Open Thread: so, anyone playing today?

To dive, or not to dive?

To dive, or not to dive?

Any games of note today? Well, besides the Chelsea/Bolton tilt in the Carling Cup. Two teams probably with Swine Flu. Who shall win!?!?!

And then… I remember. Manchester City vs. Scunthorpe Liverpool vs. Arsenal, for some royally inconsequential bragging rights. Rafa Benitez and his band of chronically-afflicted underdogs v. Arsene Wenger and his Traveling Circus of Aesthetes. A complete toss-up, but, if Wenger pulls out his band of precocious teens, it could be a massacre.

The biggest fun will come in seeing which manager blinks first and puts out a starting XI that isn’t hilariously understrength. But for us LFC fans, we might get a proper look at Alberto Aquilani, and that’s good, right?

Lineups after the jump, and let’s all see whose team is the best at winning games no-one cares about.

And to be expected, Rafa makes 10 changes while Wenger makes 11. I despair. Why even bother entering this competition?!?!

Arsenal (4-1-2-3) Fabianski; Gilbert, Senderos, Silvestre, Gibbs; Eastmond; Nasri, Ramsey; Bendtner, Eduardo, Merida.
Subs: Szczesny, Bartley, Coquelin, Frimpong, Randall, Sunu, Watt.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1) Cavalieri; Degen, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Insua; Spearing, Plessis; Kuyt, Voronin, Babel; Ngog.
Subs: Reina, Aquilani, Benayoun, Darby, Dossena, Eccleston, Ayala.

    Rafa is starting Kristin Cavalleri in goal?

    /recycled joke

    What can you tell me about this Spearing fellow? I’m not familiar with his work.

  3. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:39 WhiteSpeedReceiver says:

    Just how many Jay Spearings are there?

  4. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:44 Anonsters says:

    How could you have left out Juve v. Sampdoria?? Big Serie A fixture.

  5. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:47 Georger says:

    Did they just introduce the Arnenal players by first name only? Gay.

  6. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:48 Georger says:

    Philly Phanatic making an appearance.

  7. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:48 MCR says:

    Because, to quote a friend of mine, Italy is gay as fuck.

    Of course, he switched his allegiance from Milan to Inter over the summer, so he may not be entirely trustworthy.

  8. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:48 Magnakai Haaskivi says:

    Jay Spearing looks like he might be a midget.

  9. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:49 sven says:

    @The NY Kid — That’s a goal-line stand I’d like to make.

  10. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:49 Georger says:

    No announcer on 360, this is weird.

  11. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:50 The NY Kid says:

    @HL – Spearing is a born-and-bred Merseysider, Liverpool youth team, etc., etc. I believe he’s 20 yrs old.

  12. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:51 Georger says:

    He’s the white Edgar Davids.

  13. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:51 Highbury Library says:

    @NYK

    Thanks. I obviously know about our youngsters but am embarrassingly unfamiliar with the rest of the big 4.

    MCR: Talkin’ about my motherland, there, bucko. Watch out.

  15. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:53 GeneralGametime says:

    I’m trying to figure out if I prefer no commentary or some foreign language. Not having anything is kind of freaking me out. I will take the picture quality any day though. Almost as good as FSC.

  16. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:54 Highbury Library says:

    Citeh is dead serious about winning the CC. Yet another nearly first team starting XI.

  17. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:54 Georger says:

    “MCR: Talkin’ about my motherland, there, bucko. Watch out.”

    So you no doubt are enjoying the Plessis butt shot on the screen right now.

  18. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:55 Steve says:

    I love 360. But I hate when I have to install or update it. For some reason it never works smoothly.

  19. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:56 Georger says:

    I installed the software last night, and it had to patch before the game today. Not as tedious at the CBS March Madness stuff.

  20. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:56 Highbury Library says:

    Caroline Cheese, God you’re dumb. “1953: Nicklas Bendtner gives the ball away to Ryan Babel, who promptly gives it straight back to Jack Wilshere. Shot eventually blocked by the Liverpool defence. ” Considering that Jack is not dressed, FAIL.

  21. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:57 Magnakai Haaskivi says:

    360 is cool, but it doesn’t play nice with Firefox.

    Or, rather, it doesn’t play nice with Firefox when there’s only 256 MB of RAM to spread around. I fucking hate watching at work.

  22. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:57 The NY Kid says:

    I’m not watching, but I’m assuming that she confused Ramsey with Wilshere. All those white kids look alike.

  23. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:57 Highbury Library says:

    She did issue a correction.

  24. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:58 Georger says:

    Should’ve scored there. When did Ngog learn to touch?

  25. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:58 Steve says:

    All I have is an “upgrading player” note and a twirly circle thing (apologies for the technical jargon, I’ll try to bring it back down to UF level). No idea of where it’s at in the process or anything. Ah well. Anything exciting going on besides Jack Wilshere’s ghost on the field?

  26. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:58 Anonsters says:

    “So you no doubt are enjoying the Plessis butt shot on the screen right now.”

    I’m watching the Juve-Samp match. Where else will you find a central defender who spends more time attacking the opposition’s penalty area than defending? :P I’ll catch the Englsh stuff on replay.

  27. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:59 Precious Roy says:

    I looked at Liverpool’s lineup and thought “Arsenal should win” then I saw Senderos was playing.

  28. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:59 GeneralGametime says:

    Hey! Commentary. Good work ESPN.

  29. On October 28, 2009 @ 15:59 Georger says:

    Diving cunt.

    Any time Willy Galgas is playing?

  31. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:00 jape says:

    Weak effort by Nasri.

  32. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:01 MCR says:

    In any Arsenal match, of course. We didn’t sign the Verminator for nothing.

  33. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:01 Georger says:

    Eastmond passes to Kodak

  34. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:02 Anonsters says:

    “Any time Willy Galgas is playing?”

    I should have said, “And does both well.”

    Giorgio Chiellini, ftw.

  35. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:03 Georger says:

    Jesus Senderos AND Degen in the same game, London is the nexus of shit tonight.

  36. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:04 Georger says:

    Fabianski just got showed up by Voronin, not a good sign.

  37. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:04 Georger says:

    Eccleston better get on tonight.

  38. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:06 Georger says:

    The fuck was that?

  39. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:06 Highbury Library says:

    HAHA Bendtner you useless cunt.

  40. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:06 MCR says:

    Damnit Bendy! Don’t forget to shoot!

  41. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:06 GeneralGametime says:

    shoot for fucks sake.

  42. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:08 Georger says:

    Voronin you useless cunt.

    Fantastic!

  46. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:08 GeneralGametime says:

    Merida is the only guy not afraid to take a crack. And look what happens. What a strike.

  47. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:09 jape says:

    Nice “Good, Bad, WTF” hat Cesc – christ.

    I need to go to our IT department with a baggie of blow and a stripper and tell someone they better start allowing me access to pirated Iraqi feeds of European soccer.

  49. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:10 jape says:

    Spearing is 20 y/o? He looks closer to 45.

  50. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:11 Georger says:

    Cavielieri should have had it too. This is why I don’t get playing more kids, when some of your reserves are fucking awful, what’s the point of playing them in favor of prospects?

  51. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:12 Georger says:

    Hahahah holy shit he wasn’t kidding about City, that team sheet is ridiculous.

  52. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:13 Anonsters says:

    Diego corner drops right in front of goal, Amauri pokes it in with his bright-red boots. Juve 1, Samp 0.

  53. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:13 jape says:

    Senderos with a tidy piece of defending.

  54. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:15 Georger says:

    GOAL OF THE WEEK MOTHER FUCKERS

  55. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:15 MCR says:

    Holy shit, what a goal from Insua.

  56. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:15 Highbury Library says:

    Oh goddammit.

  57. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:15 Precious Roy says:

    Senderos with a tidy piece of defending.

    Not possible.

  58. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:15 GeneralGametime says:

    Not much you can do about that.

  59. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:16 Georger says:

    “Not possible.”
    It was on Voronin …

  60. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:16 Ryan says:

    Well, you’re not going to believe this, but City’s backline defends like shit and gives up a goal to Scunny. 1-1.

  61. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:16 Georger says:

    Scunthorpe levels against City.

    The Duke Brothers nod in silent approval.

  62. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:17 Highbury Library says:

    Come on Scunthorpe!

  63. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:18 Georger says:

    One of Arsene’s anal beads is on the field, medium style.

  64. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:19 jape says:

    Senderos with a lucky toe poke. /fixed.

    Everytime I see Senderos I can’t not imagine him getting turned inside and out three times over by Benny McCarthy from a few years ago. It is a sad thing.

  65. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:19 Georger says:

    Merida looks outstanding, granted it’s been against Spearing and Voronin, and he has the full force of the Death Star in front of him in the first team blocking his way.

  66. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:19 Precious Roy says:

    Shit we can’t even keep a clean sheet with our first choice back line. Silvestre and Senderos is barely better than Colashipment.

  67. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:22 Highbury Library says:

    Sloppy, sloppy sloppy. Both sides.

  68. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:23 Georger says:

    Ah yes a reminder of Julio Baptista’s prowess in this competition, puts things in perspective.

  69. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:23 Steve says:

    Bendtner’s been hanging out with Eddie.

  70. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:24 Georger says:

    Arsenal players going down awwwwwful quick.

  71. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:25 Georger says:

    Go faster Kieran, Kieran is gaining on us!

  72. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:25 jape says:

    Nice bit of perspective showing the Merida replay right after Bentner’s weak shot from close to the same spot.

  73. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:27 Precious Roy says:

    Do Chelsea ever play teams not in the bottom half of the table?

  74. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:28 Georger says:

    City back on top.

  75. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:28 Georger says:

    God damnit Voronin has no soccer smarts.

  76. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:29 Death Cab for Woody says:

    Chelsea’s ability to involuntarily navigate the league schedule/cup draws and the normal landmines is beyond comprehension.

  77. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:29 Precious Roy says:

    Holy shit, after Frimpong and Sanchez Watt you could have shown me the names of the bench players and I would have thought they were made up, not Gunners.

    We even have a Sununu (almost).

  78. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:30 jape says:

    They should bring on Sununu for Bentner – he is having a fucking awful game. Can’t finish, can’t cross, dribbled the ball directly out of bounds. the fuck?

  79. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:31 Anonsters says:

    Amauri on the ball on the left, receives a pass into the penalty area from Chiellini who made a run forward; Amauri uses a few step-overs, shuffles to his left, passes the ball into the heart of the penalty area, where Chiellini pokes the ball into Samp’s net. Juve 2, Samp 0.

  80. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:31 GeneralGametime says:

    Arsenal brought the passing boots today.

  81. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:31 Georger says:

    The announcer is masturbating right now.

  82. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:32 Georger says:

    JESUS CHRIST WHY IS THIS KEEPER PLAYING

  83. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:32 GeneralGametime says:

    Holy shit. How do you not score that? Bendtner is having a bit of a shocker.

  84. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:33 jape says:

    I can see how Bentner drove his car off the road into a tree. It’s painfully clear right now.

  85. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:34 Anonsters says:

    jape: But God saved him.

    A gift to us Spurs fans, if you will.

  86. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:35 Highbury Library says:

    Oh for fuck’s sake Bendtner.

  87. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:38 Precious Roy says:

    Maybe it’s better that I can’t see it. Seems like 09-10 Bendtner is the same as the 08-09 model.

  88. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:42 Georger says:

    Tommy Smith thinks Schevchenko is a good player. Hilarious.

  99. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:56 Georger says:

    Thank GOD Agger is healthy (for now) because Skrtel is playing like a bad joke.

  100. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:57 Death Cab for Woody says:

    Skrtel hasnt been the same since the head injury…too bad…he was a rock last season

  101. On October 28, 2009 @ 16:57 jape says:

    Ah Bentner! God saved you for Spurs and that goal. Nice work.

  104. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:00 Precious Roy says:

    O/U until we concede the equalizer? I’m putting it at 12 minutes.

  105. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:01 Georger says:

    Vintage Arsenal, lots of passing and a shit finish.

    Wait that was Liverpool.

  106. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:01 Anonsters says:

    Now let us pray that he plays, and sucks, in the derby. :D

    And Jeebus. Roma 1, Udinese 1, and Roma is down to 10 men. Roma – Totti = Shit. On the other hand, Milan is winning on the strength of 2 goals in the first 5 minutes, one by the ancient Inzaghi and one by the swaddling youngster Pato.

  107. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:01 Georger says:

    I mean really, you have to worry that two of the worst players to ever play for this club just pulled off TWO one-twos

  108. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:02 jape says:

    Almost less. “pool youngsters with some crazy one-two passing.

  109. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:02 Highbury Library says:

    This feels like a late one. I’ll take the over, and the 86th to be precise.

    Gibbs – get stuck in, lad!

  111. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:02 Georger says:

    Uh those are two of our oldest players.

    Thanks Georger. That is very nice of you to say.

  114. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:04 Highbury Library says:

    When do we see Aquilani?

  115. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:04 Anonsters says:

    Fantastic header into the corner of the Samp net by Amauri, on a perfect Camoranesi pass. Juve 4, Samp 0.

  116. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:05 sven says:

    When do we see Aquilani?

    Soon, we hope.

  117. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:05 Georger says:

    These turnovers are fucking hilarious. Such a sloppy, sloppy team.

  118. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:06 jape says:

  119. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:06 Anonsters says:

    Sampdoria pull one back with a header by the man in the Crazy mask. 4-1.

    Yeah, about Italian football…

  122. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:08 Highbury Library says:

    Silvestre with an excellent tackle? What?!

  123. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:09 Anonsters says:

    OK, definitely the sign that I’m watching Italian football…

    A striker is substituted onto the pitch, and they show his mother watching from a box seat. Heh.

  128. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:12 whizalen says:

    does Chelsea have no faith in its youth system? They typically play a strong team in the CC too

  129. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:13 Highbury Library says:

    Deco, 3-0.

  130. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:13 Georger says:

    I want Dirty Sanchez on for Eduardo.

  132. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:15 Georger says:

    Seriously, again, if Rafa just so fucking thrilled with this team’s performance?

  133. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:16 Death Cab for Woody says:

    Deco…a fine product of that Chelsea Youth System *tic

  134. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:17 Georger says:

    Rafa Crouching Aquilani before he even makes his first team debut.

  135. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:18 WhiteSpeedReceiver says:

    Chelsea’s Youth System = overpaying for 17 year olds, right?

  136. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:18 whizalen says:

    still no aquilani, huh? good thing there was no hype surrounding his first game….

  137. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:19 whizalen says:

    @WSR — yes. well, they have to steal them from another team first, but then they can continue the find tradition of NEVER playing them in a non-reserve game

  138. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:20 Georger says:

    Does Rafa even have anyone fucking warming up? Manage the team you douchebag.

  139. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:20 whizalen says:

    @ georger — like the analogy.

  140. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:20 Georger says:

    Rafa clearly has no faith in the second most expensive player the team has ever bought.

    To follow up on my earlier prediction, it will be Super Jew in the 86th.

  142. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:21 Georger says:

    Spearing playing the Mascherano “just give the ball away with a chucked shot” role tonight.

  143. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:22 whizalen says:

    @HL — prolly. or Dirty will seal it for us

  144. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:23 Georger says:

    So which one of these douchecanoes breaks his leg in two minutes?

  145. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:23 whizalen says:

    Torres most expensive I presume? Or was it Voronin?

  146. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:24 Georger says:

    Torres, even though none of those fees were actually disclosed.

  147. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:24 WhiteSpeedReceiver says:

    Obviously Kuyt, Whiz.

  148. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:24 Georger says:

    Nice clearance back to Fabianski by Voronin. Good call keeping him on dipshit.

  149. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:26 Georger says:

    Babel whiffs on another sitter. Back to Holland with you cunt.

  150. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:26 Highbury Library says:

    Oh, Babel. Arsenal doing their best to give this away.

  151. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:27 Georger says:

    FISTED!

  152. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:28 hockalees says:

    Just got out of an afternoon-long meeting… FFS CLEAR THE BALL OUT WHOEVER THE ARSENAL DEFENDERS ARE!!!!

  153. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:28 Georger says:

    GOD DAMNIT BABEL

  154. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:28 Highbury Library says:

    As usual, this will be a very nervy 10 minutes for Gooners.

  155. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:29 Georger says:

    Wow that pass was absolutely perfect, at least he didn’t get more playing time tonight.

  156. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:30 hockalees says:

    Good lord… just heard the announcer utter Silvestre and Senderos with touches at the back… how are we leading in this match?

  157. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:30 Georger says:

    Because Andriy Voronin thinks red=Liverpool?

  158. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:31 whizalen says:

    @HL — at work, so I can’t do the, “walk around, rubbing my head, chanting ‘oh fuck oh fuck’” every time ‘pool’s got the ball. See: Sunday vs. West Ham. I think my dad thinks I’m crazy

  159. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:31 Highbury Library says:

    @Hockalees

    Because Babel is shit.

  160. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:31 Georger says:

    Few things piss me off more than losing without using all the subs in a cup match. He CONTINUES to favor people who have no future over giving youngsters time, infuriating.

  161. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:32 hockalees says:

    I have been watching for 5 mins now and I have run out of fingers to count the times an Arsenal defender half-ass runs to a ball and pokes it sheepishly… we are not holding this lead.

  162. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:33 Georger says:

    Seriously you’re winning because Voronin is an embarrassment, to answer the question.

  163. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:33 Highbury Library says:

    Ramsey, what the shit, son?

  164. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:33 hockalees says:

    Coq au vin?!?! Quoi?!?

  165. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:33 Georger says:

    Miles onside. Fuck you Arsenal.

  166. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:35 hockalees says:

    You know.. it is really frustrating to the true fans that both coaches use these cup games as a chance for the youngsters… neither of these lineups wins a cup.

  167. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:37 Georger says:

    Well we’ve got the FA Cup at least.

  168. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:39 Georger says:

    THATS A FUCKING PENALTY

  169. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:39 Anonsters says:

    Wow. Looked like handball to me.

  170. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:40 whizalen says:

    no glory in madrid this may?

  171. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:40 Steve says:

    Senderos with the catch.

  172. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:40 Georger says:

    Wrongly have a 1 v 1 taken away, and a double handball. Yep, Arsenal are the new United.

  173. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:41 Georger says:

    What the hell is Cavilieri doing?

    Meaningless tournament but would have been nice to get one more round so that … Voronin could play? Nevermind.

  174. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:41 Steve says:

    At least Aquilani made the pitch?

  175. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:42 hockalees says:

    @Georger
    Love the avatar, BTW, I’m Dr. Rockzo, the rock and roll clown! I do cocaine!

  176. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:43 Georger says:

    Yeah, he made some nice passes too, and had a great touchdown pass that Senderos could only bobble like a hot potato.

  177. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:43 Highbury Library says:

    Were Senderos’ arms in unnatural defensive position? That’s the question as it was surely ball-to-hand.

  178. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:44 Anonsters says:

    lololol. Milan conceded 2 goals in extra time to a side with only 10 men. Result: 2-2 draw.

  179. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:44 Georger says:

    I don’t think they were, but the 1v1 horrible offside call was more irritating.

    But when you have Babel not being able to beat a kid once, you don’t deserve to get it to extra time.

  180. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:45 Georger says:

    Milan were at ten men too weren’t they? Still, hilarity.

  181. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:48 Anonsters says:

    Yeah, it was Milan who was down to 10 men, not Napoli. My bad. Still. 2 goals in 5 minutes of ET? And Roma lost to Udinese, too.

  182. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:49 Georger says:

    Payback for Nesta’s comeback against Chievo.

    What’s a “Cultural Leonesa?”

  183. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:50 hockalees says:

    So what you guys are saying is that ‘Pool were essentially eliminated from a competition because of a penalty not given?

    As an Arsenal fan I have no idea how that must feel.

  184. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:51 Anonsters says:

    Georger: I’m going to guess a stain on the bottom of Barca’s boots.

  185. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:51 Georger says:

    No they were eliminated because Voronin and Babel are a fucking joke, and Degen and Ngog were the only ones creating and got taken off by bizarro Rafa.

  186. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:53 Georger says:

    They have a very bland wikipedia page

    Check out the killer jersey colors.

  187. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:55 hockalees says:

    Back to a point in one of my comments above, though, Citeh’s goals today come from Lescott, Ireland, Santa Cruz, Tevez and Johnson… Spartak London’s from Kalou, Malouda, Deco and Drogba. I really wish AW would _try_ and win this competition. Just once.

  188. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:56 Georger says:

    You played Nasri, Eduardo, Bendtner, Senderos, and Silvestre, not exactly an inexperienced bunch. Fabianksi has played some games and Gibbs got CL time.

  189. On October 28, 2009 @ 17:59 Anonsters says:

    I’m digging Cultural Leonesa’s kits. I think you just found my Halloween costume for me, Georger.

  190. On October 28, 2009 @ 18:03 Anonsters says:

    I’m also digging the trophy for the DFB-Pokal in Germany. It looks like it was taken from a 5th century German barbarian’s mead hall.

  191. On October 28, 2009 @ 19:03 GeneralGametime says:

    This game just affirmed why I love watching Arsenal in the Carling Cup. Giving youngsters like Merida a run against Liverpool will only help. I would rather have these guys get the experience (and Vela and Wilshire when they get back) and play really entertaining soccer than risk Arshavin, Cesc, etc. in what is really a meaningless tourney.

    Good times.
