Champions League Watch

We wouldn't sell, he wouldn't go!

 

Time for Arsenal to focus on qualification for the annual getting knocked out of the champions league.

 

And august's big big tournament, the hemroids cup.

 

Seriously though, it is horrible watching the champions league. The chavs just park the bus from Russia to Rome, utd, well they're crap, city last night didn't even try and Arsenal who love the fact they qualify year on year, never ever compete to actually win the thing.

 

The last part of your post is the most baffling, they celebrate their top 4 status like its a trophy win, in fact their manager said "it is" a trophy but entering it multiple times and only ever getting to one final is embarrassing.

 

And city can't even buy their way to the final

 

in 2007-2009 it was just english domination. even 2010 but english football has so regressed

For those of you who like a stat, Toni Kroos's display in midfield is worth a look.

He attempted 152 passes tonight, 127 of which were in Arsenal's half, and he completed 96.7% of them. Not too shabby.

Arsenal's most prolific passer was Jack Wilshere, who was successful with 66.7% of his 30 passes.

 

A bit like a big club with no premiership trophies?

 

What's happened to Ozil recently? Shocking.

For me he's far too lazy and definitely not suited to a PL style team. His lack of willingness to track back is embarrassing.

 

Not really, the prem title makes whoever wins it exactly champions of England just like the old trophy used to, if in doubt check your clubs trophy count on their website.

You won't find any CL's or EC's though.

 

poor krome... schooled again

 

Arsenal and Liverpool used to be best mates on the old 606 board

 

Fans and commentators went mad at the effort Kolscieny (sp) put in just before Bayern scored their goal but his lack of discipline in doing that led to conceding said second.

Watch it again and you will see Flamini filling in for him. But as Kolscieny gets back Flamini is too busy re-organising as a result that he forgets to mark his man. His man scored the second!

Heroic? Yes
Good for the team morale? Maybe
Good for the team as a whole? Certainly not
Costly? Almost certainly

 

That was back in the days before you were brainwashed into thinking top 4 and money in your owners pockets was a sign of success.
A club like Arsenal should be winning trophies not amassing megabucks for the owners.

 

Also before Wenger decided to submit an embarrassing +£1 offer that caused a lot of agro on these boards in the summer

 

Very true.

Robben is a disgrace.

 

I think Robben is a prick and this would not surprise in.the least but thats got to be camera trickery. Its not even in line with his mouth!

 

There's a video somewhere I think mate.
