that was the goal conceded against portsmouth when he hesitated and was beaten to the ball by kaboul, a former spurs player. crap.

but yes, i agree with the view of people giotto, sigheart, toshio14 that almunia has been below par. he's never been one of the world's top keepers, but even by his own standards, he's been found wanting this season. and i will stick my neck out and reiterate that i fault almunia for the first goal against city. the unfortunate bop on the head on the rebound was unavoidable, but he took too long to decide about whether he was gonna rush over and save that ball. by the time he decided, the ball had gone past him, and after the rebound, became an own goal.

however, to say that arsenal need a goalie who is an international, i'm sorry but i do not agree. the arsenal way is to get a great player, who will then be recognised by his country. we take the rough gems and turn them into precious stones.

but yes, i think almunia needs serious competition to make him work harder. otherwise, like sigheart has prophesied, he may become our new archilles heel. i think having diaby is bad enough, we don't need another one. =)

^ interesting how the gunninghawk website fails to list diaby in his starting 11... heheh.. =)

but i do like his starting 11. hopefully that's the way it starts...

^ wow... good stuff from the gaffer! =) and as usual, adebayor and his lame @$$ excuses aren't fooling ANYONE.

anyone got the first 11 plus subs list?

not really.. i wanna watch the arsenal match.. cause i'd love to see eduardo and bendtner start together and hopefully see what wilshere can offer.. but yeah, if can't get good streaming.. astro it is... heheh..

looks like we're primarily playing a 4-3-2 formation if diaby decides to play like he did against city... hahahahha.. =)

hahahah.. check out bendtner's collar weh.. he's trying to do a cantona... =)

i'm actually very encouraged to see rosicky start.. hopefully he'll turn on the magic that's been missing in arsenal's play... heheh.. =)

wow... arsenal player (who was it?) trying to do a pretty flick in our own half that resulted in a lost ball.. and the liege player gleefully put it away...

what's happening? my stream died on me...

who was at fault for the penalty?

thanks man.. at least can watch..!

goodness... arsenal seem to be in a terrible mess...

to be truthfully blunt, to be 2 - 0 down against modest belgian opposition is not a nice place to be..... pull up your socks arsenal!!! we're getting torn apart by them!

this one from lanpakali works fine for me...

hahahah.. liege goalie just knocked his own player down...

we can't use that as an excuse.... if wenger claims that he has the squad to compete, he must be able to cope with injuries, internationals and suspensions. and right now, we are showing that we are not capable to handle it...

and bendtner scores!

ok.. we've managed to get off the mark.. now time to decimate them...

possession counts for nothing if we do not punish our opponents...

wow... the tvu streaming is fantastic.....
