[Ch3tan]

He has scored 19 goals despite not being first choice hasn't he?

He has been first choice.

 

[Scouse]

He has been first choice.

Lets see who starts against City...

Not Torres, because rafa loves rotating.

Not Torres, because rafa loves rotating.

Not Torres, because he's not in their strongest lineup. He didn't rotate Torres much at Liverpool - he kept him for PL and CL games but left him out of the rest.

Ba'll start unless he's injured.

So, Bayern v Real in the CL final then? I really hope its not Real v Barca

 

[eksdee]

Dortmund beat Real in the group stages don't forget. They're certainly the underdogs but it's by no means cut and dry. Would love to see Dortmund in the final. I'd also say that Bayern have been miles better than Barca this season, and most certainly on recent form they're the better team.

Utterly disgusting. Regardless of who she was, what she did and what she stood for, you should have respect for the dead. The lad recording probably wasn't even alive when she was PM and that little boy with the blond hair in the background surely wasn't.

Tomorrow in London will be well interesting!

 

[caLLous]

Mertesacker suspended on a double gameweek, what a legend.

 

[soze]

Podolski is meant to now be part of a deal Jovetic to Arsenal in the summer. 15m Euros and Podolski. That is meant to the the first of £120m worth of transfers this summer. I think Dien is starting most of the rumors.

 

[CorNokZ]

Laudrup still has it in him

this referee must be an arsenal fan

Really I though we had a solid penalty appeal turned down?

Edit - Just seen that we have scored a late penalty, I take it that it was soft?

 

[megadave]

I didn't see any solid penalty shouts, just that corner that was a goal kick and a penalty that was absoutely nothing

 

[megadave]

And an offside goal to boot

Maybe not the ref, but the linesman sure is shit.

 

[soze]

LOL 3 goals in the last 5 minutes

 

[Lethul]

Seriously, Reading keeper have performance of the year Why does this always happen when I watch games

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It was a clear penalty and we had another one turned down earlier. The lino gave it, the ref wasn't going to.

 

[soze]

1 point clear of Spuds on equal games now. Tuesday is a massive game. It is getting interesting Just a shame Spuds did not have a game this week it was the last chance for the European hangover to fuck them over.

 

[megadave]

If we win our semi-finals we'll play 12 games in 36 days before the end of the season, I think we're screwed

How many players will Arsenal sell to raise £120m?

 

[soze]

Depends who's buying them. Spuds love a shit Arsenal striker they can have Park, Chamakh and Bendtner for £120m no problem.

 

[soze]

Not sure who the cunt hole on commentary is on game of the day but he does not seem to like us very much.

 

[soze]

Lmao I love that. Did he pull his shirt? Yes. Is that a foul? Yes. The it does not matter how far away he was. He had some balls and made a call that was correct. Shut the fuck up about the ref not giving it.

And late goals? Fucking good you start time wasting at 56 minutes you deserve everything you get.

It could have gone differently. Giroud probably had as much shirt as the defender did. And Theo was off side, but Theo got called off when he was not and did not get a penalty that he should off so it all evens out.

 

[Embattle]

How many players will Arsenal sell to raise £120m?

The Team, or for us 2.5 Torres.

 

[soze]

I think our players could be worth

£30+m
Wilshere (If they are saying £25 for Ince he is easy worth £30m)

£20-£30m
Cazorla
Walcott (Passport)

£10-£20m
Szczęsny
Vermaelen
Koscielny
ArtetaPodolski
Giroud
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Ramsey
Monreal
Jenkinson
Gervinho
Gibbs
