Ever since Koscielny came back from his minor injury in early season he has somehow looked a new man. If you haven't been aware of his performances then you must've raised an eyebrow at the complete lack of criticism coming at him from media and Arsenal fans (me :D) alike over the last few months. The reason is because he has been absolutely magnificent, better than Vermaelen recently even: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...ny-became-prince-of-the-emirates-6917448.html

There I dug up some article that may or may not be relevant.
 
Somehow Real Madrid always falls against Barcelona. I mean they ''thought'' they had the league, but if Barcelona keps playing the way it's playing now(five goals from Messi yesterday) it might just win the cup. Again.
 
funny game? that was the most rediculous free kick ever, no doubt fergie will be raving at the officals for thier 2nd AND 3rd.
and at the team for the slack passing

if you don't have two boots on and are involved in play, it is a free kick. sorry pal, the most ridiculous thing about their 3rd goal was rafael's lazy defending!

2nd goal was mint! offside though...
 
The basic compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate
items:
• a jersey or shirt with sleeves – if undergarments are worn, the colour of the
sleeve must be the same main colour as the sleeve of the jersey or shirt
• shorts – if undershorts or tights are worn, they must be of the same main
colour as the shorts
• stockings
• shinguards
• footwear

In the event of any infringement of this Law:
• play need not be stopped
• the player at fault is instructed by the referee to leave the fi eld of play to
correct his equipment
• the player leaves the field of play when the ball next ceases to be in play,
unless he has already corrected his equipment
• any player required to leave the fi eld of play to correct his equipment
must not re-enter without the referee’s permission
• the referee checks that the player’s equipment is correct before allowing
him to re-enter the fi eld of play
• the player is only allowed to re-enter the fi eld of play when the ball is out of play

this is the rule, and the players were told they were to give the ball back.

so there was no reason for a free kick to be given
 
Dont compare Podolski to Reyes he will not turn out like him also he is not like Walcott on the wing at all.i watch the Bundesliga and whenever he drifts out wide he is very creative and his Germany performances have been great on the wing too.

More experienced and better goal scorer than Hazard which is what we are lacking, the only person that can put the ball in the net is Rvp. Podolski is a perfect signing.


Also great win over Milan on tuesday, so proud of the team for the effort.
 
Yes which is something we dont lack, we can create enough chances every game but dont have people to finish other than RvP.Podolski will be such a good signing
 
Hazard actually has 11 league goals this season already, so it's possible he's developed a good scoring touch.

And tbh I think a lot of people are interpreting the situation wrong. Everybody's talking about how we rely on RVP for goals, and that we need cover, which is very true and I hope Podolski can prove to be adequate cover. But nobody's talking about getting goals FROM OTHER POSITIONS. Seriosuly, the only midfielder with a half decent goal return this season is Arteta, although Song has managed to create a good share of them.
 
^Be content with what you have fool;you don't wanna have to rely on defenders and midfielders to score goals like us >_>
 
well you cant rely on defenders to defend so they gotta do something.

as much as i like players scoring goals from here then and everywhere, i would take eden hazard for united, although i would take bale over him, but arsenal are never going to get bale ever due to spurs.
i dont see why arsenal need him, unless you need a midfielder to look for a cross rather then try and take players on which arsenal have.

glen johnson... why bring this up again -_- go back to bench warming
 
I won't be able to post tomorrow morning before I go (I have communication issues first thing in the morning, i.e, I can only grunt to respond in the first hour after I wake-up).

First part of Bolton's 2 for 1 home games tomorrow. At home to QPR. It's a big relegation six-pointer that's for sure. We really need to win this. However, I'll say a 1-1 draw, with Mark Davies scoring for us. It's the early game at 12:45.
 
I'm hoping for a Miyaichi goal or assist! I'll try to watch that game on TV if I can. I'm really starting to think QPR and Wigan will go down looking at their fixtures. They will have to pull out some shock results against the big teams if they want to keep up. Having said that I don't think any game is a winnable game for the clubs down at the bottom so it may not make much difference in the end, it'll probably be down to who wins against each other as it always is.

He's first choice for club and country... sometimes i wonder if you even watch football

even though he's 100% right and he's entitled his opinion, it wasn't really a smart move to bring it up again. he was probably annoyed by that fucker mcgrath who was isolating him because he's the only black player in the team. THATS racist
 
Well, a 2-1 win. Forget any controversy (they had goal not given which crossed the line, but their actual goal was offside, so all in all a fair result), it was a very nerve-racking game. I reckon we just about deserved the win. Coyle should play Klasnic more often. Out of the relegation zone now. :)



To any QPR fans... "How sh!t must you be, we've beat you at home." "You're going down with the Wigan."
 
Okay i was happy that we secured the three points but it's very worrying that we could not score more than 1 goal vs ten man Stoke at home.Di matteo better start with Mata and Sturridge vs Napoli;we need to win 2-0.
 
What an absolutely shitty season
What a fuckload of terrible signings

Once again, late substitutions from Dalglish

If Kenny wants the best for the club, then he'll do the right thing and resign. Rafa in charge for the derby, I can dream.
