WTF Ass Anal players have complaining all day that chelsea fans are having premature ejaculations because they are one point above them. i can see y grin grin grin

Now they want to rub shoulders with Man United.
In the seasons that they BOUGHT angry the trophies, there were still complaints of the style of play, which was dry and tepid by the chelsea players. 1-0 games. This shows that winning trophies is not enough to satisfy fans. grin

They should take a cue from MAN UNITED grin grin, SWEET FLOWING SOCCER, with PURPOSE, unlike some Arses i know, who just keep passing the ball to entertain the opponents goalkeeper cool
.
PEOPLE WILL PAY GOOD MONEY TO WATCH GOOD PURPOSEFUL FOOTIE cool cool cool cool

Two trophies and JM was still sacked, i guess his CLASS grin was too high for the billionaire owner.


Aston Villa? They are going down.

Fatigue is a major factor in Ass anals' deep in form.

Your tired body also affects Your mental state.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by codedguy1(m): 9:12am On Mar 27, 2008
Guys! Guys!! Guys!!!

Whether its MENTAL or PHYSICAL, These are all important ingredients that make up a team, and should not be trivialised.

MENTAL STRENGHT- Doesn't Ass Anal have a psychologist? His job would be to prepare the players mentally for the task ahead, or are we putting the blame on the psychologist.

PHYSICAL STRENGHT- If wengay had spent money to buy a couple of experienced players to carry his so called 'YOUNG TEAM' there experience would carried them through those tough times. it would have also helped the injury problems they faced.

These two factors may not only be the causes of Ass Anal capitulation in recent games, but they sure are responsible for the present form. Wengay gambled and it has backfired big time! that is so clear to see.

i think the QUALITY and QUANTITY of players is the key here, and i'll score Ass anal 50% in both departments.

You def'ly do not Know MANCHESTER UNITED. Loose the lead at this point, when the finish line line is nigh.
We could afford to loose top spot ealier on, because there were more games to be played. Take a look at the table again, its just 7games left and we are 5 points off the pace. Do the maths?

i Promise u, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN tongue tongue tongue tongue

@MC OMO
Nobody is celebrating winning anything, we are happy we are in pole position with the MOMENTUM on our side.
Now who says thats not enuf to be happy and very very hopeful of winning the PREM.

When you guys were in pole position, did y'all not speculate winning the PREM? angry angry
Leave us alone let us speculate, atleast we do it with facts and analysis, unlike y'all just saying Ass Anal will win without appraising or having the faintest idea what the situation is.

Its not over till its over, but with your current form, dropping 11points in ur last five games, i hope you dont think y'all are gonna pose any threat whatsoever to us.

Get back to me after your game with Bolton grin grin grin grin. It mite just be another loss grin grin grin

We are weary bout chelsea, its probably gonna be a draw at SB and another massacre when u come to OT. That would be enough to give us the title.
we are also particular bout other games, especially with blackburn and Aston Villa, Our bench will give us those games. but i assure you, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING YOU OR YOUR SORRY ARSE HEARTBREAK TEAM CAN DO NOW! tongue tongue tongue tongue

i've been consoling the gayners in ma office, they seem to believe it's all over!

i fucking love the gaynners. they are the most predictable team in the EPL. How do you explain a team dropping points in 5 consecutive league game. Going from top to third in a matter of days. i love them for their predictability considering this is not the first time its happening. I just hope my darling United continue with its unpredictability. Winning ugly, winning beauty, snatching points home and away till we seal the league defense at the bridge. (now that won't be easy to achieve) but i believe its possible.
One UNITED!!!
@seunspice

I also love them Gayners, we have described them as

RELIABLY UNRELIABLE!
CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT &
ADEQUATELY INADEQUATE.

What else do you expect from them, i actually thought they were going to fulfill the predictable prophecy of dropping points when it matters most around dec/jan, but somehow they scaled through.

I guess it was just a matter of time, and that time is come.

Just watch in the coming weeks there would be some infighting amongst the players, Gallas would slap fabregas, shocked shocked lehman would tell Wengay 'i told you to use me, you refused' tongue tongue tongue and then all hell would break loose.

Buncha sorry ARSES
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by codedguy1(m): 6:10pm On Mar 25, 2008
A very fearful thing bout this Ass Anal team, or what Wengay has turned the team into is that established players who want to win trophies might even Avoid them, unless wenGay can convince bout 5-6 established and hungry players to come to the emirates at the same time.

Players always also look at the prospect of the teams they want to play for, they also look at the potential and calibre of players/new signings the coach will embark.

knowing wengay, this might be a tall order, this will fight against his Ego and stingy nature.

A player like Eto'o can say he wud like to play for Ass Anal cus he has won medals, individual, club and country.

Lets even hope you hang on to the 'few good men' you have now.

I said liverpool were our wife/wives, and we prooved it again.
To think that Ass Anal were thinking Liverless Liverpool would do em a favour was to say the least, wishing that beggars would fly.

In that same vain, if you are expecting such a favour, u shud also be sure you secure your own side of the deal, what would it have meant if we lost and you guys also lost tongue tongue tongue tongue

Anyways, methinks Ass Anal should be very wary, it might just be the beginning of 4 straight loses on the bounce!!!! grin grin

@ MC Omo,

You are a pillock, i will keep repeating that!!!!!!!!!
No one is saying United will win the remaining 7 games. . . . We don't have to win all of em to lift the title.
5 WINS, 1 LOSS, 1 DRAW will give us the title. . . . .I don't care what other teams play . . . .

United have their job cut out just like we did last season!!!!!!
Arsenal will SURELY fall at Old Trafford. . . wins against Villa, West Ham and Wigan and Boro should seal it.
United can go to Chelsea and get a DRAW. . . . The Chelsea team that raped y'all ain't that good.
Lets see how Drogba copes with Rio n Vida.

@ Pataki,

Forget Arsenal in this race. . . . If i were Wenger, i will consider doing a risk analysis.
I think this is the time he MUST apply damage limitation.
Forget about the league and he should concentrate on UCL(he has equal chance with every other team in that competition).
Wenger has a small squad. . . He should conserve their energy and channel it towards winning in Europe.

If he makes the error of pushing those boys to chase the league and the title. . . . He will win NOTHING this season.
United[b] beat[/b] Liverpool without a single scratch. . . .
Arsenal on the other hand lost to Chelsea and lost Sagna(ankle) PLUS Clichy(hamstring) grin grin grin grin
To put icing on the cake, they have to go to Reebok stadium this weekend in anutha banana-skin match.

The gods of soccer must HATE Wenger's guts. cheesy wink grin
@chacal

u are BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaD!!!!!!!!!!!!

You seem to want all them Gayners to know exactly where there season capitulated. grin grin
You also want them to see that the future is bleak. tongue tongue
if sagna and Clichy are injured then i fear the worst for Ass Anal, they mite end up fighting for a UEFA spot. cool cool cool

What has happened to all the comparisons between CR/Flabbyass?
CR7 does not need to prove nada!
its obvious Flabbyass cant win shit, this season, thanks to Wengay who would play the poor guy in almost every game and expect him to have the same momemtum he had at the beginning of the season.

Am actually surprised that Gayners are admitting Wengay is the problem, this is something most United fans had seen a long time ago.

@footie
Am more concerned bout the games against the likes of blackburn and aston villa than with the games against Ass Anal and Chelsea, man United would not dissapoint in those games, especially now that we see the finish line.

@loyika

You keep saying things like 'if you win a game no special trophy would be handed to you'
but the truth is when you win, it takes you nearer to the trophy, and that is if you can consistently do it.
It is also a thing of joy when you beat your closest rival, yes no trophies for that, but you kinda stiffle there ambitions and boost yours.

Its happening here again you guys have been CONSISTENT IN DRAWING LOTS OF GAMES. 10 to be precise.
This must be worrying, or isn't it? Tell me.

Consistency is the key word here, like you understand when you beat man u home and away and still lost the title, at the time you guys won the second game am sure you must have thot you were going to win the title.

I would at least give you some respect cos you are the only one out here holding forte.

RIO INJURED?
[b]Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that his reshuffled defence against Bolton was a pre-emptive experiment in case Rio Ferdinand misses Sunday's clash with Liverpool.

The England defender continues to carry a slight back injury and, with the Merseysiders' visit to Old Trafford looming large, Sir Alex opted to rest Patrice Evra and Wes Brown, fielding a defence of Owen Hargreaves, Nemanja Vidic, Gerard Pique and John O'Shea against Gary Megson's side.

"We made a lot of changes and I think that was necessary because, with Rio Ferdinand doubtful for Sunday, we had to find out about young Gerard Pique," Sir Alex told MUTV after the 2-0 win.

"We’ve got great confidence in the lad and he’s come through very well. That was important. We also wanted to rest Wes Brown in case Rio doesn’t make it, then we’ve got the alternative of playing Wes at centre-back – that’s a decision we’ll have to make.

"We tried Owen Hargreaves at right-back, and we can play John O’Shea there on Sunday and bring Patrice Evra in. It’s important to do these things tonight, simply because of Rio’s injury."[/b]

Gosh! I didn't know Rio was injured.Wondered why he wasn't on the pitch yesterday. sad
Is Rio is really Injured!!!!!!!!!! I think FERGIE just wanted to rest him and tinker with the team a bit.

This is called strenght-in depth and planning ahead. something a certain Wengay knows nothing of. tongue tongue

There's no way in blue hell that Chelsea will let Arsenal get away with a win,not when the Blues are this close to the top themselves.They will be seriously looking to thrash,pummel and embarass the Gunners.Its going to be so much fun to watch,i tell you.
So sorry, sure u misunderstood me when i said THEY, i meant chelsea.

How would chelsea allow Ass Anal of all teams come to SB, to steal a win.
When they know they would catch up with them(Ass-Anal) on the table and their egos have just been bruised again at whyte hart lane. Chelsea will rather die on that pitch than see them gayners win tongue tongue tongue

fair enough u got bragging rights being on top of the table n all, if your looking at Chelsea to do y'all a favour that won't happen, did u see how they fumbled against Spurs @ White Shyte lane, i see a certain home record being broken on sunday.

Liverpool look inspired at the mo and i'lld be worried about El Toro doing a number on y'all if i was u especially if Ferdinand does not play. Y'all look like a one man team, thank your stars Divino is having the season of his life, they'll be a big twist in the title chase this sunday. If 5 points could be brought down to nothing i don't think 3 points is worth anything at this stage of the premiership, especially with all 4 teams having to play each other
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! we gat bragging rights. Do you have a problem with that? grin grin grin

From your post above, i dont know how this translates into your breaking chelsea's home record.
You shud be bothered that they went to whyte hart lane to get a 4-4 draw, this means chelsea has started scoring, away for that matter.

Any team can loose a lead, but with Ass Anal leading, dropping points like you guys have done recently is like the surest thing in the PREM. We can rely on Ass anal to drop points grin grin grin

we have been telling you guys things like
AS LONG AS IT IS ASS ANAL @ THE TOP WE WILL CATCH UP.
WE ARE MORE CONCERNED BOUT CHELSEA THAN ASS ANAL.

All 4 teams have to play each other, but Ass Anal has the ardous task of playing most of those games Away.

pls dont go telling me HOME & AWAY dont marra.

i think u are right that we need experienced players to build our team

@chacal,

you're also right that we have a thin squad. thats why those boys r tirring out now. we need playesr in our squad and players that deosnt get injured. thats y chelsea will always be a threat. in evry position they have 2 quality players.
Its only Wengay that does not know this fact.

Even in the january transfer window, a supposed experienced coach shud have made some changes, that is buying some players buttress his squard. but he didn't.

WHY? only wengay can explain.

I kinda feel for the fans, after boasting left right and center. To see your team crumbling like this can give one a heartattack.

if u are dumb and cannot understand ma point, please keep that hole in your face shut tongue tongue

i said your stupid gayner supporter was going on bout how good your play was and he seemed to be missing the fact that points were dropped.
You come all ranting like him to talk bout missed chances. tell me who does not miss chances?.

Let me reiterate what i was on about. with the amount of draws a supposed top team like Ass anal have in recent games, we can deduce from that, that you guys are more into the passing games.

if there was someone, just one person whose sole responsibility in the team was to take shots at any slightest chance then i think you guys would have been far ahead on top of the table, but what do Ass anal players do, they keep on passing the ball as if that is the sole aim of the game.

People say Ass anal plays the best type of football, i ask, what is in the best type of football when you dont
really threaten opponents with an all attacking flair like MAN UNITED grin. Just like saying a penalty was good but did not go into the net. (keeper went left ball went right, hit the post and came out) the fact is it was a missed penalty.

And you conviniently did not say anything bout your gaffer being stingy!!!!!!!!!!

Though Arsenal's more hilarious because i can't imagine why anybody in their right minds right there in the 18-yard box with a clear goal-scoring opportunity would decide to make a pass to another guy in the same box.And that guy still decides to pass to yet another dude in the very same box.And so the passing continues till the chance is lost.As in,why they do that beats me huh And makes me laugh grin grin
Dont you know that they are hot contenders for the WE ARE THE BEST AT PASSING THE BALL CUP grin grin grin

pass pass pass !!!!!!!!!!!! pass pass pass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then they manage to score an equaliser at the dying minute. sooooooo pathetic.

Was discussing with a gayner in the office and pointed out that the problem with Ass-Anal is Wengay and his sorry technic and stingyness.
He kept on ranting about the fact that they played well everytime especially against boro.

i dont think those gayners can improve if and when they loose a game.
If they loose a game at this stage, methinks its the end of the road.
i wonder what they feel like now, drawing 4games on the roll tongue, a lose now would just bury them, might send Gallas into a shooting spree or something.

They are going to SB, lets see how they cope with a chelsea who know how to nick 3points when they dont play well, which they often do and its gonna be a full chelsea squad.
