Great game guys, can't wait till our next encounter, the two best footballing sides of the EPL produced a great game, it is quite fun to have a little bit of our rivalry back like the old days

yea u have to admit the EPL title race was getting kind boring without us there huh??

ah i know it's majorly comfortable for us but i hate it when lino's get decisions like that so wrong :@

Good Win, Eboue is ****, he slows down our play so much. Get him off and get another striker up top with Ade. When Ade drops deep there is no one up in the box and when he is there its him by himself.


Ade Insert Stiker Here


Rosiky Helb


Cesc

Gilberto/Diarra


Clichy Gallas Toure Sagna


Manuel Almunia


Would be our best lineup. Diarra is a beast

Agreed that Eboue slows down the play. He is still thinking like a defender when he gets the ball. He either makes a simple pass or crosses it, but he never really takes anyone on. My only other complaint is Adebayor alone up front. I know he scored, but it was against Reading and he really did nothing against Liverpool and Man U.
Bendtner and Diarra were really good when they came on. I'm not sure who should start against Wigan with Fabregas being suspended. Denilson is probably the player most fitted to play that position, but he wasn't even on the bench today.

Thank God these are the last Euro 2008 qualifiers for the rest of the season.

I think Eduardo needs to play more because yes he has not done much while he played in the matches he played so far in the premier league but I guarantee you that if he gets chances like adebayor did against reading especially the one adebayor missed early in the game he will put them away I think Eduardo is going to be part of Arsenal getting 1st or 2nd in the title race because he can certainly provide some goals for us when we are going to need it especially against lower teams

Arsenal havent seen much of Eduardo, or niether the fans. If Wenger gives him a chance, I'm sure he will deliver.

I dont know why Wenger doesnt just start dudu with Ade up front. Seriously DUDU looks like a lethal finisher. Or even Theo up front with Ade would be great.

as long as Eboue isn't playing right midfield

That is one lonnng ass sentence....


Anyway, WHEN IS VAN PERSIE COMING BACK?? I have him in my fantasy team and I'm not gonna sell him because his price has dropped too much...

I don't think he'll be available for Wigan, but after that he should be back.

sweet man, thanks for the info

There's been a rumor going around that we might make a move for Agbonlahor in January or in the summer.
I personally think he's already one of the quickest players in the game and is only getting better. But do we need him? Whose playing time would decrease because of him?

What do you guys think?

We already have enough strikers. RVP, Ade, Dudu, Theo and Bendtner. I don't think we need another striker.

What just happened out there? We were ****e! I am so ******* pissed now. We played a bad game, Sevilla deserved to win. We need to sell Senderos, he was ****e, so were gilberto and eboue.

dude relax, fantastic unbeaten run in the premiership and you're already starting to 'sell' players because they didn't care about a game which didn't even matter all that much?

It's not just that they didn't play well in this match, they usually don't play well, especially Senderos. He makes lots of mistakes when he plays, especially in the EPL. Eboue has his good days and his bad days. Unfortunately, the bad days are more frequent. Gilberto, I guess he is still ok, and just had a bad day today, plus the fact that he hasnt played for a while for Arsenal.

No you guys just fell into the Guti trap, every time one of your players got the ball it was met by a harsh challenge from a Sevilla player. This leads to you guys getting frustrated and and breaking the concentration aswell as the flow of the game. But that's how they are at home, they will dive, cheat, go in as hard as they can, do basically whatever to frustrate the other team and kick em off the pitch.

Dani Alves had the most disgusting dive/cheat of the night, going down in massive pain from a challenge by a fellow Brasilian nontheless only to get off to the sidelines to get a taste of water and boom he is back on the field and running. **** even their D-line knows how to dive.

Don't be so down, after all you did only lose to divers and cheaters F.C.

True. Then again, we did play with a carling cup team. Sevilla did play a cruel game, and ref wasn't the best either. Oh well, I just hope this doesnt carry over into the premier league.

Pay Socrates no mind. According to him all of our success is the result cheating, and we are a dirty team despite being renowned for our entertaining style of football. I think it frustrates him that a poor team can have success. Even a match where we could have scored 4 or 5 (with better finishing) is nullified by one player's time wasting.

Oh, and when Guti dives, fakes an injury, kicks an opponent, and then protests his red, Socrates says nothing.

Arsenal fans, I would come in here and tease you, but I have nothing but respect for your team. I am proud of our win tonight because I honestly think you are the best team in the world (at the moment). I wish you the best of luck in the Premier and the CL.

The quicker we get rid of Stan Laurel aka Phil "The clown" Senderos the better. He should be at Derby not Arsenal.
