No one else seems to be doing it so I'll try my best. I woke up a bit late, but right now it's 0-0 at 9 min.
th corner banged sround, pv shot blocked over, rp corner banged around for another corner, rp corner ends in a gs shot wide

14 sw cross/shot out for a corner, rp corner comes back to him, cross knocked out for another corner, th corner headed by sc goooooooooooal! damn, disallowed for a push in the box. 0-0
Begie still isn't ready, Wiltord's in midfield and AW probably deosn't trust Frannie for a game this big. Meanwhile, SC wins a great tackle in our box in the 22nd minute.
Ash is down after an "inadvertant" Murphy elbow to the face, but he's up and ready soon enough. Ref calls for a drop ball which the pool knock straight back to Seaman.
I thought Kanu was injured plus he has not seen action in a while. I really thought Jeffers would be out there as he scored the kind of goal he is being paid to score last week.
27 rp takes our 6th corner, which kirkland punches out to midfield. pool seeing more of the ball but they haven't threatened nearly as much as we have.
Kanu saw a bit of time on boxing day, although he didn't look very good iirc. Between the rain, the pressure we're applying and all the corners this would be a good game for a "fox in the box." I wouldn't be surprised if Jeffers comes on for Kanu late in the game. 31 th puts sw through in the box but kirkland read it and had it covered. corner blocked for another corner, sc heads it straight at kirkland. Owen off, El-Hadji Diouf on
35 salif diao sees yellow for taking pv down from behind 25 yards out. ref let play continue because gs won the ball, but he shot wide.
Owen off? Injury? At 2 pm eastern FSW will be showing the Newcastle-Scum game so if you would kindly not post that score it would be much appreciated.
37 rp plays some footwork games in the box, cross goes out for our 9th corner, cleared by gerrard. 39 lb cross headed wide by th
Announcers a re speculating that Owen re-injured his hamstring. He didn't look too bad to me but it's possible on this wet pitch.
Well, Arsenal as a team are playing very well. The defence is doing a good job of containing pressure and the offence has had quite a few dangerous, flowing moves. It almost seems as though Liverpool are concedeing midfield possesion in favor of getting numbers back, which has helped our offence and left theirs out to twist in the wind. I don't know how much faith they have in Kirkland but they're really concentrating on protecting him. This is probably why we've had 9 or 10 corners. I can't really criticize many of the Gunners. Kanu hasn't seen much action but I haven't seen him miss many opportunities to get involved. Liverpool has to change strategies for the second half. If they continue like this Arsenal is sure to score, which could just open up the floodgates.
