i believe arsenal would win at least a cup this season. we might even get 3.i route for champions league though, gunners on top
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by TheJackal1(m): 8:26pm On Apr 02, 2008
3 cups?

That will be Emirates cup, Amsterdam Cup and Wenger's village cup i guess. grin grin grin

@ Debosky n MC Omo,

Arsenal is at home and y'all are playing like the away team.
Take this game to Liverpool and follow Man Utd's foot-steps.
If u end this game with 1-1 or 2-1 then u can count Arsenal out of this year's UCL.
The away goal is PRICELESS.

@The Jackal
Missed your ass buddy grin

Gaynner's defense is wack. And their attack,even worse.As usual,they get to the Scouser's 18 and start passing the ball around like confused kids.Its so hilarious grin grin

Your name's got 'Worm' in it. Just thought Wormy sounds nicer than Worm wink grin grin

Fool's Day's over,so enough of the 24-hour syndrome,aiight? Nice lead y'all got there.Hope you can keep it.

@rasputinn
Lucky?Sure we watched the same match?
Dude,luck had absolutely nothing to do with our win.We were smoking hot,and we banged Roma without mercy! They had no response to our firepower.Rooney's goal was great,and Ronny's was totally purrfect! Our win was pure skill,and complete genius,ok?Live with it. tongue grin
By the way,Scousers are giving y'all a hard time on home soil.Seems another draw's coming up grin

Last season at the emirates for Bendtner and Eboue
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by Cassiel(f): 9:57pm On Apr 02, 2008
@4Him
Come on.How can you say a thing like that after Bendtner did a beautiful job playing the perfect host to the Scousers by helping them defend their goal? grin grin grin

Eboue try na.No be 'im fault.If you must blame,blame the entire team.They lost the midfield in the 2nd half.I don't even know where Fab went to Walcott was trying,but of course he couldn't do it alone.Bendtner was totally off today,even i was surprised.Y'all should have won,for real.So many missed chances.
Now its going to be real tough for y'all @ Anfield. Cos Liverpool will be so determined to whoop your asses grin grin

The Showdown: Rafa vs Wenger. Total bad-ass psychological battle. I-can-not-wait!

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by Witness(m): 10:55pm On Apr 02, 2008
I am really starting to become 100% convinced that Wenger simply cannot win the champions league,

1. Eboue is simply not good enough for a team like Arsenal, the truth is that he's not good enough even for the bench if the truth be told

2. The team needs another playmaker, so that Hleb gets competition for his place, and stop being inconsistent

3. Walcott still too one dimensional

4. Toure or Gallas has to be dropped to save Arsenal's defense, Dirk Kuyt's goal should not have been possible on a normal day,

5. Arsene Wenger should really sell rosicky and Van Persie, they are too injury prone , its almost like they are not in the team for goodness sake, and really Van Persie is not really that good in my opinion, i rate him to be not better than Robben for goodness sake.

6. Wenger really has to stop behaving like an Economist and for goodness sake buy quality players and sell players like gilberto, Eboue and co

7. I am suspicious that Bendtner might have intentionally tried to score himself instead of letting the ball go into the net,

8. Bendtner is certainly not yet good enough for first team action.

9. For goodness sake that Referee really needs to be suspended because that was obviously a penalty for goodness sake, Dirk Kuyt did not touch the ball until after having pulled down Hleb.

One Dirk Kuyt. . . . . There is only one Dirk Kuyt! Don't blame me,blame Dirk Kuyt.What a useless team you have at the Emirates,can't win a trophy even if their life depended on it.

Ok,the Champions League is a cup competition,that is why you guys are underperforming,what about the EPL?Is that one now a cup competition too?Last time I checked,you were hugging 3rd place. grin

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by debosky(m): 12:36am On Apr 03, 2008
Didn't get to watch the match. . .but accounts have it that we played well.

Another bad refereeing decision leaves a bad taste in the mouth though. . .although we shouldn't rely on officials to cut us breaks - we should have taken the other chances.

1-1 to Anfield? I remember the same doomsday responses from a few people when we went to Milan with a draw. Granted this is a different kettle of fish, but I still think we are much better than this Liverpool side and will beat them at Anfield. cool

What the heck happened with the Bendtner chance? angry I really need so see some highlights.

Cup competitions are another thing altogether - We will either win the Anfield game outright or it will end 1-1 go into penalties and we'll win. Quote me on that cool

@ Witness

cool down, I made similar observations a few days back - we know Eboue is not good enough, but we need to use all the bodies we have for the series of games coming up. RVP's removal was precautionary, he may miss the league game but will play in the return leg.

I don't think Walcott is too one dimensional, he is improving in leaps and bounds and as he gets more chances, he WILL get better with the end product.

All in all it wasn't a bad night. . .could've been better, but still a whole deal to play for. Best news of all Chelski's defeat grin grin All the Bollocks by Anelka and co got them nowhere, heck 'bace even did them a favor by dashing them that away goal. . . .I think Chelski is half way out already, I don't see them stopping this side from scoring at least one at SB.

another draw but i am sure we can win at Anfield.

Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by Cassiel(f): 3:26am On Apr 03, 2008
Goood morning gaynners grin. Hope y'all had refreshing nightmares after yesterday's lovely draw wink grin Just thought to drop by and serve the latest soccer info.


WENGER: ''We should have won''

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could not hide his disappointment after drawing with Liverpool in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

The Gunners deservedly went ahead after 23 minutes through Emmanuel Adebayor, but they could not hold as Dirk Kuyt scrambled home an equaliser just moments later.

Arsenal were the better side throughout but they could not find a way through which left Wenger frustrated.

Frustrated

"It is difficult to understand grin as we had a lot of possession and a lot of chances and it is very difficult to accept that we didn't win the game," Wenger told Sky Sports.

Wenger was also less than amused about his side being denied what appeared a blatant penalty in the second-half when Kuyt looked to pull Alexander Hleb to the floor.

"We were unlucky too, when they equalised I felt we were unlucky and were unlucky on the big decision of the referee on the penalty and in a game like that it is difficult to take it but we have to swallow it.

"That is what is most disappointing because sometimes the referee is in a bad position, but he was five yards away from Kuyt and in fairness it was a 100 per cent penalty. cry

"We could have done better because we were caught on the break when we were 1-0 up, but Steven Gerrard showed a touch of class and you can always do better when you concede a goal."

Hope

Arsenal now meet Liverpool again on Saturday in the Premier League before the return leg of their Champions League clash at Anfield next week.

"What is important is that we win the next one at the Emitrates on Saturday and then find the resources to win at Anfield and we can do that," he said.

"We want to win the game on Saturday because, of course, the Championship is at stake and that will help us to get the result at Anfield."

Robin van Persie was again forced off with injury and Wenger admits he is a doubt for their next two games against Liverpool

"It doesn't look too bad but we took him off for a precaution but I still think he will be short for next game and possibly the one after," he added.

Oh no! Not again cry Na who swear for gunners this year? Confess na na before i break ya head grin grin

Special shout-out to Kit wink

Have a wonderful day people.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by debosky(m): 3:43am On Apr 03, 2008
RVP is being protected. . .AW always talks about players being short for games and then throws them on unexpectedly.

Its really sad he has picked up an injury again, but it isn't going to be decisive.

Walcott may finally have a chance to play as a striker if AW does less tinkering.

I am not too saddened by the result, it keeps things interesting - Obviously we are missing Sagna in the defence and even in attack.

@ cassiel

you haven't said anything new, we will still hear these stories till the tie is over and we move into the semis cool

Gunner 1915 cool grin
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by topeorekoy(m): 8:16am On Apr 03, 2008
a draw again? when will we stop drawing? anyway, its not a bad result. heard people saying we r doomed, can u remember what happened between us and milan? they drew here and we beat them at the san siro.

the squad

arsenal wenger shld please next season buy more players and not 3k players, we just don't have options on our team. what if fab4 gets injured who'll replace him? flamini-who'll replace him?  gone r the days that our bench was oozing with class, we had pires, wiltord, kanu, henry, viera, bergkamp, freddie, edu in our team. there was a  pool to choose from

wenger shld never play eboue in that position again, he was clueless all night
a quality back up shld be bought for hleb, the guy just can't shoot
quality wingers shld be bought
and finally, please we need a bully poacher

thats why i fell in love with drogba, he runs all day and he will still score. ade aint quality

the penalty

just heard on radio that the ref is from a town 5 miles away from dirk kyut's town (could it be that he is sentimental)


why do most teams come to the emirates and pack so many players behind the ball and hope to hit on a counter? i think wenger shld look for an anti-dote for that kind of play.

we r gamed for the return leg at the anfield, what will help us is just to win this weekend at the emirates
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by HNIC(m): 8:28am On Apr 03, 2008
@ Debosky

We heard all theese tauntings from the mancs when we were held 0-0 by AC Milan.What happenned after? tongue tongue
I am not bothered at all, Luck was just on the 'pool's side and they know it.
We were outstanding in the 2nd half especially.
Hope Rvp bounces back fast though and sure we missed Sagna(Toure is being wasted at right back).
The tackle on Hleb by Kuyt was an obvious penalty and I just couldn't understand what Bendtner was doing on the goal line
Its 1-1, game on, We look ffwd to saturday, before thinking of Tuesday,
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by rasputinn(m): 8:40am On Apr 03, 2008
@ chacal and all those that prayed (silently or aloud) for liverfluke to win
sorry cry cry cry
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by HNIC(m): 8:47am On Apr 03, 2008
@ tope

That's the only way they can play THE ARSENAL.
If you decide to play footie with us, the way it should be played, you will certainly be beaten black and blue.
Harry Redknapp admited to that, when he played 10 men behind the ball at Fratton park in December.
Sometimes it works for them, like it did for Liverpool yesterday and sometimes,it doesn't.
I agree with you, Eboue and Diaby have both been let downs this season,though not being played in their natural positions, it's still not an excuse.
When will Rosicky be back?
Theo seems to have stepped up his game(I wonder why anyone will criticise his play yesterday)
Did u see that blinder of a shot ,he took from outside the box when all of the 'pool defenders were expecting him to pass? and when he stole in behind the 'pool defence to cross the ball, just for Eboue to mis-kick in front of goal for the upteenth time
We'll get better.
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by rasputinn(m): 8:50am On Apr 03, 2008
Now whatever happened to killing off a game
The equaliser by liverfluke was just a disaster waiting to happen,what with the lackadaisical way the Gunners played immediately after that we scored
Yea yea,there were some spirited attempts our players to increase the tally after the equaliser but why make things difficult and complicated when you could have made it so easy?
Pray someone  tell me,what was Bendtner doing on the touchline of liverfluke?
My all-season dissapointment with Eboue's performance just switched gear in a geometric progression.
If I had my way,he would have a permanent position;ON THE BENCH
Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only (Old) by HNIC(m): 9:02am On Apr 03, 2008
@ Rasputinn
If I had my way,Eboue would be transfer-listed.
From being one of the best right-backs in the world in 2005/2006 season to being one of the worst players to put on an Arsenal shirt in recent times.He can't run anymore, can't shoot,doesn't defend,tries to cheat, always complaining, I really can't explain how come he's turned out horrible so quickly
Just my thoughts
