Why dont you look at the penalty again!

Which one?
Ramires' own?

Extra time
Now let's look at that offisde goal again!

On another day.
Fellaini's goal might have stood
Guess the linesman saw his 'big hair' offside

Real reason why Torrres isn't playing against Everton today

proudly9ja:
Cesc's latest Tweet, very funny

I saw that also.
Quite funny

[quote author=*Cougar* link=topic=567773.msg7749361#msg7749361 date=1297961121]abidal is a left back. . . . .not a centre-back. eboue was a right back before sagna joined you guys. he was playing his natural position last night, same as djourou. abidal's natural position isn't centre-back. just because darren fletcher has played as a right back before does not mean it's his natural position. it's not arsenal's fault barca had no strength in depth but for any gaynner to rant arsenal played the strongest barca side in recent times is stupidly exaggerating and toolishly overstating the issue.[/quote]Don't blame any arsenal fan
Blame the Press for calling this Barca team the greatest ever
But come to think of it, I can't blame the press
Remember this was the same team that beat Real Madrid 5-0
Not just Real Madrid oooh
Real Madrid coached by the self dubbed 'special one' Jose Mourinho
When the draw was made, even the most optimistic Arsenal fan felt it was game over
and that it could even be worse than last year.
16 games winning streak is a new record in Spain!
Not taking anything away from Barca, Arsenal was passed to death y'day.
But we won 2-1, which is what matters.
Its half time
We don't know what will happen at the Nou camp in 3 weeks time
But come on, give this team some credit for beating barca
and stop talking up Puyol like he is the best defender in the world.
He couldn't have done better than abidal last night!

[quote author=*Cougar* link=topic=567773.msg7749260#msg7749260 date=1297960127]they all played last season when the aggregate was 6-2. my point is, barca played a champions league game with a make-shift defence. agreed vermaelen and sagna didn't play but their replacements weren't strikers or midfielders or full-backs. eboue(sagna's replacement) is a right back and djourou(vermaelen's replacement) is a centre-back. try playing clichy or gibbs in the central defence in a champions league game and see what happens afterwards.[/quote]Jeez Cougar
did someone steal your password?
Are you saying you have never seen Abidal play at CB for Barca?
Abidal was perhaps, one of the best players on the field yesterday
Played better than Pique IMO
The last gasp header by Abidal to deny RVP a goal in the 1st half from a Cesc cross was one of the best defensive play of the entire match.
Eboue is far, far behind Sagna as we speak.
Ours was more of a makeshift defence compared to Barca
and my friend, forget last year,even a blind man knows the Arsenal have improved.
Last year we had a quarter fit Gallas playing and Silvestre,Dennilson and Bendtner started at Camp Nou
RVP finally got to play against Barca!

[quote author=*Cougar* link=topic=567773.msg7749127#msg7749127 date=1297958867]barca without puyol is the same as man utd without vidic/rio. abidal(left back) had to play as a centre back - that should tell you how weak barca were last night.[/quote]Ok
We played a Nasri just coming back from an injury
Tomas Vermalen(our best defender) did not play
Bacary Sagna(1st choice right back) did not play
Who knows what will happen if they had been available

ritchboy:
How can a team holding a high line be said to have parked the bus?

Another smash hit from Cougar!

Some of his comments are shocking!
Even the Arsenal haters all over the world gave it to Arsenal yesterday
Now someone is telling us we parked the bus while holding a high line
I have never seen such contradiction in a single sentence.
Next, it was the ref that did us favours.
What else,it was the green outfit Barca wore,it was because  it was played on wednesday instead of Tuesday
SMH

[quote author=*Cougar* link=topic=567773.msg7749013#msg7749013 date=1297957898]you are a tool for thinking a barcelona side without puyol is better than any that has faced any other premier league side previously. you played one of the weakest barca team yesterday and that was why you won with the aid of a dodgy line assistant. at 2-0 in the first half, the match would have been effectively over.[/quote]@Cougar
Please enlighten us on the highlighted.
We played a weak Barca team because Puyol did not play.
You are just a bitter soul
How much did u lose yesterday?

Wojiech's celebration was kinda scary
I was afraid he was gonna burst a blood vessel in his head or have a heart attack!
Can't blame him sha
even me wey dey watch on TV. . .jumped and my head nearly hit the roof

@Slimshay
Happy birthday.

@A-40
You saw Koscielny aka oko oloyun tonight?

chamotex:
Where is Dayokanu and his instruments?

Dayo was last seen trying to jump into lake Chad after drinking raw ethanol

coded guy:
Congrats on d win, tot a draw wud have been d best result. Nou camp, next. HNIC how u doing, be careful with d celebrations, u can still fall off d brigde with excitement.

After Arshavin's goal went in, I jumped so high, my head hit the roof.
For now, i don't care about the 2nd leg. . . . We've just beaten a team that had Messi,Ini and Xavi(according to fifa, the best players in the world)

That's Van persie's 12th goal in his last 10 games. . . .
and some folks are still comparing a batty boy that plays in a substandard league with him.

agabaI23:
Thought you only talk about business

The boys are good. Messi was not allowed a free reign.

Lemme gloat a likkle
Messi was in Kocielny's back pocket all thru the game.
Still drooling about 19 year old Jack Wilshere
lemme try and describe him tonight.
Paul GASCOIGNE WITH BETTER PASSING VISION!
AND Capello wanna use him as a Makalele. . . . is Capello alright?

@Proudly9ja
From the first minute, I saw Kos in an Arsenal jersey, i knew he would be a star
the 8-10m paid will soon be like peanuts
But how about Jack the Kid. . . . .
one word. . . .Briliant!

Its the freaking Arsenal baby!
Am partying all night
The lazy russian is now the Amazing russian!

codeb:
this one wey all Arsenal fans dey shout victory, i hope you all will be here after the match.

Abeg DK begin hire equipments keep cos tonite we are featuring Wande Coal,Dbanj, Obasere, Shina peters,Iceprince,MI,9ice.

TONITE IS THE NITE!

You certainly are a newbie
After 5 trophyless seasons, we are still here and you think a loss to the so called 'best team in the world' will send us away
You are a comedian!
Whatever happens. . . . You will still find us here.

coded guy:
Leave Rooneys 'shangallo' Goal alone. Its a goal all your strikers will continue to wish they could execute

So why come to your thread to fight me on what I opined on the Arsenal thread?

coded guy:
As for HNIC, i have given up on him. he is busy w@nking his life off Man United for no apparent reason.

Wetin dey do this one?where my comment dey here.
You must sha bring on names to justify hogwash posted abi?

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=567426.msg7739000#msg7739000 date=1297843140]And who else is sick and tired of the noise surrounding Rooney's goal! Abi is it because he is English? Na him go 1st score Zangallo lol! Its Wednesday enuff already! ESPN,Supersports,E!,African Magic and man u colleagues are drivin me nuts with this noise[/quote]@A-40
Immediately Rooney scored, the first thing I muttered under my breathe was 'We no go hear word again'.
The frenzy won't end for a long time.
The skysports commentators are the most nauseating
Each time anyone tries a 'Shangalow' now, next thing is 'Does he think he's Rooney'?
I expended much energy trying to make sense of the Citeh game yesterday.
Statements that constantly woke me up were 'Citeh still suffering the effect of the Rooney goal",'Rooney's goal still the best this season',bla bla bla
My mate's 'shangalow', with which he scored the winning goal last saturday in our 'saturday,saturday footie' pass Rooney's goal.
I will record the next goal and put it here for all of una to see

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=567426.msg7739000#msg7739000 date=1297843140]@HNIC
Sagna's suspended gee[/quote]Thanks bro
I keep forgeting everytime.
Eboue?
I cringe.
Dude has not been in the best form lately
No shaking. . . We are winning

Gomez vs RVP
It's like comparing Jim Iyke with Denzel Washington
On to today's game, just like A-40 said, it will be crazy to go gung ho against Barca.
We could be hit badly on the counter.
Jack and Song should sit in front of the back 4 as much as possible and Theo+Andrei will have to play the game of their lives while tracking back to help the full backs
Trust Cesc and RVP to do their thing.
RVP has not played against Barca previously.
Hoping he hits them hard today.
I think our starting 11 will be Wojiech,Koscielny,Djorou,Clichy,Sagna,Jack,Cesc,Song,Theo,RVP and AA23.
I think Nasri would be introduced later.
Come on Gunners

You lost drew in the West London derby
I thought the spiritual problems were over after the Sunderland game

allboyz:
hApI bUfdAI HNIC!!!!!

olodo:
@HNIC Happy birthday bro. Nice game we could hav scored more but for Tw14 .

duduspace:
Happy Birthday HNIC, thots of that RVP brace should spice up the celebrations.

Thanks

A fierce arguement here amongst me manc friends.
Which goal was better?
Berbatov's overhead kick against 'Pool or Rooney's goal today?

debosky:
Happy birthday HNIC. . . .have a good celebration on us.

Thanks Debosky

slimshay:
Happy birthday HNIC, extra sip for you.

Thanks Slimshay

Interesting Statistic from the net
"Van Persie has scored 10 Premier League goals in 2011, a new PL record for most goals in first two months of a calendar year."

Good comfortable win at the Emirates.
It should have been more than 2-0
Good birthday gift for me.
Arsenal always seem to win on/around my birthday
Only that the blue scummies failed to do anything at O.T.
Celebration continues
