No, he was caught by the ref. I'm sure other players stick up but it doesn't get played out in the media.

In a world where it's a big deal for players/coaches to address the world about "i support this player because he did this" and "we're behind this guy" etc - it's a big deal that the world knows that on the field, the players are finally sticking up for each other, particularly in a team who just have seemed relatively frail and non-commanding in recent years.

If this were Fellaini backing up Kagawa or something, you'd be fap.gif-ing and I wouldn't have an issue with you at all.

I see heaps of our players going through someone that has put a hit on of our players. It's football, it happens in under 15's. It happens in every team around the world. It's nothing to get excited about, it's just the thing you do for your teammates.

Busby x 100

Pv4, this is nothing new. The 'cool' factor is when a player actually goes through with his threat and makes a crunching tackle.

Jack did that on the weekend :lol: was beautiful to watch.

Someone go and top Roy Keane for going through on a promise :lol:

Jeez, you guys are missing why I'm taking this so awesomely. Apart from Jack, who is just his own breed of doing anything for Arsenal, it's been literally years that we've had a player at Arsenal that would do legit anything to win, and legit anything to support a teammate. We've had a squad full of football players, as opposed to genuine clubmen, basically since the invincibles era (very roughly).

I'm not saying this is new. I'm not saying this doesn't happen every week. I'm saying that I am loving the fact that someone from Arsenal is actually doing it now.

EDIT: read the lid, we're in an Arsenal thread. This is where the Arsenal fapping happens. If you have a problem with fapping over a team whose thread it is, don't venture into the thread. If you want to fap about your own team, do it in that team thread :lol:

And fwiw Patrick Vieira & Roy Keane are my two favourite alltime players, ever

Pffft, didn't even injure the guy :lol:

Do you guys listen to The Tuesday Club podcast? A mate put me onto it about a year or two ago, and I love it.

Anyway, just released a new one after nearly a month break.

May even check it out PV4. Basically the only media we have that covers Arsenal is ESPN who do nothing but bash the club no matter what the circumstances.


Can anyone tell me what's the best place to watch the league cup if you don't have Setanta?

Ok so squad for tomorrow morning has been named

4 Per Mertesacker
5 Thomas Vermaelen
8 Mikel Arteta
13 Emiliano Viviano
17 Nacho Monreal
20 Mathieu Flamini
21 Lukasz Fabianski
23 Nicklas Bendtner
25 Carl Jenkinson
30 Ju-Young Park
31 Ryo
37 Chuba Akpom
40 Hector Bellerin
42 Thomas Eisfeld
44 Serge Gnabry
45 Isaac Hayden
53 Kristoffer Olsson
60 Alex Iwobi

From that I can see something like this



With maybe Hayden coming into either CB or into midfield with Eisfeld pushing up and Olsson dropping out.

Also with news now that Theo will need minor surgery and be out until after the international break, good chance for Gnabry to get some really good minutes.

Eisfeld at #10 hopefully. Kid has so much talent it's not funny.

Forgot we still had Park, what a signing he was

He hasnt advanced as quickly as some expected, Zelalem would probably be ahead of him if fit

What time EST does the game start tomorrow?

Do it. The guys are freaking hilarious. I don't even know where I'd advise for you to start out from, there's so many in jokes. Maybe just start from the start of this season, and keep up to date with it. If you want a great ep, find the one after the 8-2 loss. Alan rants for 40 straight minutes uninterrupted :lol:

Thing is so many of the in jokes are from their other podcast :lol: Alan's rant about Stoke after Rambo was Shawcrossed is a particular highlight, can be found on youtube.

Wow, we still have park ,:shock: thought we let him go

Looks like 5am from what I could find. Sydcro, that right?

I wonder how tgsel will go

:lol: I remember this. Not bad for a rant :lol:

Great to win on pens after Bradford last season :lol:

Set the alarm early to watch, slept through it :lol:

Anyone watch? How was it? How was NB52 (or is it NB23 now?)?

I didn't watch it, only caught the pens, planning to watch the full replay on the dotcom tonight.

Some congratulations in order for Thomas Eisfeld after scoring his first professional goal tonight.

Chelsea in the next round should be fun :lol:, at least it's at home and should have a few injured players back by then. I think only Ox will still be out. Santi, Poldi and Theo should all be back.

Do you have to pay to get access to full replays on the dotcom?

I do like this picture

Na, all Arsenal Player content is now free, you just have to sign up for digital membership.

Only downside of this morning is it ends our run of away wins at 10.

This is fxxxing awesome
