7-0 Bayern

To those who doubt his efficiency, know this: Gomez took five shots, and scored from four.

benayoun ran hard, didn't produce much of anything.

Agreed somewhat, they showed some excellent attacking flair at times, but the final ball was lacking. Arteta looked lively and creative in the first half, he looked a bit sluggish in the second. Kos was all over the pitch, further confirming why he was selected for the nats. Merte looked composed, he was outpaced at times, but as predicted, he was positionally sound, saved us on more than one occasion and his height was greatly appreciated on set pieces. I think he and kos will definitely make a great partnership, Kos being more mobile and stuck to the faster players while Merte mops up the trash. Agreed with Benayoun, he showed alot of pace, but didnt really impress, I suppose he wasnt in long enough. Arsha was a surprise, guess hes finally getting tired of being slammed in the tabloids for being a lazy arse. Well taken opportunistic goal. RvP kind of surprised me, he was sharp at times, but it seemed everytime he was on the ball, 3 Swan defenders swarmed him. Very unlucky on the dinger. I DO think the new boys will eventually fall into the swing of things and improve as they get more games, next week Song and Gervi will be back, definitely a boost for the team, looking forward to the Dortmund match tomorrow!

Against Freiburg, thats like Barca playing Dagenham and Redbridge.

You're just mad Bayern can actually win games

hey we won our game!

[Red370]

someone made this cool little compilation of Arteta's first match with us, watching it, it seems he actually contributed quite a bit more than I first thought, his style and vision are very reminiscent of our departed spaniard. His passes are ludicrously accurate.

Everyone ready for Dortmund to do work?

1-nil to the arsenal! 1-nil to the arsenal!

and indeed FORZA MILAN

Game isnt being shown here only the Milan game....which they're getting dominated in lol

[phelan]

hehe arteta looks weird all bandaged up

[Red370]

and thats the outcome you get when you sub in all your defensive minded players and park the bus. Fvck we look like the damn US squad, get a goal and play, content with bunkering down and securing the 1-0 result. Very disappointed tonight. Benayoun added nothing tonight. Arsha would have been a boost in the final 30 minutes, wings push up, keep your only goal scorer in the game and attack like hell for a 2nd. Best defense is a good offense, whats happening to that attacking style we're known for?

Great result today for Chelsea. Looked decent going forward actually; well, Danny Sturridge, Mata and Malouda did. Torres still failing in front of goal. I like how Villas-Boas has called him out publicly. He desperately needs some confidence back. Even playing for country he looks wayward.

I'm glad to see Milan drew with Barcelona. I think they have a lot to prove after crashing out of the competition last season to Tottenham hotspud.

Marseille getting a good result away to Olympiakos, and I'm surprised Valencia couldn't find the net away to Genk.

Champions League is back gents!

[phelan]

I love the UCL!

Red: the team is very much a work in progress, and today they answered to Pat Rice. He is a little more...uh...conservative than Wenger is.

Also keep in mind...that equalizer is my goal OF THE MONTH. Sublime effort from Perisic. Told you Dortmund was made of stern stuff!

Borussia Dortmund is so much fun to watch & so scary when playing against the team for whom I root.
