Match Day Burnley v Arsenal, Sunday 2nd October 16:30

Match chat.

Burnley are in a bit of bother up front now then, and given the way they play I can't see them bothering Arsenal at all without their main (only?) goal threat. Set pieces their only chance?
0-3. A while before the first goal, then floodgates.

 

[Benji]

Burnley are executing the same plan than got them a 2-0 win against Liverpool. Pretty effective. Missed some of the first half, but the only good chance fell to Vokes, whereas Arsenal have struggled to get a decent shot off.

 

[Benji]

This is an awful match.

 

[Bilo]

Just tuned in. Starting to look like a decent weekend for us.

 

[Bilo]

Oh get to fuck.

 

[Bilo]

Koscielny with a great punch to make it 1-0.

Edit: He was also offside. Jesus christ.

 

[Silver Stone]

I'd be pissed if I was a Burnley fan or a fan of one of the other title contenders, but you can't disallow that.

 

[Laker]

Handball all day long.

 

[Storzy]

Deserved win. Smashed 'em.

EDIT: All joking aside....

If Kos is a handball, then so was Keane's hand ball in the penalty area earlier. It's the exact same thing. I mean the EXACT same thing.

 

[Super_horns]

Unlucky Burnley!

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Surely Koscielny is offside as well?

 

[Bilo]

Amazing.

 

[Laker]

Completely forgot about the offside. Goal should never have stood.

 

[Storzy]

Yeah the offside complaint was why I didn't even celebrate the winner at first.

 

[Pagnell]

Damn harsh on Burnley that. That goal being given in the 10th minute would be a pisser, but with seconds to go? Lucky Arsenal.

 

[Nilsson]

Damn harsh on Barnsley that. That goal being given in the 10th minute would be a pisser, but with seconds to go? Lucky Arsenal.

don't you mean Burnley! Ha!

 

[Pagnell]

Eh?

 

[Nilsson]

 

[Storzy]

Apparently Wenger didn't see it?

20 year anniversery and he didnt see it, classic.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Didn't catch the second half but Burnley seemed very organised first half just as they were against Watford, think teams will find it difficult at Turf Moor as their home form is going to be key to survival, in the end a good 3 points for Arsenal. Will be interested to see the winning goal on Match of the day, only 4 points off top spot now Arsenal, going under the radar a little.

 

[smat]

sorry to everyone who is really upset haha

 

[Leo]

Apologies if I upset any Burnley or Arsenal fans but for the neutral that was one utterly depressing game to watch. What I would say though if there were any ultra fans of passing backwards they would be over the moon......
