prove to mourinho. the line up is pretty much decided according to me schwarzer azpi kalas luiz bert mikel essien willian mata kdb ba/etoo they ll probably line-up like viviano jenkinson ? ? monreal wilshere-flamini-frimpong walcott-bendtner-podolski decent team but we have to win this. no other way around it. and with the quality we have in the team that would start, we should be winning this.

surpassed my expectations today. was pretty decent. tackled really hard to compensate for his pace.

what has he done to rambo and torres is unbelievable. also his comments in the post-match were very subtle and shrwed. GOOD OLD MOU. i will never tire of saying this , he truly is the SPECIAL ONE.

WHAT THE FUCK IS JOSE DOING TO HIM!!! but kudos to floppes torres on his recent performances and form. atlast he is looking like the guy we wanted to but. a 50 million striker. and he is playing like a 50 million striker. the best thing about his performance was that even after him missing the sitter, his workrate dint drop, he still had the confidence to take players on, shoot the way he did and atlast he got some luck and deserved reward for his performance as a goal.

i dont have words, so i ll just do this

he is not LIKE A BOSS!!! he is the bloody BOSS!!!

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY...

mou's celebration for the goal was so awesome... hope he does not get into trouble for it.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A RESULT.... atlast some luck... very much needed luck, and what a time to get it... cech - poor by his standards to let that goal in. near post. one of those poor moments. but knowing cech, i expect 5 clean sheets in the next 5 games. 5/10 ivanovic - very good game. got well ahead and read the game brilliantly a couple of times. was very central in defence as both silva and nasri were pretty central. his moment against clichy when he nut-megged him was awesome. 7/10 cahill - same mistake. he is found out against good strikers. definitely not a WC defender but a pretty decent defender. his and JT's combo at the back is pretty solid and anything played into the D is dealt with brilliantly... 6/10 JT- another brilliant performance. he is showing that he is still our best defender and a WC defender at that. was beaten for pace once but cant think of anything other moment when he was in trouble. 8/10 cole - his best PL performance this season. was solid and supported hazard/schurrle brilliantly. he is slowly but steadily coming back to his own. 8/10 RAMBO - LIKE A FUCKING BOSS. what a performance. what a brilliant unbelievable performance!!! i have never seen yaya been subdued by another player , the way rambo did to him. just awesome. his ball to torres which he missed, his cross, his defendinf, running... i mean his EVERY-FUCKING-THING was brilliant. 10/10 lamps- played better than i and most here expected. was pretty decent compared to mikel who let silva and fernandinho run free. lamps put in hard tackles and complimented rambo well. 7/10 hazard - was good. took zabaleta/clichy on a few times. dint get as much purchase as i thought he would but a decent game nonetheles. 7/10 schurlle - pretty much the same as hazard. the only difference was, he got the all-important goal and tracked back way better than hazard. 8/10 oscar - very subdued. dint provide the link-up that was needed. but defensively was good. 7/10 torres - missed a sitter. went past clichy like he was not even there. hit the post like a shot so similar to the one that he scored against us with. (got on the wrong side of iva and curled it in, liverpool away, 2-0 defeat). he was direct, strong, pacy. his workrate was BRILLIANT and that is why he got his goal. to chase that ball down was like mou said "BELIEF". i have no idea what jose is doing to him, but god-damn, now he is looking like a 50mil striker. 9.5/10 subs - willian - was really sparky since he came on. a direct sub for schurlle. decent 20 odd minutes. 7/10 mikel - poor. u r a DM and u cant tackle and not just that, he let fernandinho and navas run past him so easily that it seemed like a joke. he has to get his act together to have a chance playing for mou. 5/10 etoo - not much time to do anything. but for his clearance which hit zabaleta and earned us the thrown at the end, i ll say he was good. N/A this has to be the result that will make us the favourites. arsenal will drop points in the coming weeks with the kind of fixtures they have, pool too and tottenham's luck will run-out sooner rather than later (how they keep getting those lucky calls for penalties is beyond me).

should have done better for the goal... he could have intercepted or he should have hassled aguero...he defo lacks that extra zing to be a WC defender. and is definitely found out against good strikers... still very solid in the D and him and JT are our best combo...

no suprises in our line-up. COME ON CHELSEA....

city going with 4-3-3. good. also no negredo. brilliant. what is our line-up?

MUST NOT and CAN NOT lose game. feeling very wary of this game. hope the players can put up a good show.

just saw his goal on MOTD. what a fucking goal!!!! brilliant, absolutely brillant...
