Wes Brown could be compared to Kuyt. Hard workers that don't always score goals,but they nearly always come through for the squad.So y'all gunners shouldn't be so quick to write him off.

I saw somewhere somebody said Wenger should rest Ade.From what exactly,may i ask ?I've really not seen any efforts from him that he deserves rest for.I'm not a fan,but looking at this objectively,what's wrong with Ade,Bendtner and Walcott starting together?Sure it'll leave y'all benchless for strikers and inspiration,but games have been won without making any subs before.
But then,i guess Wenger doesn't think Walcott's good enough to start.Too bad.

Same casket that'll send you to Mother Earth,my friend.So tremble

'Any English team' includes United,so what exactly is your point?

If Seun no be ya bizniz,what's with your delusional rant to Emperoh about 'bringing Nairaland down',and your equally delusional belief that because i came on Nairaland after you did,i should be calling everyone 'oga' and 'madam',instead of by their names and/or nicknames ?

You dey amuse me tire,i no go lie

@Mc Omi
It seems you are tilting. What happened to Gunners for life
You never spewed anyhting in favour of Manc and it seems good result driven footie is gradually tipping you over
unlike you passing orientated footie that wins you most beautiful footie playing team trophy.
Good to know u are finally seeing the light
That doesn't mean u won't write a test before joining the man You's fans club.
Cassie will interview you. le Chac, La Pein and then Nyabinghi b u face me.
Good to know u've sropped being an Assanal sympathiser
Or whatchu y'all thunk

LMAO
Lie-detector test,extreme psychiatric evaluation,shrink sessions,gruelling endurance treks in the Sahara,and 2 months @ Kirikiri.Then i'll be ready to interview him.Kit needs anger-management classes,as well as this wild idea of his that he co-owns Nairaland and can kick us all out @ anytime(i wonder what moderator dearie has got to say about that ) Anyway,he realizes that United can bang any Spanish or Italian team to the high heavens,so i guess there's still hope for him (watch how he'll lose it when he sees my stage 1 analysis )

Nani's still out?Damn,that's really bad news.Thot he wlda been up by now.So that's Nani and Vida. As for Saha,i wouldn't really call him a ghost player.Ain't his fault he's so injury-riddled,but anytime hez on the pitch,he does make some very good efforts.I like that he's always there as reliable back-up.When hez not injured,that is.

So Ronaldinho is injured.Bad news for Barca,good for us(not that i'm rejoicing at their misfortune,of course ) Eto's still a danger man though,and Ronaldinho being out will give Henry a chance to shine.Methinks hez gonna make real good use of that chance.Anyway Vida will be back by then.Our defense will be crucial.

As for Roma,i'v not doubt we can keep on banging them from now till the Pope retires,but underestimating them will surely not help.I think Fergie should go all out against them just like we did during the first leg.It never hurts to take precautions.

Of course we've definitely got to go all out against Boro.At this stage of the EPL,dropping points is definitely not a good thing.Heck,those chavs are eagerly waiting to pounce like vultures over a dead body.

As long as everybody stays fit and Van der Saar is more protective of his groin,lol,United is on a trophy roll. Bring home the silverwares Fergie.

Up United!

The Jackal:

@ Debosky,

Are there still doubts that Ronaldo is the best player to have ever played in this league?
In ma own opinion, there is no further doubts.
This lad has proven he is ready to blaze the world with his athleticism and a wealth of natural skills.
The goal he scored against Roma was all about BRAVERY. . . How he covered 20 yards in 3 seconds to power that header home was outstanding!!

That boi's speed is just amazing!

@debosky
Well,that would depend on what i'm wanted for o.Cos i'm all too aware some particular gaynners and chavs are after my head on a platter.Too bad they will all die waiting

And it will truly be a huge circus if y'all crash out of the UCL. Just retire from NL Sports for 2 weeks Anyway,for what its worth i think you guys stand a good chance of beating the Scousers.They're coming to the Emirates again on saturday right? Talk about a final before the final. Hope there will be no repeat performances from your camp

@ztyle
Woulda given you a huge bear hug dearie.Just that i'm a Manc,and you waltzed in here kinda at the wrong time,lol

@Jackal
Please don't tell me he still thinks i'm Razorr.


@Mc Omo

LMAO

Is that an invitation? Take a number

Gosh where were you when Razorr came on Sports to tell y'all that shez not me? Baba God,i tire for this ya pikin o

@Mc Omo
lol

I'm amazed o. Are you so riled up that you have to resort to swearing now? Na wa o. And i'm the reason for you losing your cool? Damn,i'm flattered

And i was on my own before,so which one you come dey mis-yan now?

@debosky
Cassiel and Kit match for where? Not in this life or the next. I'll become a die-hard gaynner first(impossible)

See me see wahala o. I near your side before? You're the one who starts releasing your grouchiness at me,and when i react,you complain.I bow o. Na wetin i wan shame for? Na you suppose get shame,wey you just dey harass woman anyhow

As for our dear moderator,i think she prefers you to me So expect her if you don't behave.

@debosky
Which Cassiel? Abeg no join me for anything wey get 'Kit' as registered trademark o. Olorun ma je

Scared of The Jackal ? No gaynner evil fashioned against us shall prosper. Holla Amen! AMEN!

mumusco

Thanks for the vote of confidence,even if na bad-belle one

Till we meet

@Mc Omo
If you were sharp enough to check my profile stats,you woulda seen i registered 2007.Just cos i started posting actively 2008 doesn't mean i registered 2 months ago. Oops.

And what do you have against people who registered after you did?Is NL now about 'I was here first'? Abi dem don dey share trophies for Oldest Nairalanders?

If you're trying to say something dearie,quit being cowardly about it and say it
As for being born-again,since when did T.B.Joshua start achieving that?

@debosky
Oh-kay. Guess we can only wait and see if you'll end up being right.Or if 'em gunners go on another fan-disappointing rampage.

Are you serious? Wow,i didn't realize

Your point is?

@folahann
lol

I think i would prefer Fergie's position to Rafa's.

But seriously,i'm not hating.I'm just being realistic here.Liverpool won't be doing y'all any favours @ Anfield,and that's the simple truth.They'll be looking to win. And if Arsenal hope to beat them,a whole lot of work needs to be done,especially with RVP out and players like Eboue and Bendtner in confused states.Geddit?

@poster
Obviously you've got some weird ideas about the words 'dating' and 'relationship'
This is why they tell all you kids to wait till you're mature enough before you jump into what you think is a relationship.

If you want proper advice,give clear,concise details.

''and our pikin name as 'im papa write am na- honey.alligator pepper''

Cracked me way up

-Indomie noodles( to me,to you,its up to us to make the world a better place). Love the song.

-AFCON '08 (of course)

@poster
Obviously this guy wants long-term from you,so ask yourself these:

1.Can you handle being a step-mum? Taking care of another woman's child like he's yours? Because if you can't,there will always be problems between you and your boyfriend,and the child could grow up hating you.

2.Can you cope with the definite interferences from the boy's mother in your boyfriend's life and yours?You will be the woman taking care of her son if he lives with his father,which will probably happen sooner or later.The mother will always want to know what you're up to with her son,how you run his life. And if you cannot handle the mother with maturity,it will lead to problems between you and your boyfriend(maybe husband then).

3.While he's still your boyfriend,as in,presently,he may have to cancel dates or he may be late for appointments with you because of his paternal obligations.Can you cope with being second-place to his son sometimes?

4.My last question.Ex-es sometimes have a way of getting back together,planned or unplanned.Especially when they've got a child together.Is this a risk you're willing to take?
(as in,he could come over to your place one day,hold your hand and solemnly say,''sweetheart i'm sorry but Laura and i have decided to give it one more shot for the sake of the child'')

Of course,your relationship could work out beautifully with the child present,but you should consider the above first.
I wish you well.

presido1:

@Mc
Don't price more than you can pay for.
To be honest by sunday you guys will be 8 or 9 points adrift of Man United.
I suppose that will be the last time i will hear"[b]We are still in the race"
from any of you Gaynners[/b]. Although the match tuesday is still open to anyside to win
but the scoucers are more advantaged to scale throu.
Hope your seasons end before mid-wk.
Enjoy your 3rd position TROPHY.
WAN UNITED

lol

You will still hear it o,i guarantee ya

@Mc Omo
Dude,you've absolutely zero idea how smart i know i am,so quit barking up that tree.I don't need to use your warped sayings on Nairaland to prove it to you,aiight?
Besides,every Manc knows you never wish us well,except on some very grudging occasions when you can't help but.
And,if you were smart at all,after predicting United will win why open the can of 'ifs',hoping and wishing me and Chacal hang?Specifically Cassiel and Chacal.(hmm,i wonder why ) Well.What else is to be expected of a T.B Joshua fan

@Mc Omo
That's your church,right? No wonder And who cares if i call Wormedup Wormy? People dey pose with beta nicknames,u dey hia dey halla over 'Wormy'.Na wa o. As for your own 'Kit', i just happen to know it sounds a lil better than the 'Omo' one you got going.Even if nobody admits it cos they fear your bullying ways,its true Abi were you sent a memo on NL name rules?Tell me now o,u know say banning na the current high .

like i care

@folahann
Liverpool play a defensive game?Defensive?At Anfield?Jeez,thought you would be a little more realistic.They got an away goal.Why on God's green earth shouldn't they get many more on their home turf?They're not gonna be looking just to defend their goal,they're also gonna be fiercely angling to get many many more.Besides,everybody knows y'all have a poor record at Anfield.
I know the Scousers are gonna go all out against you guys.Sure,their defense could do with some tightening up,but the same could be said about yours.Rafa is so determined to outthink Wenger on this,i doubt Wenger will know what hit him.Its a hell of a job Arsenal has got ahead of them,and right now,with RVP out and Bendtner's current status as a Scouser defender ,i wonder where the goals will be coming from.Wenger had better let Walcott play right from the start if he knows whats good for the team.

A-40:


I insist yall will miss Vida against us Ade will have a field day against Ferdinand i can assure you.I didnt see Mascherano last night he was MIA (Missing in Action) if not for Bendtner and that blockhead Eboue we should have at least been two goals to the good

Ade have a field day against Ferdinand?Dude,get real.Ade knows next to nothing about breaking through well-organized defenses.He scores best when his opponent's defense is weak,and seeing as we've got the best defense in the league,and the best defender any team could ask for in Rio,Ade is going to be a very shackled man.

And,don't blame just Bendtner and Eboue for your failing to win yesterday's match.Y'all had so many good chances and missed them all.RVP's misses alone were colossal.Passes were excessive,as usual,and even when there was no time any longer,instead of going for long-range shots y'all were still trying to win the 'We pass the ball around best' cup.Only Walcott was sensible on that pitch last night,honestly.Too bad soccer's not a one-man show.
Hope you guys learned your lessons last night,else Anfield will be a blast against you guys.

@Mc Omo
You predicted we were going to get thrashed by Roma Thought you woulda hung yourself by now.

Vida out for 2-3 weeks? Darn,that's not too good news.I really want him to play against the Arses

@Emperoh
Bendtner admires Torres Didn't you know? He wishes he could be as good a striker as Fernando,so much that he helped the Scousers defend to prove it

@tkb417
He didn't do anything outside the ordinary o.'They' just want to kill our fun with 'their' bad-belle

Anyway,i heard on the grapevine that hez back

femib26:

The referee was a liverfool yesterday.
Even our own[b] Breadtner[/b] and eboue decided to be liverfoolish too. Am so disappointed in the two of them.
Me think if you can't score, you shouldnt stand on the way of progress of others: Breadtner , was, _{am short of words}.

Whoz Breadtner?

@debosky
Does it matter if the gist's new or not?At least i waz concerned enough to bring it

It ain't over yet,gaynner.You could still win @ Anfield,though its gonna be one hell of an uphill climb.Y'all played well yesterday,just that the finishing was poor.There's still hope.I think

Goood morning gaynners . Hope y'all had refreshing nightmares after yesterday's lovely draw Just thought to drop by and serve the latest soccer info.


WENGER: ''We should have won''

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could not hide his disappointment after drawing with Liverpool in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

The Gunners deservedly went ahead after 23 minutes through Emmanuel Adebayor, but they could not hold as Dirk Kuyt scrambled home an equaliser just moments later.

Arsenal were the better side throughout but they could not find a way through which left Wenger frustrated.

Frustrated

"It is difficult to understand as we had a lot of possession and a lot of chances and it is very difficult to accept that we didn't win the game," Wenger told Sky Sports.

Wenger was also less than amused about his side being denied what appeared a blatant penalty in the second-half when Kuyt looked to pull Alexander Hleb to the floor.

"We were unlucky too, when they equalised I felt we were unlucky and were unlucky on the big decision of the referee on the penalty and in a game like that it is difficult to take it but we have to swallow it.

"That is what is most disappointing because sometimes the referee is in a bad position, but he was five yards away from Kuyt and in fairness it was a 100 per cent penalty.

"We could have done better because we were caught on the break when we were 1-0 up, but Steven Gerrard showed a touch of class and you can always do better when you concede a goal."

Hope

Arsenal now meet Liverpool again on Saturday in the Premier League before the return leg of their Champions League clash at Anfield next week.

"What is important is that we win the next one at the Emitrates on Saturday and then find the resources to win at Anfield and we can do that," he said.

"We want to win the game on Saturday because, of course, the Championship is at stake and that will help us to get the result at Anfield."

Robin van Persie was again forced off with injury and Wenger admits he is a doubt for their next two games against Liverpool

"It doesn't look too bad but we took him off for a precaution but I still think he will be short for next game and possibly the one after," he added.

Oh no! Not again Na who swear for gunners this year? Confess na na before i break ya head

Special shout-out to Kit

Have a wonderful day people.

*shaking my head*

@morenike
Cheering and clapping for a mad man makes you mad too,y'know. Upgrade,girl

Finally. Thought the violent anger resident in this dude would never get noticed.

@Imani
Awww. Ma binu. Lemme taunt you now so i can console you next week when the Scousers whoop your butts

Way to go Scousers! Now be sure to whoop their asses when they come to Anfield.

@danity
I knew they wouldn't disappoint me Lovely draw.

@4Him
Come on.How can you say a thing like that after Bendtner did a beautiful job playing the perfect host to the Scousers by helping them defend their goal?

Eboue try na.No be 'im fault.If you must blame,blame the entire team.They lost the midfield in the 2nd half.I don't even know where Fab went to Walcott was trying,but of course he couldn't do it alone.Bendtner was totally off today,even i was surprised.Y'all should have won,for real.So many missed chances.
Now its going to be real tough for y'all @ Anfield. Cos Liverpool will be so determined to whoop your asses

The Showdown: Rafa vs Wenger. Total bad-ass psychological battle. I-can-not-wait!

Hey Blues. Came on over to congratulate console y'all.

I don't blame Cudicini though.If he hadn't hit the ground in a bid to dodge those blazing shots,he'd be in hospital now But y'all are lucky to have got an away goal.Will help in the return leg
