TFoA Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Arsenal lost to Fulham. Got outplayed for the whole 90 minutes, too. The Gunners have been sub-par, IMO, through their first three games. They didn't do as well as most expected against Twente (though a 2-0 victory is nothing to complain about), scored their only goal so far in the 4th minute of their first EPL game, and basically got dominated by Fulham. Auspicious start.Eh, 3 points out of six isn't auspicious. BTW, among the rest of today's matches Stoke won a thriller over Aston Villa and Spurs lost (again!)Hah, Spurs are ing up. I guess since I'm new to this Arsenal supporter thing, this should be the ultimate schadenfreude, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspicious start.I just watched my recording of that match. I might as well not have bothered. "Sub-par" doesn't do it justice; Arsenal looked completely flat out there, against a side that lost to Hull - Hull! - in last week's opener, no less. That's the worst effort I've ever seen from the Gunners since I started following them in '06, and that includes their 4-0 drubbing by ManU in last year's FA Cup. Arsene Wenger needs to light a fire under their @$$es, and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsene Wenger needs to light a fire under their @$$es, and fast.Meh, it'll get better when Fabregas is in the midfield orchestrating things. With that said, a solid holding midfielder would be nice (Denilson isn't one and Eboue sure isn't), and so the low-level rumours of Xabi Alonzo or Gareth Barry going to the Emirates continue their sinister rumblings. And once again, it would make life a lot easier for everyone if Arsenal would actually shoot. This is why I love Samir Nasri joining up with the club: the boy loves to shoot. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Everybody else either didn't take the shot or skyed the ball into outer space.But you're right. Fabregas returning will definitely be a much needed boost. One they need. IDC if they were a little bit shorthanded. Arsenal should not be getting utterly upstaged by Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I love Samir Nasri joining up with the club: the boy loves to shoot.It seems you're right so far - with Cesc back in the lineup, Arsenal have followed up the Fulham loss with back-to-back blowout wins at home, first against FC Twente (4-0) in a Champion's League qualifier, and then against the Magpies (3-0) in Round 3 of the Premiership. Eboue's back-heel setup of van Persie's second goal against Newcastle was the stuff of season highlight reels. It could easily have been 8-0 or thereabouts it not for some great goaltending by the Magpies' Shay Given.On the other hand, Wenger has once again passed on any major transfers into the club, leaving the Gunners' midfield dangerously thin. Better hope Cesc doesn't go down again for any significant amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heernumurr Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Curbishley is gone from West Ham, not surprising really.
