Just saw the Tackle on Hleb and it looks bad...his knee sort of went out sideways at a wierd angle.He was subbed b4 play even restarted, so there was no doubt he was coming off.


Yeah, I was watching and the commentators on Star Sports were playing it down so much, it looked horrid though. He really should have got a red for that imo, it was such a dangerous challenge.

lol wtf?! Guily takes the ball with his hands in the penalty area. Red card and Ibra does 1-0. :lol

Half time, to clarify:
* Ibra has open goal and is going to put the ball in the net.
* Guily think it's a smart idea to be a goalie and saves the shot with his hands.
* Guily gets red card, and Ibrahimovic gets another chance with a penalty kick.
* Ibrahimovic scores, Guily still sent off.

The top teams in Serie A, one of the most important games this year - and he does that after 30 minutes.

Yeah, none of it matters though. Even if Inter win the Scudetto it really means nothing to me. With their lineup they just should be CL contenders.
 
Results have been good for us in the last few games, but our performances have been rubbish. fergie's been saying that we're playing very well but we cant finsih, but its not just finishing thats a problem; everything in general is pretty poor compared to last year. Even if he's said that finsihing is a problem, why isnt he doing anything about it? Saha's fit to play and he;s shown just how much of a difference he can make, so why is fergie insisting on keeping him on the bench.
 
Wow the highlights of Portsmouth match was hilarious at times.

The crowd was cheering every time someone touched the ball :lol
 
Nice one ronaldo. I thought he took that a bit too far, but he was fine. He's given us quite an undeserved lead
 
That goal looks like its delyaed saha coming on, but it shouldnt. We still need someone up there to score and finsih off this game.

Manyoo truly are the new Chelsea.
Yeah we are playing bad and somehow getting results. I guess I can't complain too much as long as we are getting points. Sooner or later we will start playing well again ( in attack, our defense has been pretty solid so far)


It seems like you Gooners forget that teams go through bad spells... you guys are playing amazing ball but it's a long season.

I'm learning that the hard way this year. I thought it sucked that Bolton played horrible but got results under Allardyce and wished we changed that around. Well we're playing nicer football but I want some points :(

yeah you would think that arsenal fans wouldnt forget about teams going through bad spells. They went through one for three years.
 
I dont know hwo long we can keep this up. We're playing badly in our games but we've managed to win, but eventually there will be a team thats going to make us pay for playing so badly.

Some things in the team need to change. Firstly Giggs needs to get out of the first team. This isnt the first time this season he;s been so dire; he's been crap in most of our games this season. I dont know why we keep him on.

Secondly we need to do something about our upfront. Him and rooney are far too similar and putting them upfront isnt going to work. We constantly kick the ball up ther pitch, but its pointless when you;ve got those two upfront. We'll have to choose between one of the two to play with saha because I dont see the rooney/ tevez partnership working. Maybe it could have worked a lot better if they both played together in pre-season, but as things are now, they're not really clicking.

I completely agree with this Giggs has been awful. Also Scholes is not doing anything in midfield, sometimes I forget he's even there.. this is what I would try ...


---------------Van Der Sar-----------------------

Brown-------Ferdinand-----Vidic---------Evra--

-Tevez/Nani--Hargreaves--Carrick----Ronaldo

------------Rooney--------------------------------
-------------------------Saha----------------------
 
that was a pretty boring game though...and burmingham kept attacking, they deserved a draw or something. both games were fucking boring today...

I know that we'll have poor spells, that's why I am annoyed that Man Utd are getting wins in theirs

I know if Liverpool or Arsenal play badly 9/10 times the score reflects that, unlike Chelsea and Man U.
 
Oh oh it's magic, you knoooooooow

He's just trying to say it's unfair. Bastards.
I know I just think it's funny. Like it's somehow our fault we are getting points while playing shitty. I think its got the gooners in an uproar because they are playing so good and we are playing so bad and yet we are only seperated by two points.


Can't we all just enjoy the fact that Chelsea is 7th...:lol
 
Yo guys my Bulls are playing against Salt Lake on FSC tonight. 7:30 EST maybe you can catch a good game or....maybe even me.

2 points and a game in hand, kthx.
:D It's ok don't worry Im sure Le Arsenel will be able to somehow sustain this level of play all season long. Plus Im also sure we won't find our grove and run away with the title again. :D
