1. Surprised that this match is not being televised. Is there a stream available?

2. anybody want a link via online streaming?

3. Not all the press is negative….

   Here is an interesting story for once

4. Thanks for the link Chris: there are a few like this around at the moment. I suspect there is a certain amount of hedging of bets now, given the wholly negative press Arsenal were given pre-season.

5. Menace, try:www.cricfree.net. It’s usually reliable & free of any virius’

6. Mobdro seems ok. Might be on one of the American channels?

    Is this because i am over VPN?

11. Good evening Mr Drummond. From the stat you have provided, Arsenal have had 13 consecutives Cups success over Reading that dated back as far as 1935. Wow!

    Let me assure all and sundry in the rank and file of the Gooners that this Cup winning run by Arsenal over Reading will this night at the Ems continue unabated. We can count and depend on Arsenal backup team to whitewash Reading 4-0 @FT.

    I’ve since seen Le Prof’s starts and bench for this match. And the only area where I didn’t accurately get his starts is in the mid front 3 and striker start. Le prof preferred Perez to lead the line to my Olivier Giroud who he has benched. I had Iwobi as my playmaker but Adelaide is preferred for that role while Iwobi retains his mid left role and Oxchambo stays on the right wing where I start him.

    On Le Prof’s bench, i think I got 4 of his bench accurately.

12. Arsenal is attacking well, Reading keeper with couple of saves. it’s not really a full house at the Emirates but the fans is making great noises

13. Liverpool is 1 up against Tiny Totts

14. We can’t seem to keep the ball beyond the half way line. Some awful passing…

15. i think Tony theories about some fans getting into the ground quite late is accurate. now the Emirates is full house. Arsenal with a couple of good chances to open the score but just cannot find the breakthrough

16. Jenko seem to be having a good game tonite

17. the Ox just open the score

18. with a low drive to the right hand post. quality finish

19. My running thoughts during 1st half game:

    Mait Niles needs to be just a little quicker when he gets the ball.

    That foul on Elneny was deliberate, see him walking away after the foul like in a movie, job done.

    Shot first time, once you hesitate you miss.

    OX!!!!!!! Beautiful.

    Love the crowd cheering every good play made by Arsenal and Aww-ing plays that dont work.

    Ohhh! Lucky – Unlucky.( Reading shot that nearly bounced over Martinez head.)

    Ohh!, aww not that close. (M-Niles shot.)

    See how Reading shoot into the crowd in the box? We should do that when we come up against teams like last week.

    Impress with the way they are playing, even though its Reading, but it gives them much needed playing time for when they are needed in 1st team.

20. The person providing the stream is showing the goal from as many angles as they have all throughout the break.
    An also all the exciting hilites.
    BEIN i think. Good coverage they seem to do.

21. Now showing the kick about before the start of the game too.

    Someone too far awaw lobbing balls to i think Giroud, and he just scored a volley, hopes he does that in game if he plays.

22. Thanks Leon it’s good. Was watching the Liverpool spuds game on sky. Nothing too exciting.

23. The refs been weak but nice to see him correctly giving Moore a yellow card for a foul similar to Xhakas foul the other week which the Idiot ref gave a red for!

24. If anyone doesn’t know. Ox got the 2nd.

25. The tackle on Giroud that got the Reading guy a yellow card was the same as the one that got Xhaka a red

26. Yes Leon. This ref learnt from Mr Moss that if you make a dumb mistake like giving a red for a yellow offence then you get demoted for a game or two!

27. Ox where are you? Ok i’ll forgive you as you scored.

    Jeff, be quicker in passing. I mean release the ball earlier.

    Ox bad luck.

    Lukas, dont hesitate.

    Lads are enjoying themselves.

    Good recover Gibsy.

    Dont delay the shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Come on, relax, and pass earlier.

    Was ordering some food.

    Giroud in the fray? Yea.

    These contact fouls should always be a warning card, they cause so many injuries.

    Oh,, Ohh i dont believe that. Good save Reading GK.

    There was a foul there too on one of our players.

    We need one more to keep them quiet lads.

    Ohhh, and ohhh again. (Ox shot and not falling for Iwobi)

    Should be a card.

    Yea about time.

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The Ox

    Deflection??

    Cards coming out now.

    Zelalem? Havent seem him in a while.

    Willie Willie!. (Willocks attempted shot)

    Niles is a little slow or unfit today?

    That was a foul.

    Good save man.

    Floater floater.

    Martinez is going to give Chezzy some good pressure.

    Nice easish win lads, well done.

28. match report is on line

29. Para, I think the one you refer to as “Lukas, don’t hesitate” was where he faked a shot and was hoping the defender would dive across him, so he could turn inside. Unfortunately the defender didn’t buy it (probably too slow to even understand it…).
    So he ended up hitting it on his 3rd touch.

    First game I’ve been disappointed with AM-N. Not that he was bad but usually he just ‘fits in.

30. Andy Mack / Leon the yellow was a dark yellow as per the boss. Walter would say straight red as per FIFA directives.

31. Just to back up Walter’s note earlier – the match report is now available

32. Para, thanks. Sorry I only saw this waiting in moderation (there because it contained two links) after the match, but I have included it for anyone who wants to know in the future.)
