The guys got the quality no doubt, still needs to work on his work rate and strength though, with those he would be awesome.

was typing up my match report as it were then my bloody pc crashed...

suffice it to say that its nice to see mesut go for goal more... follks always kill the keeper on rebounds but... thats a couple feet from the defender...
sometimes the ball bounces right to someone... walcott did well with it, though he flubbed his other clear chance and his 1st touch was poor all night thought.

is koz run behind the first man at the front post a planned corner thing? i was surprised when it fell to him thought that the first man woulda flicked it on.

sanchez got mauled and hurt... and he was not 100% anayway... looks unfamiliar w/ ozil and walcott... theyve little time together and it shows.

caz needing to defer to mesut hurts his game

bellerin and whatever winger need to communicate better or else he gets exposed... doesnt happen as much with ox in there.

ospina looked kinda flappy nearly conceded another thru the wickets

coq was ok but ended up turning the ball over when trying to go forward more, causing chasing back as they broke.

walcott and ozil were both completely ciphers 2nd half.

the ref stank. arms fully extended is a GK stance and when the ball hits the arm THAT far away from the body its a penal, ffs.

ozil clearly tripped, no foul. rosicky wins a 50 50 gets a yellow? giroud wins as a 50 50 with the guys hand onhis throat, foul on him. hit in back with goal kick, yellow on him. leicester tackles from behind all night. a disgrace.

giroud stopped a run where he mighta got on to the ball.

ugly game. painful sometimes being a goon. but thats the deal.

later, lads.

That's absolute bullshit. He was clearly running away from the keeper.

Falcao was standing infront of Adrian over the weekend, waving his arms all in his face no letting him kick the ball out and didn't even get a warning! Ridiculous booking.

Didn't see the match and still haven't seen motd highlights, but from what I've read from various sources, the ref basically just stitched us up at every opportunity.

That booking is part of the reason why the refs association are so opposed to being questioned on decisions.

That ref couldn't answer why he booked giroud because it would confirm he is a liar, a complete idiot or a biased w***er.

there's only those 3 options ffs.

half the refs don't know the f***ing rule book and they are supposed to be professional. Your only job is to know the rule book and administer it by the law. Plus run around a bit once or twice a week.

^ Mike Riley is the head of referees, nuff said.

The standard of referring will continue to plummet with Fergie's gimp at the helm.

He most probably was pissed with Giroud after that, let his emotions and the crowd get to him and waited for the tiniest of opportunities to get even. Ref was abysmal.

If the ref at spurs matched our poor level, this ref surpassed it.

He was not running away from the goalkeeper. It was a yellow and i wish gooners would stop being so butthurt.
You cant see it properly in that gif but giroud looks ahead of were the goalkeeper is and walks into his path when he is trying to shoot. It was intentional imo.
Rest in Peace SE13 :(

doesnt take much to satisfy his fans does it. 2 decent shots and a good pass against one of the worst sides in the league. GOAT indeed.

Leicester have not scored twice at arsenal since 1973
When pat rice was playing for us
Jon sammels was playing for them and peter Stilton was there keeper
Gary glitter was the leader of the gang
My uncle went to this game with me and then went off to wembley to see the Rolling Stones play at the old empire pool
I was so jealous of him
I was only 10 he was 16 and he paid 1-65 for his ticket
They were like good dust because there were rumours it would be there last tour
It was 9 years before I would get to see the stones at the vincente Calderon in Madrid while out there for the 1982 world cup

more annoyed about the foul given 'by giroud' when it was a foul 'on giroud' a few mins before that tbh.


the keeper one he was in his way at first, kinda gave up and was going away then old man Schwarz kicks it into him..don't think it's a booking but he was in the way originally.
