Phube Posted 1 March 2009 Author Posted 1 March 2009 Theyll still finish 4th.Far better side than Villa.
Ultra Posted 1 March 2009 Posted 1 March 2009 Gotta admire Villa's away form, impressive that is. Just as well, their home form is p!sspoor - fewer home wins than Stoke. After today, they need a result at Man City on Wednesday - otherwise Arsenal may have a sniff at 4th place after all.

Agreed, thing with Man City is, which makes it a difficult game for Villa, you don't know what team is going to turn up. They (Man City) are so inconsistent - It could go either way.
Phube Posted 18 March 2009 Author Posted 18 March 2009 Just what I'd expect from Arsénal!! BBC News FA probes Fabregas 'spitting' rowThe Football Association has written to Hull's managerial team over allegations that Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas spat at Tigers assistant manager Brian Horton. BBC Sport understands the FA wants City manager Brown and Horton's accounts of events following Tuesday's stormy FA Cup quarter-final. The match officials did not mention the alleged incident in their match report from the Emirates Stadium. Spanish midfielder Fabregas has strenuously denied the allegation. Brown claimed the incident with Fabregas, who did not play in the game due to injury but joined the Arsenal celebrations on the pitch after the final whistle, happened in the tunnel following the 2-1 defeat. And Horton said on Wednesday: "I am speaking to the League Managers Association and want to take this further." Whichever way you want to look at it, he addressed that spitting incident at my assistant manager who has managed probably 1200 games in his career. Disgraceful act Hull boss Phil Brown on Cesc Fabregas An LMA statement confirmed Horton had made contact, adding: "As the incidents fall firmly within the jurisdiction of the Football Association, who are making their investigations in the prescribed manner, neither the LMA nor Brian Horton will be making any further comment at this time." The FA has written to Hull asking for their version of events after neither referee Mike Riley nor any of the other match officials mentioned anything of such an incident in their report. Hull manager Brown told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Brian will receive the full support of the people of Hull, including my chairman. "We'll go down the right channels and support Brian Horton." The Football Association is awaiting the referee's report and any possible formal complaint from Hull's coaching staff. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that he did not witness the incident, while Fabregas has denied the spitting allegations. "I categorically deny that I spat at anybody after the match," said the Spanish international in a statement. "I have never done this in my whole career on the pitch, so why would I do it when I am not even playing? "I can understand the frustration of losing a game to a dubious goal, that has happened to me many times in my career as well, but this is not the fault of me or any of the Arsenal players." Brown has questioned whether Fabregas should have been allowed on the pitch, adding that he thought his attire of jeans and a puffa jacket was unsuitable and that the Arsenal captain had behaved in an aggressive manner. "The pictures in the national papers verify the aggression he was showing towards players and staff after the game. I could go on but I'm not one for crying over spilt milk," he added. "I then witnessed him going down the tunnel and turning round and spitting at my assistant manager's feet. "Whichever way you want to look at it, he addressed that spitting incident at my assistant manager who has managed probably 1200 games in his career. Disgraceful act." Brown also revealed he was unhappy with an apparent lack of courtesy shown to him by Wenger in the clubs' two league meetings this season. "It just shows how we've got up the noses of the Arsenal hierarchy. "He wouldn't shake my hand when we beat them fairly 2-1 at the Emirates, he wouldn't shake my hand when they beat us, fairly, 3-1 at the KC Stadium."
Ultra Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Yep, once again the gooners' class is on display for all to see.
martyn Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Phil Brown is coming out of this worse in my eyes, with his offcentric ranting and raving (the proven lie about not shaking hands for example, or talking about Cesc's dress sense not being appropriate ffs).....i think people are starting to see he's an egocentric prat. Still, if Cesc did spit at Horton, then he should be punished accordingly
Uncle Albert Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Fabregas should of planted a fuck of greeny on Phil Brown's head.
Darkzzz_ Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Wenger annoys the hell out of me at times but Phil Brown hasn't been doing himself any favours really. He moans as much as anyone.
Ultra Posted 20 April 2009 Posted 20 April 2009 Wenger's team selection might not have been as extreme as Sir Alex's, but was still quite strange. Why were Arshavin and Nasri both left on the bench?
Edmund Posted 20 April 2009 Posted 20 April 2009 Nicely done Mr. Fabianski :D Looks like a massive liability. Constantly running out of the box like that. Never makes me confident when you see a acrobatic keeper in goal.
Ultra Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Gooners go to Anfield tonight without half their first-choice team. They could be in for a battering.
Corky Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Gooners go to Anfield tonight without half their first-choice team.They could be in for a battering. Four great chances, four goals. That's how to do it.
Finnegan Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Liverpool's defence have utterly, UTTERLY melted over the last few games. Fair play to Arshavin, I was one of the first to call his transfer over-hyped but he has been good since his arrival.
Craig Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Lets all laugh at Arsenal :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: I jynxed it.
Corky Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Another breathtaking game !! Liverpool don't seem to do dull matches against big opponents.
