^^^ almost doesn't count.

No one said/implied it counted.

Naah
I would not blame Wenger for ringing the changes in yesterday's game.
Wetin dey do Arsenal fans sef?
Do you know that 90% of your players are injury prone?
What's the point of putting players there, who 48 hours earlier, put in , arguably, their best display this season?
We usually smile when we see those players on the bench?
Are they gonna be perpetual bench warmers?
Some asked if Chelsea also changed 8 players?
Who do they want to play Bolton with?McEachran,Bruma,Kakuta and co??
Just like someone opined,Manure changed just one player after the Sunderland win and drew also.
The team was good enough to beat Wigan. . . .and almost did
I really don't know why teams relax after a player in the opposition is sent off
They are like wounded lions, they play outta their skin right after.
No one to organise the defence.
That's a real problem for the Arsenal
A very cheap goal to concede
Even if Rodi was allowed to head the ball from the far post, there should be enogh bodies to deal with it.
Facts say we have conceded 50% of our goals from set  pieces.
That is piss poor.
Nzogbia dived and it was outside the box.Nasri's free kick was stopped by the Wigan's defender's hand. . . .
But we need to move on.
We should still have won comfortably with all these incidents
Anyways. . . .
We have Birmingham on Sunday
We have unfinished business there
I can't forget Almunia's howler there last season and no one needs to be reminded of that day in 2008(Dudu,Theo,Clichy,Gallas).
St Andrews always present a season defining moment!

Arshavin is just one crazy guy.
Where did AW get him?
From the Ridiculous to the Sublime.
Been useless thruout the game and he gets the most difficult chance and scores
Nicky too hasn't been playing well,but he's got the 2nd.
The Wigan team is poor and we should try and wrap it up before the hour mark
and. . . .
THat was NO PENALTY
First it was a DIVE
Second, it was outside the box
Football is freaking crazy.
Compare this to when Vela was hacked down in the Braga match and yet got a yellow card for it
Shocked about the selection,
but let's play Devil's advocate here.
The Gaffer is trying to rotate as much as possible, to keep players fresh
We play twice a week till end of February(I think)
You can't use the same set of players.

I have missed so much
Good victory over the chavs.
Like Theo said , it won't count, if we don't beat Wigan tonite
The Red and White army will keep marching on!

LWKMD
Just to think that a few weeks ago, I spent valuable time arguing with my friend Nateevs when he said some Arsenal fans have never witnessed a victory over Chelski in their life time.
It wasn't a 1-0 victory oooh

See association of nitwits!

[quote author=cou-gar link=topic=567773.msg7396121#msg7396121 date=1293113778]what advantage did shakhtar and braga have at home against arsenal?

the last time barcelona came to old trafford, they were beaten bluish-blackish. same treatement also went to real madrid, inter milan, ac milan and bayern munich. united don't joke at old trafford.[/quote]
Yet, Tiny Leeds (Ligue 1)beat u Bluish-Blackish(since 1-0 wins are BB ) just last season.
I can say United don't joke at Old Trafford

StarBoard:
Stop dodging the issue.
I mentioned "home".What brought about United's away record against Chelsea?What does that have to do with my post?
You talk just for the sake of it.Go and prepare for Christmas,abeg.That is not the issue.

Am prepared for Christmas.
I wonder how Christmas enter issue

[quote author=cou-gar link=topic=567773.msg7396075#msg7396075 date=1293113331]so man utd not winning at the bridge since 2002 is the same thing as arsenal losing at home to chelsea in the last 3 years? wow, just fuckin wow! some gaynners do have them. [/quote]Cut that  to two years.
We were beaten at home 08/09 and 09/10
We won in 07/08
and no one has said it's the same thing
Your mate here said we shouldn't be called a big team, because we have lost twice consecutively to Chelsea at home and I merely pointed out that manure haven't also won at the bridge in 8 years.
Simple

StarBoard:
You're not worth an answer,I swear.
Voyeurism runs deep in the Arsenal fans' DNA.That's all I'll say to you.

Hmmn
Arsenal is the main topic on this thread every other day
Tell me who the voyeurs are.

[quote author=cou-gar link=topic=567773.msg7396051#msg7396051 date=1293113098]stop acting like a dunderhead. every team is expected to win at home. this is why it's called 'home advantage'.[/quote]
Hmmmn
What advantage will Djibouti/Mongolia have at home against Spain?
or FC United of Manchester against Barcelona?

@starboard
Stick with you 5/6 seasons trophyless mantra
We will laugh at it together
Venturing outside that will be countered.
Every team has statistics that have not favoured them
Point out one and we will bring out yours

Typical Scummies
I guess home wins fetch you 3 points and away victories get you 4 points!

StarBoard:
Personally,I would like a draw to be possible.

StarBoard:
But you an never pin anything on Arsenal getting some kind of result against Chelsea when it matters.
Going by past history,I'm not likely to place any bets on Arsenal even getting a draw,

StarBoard:
though you can never really tell. . .

The last phrase would have just been apt
All the other stuff above was what oyinbo will call 'going around in circles'
_{I bet the next response will be pointless vituperation}

StarBoard:
It's more than three years since Arsenal got a point at home against Chelsea.
Shocking statistic.
Even Arsenal should not be called a big club. . .

What's shocking abou t it?

Manure have not won at the bridge since 2002

Shocking statistic

eh?

You people are still on this 'big game' arguement.
I am so BORED right now that Fulham vs West ham at noon on Boxing day is a freaking big game for me.
I can't wait
I hope the crazy weather allows though.

tkb417:
The mumu said out of those that have won d award in d past, only Messi is SLIGHTLY better than him

Rooney, Van der Vart, Pato, Cesc, Anderson have all won d award

That boi is a doofus

You dey mind am.

No be Evra try 'sangalow' against Everton and he kicked dry air and Everton got their first goal
or Where were u when Damien Duff turned him inside out in the game against Fulham?

What does Balotelli know?
Maybe the names of Demons
Because they keep troubling him wherever he goes!

Truth be Told.
Clichy has regressed badly.
Arsenal fans used to call him Gael'who the heck is Cashley' Clichy!
Am afraid, you will look silly calling him that now.
Too many matches you can point out that his individual 'schoolboy' errors led to Arsenal losing the match.
No one would teach you some basics of defending.
If in doubt, hoof the ball as high and as far as possible.
Our trying to pass the ball outta defence has reduced a bit this season though
LK6 and Squills try to do the basics, but the trouble is that we still do not defend as a team.
Check out most goals scored against Arsenal, if we had midfielders or even attackers tracking back, we would not have conceded those goals.
Look at other teams when they are defending a slim goal lead.
Just before Alex's goal against us in the Chavs match, you see a Drogba coming back deep to defend
Our players stroll around the park when there is a counter attack against us.
It's so disgusting.
Let's get the best centre backs both dead and alive.
If you dont attack and DEFEND together as a team in modern day footie, you won't win anything!

[quote author=cou-gar link=topic=567773.msg7384875#msg7384875 date=1292973447]stop being a lunkhead. nani and bale have been better than nasri this first half of the season.[/quote]Just Nani and Bale
I will include Valencia and Giggs

Cristalz:
A big game, on the other hand, is a relative thing. It's a dependent variable in an equation that may or may not have a significant implication at a particular time.

First all, welcome back
My thoughts also.

BTW,A lot of the arguements here are so biased, it's irritating at times.

Usmanov vs Kroenke
A never ending battle
We go dey siddon look

Balotelli

dayokanu:
Last season they beat you 2-1, this season 1-0.

When was the last time you even played a draw with them?

The season before the last

dayokanu:
If the total domination we saw last monday is not schooling then tell us

1-0Total domination
So what would we call Barca's 5-0 over Madrid?

dayokanu:
How many saves VDS made vs Szcezy.

Like Woijech wasn't employed to make saves

[quote author=cou-gar link=topic=497240.msg7368344#msg7368344 date=1292784161]it's pathetic. i don't get how a game can be cancelled  27 hours before kick-off when the pitch has undersoil heating and it's ok.[/quote]Same here.
An aerial view on Sunday at 2.00pm

dayokanu:
Lucky?

Its only a GAYYner that would say we were lucky to win a game we scored 5 goals.

You scored 5 goals and the other team scored how many?
At 5-3, the momentum was with Stutgart and a stone cold penalty was denied them.
You obviously look satisfied with that perfomance.
It explains why Bayern Nonsense are where they are on the table.

dayokanu:
How can you expect me to be commenting on Jay Emmanuel, Wellington, Issey Miyake etc. I would prefer to use my time analysing Taiwo Enegwa, Sunny Umoru and Oladunni Oyekale

Then create a freaking thread to analyse those players you mentioned.
This is the Arsenal thread and those players mentioned are Arsenal players.

Lucky bayern

See the bayern keeper wasting time(running down the clock) in a match they were leading 5-1

Penalty denied
Una don bribe referee?

@DK
3-5
I am backing Stutgart to complete this
Useless bayern Mushin
