Didnt see a thread on this, Arsenal are up 1-0 after 20 minutes thanks to a blunder from Green and a cool finish from Van Persie

Great opportunity for Arsenal to close the gap at the top

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 4:44pm

Did anyone assist van persies goal? I need points for ff .

Sagna got the assist

Royale with Cheese · 25-10-2009 4:46pm

It was Sagna if it was anybody, but Green got a touch on the ball so I don't know if that'll count.

Arsenal not playing well here. Defence is all over the place at times.

They've given it to him for the moment, may take it away after though

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 4:50pm

Thanks lads unfortunately i don't have him on my team, but i have van persie.

kenon · 25-10-2009 4:54pm

Well he just got the assist for the Gallas goal so you're doing well.

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 4:57pm

haha nice

Redzer7 · 25-10-2009 4:58pm

C'mon the lads

Paleface · 25-10-2009 5:03pm

Arsenal aren't playing with the fluidity that they can but yet they look like they should go on to win this.

Carlton Cole is the only threat West Ham have really. His physicality looks dangerous against the Arsenal back four.

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 5:05pm

Arsenal are looking fabulous.Any smoother and they will just slip and slide

they're not really. It's a dull enough game, despite the two goals. They're doing enough to win it easily, but at the same time i'm a wee bit afraid of Cole getting loose in the box at times.

kenon · 25-10-2009 5:20pm

West ham are very compact and are pressing which is stopping Arse from playing their way.

They're doing enough to win it easily ya i couldn't argue with that.What more should they do ?

Royale with Cheese · 25-10-2009 5:30pm

Arshavin has been annonymous so far.

Redzer7 · 25-10-2009 5:36pm

Next goal is crucial

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 5:43pm

Not really they're 2-0 up

2-1. carlton cole

Paleface · 25-10-2009 5:54pm

Arsenal need to kick on again and win this game. Its not everyday you get to make up ground on United!

kenon · 25-10-2009 5:56pm

Peno to west ham...

ntlbell · 25-10-2009 5:56pm

Trying to keep a 2 goal lead would have been helpful.:p

Hehe, oh dear.

whatawaster · 25-10-2009 5:59pm

Now the next goal is crucial lol.

kenon · 25-10-2009 6:02pm

Parker sent off.

ntlbell · 25-10-2009 6:02pm

parker off

hammers down to 10 men

very harsh imo

whatawaster · 25-10-2009 6:02pm

never a sending off. great play from parker in fact

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 6:03pm

Christ wow

Captain Furball · 25-10-2009 6:04pm

Crowd is controlling the ref lol

OPENROAD · 25-10-2009 6:07pm

We don't look like scoring

kenon · 25-10-2009 6:12pm

2-2 final score.

OPENROAD · 25-10-2009 6:12pm

Never a pen imo

Mossy Monk · 25-10-2009 6:12pm

Arsenal again cannot keep a clean sheet. Sickening.

Deeper Blue · 25-10-2009 6:13pm

Gutted after that:(

L'prof · 25-10-2009 6:14pm

Useless fúckers, typical!

Redzer7 · 25-10-2009 6:14pm

Disgraceful, can never put the game to bed!

OPENROAD · 25-10-2009 6:15pm

We need to sign a quality keeper imo

cson · 25-10-2009 6:15pm

Diaby... a complete passenger. Even if we'd beaten West Ham 2-0 I'd still be saying the same. How he is getting his game at Arsenal I do not know.

The thing is, if it was Chelsea or United 2-0 up at half time you'd know that would be it game over. With Arsenal....

:mad:

i hate when I'm right.

whatawaster wrote: »

it was a yellow though. it was a 50-50 tussle and he went down (seemingly looking for a foul?) and grabbed the ball on the ground. ridiculous thing to do considering Fabregas probably wouldn't have been able to get around him in time, but definitely a yellow.

Overall, I'm really pissed off. Once again Arsenal's own complacency cost them 2 points.

Fair play to the Hammers though, they looked well and truley beaten, when Zola brought on Diamanti and Hines and totally opened up the game. They deserved the point.

Prisoner6409 · 25-10-2009 6:17pm

Man but it's hard to be an Arsenal supporter these days. Why they can't sign a decent keeper after all these years I'll never know. With all that quality on the park they can't beat West Ham, although that penalty was a gift, never a penno.

Paleface · 25-10-2009 6:21pm

Giving away a two goal lead to a team second from bottom is unforgiveable.

A few players didn't do much today and could do with being dropped to give them a kick up the @rse.

A chance wasted to make up ground on United and they've handed Chelsea another two points.

:mad:

Redzer7 · 25-10-2009 6:23pm

Ray Parlour really really wanted West Ham to win

Royale with Cheese · 25-10-2009 6:32pm

Fucking joke. Same old shite. Arsenal will win nothing this year. They've learnt nothing from their past few seasons of mediocrity.
