Rooney starts....

Post by hanny73 »

My point is not the fact that Shrek is starting for Manure, I couldn't really give a fu*k.

My point is that when was the last time Wenger bullshitted to the oppostion about a players fitness. Why announce the day/couple of days before someone is fit or unfit. Let's keep the opposition guessing in future.

You know if that was an Arsenal player he'd have been ruled out for the season :lol:

difference seems to be other teams get their players back from injury quickly whilst ours start off with a 2-3 week absence which turns into 5 or 6 weeks. There would seem to be an underlying problem at Arsenal with training/medical support/diagnosis etc
They even missed Cescs fractured leg FFS!!!

Yes TeeCee, then we've had the Rosicky mystery injury and the RVP one this season, whereby he goes abroad to have horse shit put on his injury which then turns out to be alot worse than first diagnosed (the injury and not the horse shit that is) The whole backroom staff need looking at and sacking, because of their ineptitude.

Maybe we miss Gary Lewin, or is Arsene too soft on players?

Many ex-players of George Graham's era have stated they feared getting injured so much because they knew how difficult it would be to get back in the starting XI. Then again there was no such thing as rotation back then.

Say what we want about Manure but when they need to score in Europe, they absolutely blitz teams. We just fanny about or get blitzed. Gibson and Valencia have scored for them, not massive names but they seem able to turn it on when needed.

Note to Wenger: Strength in depth may help you win a major trophy.

Cheap tactics from Fergie. 2 mistakes from Bayern. First was poor keeping, second was terrible defending.

The scoreline reads Manure 3- 0 Bayern. Don't care how goals are made and thats what our team have to learn. I do not remotely admire or envy those repulsive lot but they are getting results and we're not. Bendtner had an opportunity to score but took an eternity before the ball was nicked by Marquez. Rosicky too had an opportunity and for whatever reason, he decided not to take a touch and pick the spot but blazed it over the bar. Diaby also ballsed up. If we don't learn to kill off games we shall forever be admired as harmless beautiful kids at Arsenal.

This.

We piss about with no urgency, waiting for the opposition to roll over. I'm fed up with it. Utd, much as we hate em, know how to do a job & they do it very well.

EDIT: I see Chamakh scored again too 8)
