Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.
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

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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!

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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!

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.SPURS18 wrote:Three nil up at half time what happend in the second half? Any decent chances

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.Ian_Wright wrote: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.

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

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.marado wrote:ok, so realistically......whom do u think Arsenal should pursue in the summer?

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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!

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.Ian_Wright wrote:Its looking that way.

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.delfino_1936 wrote: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.

I see you've signed Lukas Podolski to replace him

Disagree with ur RVP comment. If he is to go anywhere, I would suggest the Italian leagues. He has hinted this before.....

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
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.Chaos wrote:What you talking about NOC.

Podolski will look OK alongside Chamakh

Re: Arsenal 2011/12
Defoe cannot look good next to anybody. But jags enough goals per season to warrant another contract.

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!!!BowTiesAreCool wrote:"Knows what's up now!"
Jesus Christ, the fickleness of fans.
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.
