The 2009/2010 Football Season Discussion Thread

Well what can I say about Arsenal? Well done lads.

I fell asleep before the game came on but woke up this morning to the nicest headline I've seen in a long time. Could'nty have asked for a better start to the season. Maybe that will silence the doubters, for now.

Although Everton were pretty shocking Arsenal impressed me more than anything by scoring from set pieces. Its a different dimension and something that can be crucial when you come up against stubborn teams and its not going for you and you can't pass them to death.

watchin Celtic (in the first half) and Arsenal games yesterday has got me fuckin buzzin even more for tuesday

i had to laugh at Cesc getting the ball from the keeper and just going up and scoring
Broony best be around him like flies on fuckin shite

thank fuck for Drogba...
his goal made me i hit the licks yesterday on my football coupon...only 400 quid but it was a nice wee windfall before i went out

and only need Man Utd, Barca & Marsielle to win tonight to get a couple hundred quid from my other coupon

anyone see the disallowed goal for sheff utd vs crystal palace? ref had a mare

Annoying as fuck that Arsenal conceded in the 92nd minute, even though the score was 6-1 iy just shows our inability to keep a cleansheet. Aye it was very nice seeing us score from set-pieces... It was all very good that Vermaelen scored on his debut and Fabregas got a double and our other centre back scored but for me the highlight was Eduardo scoring, I really do have a massive amount of faith in this guy and I never stopped believing in his ability throughout his injury so hopefully he can have a good season... Would be worth a sneaky punt putting him down as top goalscorer.

Yeh that was a joke, fuck knows how all 4 of them managed to miss it

[meehai]

^ fricking shocking. and i thought the palace players may have been decent enouh to score an own goal (or is that wishful thinking)

yeah arsenal were rampant... someone needs to tell wenger that bendtner is not the answer, get eduardo on so i can win my money

the new centre back looked good, arsenal are a ok bet for the title i reckon, as long as key people dont get injured...

[Kosgrove]

If Arsenal really have got a good free-kick system now then I can't see defeats to teams like Hull and Stoke happening again.
