Yeah, we'll see. Oh...Thanks for nothing, United.Originally posted by LesClaypool:
Oh, and Chelsea is unbeatable.
1st yellow did him in. When someone takes a silly yellow like that it almost always results in a 2nd yellow later in the match -> unfortunately for United supporters (and everyone cheering against a City win) that 2nd yellow happened just a few mins later.Originally posted by LesClaypool:

Ruined a great match. What a putz!
Dawg, you and I both know that when January gets here, Wenger will hem and haw, twiddle his thumbs and toes, and then do....NOTHING! It's a never ending ordeal with him. He's been great for the club, but his time has truly passed. The comparison with BB is spot on, except we don't have a quality replacement in the fold.Originally posted by FSUdawg:
Wow, another terrible defensive effort today by Arsenal. Chambers was abused all day and Monreal didn't do much in the middle, especially on the game winning goal.
Watching Arsenal & Wenger is starting to remind me of watching FSU in the mid-2000's with Bobby. A legend at the helm and either too stubborn to make the necessary changes or he just doesn't see it. Granted Arsenal don't have many options since they are so thin at the back 4, but even the announcers & analysts all threw out ideas after & during the game today.
January cannot get here fast enough.
How? He was cheap, that's how. Always looking to underpay and underbid. We had shots at players like CR7, Kompany, even Messi, but he wouldn't spend. Instead, he finds some obscure Finnish second division player whom he annoints as the second coming of Henry. Sheesh.Originally posted by kooterridesagain:
I agree on Wenger, arsenal are an amazing club and stadium and although their parade was a blast I'm sure from reports last May, one cup wasn't worth another extension. His talent evaluation has been poor for years.
Makes me rethink how much say he really had in those old great teams of the past. Did he luck into that Henry era more than foster it?
How did he get steals in Viera, Pires, Overmars, Anelka, Campbell, Ljungburg, etcc, and then be so poor most of the last decade?

I read that this morning and it baffles my mind. Not only does he not have Giroud on the roster, but I am sure he will play the same group of guys that have been struggling the past month+.Originally posted by Manch.:
Oh boy, I see that Giroud will miss the rest of the UCL group matches because he was not listed on Arsenal's original 25 man UCL squad list! I know he is returning from injury early, but only 14 players can play in a game, that leaves 11 players on the roster list, and I am sure 5-6 are just roster fillers. I am sure someone could have been left off of that list and Giroud could have been added.
I would fire someone, immediately Get out of my f*cking building, right now! Pick a window, you are leaving right f*cking now!

Well, I was traveling yesterday to Florida for Thanksgiving in Clearwater and then up to Thassee tomorrow for the THE Game. Imagine my shock when I pulled in and found out The Arsenal had dispatched Dortmund 2-0. Great way to start the holiday season!

LOL. The likelihood of The Arsenal finishing 4th this year, OR the Peasants winning Europa is about as likely as me becoming a Gator fan.Originally posted by Rishi:
Arsenal catch a scheduling break next week as they play Saturday this week (today) and Liverpool plays tomorrow (Sunday) as well as mid-week in the Capitol One Cup.
And you're welcome as we (Chelsea) took everything out of Newcastle last week.
As an aside, I'll laugh hard if Arsenal finish 4th in the BPL, but miss out on UCL next year if eg. Liverpool wins the Europa - first year that winner of Europa automatically qualifies for UCL the following year.
Even when the Gunners went undefeated in the EPL, they only won 1/3 of the treble.Originally posted by LesClaypool:
Goons won't have to finish 4th since the CL champ gets an automatic berth too!
Go Gunners!!!!!
With our defense I don't see how we don't win the treble this year.
Good question, Manch. Both have been wracked with injuries, and that disease has spread to the offense as well in the case of The Arsenal.Originally posted by Manch.:

I think only one British team has ever won the treble, can't think of that team off of the top of my head.
Les, good call on the the CL winner getting an automatic CL birth, does that mean Arse and Liverpool are going to bump United and Southampton from next year's CL?
Who's defense has been hit worse with injuries, Arsenal or Man United?
Understatement of the year. I watch him at times in his interviews and I can tell he knows what he wants to say, in Dutch. However he just cannot translate it into English. He had trouble with the media a few weeks ago regarding an injury update, and I think the main issue was his English. If he would have made the comment in Dutch and let someone else translate for him, it probably would have made perfect sense.Originally posted by seminoleed:
Louis needs work on his English.
The 2nd half I was obviously joking about (although far from improbable - if you incl. Everton and Spurs). However, Arsenal finishing 4th I was not, United and Arsenal will finish 3rd and 4th (order to be determined).Originally posted by seminoleed:
