Boro v Arsenal

So, after a disappointing weekend of results for everyone connected to Arsenal there is a trip to Middlesbrough on Monday night to look forward to.
My only real experiences of Middlesbrough were;
A) being amazed at how many NF flags that their scummy element of fans once brought to the Lane in the 1980s...all carried by hunch backed mo fos chatting **** about being the master race. How the **** they could could talk such racist filth with that amount of teeth in their mouths is still a complete mystery to me. ( not that I am suggesting they are all inbred )
and
B) nearly being chased out of the **** hole of a city when I went up their to see a girlfriend back in the 1980s. Was like something out of Mississipi Burning... got to admit that I didn't realise that the web toed ****wits could run that fast

Anyhow...Arsenal are in desperate need of 3 points and , as united are a near certainty to drop points this weekend and Wilshire is bound to break my heart on Saturday this is an opportunity to make up lost ground.

As Gooners left Selhurst Park on Monday night it reminded me of when I played a school match when I was 14 or 15 yrs old.
A keeper slid out to get a through ball but arrived a fraction of a second after the forward who was sliding in from the other direction.
His boot hit the keeper in his nuts, studs first, but momentum meant his foot went on and hit the keeper full in the face.
Unfortunately (for the keeper) that was not the end of his nightmare.
The ball (football not bollock) rolled back out to an oncoming attacker who managed to hit the prone keeper ( who was laid flat out on his front with his hands holding face and his legs wide apart) in his balls from behind.
Once the ref had blown the whistle the full horror was revealed and etched into our brains, never to be forgotten.
There was blood, teeth and puke all over and around the keepers face. He didn't really say much (apart from emitting high pitch noises that caused nearby dogs to howl) but most of what he said was abuse aimed at the twenty one 14 or 15 yr olds boys who couldn't help laughing at him being hit full in to balls ... twice...and at how high his voice was!

The haunted, confused and betrayed look in his eyes as he was helped off the pitch (taking very small steps and wimpering after each one) was
how the Gooners seemed to leave South East London...painful for you lot but funny as **** for everyone else...even though we knew the pain you were in!

Anyway back to the match.

Boro will line up with;
1x I left CL for this ****e? in goal
4x the rest of the team are ****
1x too **** for even WHUFC Downing
1x can't score
1x can't pass
1x can't tackle
1x where's the goal
1x what's a goal

They have an effective tactic of not scoring which they execute really well.

Arsenal will line up with
1x WTF...a 3rd choice keeper again?
4x see no tackle, make no tackle
2x what's a tackle?
2x can I have a pay rise
1x effort is so over rated
1x heads Chelsea tails City

The tactic will be pray to God that that we dont make this shower of ****e look good.

Finally, am I the only one to see the irony in Walcott being in an advert telling children to "try and try again" when the overpaid mo fo hasn't tried once in the last 4 away matches?

As per usual I can not wish you luck but I do hope you do not get kicked in the nuts twice in quick succession.

 

"They have an effective tactic of not scoring which they execute very well"

 

When are you going to make match threads for everyone else? lol

 

I guess the upside from our horror ending of a season is having remembercolinlee making our match threads. Looking forward to the FA Cup thread...

 

The other upside is that Arsenal are far more likeable now they are sh*t.
I've even started to warm towards Piskie

 

A ****ishly accurate match thread once again

 

Not a single result went in Arsenal's favour this weekend.
City, Everton, United, Liverpool, Everton and Spurs all won leaving Arsenal in 7th.
3 points tomorrow is an absolute must.

 

Don't think 3 points tomorrow will make a scrap of difference.

 

What 'must' we win 3 points for exactly??

 

hmmm can we hang on a draw to clinch 7th?

 

Any more of that nonsense and you will receive an official warning.

 

You've got no authority to be dishing out any warnings on here

 

Top four is pretty much over IMO (not that it matters anyway as it wouldn't be a good season even if we'd made it), so it's just a question of where we finish between 5th-7th.

The one positive of being in the Europa is that we would have a much better chance at winning it than the CL. Obviously there are still some very gifted teams in there and we may struggle if we have long trips across Europe. But if we did take it seriously, it could be a competition where we would have a decent chance of winning. I'm sick of making up the numbers in the CL and our European trophy haul is catastrophic, so I, for one, wouldn't mind being in the Europa.

The flip side, however, is that if Wenger is our manager while we're in the Europa, I think he'll field a youthful side, take no risks with important players and then focus on trying to get back in the Champions League...some people may prefer this, but it'd be nice for us to win a European trophy, especially in a competition where we could have a legitimate chance of progressing in and we could still get Champions League football the following season. Would be a double whammy.

 

Where the **** am I?. How did you get here?

 

I think you must have swallowed the yellow pill ...

 

Only use blue pills oh and some white ones. Never yellow

 

That must be why you've ended up here ...

 

Where are my glasses?

 

Have you checked on top of your head ?

 

Providing the fans don't burn the stadium down protesting against Wenger...But in all seriousness, i can see some serious fallout if Wenger continues, he has really pissed off a lot of fans and the unrest is considerably more than what we ever been used to under Wenger. It's not a matter of whether it'll get messy, but how messy next season. Do we really want that?
