I can't tell if the 4-4-2 is purely due to personnel, or
if there’s an element of “fuck it, it worked for the Invincibles” at work here
(just kidding. Mostly).
How are you getting it? The match I mean.

There are streams too (audio only)
but I can’t share them here.

Listening to a match on the radio is the weirdest thing ever

I don't know but it might be on the homepage somewhere
I don’t think they gave it out unless it was during the pre-show.
Captain, there are doubt's...
Over at Royals Review we took exception to something an announcer said
so a bunch of us emailed the booth with a question, and they read the email later in the game, declaring that they had been “ambushed” by 5 different emails from 5 different cities with the same question at the same time. that was fun.
That's been happening to me for months as well

gotta go get the kid from school
4 arsenal goals before i come back!!!
Captain, there are doubt's...
it's going to happen
And we’ll blame you for it.
Why me? They did practically the same thing on the weekend without me saying anything.

We need a scapegoat.
You’ll do.
Oh, and look at the score now!
Is it still one-nil?
You’re the one who said it’s going to happen!!!

Pathetic.
I’m at the point where if we keep Jack Wilshere, Robin Van Persie, and Theo Walcott past January I’ll be happy.
Lots of game left. Arsenal aren't the first to give up an early goal to an underdog.
Expect the game to be all Arsenal second half.
Djourou
Anyone feel Djourou has regressed TREMENDOUSLY since his injury? He seemed pretty stout last year
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Why not?
I won’t be able to follow Arsenal in the championship!!!! (if it comes to that)
by Sabrina Dessipe on Sep 20, 2011 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions
the only thing I can think of
is that it takes a lot of organization and understanding, which we may not have.
But that sounds weak, just typing it, sometimes.
If the announcers are to be believed, Arsenal are playing like absolute shite right now
against Shrewsbury….at home

Sounds like Djourou being Djourou again
Give him the captains armband and watch him watch the ball go in the back of his own goal.

so we're losing to a fourth division team
typical just typical
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.
If it's typical no reason to freak out.

I wasn't freaking out
IF I WAS FREAKING OUT IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE THIS

Joined just in time then, lol
How’d we give up the first goal?
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Djourou being Djourou
from what I gathered
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.

figures, his injury pretty much killed any form that he had
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
any idea if he should be deployed as a defensive MF? Seems his brain farts would hurt less as a DM vs on the last line of defense as CB.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
I'd rather not have brain farts anywhere on the pitch
when it comes down to it, I think they can hurt anywhere when the team is defending (e.g. Denilson)
It wouldn't be Arsenal if we didn't lose a guy every game...
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Because I can't get this game...
I’m watching Inter vs. new boys Novara on ESPN3, and man, Inter are just plain bad…
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Are Arsenal playing the typical high line we normally see, or something different?
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
they haven't really said
but I’d guess that we were, since we never do anything else.
Not pressing in combination with that would seem to explain why Shrewsbury keep getting chances, maybe…
When will we ever learn...
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
sigh. Blind and Dead FC would created chances with that combination.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Meanwhile at Ellwood Park
United clowning poor Leeds, 3-0. Giggs had a crazy goal just before half.
Better yet, three goals on three shots on target. 100% finishing from Man U.
Makes me wonder if the true failure of Wenger’s youth policy isn’t that the youth can’t do it, but that they just don’t have a greybeard like Giggs in the side who, while past his prime, can just step in, settle the boys and be a leader on the field in these types of games.
Of course, Man Utd also are fielding Carrick, Berbatov, Park, Valencia and Mancheda who have all seen first team.
Someone going in circles at Arsenal
What else is new?
AAARRRRRRRSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!

Maybe it's just time to get a single owner, instead of a battle between Kronke and Usmanov
Honestly, I think Usmanov would show more ambition for this team than Kronke is, we haven’t heard anything from him, well, ever…
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Battle or not
the idea is that it won’t be their own personal cash that the club relies on. Doesn’t make a difference who owns or controls the team.
Captain, there are doubt's...
isn’t there only one owner—officially? Does Usmanov even have enough shares to see the financial statements? He seems to have an EXTREMELY shady past and I’m not sure we want to go down that path.
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
I don’t think Usmanov has enough shares to see any financial reports, his share is 27%, I don’t know what the actual percentage (anyone? anyone?) needs to be to see financial reports, but I do know that Usmanov was much more vocal about Kronke’s decision to buy out two members shares that Kronke was, Kronke issued a statement explaining the takeover, and that’s been it, nothing since. I haven’t heard anything about Usmanov’s past, if it’s shady or not, I do know that he’s in Russian oil and gas, as usual… But still, as an owner, no matter who you are, your team is an investment, and you do need to put money into it regardless. It doesn’t have to be Sheik Manseur money, or Abramovich money, but even just a little help, like killing some of the Emirates Stadium debt would help.
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
I would imagine any shareholder can see the reports, right?
I’m terrible at econ/business-y stuff, but isn’t that what being a shareholder means? you get reports and stuff?
According to this Guardian article, he needs 30% to see all financial details.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/jun/15/alisher-usmanov-arsenal-stan-kroenke
From the Sun—take it for what it’s worth:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article267191.ece
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
So...
You need 30% to see financial details, but once you cross 28%, you have to make a formal takeover bid? What kind of sense is that? lol
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
What sucks the most is the both coaches spent halftime telling their teams
“We can win this!”
Captain, there are doubt's...
Chamberlin should be used in the first team over Arshavin imo...he's probably the best crosser of the ball on the team

More than what baseball can attest for...
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Imagine what the attendance would be
if the Daytona Cubs went to Philadelphia to play the Phillies?
Captain, there are doubt's...
yea, probably pretty poor, but still, the Emirates is over half full for this one, lol
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Ryo is pronounced "Rio"
As in di janeiro and Ferdinand
AAARRRRRRRSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!
Dream goal!
A kindergarten classmate ozyakup on my daughter last friday.
I saved the shoes but the dress went straight to the trash.
Captain, there are doubt's...
My guess on Soccernet was that Nottingham would upset Newcastle, and after going down 0-2, they’re now back in it at 2-2!
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Speaking of Nottingham...
When did Robbie Findley start playing for them? I thought he was in Real Salt Lake this whole time, lol
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Benayooooooooooooooooon
And Ozyakup has his first assist, great start to his 1st team debut!
2-1 now, but it's almost too late
Inter has been complete shit today, this game is brutal to watch
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Cambiasso
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
lol 3-1 now
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
I don't even feel that bad about losing to Blackburn anymore after watching that game
What a catastrophe, lol
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
Here comes Chucks "Taylor" Aneke
AAARRRRRRRSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!
Dream goal!
Sounds like a great Arsenal name.
By which I mean, it nearly sounds like an injury that plagues football players.
Their star striker cannot play today because he has a case of Chucks Aneke.
At Ellwood Park
Dimitar Berbatov is playing in central defense. LOLZ
Why didn't we go and get the Berba?
Obviously the man can still score, and we need another finisher…
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
I don't know if their that ludacris
but probably pretty high, maybe a bit higher than Van Persie’s…
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
We didn't go after Berbatov because he sucks.
He is exactly what we don’t need more of at Arsenal. A player with talent but who is lazy and extremely streaky.
And also scored the most goals last season
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Why? He’s outsourced all his goal scoring to Chicharito and Rooney, leaving him more time to continue to impersonate Andy Garcia.
Ox will pull us there.
I’ve always held that the CC is only fun to play in if you win it. Otherwise, it is a lot of extra games no one needs.
OT at the City Ground
c’mon Nottingham!
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"
What's the format of the Carling Cup?
I thought it was single elimination but I see a lot of draws.
I can take a beating ... I'm a Rams fan.
I think just the F.A. has a return leg
F.F.F.
"Do you think we need one more...? You think we need one more... Alright we'll get one more"

Newcastle 3-2 Nottingham
Simpson in the 93’, not looking so good for the Forest now…

When do we play Dortmund at home?
I’m ready for ’em!

Gotta play Olympiakos at home, then Marseille away first.
