Ok it was only Dagenham, but he also scored 4 on his trial against Norwich, maybe this 17 year old wonderkid, really is a wonderkid.
We have nothing of note to talk about or even hope for but the one ray of sunshine on another rubbish season is we may at last have signed a Brazilian that merits the tag Wonderkid! We’ll see.
A number of you mentioned there was a very naughty blog that was raising a petition to sack not John Terry, but none other than Arsenal God, Arsene Wenger, many of you were upset and said they only had 16 signatures, others said yes but they had 8,500 hits, either way, heresy or not, in years gone by no one would have dared to suggest we got shot of him. This could be the thin end of the wedge, Arsene, beware the ides of March.
NO-ONE IS BIGGER THAN ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB.
I have a theory, not a wish, a theory. I think Francesc Fabregas, our best player, and probably the finest midfield prospect in football has had enough, wouldn’t you? 6 years and bugger all to show for it, I often wonder how he must feel trotting out alongside some of the talentless players he has to and wondering what the hell he is doing here.
My theory is this, at the end of the season he will say I’m off, the fact he has a contract until 2016 means nothing to Wenger, those contracts are more about keeping the players happy than the fans.
I think that will give Arsene the get out of jail card he needs to leave us, in good financial shape, but without having to admit project youth is a dismal failure, he’ll go onto Madrid or Milan and start spending gazillions, win the ECL and retire saying had he had the money at Arsenal, he could have done the same.
Then we’ll get a Maureen or someone, he’ll spend the money to build up an instant team and we’ll be in debt. Then Wenger will say, I told you so.
I hope I’m wrong, that we beat Chelsea, win the league and the ECL and sign what we need in the summer.
If Wenger stays and Cesc leaves we still won’t spend the money, we didn’t with the £40mil we got from shitty so I don’t believe we would do it if we got £50mil for Cesc either.
Shame really because had we bought a world class keeper, a world class DM and a world class forward, we could have won the lot.
Robin will get injured again next season, as will Theo, Nasri and by then Gallas, we have to factor that in and stock up, but players like Randall, Denilson and Almunia sadly aren’t good enough for us right now.
I said we struggled with Phil for what 5 years? He cost us games and the boss ignored it, then suddenly he’s gone, did Arsene apologise and say he got it wrong and sorry for putting us through it? No.
Then we watch Song play like a drain for 2 years, then he comes good and Wenger wants the credit.
It doesn’t need to be like that, buy ready mades and bring on a few kids every season, not the other way around.
Ok it’s just a theory, I hope it doesn’t happen and we clean up this season, for me now is the time to make changes.
The back 4 should be Eboue,Campbell, Gallas and Cruise, Clichy and Sagna I like but they’ve gone to pot, so stick them in the reserves until they improve.
Midfield should be Cesc Diaby/Song and Vermaelen and the front three should be Rosicky Bendtner and Arshavin.
Use Nasri, Theo and Eduardo when one of the above is injured.
We have Djourou and Robin coming back, but then we have a whole bunch that really aren’t ever going to make it, so sell them and use the money to buy better.
Hoyte, Gilbert, Randall, Almunia, Denilson and Simpson should all be sold.
Thomas, Eastmond, Lansbury and Watt may make it so have them back in the reserves. Then the youth team can fight it out, Sunu won’t make it in my book but Coquelin will, go through the team and keep only what we need, that’ll bring in some money and save on the wage bill.
If Wenger stays, bring in a number two that occasionally talks, challenges and makes suggestions, all I saw when the third goal went in on Sunday was a silent Pat Rice and an arm waving Wenger, what should have happened was a series of changes long before they were made.
Do all that and I will be hopeful that we are back to being a football club and not an football academy to make average players rich and happy.
Don’t even get me on the youth player that can afford a Maclaren Mercedes but doesn’t think the law applies to him. One word, arrogant dimwit. Okay that’s two!
Have a great day grovers, we are almost at that point where we push on and challenge or have to start looking a the spuds results and worrying about the bosses big ECL qualifying bonus…allegedly! See online Gooner.

Thanks ray. sorry i wasnt around
Gambon
It’s actually quite sad, I actually feel sorry for him, like a mad uncle with alzheimers. His stubborness will ultimately be the end of him. Personally, the last four years a couple of signings at the right time would have landed at least 4 trophies. I think it’s fantastic he is investing in kids, but who will they learn from..?
I agree Daniel. It started off as a project, then when he realised it wasnt working he became too stubborn to change it and admit he got it wrong. He is ruining our chances of silverware to save face and line his own pockets.
Having a strong youth policy is great, butnot at the expense of hardened experienced players. Man U are a good example, they have far better balance between young & old, and attack & defence.
AW doesn’t do defence, does he?
he won the first honours with the inherited proper back four and a GK – why fix something that was not broken?
frankly, if Sol didn’t land in his lap, we would not be anywhere near as successful in the later years…
Wenger doesnt do defence OR tactics. He just sets his team out to outplay the opposition. Simple as…
where is everyone?
Stu’s blog fart killed em all
So team news:
Eddie, Vela out.
Diaby may play.
The season aint over yet, to say it is rubbish NOW is well hasty…
WE have had some shite results and the importance of not losing Sunday cannot be over played, IMO…. Not just for our chances, mathematically to stay in the title race, but also for the impact a loss would have on the players, not to mention the fans (oh, this place will be fun if that happens!!!)
WE went there last season, not many gave us a chance and we won…
2-1 again will do me!
But this is THE BLOG OF DOOM innit!!!
Stu;
To say WEnger dont do tactics is funny mate, seriously funny comment…
You werent being serious were you???
Wow, that came out all wrong!
Haha MG.. you know what might just work in our favour?
The Orgy that the chavs seem to love having!
Is anyone actually enjoying The Emirates..? I find it quite cold and lifeless.. God, I miss Highbury, the reasons we had to move I.e increased income, to be able to compete with Man U etc I totally understood. But in reality the truth is the opposite, all our investment is lining the pockets of teenage kids who have done nothing, where is their motivation, JET getting nicked in his Mercedes Mclaren just fucking pisses me off…. must go and calm down
i’ve had enough, we need signings, sundays beating to chavski will prove that….
wenger spend the cash or go. Your best players are RVP, FAB, VERMINATOR, ASHAVIN, two of them you bought as the ready made article. The other you bought but made amazing.
Does anyone still remember the season we bought 5 players and campbell joined on FREE!!!
thats when we were amazing, not just potential to be
And i couldnt be prouded choy..
What a load of fucking shit! We have opted against signing Savic. Why was there so much hype around him getting a trial etc.. We are back to only JD and Vermaelen being sure to be here come next season now..
Daniel;
Motivating million players is what top flight football is all about these days…. Something that old red nosed twat excells at…
Stu;
Maybe that Savic is shit?
*millionaire…
Have we definitely not opted to sign him? I read somewhere his club wanted £15m…
Why is that shit Stu?! It shows that Wenger is really trying to find a young centre back who’s good enough, and gonna make absolutely sure he gets the right man!
We’ve got 7 months to find and get that man, be patient!
If we lose this place will be a haven of tranquility!
In all seriousness, you dont get upset if you lose at Stamford bridge, unless they fuck up mightily to do it. Chelsea are the best home team in Europe.
I dunno MG. Jeorge Birds blog said his trial ended and the club opted against offering him a deal.
Motivating million players is what top flight football is all about these days…
————————
all in the one team ?
are you talking about the chev’s squad ?
According to one of the youth websites we’re still to decide, another one says we decided not to, and he was to blame for one of the goals against dagenham and redbridge, and was shakey all game
Is that a fact Gambon. Not a team but Mourinho is definately the best at home. He hasnt lost a home match since he was in charge of Porto (in the league obviously). UNless Inter lost at home this season.
Arsenal are yet to decide on whether to sign trialists Samuel Galindo and Stefan Savić.
Arsène Wenger has spent today deciding on the prospects and he will deliver a verdict shortly.
Stefan was at fault for the Dagenham goal and looked shaky at times.
______________
From Young Guns
Any other club should snap up Savic. If Wenger doesnt rate him he must be good, cos Wenger just cannot do defence.
Just that its shit than he was said to be coming in the summer and supposed to be this great prospect. Had he failed a trial under the radar then fine but there were a load of stories impling he was ging to be part of the first team and such.
Nah Stu they havn’t, had a really good come back recently and they made a big deal about the home record. It is pretty ridiculous
Haha! @ ethan
A;
Yeah, if we have decided against signing him, it most probably means he aint that good, and anyways, he’s only 6ft1! We need 7ft CBs at least!
Ridiculous it may be A but not losing a home league match for 6 or so years is nothing short of magnificant.
What stories implied that Stu?!
All I saw was that Savic had said he’d rejected Spuds and Birmingham to come on a trial with us.
If he wasn’t good enough on the trial then I’m happy we havn’t signed him, we’ve got 5 months before the window even opens, let alone closes! Gotta make sure we get top top quality there
dead right Gambon ,
not to hose out anyone’s fire but you cannot deny history !
i think we’ve one once in the last 14 outings ..
and we have enough trouble beating stoke and Bolton nowadays ..
some facts are hard to ignore , yet Arsenal fans are seriously deluded to ignore all logic in favor of wishful thinking .
I wonder what happened to the Sakho rumours?
Yeah Stu it’s very impressive, I reckon he cheats somehow, slips sedatives in the opposition’s water or something along those lines.
We already know he’s a massive cheat from the hiding in the laundry basket, and the ear piece thing!
Just sign Zapata and be done with it Arsene!
Jeeezuss ethan! Wishful thinkin is one the MAIN things you do when you’re a football fan FFS!
To be coldly objective is a sad state of affairs… Its hard enough in the real world, being practical, pragmamtic and coldly objective…
Fuck that! Wishful and dare I say, a bit of fancifle thinking too, for good measure!!!
has anyone asked themselves why man U peak in form after Christmas and we peak in November the die out quickly …
even the last year we had hleb and co . we did the same ..
i thought those factors would of came up more in A’s analyzing of this team ..
We faded in the second half of THAT season Ethan because Rosicky was ruled out for the season and we lost our shape with Theo and Eboue fighting it out to take his place.
What Sakho rumours Mang?! Don’t make me point out the left sided thing again!!
ethan if Utd get more points in the second half of the season than the first this season then i’ll eat my hat!
*and Eduardos shock injury too…obviously.
Stu, if we can be thrown off course by that then we are fucked!
What kind of hat A. I dont see why they coudnt be better in the second half. Experience counts for alot and they apparently had a poor first half to the season..
I swear thats wrong A, the left footed CBs thing. But lets not go into that one.
ethan;
WE have 4 of the toughest games there are in the league, one after the other…
Hardly us falling away mate…
Alot of my Mancy mates (City and United) are saying how we have an amazing run after the scouse game and could win all those games… Whereas the other teams have much harder run ins..
Not saying its a given, but but we do have a favourable run of fixtures…
how’s that gambon?! losing two top attacking players, with one already out long term, would’ve crippled utd or chelsea just as it did when it happened to us!
2 lefties can play next to eachother if necessary. But if its to be a long term or permanent thing then the one playing on the right would have to be pretty brilliant with his chocolate leg.
Because their fixtures are much harder second half of season stu
gambon wenger even said when we signed sol that one big reason was that with senderos out we had noone that could play on the right side if gallas got injured….
ManGoonian
thers wishful THINKING , and theres wishful blogging ..
yes i think to myself id love us to win , but i would be a ‘Nancy boy drag queen’(gay) to think the odds are stacked in our favor and to blurt out random BS on a blog pertaining to our overwhelming dominance …
Because its simply delusional to say so .
Man Almunia will do enough to sink the rest of our season , thats not to mention injuries and denilson !
Wishful and dare I say
then get let down like a bytch after ?
is that how it goes ?
fuck that , you only look like an irrational , illogical plonker with your dick in your hand
A you’re wrong. Man UTD will continue to win. Man UTD only have a blip, we have collapses. Plus they win ugly, i can’t remember the last time we did
WE were shit against smaller teams last season, this time round we have an excellent record, if we carry that on and win most of those games, we won’t be far off…
But, fauck! I am getting all wishful again…!
Yeah Stu, pretty much two footed, and it’s very rare to find a two footed leftie, can’t think of one.
It could happen as emergency measure, just as Arshavin playing centre forward is an emergency measure, but you wouldn’t sign a leftie to play alongside another leftie, just as you wouldn’t sign arshavin specifically to play centre forward
Surely it cant be too dis-similar to their first half fixtures A. Everyone plays everyone else twice. Unless of course you mean the order.
Chocolate leg…lol.
Ive got a chocolate wrist!
ethan;
You didnt need (gay) for people to realise your point there!!
“blurt out random BS on a blog…” Have you read much else on here???
Yeah i cant think of one either A.
Its odd how righties are much better with their left than vice versa isnt it…
Fuck sake Chelsea have had their transfer ban lifted.
MG,
Shitty and even Spuds away are far from gimmies IMO…
fuck that , you only look like an irrational , illogical plonker with your dick in your hand
____________________
U have read a shit load of that from Gooners of every persuasion mate!!!
Not odd at all. Every left footer has to play LB or LW when theyre developing. Righties on the other hand play all over.
Not saying its a given, but but we do have a favourable run of fixtures…
—————————————-
the next 2 fixtures could already put us out of the running …
mangoonian are you related to wenger
?
concocting a future that is yet to manifest ?
And Stoke away too SUGA.
I have, not U have FFS!
Suga3;
Well done for being the 1st to find a negative in my post…. You have won a prize…
We arent strong enough to win it this time, we’re getting there but im worried wenger will fuck it up at the end of the season.
Xlosely followed by Stu…
its tougher stu in that they played the tough teams home already, and now gotta play them away
You could argue that they HAVE to play there because they are shit with their right foot Gambon.
In fariness MG, had SUGA not mentioned those 2 tough matches i wouldnt have added Stoke.
ethan;
Nope, seriously though, I have had my mancy mates telling me how jammy we are with our run of fixtures and how they are worried… It hadnt even occurred to me about the games after, coz I have been soooo fucked off after the game last Sunday..
Stu
Its not like its genetic or anything. At the age of 7/8 every kid is completely one footed.
suga
too right the spuds will make it personal , so will ade ..
both those 2 fixtures are far tougher than villa at home FFS !
or maybe i should use some of Mg’s wishful thinking
mate , winston churchill said , those that dont take note of history are destined to repeat it ..
sound like our manager ?
And been trying not to imagine the reaction to another defeat vs the chavs…
we can win but won’t, we don’t know how any more
Not true Gambon. I didnt have a favoured foot until i was about 13…probably because i didnt start playing until then. But because of that im equally as good with either foot now. So much so im a right footed left back.
So, the chavs have most probably chucked a shit load of money at Lens to buy em off and allow them ti buy players again…
They did it with the spuds, with the Mancs and now lens…

yes because they lost there safety blanket
the greasy wog boy . Im sure they are giving you shit now though !
getting a point from villa , going down at the hands of man U on the week end , im sure they are doing anything but flattering our team now FFS !
rubbing your face in it sounds more BELIEVABLE
It depends on the manor of the defeat MG. If we get thrashed there would be uproar, if we narrowly lose there would still be people bitching but it would be as bad.
it is weird though, because lefties who play centrally also are almost always very one footed.
Attacking wise i guess being left footed is an advantage, so they use their left foot all the time, and in other positions at a young age lefties are probably forced to play on the left so they don’t develop it as much.
MG
i do believe we could of been close this season had wenger got in some instant experience ..
thats not on deaths door (sol)
that boat has sailed my friend , sooner you come to terms with it , the sooner you can REALLY become optimistic ..
Again ethan, you may enjoy havin feaces rubbed in your face, but per-lease mate!
There was a lot of crowing after the game Sunday, but football moves on and after the chavs dropped points against mighty Hull, they look beatable again and those Mancs havent written us off, they dont need to, our fans do such a great job of that!!!
It wont be bad if we lose to chelsea.
The only reasons people will complain is if;
- We lose a lead
- Individual errors (particularly Al or Lego face)
If we lose to the chavs, it probably means the end of any title hopes, but we should still catch utd imo. The only worry is the nature of the defeat, if we get thrashed, and it kills confidence, could lose to liverpool, then struggle for the rest of the season, in the games that have up to this point been bread and butter
MG,
thank you for this honour
ethan;
Oh, we should’ve signed a player or 2, but again, continually being REALISTIC, or just writing us off aint the same thing, IMO…
Suga3;
Hahaha! Drum roll please……

MG
yes sure we can beat the easy beat teams this season .
but the problems always been having a good showing V’s the top 4 ..
weve always been the whipping boy for the past 4/5 seasons when facing them .. If you cant win the big games , with regularity , you aint going to win shit … the EPL is that cruel .
you know it and so do i ..
wenger ignores key issues every season ,in favor of blind faith ..
until the personnel change expect more of the same , these players arent developing as fast as wenger gives them credit for ..
i think this is cesc’s 1st best season for us .
He’s turning into a REAl captain …
but others need to click like that in order for wengers dream to work , and is doesn’t …
DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
ethan;
Our record vs the top 4 last season was better than chavs and United though…
The way you keep moving the goal posts, I would swear you are trying to lure me over to the dark side…???
oh fuck MG im not righting anybody off !
thats the problem its too close to call , it would be foolish even as a fan to do so ..
or you will get reminded of it every 2 weeks on here for the rest of your like , i have been here since Le grove started ..
im not about to tell you my nancy boy dreams where theo gets a hat trick and song and denilsons on the bench with almunia , and vito is waving to him from the goal mouth !
and we are for once 7- 0 up V’s the chev’s but it aint going to happen lad !
ethan – last two seasons we’ve been top of the “top four” league table havn’t we?
But couldn’t beat the smaller teams consistently.
Just as Utd last season were bottom of that top four minileague, but beat the little teams so consistently they won the title
“weve always been the whipping boy for the past 4/5 seasons when facing them .. If you cant win the big games , with regularity , you aint going to win shit … the EPL is that cruel .
you know it and so do i ..”
lol, hard to find a statement that’s got it more wrong!
We’ve been the best in previous seasons in the big games, not the “whipping boys”.
Utd won the EPL last season whilst being the worst of the top 4 in the big games!
IF;
Fabianski plays in goal
Cesc, Diaby and Song play in midfield.. and the players actually turn up this time…
Then we can win on Sunday….
Wishful thinking, deludedness or just having blind faith, call it what you want…
Thats me though!!!
But we haven’t beaten the big boys when it really counts. A couple swallow victories in the Autumn against them doesn’t a summer maketh, or something.
We dont have the ability to score 85points, let alone 85 points against the small teams.
Thats the difference, UTD were a machine last year against the smaller teams.
ethan;
What is wrong with posting that nacy boy shit??? This is a blog, tons of pure bull shit and rubbish gets posted every day, why worry about saying stuff about us winning stuff is soooo bad???
MG; Flappianski will at least make it entertaining in a going out on our shield kind of way.
gambon;
And they havent been such a machine this season though, have they?
Paulinho;
You used to atleast try and base your player slatings with a bit of logic fella! Now you seem to write off anyone you fancy (not like THAT!)
stringer bell is an arsenal fan!
true gambon, that was the difference last year, and this year we’ve been better than utd at that….
it’s only chelsea who have beaten the little teams consistently as us
Merida’s Number 1 Fran;
Post of the day mate (I know I have only been on since 10, but, come one!)
MG;
I’ve just never seen any great improvement on Almunia when Fabianski plays. With the very young Pole at Brenford – that’s a different story. He will be a brilliant keeper.
I still think pound for pound, Denilson is worst than Almunia and Clichy level with him.
ethan – last two seasons we’ve been top of the “top four” league table havn’t we?
But couldn’t beat the smaller teams consistently.
—————————
i think the last 5 seasons A we have been the bottom end of the top 4 !
the problems aint the fucking smaller teams A , cant you read
its MAN U – CHEV’s and pool (jury’s still out on that for 2 weeks)
cant wipe the floor and dominate them you will NEVER get the confidence needed to be No. 1
thats what winners are ..
there are not fluky nancy boys who go around the back door to win a title …
what Previous EPL winner did that to win the EPL ?? none !
all that end up on top at the end of the season generally have warranted being there .
if you think playing players like big al and denilson in the run down to the end of the season will do us proud , your delusional !
and ahead of man U A ? your kidding ?
they wiped the floor with us at home and somehow , with your vast knowledge you figure
we are still better ?
delusional …
they ALWAYS finish strong ,
we always finish like powder puffs ..
PS :- this fight is all about momentum and confidence ..
i know out of man U and us who would be more confident after last weekend , they just push past us on the EPL table like we let them pass !
FFS !
you delusional bunch !
Who te fork is Stringer Bell?
By the way, I fully expect us to play some nice stuff in the first half an hour on Sunday, before the game turns into a battle of attrition – and Drogba starts becoming an irritant.
huh ethan?
You need to read and try to understand things better.
“i think the last 5 seasons A we have been the bottom end of the top 4 !”
Nope, you think wrong, last season and the season before, the opposite was true.
“what Previous EPL winner did that to win the EPL ?? none !”
ummmm, Utd last season….
watever,we are not goin to win nuffin this season with a clown in between the sticks and a headless chicken in the midfield.
lol, hard to find a statement that’s got it more wrong!
—————————–
hahaha wot BS !
i cant remember a time we beat the top 4 in the 2nd half of the season , or at every crucial time weve needed the points to surge ahead , we’ve faltered . argue that fact boyo !
C.L semis ?
V the chev’s 1 win in 14
the manc’ s SLIGHTLY better
cmon …
your using your selective memory again
Last season the only game we lost against a bit team was the loss to chelsea. We beat and drew with Utd, drew twice with liverpool, and beat and lost to chelsea.
Utd, the champions, lost and drew with us, lost and beat chelsea, and lost twice to liverpool.
AKB’s dont have selective memory because they dont even have memories.How can AKB’s have memories when they dont have brains?
we have been 2nd once since 2004
the rest of the time we have been in the cellar
or close there abouts ..
FFS !
Who te fork is Stringer Bell?

a character in the greatest tv programme of all time (The Wire)
ethan;
You are quality mate! Never admit you are wrong!!!
The actor is the fan though*
Last season, the top four minileague went
1. Liverpool
2. Arsenal
3. Chelsea
4. Utd
Utd, who won the league, got a massive total of 4 points from their 6 games against the big four
Never watched the wire.
However, the actor who plays Bell was also in “The US Office”. He kicked a ball into a fattys face…
Mang
Yeah but this season theyve done better against the big teams. so whats the difference?
It doesnt matter if you beat big/small teams, its how many points you get.
We dont get enough, and wont this season.
It is pretty hilarious Mang!!
“i think the last 5 seasons A we have been the bottom end of the top 4 !”
Last season we were second.
“what Previous EPL winner did that to win the EPL ?? none !”
Last season Utd came bottom of the minileague.
It’s hilarious how wrong someone can be making categorical statements, and it isn’t even like it was a while ago, literally the last season totally contradicts EVERYTHING he’s saying!

A last season we were 2nd ???
in what ?
Jaguar;
Thanks Dadda, gonna have my warm milk and cookies now…
ethan;
Is this another patented switch of points now? Moving the goal posts yet again heh!
Arsenal were second in the minileague Ethan. United were last in the minileague but won the league overall because they thrashed all the smaller teams.
Thats what A is saying.
Ethan that’s not the minileague was it.
We were talking about the games with the big teams playing each other, as you well know.
Obviously there wasn’t a discussion about where the teams came overall in the league, but the games between each other.
Last season, in the games between each other
Liverpool were 1st with 14 points
Arsenal 2nd with 9
Chelsea 3rd with 7
Utd last with 4
In the table, Utd won the league, Chelsea second, Liverpool third
categorical proof you can be shite against the big teams and win the league!
Even if we lost to Chelsea, and got a point against Liverpool, we would’ve done as well as Utd did last season against the big four!
You are welcome,Mangoo!
Stu he knows that’s what I was saying, he just made categorical statements that were totally incorrect, and easily proven as such!
There is no way even he could have thought that we were discussing whether Utd won the league, and where we came in the league!
A – as ever just another way to dance around the facts .. what the fuck is a mini leauge ..
what a twat ..
look at the head to head stats over the past 6 years for fuck sake you sad little man !
dont try and do the stat dance with me ..
we have never looked like winning anything for the past 6 years !
put that in your stat book !
ethan i just showed you the head to head stats for last season….
Utd 4 points
Arsenal 9 points
Liverpool 14 points
a minileague is putting those head to head stats into a smaller table
Hahaha! Ethan you rass clart!! You were the 1 who brought up us losing to the top teams and how we need to… Its been proved wrong and now you are saying what does it matter now!!! Classic…
Utd last season beat one big team, and drew with one big team, and lost the other four games.
Head to head, they were comfortably the worst of the big four
The high stakes games:
Chelsea in 06/07 – lost in Carling Cup final
Chelsea in the league March 08 – lost 2-1
United in the league April 08 – lost 2-1.
Chelsea in F.A Cup semi-final 09 – lost 2-1
United in champions league semi 09 – lost 4-1 on aggregate.
“Battle for third” 09 – lose to Chelsea 4-1.
All our victories against those teams have been in the Autumn period, in relatively low stake, low pressure games.
stu ,
one season doesnt tell the picture now does it ?
am i dealing with babies or do i need to state the obvious !
GO BACK OVER THE PAST 5 /6 years …
they tell the truth !
our lack of silverware tells the truth !
A stats are as irrelevant to me as wenger buying players , its all a big smoke screen to hide the AKB facts …
last year man U had bad injuries at the start of the season .. most prior to christmas had written them off ..
to come back and win the EPL after those setback showed character , a character our team is yet to hunger for !
so big up all the players and out team all we want ..
but i bet you no one is willing to bet we win the league and put serious money on the cunt !
This arsenal team of ours is perfect for thrashing the weak teams but crumbling against the best teams. Its why we are unlikely to ever win the CL under Wengers current set up.
The big games are never low pressure Paulinho, and what’s the relevance of that anyways?
The point is you don’t have to win the big games to win the league
A,
this minileague thing is just clutching at straws…
besides, why can’t we have it both ways? always, it’s one or the other – take this season: we can dance and run rings around some shitkickers, dazzle them and score goals from anywhere, yet we are getting spanked silly by big teams…
and CL? there are no shitkickers there, even Porto will be a tough cookie…
All AKB’s.Go to sleep.Its high time.
Blimey, now we aint even using League games…. Deary lord o’Mercy…

Hahaha! Ethan you rass clart!! You were the 1 who brought up us losing to the top teams and how we need to… Its been proved wrong and now you are saying what does it matter now!!! Classic…
——————————-
i said WE LOSE WHEN IT COUNTS !
and i said to LOOK OVER THE PAST 6 years , giving me last years stats wins the arguement ?
fuck me are you guys really that fucking thick ?
Do I have to spell it out A?
When there is something tangible riding on the game, we bottle it to an extent or our flaws get exposed. Both are intertwined anyway.
You really have to one of those who take each game/season in isolation, completely blank out trends/patterns, to not see what Ethan is referring to.
A;
Everyone has decided that the minileague thing aint an issue now…. The point has been disporved, so we have to revert to the same ol same old…
Arguing with ethan reminds me of the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, can anyone relate?
Also – does anyone know how you wipe your itunes library? moved the folders around so most of the tracks in the library aren’t found when i try and play them
Oh, I assumed Ethan was referring to the whole shebang, cups and league.
ethan;
You kill me! You should be in Politics, they never admit when they are wrong either!!!
A;
Just say we havent won anything for a few years so we can move on, fella!

Ethan,
I think A makes a fair point on this Buddy.
The Manacs duff up all the minnows every year and I keep harping on about thier Gangster Manager having favours from his mates.
My worry this season is not losing to the Chavs or Poo but not beating the small Teams as we did in the first part of the season.
Us v Everton is my point. We smashed them 6-1 then drew 2-2.
I know Everton improved but whats stopping some of the others doing the same.
If we smash Fergies mates and any other minnows then we are still in it but we do need to rely on the big 4 also beating each other.
