@Eldee

I know you want your team to win.
I want you to win as well. .
but you decieve yourself by saying you controlled the midfield.
Which kain talk be dat?

You are the one watching a different match.
Jamie just got a new contract. . his mind is somewhere else.  

I didn't say it . . . Redknapp analysed it

Giggs has been terrible, Carrick's not passing well, the forwards have had to come back to get the ball themselves.
Who's owned the midfield?? Denilson has touched the ball more times than Carrick

It's about who's had more of the ball, that's how you judge midfield battles.

Cristalz:
Arshavin almost always scores. Funny thing is, he wouldn't have been there if Fab didn't go and get injured. I took Fab out and put him in, and I'm smiling. And pissed. Oh, whatever!

I was planning to bring in Gerrard for him but I couldn't sacrifice anyone else

Cristalz:
Fletcher got the ball before the man. That wasn't a penalty to me. Looked like one, but wasn't one. RVP.  .  .did he get the ball first? Not sure about that. Will watch the replay though.

Are you just saying that to cause an Arsenal riot??
Arshavin pushed the ball away, no ball contact, one bit

@nateevs
You're watching a different match
'Their passing has been brillant . . . they've controlled the midfield' - JR(Sky)

I don't get it
Fletcher does it and escapes, Van Persie. . . and it's a yellow

This is just wrong!!!!

Cristalz:
I'm pissed 'cos I support United, and I'm glad 'cos Arshavin is in my FPL team. Now what emotion should I feel exactly?

I was thinking of taking him off my team
But with a strike like that, he's my next captain

See what Fletcher did to Arshavin
Let's see if UEFA will give us a penalty after reviewing video evidence

Arshavin!!!
That's what you get for not giving us our deserved penalty!!!

arshavin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nateevs:
Oh Please!
That's not the point.
The quality of football drops significantly when you face a strong team
I can't count 6 successive passes since the start of the game. .
Why do you think that is? . . because Chelsea beat Burnley?

DId you count shots at goal??



@Cristalz
I told u Giggs was slow

edoyad:
Eldee are you watching the game at all ?

For a few of us that have the divine abilty to use a latop infront of a TV . . . it comes naturally

Cristalz:
Not your decision to make, boi.

Wenger said we will contest every throw-in, offside, corner and even the second half kick-off time
UEFA started it. . . two can play that game


VERMINATOR!!!

nateevs:
Arsenal is far from a title winning challenge. .
far from it. . not with what I see. .
Make una no lose sha. . if una no go win.

that's a very smart comment
especially as it is backed with 24 minutes of watching us play

There was a foul prior to song's tackle
WE WILL CONTEST THAT!!!

Cristalz:
Hez not there for pace. Hez there 'cos of his experienced brain and skillz. . .and his chemistry with Rooney is good.

That's his business, as long as Sagna keeps that chemistry inert

Nah . . . 2 corners and 2 good free kicks
that ain't pressure

Giggs is too slow!!!

dayokanu:
A deliberate conspiracy like you guys always talk about should be able to fix the draw against EPL clubs.
A deliberate dislike should make sure you are out and get you tough draws

A group with Arsenal, Real Madrid, Fiorentina, wolfsburg would have been more appropriate

Come on . . . stop talking like a Dayo

They cannot affect draws, every idiot knows that.
If people could affect draws, the Millwall Vs West Ham draw woulda been avoided.

But they can affect decisions and perceptions and that's what Platini is doing. . .
Look at the way they go on and on about homegrown players when they know who exactly they're witch-hunting
Also look at the campaign against player/transfer finances coming from the same person that supported Ronaldo's transfer to Madrid.

Platini on Ronaldo (When speculated fee was £30mil)
If the club has the finances they can do it, if they don't have the money they can't."

After he found out how much money Man Utd was going to make out of it
These transfers represent a serious challenge to the idea of fair play and the concept of financial balance in our competitions.

ThiefOfHearts:
On Tree Hill?

How old are you people

Nah . . . it's no more the high school thing anymore
They've got real issues . . . they've even got this weird kidnapper/nanny/murderer that knows how to kill the old fashioned way

ThiefOfHearts:
Keep believing that garbage. Strippers work to sponsor their many bastards. You'd think the money they get they'd use for adequate birthcontrol
That shit about drug dealers is just bullshit

I'm not believing them . . . but you'll never be able to prove them wrong if you keep using important things like education and health for profit.
It's just wrong!!!
I've heard of doctors arguing over insurance with patients' families

What you guys have now is a system where the upper middle-classget world-class health and the poor get what's only fitting for the third world.

ThiefOfHearts:
Im not total against the idea, it's just not as perfect as you people make it out to be. You still have your lines (Brits and Canadians complain about this all the time) and it still remains that if you want QUALITY care, you'd be better off in a private hospital and not with someone who has to rely on the govt for their money.

It's not perfect, if you want perfect check out countries like Sweden.
Even here, we've got BUPA and stuff like that, but we know how much lower life expectancy would be if not for the NHS.

divagold:
Desperate houswives season 6.Eva Longoria kips me glued 2 d screen. nobody seems 2 be talking of One three hill.

One Tree Hill is boring . . . they've tried everything for attention but it's not working
J Lucas is their star attraction though

mystikal:
Its crazy, isnt it? I'm in your shoes too, celebtrating a Torres goal and wishing Defoe scores or Cudicini keep a clean sheet.

Exactly . . . an Arsenal fan waiting for Defoe to score
It's just wrong . . .

There's a part of me wanting Vidic to be the man of the match even [b]when [/b]we win today

This Fantasy thing is forcing me to become selfish . . .
Torres just scored and I threw my fist in the air . . . for a Liverpool Player!!!!

This is just wrong. Nah come on . . . I'm happy that Liverpool equalised.
I even caught myself hoping that Defoe would score.

What shall it profit a Manager to gain the Nairaland Fantasy League and lose his Arsenal??

@topic
Kanu did not sign a one month contract
It's an EPL default offer. . .

At the end of a player's long term contract, if the club remains sceptical about offering a new one, the player is automatically signed on to a monthly contract and has the right to leave the club anytime till the club decides to release him or he decides to become a free agent (whichever comes first).

This is to ensure that the player is able to get a free transfer even after the Summer transfer season is over.
It also gives the player the chance to fight for a shirt.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=303740.msg4442147#msg4442147 date=1251484060]The match in question isn't going to move Arsenal's position to 2nd or 1st.
Would Arshavin had done the same thing in a Champions League semi-final poised at 1-1 in the 89th minute?
Those are the telling factors. The game against Pompey was dead rubber. . . . .Win, Lose or Draw. . . .
Arsenal had already muscled Villa out of the 4th place position.[/quote]As I said before, a player got a fairplay award for doing something similar in a Calsberg Cup match . . . how is that more important than an EPL game??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=303740.msg4441960#msg4441960 date=1251481939]Arshavin was unlucky the incident happened in a rubbish game with POMPEY.
The match had no significance whatsoever. . . . . .Would Arshavin have refused a penalty kick in a bigger game like the UCL or a title decider match?
UEFA/FIFA are not stupid.[/quote]For heavens sake a Danish player did it in the Lunar year cup and still got an Olympic Committee Fair Play Award
This is a Friendly Tournament in Hong Kong we're talking about.
Arshavin did it in his third/fourth ever Arsenal appearance and he didn't even get mentioned by the FA


You have to accept it . . . Arsene has called for video technology for years
He admitted that he won't accept a wrongfully awarded penalty . . . no one does nuffin

But now it's Arsenal, it becomes a big deal
This is Eduardo's first Arsenal dive . . . Ronaldo dives in his sleep, Babel won a quater-final (and rubbished Walcott's supergoal) with a dive.
Everyone turned a blind eye . . . Dudu dives when his team is 2-0 up at home and banning him is on Platini's to-do list.

1. M.I
2. M.I
3. M.I
4. Blaise
5. Kel

People say M.I name the best three
I say let's see, me, me, me . . .

No other dudes come close I'm homophobic - M.I (I'm Hot)

To prove that it's an anti-Arsenal conspiracy . . . Arshavin refused to take a penalty that shouldn't have been given
He refused to take it . . . and no, he didn't get no FIFA Fairplay Award.

Fowler hit it as hard as he could and he got some gold for it.

dayokanu:
Lying GAYYners again Fowler did not score the penalty and he won the UEFA fair play award for it

Are you having a laugh?? He took the flipping penalty and tried to score.
Seaman (a famous PK stopper) hit it out and a teammate scored

The Guardian: Robbie Fowler is not one of them. While playing for Liverpool against Arsenal on March 24 1997, Fowler was involved in a famous incident at Highbury; he won a penalty, appearing to tumble under the challenge of David Seaman, before pleading with the referee Gerald Ashby not to award it, claiming the keeper had not touched him. Seaman saved the penalty, Jason McAteer rammed in the rebound, and Fowler ended up winning Uefa's Fair Play award for his honesty. However, Fowler admitted he did not miss on purpose. "As a goalscorer it's part of my job to take it and I wanted to score it," he said. "I tried to score. I never missed on purpose. It just happened, it was a bad penalty

At the end of the day, Eduardo only did what Fowler did . . . took the best penalty he could
He just happened to be a better penalty taker.

dayokanu:
Miroslav Klose did it, Sinisa Mihajlovic did it, Robbie Fowler did it

Fowler went on to take the penalty and he scored
Even Asharvin famously rejected a penalty and refused to take it.

chic2pimp:
With robben and ribery on the wings,all full backs playing bayern must be quaking in their boots. Kai I can't wait for juve vs munich. It might turn out to be the best pair of matches of the group stage.

This might just mean Ribery's about to go.

NOTHING has changed, Debosky!!!![/quote]Doctored stats . . .why didn't you give a standard number of matches all through??

Besides, you said last three seasons, why's 2009/2010 season included??

chic2pimp:
thats why i'm giving lescott the benefit of doubt cuz he just signed and was immediately thrown into the deep end. By the way Bayern Munich just signed ARJEN ROBBEN for a fee of between £22-24m.

Tevez just scored his first Man City goal . . .
Robben's a Madrid reject anywayz

Losing the 2nd game of the season means shit. . . . .It's all about the % win.
Mourinho lost his 2nd game of the season in 06/07. . . .I hope you are not getting ahead of yourself this season like 07/08.

chic2pimp:
yep they will burn out goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 1-0 shaun wright-phillips.

They almost scored another . . .

This is not a team . . . I saw Lescott tackling Barry
Come on, that's just a low.

The Manchester richboys have scored . . . now I have to swith to Private Practice
SWP scored a Diaby Vs Liverpool goal

Krayola2:
who was that idiot defender that was giving the ball away over and over again in midfield in the last minutes? was it bridge? that guy is useless. Arsenal or any good attacking team would probably have scored on that possession.

It's Bridge . . .

Palace is a team full of agile teenagers.
Even when they lose, they'll know they gave their best.

chic2pimp:
absolutely. Although I am giving lescott the benefit of the doubt I must say he has looked quite ordinary against championship opposition.

Ambrose and Victor Moses are just toooo fast
They'll prolly brn out in the second half
