Ajax Treesdown Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 Benni McCarthy is a hero What a great week to be an Arsenal hater Oh well! Fack Orf!
MC Prussian Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 Too... much... fun... Very tense days for ARSEnal glory hunters, eh? You can bet on Wenger taking the piss out on some random bloke again. Either that or the league. "blblblblb... to many games per week... blblblb... players are tired... blblblb... others are injured... blblblb... this schedule is sadistic...blblblb... BLAME THE LEAGUE... blbllbb... BLAME MOURINHO... blblblb... the referees are against us...blblblb". Friggin' French crybaby.
Geo V Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 The media love Arsenal at times because they play great football which is fair enough but they have been overhyped since I can remember. They have done well under Wenger to go from that crap George Graham used to get them playing to what we see today but one thing to point out about recent history, they won nothing last season and look set to win fook all this season! I admit potentially they could become the best club in the world but I have heard in yesteryear that Emile Heskey, Paul Kitson, Matt Piper, Julian Joachim and others would become amazing talents from our squads. Only one kind of had a succesful career but even that never peaked (Heskey).

Geo V Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 Looks like someones managed to bag themeselves a place on quote of the week by comparing Paul Kitson to Cesc Fabregas. I havent featured since the first week so its about time I did. Im obviously not comparing players but simply suggesting that potential isnt always fulfilled. Fabregas is a regular now and my quote is aimed at the younger ones who arent first teamers but already thought of as the finished product. The other things to take into consideration are injuries and if they will stay! Reyes was regarded as a superstar until he decided he wanted to go home. Who is to say that Fabregas or others may not want to leave in the future? Also who is to say that injuries wont be playing a part in some of these players careers?? Lets go on about them once they start winning things and they are the finished article hey??

Its the quantity of quality youngsters they have who can already compete with the likes of Chelsea and Spurs, they have shit loads of good young players and they have a bit of cash as well.
lookwhaticando Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 Eboue has rightfully been handed a three match ban for violent conduct after punching Bridge. So that's Adebayor, Eboue and Toure all serving three match bans for Arsenal as a result of that fracas.

Joe. Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 Good to know, although Adebayore and Toure only have two left after last night don't they? Yes I think that's right. The only player they will greatly miss I think is Toure. Without him their defence is very vulnerable.
lildave3 Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 Yes I think that's right. The only player they will greatly miss I think is Toure. Without him their defence is very vulnerable. Without a doubt. Although they will miss Adebayor, who offers them something completely different up front.

Geo V Posted 2 March 2007 Posted 2 March 2007 Its the quantity of quality youngsters they have who can already compete with the likes of Chelsea and Spurs, they have shit loads of good young players and they have a bit of cash as well. Its a famous old pub arguement that we had years ago and that you could probably have today when it comes to first teams and reserve sides. There is no guarantee that Englands seniors would be able to simply turn up and waltz the u-21 team as you would imagine just because of there stature. No team has a devine right to just turn up and win and thats why shocks occur in cup competitions all the time. Arsenal are lucky enough to have a big enough squad to play the so called kids against the likes of Liverpool, Spurs and Chelski but because they did well it doesnt mean that they would win the league with them! There are too many variables to make an incisive guessimation on what an outcome of a game would be but to me the fact that clubs know you are playing a 2nd team usually means that the first teams who they are playing against arent up for it and as enthusiastic as they would be had they played Arsenals first team. Even the atmosphere amongst the crowd is different in some cases when you know you arent playing against the first team. It was like that at Liverpool anyway. Once again I`d like to hold judgement on these wonderkids until they kick on and do something in there careers. That doesnt include the likes of Baptista, Fabregas, Toure, Senderos and Almunia who despite being youngish have a wealth of experience between them.
lildave3 Posted 7 March 2007 Posted 7 March 2007 First shot on target aswell I see it was Alex aswell. One at each end.
Milky Posted 7 March 2007 Posted 7 March 2007 I see it was Alex aswell. One at each end. That really does happen far too often. Seems too anyway.
Phube Posted 7 March 2007 Author Posted 7 March 2007 Those empty seats with 5 mins to go made me all upset!!! lol :laugh:
