Arsenal vs Fulham: Match Thread.

Lets compare:

Winners in Bold

Howard - Szczesny
Baines - Gibbs
Distin - Mertesacker
Jagielka - Vermaelen
Hibbert - Sagna
Neville - Arteta
Osman -Cazorla
Fellaini - Wilshere
Mirallas - Podolski
Pienaar - Theo
Jelavic - Giroud (A draw here)

So we do have the better side.

 

Penalty Takers IMO in this order
Podolski, Arshavin, Arteta, Walcott, Giroud

 

If you base it on current form though that list would look very different

 

I'd put Mert in that list. He is German after all.

 

We have better players. Everton have the better team.

 

Would swap out Verm with Kos. The thing is we have a good squad but we just need to find how to make them be deadly.

 

I was doing starters. Verm is captain therefore a starter

 

I hated the adebayor chants mate ... or the rvp ones ... and the campbell ones ... never understood the point of abusing the **** out of campbell cos he may or may not have been gay when there was plenty of reason to dislike him for being a lying, money grabbing ho!

I would not defend those chants - or those that chant them - nor the wenger ***** ones ... always told my kids some things are banter and some things aint and encouraged them not to go along with the crowd.

sorry for the by the way ... I went all teen for a moment

 

He's 8th in my list behind Santi, and Wilshere

 

On current form, when Gibbs is fit I'd put the armband on Arteta and bench Verm

 

I think that penalty miss summed up our season so far.

Plenty of opportunities to put games to bed and we just seem to press the self destruct button. We were two goals ahead again today, then had to come from behind, then presented with a chance to win the game again and we blow it.

It's frustrating, but like last season, if we can arrest our own mistakes, then this team is not in bad shape.

 

I dunno, I would take Jagielka and Distin at this moment in time. Also Fellaini would be useful, although I doubt he could displace our 3 mids. He wouldn't need to though, we always have someone out.

 

This Villa/United game has been so bad. There has not been a SINGLE chance for either team.

 

Villa had a great chance but a **** didn't play Ireland through, ****ing up the chance.
That being said I think Villa could nick this in similair fashion to Blackburn's win at Old Trafford

 

I'm curious as to how United are top. They haven't played well all season.

 

Utd are unbeaten in 16 games at Villa Park, and villa have had much better teams than this in that time

 

Apart from the massive let off when Scholes lost control of the ball outside his pen area and gave the ball away to Villa. Fortunately for Utd their 12th man blew the whistle to save their blushes

 

Not going to lie Ireland is good, still don't understand why City let him go.

 

RVP will nick it when he gets a half chance. That's what world class players do, shame the ****s on our board do not understand that.

 

1-0 Villa

Great Goal
