porto 3-1 fernebache

this group would be interesting

Utd follow us draw

You pple cant even learn from CHELSEA. Up blues

Carry ur yeye blues chant commot for here slowpoke

Glad we scored, i ca't believe ade made a mess of it from close range, thank u gallas

What is it with these nights in eastern europe?
We should have been 3 goals up in the first half and we blew it.
For AW.
Why bring on Bendtner(who is as quick as an Ajegunle snail)and remove Song
who had been above average in defensive midfield?
We rode our luck tonight and we were lucky to escape with a draw.
(At a point, I had given up)
Let's hope we will do better next time around.
Lastly,Why was RVP angry at being substituted?
I thought he stayed too long on the pitch.
I am just thinking what could have happened if Vela had those chances!!!!!!!!!!

God punish that referee ooh!! how could he have blown that for a penalty?Our first-half misses came to bite us again the team was rather flat footed today i hope they have learnt how to take their chances once and for all,Walcott did a good job by driving that killa cross that Adebayor would have missed from 3 yards if not for Gallas's intervention
That Bendtner na waste of space hmm i can only imagine how difficult our game at Fenerbache will be ohh well on to Bolton and only all three points will do

HNIC:

I just saw the highlights. . . . . Arsenal didn't play badly.
The only question is, what was Gallas doing in the centre forward position?
Walcott's delivery into the box was PEACH. . . . . He made it easy for Gallas/Adebayor to bundle the ball in.
Good game but Adebayor, Van Persie and Fab4 should be more clinical.

ARSE 4 LIFEEEE Grizz nd Amodu it will b better 4 all nairalanders if u guys stop poknosing nd get back 2 ur teams,

what did I say about our defending?

Kiev were poor, if not they should have won that game.

They had 2 against 1 and could not score.

Our defence looks all at sea too many times.

That goal by kiev came from sloppy play by Gallas, missing a ball entirely.

I think we need more options in defence.

Adebayor was wasteful again today, V.persie was equally guilty.

I hope they improve very soon.

Crizzz
we saw   . .na fight?

Loyiks

A40
i  give up on refs jo
thank God for Gallas we did it again
It was scary really really scary .
maybe we wrote them off . but Kyiv had a good game
We didnt take the chances we had and we paid for it .
anyway we have an away goal . let them come to emirates . .
we are waiting

*away goal*
That counts for nothing in the group stages.

we were lucky to have got a draw. The whole team was just average today. We have got an important away point. At least we are better than those who got a draw at home, I am not going to mention names but you know them abi ?

@yommys01
Lol

That ref is a bloodclot we need to Bleep Porto up when they come to the Emirates no long thing

When is Eduardo returning?
Eduardo please come back. Our season will start from where it stopped last season

Oga V
Yeah but its better than losing na  
I know only points count
but it was a relief that we levelled than we had lost

Eduardo will be back by November only God knows when Rosicky will be back we have really missed that guy

Mukina, very true. I was so relieved as well.

A40, how can we miss someone that has never really been there? Rosicky is really so far a waste of money.

I dont feel we played too badly though our play was disjointed most times.At times it felt like the players acted restricted.I guess they already had a mindset to play out for a draw, giving AW's formation and the fact that he had been harping all week long about it being a good result.

What does bother me is ade's incredible nack for missing clear cut chances .for someone who has spent the best part of 7-8years doing one particular thing (play the striking role) one would think he ought to have gotten the plot by now.cool he does score loads at times,but my worry's that this penchant of his might hurt us real bad someday.imagine he even missed the goal from all of 3yards but for gallas!

RVP also needs to get his act together.besides Vela should be given a more consistent run in the team.I am so impressed with denilson, the boy's growing in stature and positional awareness with each passing game.I have a feeling he could end up one of arsenal's greats some day.flamini who?

Yesterday`s rating by the Sun

Manuel Almunia 6

Alexandre Song 5
Denilson 6
Robin van Persie 7
Emmanuel Adebayor 6

SUBS: Bendtner (Song) 6, Eboue (Sagna) 6, Vela (Van Persie) 6. Subs not used: Fabianski, Ramsey, Wilshere, Djourou.

I agree with a poster here, Eboue is really becoming impressive somewhat

Adebayor is such a case, how did he not score that sitter

RVP was ok 4 me, his link up play was impressive, Cesc, well, its a good thing we're still progressing even when he's not playing too well, when he ups his game, I want 2 believe we'll be more explosive

Defence remains my worry.

mystikal:

Defence remains my worry.

I agree with you.Our defence is not yet a compact unit,i don`t know if we need to buy or work on what we have.

@Raimond
Bendtner a giraffe i cant stop laughing una no go kill person but i wonder why Arsene is not unleashing Vela yet he is more of a goal threat than Bendtner i wasnt too impressed by the boys last night well besides Walcott but i am just glad we didnt lose

@Vieira
We do need Rosicky in that team he is a world-class player when he is fit just like RVP

A-40:

You feel me A-40, Carlos Vela is the way forward,he needs a lot more playing time than he is getting,so his confidence-level can grow.The guy is quite sharp in front of goal.In the absence of Eduardo,Vela can fill in for him.Bendtner`s  ball control is so pathetic.If Vela gets half the chances Bendtner gets,i can bet you he`ll convert 98% of them.
I so much beleive in that guy.Can u imagine the sitter Fabregas dashed the keeper,Vela would have buried it with his left foot.

If anyone is in doubt,watch the sheffield game on tuesday,where i beleive he`ll have a full game.

Some friends were arguing that Bendtner has been in the scheme of things longer than Vela,and as such understands the team better,but i totally and completely disagree.It is not about how long one has been in the team,but one that can get the job done.

Yeah we need Rozzi back and soon too,but if my eyes are not deceiving me and i see Eboue improving the way he is doing, and polishes up his last ball,Rozzi will really need to fight his way back to the team.

@Raimond
I was convinced on Vela since pre-season i was expecting Arsene to throw him in the scheme of things more often than he does well the Carling Cup is starting pretty soon and hopefully Vela would leave Wenger no choice but to play him ahead of Bendtner because he is ice-cold in front of goal

Eboue might be having a good run but player pass player.Rozzi possesses technique that Eboue can only dream of a fully fit Rosicky will definitely start in any Arsene line-up they don't call him the Little Mozart for nothing

A-40:

Rozzi is masterclass,i`ll concede to that anytime. Anyhow sha,the competition is good for the team,if all the players can stay fit,means we`ll have some healthy replacements. _{Meeen our strikers need to start delivering-seriously and can someone please tell Toure to remove that hair,so he can head the ball better !!!}

@Raimond
Lol on Toure i also hope he gets his shit together when we play Wigan because his nemesis Zaki is with them now.What we need more than anything else this season is a good bench

Zaki seems to be doing quite well already,but i don`t see him doing that to Toure anymore.<sub>premiership no be nations` cup:i hope  for his sake the fear of Zaki is not the beginning of wisdom</sub>

It is TAPPING.
Arsene Wenger and Kolo Toure shoulda contacted Frank Rijkaard and Barca before speaking to Yaya Toure.
I can't believe Wenger flirted with Yaya. . . . Scolari also confessed Wenger wanted Solomon Kalou.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1703592.ece

Kiev were too aggressive last night, i must confess.

@Raimond
Thot I was the only one who didn't dig Toure's Jerry Okorodudu-like  tresses.

One is getting rather used to Ade's squandering these days. Can I sincerely say I hope he improves his conversion rate? Because he didn't start playing yesterday. In any case, I keep reminding meself that he does score vital goals and that he improved last season over the season before that.
Even the great Henry had times when peeps said he was wasteful.

Was any gunner aware Wenger's dad, Alphonse Wenger, passed on during the week?

they did a good work shielding it from the press.

Just pept _{(my past tense for peep)} at the chelsea forum,phew,i almost suffocated from boredom.

Wenger`s father,you mean he still had a father?

Anyways Papa Wenger Rest In Peace.One candle for you!!!
