Haha, you plank! ;D

In my opinion, Gilberto was without doubt our best player last season, he was the engine behind Cesc... The reason he can't get into the team is because of the phenomenal form of Flamini this season.. doesn't change that he's absolute quality... Sadly I think he could be on his way shortly though if he doesn't get a run back in the team .


And yeah, Ferguson's a bit shit, innit.

i agree, Gilberto was amazing last season. He proved me wrong, cos prior seasons i didnt really care for him.

As for alex, winning 1 prem trophy in 3 (or is it 4?) years isnt a good record. For him to prove me wrong, he'll need to win 2 in 3 or something like that. Blackburn won a league title in 1996, does that mean anything?

And yes, i know its been awhile since AW won something too. But he doesnt spend 30mill on one player.

And if AW didnt win anything for another 2 years (5 years in total trophyless) i reckon he would move on. But have no fear, cos we're def winning ATLEAST ONE trophy this season. Oh yes! i can feel it

either you're on the wind up or thats the most idiotic thing you've ever posted

1 prem trophy in the past 4 years.... but that was last year. So if winning the league at the most recent opportunity and winning it about 10 times over the past 15 years doesnt count as a "good" record then fuck knows what does

I put €1 on Arsenal to win 5-2.

That's a cool €375 profit I stand to make!

1) Agree in basic principle - although Rosicky has been injured a lot, in fairness to him, and is very young. Slightly unfair to compare him to players who were already at the top of their game when they arrived at Arsenal.

2) As pointed out above, and conceded by yourself, Gilberto was superb last season. Being away on international duty early in the season and Flamini's superb form is what's keeping him out of the team, but he will be back. He was great in midweek (only Sheffield Utd, but still, that clearance off the line was top).

3) Stupid point. How many people EVER won the treble? ONLY Fergie. It is fucking hard to do, never mind get close to! The fact is you wrote him off as a "spent force" and he went and won the league. I can't believe I am actually sticking up for Ferguson, I can't stand the red-faced tossbag!

Thats scary ok, it wasn't the winner but a last minute goal by Gallas the bundeled over the line



Didn't see the game, just had it on the radio - seems Arsenal were the better side but United took their chances as an away team has to do and were unlucky at the end

Because they were 2-1 up and conceded in the last min.

Arsenal controlled the possession, but United were ruthless whenever they went forward, and defended deeply.

Both sides can consider themselves unlucky in different ways... Conceding a goal two minutes into injury time cannot be considered 'fortunate'.

A draw not really unfair on either team.


EDIT: Ross, poor game? Were you watching the same match?! The first half was quiet for a fair while, but the tempo of the game after the first goal was great! I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

first half was utter wank (not helped by the whistle happy ref), second was okay nothing special.

nice comback today, didn't think you would do it with the slight dip in form it would have been easy for heads to drop.

Wenger has said the red card was warranted. He is merely sticking up for his player (WOW! A manager sticking up fo rhis player!) by saying it was not intentional.

Do you think any manager would do otherwise? Did you give Alex McLeish the same stick for not slating Taylor after the Eduardo incident? Jog on.

It's so frustrating the way we crumbled. To be fair, Man Utd deserve the league. They've been unstoppable. Well, at least Ronaldo has....blimey!

If Chelsea end up as Champions this season, I will NEVER watch the Prem again, bc it will show how meaningless the competition really is -- Chelsea have been shit all season, not even playing well when they win, add to that that they represent everything bad in football - big egos, corrupt owner who tries to manage the team himself, money, etc. I hate Chelsea with a passion. JT, Drogba, Lampard, Cashley are all fuckers. The only player I like on is Joey Cole

However, IF IF IF we beat Man Utd this weekend, we close the gap to 3 pts -- and from there anything could happen.....

AW must regret playing Traore, Hoyte, and Bendnter against Liverpool when he saw Boro hold Utd to a draw. AW wise the fuck up -- you yourself claimed the title challenge wasn't over, yet you rested key players in what was a must win game. WTF

We need 5 players for next season:

1.) GK: I don't like Almunia, but it looks like he'll be our #1. We'll still need to buy a GK though for 2nd/3rd choice (depending what AW thinks of Fabianski)

2.) Left Midfielder: Rosicky is always injured, and not good enough when he does play. We DESPERATELY need a goal scoring winger, like Overmars/Pires. Someone with electric pace. Reyes was perfect the few times he was on form. Rosicky, as gifted as he is, is not what we need

3.) Right Midfielder: Hleb has fantastic feet, so keep him, but use him more behind the strikers. Eboue is shit on the right. Like the left hand side, we need a proper winger. Look at Man Utd's success -- all stemming from Ronaldo

4.) Center Defender: Senderos is shaky at best. He's better than Cygan, but not by much. Lacks pace, his passing is also shit, and lacks confidence. We need to buy a stronger back up in this position

5.) Striker: RVP and ADE, cannot carry the team up front by themselves, and seen this season. Walcott is ok, but too young and no where near ready yet. Eduardo is out until mid season, but hasn't looked quality when he had his chances. And Bendnter needs to be sold ASAP, he's a right tosser

Use you're fucking money that you have Wenger, I'm getting sick of this "youth" policy. Where has it gotten us? Trophyless, thats for sure. But also: Traore, Hoyte, Bendnter, Diaby, --- I wouldn't call these "class young players" by any means. We can't rely on just youth. We need to buy quality players for fuck sakes
