2-1
We gifted Porto the two goals
We'll see at the Emirates in 3 weeks time

rasputinn:
Arsene has lost the plot
What's Eboue coming in for?

Cut AW some slack also
Is it RVP,Eduardo or Ade that will come in?

rasputinn:
@ HNIC

Cut FAB4 some slack,the Porto squad is bent on removing his ankle,he's performed wonderfully under the circumstance

Nope
He's been poor!
He has done nothing today!!!
Sol has been a rock in defence!

The officiating has been shocking!!!!

snowdrops:
Clichy has been very poor in this match

Clichy has been rubbish since he returned from his injury!

Why is Silvestre warming up?

fab4 has been piss poor tonight!!!

rasputinn:
After holding the ball,he shoulda been clever and bought time by holding on to the ball while attempting to argue with the ref,or he could throw the ball away in annoyance,this will allow his defenders to fall back to position and defend the 6 yard box,he's just a ninny.PRONTO

Would have earned him a yellow card
Watch it again
Ref took the ball forcefully from him and gave it to the Porto player
Unbelievable

snowdrops:
the referee is losing control of this match

He has lost control since the 1st half

akinalabi:
What I wonder is why Fabianski held that in the first place.

Stupid of him, though he isn't the 1st keeper to hold a backpass.
The ref collects the ball forcefully from him and handed it over to Porto players to score!!!!
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!

Dclique:
How?

What's the rule about indirect free kicks esp in the box 18
Please be truthful

I dont understand these rules anymore!!!

What a first half
End to end stuff
What a howler by Fabianski
and Big Sol . . . . .
Fairy tale,from Nott County to CL footie
We need to calm down and go for the kill in the 2nd half
Fab4 should have known he will be the target in this tie, he should relax and not get involved
One yellow card and he will miss the return leg

Diaby has returned to the 'Maradona' mode
Release the  ball,ni%%a

I predicted earlier that Sol was gonna score

dayokanu:
Did you see how Hleb the best player in Arsenal turned out to be in Stuttgart? This shows that any slightly average player in BL can dominate at Arsenal

dayokanu:
Who was Assanals best player in 2007/2008. Any football watcher would name Hleb in Arsenals top 3.

.

All in a space of 30 minutes and 3 posts.
Really, i must ask
ARE YOU OK

dayokanu:

Hleb
Arsenal's best player
I am sorry, but I have to question your state of mind!
ARE YOU OK?

dayokanu:
Whats the difference? Citeh of 10months ago with a better manager was sodomised by Hamburg true or false?

how can anyone compare Citeh's team today with the one of 10 months ago
I bet only you CAN!
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5532595#msg5532595 date=1266424360]He was out for 12 months and it did not stop him from banging the goals.
Djibril Cisse's injury was worse than Eduardo's and he was still a prolific goalscorer. . . . .It's high time y'all realise Eduardo is animal shyte. [/quote]It's no more RVN, it's Cisse. . . . and of course Cisse went on to join Barca after his leg break and was the highset goalscorer!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5532273#msg5532273 date=1266422419]Either way, your statement reeks of idiocy.
If the players that replaced Ronaldo have offered nothing, how come United were able to beat you HOME/AWAY this season?
Ronaldo's ghost? [/quote]I can see that beating Arsenal home/away is the high point of the season for scummies!
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5532273#msg5532273 date=1266422419]The loss of RVP cannot be used as an excuse.
He's been with Arsenal since 04/05, he is yet to win a league title.
His absence or presence has no bearing on Arsenal's title dreams. He is yet to score 12 league goals in his pathetic career.[/quote]Scummie reasoning as usual.
Ok to say loss of Vidic/Rio cost Manure 6 points yet loss of RVP(a player that was Barclays player of the month in OCT'09, days before the injury)did not cost Arsenal points.
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5532273#msg5532273 date=1266422419]Unfit Eduardo?
How many years will it take Eduardo to be fit? A useless player is a useless player.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy was crocked for 12 months @ PSV and he won the EPL's golden boot a season later with Man Utd. [/quote]Like RVN broke his leg
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5532273#msg5532273 date=1266422419]If Wenger loses tonight, trust him to complain.
He is a poor excuse of a manager. The most under-achieving manager in Europe.
A manager charging the highest gate fee in Europe should not be finishing TROPHYLESS. [/quote]If we lose tonight, I am sure he won't ask UEFA for an independent person to calculate time added on and won't question the referre's fitness like the Gum chewing Geriatric

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5531334#msg5531334 date=1266416623]Put your brain cells to use.
U said none of Valencia, Owen and Obertan scored against Arsenal and i said Nani did not score also but he was the MOTM.
To put it straight. . . . . . a player does not have to score in a match to sodomise his opponents.[/quote]See wahala
We were talking about players that replaced CR7 and suddeny u popped up Nani's name!
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5531334#msg5531334 date=1266416623]Those 2 games cost United 6 points.
Add those 6 points to the total haul we have now and United woulda wrapped up the league title.
Wenger n Arsenal fans complain about injuries every season but the fact remains United suffer more injuries but we don't moan about it.[/quote]So what are you giving?
Are they not excuses?
With your same line of reasoning,how many points has the loss of Robin Van Persie cost us?
Or an unfit Eduardo,Rosicky, et al.
Five first teamers won't be at Porto tonight
It's even the Press going on and on about it!
Have you seen arsenal fans complain?
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5531334#msg5531334 date=1266416623]Arsenal needed the help of a deflection to score against a defence unit of Rafael--Evans--Brown--Evra @ the Emirates.
Shame on Wenger!!![/quote]And y'all couldn't score against Villa at home

dayokanu:
Bring your Arsenal over and see how you fare. Go and watch how Arsenals best crumbled at the Olympicstadion

Arsenal: Lehmann, Lauren, Toure, Cygan, Clichy (Cole 83), Ljungberg (Van Persie 76), Vieira, Edu (Flamini 36), Pires, Reyes, Henry.

Tell me why this line-up that is one of the greatest in Arsenals history was mauled without Ballack and Deisler. Bayern didnt even break a sweat.
Lemme guess your response, There was no Bendtner in the team or Walcott was still in Junior high.

If Wolfsburg can be crowned champions,Arsenal will go 3 seasons unbeaten!

The same Man Citeh that was beaten black and Blue by Hamburg less than 12 months ago

We are talking about Citeh of today!
Read my post again!

dayokanu:
And have you bothered to check how Wolfsburg are faring in the league this season? Of course Gaynners are never known to think deep.
Or why would Liverpool second in EPL last season be decimated by teenagers like Jovetic

So what, if wolfsburg isn't doing well, fact is that they are defending champions.
Isn't it?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5530550#msg5530550 date=1266410360]Nani did not score but he sodomised Arsenal without condoms.[/quote]Nani
I said Valencia,Obertan and Owen who were brought in to replace CR7 were useless and didn't do anything against Arsenal
and you mention Nani.
Was Nani bought last summer
Nani ko, Ninny ni
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5530550#msg5530550 date=1266410360]Yes, long spells.
This season, Vidic/Rio have only played together only FOUR TIMES.
VDS was absent for ages and yet United keep slapping pathetic clubs like the GAYnners.[/quote]Come on, The freaking quote is there for all to see
You said manure has been playing with Central Midfielders for long spells
That's a lie.
Fletcher and carrick must have played together in just 2 or at most three games
Brown and evans have been playing most of the games[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5530550#msg5530550 date=1266410360]3rd in the league that you can never win - Not good enough.
Out of all domestic cup competitions - No trip to Wembley this season.
UEFA Champions League? Not in a million years as Chelsea and Man Utd are also in that competition.

Arsene Wenger cannot win a 2-legged tie against Chelsea and Man Utd till the 2nd coming of Jesus.[/quote]Reh reh reh
We've heard it all before!
At least I didn't make any excuses about the injuries we have had this season!

dayokanu:
Bayern lost their 2 best players to injury this season yet they are neck-to-neck with the only unbeaten team in a European league this season.

We are talking about leagues, you put mouth there
Budesrubbish is whack
Man Citeh would have been unbeaten by now in your league and be 10 points clear.
Wolfsburg(champions) were decimated 3-1 by Owen,Obertan and co

dayokanu:
Pound for Pound, Man Utd has suffered more injuries than Arsenal this season yet Fergie doesnt come up with that excuse.

Pound for Pound ko, Euro for euro ni.
When did you hear Arsene Wenger moaning about injuries? or using it as an excuse?
don't worry,Fegie doesn't moan about injuries, he moans about injury time added!

dayokanu:
This is a world cup year hope you remember.

All Ronaldinhos exploits in 2006 were forgotten due to his average world cup

You are right.
Even if rooney scores 40+ goals en route to winning the EPL and UCL, if England gets bundled out early in South Africa, no hope of being named WPOTY.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=374223.msg5529877#msg5529877 date=1266405084]Talk us through TV5's goal against United at the Emirates.[/quote]Naah
Why not talk us through all the goals scored by your second best striker this season 'Mr Own goal'?
His best was undoubtedly, the volley against Pompey . . . . James watched in awe!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5529826#msg5529826 date=1266404729]They have been worthless and yet they sodomised you HOME/AWAY this season.[/quote]Which of the three played at the Emirates, except maybe a 10minutes cameo show.They didnt score did they?
and forget about the O.T match.You had Abou Diaby and the blind ref to thank for the 3 points!
[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5529826#msg5529826 date=1266404729]The team has outscored others in the league with just a point below league leaders having played 2 CMs in their defence for a long spell.[/quote]
Please correct the highlighted
Long spells
I can also say, which team can be 3rd in the league,6 points adrift and have played 4-6-0 formation for 25/26 league matches?

proudly9ja:
Point is, if we win the league and continue with the same system of not buying players next season, we won't win it again. That's the point I was trying to make with my above post.

Very true

proudly9ja:
Even when SAF lost Ronaldo, he brought in Valencia, Obertan and Owen and Rooney has really stepped up. That's someone who has ambition.

I don't agree with you on the highlighted.All three have been worthless so far!

proudly9ja:
Now that he has indirectly said that, I watch Arsenal these days to see how Diaby, Nasri, etal have developed and try and guess how much they will go for in 2/3 years to come.

This got me laughing real hard.
You too funny

Scholesy's goal was fortuitous.
The guy completely missed with one leg, it hit the other leg and rolled into the net
If it ever occurs again in his career, he will be regarded as a Sorcerer

slimshay:
Ok how often to you get to have an arsenal match on your birthday which turns out be an ash wednesday?!!!!

Alrite you Gunners I want my birthday gift!!!!!! A win in the Dragao!!!!!

@Slimshay
Happy birthday and many happy returns of the day.Hope the lads will make it memorable.
Big Sol to score twice from Fab4's setpiece

I think the best Arsenal will get is a draw!
However, I will comment more,when I see the line up for the match!

debosky:
Amazing or an all too often occurring excuse?

Time will tell.

PS - Utd are missing Giggs, Vidic and Anderson among others and are 'still competing' too.

When we learn to have a squad big enough to progress regardless of our ever occuring injuries or get to the root of persistent injuries by our players, then we will have a true chance at greatness.

It is no coincidence that the bulk of the invincibles team (those guys again) were able to play 30+ games that season.

come on debo, this pessimism is getting the better of you.
My statement of us still competing was not done to eulogise the team
There are no excuses for failure really.
It's not anyone's business if your players are crocked.
I just find it amazing that we are still in any competition.

proudly9ja:
I hope we win the league but if we do, it will be more of United and \Chelsea losing it than us winning it.

Come on Proudly9ja,If we win the league, we deserve it, simple!not a case of United/Chelsea losing it.
It's a marathon and not a knockout competition.
You can't be league champions by luck.
You have 38 games in 9 months to show what you are made of.

All to play for in three weeks time
At 3-1, it was game over
but 3-2, more drama at O.T!

What a match!!!!!

Didn't see it.
How much Fergie time was given?

proudly9ja:
Arsenal miss out on 5 top players for the away game to Porto.

Gallas, Almunia, Eduardo, Song and Arshavin all out.

Id expect Sol Campbell, Fabianski and Eboue to come in for 4 of the 5 above. Edu was prolly not going to be i the starting 11 anyways.

I keep saying this . . . .
How this team, with this amazing list of injuries, are still competing, is amazing !!!!!!!!

Emperoh:
That do be injustice at the highest order as i heard 14 out of 20 is neede to make it a law.
Thats like opening a back door for those outta the top four to come in!!
Where were they when the season started? Who would want to play another 3 -4 matches at the end of a season?
Abeg they had better shelve this plan joo!!

Good talk Emperoh
The FA are always looking for ways to 'con' fans off their hard earned money.
Even in the lower leagues, I still feel it's senseless, talkless of in the EPL.
Let's wait and see though,Stranger things have happened before!

Won't work!
Talks about it will evaporate. . . . just like the 39th match did
