Anyone got a clip?
Messisacker
Messisacker
I could watch this all day. I die laughing every time he tips over.
.
Great goal by Ramsey! 2-0
http://i.minus.com/ieKXgdcJbyp5M.gif
that finish is unreal
How long had Meireles been homeless for?
He looks like a post-apocalyptic scavenger
szczenanigans
1-0
Does the Ramsey celebrity death thing have to be mentioned every time he scores now?
it's meta, the joke is now dead
He is so kind-hearted that he avoided scoring till the spell was cured. Now this season you will see 12+ goals.
I hope Ea are watching Mertesacker vs Emineke.
Shut up! According to EA Emenike is thrice as fast and stronger. They are never wrong.
okay
Also, Messi is Jesus returned
I think Messi is a lot worse on FIFA than in real life. Ronaldo is god on FIFA and there are a bunch of players between him and Leo.
Because Messi's best attribute is tight spaced dribbling, its near impossible to recreate those fast feet in fifa, whereas ronaldo, who also has that ability can be given unreal shooting ability and speed.
If you hold LT a lot you can totally abuse messi's dribbling skills. It'll be almost impossible for a defender to take the ball from him, you can just cut back and forth so quickly no defender can keep up
Well at least they got that right.
Replay of the brilliant dive by Emenike earlier, Ashley Cole would be proud:
http://i.minus.com/iFtwD9SMfVHko.gif
That clearly wasn't a dive. The air pressure built up from Szczesny's run/slide pushed him over.
He's not injury prone, he gets fucking targeted
Comeon Giroud. The FIFA 12 finesse shot doesn't work anymore.
no god no commentator says ligament tear fuck
god fucking dammit
They won't know that until scans are done.
Suck it, Shawcross.
I've wasted my life
Damn 5-0 on our backs!
Santi Cazorla is such a treat to watch
Jesus fuck, Fenerbahce have it out for Wilshere. Really starting to piss me off.
EDIT Really, now Ramsey is off injured as well? Fuck everything.
Double Edit Phew, sounds like the commentators on my broadcast were wrong.
Triple Edit Nevermind, maybe they were right after all.
egemen sounds like a pokemon
never go full Almunia!! sczez come on man
Webo is on the bench. His foot must still be sore.
Hell, I think he's just guilt ridden...
Ramsey is seriously impressing this season.
Ramsey deserves to score. Our best player so far this season.
I'm delighted for him
Can we get through 1 game without getting an injury. Surely we need a new physio or something
5-0 up, might as well 10 man it rather than losing Wilshere for the season at this rate..
Fkn hell Wilshere just stand beside Mertsacker and everything will be okay.

Sadly its down :(
-edit 540p still works!thats down tooWhy does Theo take freekicks when we have Podolski...
And Santi.
I assumed someone else would be making this, but I guess not hence the reason it is so late. Anyways hopefully this will be a good game.
Can you update your top post with goals and subs?
I'm pretty sure Raul Meireles is in Borderlands 2.
in other news, MK Dons are beating Sunderland 2 - 0
Really? Brilliant.
Different angle of the 2nd Ramsey goal:
http://i.minus.com/iAlA8fTpNeIEm.gif (Live)
http://i.minus.com/ijvkDoEDbvC4C.gif (Alt angles)
ooh what is it? another disgrace on this club's history by Ersun Yanal? i'm not even surprised now.
Bruno Alves is a cunt.
He looks like he just got back from a raiding party that sacked all of Central Asia, though
If Viera was on the pitch right now, he would have shattered Meireles's leg, ending his career like you would put down a dying dog.
for those of you jumping at every chance to pile on Arsenal and have taken to criticizing over the empty seats at kickoff, this is why
Fener. What if I told you a cross is a perfectly acceptable way to score a goal.
oh great, an injury
The place looks deserted. Whatup Arsenal?
We're two minutes into the game. Not a lot to comment on yet.
EDIT: You totally meant the stadium. I'm an idiot.
Yeah.... I did.
Fair play on not deleting the comment and taking your medicine though. I respect that. Idiot.
I think there's something wrong with the trains between Finsbury Park and King's Cross which might mean people are late to the game
I don't think it was a sell-out anyway.
Messisacker is at it again
This is embarrassing footy from us
Passing isn't the way you score goals I'm assuming
last 45 minutes. We only need to score 4...Still doable hehaheahe
Quality laugh!
Dammit, Podolski was just starting to look more dangerous
MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAR INJURIES
Was hoping Ryo would come on
If Frimpong would be on the pitch right now, he wouldn't anymore...
really stressed right now, Fener are out for a little blood now that they've been thoroughly embarrassed for 175 minutes. And with out injury record I could easily see someone else going down to a poor timed tackle
edit: aaaand there we go, Alves fucking cunt
This is Aaron's season. It's been delayed a few season but it finally came.
I hope so. The boy deserves it and he isnt even 23 yet.
Why was Ramsey booked?
Online it says it was for entering the field of play without permission
unrelated to this match but still interesting, Liverpool drawing Notts county at home right now 2-2
Excellent. Beyond any schadenfreude it looks like more football to watch as they'll be extra time unless someone scores in the next two minutes.
ITV Comentator1: Fenerbahce is pretty awful to be honest with you...
ITV Comentator2: Yeah no doubt.
““”̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿’̿’̵͇̿̿з=(•̪●)=ε/̵͇̿̿/̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿’““
That is common knowledge here in Turkey.

decent stream
thanks buddy
No problem pal ;)
Lineups:
Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Sagna, Mertesacker, Monreal, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott, Giroud
Fenerbache: Volkan, Gökhan, Bruno Alves, Egemen, Caner, Selcuk, Meireles, Cristian, Kuyt, Sow, Emenike
It's unbelievable that Walcott takes our free kicks.
Steam: http://popstreams.eu/stream2.html
Haha, that Mertesacker dribble. Hilarious, and amazing.
In terms of talent and tactics we are not even on the same planet...damn...kudos to arsenal.
Szczesny just redeemed himself
His shot stopping has always had moments of excellence - it's his decision making that is under scrutiny, and decision making is half of goalkeeping.
Off topic, but does Paul Hollywood strike anyone as a bit of a wanker.
Dat hairy Turkish poznan
Yaya Sanogo to score a hat trick
WHY THE FUCK IS WILSHERE STILL ON
Chill brah, no more subs.
Arseblog retweeted a journalist at the game who said that Juan Mata's dad is in the director's box tonight. Tweet has been deleted now.
JUAN MATA'S FATHER TO ARSENAL CONFIRMED.
Dads love the Arse.
Maybe they got it wrong?
Very possible! :) But who's bored of unsubstantiated transfer rumours? ;)
Pretty impressive that the journalist knew what Mata's dad looked like.
So many glorious beards on Fener
FOR FUCKS SAKE LEAVE WILSHERE ALONE!
How many celebrities is Ramsey going to off this year?
As fener fan, it drives me nuts that we have 0 urgency. I feel robbed, my time wasted. They give 0 fucks every game...What is the deal?
Terrible dive!
Wilshere is getting mugged!
fenerbahce is playing like they borrowed stoke's old rugby tactics
let's hope ramsey's brace means our prime minister's death
3 -0 for Fernabach after 90 min. In Extra time SANOGO GETS THE WINNER!
edit - aaaaaaand that's why I don't gamble
Miley Cyrus gon' die.
Edit: who next...
Ramsey scored a brace. Pretty much confirms that US will attack Syria.
Wow, didn't expect that.
Merts gotta stop this new diving into tackles thing
it'll be refreshing to not automatically associate the name Rio with wanker
Isn't ITV1 streaming today?
Bitch won't load up the page..

Not my stream, the guy has a Reddit account, but I cannot remember what it is
EDIT: Aaaaand it's gone. Bummer. Twitch violation.
I was impressed with Potuk when he came on last week, will be keeping an eye on him tonight, looks a talent.
edit: oh.. he's on the bench
At Fenebahce we don't play our best players. Alex, Potuk, Stoch, etc. Yay
Santi you are a gem
RAMSEY!!!
Wozza please.
damn you guys have slow streams
Hell of a save, what a beast
Mad Jens!
Strong tackle bacary sagna!
Virgin Media commercial with Crouch on ITV is hilarious.
Poldi noooo!!!
Shit it didn't look that serious at first...
How did jenkinson connect with giroud under pressure his back turned...wtf man.
Stay classy emenike.
SANOOGOOO
yay, 30 minutes for Sanogo!
Cazorla is amazing!
Meireles, good player, pure cunt
Great free kick, pity it missed
What a night for Rambo
Nice goal!!
AAAAAAron fkn Ramsey
Great goal
2-0 ramsey!!!
holy shit, Ramsey... whaaaaaaaaat
Yay Ryo!
Can we please go a few minutes without one of our guys going down
Wilshere is getting pummeled :<
Fuck me, does this mean Wishere won't start against Tottenham?
Worst two legged performance I've ever seen by Fenerbahce
yeah, played like crap then went dirty near the end. pretty shameful.
Agreed.
Good for that Austrian team.
Is fener turkish for cunt?
It's 5-0 quit being such cunts
I think that's the very reason they're being such cunts.
Rambooooo! Good start to the season for him
Ramsey is neat.
Itv has a great stream guys. Also that bit with Wenger was great.
Well our lot are being outdone quite handily by the away fans
COYG!!
Really good reflexes from Szczesny there.
ooh nice feet from Theo
Oh Santi. I love you.
done and dusted
RAMBO!!!
playing that christian and selçuk....wtf wtf wtf where is potuk...Give it some depth dumbass.
Cazorla is such a joy to watch on the ball!
my heart...
he didn't even touch the keeper, how is that a foul? If anything keeper is hugging him. what is he supposed to do disappear,?
Wtf was that Szczesny
where is alex to score this?
Nice SZC!!Great saves
Wow.... Impressive saves
Fener not playing as bad as the first game though....
I've been impressed with Jack's strength on the ball tonight.
Also, have there always been so many refs? I just saw one on the sideline, the other on the touch by the goal, and then the center referee on the field?
Seems like there is also a touchline referee on the other side as well?
UEFA competitions have 5. One in the middle, two on either side, and two on either side of the goals. The ones behind the goals are totally useless and frequently miss obvious infringements that take place a yard in front of them. A complete Platini farce because he's afraid of goal-line technology.
Emenike you selfish prick.

Giroud...come on!
Come on Giroud you gotta finish that
Not many Fenerbache flairs itt
Eh the fenerbahce sub isn't that big either. Only like 120 people. But most Fener fans are discouraged by the last game anyways. I'm just watching because its something to keep me distracted from work :P
the fans in London looked happy enough anyway
Oli pls
as a neutral, its a pretty entertaining game. Arsenal is doing good.

Are you talking to yourself?
Scz needs to stop making these dumb moves
noo, giroud's goalscoring record :(
It took more than a season but Walcott has finally produced something remotely productive from a set-piece.
Drinks on me.
RAMSEYYYYYYY
Great finish
RAMSEY!!!!!
deuces for rambo.
