    come on arsenal!!!!!!! let’s win this game

  2. Jamaican Gooner says:

    Good point in the end. only need to win our next 2 games and we’ll be assured of third place. Could you uploud Stoke epic fail at the end of the first half where Shotton was taking the towel and the ref blow for time?

  3. jaymin says:

    i utilize you every match but I have never really thanked you for all you do, a fault in me i will remedy now. my extreme appreciation to you my friend, for all you do for us gooners, and for being a good friend to your friend, whom i will pray for and who i hope rests in peace. thanks again.

  4. DKX99 says:

    My deepest condolences to you, Arsenalist, and the family of your friend’s.

    On another note, does anyone know why Stoke fans jeered at Ramsey? What injustice has he done to their team?

  5. Gnostradamus says:

    Points dropped, but refereeing was atrocious. Glad I didn’t watch the game. Instant replays or it’s farcical.

    “On another note, does anyone know why Stoke fans jeered at Ramsey?”
    He got his leg broken. Too much of a pushover.

  6. Gnostradamus says:

    ^ That was not a joke. Many fans and pundits still insist “he’s not that kind of player”, the repeated leg-breaker.

  7. Z says:

    1. Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend…wish peace to his soul and to all friends and family. RIP
    2. i felt this was a game we could of won had we been more critical
    3. where is Park these days I wonder? Part of him prly feels like he should have stayed in france…atleast he would be playing…

  8. Disappointed says:

    My deepest condolences to you and your friend’s family.

    Arsenal… sigh… why can’t we secure our 3rd place earlier?…

  9. DKX99 says:

    Gnostradamus- so you’re basically saying that due to the firestorm their beloved Shawcross faced because of breaking his leg, the fans jeered the victim, believing that Ramsey somehow is responsible for having his leg broken?

  10. mobeen says:

    Sorry about your loss… May ur friend peace and shelter in heaven n his his family and friends the strength to cope with their loss… Thank you and god bless…

  11. Shin says:

    Sorry for the news. May him Rest In Peace!

  12. Clinton Dawkins says:

    Considering that Stoke has not been beaten by the biggest teams at home this season, Arsenal can’t be faulted for not winning today. It was a definite handball, too; would’ve meant a win.

  13. gooner says:

    i am happy with a point
    did you guys see wigan blowing newcastle out of the stadium?
    i think because of wigan our goal difference is better than newcastle
    anyway WIN the next 2 games arsenal
    come on ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!

  14. PV4 says:

    Sorry to hear about your friend Arsenalist, may he rest in peace.
    @DKX99 – they jeered because they are stripey cunts as Arseblogger says. Classless morons.
    It was a well earned, hardfought point. Whole team put in a good shift, Rosicky was everywhere, tackling, passing, winning the ball, as was Yossi. Even Ramsey got into tackles which shows he is putting behind what heppened to him there. All in all, a very good point. Should have beat the cunts but a useful point nevertheless.
    Like someone else said, thank you Arsenalist, whenever I miss a match I always know where to catch the highlights.

  15. Q says:

    My condolences to you my friend.

  16. Z says:

    love the hunger yossi and rosicky show….hopefully yossi stays with arsenal, i think hes a graet player to have around.
    was impressed with gibbs from the bits of the match that i saw also

  17. Tieneich says:

    I am really sorry to hear that Arsenalist. I just lost one of my own last year, too. Hope you recover soon.

  18. Arschloch says:

    condolences to you Arsenalist !!

  19. Arschloch says:

    3rd place is still not secured because Spuds have still to play 4 games and Newcatle 3 game, so next games are must win games.

  20. Jellykid says:

    it was a interesting game but the fucking REF ruined it for me, I’m not trying to be biased here, but he really didn’t care who was hitting who. Rosicky and song were getting hit all game and he just kept playing the game on like a dumbass.

    You know somethings wrong when the ref is 5 yards away right behind vermaelen when the ball hits shawcrosses hand and the monkey of a ref stares at it hard and doesn’t give it.

    I’m really starting to think its Fixed somehow. You ever noticed these incidents only have to top 4 teams. Its really weird.

  21. gooner says:

    agreed jellykid

    and why did the stoke fans imitate wenger anger at the end of the game? kos didn’t even push the stoke player and he fell down
    stoke city has offically became my most unlike team
    the stoke fans have no class what so ever

    why did they also boo ramsey? shawcross did break ramsey’s leg

  22. Gnostradamus says:

    DKX99, I’m saying people are messed up. Look at Chelsea fans booing Anton Ferdinand today. His offense? Getting a racial slur from John Terry.

    Two things that make me try not to get too crazy about teams or results: fans that deify their favorite team, and refereeing that is either ineffective or biased. It’s hard to enjoy games when both are so prominent almost every day.

  23. arshavin says:

    this is why i hate stoke down to the core. classless players, classless fans, a manager who doesnt care. 150 years and still the same bottom half finish table finish.

  24. arshavin says:

    we control our own destiny. if we win we are in, loss/draw makes it much harder for us.

  25. Gnostradamus says:

    Don’t want to scapegoat anyone, but just want to point out Sagna was very much at fault for the opening goal. First he gave away the ball with a straight pass, then stood off and gave acres of space and time to Etherington to find the cross. Some other players get abused for far less.

  26. Clinton Dawkins says:

    @gooner Newcastle has a much poorer GD than Arsenal or Spurs, who are very close (too close for comfort).

    I haven’t watched many games, but Benayoun has always appeared very industrious.

  27. Arschloch says:

    Bolton and Aston Villa must battle the Spuds fiercly to avoid relegation, Fulham may enter the bitch in doing the job feeling, but the most important thing to take the destiny in own hand and win the next two games. I think New Castle won´t make it because they have tougher games. I hope Manchester derby will be a draw to increase the pressure on Shitty for their game against New Castle.

  28. Arschloch says:

    I think a rule must be applied to prevent long throws because they can not be related to the basics of game and destroy its beauty.

  29. Invincibles says:

    PODOLSKI!!!

  30. arshavin says:

    podolski is a perfect signing. 93 caps for germany and over 200 for club (koln/baymunich). we needed striker and some help on the wing, and podolski can play both. talk about 2 birds with one stone. and the transfer window hasnt even opened yet. hopefully this can really solidify rvp to stay and lure other players (kagawa, m’vila)

  31. Invincibles says:

    Yea, now the team needs to concentrate on finishing 3rd to be able to lure good players into the club. I’m surprised that Podolski signed before the end of the season,wen champions league next season if not yet confirmed, This shows how highly he regards Arsenal.

  32. Invincibles says:

    And i hope Stoke get relegated next season..they dont deserve to be in this league. Class-less players, class-less fans, and a class-less manager.

  33. Jellykid says:

    M’vila got arrested so I don’t really know if Arsenal are going to get him, which is bad news indeed. PODOLSKI IS IN THE BOAT!!!! =D

  34. GUNNER says:

    guys see this epic fail in wikipedia, jan vertonghen age 75 and linked to arsenal, man city and inter.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Vertonghen

  35. GUNNER says:

    they fixed the fail

  36. jfopwe says:

    Welcome to Arsenal PODOLSKI!!!!!

    i too want stoke city to get relagated next season.
    no football. they just score from long throws and set pieces
    and their long throws should be counted as wasting time

    WIN THE NEXT GAME ARSENAL!!
    COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. mandemz xxxx says:

    come on arsenal !! we have to win all the next games a draw will not be good enough you have to wiin xxxxx

  38. mandemz xxxx says:

    we can anayalate norwich city
    get in there gooners xxx <3

  39. Gnostradamus says:

    Such a joke, Rooney’s goal being voted best of Premier League’s 20 seasons. It’s an overhead kick. Nice but we’ve seen many shades of those. Bergkamp’s and Henry’s were pure inventions.

  40. Jellykid says:

    Agree, he won because he’s english lol, seriously a bicycle kick is nice but we’ve seen many times by numerous amount of players. Henry’s goal was pure magic. There are many other goals better than rooneys!

    All jokes aside I think he did win because he was English…. this biased thing going on with english players is getting annoying everytime.

  41. Invincibles says:

    they got amazed to see a ogre doin a bicycle kick..lol!
