Just a heads up, Mertesacker is now known as the BFG, or Big ****ing German.

Love it.

I'd like to order an away kit from worldsoccershop.com Has anyone ordered and are the letters and badges the plastic or felt lettering

I've ordered from Soccerpro twice and all the lettering and badges have been official, nice felt lettering. They're not cheap, though, but their service is excellent.

First thing I read on my phone each morning when I wake up. Without it, I wouldn't be able to just type SZCZ.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Damnit. Rosicky is also out. I'm going with...

SZCZ
Sagna - Koscielny - Mertesacker - Gibbs
Song - Arteta - Benayoun
Gervinho - RVP - Walcott

Replace Yossi with Frimpong and that's my lineup as well.

Could be right. Especially since we're going into the Signal Iduna. I worry about Frimpong with the likes of Gotze running at him. Hopefully he learned a lesson.

How enjoyable was that first half. Dortmund looked great in attack..Gotze is the great. And nice cool finish from RVP. Hope to see Arsenal exploit the back line more as Subotic and Hummels don't look as impressive as usual.

Walcott showing why football was probably the only thing he was good at growing up.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Wow. Wow! What a result.

If anyone is disappointed at that, get the **** out.

Going into not only the Westfalenstadion but against a VERY good Dortmund side and grabbing a draw? Fantastic.

Stealing three points would've been great, but if we play like that there isn't any reason why we shouldn't advance from the group.

They were further up the pitch than normal which is the smart thing to do when the other team can't keep possession in the final 3rd. Thus leaving them more prone to the counter.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

I was all ready to post "one nil to the Arsenal!" and then that brilliant equalizer happened. Either way, it was a crucial draw, and if we play team defense like that all year, I can't wait to see how our back line plays once they've fully gelled and once Vermaelen gets back.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Didn't get to see the game, but from the gamecast, result and watching the goals after, the result was a good one. Would've obviously liked to see the 3 points, but it seemed as if they deserved at least one point for how they played. Their goal too was brilliant, not much we could do about it after clearing the initial ball. Also hearing Theo played well (his assist to RvP was great) so hopefully he can keep form for once and not be in and out of games as much as Arshavin. That was going to be our toughest game in the group stage and we earned a point which is vital. This season looks to be on the up if our defense stays this consistent.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Koscielny is a huge reason for that. He's really developing into quite the player.

Koscielny is a huge reason for that. He's really developing into quite the player.

I've always thought he was going to be good for us. One of his first games after signing with us was Milan in the Emirates Cup and he played fantastic. I think he had just suffered last year from the increased intesity and rigor from jumping from League 2 in France to the Premier League coupled with not really partnering one CB for an extended period.
