Season Saver!

Damn that it had to come just in time for the Liverpool games.

If Chelsea is alive (in the title race), then Arsenal is alive..............

 

[Seán D]

IMO, Arsenal shouldn't take many positives out of the game. They were lucky Bolton handed them the game. A Better team would have won by more than 2.

 

[Filipower]

yes, that's because they were playing against 10...

great spirit shown by Arsenal nevertheless, they may not make it all the way this year, but they certainly showed that despite United's team and Abramovic's money, Arsenal can still make one hell of a challenge

 

[MaestroZidane]

They played the majority of the game with ten men.. and came back to win it. It does tell you that they are not ready to give up in this race. Unfortunately for them, Now the have to hope that ManU slip in in the remaining games.

wet field, AWAY, haven't beaten this opposition AWAY in 6 years.....trailing 2-0 at half-time, 10 men, 2nd half was one big positive. There were many positives to take away...........lesser teams would have tanked after 45 minutes. Infact, even some BETTER teams would have tanked....

Hleb=Penalty

Yes Hlebs was clearly a pk while Babel (was it Babel?) was not so clear a pk, but i would've never broken a central defender partnership, i still don't understand why Wenger made Toure play at RB, i would've kept Gallas and Toure as CBs and Eboue as RB which was a natural position for him, Senderos was horrible.

i will never understand why having Eboue Wenger insists on playing him on the right wing and forcing Toure to play RB, you gotta give Walcott a chance or a real winger/midfielder, Toure didn't work as RB and Senderos was terrible.

 

[SAMUELKATALAN]

Hello I am a Liverpool Fan i give my respects for al Arsenal fans this team made a great effort to pass but you'll lost the oportunity at Emirates, Anfield is an other world so you have to do something really great to defeat Liverpool in there. I am happy for the great example about what soccer means by both teams. Well lets see what will happend against Chelsea

 

[arsenal_boi]

total bull ******* ****
two **** calls from the refs over both legs which cost us the tie which we should have won

 

[Gunnersgoal22]

Let's be honest, if we don't win tomorrow we have no chance at the title.

When we went to Old Tratford last year I thought we had no chance, but we played our game and caught Utd by surprise.

I'm optimistic, but if we win the match I think the case will be more Utd loosing it than us winning.

 

[pede54]

why not compromise and go for a nice draw then?

 

[Zakov]

well, pede, it'd be better for us if the Arse win but I'd take a draw nevertheless....hehe, i like these situations where our rivals play each other but we still have a job to do against Wigan......

 

[Help?]

Hleb was really owning United today. Lucky for us he doesn't know how to shoot.

 

[Filipower]

man I'm really getting sick and tired of watching Arsenal raping everyone and then losing the game...I hope Wenger can pull them naive youngster minds together for next season..it's just the psychological aspect that's lacking at the moment...

 

[Zakov]

suprised by Wenger putting Song in the centreback position, he made a mistake which almost cost a goal, should've played Kolo there instead and put Eboue at rightback and Walcott in front of him......
too bad, but there goes the season for yer, Gooners........

 

[pede54]

Yeah and what a crying shame it is.

 

[Filipower]

as long as you're happy, pede

but you still haven't won anything yet either..

 

[pede54]

Whether we win anything or not Fili, I will still be a happy chappie.

We will still finish higher in the league than the Arse (again), we have made it through to the semi's of the CL which also the Arse couldn't do. They have a captain who is not far away from the funny farm, a squad that is so inadequate in numbers that it's funny, a coach who would rather make the clubs shareholders ( he is one by the way), a sackload more profit than win any silverware and a team of pansies who think that because they TRY to play pretty football, that the world owes them something.

Man...thats why I find it so easy to laugh because from top to bottom, Arsenal football club and their misguided mission to show us all how football should be played (yeah right), are just a joke, and every word Wenger has spoken since yesterday's pathetic capitulation to the Mancs, has been comedy gold. He blames it all on everything BUT HIMSELF. Does anyone listen to him anymore apart from goons?......Nope.

Wenger should consider stand up comedy, he is made for it.
"Hey, did you hear the one about the football club who couldn't win fu<k all for three whole seasons?

 

[Filipower]

He blames it all on everything BUT HIMSELF.

I seem to recall the exact same approach being used by a nice young Portuguese lad who was in London for a couple of seasons, I think you know him
