Would have been a massive result if, but, it wasn't to be. Credit the lads for a great showing. Just short and now it's curtains for this CL campaign.

:lol: at the fact the spuds supporters can come here straight away for this game but have been very reluctant to be seen for the last two weeks :lol:

Concentrate on getting the seat back those muppet yids have kept nice and warm for us all season in 3rd now :lol:

say what u want, but Arsene has turned the team around in last 4-5 weeks!
Respect to the gaffer

Unlucky for the gunners not to qualify, but Milan should of made it a certainty!

The team has certainly turned things around. As for RVP, i think he is 50/50 whether he stays or goes. Like i say every year Wenger must spend and must spend big if we have any chance of keeping him!

Gervinho had a deflected shot saved....Sent the keeper the wrong way and he saved with his legs, amazing save, Van Persie then followed up by trying to chip him and he saved again. God only knows how RVP did not send that ball blasting into the net. Apart from that Milan parked the bus and we couldnt break them down.

Arsenal had to open up in the second half and Milan should have had a few themselves if you want to talk about if and buts.

How Nocerino played the ball to the keeper from three yards only he knows.

A top class striker to partner RVP, another midfielder and i would say a decent right and left back. I think Vermaelen and Kocielny are coming good.

Robin will be migrating to sunnier climes this summer I think.

Its looking that way. Im hoping Wenger has learnt his lesson after the departure of Cesc and Nasri and will use Arsenals healthy bank account!

I'm guessing because RvP is the only one who knows, but he doesn't strike me as someone who's overly bothered about more money. He could have easily left any time in the last 5 years and got a whopping pay increase. I must therefore assume he's either Wengers lovechild or he's interested in trophies. Ain't gonna get any of those with the Arsenal.

I don't think he'll leave, and to be honest i think another striker will stifle him, That's why an older reliable striker like Henry is perfect for Arsenal because he can sit on the bench and not be too worried.

Possibly, i supppose when you have someone scoring at a rate like he does everything is all good. However if he gets injured it scares me to think that awful Morrocan is our next best striker!

Are there any young strikers hanging around these days? At least your club is likely to bloody use them!

Where will he go?! couldn't picture the skipper in any other shirt, success is coming, as long as we have a great market in the summer. Trust the gaffer he knows what's up now!

superb effort this morning from the lads

Change the record, you've been saying that for the last 7 years. I can't see him playing for another Premiership club but I wouldn't be surprised to see him reunited with Cesc.

I see you've signed Lukas Podolski to replace him :wink:

What you talking about NOC. Worry bout your own backyard. How can one sign a contracted player outside the transfer window.
Disagree with ur RVP comment. If he is to go anywhere, I would suggest the Italian leagues. He has hinted this before.....

Perhaps I should have said effectively signed. It's all been agreed etc etc. As for Robin, if Barca and Inter came calling, where would you go? No brainer.

Podolski will look OK alongside Chamakh :lol:

Defoe cannot look good next to anybody. But jags enough goals per season to warrant another contract.
A striker is exactly what the spuds lack.....

fickleness lol think you're talking to the wrong person about that...i've stood by Wenger this whole season, even during the bashing times he has received, i'm totally against the WOB (wenger out brigade) yes they do exist!!!

I say he knows what's up now, purely because he has realised his mistakes, in keeping Chamakh, signing Park etc not getting sufficient enough attacking prowess!

Podolski is just the start!
fair point?! if you don't believe so, tell me your thoughts.
