I'm glad nightmare is over 
! Lots to be learned from the Barça game, and in that sense it a good thing we played them just to learn how it's really done. We are definitely going to have to address some things this summer. For example yesterday Barcelona was missing their first choice CB pairing but the replacements were Rafa (say what you want about him... he came through yesterday) and Milito. Should that be us we would have been with Sol and well...tweety 
. We have to improve on squad depth and quality (I've done it on FM how hard can it be? ). Props to the boys especially Clichy and Bendtner.
Anyhoo still a little matter to settle in 7 days :sKIp_E:
UCL next season? You're having a laugh!

I know it's just 2-0, but now it's 'Arsenal can't beat the top teams, or any team with European aspirations'.
Our main rival my ass. Silvestre is shocking. I don't think even Portsmouth would take him on a free transfer with Arsenal paying his wages.
If City beat you, they stand a decent chance of pipping you for 3rd, actually. And we know they're going to beat you.

Oh please, we absolutely can beat teams with European aspirations, we were very unlucky to be trailing after the first half, and that's with an extremely depleted squad.
BOTH CB's out, our DM out, our best player and best striker out, Arshavin and the list goes on.
Granted we lack depth, but that's a different issue from "we can't beat teams with European aspirations" and btw we did beat Tottenham, Villa, and Liverpool twice earlier this year so you're talking ****.
Yes I think we very well may lose to City, they're bang in form and racing for fourth, while we have a depleted squad with nothing to play for, but this is not a case of us folding against any side with real quality.

Now I'm glad I spent most of the evening in the hospital...who the hell is Danny Rose ?!
Sol Campbell was incredible, I was worried about him before the game but then he is a seasoned pro...his career speaks for him.
RVP...I love the guy! I remember in past seasons when people used to slate him for being perma-crocked but even if he misses 30 games in a season...the 8 games he plays will make it all worthwhile (extreme exaggeration, I know).
I really feel there should be some kind of mini-cull during off-season, few names I think should go imo : Almunia (I swear he did the same thing with the Rose goal as he did with Rat-face's goal last season), Slivestre (need I say more?), Eduardo (harsh but...) I'm sure I can add a few more but I'll save the 'post mortem' for now.
You made a similar comment saying Arsenal does not deserve to be in the race or something to that effect. I disagree because in the end it doesn't matter which of the 19 you beat (except for bragging rights) so long as you have the most points at the end. 2006-2007 we beat United H/A Liverpool H plus drew with Chelsea in both games...the best record against big teams that season...yet ended up in 4th, a position we deserved, why? 'Cause we were not as good in the 33 other games.
vs. Aston Villa [3-0]
vs. Tottenham Hotspurs [3-0]
Anyway congratulations Sperz it took you 11 years and 4 (5 if you count Tommy V) to get this win...here's to 11 or more years of you having only the DVD (or whatever video format) to remember it with.
EDIT: just got this text "Five of Arsenal's six shots on target against Spurs came after Robin van Persie came on in the 68th minute."
Call him whatever you like this guy's injury is the reason we slowed down this season.

Winning the Prem should mean that you're the best team in the league. A team that has proven time and time again to be worse than it's major competitors doesn't deserve that honor.
So out of of 11 matches against these teams, Arsenal have won 4? 2 against a team that is in deeper crisis, and still, only one win away, that win being against this team.
And don't give me any injuries bull****, we've lost lots of players too. The whole point about a 38-match tournament is that you need to have a great squad. Arsenal have a great first-11, not a great squad.

They've gotten better than last season. If they had Van Persie still fit, I'm sure they would've been stronger. I don't think they're good enough for the top spot right now, same as you. But let's see how their players develop in 3-4 years. If they're still at Arsenal that is.

actually I looked this up last week. I thought united had the most injuries turns out we were just unfortunate with the way ours came i.e. in group losing back 4 etc.
Arsenal have had a lot more injuries then any of the other teams. Check it out.
Arsenal - 76
Chelsea - 51
Man Utd - 51
Man C - 51
Spurs - 46
Everton - 44
Liverpool - 44
Villa - 39
Not that it should be an excuse... but you get the picture, tough old year for them.
