Lost on penalties AGAIN

Exactly like last year. Top of the table at start of December. Lost to Burnley on penalties in same round of Carling Cup, and it was the beginning of the end for Big Sleepy Phil.

Now is Ancelotti's acid test. Would he allow the team face the bitters with the same morale or would he do something different? Who knows?

Arsenal management is faithful towards Wenger, but i wonder how long he can get away with the phrase "We are a young team". There were chants of Wenger should go at the start of this season from the fans. But the management put that to rest by saying Wnger is staying. From 2000 i have heard the same thing, the years that they won the league, everything was fine and dandy! But to be a powerhouse, you need experience and youth mix. They only experienced mid fielder in their team is Fabregas, who turns up and performs every match. This is no offense meant to the Arsenal fans though. Its just something the Arsenal management should look at. After the Emirates, there is a financial crunch and results count more now than it did before. Better results would definitelty mean more money.

Group G, E, D, B look like potential Groups of Death.

 

[thewisecrab]

Too many groups of death

 

[dreamcatcher]

B isnt close to being a group of death. G is undoubted the toughest group. Cant wait to see drogba fight it out with Ronaldo.

 

[thewisecrab]

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Eboue is the one to watch out for.Imagine Eboue lifting the World Cup

 

[dreamcatcher]

Yea imagine. Eboue being mobbed by the toure brothers, drogba and cisse.
Who do you think shall miss out from Group G? Brazil ivory or portugal?

For me its portugal, given their "stars" dont seem to perform well in international fixtures.
