ARSENAL FORWARD

[kaliman2006]

As a Liverpool fan, it's actually not a bad thing Utd. won.

Moyes fed the Old Trafford buck.

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Well done United. A very tight game and Giroud came up short on two brilliant crosses from Sagna. We miss Mertesacker bad on that goal boy!

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Great game coming. Let's see if Mertesacker and Koscielny can stop Rooney and RVP the way they stopped Suarez and Sturridge.

Oh we giving dem de credit... and not the Arsenal midfield?  Allyuh better pray Fellaini eh ketch ah vaps and turn back de clock to he Everton days.

Mertesacker was utterly brilliant against Liverpool. And Fellaini has always been garbage.

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Another game where Arsenal miss Walcott, too narrow and Ozil is too slow to threaten on the wing. Gnabry is a better option, but is on too late perhaps. They are missing the direct play of Rosicky.

All 3 games on tv today have the same feel, early goal by the "underdog", followed by deep, committed defending until the end.  Man U is winning this game by playing like Sunderland - which isn't a bad thing.

Anyway, allyuh fail the test. 

Good analysis. The test on Wednesday was bigger though. Disappointed about this game but it's a setback, not a disaster. So it goes sometimes.

We hit the post twice in the first half. Not the manner of victory I wanted but Arsenal deserved it thoroughly. Saints are a damn good side though.

Love to see how Giroud harasses and bullies opposition players into mistakes. Good work!

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

In the last 4 games (Liverpool, Dortmund, United and Southampton), Arsenal have scored 5 and conceded 1. A hell of a run! Shame about the 1 though. Keep up the good work Wenger!

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Another must win today. Imagine a side could finish with 12 points in this group and still not qualify. I want Arsenal to win this group and shut up the haters BAD!

[Bitter]

Group of death comes down to the last day.
Arsenal need a draw vs Napoli. Both Dortmund and Napoli need wins to guarantee qualification.
Marseille need a bush bath.

1 point wins us the group. We on 12 points already and the most anyone else can get is 12. We need to lose 3-0 to get knocked out. Just go Naples and play on the break I say.

Lovely result Arsenal. 3-0 at Cardiff. 

[Fyzoman]

Giroud need to learn to play to the whistle tho.

Another training exercise.

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Another training exercise.

Everton this weekend, then Napoli, City and Chelsea before West Ham on Boxing Day. Time to step it up.

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Time to stretch your legs Gunners. Chance to go 7 points clear tomorrow. Keep another clean sheet and it's yours.

They already went "7 points clear" twice this season, clearly that ent no big achievement.  We eh even hit January yet.

[ckhan]

Big games coming up. Hope the boys can be fit and injury free.

[Bitter]

Intriguing game. Everton are excellent.
Maybe Man U should have left Fellaini behind and taken Martinez instead.

I hope we see Ross Barkley in Brazil next summer.

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Fair result. Shame we not 7 points clear but at least we extended the lead. You can see why these 2 teams are so good defensively. Agree with Bitter. Man U hire the wrong manager yes!

Need a draw on Tuesday and to win at least one of our next 2 games.

Hats off Delofeu, string up Szczesny proper yes!

twas a fantastic goal he scored...Martinez get some jedd talent on loan boy...Lukaku, Barry, Delofeu...that spine good enough for a top four finish

[ckhan]

Dat Everton side deserved the point. Glad we put in a good shift, onto Napoli.

[palos]

Giroud volley on the turn in the last minute of extra time was epic. All it eh do was score.

Wasn't it reminiscent of the shot by the Bahrain player that Jack push over the bar?

[Dansteel - The Iceman]

Napoli: Rafael, Maggio, Fernandez, Armero, Albiol, Callejon, Dzemalli, Behrahmi, Mertens, Higuain, Pandev
Subs: Colombo, Uvini, Britos, Cannavaro, Inler, Insigne, Zapata

Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Flamini, Arteta, Rosicky, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud
Subs: Fabianski, Vermaelen, Monreal, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Bendtner

Arsenal going for it. Nice!

[Bitter]

uh oh...
Down a goal and now down a man.

[Bitter]

Group of death!

Dortmund score in the 87th minute!
Expect a torrid last 5 minutes or so for Arsenal

[Bitter]

less than a minute for Napoli to get a 3rd and qualify.
Nope, game done.
