Official Arsenal Thread [2007/2008]

[Gunnersgoal22]

Arsenal were out thought, outplayed and soundly beaten. They were s.h.ite.

Sagna, Eboue, Bendtner and Eduardo are very average players indeed. There is no quality throughout the squad to replace any injured players. That is down to Wengers failure to build a decent squad for a long hard season.

Some silly gooners had already predicted the League was won and that they could go all season unbeaten. The more intelligent of us, who have seen it all before knew better.

So what happened to this resiliance and "never say die" attitude that Wenger says runs throughout the entire squad then? They gave up today alright, just because 'boro did nothing more than fight for every ball. 'boro wanted it more than Arsenal, and Arsenal and Wenger underestimated 'boro to their regret today.

Well done 'boro.

Now we wait for the sad excuses from the gooners. Do we care?.....Nope.

Gloating?.....You bet your fu<kin' life I am.

See ya at the Emirates next week boys

Yes Pede maybe we are a little thin, but to say that Eboue, Sagna, and Bendter are average is ****. Imagine having Drogba, Terry, Lampard, and Wright Philips all taken out of your line up and playing 3 tough games on the road. In that case it's not completely a matter of depth, but a matter of losing players that can't be replaced in a small period of time. You lost at Villa Park with a more or less full squad. I'm hoping and assuming that some of your comments were based on gloating rather than logic.

Yes, we will see you next weekend

 

[Nettles]

That doesn't mean they're better than average, it just means that you have a good tactical/training manager and dun have anyun to replace those players.

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

lol someone's takin advantage of the situation ^^^ it is true though and i love when managers look smart one day and morons the other.

wow you goons panik quick. Diarra & Gilberto arent alike, Diarra can defend decent & isnt/past or at his best. Diabys fine but denilson should definetely get more starts.

Gilberto and Diarra both play as holding midfielder's hence they are alike.


even Wenger said "We lacked creativity, sharpness in our passing so therefore we were not dangerous enough to come back into the game."

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

1-0



Pretty even game we never really got going, Cechs mistake changed it all, made Chelsea come after the game opening it up for us on the counter. We really should have scored another 2 or 3 in the final 20 mins cant complain about the result though

 

[Bummy_JaB]

No we DID score!!! Ade's disallowed goal was crap. He didnt foul benhaim at all. But who cares we got 3 points and that CU@# CASHLEY GOT OWNED!!!!!!!!!! hHAHA Clichy was better than him all day.

Fabregas OWNED cole at the end that was GENIUS!!!!!!

[Help?]

Fabregas is a little bitch. Dives in two feet snapping from behind and then grabs his left eye and forehead, when he got hit in the throat and chin.

 

[Filipower]

still outclassed lampard

Yea Fab only "cheated" in this game because thats all Chelsea do all day. And yea even your team is full of them and I dont even have to tell you who it is that plays more football on the ground than on his feet at manu

 

[PaPaGeorGeo]

I have to say this might sound weird but Cesc reminds me of Roy Keane in away, very competitive and aggressive. That tackle on Cole at the end was right out of Roy Keane's play book.


To tell the truth I have mixed feelings about Eboue's injury, In my opinion he looked alot better out their tonight, taking players. on apart from his usual diving and theatrics, he actually was a threat to Chelsea down the right flank

Why involve United?




I didn't say Fabregas is ****, i said he is a little bitch for acting the way he did.

efender and captain William Gallas took the club's reserves and youth players to a 50 Cent concert, after a training session had finished early.

Full-back Paul Rodgers has revealed how captain William Gallas is taking care of the club's younger players.

"William Gallas took the young players to watch a 50 Cent concert.

"I had been training with the Reserves and we finished early and so I was on my way home when the other lads were trying to call me back to go to the concert.

"But I did not hear them. I was gutted when I came in the next day to find out that they had all gone to the concert, VIP style too.

"It was good of William to do what he did. It helps with club morale and spirit.

"I've never had to talk to him about anything, but I feel he is very approachable and if I needed to discuss anything with him I would not hesitate.

"Shame about the 50 Cent gig though, but my agent got me some Spice Girls tickets!"

 

[Bummy_JaB]

50 cent sucks but whatever at least the boyz are showing great team spirit. Gallas has been DE MAN this season. I thought he wasn't that good last season BUT he has really adapted to our style of play and is defending quite marvelous at the time.

 

[Tizmo]

And he is also scoring goals! Gallas is amazing, I am so glad we have him.

What do you guys think about the draw today? Arsenal-AC Milan...

I think they could be the worst team possible to have gotten. Maybe Barca or Inter would be worse.


Yes, we have everyone (besides Walcott) fit for tomorrow. Even Eboue is fit if Wenger chooses him.
Should be very interesting to have everyone back and to see who starts, and how they play together.

Starting XI should be:
Almunia
Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy
Hleb Fabregas Flamini Rosicky
R.V.P. Adebayor

Subs: Lehmann, Senderos, Diarra, Diaby, Eduardo/Bentder

 

[newbie original]

...What do you guys think about the draw today?..

Good to know we are not alone today. It can be tough at times, but when you have company, it really helps swallow the pill.

 

[adobe_sun]

very good draw for both Arsenal and Liverpool. After all, they will be the proud ones to kick MIlan and Inter out of the tournament.
I'm kinda sad really.. We only got Lyonnais :P

No, seriously, i think both Pool and Arsenal are able of winning out those legs. Inter have never been particularly "european great".. I mean kicking Fenerbahce 3-0 doesn't mean a thing, even if it is done by a brilliant quality goals by the perfect Zlatan..
And Milan are way too old now. They need a damn trikcy tactics of Ancelotti in order to go through the backdoor.. After all, Arsenal's youngsters run 10 times more, 10 times faster and can score from all phasis of the game, especially on counter attack. The only problem i see in Arsenal's gameplay is using the width of the pitch.. But with the time, they will learn how to do it maybe.

I hope you're right as it would be great for English football if this could happen. Although you won't be able to pick a winner for these games until February. Last year when Milan beat Utd it was one of the greatest European performances I've ever seen, so if they're at top form it will be VERY tough.

Same thing goes for the Liverpool Inter game. If Liverpool start playing well again then they have a decent chance, but who knows, Rafa and Gillette could both be gone by that time.


C'mon Arsenal lets thrash Spurs and let Ramos know how North London derbies are played here

Bendtner


Was it just me or did Kolo get some of the ball?
