The midweek/weekend games thread

QPR defender committed himself lunging in and then just lay there.

completely against the run of play apparently (so basically like every game they've played the last month and a half).

Meh, not really to be honest. It's been low-quality 50-50 stuff so far, as is so often the case in the first half of games these days. QPR have been huffing and puffing and getting in behind now and then, but it's not as though they've been killing the Arse.

I'd be surprised if gooners lose another game this season tbh.

i can see chelsea picking up points when it counts too. hope were up for the challenge.

Villa a very pale shadow when martin o'Neil was there, woeful. Nothing to expect here they are a good team to play to claim 3 points at the mo', no wonder the scum looked good v them, now chelscum.

I'll bet they manage to turn in a decent performance when we meet them though!

Sod's law.

penalty for city right on cue just before half time. good stuff.

Bit unfair, QPR have taken it to them first half, a really good effort from the off

QPR are there for the taking. They are putting little or no pressure on the ball now.
Rabbit. Headlights.

Well, yes, but now the half is over and we can see it in its totality, in truth QPR were just doing the usual struggling team's "blood and thunder" routine for the opening 20 minutes before parity was restored and then Arsenal ended the half on top with 4 or 5 shots in the final 15 minutes. All pretty predictable and I'd be slow to give QPR too much credit.

apparently was a massive dive by dzeko too, good to see Emirates Marketing Project doing things the right way still

 

[GLENROYID]

QPR have more chance of staying up than beating Arsenal today. None.

 

[VolSpur]

Sooo at the half...

1-0 Chelsea
1-0 Everton
2-0 Fulham
2-1 Sunderland
1-1 Arse/QPR
0-0 Wigan/Stoke
0-0 Wolves/Bolton

Stupid thread, no point to it at all

 

[paxtonwolf]

Not expecting anything less than 2 away wins at Villa and QPR, so anything less is an absolute bonus. These arent the games I expect Chelsea or Arsenal to drop points in.
If one of them drops points I'd be amazed, if they both do, well I just dont know

This sums it up pretty much. Only one winner in this game unless Hughes gets into his midfield at half time. I'd take Derry off as he's been totally bypassed. Barton has been poor too. Move Tarrabt into the No10 role. Pray.
