Good old style FA cup game with some cracking goals and a great performance from The Arsenal.

Negatives first;

Denilson again with the slow jog tracking back after losing possession easily in midfield and getting hit on the break. Can he only run at one speed? Also still has the habit of giving team mates unwanted hospital passes. He is a serious weak link in an ever improving team.

Arshavin-a-laugh. Terrible again. Where has his touch gone? He has serious talent and technique but it appears to have totally evaporated. I'm actually not even frustrated by him any more. Kind of just feel sorry for him tbh...

Benny Bendtner - still has the first touch of a blind rapist!

Chesney - why can't he kick further than 30 yards? :wink: Still a more commanding presence than the other two keepers put together.

The bitter Leeds wankers that decided "we've lost, let's put a few late ones on Fabregas". Cuntbags. :evil:

Positives;

Brilliant goals from RVP, Nasri and Sagna.

Solid performance from Song who worked tirelessly box to box. Slight niggle in that he gave posession away when he tried to be too clever a couple of times but he bossed the midfield. Still not convinced he's good enough at the top level but he did well last night.

Benny's cross for RVP. THAT is what you need to do sometimes instead of always going with the tippy tappy passy pass pass!! Brilliant cross. He's shit but that was magic that cross!

Sagna was awesome. Up and down all night, great use of his pace and a banger of a strike for his goal.

Kos and Johan were both very good. Johan must be our most improved player. I had honestly written him off and am delighted he has improved so much.

Feel similar, although I thought he did seem to be trying to make a contribution last night. Nothing seem to be working for him at present.
Hopefully if he keeps up the effort he can play himself back into form. He just needs a goal, so i would play him in the next 2 home games as they should be straight forward.

Agree. felt he was our man of the match rather than Nasri who - great goal apart - I felt was a little below his normal brilliant self.

Sagna, on the other-hand - leaving aside his wonderful goal - was back to his brilliant self. 8)
Best right back in the league :barscarf:
Thought KG had a great game at left back in place of GC :bowing21:

On a sour note the **** homeys in the west stand abused Theo allnight :sodomite:

Was apprehensive about this game but when it started i knew that we do it and Nasri again showing world class scores a sublime goal.Leeds were mostly chasing like headless chickens and to be honest weren't a threat.Our passing cut through them and all there had to offer was ''graham taylor'' tactic's!!!!! :D .

Must admit a fantastic goal for Leeds but even after that not troubled.Hoping we can do Huddersfield in 1 game next round.

Song was great, just needs to learn not to hold on to the ball as much. But he's still learning, though he worked very hard.

Denilson, can the bloke not track back?

All the rest were superb. Gutted Sagna will miss Barca, he's been back to his best this year
In that case he's been even worse prior to this game than we first thought!! :oops: :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Agree that from where I was sitting hye looked like he gave a shit more than normal but it's just not happening. We actually didn't get on his back last night and chanted his name even after that chance he skied horribly.

It's a bit more than laziness now, think he wants out and you know what these players are like when they want away.

There've been a few stories kicking about of interest from other teams which is agent speak for my client wants away or a pay rise. The latter ain't going to f***ing happen with his form som inclined to believe it's the former.

If he wants out, get rid and use the money.

Denilson is just a useless waste of two Brazilian feet.

Good night though, even if the train journey meant getting home at 3am from LEEDS :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Roll on the dingles from 'Uddersfield'

I'd agree with that 100% Saves posting! Ta. :wink:
I don't with the negatives but hey ho!
Arshavin is suffering a serious dip in confidence. I think a bit of patience is needed with him at the moment.

Coulnt agree any more than that.
Thats how a home team backs their lads, all sides of the ground give it something.
Good trip all round.

I know it's a couple of days on but would like say hats off to 2 people:

Whoever started up the song 'Your Dad is a wanker 'sung to the Eboue tune which was aimed at Kasper for the last 10 mins - quality!

Also, leaving the ground, passed a Gooner, shirt off, with the AFC crest tatooed on his chest as he walked through the middle of the locals. I would like to buy you a beer Sir!!

Fine evening :barscarf:
