How on earth do Arsenal lose to Bradford City?

Cause we are crap! Can't believe Arsene said that the players gave their all....Making a mockery of the fans once again. I'm getting bored with Wengers excuses.

Young Aussie Curtis Good, on loan from Newcastle was supposed to play in this game.

Yeh, I read that leading up to the game antman. What happened, why didn't he play?

Sorry, not sure if he played or not! I heard about it on SEN last night. Maybe someone can enlighten us.

He played in the FA Cup against Brentford in the match that fnished 1-1 however due to the loan paperwork not being in on time Bradford have been kicked out and Brentford awarded the tie and advance to the next round. He was an unused substitute against Arsenal. He is eligible to play in the League Cup due to Newcastle being out of the competition and also because he did not feature in their League Cup campaign.

I saw that they got back in after an appeal. How does that work the FA govern the game and have rules in place yet when one gets broken they first banish a club from thecompetition then let them back in afew days later. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Lack class. Theo taking corners show's how far they've fallen. In the last 15mins had Theo, Gervinho, Rosicky in attacking positions, none of whom are genuine finishers. Good at creating but final balls are usually poor.

Pending a miracle can forget CL qualification. I imagine this is how Spurs fans feel.... Europa Cup here we come.
My kingdom for a striker; oh RVP how we miss you...

If Theo wants to be a striker how about trying to 'hit it' when set-up in the box and not attempt self-nutmeg set-ups to fellow midfielders. God save us. And taking free kicks outside the box over the Spaniards or Podolski. ???

Despite this the Arsene miracle arises.
 
COYS!!!

One can only hope that Sneijder transfer deal is true. Still lacking that magic in the middle of the parr, hopefully Dembele can produce it in the second half of the year. But Sneijder would be the perfect replacement for Modric.
 
Chelsea/ Everton was a really entertaining game the other night. Everton could consider themselves unlucky not to get something out of the game. And no Fellini. They're a very good side.

Man U need to drop a few games to get some in interest back in the title race. The buggers are just too damn good.
 
Man Utd appear favourites to get wizz kid Wilf Zaha from leysy's Crystal Palace.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4735911/Wilfried-Zaha-set-for-12m-Man-Utd-deal.html

The good news is that wherever he goes he will be loaned back for the rest of the season as we attempt promotion.
 
Are Palace a show at getting back in the EPl.

Which other 2 or 3 clubs are also vying for promotion Leysey i admit i dont pay that much attention but i do like to see the promotion relegation dramas.

Croydon Palace are a shot :nodyes

Cardiff have a big lead but were dumped out of the FA Cup by non-league Macclesfield Town on Saturday :fing32

Most of those in and around the playoff places are the usual suspects, except for Millwall :theyareontome

Even Leeds, Forest and the Blackburn Nuggets, who have all had three-ring circuses lately, are still within striking distance. :wavey

Jenkinson knocked back loan spell at Palace to assist apparently.
 
Really poor 1st half by Liverpool last night. What a player RVP is :clap

The 2nd half was much better. Rodgers change in tactics and the introduction of Sturridge gave Liverpool more options and a shift in momentum. We never got the 2nd goal we were pushing for but it showed we can match the big sides when things gel.

How many times have we said "poor first half" this season?

Rodgers has no idea when picking his initial starting-11 and tactics and it takes a few changes then to try and rectify things.

Starting his favourite (Joe Allen) and then subbing Lucas off instead of Allen was criminal.

At least he saw the light and put Sturridge on but it was all too little, too late.

We showed ManU far too much respect and should have started with Henderson instead of Allen and Sturridge/Suarez up front....especially when old whiskey-nose wheeled out Vidic and Ferdinand in the centre of their defence.

Yeah, when we gel we can play o.k but the fact is that we have not beaten any team in the top half of the table, is a damning stat for Rodgers.
 
I'm amazed Man Utd are 7 points clear that centre of defence is slow and ageing and their midfield isn't strong. If RVP was still at Arsenal United may not have even been in the title picture.
 
sturridge looked great with suarez up front when he came on

with a bit off time together i can see that pairing creating some teams alot of trouble

they may even help liverpool finally beat a top 10 team this year


i follow united , they need to bring in the next lot of defenders, vidic and ferdinand are done
