Arsenal . Aren't we the kings of possession ? Why lose it ?

Our play is a bit disjointed so far, we could see a match of 2 very different halves

~Sauron~:

70% of those are penalties and direct free-kicks.

Goal na goal
Meanwhile I doubt if he scored any direct free kick last season.
How about Rooney who scored 20% of his goals against unknown 3rd rate teams at the World Club championships

aaaaa ;d

Rooney has scored 14 league goals in the EPL(without penalty kicks + direct freekicks).
Now lets add the average 7 goals penalty takers score in the league every season to that and Rooney coulda score 20 odd league goals.

It's a disgrace a striker like RVP hasn't scored a dozen league goals before in his screwed-up career.
Shit for Arsenal, shit for Holland.

Fab4 and co are just choosing the wrong options!!!!!!!!!!

One of those days Cesc can be really clueless.
He reserves his vision for the 2nd half. . . .but to be honest, this AZ side can PASS!!!!

Hahahaha, Sagna dribbled himself out of touch.

When RVP stays fit for one full season, we can talk
I remember in the 07/08 season, he had about 9 goals before Winter and then he got injured
he would have easily surpassed the 12 goal silly statistic you are benchmarking him with

Fab

Cesc is having one of them games where we need someone else to share the playmaking, wouldn't bet against him to turn it on later in the game though but this is a game we could have done with Rosicky
Goal Cesc.

If he cannot cope with the demands of one full season. . . . .He should change his profession.
Porn movie industry needs a rapist like him.

He hasn't scored 12!!!!  FACT!!!!


GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Cesc scores.

Nice one, RVP. Very smooth and unselfish.

Lovely goal, Fab.

What a goal?
Footie made in heaven
Its fab4 with the goal
1-0 to the Arsenal

Looks like Fab is playing more like 8 today

HNIC:

It's a tap-in. . . . .what is the footie made in heaven in that one?
U can exaggerate!!!

What has 8 gotta do with this?
U twats still think football was back in the days . . . .someone is playing 7, someone is playing 9.
Will you shut up your trap?

And this team continues to grow in stature, interesting half so far cos we are playing at such a low tempo and for once we are containing another team, when last have I seen possesion 57% to 43% against Arsenal?

~Sauron~:

It's a tap-in. . . . .what is the footie made in heaven in that one?

I was refering to the build up
3 against 3 and they were sliced open

Benayoun has just eased the pressure on Rafa

I wonder why you couldn't do that against United and Man City.
U have not beaten one decent team this season, football made in heaven ma ass.

Kiev winning at San siro,
Kazan leading 1-0 at the camp Nou
i love this game  called football

Dudu you didn't tell us AZ were a Red and White boy scout ?

It's a pity Akola and all the other Mourinho disciples aren't here tonight.

I remember telling these peops that Roman's cash helped Jose a lot in the PREM but they wouldn't budge.
Arsenal(the weakest team challenging for the EPL) will beat Inter home n away.

edoyad:

Why him no dey play the guy consistently for premiership? anyone with half a brain knows he is one of the few creative players he has left in that team.

Mention one decent team man utd beat last season to win the league.
Pool beat u soundly home and away.Nas destroyed ya at the Emirates.
You were only able to beat the Chavs
Decent team my left elbow.
Abeg leave us.
You dont have to beat a decent team to win the league
You lot proved that last year.
One more thing
We ain't gonna lose to Burnley
Or Draw with Sunderland at home
Lailai
Not this season

AZ Alkmaar played quite well this half. A lot of fluidity, except no cutting edge.
Would be nice if they get a goal in 2nd half, just to see how the Arses will react.

What's wrong with Arshavin? Misfiring so often.

I have to confess that i like this AZ side . They remind me of us; youthful, lively and decent with the ball on the ground.

We beat Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Fulham. . . . .
Do you want more?

You dont have to beat a decent team to win the league

That RULE only applies to Man Utd not to Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea.
United have the knack of pulling theories down. Name any other club that has won the EPL without leading the MINI-LEAGUE of the TOP FOUR.
Don't you ever think Arsenal can pull such off and win the league. . . . .Not in a billion years!!
So if you know what is right for y'all. . . . .start beating decent teams.

You lot proved that last year.

But you lost to Hull at the Emirates(a team that barely survived relegation).
U also lost to Stoke and other minnows.

That's rich coming from a scummie. That's exactly what united have been doing since the inception of the premier league.

How so?
Where did United's money come from?
United made money from the good football they play. . . . .We never had any sugar-daddy bankrolling us like the Chelseas, Man Citehs of today.
The success on the pitch made United rich. . . . .Money brought Chelsea's success on the pitch.

There's a universe of difference between those 2 kizzacks.

No, I will help you with more.
Pompey,Newcastle,Hull and Wigan.

That was last season.
Old things have passed away.
We are in a new dispensation.

Not mentioning the way we despatched quality opposition like Arsenal, Porto, Inter and Celtic in the UCL.

That was last season.
Old things have passed away.
We are in a new dispensation.

So why aren't you on top of the league table if your team is so superb?
Y'all are doing well now because the run of fixtures are relatively easier than your peers.
Once Tottenham, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea start playing y'all. . . . .we shall know the scores.

The source is not the issue being dicussed here.

The fact of the matter is that the advantage United held over it's competitiors was/is the ability to pay high wages & high transfer fees.
