European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 6:13pm On Aug 10, 2009
All this maths is giving me a head ache.
I hope our effort here on NL is worth a reaction mr Wenger ? grin grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 5:43pm On Aug 10, 2009
We gat no other option than to bring in a DM 4.3.3 or 4.4.2. Song will be a good DM one day if he can recover faster and close gaps quicker. He's uncomfortable playing that role alone. May be we should sell Fab expensively; get a more defensively minded brain box ; and convert Arshavin/Nasri to a Trequartista (behind both attackers, midfielder/attacker).

@krayo and love-vendor , you people should carry your ludicrous opinions some where else and stop desecrating our thread abeg.
Iniesta best in the world !
Try thinking things through and forming your own opinions instead of forming them from what one sentimental match says from adrenaline rush tongue
If you guys had picked Xavi, you'd have had a case but for heaven's sake, Ini who ? So he had a good end to the season but how can you for the love of all things under the clouds compare him to Messi and Cr7. Do you know who those are ?
Do you people say some of this things to start conversation or do you actually see hallucinations that seem so real to minds' eyes.
If you're looking for Ini's peers try Robinho,Lampard, David silva and the likes. Dont even go near Totti. tongue
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 10:20am On Aug 09, 2009
Well the analysis is,
if you remember our previous visits to the Mystia :Replace Pablo Aimar with David Villa who came in the 2nd half.
1st goal by MiChel who shot from a rebound.
Earlier on Villa missed a penalty caused by the head Master.
Valencia should have been awarded another penalty after Trao brought down some body in the box.
In the first half the big guns looked sharp with Rvp,Arshavin and Fab missing good chances.
The game turned on It's head in the second half when Wenger took out the midfield and brought Merida and God knows who.
The 2nd goal came after injured sub keeper Fabi was signalling to be subbed but Villa put the ball through his legs before it could materialise.
Clichy had a bad fall in the 1st half and i hope he wont suffer from that recurrent back injury again. Ebou looked sharp in the first half too.
Diaby was . . . .well Diaby undecided
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Fa Community Shield : Chelsea (2)4 Vs Man Utd (2) 1 on Pens by edoyad(m): 9:57am On Aug 09, 2009
Honestly looking the situation on ground and all fingers point to Chelsea. But we know that winning the community shield doesn't mean you're the best. Being as candid as i can, i think this season belongs to liverpool, they look just too ripe for it .
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 8:57am On Aug 09, 2009
I dont know o.
Comparing players that play for different teams with different formations. How does one one go about comparing Becks 7 to CR7. Are they trying trying to say if Messi were a Bayern player last season and Ribery were in Barca too, that would have prevented the pistol whooping they got. grin grin grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 8:06am On Aug 09, 2009
And to the advice that i check my details before posting, i do that. But when you're making a post with half sleepy eyes, David Villa and Pablo Aimar look the same to drowsy mind . undecided
It doesn't change the fact that Benitez didn't go for Villa or that Villa has never been shortlisted for World Footballer Of the Year . cool
Unto more pressing matters, did anyone else feel the M Sylvestre disdain i had last night ? I'm not comfortable with that guy at all. May be paired with Gallas he wouldn't do too badly but i dont see how he can be a senior partner in that defence.
Song's speed also keeps coming back to hunt him, he has good control with a bit of space around him but It's a different matter in tighter situations.
I still believe we need a DM and CB. If i had to sacrifice one CB
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 11:42pm On Aug 08, 2009
This argument doesn't make sense.
Both Torres and Villa are good strikers and it wouldn't be fair to use goals return ratio to judge em. If we use that index then what about FIFA ranking ? Torres is among the top 4 in the world according to Fifa, up there with CR7, Xavi and Kaka. People tend to Villa for granted, even his former coach went for Torres when he wanted an assassin upfront, but i think it has to do with style of play. Villa surprises defenders with his runs while Torres hangs around keeping them busy i guess. But like i said, It's up to style of play, Villa to me would suit Arsenal more.
Just like saying Mario Gomess is better than Aghahowa grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 10:52pm On Aug 08, 2009
I dont know why Wenger decided to rubbish the game with those ridiculous substitutions. This would have been a good test, thank God the Val. coach dint return the favour.
If There's any doubt as to Whether we need a DM and CB, i hop this game'll change the person's mind.
Talking about Rubbish strikers, There's one called Mario Gomez, i wonder where he'll end up next season. May be in a rubbish club like himself grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 9:45pm On Aug 08, 2009
Wenger is better than the Maga cos winning the premiership is like winning 4consecutive one man liga titles.
The only league you can compare one man liga to in England is the Championship and i sh*t you not.
I tell you to bring some of your top ten teams to Epl and lets see if they can gain promotion to our league.
Besides, I've never heard the Madrids and the likes ever courting your Maga. grin make him pay up

Abou is trying to change style by growing hair but it seems not to be working.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 7:22pm On Aug 08, 2009
Right !
You mention Barzagli's country then i might as well add gunners' countries .  
Fabregas, captain, won the 2nd most prestigious prize in world football,STARTING SOME GAMES,just last summer - Euros. Besides how many games did Lippi play Bar in that 2006 squad compared to Fabre ?
You're there mentioning Magath. Can his success as a  coach be compared to half of what wenger has achieved this decade ?

Arshavin won the Eufa cup and Russian league with Zenith.
Edu won Croatian league and was top scorer.
Should i go on ? tongue
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 3:03pm On Aug 08, 2009
@ krayola are kidding us ? shocked
they tell you to mention players from Wolfsburg who won the league with experience in winning and you call Urewa from vietnam, or whereever, along with Danish league?
Can you from memory tell us who finished top in both those leagues and the top scorers ?
Some times some of you are so bent proving a grossly flawed assertion that you make exponentially ridiculous statements.
Urewa blues huh

@ Dayo that one na small thing na. Obama could be assassinated this evening by one of your american Nazi brothers.
On the other hand, Bayern's fortunes in Europe and the twin towers that Osama brought down have links. What are the chances that the twin towers could be rebuilt in a day, that's if they're ever rebuilt. grin

That's so cruel Man ! grin
Dayo if you dont know, Valdano spent the last few years masturbating to Torres's jersey, grin scheming how to lure him to the stadium of Flamenco dancers and bull fighters. If he was ineffective in spain, would the normally cautious Benitez have paid £35m for his services ?

Any one with an idea what Mou plans to do Mancini & Quaresma should hint us abeg. That man cure the inflation in the transfer market with those boys. I'd love to see how Madrid'll then raise 100m for their redundant "galacticos (sic)". grin

Dayo . . .Dayo .
I said here yesterday, that a league's competitiveness could be measured by how many teams, 'historically' speaking, have a realistic chance at the title- may be in not so many words.
I told biina that out of the English leagues over 100 year history, Liverpool and Man u share 36 equally, with Arsenal 2nd with 13. If my maths is right, that's less than half of the available titles to real BIG THREE.
On the other hand, la liga's 80 history has 2 clubs with 50- 60% of titles between them.
Now Dayo, i dont really have the stats of Germany but i'm sure Bayern alone could have like 99% of them grin grin
To show how competitive the English league is, just bout 10 years ago, Arsenal were no. 2, now It's united. So how much more competitive could a league be Dayo ? huh

Come on Gunners, do you actually believe Arsene would actually go to press to discuss his new tactical formation ? Some one who wont even reveal who He's signing.
Yes he might comment on something new He's trying out but please . undecided
And in response to those who said Viera was just a midfielder not a DM and alluded to Scholes and Keane, I'l ask you do you too believe Arsenal and ManU have the same Positional Arrangement ? Cos i'd like to know played Beckham for us.

chic2pimp,EVERY DAY MISTAKE ? ?
An every day mistake would be denying 1 call for penalty .
Denying two or three calls (depending on how you see it) is an outright atrocity !!
Do you know how much money Chelsea missed out on for that incompetency ?
In medical equivalent it could be the same as amputating a whole hand instead of a finger i tell you.

Biina Kanoute couldn't upend Robbie Keane and Defoe, that's why he was available for Sevilla, Forlan could only score in liverpool fixtures so . . . .
In the over 100 year history of EPL, Liverpool have 18 titles like Man U, Arsenal have 13. Altogether the 3 Most successful clubs in England have won less than half of the total league titles. Infact until about 2000, Arsenal were the 2nd most successful in England. This is an indication that the pendulum of power swings in The English League.
Now, take a look at the history of la liga and divide the titles between Madrid & Unicef an tell me how many you have left.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only. Yes We Can! by edoyad(m): 10:09pm On Aug 04, 2009
Well chic2pimp if you put it like that :
1. Guess Masseilles won the league in 93 so we should take it like that.
2. Juventus won Italian league in 2006 so we should take it like that.
Just because no one has initiated an investigation into some of these things doesn't mean they never will. undecided

I'm up . . . . grin grin back ROTFLVSAO
Who comes up with all these stuff ?
How can a league be considered competitive when there're only two possible winners. That does not fall into some peoples definition of competitive . And what does it mean that cos 80+ pts wins la liga it's . . . . Well, that could translate to la liga teams being less disciplined or consistent than the EPl teams.
Why don't you use my standard. People like Forlan and Kanoute who couldn't grab first team action in EPL are Gold in la liga. And don't mention the speed of EPL being the reason.

Krayola I'll assume you started watching the beautiful game recently that's why you think Munchen and Lyon belong in top echelons.
Without a shadow of doubt, the best four teams in Europe now are all from England. It so happens due to some dreadful refereeing decisions :
1. A paul scholes goal was disallowed at old Trafford that's why we know Mourinho's name and that trophy didn't come to England in 2004
2. Barca won the CL in 2006
3. Got past the semi-finals last season.
Can you believe He's rating clubs who've not smelt semi's in eons ? If you'd called Milan alone it would have given a bit of credibility to that abomination you posted. angry
