Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Mostly lol so far.

Any chance of an orange ball later today?

Ha, I was just saying the same thing! Didn't like the blue lines at Newcastle yesterday though.

This is getting mostly sad tbh.

Are there any curbs on your stream showing blue lines?

tut tut

ENTER THE JENK

I don't think anyone on Sky has even questioned it.

...or not :(

stop saying "Wenga" Niall

ok torres has lost it, there's conclusive proof

*I* would have done better there

Bloody hell. Is it that Torres has forgotten how to play football?

Ten-man Chelsea giving Arsenal the runaround here

Pitch inspection at Spurs at 2.50pm. What's the fucking point leaving it that late?

GET INVOLVED
Matt from London on text via 81111: "All Arsenal players wearing long sleeve shirts, most wearing gloves, all look like they'd rather be indoors. Five Chelsea players wearing short sleeve shirts & are well up for it. Arsenal don't have the fight for unfavourable conditions."

GET INVOLVED
Tim Taylor, a frustrated Arsenal fan, on text via 81111: "In response to Matt's text, the Arsenal captain chooses whether the team wear long or short sleeves. It means that all the players wear the same sleeve length so the team looks smart."

INVOLVEMENT

they should really be able to play today

All Arsenal players wearing long sleeve shirts, most wearing gloves, all look like they'd rather be indoors.

There like this for the majority of the season

ah, le gif juste

Arsenal need a manlier captain, that'd solve everything

hey guys

guys

maybe Arsenal should sack Wenger and replace him with Nigel Adkins at half time

Neville calls the dive

looks like a deep pang of existential sorrow for sagna there bolo

the guardian posted a series of snow fitba videos but i) they were mostly shitty english teams from the 80s or whatever and ii) most of them were just about a cm of lying snow whereas this, featuring a load of brazilian internationals in a ukrainian blizzard, is rather more like it

Not bad, but I'll only be really impressed when I see Formula One in the snow

is this true?

England: funny shit, man

presumably beach football skills would sort of translate

hm good point actually

Not bad, but I'll only be really impressed when I see Formula One in the snow

or beach volleyball

Arsenal bossing these three minutes just like they bossed the first three minutes

Has been snowing all day in N16, without a break, and seems to be getting heavier. Even if the pitch is ok now, it's almost certainly going to get worse as the game goes on.

I always understood it to be more about whether transport is affected than about the pitch

the epl needs snow fitba, fuck them if they cancel

Goal!

arsenal's tactic, 'walcott', pays off at last

Hilarious passage of play, good finish at last. Lovely from Cazorla.

lol at long, lingering shot of Ba cowering somewhere behind a chair in which the Chelsea doctor is sitting

more gratuitous shots of chelsea's photogenic Lady Doctor

ha xp

#MUFC kitman Albert just walked off the #THFC pitch and said: 'No danger, let's get it fucking going.' That's the spirit!

i used to know a kid whose dad was a director/editor or something for sky sports back in the day

difficult marriage iirc, doubtless a lot of time spent in dank travelodge bars with keysy and graysy and the other ladsies

game's on apparently

Woo!

Torres/Mertesacker was the most heartbreaking duel ever

torres looking actually fast there for the first time in ages

first touch of lavrentiy beria tho

Can't work out if it was Torres looking dangerous or Vermaelen just being shit.

Also lol Arshavin.

would be amazing to see an Arshavin/Torres front two

Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Caulker, Naughton, Parker, Dembele, Bale, Lennon, Dempsey, Defoe

De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Jones, Cleverley, Kagawa, RVP, Welbeck

We have no fit wingers?

Valencia on the bench. No Nani
