Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Cazorla, Giroud

I'm in a draw predicting syndicate, three of my four selections were draws yesterday and my other one is Swansea-Arsenal so I'm hoping for even stevens at 90 minutes.

I doubt that's going to happen.

Watching Swansea - Arsenal for a nice and welcome change of the study books! COME ON SWANSEA

 

[BlueStar]

I doubt that's going to happen.

Tadah! £125.79 for the syndicate from a £1 stake

Cristiano Ronaldo wore the captains arm band today and saved the game for Madrid.
He scored a great free kick and added another goal.
Adan got sent off in the 6th minute so Casillas came off the bench.
Cristiano tried to give him the captains armband when he came on the pitch but Casillas made him keep it.
Benzema scored in the second minute of the game.Adan got sent off.Sociedad converted the penalty Adan gifted them.Khedira scored a weird goal and then less than 10 minutes after that the Sociedad equalized.Cristiano then scored twice in less than 10 minutes and then less than 10 minutes after he was done scoring the Sociedad captain finished his hat trick and the game ended 4-3.
Cristiano was definitely man of the match.

Probably the craziest game I've seen this season.

I believe that would be because they are Arsenal. No offense meant, of course, they really just vanish, especially if there is the remotest chance of them winning silverware.

QFT!
But hey, no Euro/World Cup after this season, so the players don't have to play then too.
Still, the amount of games is pretty big.... Inhuman dare I say, not healthy.

Actually, the worst part [for me] was that it was Cole causing the problems. Also, Rooney's out for a while longer, but at least Vidic seems to be holding up just fine. The squad will endure through the wear and tear, I do hope.

Actually, I'm sure that as long as our squad has 11 players and there's a chance of silverware, they'll endure. Manchester United spirit and all that. Wahahahahaha.

Fuck yeah!

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 5 goals in 2 games this year(he's going for the record) he even got an assist.
Sergio Ramos got sent off cuz he's a dumbass and Iker and Modric had great games.
Cristiano will be suspended for the weekend against Osasuna.

10 men Madrid keep winning games I think Mourinho should just send out 10 against ManU.

Nice stats, gj CR07!
Glad to see Iker back on the pitch, where he belongs! Was it deserved that he sat on the bench a few times, or just another Mourinho powerplay?
Modric, good to see him play and succeed at least, will do Mourinho a lot of good too I think.

Forgot it was Utd against Real Madrid, looking forward to it now :o What a clash

Honestly Iker should've been benched sooner.
He looked complacent and just wasn't making as many saves as he usually does.
However when he finally got back on he looked like his usual self so it looked like it worked.
Modric has been inconsistent but I think he'll finally get a couple more games now.

In other news Di Maria is absolutely crap.

 

[Black-Ice]

Fucking Michu ;_;

Fucking Michu ;_;

I love Michu. He scores so many goals and he's not actually a striker.

He's a great catch for you.
If you had Arsenals board of directors, they'd already be discussing what bigger club to sell him to. And then how to not use the money...

I'm already looking forward to the hefty transfer fee we're going to get for Michu.

Liverpool will pay 30-40 million for him.
Because they're Liverpool.

I thought Liverpool's allergic to talent?

He would instantly tear his ACL and never be the same.

 

[Shinigami357]

Hey... the 18-19 Match is tomorrow. Somebody tie Suarez' hands behind his back. Wait, has he ever played against Vidic before [since Vidic was gone for a while from injuries]? I realize Vidic had a record of getting booked and whatnot against Liverpool before he got injured, though... Hm... Sucks that Rooney's still injured.

Also, LOL @ Liverpool fans who think Sturridge was sent by the football gods or some other delusional crap.

PS

This is so NOT a subtle jab at City... I swear.

In B4 Everton dick over Swansea.
