efb

I'd take 1-0

gnfnrhead

No Chamberlain again? Hope Ramsey isnt injured too now. No Coquelin either? Surely he earned a place on the bench at least?

Ah well, we usually struggle against Sunderland so like efb I'd take 1-0.

Quazzie

Any clean sheet for Arsenal and I'd be happy. With Jenkinson up against Seb Larsson I'm expecting a lot of problems down that side for us. Walcott could be effective but it depends which players turns up. With him it could be either.

Anyone got a sopcast/veetle link?

YEOOOOOOOOOOOW

1-0 Van Persie

Don't know, it would be stupid to get rid of him, when you look at all the players his signed this summer I think he'll need till xmas before you'd really consider sacking him

turn your tv off mute mate

ulinbac

our crossing is poor

SDTimeout

I've been at the Emirates myself and a lot of people also say that for some reason TV does not do the Atmosphere justice at all, anyone else hear that ?

Rosicky playing well.

amacachi

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

wandatowell

fair play robin

Mars Bar

:eek:

That was almost Cantona-esque! :eek:

Fuzzy_Dunlop

RvP!:eek:


so so close

gnfnrhead

How unlucky can you get. Should be two.

Quazzie

What an effort, and again with his right foot.

That_Guy

That would have been superb.

SDTimeout

F*CK, that would have been goal of the season! Better than his pre season against Inter a few years back.

ulinbac

AAAHHHH!!!!!

Professional Griefer

Deserved a goal. Smashing stuff

bamboozling

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that was beautiful. Deserved a goal. That was lovely.

JerryHandbag

Sensational RVP, that deserved a goal

BeanFlicker

Way too easy for arsenal, unlucky from VP,

Minstrel27

That should have been a contender for goal of the season

patrickc

what a shot

amacachi

These are the situations when I hate being an Arsenal fan. Seeing those shots not going in really makes me fear for how the rest of the game will go.

Professional Griefer

This'll be a long long day for Sunderland.

SDTimeout

Robin is playing like a man possessed.

Mars Bar

Van Persie will have some shooting practice today...
