    Arsenal better get extended highlights on BBC tonight and some decent analysis for once or there'll be diggs
    Be surprised if highlights last more than three minutes.

    Im watching it on BBC 1 N West, I've about 20 BBC channels as I'm using a freeview box.


    Sh1t highlights of the Arsenal game with worse analysis.


    Mark Bright better watch his back


    On a brighter note Theo done very well for his second goal

    Extended highlights should be on Arsenal player soon anyway. Bbc only showed the goals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,222 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    Ah for fook sake avoided all socres updates etc tonight to watch the highlights hoping to see some of Frimpong, Eisfeld, Gnabry etc come off the bench while watching a good Arsenal game and I get about two minutes of highlights fook you BBC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    About 20 seconds of high lights followed by replays of Walcotts goals and how Henry like the goals were.

    Jump into your DeLorean to sort that **** out!




    In fairness it did look like a great game at Old Trafford but still, we are the inform team in the Prem and should get more air time than to 40 odd seconds we got.

    I avoided the score too for the highlights. Was annoying.

    Still, delighted to see Giroud get off the mark even if he did get a penalty saved. Arshavin and Oxo's goals were top drawer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,531 ✭✭✭Fuzzy_Dunlop


    All that waiting for the highlights for that. Ah well, great result and some nice goals. Pity that Giroud had his peno saved after scoring but it didn't look a bad peno in fairness.

    walcott's two are contenders for arsenal goal of the season

    Aye, more of a case of good keeping.

    12 goals at home in two games is impressive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,429 ✭✭✭Pierce_1991


    Fuming that BBC dedicated so much time to a game that was on TV and another that was between two average sides only to spend about a minute on the 7 goals scored at the Emirates.

    Giroud took his goal very well and to be fair the keepers made a good save on the peno. Two nice finishes from Theo and a cracker from the Ox, even arshy's was well taken. Nice evenings work, same again against Chelsea please :P

    I'm not normally one who jumps on bandwagons, but I really would like to see Walcott get a chance in the middle. When he joined first I felt he always the potential to be like Henry. He has failed massively to fulfill that but he is still young and still learning. I think Wenger doesn't want to move him centrally until he is the finished article but with Giroud stuttering maybe we need to make a leap of faith and do it now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    At least we have plenty of players willing to play center forward for us now; Giroud, Podolski, Walcott, Gervinho, Chamakh. Nice to have options.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,433 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    "He is a great finisher now, in front of goal he is really absolutely amazing."

    Jesus Arsene thats pushing it even for you!

    As gosplan said a few pages back I would be getting excited bout theo yet, scoring goals when Coventry are wrecked is a different story and doing it in the prem

    In saying that if we can give gervinho a chance through the middle I would give theo his chance before he is flogged

    Personally can't see him making it if the through ball ain't on he is prob no good up there, can't see the ball been played into his feet and he controlling it and leaving it off, or even taking it around a few players like gervinho
    When teams don't leave space Walcott is redunant, and that's coming from someone and hope he stays

    In reality if he don't make it up front and with gnarby coming through theo will struggle to make the match day squad next year

    The look of relief on Girouds face after the first goal :pac:

    Glad he's off the mark, think he could be smashing for you


  • Posts: 5,464 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Glad Giroud got off the mark.
    Arshavin, a lucky charm?:D
    How long have we been hearing Wenger say Theo should be patient for the striker role, can't see it happening myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    Great news for you lads .

    @johncrossmirror: #afc Wenger says Wilshere will play Monday for Arsenal u-21s for an hour”

    "Jimmy Hill, Winston Churchill, Maggie Thatcher ... are you watching ? You're boys took a hell of a beating" ... :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,032 ✭✭✭Soups123


    Anyone got a link to highlights?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭meriwether


    So Walcott outsprinted lower leage players towards the end of a tiring game?

    Give him £100k a week and the CF spot now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,753 ✭✭✭tony1kenobi


    Is John Terry's suspension immediate does anyone know?Can he play Saturday?


  • Posts: 5,464 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]
