allboyz:
let the thread for the macth btw Chelsea and Arsenal begin now and let mi make ma predos. . .

hints - AA23 + FAB4 to get at least a goal each!. . . .3 points so very sure at the Bridge!!!

When are you ever going to learn with your moronic predos?

allboyz:
Arsenal last season is not as this season!!

very tight game but i see a 3 - 1 over the MANURES!!!

FAB4
AA23
SOL

nateevs:
Jose will be licking his lips after one game. . .
Classic.

Nateevs, is the Premiership still BLUE?

presido1:
That will be good but we must score loads of goal incase of any slip up. The way clubs(Big & Small) are beating and drawing each other 7 points gap will be a tall order for any club this season.

United always play better in the second half of the season.
When clubs like Arsenal/Chelsea falter after Christmas. . . . . .United step on the gas.
By the end of this month, you will see the effect of what i mean.

presido1:
Goals will have a hand in this yr's tittle. Thanks God we used arse-anal to boost our spam goal count. If we score 3 or 4 against pompey and keep a clean slate it will be a lee way for us.

I doubt it. . . . .
United will win the title with at least 7 points gap.
These underachievers cannot remember how to win a league title any longer.

It's a disgrace that Chelsea/Arsenal have failed to capitalise on United's injury crisis in the defence.
To think Vidic/Rio have only played 4 league games together and we are only 2 points below the league leaders is a credit to SAF.
Now that Nani is flying. . . . . . . .It's looking like another United title.

presido1:
Look @ these London failures taking a swipe at each other. Our trap is working fine.

Is the EPL still blue?

Two points ahead is advantage Fergie by sunday nit it might be 3 points or u guys behind.
Can A$$es do a nice job? Looks like they will be boosted by this draw tonite. AW is on fone now with PB right apologising for what fab4 did last season at the same time seeking advice and initiative on how to tackle those rugby players on sunday.

I remember telling Nateevs and Debosky that the rot starts after those African players come back from ACN.
The best result Chelsea can get on Sunday is another DRAW. If Wenger pushes the envelope, Arsenal will win @ the Bridge.
Advantage Fergie. . . . . .By the time the London clubs neutralise each other on Sunday, United woulda decimated Pompey to go on top.

At this rate, 79 points will win the league.

doyin13:
Na wa. . . which kain juju Fergie dey use stifle all these
coaches' medulla.

First na Wenger, now Ancellotti.

If scummies win the prem again, I switch to watching rugby full time  

It's UNITED's title. . . . . . .Like Fergie said, i hope Arsenal BATTER Chelsea on Sunday.

chic2pimp:
I though him & Carrick were the new pirlo

I can speak for Carrick. . . . .not for Denilson.

@~Sauron~
I know how you feel. Its the most critically acclaimed movie of 2009. "The Hurt Locker" has received a lot of positive reviews from critics. But trust the moviegoers themselves, they have different opinions on the movie. Well, to me, "The Hurt Locker" was an OK movie about that bomb disposal guru.

What is so spectacular about the movie?
A bomb disposal psycho defusing bombs all over Iraq and then what?
No plot, the conversation was ZERO, the camera angles weren't right and to think the movie was nominated goes to show how Hollywood has sunken to a new low.

HNIC:
There was an arsenal fan site where a fan said Eduardo was Poo on sunday
I was perlexed

There are 2 types of fans.

1) The ones that actually take the time to watch football games.
2) The ones that just see ONLY the headlines and pass their judgement based on the results.

duduspace:
Of course, yu can always pass your opinion, the fact that they are guaranteed to be snide remarks means nothing at all no?  

I am entitled to ma opinion. . . .Snide or cracking.

Sauron, the only thing you can be sure of is that the sun will rise sometime tomorrow (even this is not guaranteed if we believe the bible punching folks),

With the way Wenger has handled the squad, i don't expect the sun rising any time soon.
The facts are there for all to see.

maybe its Mr. Arshavin's attitude that prevented him from passing to his team mates because he probably believes he is the only one who can do it for the team. A player shouldn't go bout undermining his own team. nuff said. Mr. Roy Keane went about doing the same thing some years back and we all saw where that ended and what came after.

TBH, Arshavin did what was right given the circumstances.
Rosicky & Cesc were late arriving into the box to receive any pass from Arshavin.
The Russian assassin does not waste time and there was nothing to say Cesc/Rozzi woulda finished off the chances anyways.

obinna5000:
The strong contenders in the Best Picture category are: "Avatar", "Inglourious Basterds", "District 9" and "The Hurt Locker". I have this feeling "Avatar" will win this category.
"Up" will win Best animated feature film. "Avatar" will also win the Best Visual Effects category even though "District 9" is another strong contender.

Hurt Locker? That shyte movie?
It's the worst movie i have seen in 2 decades.
The producers/directors should be jailed.

semid4lyfe:
Yeah. . . .Sauron, you're right. . . .it was a very good decoy move by Vladimir.

Cheese n Rice. . . . .
Vladmir is now boning Renee. . . . . Episode 6 is a cracker.

debosky:
Fans are biased - If it was Eduardo that missed those chances yesterday, A-40 would've been screaming that he's finished. But not so for AA23 right?  While not saying both players are the same, it just shows you how people's minds work.

Song was as culpable as Denilson - he wasn't even anywhere near the ball in the goals but he is a Saint based on previous performances.
Cesc was a dud - even Song was more creative than him but little is heard about that, yes due to his sterling qualities he can be forgiven, but one wonders if we are listening to long held opinions or analysis of a game.

Don't mind me, just trying to make sense of the bile we're hearing.

Hahahahaha(Welcome to the club). . . . .Fans are over-biased.

A crap team performance is the perfect excuse for the usual supects to lay into their usual targets and completely ignore even shoddier performances from players who they never criticise, no matter how badly they play. I have had to defend Berbatov more often than wiping my arse in the loo this season. Even when he doesn't play, NL peops still find the time n space to criticise his absence.

That's the way we roll on Nairaland.
It's illogical, irritating and f'ucks up the chance of any sensible debate but it's always gonna be that way.
Arsenal fans will never criticise Cesc who had a mare against United. He created nothing on the night but Cesc is god so you dare not blame him.

duduspace:
You are not an Arsenal fan so this is none of your business, it is important to speak positively at all times.

So i have to be an Arsenal fan to pass ma opinion on Arsenal matters?
Seriously. . . . .How low can you sink?

I recall during the 07/08 season when we were 5 points ahead of manure and it seemed we had won the league. I recall a certain Wayne Rooney coming out to say Manure would catch up with Arsenal which they did, he never explained why he believed they would or how they ended up 5 points behind in the first instance.

Conveniently forgetting United and Arsenal were neck and neck in the months of Nov-January. . . . .
United had the ammo to eclipse Arsenal in 07/08. . . .Arsenal don't have that now as we speak.
Cesc being positive changes nothing on ground. Cesc's positivity will not resurrect Van Persie or bring David Villa to Arsenal.
Arshavin knows Arsene Wenger shoulda bought a striker this January just like many of y'all had prayed n fasted on the issue some weeks ago.
I see nothing wrong in what Andrei has said. . . . . .He's just being realistic.

If you are already defeated in your mind the way Arshavin seems to be then you have already lost even b4 you stepped on the pitch.
Compare these 2 statements and tell me who yu'd want to be beside you as a player when you file out at SB.

Even Wenger is defeated in his mind. . . . .

@ FBS,

You are chatting poppycocks. . . .

Of course, Chelski fans want all the 3 points on Sunday but Arsenal want it MORE.
Both of y'all are hungry for the points but Wenger is hungrier. . . .Remember he won't be going to Wembley this season so the EPL is the only chance he's got and he is not about to squander it.

Ibime:
See this mugu. . .if I ask you to produce £1000 now, can you produce it?

The irony!!!
I will only be a mugu if i produce £1000 to a faceless ninny like you when you ask me to produce it.

v3:
Sauron,
Don't be a backyard gunner, come clean and we'll accept you as one of us. Your posts are to good to be true

I have been a United fan since i was a toddler.
Arsenal? Nah. . . . .

duduspace:
Someone should please tell Arshavin to STFU, can't he see the difference in Cesc's statements and his? seems that bloke is getting too big for his shoes and needs taking down by a peg or two. What does he mean by saying its getting harder to believe? if he doesn't believe how exactly does he expect to win?

The TRUTH is bitter. . . . . .
Wenger shoulda bought a striker this transfer window.
I shudder to think what will happen if Bendtner cops another injury. . . .There are cheap strikers in Africa.
Flavio of Angola woulda been a wonderful addition.

No one has contributed more to the cause this season than Captain fantastic himself and he still has his feet on the ground unlike the immatured 28 year old who shoots off his mouth to belittle the team at every opportunity, can't remember that bloke saying anything to encourage his team mates for once.

What is so encouraging to say about Arsenal?
Leave the Russian assassin alone, when Cesc was crocked. . . .it was the Russian that was driving the team forward.

jalether:
TBH, losing against the big four does not count for much these days, Liverpool had a near flawless record against the big four

last season, can someone remind us what happened, yer you guessed that right, they still failed to win the EPL

This is true if you can beat the smaller teams home and away with a reckless abandon.
Arsenal are not doing that as they have already lost to Sunderland and Man City plus needless draws.

FBS:
To be frank, I'm more concerned about tonites match than Sundays.
It won't be a new thing for them arses to be out of title race early february.
Meanwhile, you are clearly underestimating the "killer" instinct JM brought along. Both teams will step on the pitch with different mind sets but that is not to say that it is a done deal for them. We need to hit hem hard and then send cold sweat down your (MU) spine.
We know that if we beat them. . .it will be very hard to stop us.

I hope you know you are yet to play @ Old Trafford and Anfield.
Beating/not beating Arsenal at this stage means nowt.
There are still many games to go. . . . . .If you open a gap of 8 points, i won't be worried at this stage.

SAF and his troops have been in this shyte before. . . . .They know what is required to stop Chelsea's juggernaut.

FBS:
That is where you are making the mistake. By thunking them again, we will open up a healthy gap on the table.
Them arses always create chances. Converting them and then defending  I, think is the key here.
Me, I, no dey boast but come Sunday. . .

Whatever happens on Sunday, Chelsea will still be at the top of the table unless you drop points tonight.
This situation creates a false belief. . . . .as long as your position is not threatened there's a tendency for the players to be complacent.

Arsenal will be out of the title race if they lose again next weekend.
I don't think a manager who hasn't won nowt in 5 seasons can afford that so he will do everything possible to win on Sunday.
They need it more than Chelsea. . . . . .There's no question about that and this is a derby game(It does not matter if you have beaten em 1000 times in the past).

HNIC:
@V3
You certainly do not know sauron too well
He's having whose back
Don't you know that it PAYS Manure for us to beat the Chavs at the bridge on Sunday.
Or you think he's now dating a Gooner chic
Sauron is just on the side which pays his team better
SIMPLE

FBS:
Story . He knows what he is doing and we have seen this before. He will do anything just to get at Chelsea.
Mind you, he will be here to remind you just how useless you are/were.

I analyse situations as it is.
Nothing to do with backing Arsenal or stabbing them.
I will be scared to face Arsenal after they got mauled at the Emirates. . . . .I don't think Wenger will be patting the backs of his players this week in their training sessions. . . .He will be cussing them so it's only natural to see a new-improved Arsenal going for the jugular next week.

Don't be surprised if Arsenal score 2 goals in the first 15 minutes next week. . . . .U heard it here FIRST.

v3:
Sauron,
For 1ce i'd say thanks for having our backs. . . we know watz at stake now & will do the best we can to bag all points

Just do what is necessary.
Weed off the flops like Denilson & Nasri and it's obvious Clichy is past it.
4-2-3-1 with Bendtner as the lone striker should worry Chelsea.

tkb417:
this field nuccas thing confuses me

Ibime is a Arrow.
Field Nucca ---- The BULL that puts his head and body in the firing line.
House Nucca--- The organiser that cleans up the remnants.

In other words, Vidic is a field nucca, Rio na house nucca.

cos Verma and Gallas are same in my opinion
both of them love to bump forward

so which of them is the field nucca now

It has nothing to do with their attacking instincts.
I also think Verma n Gallas are both field nuccas cos Vermaelen puts himself about more than Gallas these days.

Ibime:
Everytime Vermaelen goes up for a set-piece, the field nuccas left behind fail to sniff out the danger. . . eg Gallas against Everton. . .

TBF, both centre-halves go for a set-piece.
I don't know why Gallas is getting the stick here.

FBS:
You see nothing. Simply becos you smashed their arses means Chelsea will be there to make up numbers?
You think we don't need the 3 points?

Arsenal need it more. . . .

Don't kid yourself about what happened last Sunday.
Arsenal will create tonnes of chances at SB and after what happened last time, they won't miss too many.
I like the fact that they will go to SB with blood in their eyes. . . . . . . .Expect a blood bath at the Bridge synonymous to St. Valentine's day massacre.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

Ibime:
If you have good defenders like John Terry, you better believe that there was nothing Avram Grant taught him on the training ground to help him organise his defence. . .

Who taught John Terry to slip in Moscow?

Ibime:
So yes, like I've said, Wenger leaves the defenders mostly to their own devices. . . if the defenders are House nuccas (like in 2004), they will cope. . . otherwise they will crumble. . .

Is Vermaelen a house nucca or a field nucca?

FBS:
Take a stand man.
You said same before the Emirati match. Same excuse. . .same reason and they got thunked 3 -0.

It depends on the Chelsea players that turn up. . . . .
At best, Chelsea will get a DRAW otherwise. . . .I see a convincing Arsenal victory.

tkb417:
as soon as Sauron agrees to this

i'll follow up with ya

Send cash to Ibime?
Ibime of all peops? Mbaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

I might as well throw £1000 in ma heat furnace.
Ibime will run with your cash and threaten your life with his MEND thugs. . . .I don't want ma family kidnapped in Naija o.
Abeg una.

debosky:
People just like to re-write history on a whim - was it George Graham's defence that won the league with the best defensive record AND best attack in 2004? Was it 's defence that went 10 games without conceding in the CL against Real, Juventus and other big wigs?

Was it 's defence that won the FA cup in 2005?

Our current problem is very clear - the CBs are TOO ADVENTUROUS. When they go forward, the DM(s) needs to be disciplined to stay back and avoid being drawn into the action as well. Failure to do so leads to break away goals as we've been seeing.

As for the games against Stoke and Everton, the absence of Song could be blamed for that - he usually takes up the CB role when the two CBs go forward, accompanied by at least one fullback (usually the LB) to also track back.

Unfortunately, Song lost this discipline against Utd and got caught up in attacking play way too much, leaving a slow Denilson awfully exposed.

Add to that lack of discipline the sheer ineffectiveness of two of the front three - Rozzi at least tried tackling and chasing, but Arshavin and Nasri were useless at that and put even more pressure on the rest of the side.

Compare that to the pressing we got from Bendtner and RVP right from the front at the beginning of the season and the true cause of the defensive issues emerge.

While Wenger is not a defensive coach by nature, he teaches his teams to defend as a whole unit - whenever a part of that unit fails to defend, the entire team becomes vulnerable.

Debosky and cheap excuses.
What has the absence of Song gotta do with the games against Everton and Stoke?
If he didn't play on Sunday, i can guarantee you 99% of the Arsenal fans would be saying they lost because of his absence.

I knew this was going to happen when you joined the other retards saying the Lord's name in vain some weeks ago.

tkb417:
if u like count your chicks b4 they are hatched
u'll just find urself back at 32nd

I am toppling you before the end of this month!!!

tkb417:
hehehehehe
coach Jackalinho made me puke
ure crazy

Coach Jackalinho embezzled the funds released to sign players.
He paraded mediocre players throughout his stay @ Hannibal FC. . . .He womanises, binge-drinks and was heavily involved in a betting scam in Russia.
Lord Sauron couldn't stand his various atrocities and he was sacked before the board handed him over to the Russian authorities.

He is still awaiting trial @ Lubyanka Prison in Moscow.

Ibime:
Wenger has no defensive instinct. . . . they made the same mistakes against y'all that they made against Stoke and Everton. . . and same as they always make. . . . what makes you think Wenger has ever been defensively competent in his life?

I think he takes the beautiful football thingy a jot too far.
Even when they are under attack, the defenders want to pass their way out instead of clearing the ball outta danger.
Trust me, he woulda learnt a lot from what happened on Sunday. Wenger does not like losing to Man Utd.

Thank God for George Graham who left him an already packaged defence. . . . as Wenger's former defensive coach (hired by George Graham) once said "Arsene has never given me instructions to carry out defensive training with the team, nor has he ever done any himself". . . .

George Graham's team was boring though successful.
The same GAYnners didn't like his brand of football. . . .BORING BORING ARSENAL!!!

How else do you explain a manager who sees the finer points of Silvestre, Cygan, Djorou and Kolo Toure (last 3 seasons) ?

In Vermaelen, they have a very good defender.
I think their major problem is how easily exposed they get in counter-attacks.
When you have 2 strikers to mark, put 3 players on them. . . . . .When you have a lone striker to mark, then 2 defenders should be deployed.
I dunno why Wenger does 1 V 1 at the back whenever his team is further up the pitch to take corner kicks.

tkb417:
jamboree!!!
they renewed your contract cos you moved from 23rd to 13th
didnt you start gameweek 1 with everybody?

go and sleep joh

Rinus Michels joined the club when Hannibal FC was 37th in the FPL in the 3rd week of November.
He has since moved em to the 14th position after the club sacked Coach Jackalinho.

nateevs:
I don't agree. Arsenal fall aside against an organized side.
Arsenal can be prevented from scoring but they can't stop us from scoring.

Like I always say in a Chelsea-Arsenal tie, the game will be won by the team that defends better on the day.
And y'all know who.

It's a derby game.
Form flies outta the window in games like this.
Arsene Wenger knows he must cop points to stay in the title race. . . . . .Arsenal need this game more than Chelsea.
They will come to SB and win. Remember Man Utd V Liverpool at OT last season? That was after United went 11 league victories on the bounce!!!

Rinus Michels Extends Hannibal FC Contract

The 39-year-old, who signed an initial three-year deal last autumn, has now pledged to stay until 2020.

"I am delighted to be signing this new contract. My heart is with Hannibal FC and the fantastic group of players I have," Michels told SKYSPORTS
"But the vision of the owner and the board for the future of Hannibal FC is also one I want to be part of."
He added: "I am totally behind this project and their support in achieving it means Hannibal FC is the place where I will be happiest in my work.

Michels was already the highest-earning manager in the FPL with an estimated total of £15.1m this season, according to a survey by Deloitte and Forbes magazine. However, his new deal is expected to earn him around £22m a year, even before bonuses or commercial deals.
The Dutch has been rewarded for a superb first season at Hannibal FC during which his team has improved massively and recently copping the most points in the last game week.

Michel's side also reached the advanced stages in the Fantasy cup before they were knocked out a fortnight ago.
However, despite that agonising defeat, Michels returned to sign his new deal.
"This is great news for everybody concerned," said Hannibal FC Chairman Lord Sauron.
"Both the club and Rinus share a long-term vision for the future, that was clear from the moment we first met.
"We talked then about a 10-year plan for Hannibal FC and Rinus Michels wanted to be an integral part of building that.
"This deal demonstrates Rinus' commitment to Hannibal FC and also our certainty that he is the best manager to take the club into a new, exciting and successful era."

jalether:
what infuriated this argument was sauron labeling Rooney as "the best" striker at the moment

Is he one of the best strikers [/b]atm YES, Is he [b]the best [/b]striker atm NO

I will consider you a billy-goat for the rest of this month if you don't tell me any striker better than Rooney in the past 6 months.
Apart from scoring 20 league goals in January, he outscored all the strikers in the top leagues in WCQ.
What makes Drogba better than Rooney as we speak? How many times has Torres won the golden boot? Is Anelka better than Torres?

I repeat. . . . . .WAYNE ROONEY IS THE BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD AS WE SPEAK.

Ibime:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Tell it like it is.

Any Gaynner thinking that 'cos RVP was allowed to score [b]offside goals @ SB last season, Arsenal will repeat the feat is deluded.

Arsenal are our b@tches! Whether Prem, Carling Cup or FA Cup!

By Sunday, we will be 11 points ahead, locked in a 2-horse race with Manure.

I won't be that confident to play Arsenal after United exposed their folly on Sunday.
Naturally, Wenger will tweak things anti-clockwise and that defence will be tighter than a nun's fanny.
All i know is Arsenal will cop at least a point at the Bridge on Sunday.
