Heh, I'm sure we've got some silverware in us this season. Considering that we're still in all three cups and produce our best performances for big games we're gonna win something. Better hope it isn't the year we break our Euro duck.LMF^^ said:
How good were Cesc and Ade? Cesc carried our midfield all game, he cannot be 19 and doing this week in week out. Ade's workrate and overall contribution is unbelievable, he might look like Kanu but he'll achieve so much more than Kanu due to his attitude and endeavour. If Henry had a fraction of Ade's workrate these days he'd be ten times the player.waf said:
Impressed by Vidic too. He's excellent.

Thing is, Cesc does do it week in, week out.

Yeah, that's what I find so amazing, he literally carries a pretty featherweight midfield every week with performances like that. The best teenage player I've ever seen, his maturity is insane. He plays like Guardiola did when he was 30, what a player.Raginsheep said:
Really down about Robin's injury though, he was starting to look a fine player. Still, we have Henry,Ade,Beast and Theo who can play upfornt so we'll cope.
Also, today just reminded me of how good it feels to beat United. Nothing compares to seeing Ronnie cry and hearing the Slur whinge after the match. Where's matty been these few days? Can't wait to catch up on old times with him

Wow, the immaturity kicks in.... grow up kids. Those Man U fans, you only dropped a point against Chelsea this round, wow, lick the wounds and move on with your sizeable lead...
as for you Arse fans.... deadset, hasn't any one of you ever heard of just understating the obvious... you can call somebody all the names you want and carry on like fucksticks, but seriously, just typing the score with a after it tends to be much more effective.
oh and btw, LMF^^.... what was the score between Man U and Arsenal anyway?

It takes a lot to win a European Cup, last season you had a good run, although you may say you have a better squad, so do others.HeCtic said:Heh, I'm sure we've got some silverware in us this season.

Adebayor was easily one of the best players on the pitch, he really is something. I gotta hand it to the Arse, they just wanted it more. We threw it away, Fergie made the mistake of sitting back and resting on our lead. We were content for a draw, where Arsenal went all out for a victory. Credits to them.
Vidic was very good for us, however he may have been at fault for Henry's goal.
Oh well, no need to cry over one loss. It's disappointing that's for sure. You Goons paid a price too with Van Persie out with a metatarsal. He'll be missed that's for sure.

I'm by no means devastated by the loss, it's still a 6 point gap. I'm not sooking or anything, but I can't be too happy with such a defeat can I...?Raiks said:oh and btw, LMF^^.... what was the score between Man U and Arsenal anyway?
Oh and you Geordies should worry about your own problems, what was the score between you guys and Birmingham...?

i didn't get it why man u tried to time waste from the 70th minute, they really needed another goal . I think Larsson should have probably taken off a bit earlier. Anyway, i still don't get why Lucas would move to West Ham, even for 50000pounds a week, they'll probably get relegated and he will be sold again.

The thing which gives me so much confidence about us in Europe is not that our personel is better, but we are becoming a far superior team as the young players mature. People loved accusing us of being one-dimensional and saying we don't get stuck in but today showed if things aren't going great trying to pass it around a team we went more direct and got 2 goals from crosses.LMF^^ said:
Arsenal teams of old never did that and this team is capable of doing exactly that while also capable of turning it on like we used to do every week. I just think we're playing as a far superior team now and are capable of winning it.
I thought Rio was the one standing loose? He was even ballside as well, terrible defending.
Taking 3 points off you cunts is priceless. Robin's injury is a shame but it just means that guys like Ade, Beast and Theo will get more games. I'm sure that'll be adequate untill Robin gets back.
Ah, when karma comes calling.....:rofl:mat2154 said:
Magnusson told him that West Ham would be signing players that'll get West Ham into the Champions League. He aparently gave him a list of their targets for next season. Whether that list was a realistic one, especially after all the top players in the world have seen how the Tevez and Mascherano experiment went, is yet to be seen.
It'll be funny seeing the Hammers relegated I guess, shame for Curbishley though, I really like him.

I think I've already answered that. You don't see me throwing a tantrum every time Newcastle underperform (I don't think anyone would have the energy to undertake that task).Raiks said:
And as for Neill.... who the fuck needs ambition when you'd be getting paid $125,000 a week?

I was far from traumatised by the result, just merely disappointed, as all of us should feel. I've already said that on numerous occasions, so no need to keep baiting.
