Rubbish wishful thinking

If we r arses,(anal) then u are shiiiiiiiit (manure)
u sure need us to pass thru

@jackal

you know there are sometimes when everything goes against a team and in the end they come out tops,

i know you don't want arsenal to win, i know you dont like arsenal fans here cos of the noise they make,

i know barca has a bigger chance to win than we do, but those players can stand up to the occassion,

ok, jackal, what were u thinking last season when milan were up 3-0 in instanbul against liverpoool

if they can step up their game, thats all,

To be frank,
I thought Liverpool will go on and conceed 6 goals.
That was the greatest come-back i have ever seen in Football.
U r kinda right but that kind of luck comes when u dont make noise about it prior the match.

90% gunners r all expecting that kinda situation to happen again.
That kinda luck is hard to get.
Arsenal should prepare well and give Barcelona a big fight.
I dont wanna see a lack-lustre Final like Madrid V Valencia(UCL 2000)

@jackl
thats more like it man, being objective
Lets all hope for a good fight n a fantastic high tempo game

Whoever plays better comes out tops
And we r hoping to play better and win
simple!

Cheers skinny!

@Kolawole

That FA cup final was not won by luck.

While there can be luck in some matches it is not the case of the final.
The reason is simply that the defence and esp lehsman were on fire and Man U did not have the necessary ammuinition to breech our goal.

Are you saying that Lehsman made the saves by luck?

or was there any incident that was down to luck and caused thier defeat?

Tell where the luck is?

@ Vieira,
Even Patrick Vieira said Arsenal nicked the cup by sheer luck in the post-match comments.
Can u remember how many times Man United struck the post?
Arsenal won that match by luck.
If the match had ended 5-0 United. No Arsenal fan would have complained.

I can show u the stats if u insist.
Arsenal's 1st and only shot on goal came as a result of a Van Persie's free-kick in the 2nd-half of the extra-time.

Jackal, how many times did they hit the post?

If a keeper saves a ball onto the bar, it is good goal keeping and not luck.

If a striker has the net at his mercy and he hits the bar instead then it is bad shooting and not luck.

No comments.
U and I know Arsenal did not deserve that FA cup but thatz football.
Sometimes u play well and get nuthing and sometimes u don't play at all and get something.
It reminds me of UCL final in May 1999, Man Utd V Bayern Munich.
United nicked the cup and was down to pure luck.
Bayern was the better team for 90 mins until they lost their head in the added minutes.

I admit as an Arsenal fan that most of our team that day were very lacklustre. BUT:

Jackal, there are two facts about football;

One it's a team game

Two it is not over till the whistle is blown.

If in a Team only 2 people play well but play so well as to make their team defeat the other team, then it is still a win and calling it luck would be a disservice to those players who performed out of their skin.

Plus the Munich game was not luck. As professionls Bayern should know a game is never over till the whistle goes, Man U knew this and kept on going and in the end I think got the rewards for their professionalism.

To me there is no point playing well for 85 minutes if in the last 5 minutes you play so badly as to lose the game.

Imagine if it was Man U that was 1- 0 up at around 86 minutes and they then threw it away in the last 5 minutes, I bet you will be furious.

Well said Vieirra. Tell them.

Hmmm,

@ Vieira,
I dont agree with cha.
Bayern Munich worked their socks off and United was extremely lucky to have pulled that victory off.
It was a daylight grab n smash kinda robbery.
2 dead-ball situations(corner-kicks) resulted in a goal in the 92nd and 93rd minute.

I have to say there's an element of luck in football.
We have seen teams stealing victories outta the jaws of defeat out of nuthing.
Tell me son,how wld u describe Arsenal's loss to Liverpool in the FA cup final of 2001?

That is a good example and at the time I said it then, it is no use attacking all day if you do not score.

We had many oppourtunities and did not convert any and Liverpool had one and Owen scored.

To me that means we were not clinical enough and honestly we still have that problem today, we overplay a lot when a more direct approach is needed.

You will see Henry and co in the box doing fancy flicks and complex passes when they should just tear the net and sometimes we get punished for it.
I trust Hasselbaink, as soon as he see clear road, he will thunder that yeye ball.

See that silly penalty that pires and Henry tried to take at Highbury against Man City, perfect example of overdo.

Just one point behind Tottenham?
People! we are having what rightly belong to us.
Pires and LUnghberg -made us extremely proud.
I prat toddlers lose in their next match as we score.
Good luck gunners.

@vieira
i agree with u, serious over do

Somtimes they gotta learn that its goals that count man

@pricci
i hate to rely on someones misfortune to win ma place
we shud've sealed that fourth place long ago
now we have to pray 4 spurs to draw which is bad, but thats life/sport

And wat a dillema it will be 4 them if we get that 4th place
they've worked soooooo hard to get there

But thats football, somtimes monkey go work, baboon go chop

@ Viera,
Dont blame the gunners for that cheeky penalty.
It was a time when fans were complaining the Premiership was getting too boring.
Arsenal's players wanted to add some spice and they were leading 1-0 so why not do s'thing cheeky?
Heard Cryuff had tried the stunts before and it is allowed in football.

Secondly, The match against liverpool was just pure luck.
Can u remember a liverpool defender handling Henry's goal-bound shot?
Is that hard-work on the part of Liverpool or just luck

Can u also remember Man Utd Vs Tottenham last season?
Carroll's blunder?
Was that hard-work? or just luck on United's part?

Pls do the math. There's luck in football.

@everyone

i personally don't believe in luck, i believe everything that has happened was supposed to happen, it was destined to happen, it was in the script that it was to happen,

so when ppl say they are fortunate, or lucky, it was supposed to happen, they may term it as luck, but it is fate,

wat happened in 99 between bayern and manutd was fate, bayern were destined to lose that game, and everything that happened is not coincidence, it was meant to happen, we cannot decide our fate,

you may get everything right but you cannot just score,

ok look at the qualifiers for 2002 world cup, the playoff between holland and ireland, did u see that game, if not for shay given and the woodwork holland would have been in the world cup, everyone was on the defensive because holland wanted to kill ireland, wat would u call that, luck? NO, i think its fate,

Huc, I did not say there is not luck in some games but people will also call it luck when it should be called good defending or poor striking.

But I must agree that Totenham v Man U game was luck or more to the point bad referreeing and blatant cheating by Carroll.

But if a man cheats and gets away with it can it be called luck?

Some people are master's at cheating and getting away with it, just ask Maradona

@ Skintite
It took me some time to work out that you are female.because of that I will be man enough not to make fun of your stupidity or your infantile rants.It is natural with Arsenal fans to be mentally compromised.Maybe that comes with years of dissappointments which breeds lunacy.

@4play

u call insulting pple man enuf?
am disgusted n actually feel sorry for u
But u know wat, i dont care wat u think

Which makes u the stupid one
just clear outta ma way man!

Learn from real men!
from now, id pretend u dont exist on this forum
Peace

Skintite
Pretend he does not exist.
That man 4 play introduced himself here with vulgar terms, so dont bother.

4 play!
Skintite is not to be tormented by your type. What is it with you.? Just respect women here. biko!
Just because your team was humiliated you wont let us breathe?

Isn't it interesting that all the women on this thread are Arsenal fans?We all know that women know next to nothing about football, perhaps that is why they all support Arsenal.
Their views will be best appreciated if they were posting on a thread that dealt with menstruation,haemorrohoids,vaginal douching or whatever issues women are experts in.Just leave the football sections to real men.Skintite and Priscilla take note.
As for those "men'' who call themselves Arsenal fans, I suggest you all go and have a sex change because you are in the wrong gender.
Arsenal remain 20 points behind Man Utd in the league and yet I have to read crap questioning Man Utd's superiority.When will you folks ever learn? 

P.S-Skintite should not take my earlier post personally.

Just listen to yourself.
Your talk just matches your  brains.
Let me warn you that next time you insult me!  I can't say it because am very much annoyed now &  don't want to say anything out of anger.
Which sort of man are you? you surprise me. One missile for the bloody civ will be enough.
Fall out on this  thread , its an order!Dont wait for my manouvres because you don't know how I ll react to effective enemy pockets fire like you. You better take cover?/ camouflage as per the ground situation because you have no live lethal ammo. Try me next time! I will mount mortar and the rest--


Jackal,Hucarson,Jargene!People! warn this your new fanooo!The dude with no respect for women.
I have said my own and don't blame me when am pushed to the wall as you will all cover your eyes from my tear gas cannisters. This is unbelievable!

Akolawole!
Who deleted that subject about use of vulgars? 4 play has not read he is the first on the list of shame.

With that un mandated trend on this thread I better watch my football and stop all this nonsense with sick people. I don't want to lose my integrity because of some indisciplined fans.

Bye bye my fellow good Nairalanders till next time. I was happy being with you for all that time

Bon voyage!

@Priscilla

P.S- My above posting is without prejudice of my opinion of Arsenal as a crap club and Arsenal fans as a bunch of wankers
