WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What dud analysis?
Anderson had a thigh strain,Vidic was ill, bla bla bla bla
What are those?
Are they not excuses?
Are there no replacements?
Was it not a squad?
So manure had to change plans when they got off the plane and found out Andy and Vida could not play
Spare us,the plan from the beginning was to play 10 behind the ball and see if they can get Barca on the counter
No one has said manure has lost to Barca
and everyone knows there is still all to play for in the 2nd leg
That was no dud analysis.
All I was trying to say was that every team has enough excuses when they draw or[b] lose[/b]

I bet if Ronaldo had scored the penalty and it had ended 1-0 or lets go further, if the ref had given manure the second penalty and it had ended 2-0, it won't have mattered if Vidic was ill ofr Anderson had a thigh strain,what we would have been reading here was how much of a genius SAF was!!!

TH14 is a gunner forever

Vidic was ill, Anderson had thigh strain. . . . . .[/quote]Excuses Excuses Excuses!!!
OK why did arsenal lose to Liverpool?
Flamini limped off,RVP was not fit.The ref was an idiot.
Eduardo broke his leg,Sagna's ankle.Rosicky's hamstring.
Ade's haircut.The Kop shouting,
I will be back with more

@ Presido

What you don't understand is that even if Arsenal should go to the Championship today(relegation) you will still find fans on this thread.
There's just something about supporting Arsenal!!
The Red and White army will keep marching on.
Go gunners!!!

@ Ibime

That goal against Chelsea was Kayode's 15 minutes of fame.
Afterall Kanu won african footballer of the year in 1999 after scoring a hat trick against Chelsea.
There must be something about Naija footballers when they score against the Chavs

Condolences to Frank and the entire Lampard family.
May her soul rest in peace!

Barca's attack was too 'one-dimensional'.Reminded me of arsenal of last season(Special emphasis on last season) .
Seriously, since manure was playing 9 men behind the ball, why not resort to opening their defence from the wings.
Zam and Abidal hardly made forays from the wings and it was all a passing game between Ini,Xavi and Toure.
It wasn't until Titi entered that it looked as if Barca could score a goal, as he was willing to run against their defence.
Kudos to Scholes,I thought he was gonna be d weak link, but surprisingly he worked his socks off in the middle.
Just my opinion, If Manure had come out to play, they could have won yesterday.Ronaldo was too isolated upfront for any meaningful attack.
All to play for though on Tuesday.We'll see what happens.
Manure had better watch out for Titi.Seems he's prepared to remain an adversary for life!!!

Before Abramovich brought in his big bucks, how much was the average salary in the Premiership?
Not every one can be a Chelsea and pay JT( a defender) 135k/week or pay Sheva and Ballack 130k/week(OMG )
Heard Evra was on 34k/week and demanded for a wage review to be amongst top earners.I don't know how far the negotiations have gone,but who would have thought he was on that amount/week?
We've paid huge wages in the past-Sol,Th14,Ljungberg,Pires etc and we'll do it again if its absolutely necessary.
Not splashing money like it's going out of fashion and end up making one 'superstar' the captain of the reserve team(Sheva comes to mind).
Meanwhile,Couldn't help but Notice TH14 yesterday.Barca fans were even chanting the familliar HENRY,HENRY,
He was the biggest threat (as per shots at goal) to VDS.

JUst wondering,
Has Hargreaves recovered from injury?
He will be the key man tonight if he plays.
Also, I hope Vidic has recovered also,
Fergie shouldn't play Scholes or Giggs or else,

Funny stuff happens in the CL
First Brendtner was 'defending' the goal for 'Pool against arsenal at the Emirates
and now Riise scoring for the Chavs at Anfield.
Guess we are goint to see lots more

@ Jackal
U can't compare those kicks to Rooney's assault.
No way

@tkb417
WTF!!!
That's where i have a problem with u mancs.
How could that have been a penalty?
You mancs just believe it's your God Given right to get a penalty in every match.
There was a clash of legs,Rooney then decided to go down after he saw he had lost possession
Anyway, I never spoke about penalty
I was talking about that rash foul.
If Mascherano could be dismissed for chatting with the ref,If Eboue could be dismissed for kicking Evra,If Mikel could be redcarded for his tackle at OT, then why not Rooney?The ref was even so reluctant to give a yellow.
Who knows maybe if samba had retaliated, he would have been given a straight red and a 3 match ban!
Rubbish!

So Benitez is fuming at the extra 4 minutes added on.
Maybe he now will realise the injustice Inter and Arsenal suffered in earlier rounds

@Jackal
Rooney's assault on Samba should have been punished with a red card and a ban of 7 matches for him, but no!!! never, he plays for manure.
It happenned in front of the idiot called Rob Styles,
yet the ref missed Hleb's timid slap, and yet, he's gonna be charged.
Inconsistencies galore.

@ Eldee
u took the words outta my mouth.
Billy has only been captain for one season.
U would have thought he has led arsenal for the last 3 seasons

@ Jackal
We all show emotions in different ways.
The only action which Gallas took which was overboard was when he sat down at Birmingham's end of the pitch while the penalty was being taken.
Apart from that, he was angry at Clichy and should be.
An innocous looking pass to him should have been dealt with easily and he blew it.
He was lucky I wasn't the captain, I would have dealt him a hot slap  
Seriously speaking, no one is perfect even as a captain.
TH14 would castigate Hleb and Reyes openly for not passing the ball to him,
Paddy and Keano(both captains) fought in the dressing room and also on the pitch.
G.Neville made a disgusting gesture at Liverpool supporters.
J.T behaves like a thug on the field.
So many examples.
WG should at least be commended for breaking up Ade and Bendtner's fight instead of joining one side.
I can imagine what would have happenned at White Hart Lane.
Go on Gallas

@ Bluehorizo
You make me laugh.
So JT is the perfect example of a captain
A captain that held the hand of a referee when he was about to give a red card
If it had been Eboue, maybe the Press would have called for him to be deported from UK
Guess you have forgotten that he has been stripped(for now) of his england captaincy because he is perceived as being a player who doesn't show example as per respecting refereeing decisions.
Oh, about 5 years ago, did u read about his escapades with Jody Morris?
or his escapades with call girls sometimes last year,
Spare me, everyone is laying on Gallas because he showed emotions.
I have seen a lotta players cry on the football field,Maradona,Gazza,Southgate,etc, even Sunday Oliseh wept at the national stadium in 2000 when we lost the ANC on penalties to Cameroun.
Leave WG alone.

bluehorizo:
I think JT is committed. I like that about him. Yes what else do we expect him to say as the captain? If it was Gallas i am sure he will cry all over the media.

Is it like you guys have a complex or something?
Would it not just be ok to say JT is commited and end it on that note than to compare him with Gallas,
Comparing him with WG or always having to say something about Arsenal always make u and ur fellow chavs look like you are suffering from some kind of complex

@ Jackal,
U make it look as if AW had fit players for the last 3 trophyless seasons.
We've got load of excuses also.
Starting from this season, how often did we have our starting 11 fit?
Rosicky and Van persie have hardly played.Sagna,Flamster, and of course Eduardo(can't forgive Taylor).
In 2007, Van Persie stopped playing in January after we beat manure and Titi stopped playing in March.
We played with Baptista, Ade and Aliaderre for God knows how long.
How about the season b4 then?Sol and Cashley were both injured all season.
In fact, I remember in that season, Clichy and cashley were both injured and we played up to 7 guys at left back, before AW settled for the Flamster.
Suffice it to say,that if we had ROS,RVP and DUDU fit for 90% of this season, we could have been on top now or we could have being declared champions before last week.
But it doesn't work out like that.It doesn't.
Every team has got excuses for not doing well,

After seeing Shrek's attack on Samba and comparing it with Eboue's attack on Evra, u laugh at the standard of refereeing in the EPL
Or was it because it was Manure or specifically, Shrek involved.
OMG, even in a rugby game, he would have been sent off.
It was a Wrestling move, that will make dem WWE guys envious.
Shrek should consider full-time wrestling when he calls it quit on his footie career

4 Play:
They won the League title in 91 and got to 2 European finals,winning one.This myth that Arsenal was a club in a cesspit prior to Wenger's arrival is ridiculous.I remember when Wenger took over,Arsenal,with Pat Rice as caretaker manager,where 3rd in the table.Where are they now? Same 3rd position.

Unlike Fergie who took over a club which hadn't won the league in 2 decades and which was just above the relegation places,there has been no significant improvements in Gunners fortunes under Wenger.

4-play,
You must be high on something, just trying to figure what it is.
Even if u ask SAF and the muppets on MOTD, they would certainly have a different view, How can any sane person say "There has ben no significant improvements in Gunners fortunes under Wenger".
What won't one read on this page simply because, some guy decided to smoke something strange before logging on.

@ Eldee
Don't mind them.
Every one knows what happenned to Arsenal.
Let me put it in summary like a friend did.

ARSENAL CRUISING.CUP GAMES.LEG BREAK.HAIR CUT.DODGY REFEREEING.SEASON OVER!!!

Now the haters can shut it!

@ sam milla
why are u looking for Arsenal fans?
can u go back to your thread and wait for your own match .Whichever one it is

abi.
Ade scores-27th of the season.
Apart from Titi, can't remember any Arsenal player scoring that many in a season

@ Dayokanu
Please leave AW alone,
When the tabloids link us to a teenager, u believe them,but when we are linked to a top class player(not saying Amauri is one), u disbelieve it.
What kind of logic is that?
Well, all of them are speculations.
when a deal is signed, we will believe!
Afterall,Mikel wore a manure shirt, yet he is playing for the chavs today!

@ dayokanu
Titi scored 3 goals in the 1998 world cup making him joint top scorer with Trezeguet for France and u are talking about his contribution to the team?
Guivarch and the rest have got medals which Gearge Weah,Gearge Best,Ginola and Cantona do not have.It doesn't make them better than the stars i mentioned but damn, who would not like to be have a world cup medal, even if u were the 3rd choice goalkeeper .
Meanwhile
who's this guy?
any more info about him
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-23479004-details/Arsenal+set+to+beat+Juventus+to+the+signature+of+Brazilian+striker+Amauri/article.do

@ Dayokanu
What has Henry won?
OMG, He has won the world cup and the european cup(Not sure a lot of players can boast of that)
I guess the only accolade he hasn't won is the champions league.
Somebody spiiled out TH14's achievments here and i was so surprised.I didn't even know he's won so many.
Forget all those world player of the year, euro player of the year etc, (too subjective for my liking)
You talk about him scoring goals
Do you know he is the highest scoring frenchman ever, He surpassed Platini's record a few months ago.

I think I have said this before.
I really do not reckon with all these individual awards.
Some guys keep making top 50 in these awards and u wonder who and who were voting or what's the criteria?
Henry was injured for most of 2007, yet his name appeared.
Raul's name is always there.There was atime Owen's name was there and that season, he was having problems at Liverpool

Ryan Giggs.
Jari Litmanen

What's this dude talkin' about?

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-23478713-details/I%27d+never+have+joined+Chelsea+if+I%27d+known+Grant+was+going+to+replace+Mourinho%2C+blasts+Ben+Haim/article.do

Like I said before,I don't believe AW should be sacked(Who do u go for).
He has put himself in a comfort zone.
Hell, who won't like a manager that competes at the highest level, yet makes loads of money for you
You give him 70 million, he doesn't touch it and he was still in the title race with 5 matches to go and a CL spot assured
Ask newcastle, who keep spending loads and keep declining, or west ham or even manc city with nothing to show for it.
They spend twice as much as Arsenal, yet, nothing
However, AW needs to be made 'uncomfortable'be put under immense pressure.That will make him have a bigger squad and probably land us a trophy.
2003/2004 and now, there has been lots of changes,
Anyone knows about USmanov and his team?Seems the takeover may be this summer.
I wonder what will happen if Dein should come back

I really doubt if the Arsenal management will sack AW,
All I think is that he needs to be 'shaken up',
The comfort zone he is in should be made uncomfortable.
