The Spirit of '89 is Here

Discussion in 'Arsenal' started by Robin van Bergkamp, Mar 12, 2012.

  1. I thought it was a pretty committed play by our team. That they never gave up all the way to the end brought a very deserved three points. More of the same and for the next 900+ minutes would be good <ok>

    The skill of 2004 is here more importantly <ok>

    Fantastic performance. Rosicky is the man. Best team in england right now <ok> 3rd is there for the taking and then we dont have an inconvient play off next year. Lets make it ours and then win the title next year with some clever additions.

  3. I'm probably older than you <laugh>


    Good game, even better spirit from our side. A little more purpose in finishing and we'll have the job done.

  5. Latterly one would have expected this side to have thrown away the opportunity but tonight they needed to put daylight between ourselves and The Toons. Well they did just that. Now if they can just grab an advantage on Spurs and Chelski and it would be job done for 3rd place.

    The last of our hard run of fixtures next: away to everton. But plenty of time to prepare when they are playing twice before that game. If we win that then things will start looking very good

    We are showing the fighting spirit we had seasons ago !! Belief and considerable skill- it is finally coming together.

    This is different to the pre christmass run we had, which papered over the cracks. This is proper good form because we are playing fantastic stuff and beating good sides. Not scraping past dire sides at home like on the previous good run <ok> It is coming together. Surely 3rd is there for us now. Would be an improvement on last year.

    Cant believe we flogged nasri for £25m. He wouldnt get in our side right now. Thanks again city. They have paid for our stadium basically <laugh>

    It's all down to that new manager we got...oh wait....

    It's all down to our dropping Theo...oh wait....

    It's all down to our getting a new board...oh wait...

    It's all down to our not playing a passing (tippy tappy) game...oh wait...

    In fact I would say a large part of it is down to ramsey getting injured and wenger having to play rosicky. And getting our defence back

    Rosicky is really flourishing, the way he gets away from an opposition player in midfield, his quick little turns and runs and passes are top class. All of a sudden he brings directness and aggression to our game.
    And what a difference a full squad makes. Wilshere is the only player we are really missing at the moment. One negative from this game - my enthusiasm for Gervinho is slowly evaporating. The guy is one of the worst finishers I have ever seen in Arsenal attack.

  13. LOL I shoulda expected that but I was thinkin' that we should really be challenging for first. Instead we're looking for third place........ <wah>

    I still have those razor blades handy

    Any chance we could catch citeh? They aren't exactly playing well, they haven't for a while, we should beat them at the emirates, plus ManUre should beat them in the derby.

    It's a shame we had those 3 poor spells this season, we'd probably be in with a shot at the league if we were able to show this resilience and determination all the time.

    Nah mate. Problem is the games will run out too fast and doubt we will win all our last 10 games (although we could do)

    I think we are a better side than city and united to be honest. At least from what we have shown recently. Today was just remarkable how well we moved the ball.

    I should have added:

    It's all down to the new defensive coach we have employed...oh wait...
