UCL: Marseille vs Arsenal | Wed 19/10/11 @ 19:45 ITV1

[ibby]

Our first clean sheet since Milan '08 apparently. Well in.

Nah. Away?

 

[Gunner_JT]

Yep, excluding the playoff games against FC Twente and Celtic.

 

[VancouverCanuck]

I'd be hugely disappointed if I were an OM fan because Ramsey was left all alone at the edge of the penalty box. But since I'm a gooner, I'd just say that was a superb finish.

1-0 Arsenal

Also, I made fun of Djourou when he was getting ready to come on. But he did play well considering RB is not his natural position. So full credit to him.

 

[Eirico]

Can't believe we have 7 points after the first three games. We have played three very poor games, but our defense has been good and we've taken our chances in the other end. The general play has been ****.

Excellent result. There is no better feeling than to win a game in the last minute. I'm happy for Ramsey too, he was ecstatic.

Marseille were shut out by Mertesacker/Koscielny, and I thought Kos was superb. He sniffed out plenty of dangerous situations and defended well.

Thought Djourou did quite well at right-back, surprisingly. Had some great one-twos for a centre-back.

Aye, give the bloke a lot of stick but Kos played another blinder in the CL, he lives for this competition.

Think Song and Arteta done a good job too, Song picked up an early yellow so Arteta made sure to close down and help Song do the all the dirty work, which is usually abandoned when Song cannot do so.

 

[ebouenolike]

Surprised some of the cheery souls on here aren't pissed off we didn't win 8-0.

Great win, defense was excellent, went mad in my local when we won.

 

[kofigunner]

3 sweet points!!! Hopefully we can string together some good results.

 

[GOONER1991]

5 wins in last 6 games.

Progress.

 

[ebouenolike]

BUT IT WAS SCRAPPY. BUT WE BUILT A MEDICAL CENTER. BUT VERMAELEN SIGNED A CONTRACT WHEN NOT FIT. BUT WE SPENT LOTS MONEY ON 17 YEAR OLD WINGER. BUT BUT BUT.

Amazing result, will do wonders for confidence. Loved our defense.

 

[Lazaq]

Let's build on this! BUILD BUILD BUILD!!!

 

[Kenyonhater]

Looking at Newsnow all the headlines are about how we were lucky and played poorly and how we scraped a result when Ramsey "saved the day" at the death. Saved us from a perfectly acceptable point at the Velodrome?

F**k me the media have an agenda don't they? ManUtd drew 0-0 there in February but we get more stick for "winning ugly". Pathetic.

Chelsea lost there last season.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Should I mention Koscielny's challenge on Gignac?

Nah, thought not

 

[DanielVale]

Roy Keane...what a ****.

1-0 TO THE ARSENAL.

Although Marshitte were f*ck*ng awful second half, I think we deserved that, we carried the game to them and I`ve been desperate for us to grab a last minute winner.

Did the clown say something about us ?

ITV always has awful punditry, but the mug Chiles said something along the lines of "The Arsenal fans are certainly enjoying that win right behind us now Roy", to which Roy said something along the lines of "They certainly are, which is about as much I can say about the Arsenal fans...but they will go back home nearer qualification."

The guy is a clunge hole to be honest, he hated every minute out there. Mind you, when your wingmen are Adrian Chiles, Martin O'Neil and Gareth Southgate, he fits right in.

 

[Kenyonhater]

He actually said "not that I care what Arsenal fans think".

 

[Anzac]

BUT IT WAS SCRAPPY. BUT WE BUILT A MEDICAL CENTER. BUT VERMAELEN SIGNED A CONTRACT WHEN NOT FIT. BUT WE SPENT LOTS MONEY ON 17 YEAR OLD WINGER. BUT BUT BUT.

Lol - I WASN'T going to go there, however since YOU opened that door then this result changes NONE of that....

 

[Invincible]

Gritty 1-0 away win. Great, just like the good old days.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

He actually said "not that I care what Arsenal fans think".

Still bitter after Vieira regularly ran rings around him, poor fella.
