Arsenal vs. Panathinaikos (R) PBP thread

11th. Basinas has another go, but it deflects off Vieira and Lehmann collects.

16th minute. Maric hauls down Vieira. Penalty.

 

18th minute. Gonzalez booked for clattering Vieira, and a series of hard fouls is going by.

 

Ok 1-0-now let's not forget that we have like 70 minutes of footie left to play and stick to our game! Go Gunners!

 

Sorry about that being out of order. I switched PC's for a few moments.

 

I have neither audio nor video but it seems from match commentary that Bergie's playing one of his best games of the year? Is this accurate?

 

Looks like Henry is stepping up with more shots on goal after the PK!

Go Gunners!

 

19th Skakel goes to ground to win a free kick. Light challenges blowing over players, as Vieira's penalty might nor have been the hardest foul, either.

22nd... Henry triggers Bergkamp, and Kotsios fouls him. Henry's free kick saved by Chalkias.

 

23rd. Ljungberg tries to set up Pires, but Chalkias beats him to the ball.

And I can't type straight on my wife's laptop.

25th... Maric heads a free kick just off target.

 

26th... Toure barrels into Gonzalez. Free kick.

 

In honor of Coach's signature...

Charlie Gibson: "So President Bush, your policy for defeating the insurgents in Iraq is to work on Saturdays?"

Pres. Bush: "If that's what it takes. It's hard work you know."

From SNL skit last night.

Anywany, GO GUNNERS!

 

27th. Vieira plays Cole down the left. He whips in a cross that Ljungberg scuffs wide from 3 yards out.

 

I think we miss Gilberto in defense of corners and free kicks as well as Sol.

29th minute. Ljungberg goes to ground after coming close to tangling with Kyrgiakos.

 

30th... Ljungberg's cross finds Henry, but he finds the field a yard too short as he tries to break Henriksen down.

 

now i know what it feels like to be a Man U supporter
you dont even protest for a foul and you get given it

 

33rd... Bergkamp plays Ljungberg in, but he's a step ahead of the play and offside.

 

The Gunners have been pressing the pace to avoid a repeat of the last two matchdays...

 

35th... Konstantinidis beats Lauren on the left wing to play in a cross that's hit a little too squarely.

 

37th minute...
Ljungberg wins a free kick under Maric's foul.

40th Cole takes a free kick and puts too much air under it.

 

41st minute. Pana work the ball to Gonzalez at the edge of the box, but Toure gets just enough pressure on him to make him trigger the shot early and Lehmann is equal to it.

 

43rd... Henry shows off his wheels and is able to create enough space for a cross, but no one is there to put it away.
