My Fear For Arsenal

@jackal

you know there are sometimes when everything goes against a team and in the end they come out tops,

i know you don't want arsenal to win, i know you don't like arsenal fans here because of the noise they make,

i know barca has a bigger chance to win than we do, but those players can stand up to the occassion,

ok, jackal, what were u thinking last season when milan were up 3-0 in instanbul against liverpoool

if they can step up their game, thats all,

@jackl
thats more like it man, being objective
Lets all hope for a good fight n a fantastic high tempo game

Whoever plays better comes out tops
And we r hoping to play better and win
simple!

That FA cup final was not won by luck.

While there can be luck in some matches it is not the case of the final.
The reason is simply that the defence and esp lehsman were on fire and Manchester United did not have the necessary ammuinition to breech our goal.

Are you saying that Lehsman made the saves by luck?

or was there any incident that was down to luck and caused their defeat?

Tell where the luck is?

Jackal, how many times did they hit the post?

If a keeper saves a ball onto the bar, it is good goal keeping and not luck.

If a striker has the net at his mercy and he hits the bar instead then it is bad shooting and not luck.

I admit as an Arsenal fan that most of our team that day were very lacklustre. BUT:

Jackal, there are two facts about football;

One it's a team game

Two it is not over till the whistle is blown.

If in a Team only 2 people play well but play so well as to make their team defeat the other team, then it is still a win and calling it luck would be a disservice to those players who performed out of their skin.

Plus the Munich game was not luck. As professionls Bayern should know a game is never over till the whistle goes, Manchester United knew this and kept on going and in the end I think got the rewards for their professionalism.

To me there is no point playing well for 85 minutes if in the last 5 minutes you play so badly as to lose the game.

Imagine if it was Manchester United that was 1- 0 up at around 86 minutes and they then threw it away in the last 5 minutes, I bet you will be furious.

Hmmm, 

That is a good example and at the time I said it then, it  is no use attacking all day if you do not score.

We had many oppourtunities and did not convert any and Liverpool had one and Owen scored.

To me that means we were not clinical enough and honestly we still have that problem today, we overplay a lot when a more direct approach is needed.

You will see Henry and co in the box doing fancy flicks and complex passes when they should just tear the net and sometimes we get punished for it.
I trust Hasselbaink, as soon as he see clear road, he will thunder that yeye ball.

See that silly penalty that pires and Henry tried to take at Highbury against Man City, perfect example of overdo.

@vieira
i agree with u, serious over do

Somtimes they gotta learn that its goals that count man

@pricci
i hate to rely on someones misfortune to win ma place
we should've sealed that fourth place long ago
now we have to pray 4 spurs to draw which is bad, but thats life/sport

And what a dillema it will be 4 them if we get that 4th place
they've worked soooooo hard to get there

But thats football, somtimes monkey go work, baboon go chop

@everyone

i personally don't believe in luck, i believe everything that has happened was supposed to happen, it was destined to happen, it was in the script that it was to happen,

so when people say they are fortunate, or lucky, it was supposed to happen, they may term it as luck, but it is fate,

what happened in 99 between bayern and manutd was fate, bayern were destined to lose that game,  and everything that happened is not coincidence, it was meant to happen, we cannot decide our fate,

you may get everything right but you cannot just score,

ok look at the qualifiers for 2002 world cup, the playoff between holland and ireland, did u see that game, if not for shay given and the woodwork holland would have been in the world cup, everyone was on the defensive because holland wanted to kill ireland, what would u call that, luck? NO, i think its fate,

@ Skintite
It took me some time to work out that you are female.because of that I will be man enough not to make fun of your stupidity or your infantile rants.It is natural with Arsenal fans to be mentally compromised.Maybe that comes with years of dissappointments which breeds lunacy.

Skintite
Pretend he does not exist.
That man 4 play introduced himself here with vulgar terms, so don't bother.

4 play!
Skintite is not to be tormented by your type. What is it with you.? Just respect women here. biko!
Just because your team was humiliated you wont let us breathe?

No comment.

4 play.
Just listen to yourself.
Your talk just matches your  brains.
Let me warn you that next time you insult me!  I can't say it because am very much annoyed now &  don't want to say anything out of anger.
Which sort of man are you? you surprise me. One missile for the bloody civ will be enough.
Fall out on this  thread , its an order!don't wait for my manouvres because you don't know how I ll react to effective enemy pockets fire like you. You better take cover?/ camouflage as per the ground situation because you have no live lethal ammo. Try me next time! I will mount mortar and the rest--


Jackal,Hucarson,Jargene!People! warn this your new fanooo!The dude with no respect for women.
I have said my own and don't blame me when am pushed to the wall as you will all cover your eyes from my tear gas cannisters. This is unbelievable!

Akolawole!
Who deleted that subject about use of vulgars? 4 play has not read he is the first on the list of shame.

@Priscilla
I retract everything I said which may have caused offence.I did not intend to cause anyone to  to take personal umbrage with my postings.I only meant to have fun by being cheeky with Arsenal fans.So please accept my apologies.Surely we can all have fun without getting upset over a mere football club.


P.S- My above posting is without prejudice of my opinion of Arsenal as a crap club and Arsenal fans as a bunch of wankers

No be me o.

2+2= 4  [ according to my Arithmetic teacher]
