Despite this siggy, you frequent the forum too much now. Go away and concentrate on your exams. Forget replying about Liverpool. Season is over for your club, so divert your energies to some good things.

Great choice IMO.

 

[XTerminator]

Bergkamp=greatest thing ever to happen to arsenal.period.would be happy if he returns to the PL.

 

[Krow]

I'd say that Wenger was/is/will be as important to us.

Not feeling optimistic about this
Chelsea know how to win big games and they are at full strength.
However,It must be said that the Grove has really looked a fortress this season.

"There is a big question mark about him at the moment," said Wenger. "Today I cannot say that William Gallas will play, unfortunately. The ankle should be alright but the eye is still very, very, very swollen.

"He wears contact lenses and at the moment he would not get them in. We hope on Sunday it will be better. He is not comfortable but I am optimistic because we still have three days. It is Thursday today and we play on Sunday afternoon so, we are confident he can make it. Arshavin is OK. He was shocked but he is OK."

Don't think a swollen eye will stop big willy from playing against Chelsea.

 

[XTerminator]

He was shocked but he is OK.

imo grove presents a unique opportunity as away che have been vulnerable given the opposition presses well

*sigh* Rahim! I know exactly why red_devil replied to you in *that* fashion. :/ Indeed
As for our finishing our season, there's FA Cup and UEFA Cup and WE WILL FINISH BEFORE YOU LOT, you will see that in May.

^Now I know why a genuine concern of mine regarding your exams, is mis-read by you. Thanks once again.

The greatest thing to have ever happened to Arsenal is the Highbury run of games, with Bergkamp, Viera and Henry bringing the team to sublime touch, not Bergkamp alone. That Arsenal team was freakin' awesome.

 

[XTerminator]

yea my fave was bergy so..

btw ur siggy abt cliff sounds n00bish...though he ftws ntl.i wonder if u have tried other genres.

 

[thewisecrab]

lol . . Cliff pwns all. Atleast as a bass player (I meant that in my siggy)

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Just came across the match preview on Chelsea's official site.I was astounded by the cheap digs at Arsenal.I have never seen a club write such kind of sh1t on their OFFICIAL site.

Their humbling defeat last weekend at Sunderland brought Arsenal's first blank of the season and ended a 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

In a media conference after that defeat the Arsène Wenger revealed a hitherto concealed grasp of Anglo-Saxon, using a word for which lesser mortals (Didier Drogba) have been banned.

His unprofessorial reaction came in response to suggestions that his players will aim to be fit for next summer's World Cup. No doubt there was even more effing and blinding after England hopeful Kieran Gibbs was crocked again against Standard, adding to a lengthy injury list. Robin van Persie, Gael Clichy, Johan Djourou, Abou Diaby and Nicklas Bendtner were already ailing.

With the pressure building after four barren seasons the Frenchman might relish the chance to restore pride with a good performance against the league leaders.

It's often said that a football club's ambitions come down with the Christmas decorations. All too frequently at Arsenal, the dream ends when most households are still struggling to find the festive lights in the loft.

If that wasn't bad enough

Although Vermaelen had added goals at one end of the pitch, he has done nothing to diminish this problem at the other. Sunderland's winner arose from the Dutchman missing a corner ball and then failing to react quickly enough to the knockdown in the box.

The centre-back has been outjumped during goals for Blackburn, Manchester City and Wolves, as well as Sunderland, along with several near-misses. Will he be the latest in a long line of Arsenal defenders to be Drogba-ed? He can ask Philippe Senderos, still on Arsenal's books, how that feels.

He is Belgian you ****s and you call yourself an official site.

Nice stat on Van Persie

Since the loss of the Dutchman - who makes a habit of popping up in unflagged offside positions against Chelsea - Wenger has struggled to find a replacement who can make his preferred set-up work.

Shows the mentality of a small club punching above their weight.

Thanks for your concern, but the fact is you slated Liverpool with that post very unreasonably IMHO. The season isn't over till it's really over.

Well Chelsea is like a poor man who has won a lottery, has the riches but not to class to actually be affluent.

 

[thewisecrab]

That article was a bit wierd, but which site doesn't try to manipulate words in it's teams favour? That's not an excuse for the "dutchman" remark though

I think it'll be SuperTom vs Drogba. That'll be an interesting showdown. An amazing (and really young) defender with loads of pace vs A workhouse who tears through with sheer power (who, sadly, is more attracted to gravity sometimes) . .

Another battle would be off the midfield, I hope Lampard would be fit, otherwise it would be Essien vs Fab. Too hard to choose, though Fab edges out IMO.

Two of my favourite teams, too hard to choose.

BTW, Gallas may not be fit, while Lampard is still doubtful.
