Soccer 2013-2014

Should be a good game - No Walcott does stink, but that is of less concern than no Flamini. Might not be an exciting player, but he's been exceptional this season - we look a different side with him in the game vs. Arteta (who is good, but doesn't bring the same game). I'll be really annoyed if we start more than 2-3 first team players against Chelshit midweek. ?zil, Ramsey, Giroud, and one or both CB's need some rest. Would definitely rather go out in the CC than lose a big BPL match over the weekend.

Read that Pellegrini didn't shake Jose's hand afterwards because "he didn't want to." Ha. Really a good year for the BPL as a neutral. Anyone can win it/make the top 4. In fact, the most impressive looking team this season so far is definitely Southampton - no chance at top 4, but they could well pull a Swansea and find themselves in Europa next year.

Arsenal: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Cazorla, Ryo, Bendtner

On board with that side, with the exception of Ramsey - he's looked as tired as anyone the past 1.5 weeks. Cazorla needs to play himself into fitness though. Chelseas side looks good. Must be nice to have that many quality players....

Jenks has been hanging out with Man City by the looks of things. What a dreadful back pass.

Wasn't better than what Arse started? What are you on about now derp.

Hard to see Arsenal dropping 3 in a row at home, especially to inferior competition. 3-2 to the Arse, while Suarez does something out of character (for most humans, but completely normal for him). Book it.

LFC's best shot is to play tidy defense and try and hit on the counter. Arsenal will overrun that midfield if they try to play a possession game. I'm confident, but definitely won't be surprised with any outcome. LFC is much improved this season, and has a very formidable attack - however, the MF will be exposed on the weekend and I won't even bother gloating when it does.

Obviously. Gerrard, time to be put out to pasture. Hard to score when you have a very average MF. Suarez played like he wanted to wear the other teams kit... Oh wait, he did. Good win, nervous for this weeks CL match though. BVB is playing the best football in Europe the past few weeks, and Gibbs going down is pretty shitty. We need Walcott/Flamini back asap.

I forced myself to watch the replay last night - all of this without Gundogan too. Sven Bender looking excellent lately. Should be competitive, but I think BVB wins by 2 clear goals - nothing against The Arse, but Dortmund is flying. Going to really need to kick Marseilles asses, and hope Napoli drop some points this week I think.
