so like his managerial skills then?
Rightly so. Terrible penalty, terrible mental attitude, played 90 minutes at walking pace.
He's never played this much high-level football in a season and it shows. He'll be better next year when he's had a proper pre-season.

shit you might just finally have a good german on your team!
looool don't believe their lies.
th-.... these are the new fantastic 4
Who cares, it's a Marvel movie and will therefore be shit by default, plus it's being made by FOX. The only good superhero movies are the Donner Superman films and the Nolan Batman trilogy.
I do think Bale is struggling a bit, he's playing at 50% intensity IMO. I haven't watched all his matches for Madrid but I've not seen him use that explosive pace and really carve through a defense with the ball at his feet. He's had some nice shots and crosses but he can be so much more dangerous. I guess he knows that Ronaldo will shout at him if he starts trying to run with the ball instead of passing it to him.
He must have requested it, there's nothing breaking the TOS in his recent post history.
Anyone else here played Strider? I bought it, it's basically exactly what I expected, which is fine. Just some quick mashy sidescrolling.

Is that Wallace from The Wire?

I turned last nights match on just in time to watch Robben get taken out by Schneezy. Were Arsenal completely and utterly shit all game or was it just that they couldn't cope after going a man down.

Ozil just needs a rest. Hasn't he played like every game?\
I believe his assists are near the top in PL too.
Who says he's on the bench?
He's a starter just like kroos or thiago or Götze
He's also very good as Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station.

Ozil has flopped a bit this season but it's mostly his price tag that determines that. The money Arsenal paid is extraordinary, but at the end of the season, we'll be looking at him as a stellar purchase in comparison with the 40m United spent on Juan Mata. Both players will have lots of time to prove the doubters wrong, but Ozil will actually be able to do it in a team that is set up to utilize his talents.

I bet Ozil wishes he was invisible, then nobody would be noticing his dire effort.
Congrats to Bayern on yesterday's win. Shame about the red card but oh well can't say it was undeserved. Bayern could still have had another pen so we don't even get to blame the ref.
Still, we played better than I expected so I hope we can still put up a fight in Munich.
Welcome back !

Thanks Arsenal GAF
He got a short rest because of a shoulder injury over the holidays, but other than that it's been full steam for a player who didn't even get a pre-season with us. Wenger's notorious for doing this. I fully believe that Ramsey's injury was completely avoidable if he hadn't played every game until that point.
Ozil has put in a number of sub-par performances recently, undeniably, but it has become somewhat of a meme in this thread. Even when he's played well, the same people turn up saying that same thing. And he has played well this season, at times. Really well.
Only third behind Gerrard and Rooney in the League.

Arsenal were shitting on Bayern for the first 15 minutes, Boateng and Alaba were terrible and Ozil did very well to win a penalty. When he missed it the life was drained out of Arsenal and their fans and Bayern assumed control after that.
Salvaaaaaa! Welcome back. Hold us Salva, hold us in Arse-gaf. The Champions League dream is over
Been telling myself to play the series for 12 years now lol. Worth it?
Well I've only played the Genesis Strider game and that was when I was like 7 years old, but it seems to be loyal to what I remember the game being like, but obviously updated to modern standards with exploration, character upgrades, etc.

Yes!(a hair transplant)
Looks good, right?
That is a damn good hair transplant. If my hair falls out, I hope to get a head full of hair just like Conte's. Beautiful.

arsenal started really well, and if it had stayed 0-1, it'd have been a very good performance and result considering the circumstances.
0-2 means game over, though. bayern will definitely score which means arsenal will have to score at least three--and that's pretty much impossible.

If we had scored the penalty, I think we could've really twisted the knife through counter-attacks.
Bayern GAF will point to Bundesliga team #7 and #8 as proof that you can only maintain that intensity against them for 20 minutes or so, but we've already seen Arsenal do it for 45 against Napoli at the Emirates this season in the Champions League. We're a couple of classes above their usual opposition.
I'm not even angry at Ozil for the missed penalty, he shouldn't have taken it. I'd much rather Sanogo took it, and I've never even seen him take a penalty.
They went with a Metroidvania approach in the new one? Seems to be the standard these days for side scrollers though. I'm more interested in trying the old ones though.

Obviously Mesut Lolzil's confidence is now sapped. I would rest him for a week or two if I were Wenger.
Maybe we should have just signed Suarez instead.
I still <3 you Ozil.

I'd take a squad full of Benzemas over that.

Wenger wasn't accusing Robben of diving. What he really said:
"I went like this....
and then ended up like this"
"I went like this....
and then ended up like this"
If teams could maintaing that pressuring during so much time, Barcelona would have never been so successful. Arsenal stopped doing it before the sending off too, they were exhausted.
Getting Kroos would be absolutely amazing but it's highly unlikely. Anyway Bayern has a great talent, absolutely bossed yesterday.
Pep even says he's likely to sign a extension, and probably stay.
Carvalho would be great but 37.5 is just ridiculous, but that's probably the price of getting mostly anyone from Portugal.
