VAN PERSIE AFTER 28 SECONDS
Gervinho feeds him from left and he slots home with his right, too easy, Sunderland didn’t even touch the ball
Are there any other TSF commenters in London?
I’m going to the CC game a week from Tuesday with a bunch of people from my hall.

oh, van Persie, so unluck
lovely turn, floats a lob to far post, it richochets off it and down the line, not in
Totally unrelated to this game
but there is a Regionalliga Süd (German fourth division) team called Wormatia Worms. I can’t even….
Managing Editor, OnceAMetro.com
It is, but that name is....interesting.

I'm pretty sure Arsenal have the collective mental strength
of an 8 year old.
And I hate discussing mental strength.

I'd rather have an 8-year-old in a pressure situation than this team.
Seriously. He would just be like “Shit, man, I’m playing for Arsenal, this is AWESOME!”
Well, hopefully he wouldn’t say “shit”.

LARSSON EQUALIZES FROM A FREE KICK
curler with his right foot. Brilliant shot. Nothing can do about it.
Ugh
Seb with the take. That was a great fk.

Larsson knocks down for Colback, who volleys a foot over the bar from eight yards
we have been SHIT since they scored
I'm okay with it at the final whistle.

Those last 15 minutes or so
were pretty damn bad.

Halftime
We were great for 20 minutes, failed to make it count beyond 1, and then we were a fetid ziploc bag of rotten crap
It was ever thus.

not just a bag, but a Ziploc?
Gross.

This is why I get annoyed when certain people (coughpdbcough) say that it's okay if we're shit
Yeah, I’ll keep supporting the team, but it makes me fucking miserable and/or pissed off. I support this team BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO WIN FOOTBALL MATCHES.
Managing Editor, OnceAMetro.com
indeed
we may have to get past the idea that teams are entitled to something, for sure, though. As will the team, by the looks of things.
That is such a shit tackle.
It’s an “I’m clearly not fast enough so I’ll just trip this guy” tackle.
Managing Editor, OnceAMetro.com
So uh
no more FKs for Santos, yeah?

he’s just given it away twice trying to play the ball in to the attacker’s feet. Sunderland nearly scored from that free kick.

I’d rather him not be on the ball at all

On the ball?
Maybe for him. But for the baseline average player (even a CDM), I’d disagree.

our team is allergic to having players making late runs into the box
never any options for the cross

which makes one wonder why we cross so goddamned often

we did it last year, too, though
and it was more frustrating then, for the reasons you state above

great dribbling by Arshavin
but drags it wide…arrgghghh11

Flossy Yossi on for Zits
Come on Benayoun

Benayoun coming on for Rosicky
not sure why….Rosicky was playing pretty well
In Hue We Trust
by LouisMurphy'sLaw on Oct 16, 2011 10:05 AM EDT reply actions
We needed fresh blood.
Rosicky was playing well but he wasn’t making that final ball. Maybe Yossi can.
For the movie version
Yossi Benayoun will be played by Adam Goldberg. Rosicky by Jake Gyllenhall.

Random note because my daughter's got the TV
George Carlin as the narrator of Thomas the Train is either brilliant or horrendous. Not sure which.

Carlin is basically brilliant AND horrendous at the same time, always, no?

I guess
worse when animated. He/his character in Cars makes me want to slap a hippie in the face.

clearly unintentional, but this gets the ironic comment of the year
"I know you're from Middle America, and sometimes you feel like you're representing more than just a school or a conference, maybe an entire group of American citizens out there."
by Twin Cities Hawk on Oct 16, 2011 10:18 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Just woke up, dont have FSP
What’d I miss?
Curious selection of Walcott over a piping hot in-form AOC? Nothing new.
RvP scoring? Nothing new.
Arsenal allowing an equalizer on a free? Nothing new.
RvP bailing us out and scoring again? Nothing new.
Nearly allowing the quick equalizer due to suspect defending. Nothing new.
In other words, the match report looks to be an easy write-up.

That cross from Theo
pretty much sums up our movement off the ball. Brilliant run, great threatening cross under the defense, two men watching

Decent enough. From Robin and Szcz at least.
Whew
Needed those 3. Now off to Marseille!

I love the fact that nobody posted during stoppage time. We were all in the fetal position, biting our nails.

*heart rate returns to normal level*
AAARRRRRRRSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!

Obviously Arteta, Santos and Walcott shanking free kicks
Was to lull Sunderland into a false sense of security.
