Arsenal's Robin van Persie called up to Holland squad despite injury | Football | guardian.co.uk


what. the. f*ck. has the dutch leadership gone absolutely batshit? half their team callup is injured!

and yes, LOL at inter. Maicon = fail against Spuds.

Bale for Arshavin, straight swap? Yay? Nay? haha

in other news - why is Szczesny not getting a chance against Shakhtar? I guess Wenger wants to get the CL under wraps before he lets the boy out for a few games?

No Arsenal fans posting after a game for once?

[phelan]

I knew Shakhtar was going to win haha

Walcott's run was beautiful, but after that the team faded. Good god, our defense was left for dead by our midfield (EASTMOND!!!!!!!).

Didn't see much as I'm busy today though.

Gomez netted 3

We fielded a reserve team, we're already going through, Wenger wanted to get some rest for the regular starters, and Eastmond, WTF is he even playing for? I'd put Frimpong or Lansbury in before him.

btw, that Wilshere pass was pure class. And i'm going out on a limb here and saying that Theo is the fastest man in the EPL, hands down. He opened up 15 yards on that Shaktar back, almost looked effortless.

Honestly man, Fabianski, Eboue, Squillaci, Clichy, Wilshere, Nasri, Rosicky, Walcott, Bendtner are far from our reserve team.

Eastmond is, and Djourou I suppose are, but to call the team we fielded today the reserve team takes away from Shakhtar's win. They came out and played with a vengeance. Gunners should've been able to cope, so there's no excuse really. The team sheet shows quality at every position for Arsenal today and we failed to book a spot in the CL elimination rounds yet.

Plenty of chances, but I guess it's just one less game Szczesny is going to get to play in the CL.

I'm absolutely PISSED JET didn't get in until 8 minutes remaining. WTF Wenger???

Exactly what I was thinking lol

Eastmond looks like the dude who gets his chain ganked by Deebo in Friday.

[phelan]

hmm....the red bulls forgot that they had to score to win a soccer game. 3-1 loss to the quakes today.

FAIL.

so much for listening to what coworkers say, i didnt catch the match so he assumed and parlayed to me that we fielded a reserve team. Regardless, after watching some video, we basically looked like we were playing in second gear all match, guess they figured, hell, we're pretty much through so lets take a breather.

[Red370]

and you best believe that we're going to come out pissed in the next match, probably going to dump 4 or 5 on em.
