People really need to stop saying that being able to play somewhat attacking football and being able to park the bus is considered 'better tactics' than a team that plays the same style every game. All that plan A and plan B bullshit is ridiculous.

Liverpool could park the bus if they wanted to. Bayern could park the bus if they wanted to. But the fact that they hold true with their club philosophy means that they can perform their style better and it connects more with fans/attracts more fans. This is why people love Blackpool's PL season, and Swansea as well. They have limited resources but they still play their own game/style which is attacking football. And it's also the reason why a lot of people have a strong dislike for Chelsea, and that's even more strongly fueled because there's an abrasive cunt managing the team.

Also, you can't honestly say Bayern this year is better than last year or vice versa. Season isn't even over yet and lots of different factors can change the outcome of any team's standing in the league or European competition. Luck of the draw, form of the day against a certain opponent or the opponents' form, luck in the game all matter a lot.

And to say Guardiola isn't among the top managers is absolutely ludicrous.

well Heynkes already finished Bundesliga with a higher point record than Bayern can achieve this season.
So one could say that Bayern being worse this season is already a fact. ^^

1-0 Arsenal, Cazorla with a fantastic freekick ball in and a tap in for Kolscielny. Podolski just had a 1 on 1 saved.

And you forget that Chelsea only play this way away from home against the top teams.
Chelsea are 2nd highest average of possession in premier league this season with 55%
2nd highest shots in the league
and 3rd highest scorers

Park the bus championssssssssss

Lol. Looks like Ramsey is the new Ozil. The radio commentators are comparing him to yaya toure.

Woot. And as I say that Newcastle falls asleep and Ozil scores.

That's what he was like in the first half of the season before he got injured. Ramsey is a god.

Was this sarcastic? I've only half been paying attention half reading but I haven't seen a single empty seat. I guess we can only see the bottom tier maybe their all empty up top or something.

Nah there are empty seats everywhere. Probably like 40,000 at this game, maybe less.

Lol at the 2-0 Giroud places the ball right on Krul and then cannot be bothered to care and just smashes it (in hindsight it probably was going in, fair play to Krul), ball rebounds to Özil who I think nutmegs Debuchy for the goal. At least I get assist points on Giroud for that. Özil was offside as well, on second viewing.

Interesting to see where David Marshall plays next season. The mother-fucker's saved 145(!) shots thus far this season. Mental. Wouldn't mind us picking him up to play if Woj starts fucking up again, now that Fab is leaving.

And Ozil/Ramsay provide assist for Giroud. 3-0 arsenal.

Oh, you beautiful Frenchman. Özil getting going again with some slick passing.

Can't wait to hear The True Geordie's rant after this game.
