Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. Wake me up, Yaya Sanogo.
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high."

Pray for Bayern. Sanogo going to make Boateng and Dante look like Sunday League defenders.

Fuck off. Feyenoord are so fucked.

Have some faith man! We can do this.

Here's MiLOL

Abbiati, De Sciglio, Rami, Bonera, Essien, Poli, Emanuelson, de Jong, Kaká, Taarabt, Balotelli

and Pathetico de Madrid

Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Insua, Gabi, Mario Suárez, Arda, Koke, Raúl Garcia y Diego Costa.

 

[Barzul]

Wenger was like yolo.

 

[Yurt]

Well good luck to Arsenal

 

[Danchi]

Bayern will be wishing they didn't tie up Lewandowski so soon after they see Sanogo.

 

[wedward]

no Podolski? guess he'll be nice to have as an impact sub, if Wenger's willing to bring him on

strong team, otherwise though. I think we have a good chance. Sanogo is a gamble but his job is more to create space, so given he's faster and more physical than Giroud, can't hurt to start him. nowhere to go but up

Yup, rather have Sanogo than Giroud. Sanogo is mobile and has some pace.

Huge game for Jack. No excuses. He has to perform.

 

[Blablurn]

last time Lahm played as RB, we lost against City :lol
yeah, not liking the change of tactics

 

[The_Hitcher89]

the characters are flat, the plot is incoherent and has zero tension because Frank has no worthy adversaries, the dialogue is nothing but tortured, heavy-handed allegories, the politics has zero resemblance to actual DC politics (not really a problem except when they use 'political' means to solve plot problems)

and I like House of Cards

Shit, just realised my question makes it clearly look like I was asking about HoC. I meant in general, though your answer carries across to the criticism as a whole anyway I guess


Like, so many David Cage threads, dozens of people just pop up and say 'the writing is bad, David Cage is a bad writer' and I don't have a clue if they're talking about plotholes, plot progression, character-building, logical actions, scriptwriting, cliche-avoidance, confusing sequence set-up etc.

'Bad writing' seems a bit of a lazy catch-all term for when people can't be bothered to elaborate properly on the many things that writing in those terms seemingly consists of

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Strong starting XI , hope we can hit the ground running tonight, I've got a feeling Podolski is going in the summer though, he's been fit a while now and still not getting many starts despite scoring too.

 

[pulga]

who the fuck is sanogo and where is giroud



bendtner should be starting anyway

 

[wedward]

GOTZE, Robben, Kroos and Thiago are going to be a handful.

 

[Danchi]

Yup, rather have Sanogo than Giroud. Sanogo is mobile and has some pace.

Okay, but his first touch is genuinely awful. Giving the ball back to a Pep Guardiola team doesn't sound so fun.

 

[L1NETT]

YaYa YaYaYaYa Sanogo

Great chant, Sanogo needs it.

Lets go English teams.

 

[Ravensmash]

After Leverkusen's absolute collapse last night, I'm not sure whether Bayern having such good form in the league is a reflection of their brilliance or a sad reflection on the German league.

So, that being said - I predict Arsenal 3 - 0 .

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Fuck off. Feyenoord are so fucked.

Have some faith man! We can do this.

Adel Taarabt has gone, in a month, from severly underwhelming at relegation certainties and nothing-club Fulham, to starting a Champions League quarter-final for 7-time Champions and historic Italian powerhouse AC Milan

Does that say more about AC Milan, Fulham or Adel Taarabt?

 

[jtb]

Sanogo is taller than Giroud, we just need to hoof it forward

 

[Blablurn]

South America GAF. Do you guys dance Reggaeton?

 

[arkon]

I am confident that Arsenal will get a good result this evening. In Wenger I trust.

 

[wedward]

Okay, but his first touch is genuinely awful. Giving the ball back to a Pep Guardiola team doesn't sound so fun.

No worse than Giroud's. Giroud can't take more than one touch without losing it.

Says more about his agent

More commonly known as Moroccan Balotelli.

 

[Barzul]

I think we can get a win here. I believe in this team.

Giroud's first touch is so bad. So many chances lost because of that shit touch.

Heads up for those in the UK without Sky Sports, Sky One are showing the Arsenal Bayern game tonight.

Kinda like a kid believes in Santa Claus. How cute!

 

[Barzul]

WAKE ME UP YAYA SANOGO!

 

[phaze]

.

Sanogo's touch is the stuff of nightmares. It's like he only recently got his legs attached and is only now figuring how to use them. I suppose he might be a better option on the break than the adulterous donkey.

 

[LanceVance]

Arsenal fans pls never change. The moment Bayern score and your mindless optimism turns to mental breakdowns will be oh so entertaining

No worse than Giroud's. Giroud can't take more than one touch without losing it.

That just isn't true though. People can lampoon Giroud for his finishing and pace all day, but his close-control is one of his strengths. He holds the ball up well and plays one-twos with the attacking three very well.

Hmmm, Sky One or ITV

Adrian Chiles is a massive bellend so I might go with Sky

[Feorax]

That's a hell of a shown of faith to play Sanogo. He did well at the weekend, but Bayern is a different proposition entirely.

He probably is Arsenal's best bet though. Giroud is probably fucked both physically and mentally at this point, given everything that he's had to do this season and is now dealing with personally.

I wonder if he'll be starting quite a few league games from now on?

 

[K1LLER7]

Can't find no weaknesses in this Bayern team.

 

[Ravensmash]

Kinda like a kid believes in Santa Claus. How cute!

Arsenal are a far better team than they were this time last season, and they still managed to win in Munich.

I'm not an Arsenal fan at all, but people are putting them down as massive under dogs undeservedly.

...plus I want to see an upset

 

[Tc91]

I'm going to say it now so I don't have to look at the thread when Bayern-GAF start spamming pics/gifs.

Congrats on the win Bayern.

 

[Blablurn]

Don't underestimate Arsenal, guys. I have a feeling we are going to see a great game tonight.

if he can stay fit, I can see Wenger sticking with him for the foreseeable future. but that's a big if; has a pretty terrible injury history

 

[Ushojax]

Wenger's gone fucking mad, Sanogo is never going to touch the ball.

 

[wedward]

Guardiola has never won at the Emirates.

Arsenal - Bayern 0-2
Milan - Atletico 1-2

Bayern will be wishing they didn't tie up Lewandowski so soon after they see Sanogo.

It's Bayern, they'll just sign both.
