***OFFICIAL*** Champions v Arsenal Thread

[ant london]

and, like Sibierski, he actually looks pretty good in the air

[Tony P]

Is that the ref's assistant that got Andy Gray the sack?

[Esky]

Great run and square ball from Tevez, thought the chip was in.

Might want to rephrase that.

[xavi6]

Tevez looks like he's benefitting from a full preseason

[Dubciteh]

anyone know why dzeko isnt on the bench? also how come walcott back for them but our english lads arent?

looks sharp doesn't he

he also looks genuinely happy in all the behind the scenes stuff on the OS....funny old game isn't it

[kinkylola]

crowd gives a huge cheer every time arsenal pass the ball forward into our half ... really annoying.

It sure is, but I'd suggest it wasn't her who got him sacked, Keys got them both sacked.

They're doing the same at the other end as well though.

Dzeko's got an injury so stayed behind. Our Euro boys have been told not to travel and will probably play in the local friendlies whilst continuing to build up their fitness.

Because he is still in Manchester isn't 100% fit.

cheers beefy.

Surprised mancini waitin so long for subs, johnson on now, hopefully plays behind front two.

[Ted Hughes]

i was about to compliment Savic on being not bad 2nd half, then he just fucking fell asleep.

I think it's more about giving them match time rather than ensuring the win.

[Beefymcfc]

That pitch is looking very very heavy, reminds me of Saturday and Sunday league when I was a kid.

[ant london]

Hope we picked no strains/injuries up on that quagmire...jesus. Good run out though and some real positives

[xavi6]

Always nice to beat our feeder club

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Thought exactly the same.Much better half till that dozy moment

[john68]

Always nice to beat our feeder club

It gave us a chance to survey the next crop of kids that Arsenal are minding for us.

[BobbyJ1956]

I like that lineswoman. She gets the close decisions right, both today and as when disallowing Richards's goal at Swansea. And she has nice cheekbones.
