Arsenal Banter Archive December 08 2013

08 Dec 2013 23:20:01
toffee here in peace boys

just wanted to get your thoughts on how we did against currently the best team in the league and how we looked compared to other clubs that have come to the emirates?

i thought at times we showed we can not just mix it with the best but better it in particular ross barkley, at times he made your undeniably world class midfield look average but that might be a biased view on it.

{Ed007's Note - Is that your idea of banter or do you think it's some kind of dating site? I can't believe you came on another team's forum to ask a question like that in the first place no matter the way you asked it! I'm seriously taking a red-neck for you mate. Why did you not just come straight out with it and say 'You are just ssssoooo good, pretty please tell me we're good too.'
Even if you hadn't seen the game (which you did) that's one of the most cringey posts I've ever read.
Remember and wipe your nose before bed or you'll never get to sleep with that smell hanging about.}

You on crack ed007? I put currently the best as you are sat top I also put we made you look average so get your head out ya arse ya whopper, you were outclassed by a better team that doesn't need to spend 40 odd million on superstars to mix it at the top of the league, can't wait to see all your fans and your usual moans when you lot fall away like every year, i'd never label you guys good either, in good form yes, team of overhyped pre madonnas most certainly, can't wait for the return leg at goodison, was at the game and got to say you lot are the quietest fans around, until you scored it sounded like we were playing at goodison, think before you reply with drivvel ya moron

{Ed007's Note - You do know that I'm a Celtic supporter don't you? So just keep digging that hole for yourself, obviously your physic powers are dwindling if you are assuming you know who I support. I'll say one thing, I'd be embarrassed to support any team that had people like you in it, on another team's forum fishing for compliments is shameful behaviour. I don't know where you stay but I'm sure the whole village is out looking for their idiot, you best get offline to let them know you are ok. Are Arsenal your 'big' team?}

Bit harsh ed. Well from one brown nose to another you were the best footballing team that we have played so far. I've got a spare room if you need one?
Flybo

{Ed007's Note - Have you ever went onto another fans' forum to ask how good they thought Arsenal were, Flybo? C'mon, how can that go unpunished for the sheer cringing embarrassment of it? Anonymous trolls never even pulled strokes like that!
Maybe you and him can meet up in the return fixture and go for a windy walk together and kick bundles of leaves or a slow motion run through long grass.}

Haha Ed. No I haven't, but the walk sounds like fun. I can wear my black dress if it's not too windy. Don't let the red typo change you Ed007 ;-)

{Ed007's Note - ;)

Bluebaru. Calm yourself down. First of all you don't have 40 million anyway, secondly you go on about how perfect Everton are ignoring the fact that half your team are loanees. Take them out where would you be. Don't get on your high horse mate. It's taken united fans a couple of decades to become arrogant tw*ts. It's taken you two games. P.s, I wonder where Barkley will end up? I owe Ed007 a apology. I would say up the hoops, but I would hate for him to think I was brown nosing.
Flybo

Im going to have to go with ED007, on this one, totally agree.
Its one thing to ask a question and make comparisons but you don't fish for compliments on an oppositions banter page.

Wow, such a shame that a respectable team like Everton with a manager that I have respect and admiration for could be so poorly represented.

I thought Everton played very well and that a draw was a fair result, but you are changing my mind lol. Try to be humble in victory, gracious in defeat. Sportsmanship mate.

Peace,
Trinidad-Gooner

Everton fan in peace. I thought the game could have gone Either way. we had our moments and so did you.

over the 90 mins I thought a draw was about right. good luck for the season.

To BLUERAU. Yes Everton were the best team I have ever seen absolutely fantastic. Actually our team Arsenal should not have been on the same pitch as them Everton were the dogs b***ks. Even the way they walked onto the pitch they looked great. Their kits were super pressed boots were shining ready for action. The players were so slick you could smell the aftershave through the TV. What about your supporters singing away sounded like the most wonderful choir anyone has ever heard. It's a shame Everton were not in the Champions League as they would clean up I reckon they could even go to Brazil and win the World Cup if they wanted. I don't know why I've supported Arsenal for all these years I've been wasting my time after seeing Everton on Sunday. Glad you reminded us all on how wonderful Everton are mate. I'm sure all the other Arsenal supporters on this site will join me in saying Everton are the best team in the World. OK!

Goldboy, Goldboy, Goldboy, calm down and relax my good buddy, chill its nearly christmas.
Bloody good post though, that cracked me up .

Scousedownsouth, totally agree mate

Dagenham . Everton were so good that I believe that even Santa is a supporter. LOL

09 Dec 2013 15:25:05
SCOUSEDOWNSOUTH. Got to agree too mate. I don't think any Arsenal supporter was thinking this game was going to be a done deal for us the way Everton have been playing. Personally I'm glad this ones out the way. Have a good Christmas mate.

09 Dec 2013 15:39:53
blubaru mate, they came on our site multiple times to praise us before the match even started! and after the match, they also praised us on this site too, is that not enough?

Mike-Ox Long

Bluebaru is not a toffee, probably Chelski on a wind up.

Anyway I thing the league is way above us this season. so hopefully it will be you boys.

Thanks Scousedownsouth,
If we do win the league I would be more than happy for you boys to finish runners up mate.

Spurs in the cup? That's the one side we have to play our best 11 in any one else we could have given the squad a run, hey ho 4th round for Betner and co it is then

G62, just a thought my friend and I run the risk of getting told off by a lot of people on this site, but here goes.
Between now and the spurs cup game we have a lot of games to play, a lot of points can be won or lost and we have the Napoli game just around the corner.
I think we looked a little bit jaded today against Everton and we have some seriously hard games to come. So, i'm not too bothered mate if we play a 2nd string against spurs and run the risk of getting knocked out.
i'm not too sure if we have the squad to compete for the FA cup as well as the league and champs league, so I think we should concentrate on the last 2 my friend.

LET THE STICK BEGIN LOL

{Ed002's Note - It will only get harder in February and March - Arsenal are doing great right now. Stick with them.}

I hear you ED lol

I agree with Dagenham on this.
in previous seasons I would be disappointed if we played a weak tean in the fa cup, mainly because the league title wasn't looking likely.
but this season we are progressing very well in the league, and believe squad rotation is essential, I also have a sneaky feeling about the champions league.
don't know if we can win it, but I really think semi finals could be the min we achieve simply because our defence seems strong and very consistent. all we need is a reus/draxler/el sheraaway and it could be likely :)

I agree DG we can't compete on all fronts this season the PL is No1 CL second and FA cup 35th in my book.
Just a shame we drew spurs because anyone else we could have rested players but I think it would cause a revolt if we didn't go for it in that one:-)

Thank you Waq1 and G62, bless ya cotton socks.
Oh, and G62, ask the missus to stop predicting Arsenal results lol (its xmas she should be out shopping like my missus lol)

Tell her! When she says our relationship is based on being able to talk things through, she calls it talking, I call it listening.

Lol G62, I think you and I are married to the same woman.
I said to my wife the other day "Are you seeing somebody else?"

She said, "No, what makes you say that?"

I said "Because you have'nt nagged me all evening"

08 Dec 2013 22:01:40
Brace yourself for MOTD 2 tonight people, I can hear it now.
Its a two horse race between city and Chelski after today's result that's for sure, their results yesterday won't count.
The nice thing is we only have to wait a week for city to join us as also rans when we win there next weekend.
Then Chelski will be champions elect, well for a week they will :-)

Yh I know mate, tbh i'm not even going to watch MOTD

08 Dec 2013 21:59:56
Was a little down in the dumps earlier, but looking at the table its not so bad.
5 points clear at the top after 15 games, 3rd highest goalscorers and we have the best defensive record.
Louis Suarez would bite your hand off to have Liverpool in the same position, come to think of it, Louis Suarez would bite your hand off fullstop, but that's another story lol.

Its all food and drink to him DG

08 Dec 2013 19:30:15
No ones going to beat Everton without an outstanding performance by them and an Everton below their best one.

I'm not disappointed as I had a bad feeling about the game for weeks, good news is I will be gutted if we only draw at city next week as I'm very very confident you will see both sides at their best and going for it and a Arsenal win being the outcome.
We have Napoli Wednesday to deal with but we will increase our a 2 0 lead on the night.
45 points by new years eve VERY realistic for me.

I echo your sentiments G62

08 Dec 2013 19:26:29
Maybe i'm just being a bit daft but has anybody else noticed that Santi doesn't seem to have the same style, grace and flair he showed last season?

I know he hasn't long been back from an injury and is probably still finding his feet but he seems half the player he was last season. He seems to have gone into his shell since Ozil has arrived and doesn't seem like the same player.

Like I said, maybe i'm just being a bit daft.

Hello mate. Yep I agree with the Santi thing. Thinking that when he started nobody really knew what he was all about. But now he has been rumbled he is finding it hard to play like he use to. He will have to now re adapt himself.

He isn't at his best ummm not sure why mate

08 Dec 2013 19:15:19
Well I guess it comes down to whether your a glass half full of half empty person.
Half empty:
A missed opportunity to go seven points clear with two points dropped at home. Fortunate to get the lead and then we lose it with 8 minutes to go.
Half full:
We were out played by a better team on the day. Thankfully for us they struggled with that final ball, otherwise we wouldn't even have got the draw. Add to that even though we dropped two we gained one from the rest of the pack over the weekend.
I haven't decided which one I am yet.

Shout outs
Everton: Played some wonderful football, and deserved at least the draw.
Barkley: Great skills and as soon as he improves on his final ball he will be a top top player.
Kosielny: Great performance.
Flybo

Flybo, my glass is completely empty.

What are your views on that one heh?
(smiles)

Glass completely empty:
You may as well call Alan Hanson a god and be done with it dagenham. :-)
Flybo

Lol I hear you flybo mate

08 Dec 2013 18:21:09
Mmmmm. We draw and I feel like we lost! Confused emotions.Everton I knew would not be a push over but hopefully they are stronger than Man City and Chelsea which, I believe they are. As I said I've got mixed emotions today. Santi wasn't really on form today, maybe because opposing teams are now on to him and the flare he showed at the beginning is now being strangled by our opposition. Anyhow onwards and upwards. My mate just had a bet on us doing the double! Very likely we could.

I've been saying that myself since mid-summer, just got a feeling F.A Cup and League

08 Dec 2013 17:58:54
Great game of football, just wish that shot could of been a bit lower and just inside the post. This puts us in a bad position, napoli mid week what will we do. I personally would rather have key players ready for chelsea as the league for me is more important. what would you guys do?

08 Dec 2013 17:39:09
What a great fake shot by Giroud! Ozil with the finish!

08 Dec 2013 16:56:04
Hi Gunners, Everton fan here

Just havin a look through your posts at half time and respect to you guys, classy fans and respectful like ourselves.

Unlike Utd fans last week, so up themselves it is unbelievable.

Good luck guys and like most Blues we hope you win the league, bit out of our reach lol

Fair play to you Degsy, I thought your boys were excellent today, well worthy of a point.
Just hope you take more points off the big boys, city, chelsea etc.
Well played today.

08 Dec 2013 16:01:07
If I had to choose to lose to a team, I would choose Everton. The next classiest club in the PL, right behind Arsenal. HOWEVER, I don't wanna lose and certainly don't choose to.

We win 2-0 today. Giroud and Wilshere.

08 Dec 2013 15:48:33
To think I was gutted when we lost our 8 point lead over united at old trafford, just goes to show avoiding the banana skins is much more important that the head to heads

08 Dec 2013 14:40:20
Greetings flow gooners. Anyone else wishing David Moyes was still the manager of Everton?
I would take back Denilson's goal from that thrashing we gave them a few seasons ago for a boring 1-0 scored by this weeks leading goal scorer Mr O.G (not Olivier Giroud by the way)

08 Dec 2013 11:52:25
DG and all others who are concerned about today can breathe easy, my missus says 2 0 win today, she knows very little about the game but she does seem to have a knack of predicting correct scores.

I don't ask her very often as she doesn't usually shut up long enough to get a question in, but she has come up trumps all 5 times I've managed to catch her off guard during mid pause.

My heart says 2-0 but my head says we might concede as we've kept 7 clean sheets in 8 games and I fear we might break that run.

I'd settle for a 2-1 but hopefully 3-1! Giroud definitely scoring today!

Lol thanks G62 and if Mrs G62 is correct I think you should make tea all evening and make Mrs G62 breakfast in bed in the morning mate.

Fair play DG but if she is wrong she has to shut up for an hour, plus during that hour I have to be in the house at the time and awake.
Hope its 1 0 or 3 0 or any other win than 2 0 now

Lol G62

08 Dec 2013 10:47:00
Good luck today guys, two in form teams playing some great looking football, should make this one a belter!
I wondered why Sky never showed us against United mid week, now I know they knew, this would be a more entertaining fixture!
I predict 2-1 either way (but hopefully us) the second being a late penalty through frustration. I can't see many goals, as we both have great defences.
Lets hope we get a decent ref that let's the game flow.
I'll be back after the game whatever the score, to congratulate or gloat.
COYB!

Hi Gods Doctor,
I hope you have a great day but come 4 oclock I hope you have a nightmare lol.
ps, Everton are a very good team mate and this will be a very very very tough game but hopefully we will get the 3 points.

08 Dec 2013 08:43:35
My prediction.
The ground is now buzzing as the two teams come out.
Predictions of score lines passing about.
The ref blows his whistle the games underway.
Nobody knows which way it will sway.
Jack passed to Mert, who clears from the back.
The ball goes to Aaron then straight back to Jack.
Santis on the wing and picks up the ball.
Does one little dribble then back in the middle.
The ball is passed through to the god that's Giroud.
It's in the back of the net!
1-0! Now I've won my bet.

Wow you must have got fantastic odds on that lot happening GOLDBOY :-)
If it does just remember we're half's and if you stuck a tenner on it we can buy the club plus keep every Gooner supplied with free alcohol for life. The rest of the cash we can just be frivolous with :-) :-) :-)

Great post Goldboy, I love it.

08 Dec 2013 00:10:08
Man Utd dropped 25 points last season and already this season have dropped 23. Ouch

08 Dec 2013 08:57:32
Southampton have 1pt from a possible 12 and still sit above United in the league. Ouch.

Everton hadn't won at Old Trafford for 21 years but won 1-0 this week.

Newcastle hadn't won at Old Trafford for 42 years but won 1-0 this week.

Ouch!

Lol Jenny, sounds like a double ouch for Manchester United and if we win today that puts us 15 points above them, I predict a tsunami of ouches at Old Trafford.
