[Football] Arsenal tonight

[Weststander]

The game plan for Arsenal is unchanged. All along they need simply to score.

Best player on pitch by far, Griezmann. Every touch and run made is of sheer quality.

Wilshire in referee's faces does him no favours. He used to be a fine footballer. Not too late to get back there, but curb the silly temper.

Ref had let a few bookable challenges by Madrid players go and booked Wilshire for a foul that was no worse than Madrid had been putting in. Too many homer refs in all matches. Wilshire had reason to be pissed off but you can’t remonstrate with the ref in away matches.

There were fouls either way, nothing awful. Wilshire (in true Giggs/Keane/Neville fashion) ranting in the refs face. I've seen alot of European football, as I would guess you have too, and arrogant refs hate that. 30 seconds later Wilshire goes in the book for an equally nothing-awful foul. Unfortunately players have to zip it in Europe )and when facing The Complete And Utter Shyster!)

But even if we're safe, I'd rather finish above Hudds, as it's worth about £2m to our Tony.

I think every point gained gets cash as does the final table position,

GOAL - Atletico Madrid 1-0 Arsenal
Diego Costa
Disaster!

Arsenal switch off on the stroke of half-time and they are punished by a familiar source.

Diego Costa latches on to Antoine Griezmann's sweeping pass and the striker surges forward before finishing.

So simple for Atletico. So costly for Arsenal.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Arsenal play so narrowly

 

[nicko31]

Can't see Arsenal getting out of this

 

[Southern Scouse]

They look ok Arse, just seem too slow.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Goodbye Arsenal. No chance here. If it was Liverpool or city then oh yes, Athletico are full of holes against pace and guile.

Not against this Arsenal side. They won’t lose this unless there’s an outbreak of shit in the AM dressing room.

Why is simeone in the stands?

 

[Weststander]

Like old times. Diego Costa beasting Arsenal defenders.

 

[spence]

Come on Madrid

Vehemently disagreed with the 8th minute sending off at the Emirates a week ago.

He went fecking mental over that sending off

Hard to imagine we gave Atletico a good game this season. Their defence looks strong. Costa of course wasn't playing. He is pretty special.

I think The Arse might nick an equaliser and go to extra time.....

 

[Weststander]

They look ok Arse, just seem too slow.

They should've played Oxlade, giving them direct pace with the ball.

 

[Beach Hut]

They should've played Oxlade, giving them direct pace with the ball.

Indeed, out for rest of season and a Liverpool player

 

[WATFORD zero]

They should've played Oxlade, giving them direct pace with the ball.

Think he's lost a bit of that pace recently

 

[Weststander]

Walcott then.

Wasn’t it the lack of a later booking and his reaction that got him sent to the stands ? He was still raging after the sending off but the lack of a yellow sent him over the edge.......
