eboue Verm gallas clichy
Diaby Song Fab
Rosicky Robin Arshavin
Arsene Wenger celebrated his 13th year at the club and secured his place as the longest serving modern day manager of Arsenal football club.
Could he deliver a win on a unseasonably warm autumn evening? Well, he certainly delivered an exciting starting line up capable of one. Diaby retained his place alongside Song and Fab in the midfield. Rosicky took his place in a 3 prong attack that made me a bit damp…
Arshavin must have read the comments because he looked like a man with intent to destroy tongiht.
First time the Olympicos (<- Didn’t it used to be spelt with a ‘k’?) keeper was called into action was to deal with a cross. The former Greek Euro Cup winner looked like he’d come down with a bout of HIV since we last saw him.
The first decent shot came from Arshavin. Cesc played a superb cross field ball to Clichy, who controlled it… powered into the box, laid it off to Arsh who tested the keeper low to his right only to be denied.
Arsenal were playing some super football.
The next chance came after RvP played a simple ball to Arshavin on the edge of the box, the Russian played it first time to Cesc who controlled then half volleyed it onto the bar… the ball came back out to Rosicky who tested the keeper again… but Arsenal were denied!
Arshavin went close again when he found himself in the box with a defender in front of him, he took a touch, dragged it right and poked a shot low in one fail swoop, only for our afflicted keeper to save again.
The first freekick on the edge of the box had Cesc and Robin over it. Rosicky edged in like he wanted a piece, but Cesc took over and buried it into the wall. Very poor.
Fabregas looked like a different player this evening… the provider was being provided with all sorts of chances from RvP, Rosicky and Arshavin. It was a joy to watch… the only thing missing? A finish…
Song was playing very well, mopping up like a dinner lady on speed. He played some nice passes and kept things ticking over much better than he did against Fulham.
The Greeks did manage to fashion a chance when they looped a ball over Clichy’s head and one of their player nipped in at the back stick to head straight into the hands of the Don.
Mannone made a superb save early into the first half, clamouring back to fish out a well aimed header. Arsenal were in danger of being sucker punched if they didn’t score soon.
Robin went close up the other end with a fierce shot on goal… he followed through on the defender when attempting to be first to the rebound. He received a yellow for his troubles.
Eboue played well; his final ball acceptable for a right back… not acceptable for a right midfielder. He has a favoured position, play him there Arsene… he looks good enough to displace Sagna at the moment.
Arsenal were huffing and puffing… but could they blow down the Greek defence and nick a win? Well…
Fabregas lethargically ran forward, released Eduardo who cut it back superbly for Robin to bury home!
Fantastic!
We weren’t finished though… Fabregas slid a ball across the box, Arshavin latched on, possibly thinking he was offside, he flicked it in Kanu-esque (The one against Boro’ in his first season). No more than we deserved!
Happy days!
Mannone: Deputised like a little clean sheet dream boat. He pulled off a superb save from a corner and dealt with his kicking duties very well. Another clean sheet to add to his improving CV. 7
Clichy: A bit of a mixed bag for Clichy. He slipped over a few times and nearly let the Greeks in, but overall, he was in control today. 7
Vermaelen: Super performance from the Belgian. He got forward for our set plays and marshalled the back line very well. 7.5
Gallas: Again, some very good tackles and some good passing tonight. The defence had little to do, but they controlled the back line well. 7.5
Eboue: A very strong performance at right back. He linked up superbly with the attack and with a little bit more concentration with his final ball, he’d be displacing Sagna for sure. 8
Song: I thought Song had a very good game today. He sat back and let the big boys get on with the attacking play. He was goal side when teams broke tonight and his passing was pretty solid. He had a few hairy moments where he fell over or gave the ball away dangerously… but overall, a much better performance than the one I saw at Fulham. 7.5
Diaby: A better performance than he’s been giving us lately. He still doesn’t get the ball out from under his feet quick enough and he’s often guilty of sloppy simple passes… however, we take each game as it comes and we judge today’s game as an improvement. 6.5
Rosicky: A very good first half performance. What we’ve missed sometimes in midfield is a player who is diciplined enough to play the simple ball when nothing else is on. Rosicky held the ball up nicely and his turn of pace was very impressive for a player whose been out for so long. Fell away a touch in second half, but let’s be honest… he’s still adjusting to being able to stand up! 7
Arshavin: Does he care about becoming the best? Did the 10 or so blinding games he had last season go to his head? Well, tonight it looked like he’d taken stock of his play this year… maybe read Le Grove and the comments, and pulled his socks up to deliver a scintillating display! He was all over the park, at the centre of most of our play, chasing lost causes… demonstrating his amazing ball control and skill. The latter was epitomised with his cheeky back heeled goal! It may have been offside, but who cares… we were owed that goal! 9
Cesc: A battling performance from someone whose looked off his game. He still looks like he’s not enjoying his game, but he was a lot more involved today. Surround great players with great players and you get great performances. 2 assists finished off a night where my only complaint would be his finishing. He did hit the bar though and he hit the target a few times… so not that bad really! 8.5
Robin: People were complaining about RvP starting, saying he lacks the finishing ability etc… I wasn’t one of those people. He is top class. He was the most creative player in the Premiership last year and he banged in 20 goals in total. He is a very good player and I think he offers us more than Eduardo does at the moment as he is a more complete player. Robin played very well tonight, linking in nicely with the front player, going close on a few occasions. His just desserts arrived when he got his goal late on to give us the victory. 8
Conclusion:
So what did we learn tonight Grovers? Well, we learnt that great players feed off great players. Tonight it looked like our front 5 were competing with each other to see who could be the most skilful and ingenious (They should ask best finisher to that list!). That was great to see… and it’s how it should be at a club like Arsenal.
There are still big question marks over our ability to concentrate till the end and I still wonder if we have the personnel to keep clean sheets against the real quality teams in Europe… but tonight is a good start and I’m going to enjoy the victory and winning beautiful, but making it a little bit painful along the way!
I’m heading into Paris today, if anyone would like me to pick up some arrogance or rudeness for them, be sure to let me know in the comments!
Adios… sorry, I mean au revoir!
P.S. Sorry if I haven’t got back to you on the e-mails of late, I’ve been away from my PC a lot. I’ll catch up on Friday!
do them blind girls like the feel of it then pedro
totally agree, Pedro. but i think Wenger has more experience than either of us at working with youngsters and judging their potential. so that’s the issue. is he wrong, blind or are we?
i less hopeful about Denilson than i was, but i’ll give him another year…
Pedro and that is the point, there’s a difference between saying ‘I don’t think Song will ever be a great’ and ‘Song is shit’… The second statement disregards his performances as well as his improvements…
With that i’m off for a bit…
Song is shit.
This is the problem. Giving players who arent good enough (now) years in the first team waiting for them to show their worth. Its costing is in the long run. Just 1 more year adds up ffs and eventually its 4 years later and we have no trophy.
errr.. a fine reference
SONG IS UTTER SHIT
CSKA vs Besiktas is just kicking off on shitanta for those who care.
i dont care im sitting here waiting for home time and im going gym to Punch the shit out of the bag after a full day of plebs its all i care about now
SO wierd. The stadium looks empty but there is a decent noise…hmmmmm
He was wrong with Big Phil MOW… he isnt’ always right!
for my opinion on diaby has not changed he cant play deep does have the work rate no the passing range play deep role i would much rather see rambo or nnasri in that position,i alot of people will say that nasri is play maker and should play much further up the pitch but with the amount of play makers and wingers we already have and the fact we are short central or dm it something worth considering he has played there a few times and when he did he looked goob but in 433 formation not to replace song at all,he has the work rate and he play in free role and link up with fab,same for rambo, as for the attacking options there is no shortege and i think wenger has done a good job rotating and keeping players fresh
Im gonna hit the gym and work on my guns!
Thats a deep deep burn.
you have fun Gambon
1-0 CSKA. Beautiful goal from Dzagoev
stu i told you i dont care
Well i dont care that you dont care!!
he’s been wrong with a few centre halves. stepanovs, cygan, maybe more…
having said that Big Phil is better than those two, and has more potential.
problem is Wenger rarely chooses kids with mental strength. a lot of them seem quite fragile. Cesc maybe not, but we don’t have many bad assess out there…
Even Henry and Vieira were capable of choking when it really counted. maybe it’s French thing…
im gone see ya later normal dudes, bollocks to the rest of ya
stu
that is true of some players not being good enough,players like diaby and delinson but i also i feel its more of lack experience has much more of a factor that anything
Well, United are after Jovetic if reports are to be believed.
CSKA winning 1-0 thanks to a stunning strike from “the next Arshavin”- Dzagoev
Where is everyone gone ffs.
oh Pat…it was a wierd shit wasnt it. Great goal tho. Like a cross at goal from the middle of the pitch.
*shot..not shit.
fuck me, Song is shit, Song is OK – whatever…
this is the only option we have got at the moment and he is definitely doing his job, keeping it simple and puttin some effort in it…
he may not be the ultimate fire breathing DM I was crying out for the whole summer, but he does his best, improvement made within the last 8 months is massive and has no motivation issues despite being the only Prem quality DMish player we have available at the moment…
Yep Suga3 .. the players are not going to change.. we just have to pray that they get better.
i think fans need to remember that sons is only 21 and wont reach is prime for at least another 3-4 years, and he is doing a solid job
I reckon we should get behind Song, he really took all last season’s criticism well and reacted by improving, this cannot be bad, right?
Its good that he is improving but his major flaws are lack of pace and positioning. He cant improve on his pace so he should really just stay in front of the defence.
I fully agree that he should rotate with another DM, playing mostly against bottom 10 and being a sub against ‘bigger’ teams
we should get someone quality around 26-27 y.o., methinks…
ideas?
2-0 Krasic. Awful keeper mistake.
SUGA, im sure there are a few more than capable 27year old DMs out there. Its just a matter of getting them. Unfortunately its unlikely Wenger will fo for someone like that who isnt world class.
in an ideal world song would be on the bench and top class player would play in front of him someone 24-25 at least but what happend is for what ever reason we lost 3 dm in 1 season and now wenger is in situation were is massive drout in top dm now so he has go with what he has to make best of it
which brings us to another issue: you have to pay some good money, by which I mean something in the region of £20M, and we all know AW wil never spend that much on a player, unless told to do so by the owner of the club…
yep, the owner, not a bunch of penny pinching property developers…
leon
the ‘whatever reason’ is AW being plain dumb for letting all of them go…
it is really sad that we all suffer due to our managers inept man management, and we have to see true legends go and be replaced by other ‘legends’ like Silvestre…
If i could have one player back it would be Flamini.
Mannone
Sagna Gallas Verm Clichy
Cesc Flamini Rosicky
RVP Eduardo Arshavin
Cesc more withdrawn than Rosicky, much like Xavi.
in my opinion its worth the money to get top class player 25-27 if evon you have to pay out 20 mill but firstly i think there yaya toure,del a red from real mardrid ,essian i realy think any other top class players in that position plus the 50% tax comming in is huge put off
Hey guys would be ok with getting Nigel ReoCoker for DM to rotate with Song and Denilson?
Is Reo- Coker good?
no he isn’t, Ja – he is Villa/WHU quality, not better than what we already have…
De la red? You mean the guy with serious career threatening heart problems. I think we should consider someone else….maybe.
i know wenger with the amount of wingers and play makers i think wenger will try mold nasri into dm player,wenger has not ruled it out and nasri has stated he would not mind playing anywere,in an ideal world i love to see nasri with tricks further up the pitch but i just cant see wenger foking out 20-25 mill on 1 player
Yup…Reo-coker is shite imo. Bundle of energy but not much else.
Diaby is NOT average
He is below average.
song is to thick to make it as a top d.m
Nasri will not make it as DM, leon – waste of talent, another square peg…
Nasri could play in denilson’s position.If at this point song gets injured Ramsey is the only other candidate who could play there.Surely diaby can’t be used as a DM
I am sick of Wenger’s experimentation,with players and strategies
Eboue-Once voted as the best right back in Europe,now doesnt know where he is playing
Diaby-Once a great talent,Wenger played him in the left wing,from where he couldnt make a proper cross with his left foot.
Nasri-explosive attacking potential.Another talent to be wasted in the defence,if he is gonna play as a DM.
Denilson-Wasted in the DM position.
FFS,play them in their natural positions,than tinkering our team according to your wild fantasies,Mr Wenger.
Jaguar where do you think denilson should play.I don’t think he has enough about him to play an attacking role
Jaguar, Denilson is a CM. And he’s not playing the defensive role, Song is.
Its the same role Rosicky played in a few game, along Cesc
Denilson is more attacking player than a defensive one, nishanth – I remeber him playing in the Carling Cup game supplying Dudu & Bendtner from AM position and looking OK…
Rosicky played right yesterday and arshavin left.They should switch
suga
i would not under estemate the versitlity of nasri if flamani could play well in that position icant see why nasri cant he has the passing range and the tanasitity and work rate and can break up play and at 21-22 he tons of time i would not put limit on what positions he play ,but i think people are getting me wrong here i not talking about playing in song position i mean were delinson plays in 4-1-2-3 position thats were i mean,he can play wide or central role but too deep just as free role tracks back when needed but realy to link up with cesc and better option to diaby
He is a bit of both actually.Not creative to be played in an attacking role.4-3-3 suits him.He would struggle in a 4-4-2
Nasri taking Denilson’s position is alright.He has the engine.But I was talking about a 4-4-2 where Denilson was paired with Fab as a pure DM,Nishanth.
leon
Flamini used to play in the back 4, can you really see Nasri doing that?
I am just saying that it would be a waste playing him in DM position…
I would clasify Denilson more as a centre circle midfielder. Not physically capable enough to win the defensive duals but not fast enough to be an attacker/ Just in between would be his best spot imo.
Oh okay.Yeah he struggles in a 4-4-2.Cesc did a lot of defending when he played with flamini.After that season his defensive work has gone down.
in 442 waste of talent no dought only linking with cesc in 433 formation in central role
Those people who used to blast Flamini stating that he had one good season needs to get the facts right.Played as a fucking left back in the CL campaign,without any complaints.Rotated among various positions.When he had a good season,he wanted a transfer,I wont blame him.Because he had a manager who didnt trust him in his natural positions.If Wenger applied Diabolical(logic in Diaby’s case) logic,Flamini would have been still an Arsenal player.Talk about hypocrisy.
my point is that we need a more robust player in that position…
fire breathing monster for me…
pretty please…
If cesc’s defending was better i would have liked him to play deeper of the 2.I think nasri is more of a goal scoring threat than cesc.They could keep switching
Milan a goal down
Grafite just embarassed Ferdinand….lol to bad nobody was there to finish it off…..
Seems like Owen may be substituted for some reason..
Wenger does not like players with balls like Flamini and that is a fact…
Flamini should have got whatever he wanted – understanding with Cesc was worth any money, so was Hleb’s…
penny wise, pound foolish – now you will need to pay more than MF wanted and some £15-20M on top of that…
clap, clap, clap…
Agreed Jaguar. Flamini has never let the side down when asked to play in a numer of positions. Diaby is just an embarrassment in comparison.
You could play flamini anywhere and he would give his all.The match against milan was probably his best.Kaka couldn’t do anything against him
Wolfsburg look good atm. Can’t give away stupid free kicks though
AC Milan is just too old…..they need some 20-25 year olds…
Nesta 30+
Kaladze 30+
Zambrotta 30+
Pirlo 30+
Seedorf 30+
Gattuso 30+
Ronaldinho 29 and not what he used to be
Ambrosini 30+
They have Flamini 25 Huntelaar 26 Pato 20 and some others..but they need an injection of youth and quality…they should not have sold Gourcuff
suga3 and signing silvest instead!
should have given that money to flamini
Owen off. Berba on
In fairness that foul on Anderson never was a foul. Just a theatrical dive and the ref assumed it was a foul.
Ja, i agree there. But they bought a few younger players over the summer. Not many but some.
don’t even get me started on that, choy…
stu
the worst thing about it diaby in natural ability his much is alot beter but falamaini works alot harder gives 200% every single game,i shows a bit brilliance and then disapears and goes to just beacuse you have alot natural ability does make you good player
Nesta is still a class act though.Pirlo is pretty useless now.Doubt milan will be there in the top 6 this season
Thats also because of Leonardo tho. They should have appointed someone better. Losing Kaka and Gourcuff in the same summer was just plain retarded.
Not they have a midfield of Pirlo, Gattuso(or flamini) Ambrosini and Seedorf. No pace anywhere there and they are all too old now. They need fresh ideas. Leo might have some but same players that have not won the league in too many years.
I really don’t get it.What exactly is this ability diaby has.The most important aspect of a midfielder’s game is passing and his is just woeful.Diaby is not that talented.
nishanth, Pirlo is still a gem when he’s deployed at CAM instead of a deep-lying playmaker.
He plays there for Italy now. He played it when he was young. Looks bloody amazing too
Valencia almost always shoots wide from there…
Flamini and Diaby are as opposite as 2 players can possibly be.
Flamini is tenacious(sp), a worker, a leader imo, comfortable with either foot and very versatile.
Diaby is big, slow, wants to do it all himself, slow learner, inconsistent, doesnt have a position and only uses his left leg for balance.
I know one is defensive and the other is attacking but Wenger prefered Diaby as a DM so therefore they are in direct competition imo.
Pat Pirlo is not consistent at all.He is too slow now.He would definitely struggle in the premier league.
Remember the Pirlo to Chavski rumours! That would have been hillarious!
Spot on stu
Yeah.It was reported to be around 20 million.
I remember the Deco-Lampard swap rumors. I wish that happened!
that’s why he’s in Serie A, nishanth
Doaby would be better suited to a much slower league, like Serie A – should have bitten Mourinho’s arm off…
Anyone who says we are s*it should take a closer look at Milan.
Grafite is embarassing both Ferdinand and Vidic….
Vidic was expertly turned by Grafite..then he hawled down Grafite….if he were thelast man that would have been red…
Diaby wont last two matches under Moureen.
Jaguar mate, Diaby is sort of player which won’t fit anywhere, no matter where he plays and who is his manager.
Stu Milan have bought some younger players yes…but they dont play them…..
On any given day they have atleast 6 30+ year olds….no wonder they cant score……there is no one to feed Pato, Inzaghi and Hunter…
And we all know Ronaldinho is not what he used to be…I have watched him recently….he still has wonderful passes..but his speed is gone….and his confidence I guess is low so not as many tricks either…but he still has some wonderful pases in him though…
stu
i dont see as defensive or ofensive i see as puting shift in for the team and tracking back putting a few tackles i have no time for players like diaby,now rambo works hard good passing and everytime i see him play he putsin good and a solid performance what on earth does have to to get the nod over diaby
And also I dont blame Leonardo for AC Milan’s situation…because I dont think he was the one who made the decisions to sell kaka and Gourcuff….he probably has good ideas….but its mostly the same old players that have been there ages….
He would need to recruit some younger blood and mould them……and use the older ones sparingly…like Manure do with Giggs and Scholes..
Maciek,
I think he would be excellent in Ligue 1 or Serie A, as these are much slower leagues, plus, another manager would just play him in SS position bang in the middle…
Yes Ja, is a shame whats happening at that club. I feel somewhat sorry for Leonardo. He has a few gems but the board sold 2 of Milans best players in the summer. And both for the same position so instead of Kaka and Gourcuff they have Seedorf and a past it Ronaldinho.
Onyeywu on the bench last time out. Nesta needs someone better next to him than Kaladze imo. And Zambrotta left back with a midfield..Abate i think..right back. Makes no sense.
They are a mockery now…compared to their former selves and us even.
Apparently the majority of french people want Diaby to start for France in the DM position of all places. This despite him only getting less than a handful of caps and being a pretty shite defensive mind.
Maybe its all french people and not just Wenger. Diaby must have a spell over them or something.
6 games live right now and only 2 goals
And the best matches not even on tv.
Ligue 1 isn’t much slower than the PL. Same goes to the Bundesliga which is one of the most entertaining
Diaby would still do the job there, IMO…
if French people think he is a good DM, here’s a cunning plan: let’s swap him for Matuidi
flamini off, zambrotta on.
Faceman, you watching the match?
no mate
following on the live link off the uefa champs site
backed pato to score, on the biorythms again
Yeah its a good plan SUGA. If the french rate him so highly then we should easily be able to ship him to one of them.
I was just wondering because someone said Milan were losing and to take a midfielder off for a full back seems a bit strange given the score.
SUGA, he is so frustrating. He pi***s me off. Jacky is 100 times the player Abou is amd the kid is only 17. Todays Guardian reports that Arsene has 80 milion warchest. Even if he has only half of that, it should be enough to buy us a quality gk, back-up cd, cdm.But hey, we have got Diaby and Silvestre.
How many of our current players,would have featured in the invincibles?
Fab,Arshavin,RVP.Anyone else guys?
Gallas instead of Toure maybe Jaguar…maybe.
Please dont mention the names of Diaby and Silvestre Maciek mate.And Mr.Wenger commented that he couldnt find anyone better than Shitvestre and Diabolical.What a fucking joker he is!
Dzeko
get in
Rosicky too but not sure where or instead of who.
Q: is it which of the current players are better than their invincible counterparts or just which of the current squad would be god enough to play in the invinvibles team?
Dzeko!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed Stu.I would give it a 50-50.Even Clichy,Sagna wouldnt have got the nods over Mr Tweedy and Lauren.
DZEKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suga, did you see the goal? I missed it..
SUGA, lets swap him for Sissoko from Toulouse or Toulalan (sp) from Lyon.Sorted.Lyon has always had a great midfielders. Where did they buy them.
That prick fouled Anderson,what a mug!
simple cross and header, Stu…
some player, this Dzeko fella
1:1 Giggs FK…
Cashley and Sagna would be the fullbacks
Northern monkeys equalise,what a shame.
Fuck. Guys in wall should jump.
Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky goal!!!!!!!!
Fuck
Why do they get those lucky deflections?
Lyon do in Lique 1 what Bayern do in the Bundesliga.
At the end of each season they buy the star performers from the team below them. It not only strengthens them but also weakens their competitors.
Its a great way to go about things because anyone coming in will already know the league and they have already shown that they arent out of their depth in that league. Shame players in the prem cost so fucking much.
lucky fucks. If not stoppage time, then an own goal, penalty, or deflection.
They always fucking get a way out
I thinl Lauren was much better than Sagna.
Lauren could attack like a midfielder and tackle like a CB. He was a great full back imo.
Sagna just has the defensive abilities and is shite going forward.
They are prasing Giggs again..when it was a lucky deflection….the ball was headed to the keepers right then it deflected to the keepers left……
it was a horrible deflection…but they prasing Giggs again…
kaka 2-0.
Not on this stream their not JAGUNNER
http://www.iraqgoals.net/ch3.html
dunno Maciek, Toulalan would be a good addition but this is just not going to happen…
it is hard to find good, experienced and available players, so there is some logic in AW’s thinking, but I’d like to see some £££ being spent on massive player to send out a statement of intent…
Sagna would become a better RB than Lauren eventually.But he wont match the passion shown by Lauren.Mr.Noballsrooy, would vouch for that.
How long b4 Fergie does his best to unsettle Dzeko as the winter transfer window opens? Pity we didn’t get him.
Jaguar,I agree. The thing is, as long as Wenger is in charge, You shouldn’t have high hopes. He said himself 2 days ago, that as long as he makes a profit, he feels he is doing a great job. What a clown. Given was available for 5 mil., yet he f**d up the chance to sing him. He didn’t bother to add 1 or 2 milion more to bring Matuidi. Our board almost failed in Arshavin’s case. We have won last 4 games against average opposition, yet some people think we are good enough. But hey, Arsene knows, doesn’t he?
Sagna is like 26 tho. Not gonna be much more of an improvment from him imo.
Ronaldo is going well….he has scored 2 quick goals and drew a foul that led to a Kaka penalty….
Seems Ronaldo is trying to prove something….
They’re playing L’OM Ja Gunner! Last game they let in 3 goals agaist Valecionnes!
Its 3-0 to Real Madrid….
Ronaldo scored 2 and made the other for Kaka thats what I read on the commnetary…but Higuain is on for Ronaldo now because of injury….I wonder if its serious?
Stu, about Bayern- funny how they bought Gomez for 30 mil and he is crap for them, yet they have a young player named Muller and the kid is scoring goals for fun. LOL.
Ja_Gunner, did you hear about the warlock who said United would be ruled out with a long injury? This came out yesterday
I wouldnt say Gomez is crap for them. He has a few goals. But yes Muller is in fine form for them.
Yeah Pat…but we know the football world will blow it way out of proportion……..Real have yet to face any quality teams…they faced an off form Villareal..thats about it….and they edged Deportivo 3-2
But u cant deny..Ronaldo is probably now the leading goald scorer in europe…..5 in La liga and 4 in the CL now
Thats 9 goals….
should have said “CR would be rul;ed out…”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6854473.ece
Arsene knows fuckall.He is a stubborn idiot,who lives in a delusional world of his own.We wont win anything unless,he sheds his stubbornness and open the eyes to the real world outside.
Carrick scores
Fucking lucky bastards!
i absolutely hate these fucking cunts.
I think I heard about the curse on here…..
but Ronaldo really doesnt play like a winger does he….on the commentary it said both his goals came from the centre of the penalty box to the centre of the goal……that means that other fowards are dragging players and goal keeper out of poistion and setting him up….
Shoudnlt he be the one doing that mostly?
Shit Wolfsburg asked for that they have invited to much pressure on themselves…….they have sat back since they scored the goal……
We need midfielders that can shoot…
That fucking deflection saved thier ass. they were on the back foot before that
CR& was even sitting on the pitch while madrid passed the ball among themselves. He was hardly walking when he went off.
I guess we were right to take Nasri over Ben Arfa after all. I hear Ben Arfa wants out of Marseille because he cant get a game for them anymore.
