*~*~* Arsenal v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Fred]

Honestly we are still well in with a chance in this. Either way that first half performance was something to be proud of.

HAWAYYYYYYY!!!

 

[Cream Soda]

Pritchard looking more and more like the player we were promised in the summer.

It's as almost as if he just needed to catch up due to having no pre season, covid and a heart issue isn't it?

 

[cluffy]

Should be winning games like this really

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Embarrassing yourself on a match thread again.

Some things never change. He's like a scratched record.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Clearly it is.. Why won't we win? You probably thought we'd clearly not score either.

Nah, arsenal would always concede

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Wow Merson looks a mess, he looks 70.

Guess he lumped on us not scoring

 

[Vicham]

The Danish pundits are comparing Broadhead's goal to that goal by Crespo from 2005

 

[Mattyrobinson]

Dodgy defending at times but great goal. HWTL.

 

[Hmmmmmm returns]

Pritchard showing he is way above league one. Speed of thought up there with some Arsenal players.

HAWAY THE LADS

It's a quarter final of a major English trophy, there's nowt strange about it at all. Should always pick your strongest 11. Imagine dropping more than half of the 11 to "rest" them. The players would've been absolutely raging.

Getting out of this pathetic league we are in is paramount

 

[Raker]

Adds weight to LJ complaining about the SoL pitch, we’ve thrived on this surface.

absolutely, not easy playing this football on the pitches you get in league 1.

 

[Hendonite]

Should be winning games like this really

They're there for the taking

 

[GipseT]

Helps when we play against teams that play football rather than hoof us into orbit

And a pitch and ref that makes it possible to play

 

[McGregor]

Nah, arsenal would always concede

Why would they? They've been very good defensively in the premier league. 2nd half incoming, haway the f***ing lads.

 

[HitchBerg]

Giving a good account of ourselves, what i liked about this game when i seen the draw is the chance to test ourselves against a top club in a big ground, will give some of the young lads a further taste of what is needed, might even make them hungrier for promotion.

 

[Vore]

Wow Merson looks a mess, he looks 70.

Christ, was about to ask who that was, knew I recognised him. He'd make a good Scrooge the way he's been tonight.

 

[Northern Munkey]

Only team to score against Arsenal in this cup this season.
Those on Doyle's back give your head a shake, he's 18 in a poor league one side with two centre halves who try Hollywood balls instead of trying to play football.

Flan has killed him a few times, given him a slow pass and then stopped in his tracks rather than moving so Doyle has an angle to play a backwards pass.

 

[gipetto]

We've played some classy stuff there, really impressed. Pritchard looks very good, shame about Broadhead he was causing them a lot of trouble.

 

[Bishop Mackem]

Love SKP

 

[Superkenwynejones]

Pritchards had a great first half looking like the player who all expected in the summer.
