U23s vs Arsenal
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Not an unfair assumption, it's usually the case against our players.me culpa
it is what I've seen when I watch them, but it was a biased assumption
This referee's a right pillock.
Charlie Helm number 6? It's been twice he's given up on a ball.
#6 is Charlie McCann
Sorry, slip of the fingers!
Agreed. Who wants to get in the way of amad hannibal? A calm one is bad enough!
Haha
The commentators really like to talk about the weather; cold, windy, and rainy. Is that an English thing, talking about the weather so much? Every game the same, "it's [random reference] so cold here tonight".
In a word. Yes.
Do you get the impression that it's a bit brass monkeys out there?
We're in England, that's all we talk about...obviously
Pretty much. It's the easiest thing to complain about, and boy do we love to complain.
We would queue to complain.
Well, I'm soon an expert and a weather station will hire me to talk about flurries and humidity.
Random thing: I watch every U23 game and I still have to google because I keep forgetting the name Stanley. A good footballer, but very tiny considering he is one of the older players.
Absolutely, and how physical the Premier League is.
It's just so physical. It's a wonder elite foreign players at elite clubs with elite physical training coaches and elite levels of fitness can cope with the almost gladiatorial conditions when playing in England.
Steve Bould hasn't aged well. Looks like a right bum
Shoretire is a defender's worst nightmare. Always attempting difficult passes with a very high succes rate. Had a couple of great dribbles that should've led to better chances. Sad his free kick hit the crossbar.
Hugill looks like the most passionate player out there. Real team player.
Hope they can squash a 10 man Arse in the 2nd half.

Yep, big yikes. He could have changed his mind 5 seconds later, jogged to it and still kept it in.
Yeah there's some days in England with no rain, Mick.

Arsenal have come out the blocks swinging, probably unlucky not to be level.
Good to see Hannibal.
Dare I say it but Hannibal looks like he has a 'frozen' shoulder
Fernandez and Shoretire have looked lively for us tonight.
Bould comment, that.
Stanely desperately unfortunate not to make it 2-0. Shoretire down injured as well 
have we even got any attacking subs left?
have we even got any attacking subs left?Shoretire down after Stanley misses a chance to make it 2. Very worrying this.
We have two more players left on the bench: Mastny (GK) and Svidersky (DM).Stanely desperately unfortunate not to make it 2-0. Shoretire down injured as well
Amad and Mjebri would have had some fun playing against 10 of Arsenal. The heart has been ripped out of team compared to last few games with these 2 players, not on the pitch. Shoretire is definitely the best player on show tonight bar Arsenal's goalkeeper.
2-0 Hugill
Goalie 
Shame, he had a great game so far.

We've deserved that, not quite sure how he's snuck that in. Fernandez and Shoretire both involved, Fernandez is such a great threat for us down that side.
Wonderful jinx
I like the look of no.5 Gabriel (sp?) - he looks calm on the ball and has good passing range. Wonder how old he is.
Hugil just scored 2-0.
Hugil just scored 2-0.
And Hugill gets a deserved goal with a cheeky back-heeled finish.
Arsenal are getting overrun now. McCann just had a chance to make it 3, but he side-footed his first-time shot to the left post.
Doing the right thing by spreading it wide all the time
Stanley has a lot of bottle
Not really, the weather gets talked about a lot in Australia
For United or Arsenal? Ours is Galbraith.
Been a warrior this half despite the fact the Arsenal defenders are twice his size.
Brilliant
