Fulham vs Arsenal: Match Thread.

Flamini and Hleb messed up their careers by leaving the Arsenal

 

Would actually prefer if Arsene gave Poldi a look at CF in the Fenerbahce game. Maybe played him 20-30 mins tomorrow, after taking Giroud off.

Podolski has still never started a match for us at CF when fit and healthy, as he is now. Even when he scored that brace playing up top last year, he was carrying a knock. Fener at home with a 3 away goal lead is a safe match to test such things out in.

 

I have the feeling we're in for a tough one tomorrow. Fulham have never been easy for us at the best of times and we are weak. I think we will struggle. I hope I am wrong.

 

Fulham 1 -1 Arsenal

Bent
Podolski

 

Ok I have to drive up to the ****ing darkest dimmest east Midlands today for a gig I'm playing tonight, so I'm not going to see the game. If somebody could arrange for Cym to go and have an hour long piss at around the half time whistle, then we should be fine for the second half, thanks

 

nah 3-1 to the Arsenal .

we have to expect to beat teams like Fulham if we are going to get anywhere .

think positve waves Moriarty...its a beautiful mother win , and its gonna be there.

 

Arsenal better suited to playing away from home. Big challenge without Koscielny though.

 

Podolski starting today.

 

Szczęsny; Jenkinson Sagna Mertesacker Gibbs; Ramsey Rosický; Walcott Cazorla Podolski; Giroud

 

Zelalem is on the bench...

 

Bench: Fabianski, Monreal, Frimpong, Zelalem, Wilshere, Gnabry, Yaya Sanogo

Anyone watching Tony Adams' analyzing the poor defensive display of our midfield vs. Villa?

 

Berba seems to have picked an injury in the warmup.

 

Interesting stat that doesn't necessarily mean what it indicates, but still... Conceded goals per game for Arsenal Keepers: 0.82 Seaman, 0.84 Lehman, 0.91 Almunia, 1.2 Szczezny (an average out of ~80 games).


I would say that Almunia has had to work with worse defenders at times compared to Szczezny.

 

So Almunia really wasn't all that bad, or Szczesny is abysmal.

 

Neither are Arsenal quality, and I've said that about Szczesny throughout... His problems are not mechanical, but his decision making hasn't improved even a bit in those 80+ games, so I don't hold much hope of things changing this season.

 

Come on you gunners!!

 

good to see the Pod starting at last

 

1-0 Giroud, got in the way of Ramsey's shot and scores.
