Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.

How many people think that we gone backwards from last season? I am starting to think that we may have done. We just seem to be drifting and going through the motions

Re: WENGER - Views For and Against.

For me the title is gone already. On our current form, and Chelsea, as well as Manchester City, playing as they are, there is no way we will be able to catch them. In fact we may fall even further off the pace before too long. What really disappoints me is that within the club there was clearly not ...

Re: Dortmund away match thread

The implications of this result are huge. I could see us losing to Galatasaray away, and not beating Dortmund at home. So that could mean, if we do the double over Anderlecht, that we finish on 9/10 points- and it will be a tough ask to get through on that many. One thing is for certain- our chances ...

Re: The only 2 hours to go to save our season TRANSFER THREA

As a glass half full devils advocate- perhaps Welbeck will be a Daniel Sturridge figure- who does much better than his previous form suggests he is capable of

Re: weekends other games - aug 30/31

I really think this is Chelsea's title to lose. In fact they may win it fairly comfortably

Re: Let's All Laugh At Man Utd!

Also, who else like me gets really angry about this myth about "under-investment" by the apparently miserly Glazers. In fact the owners have spent significant sums at the club, £131 million just this season, it just perhaps hasn't been very well spent

Re: Let's All Laugh At Man Utd!

If they don't get nine points off their next three games- QPR at home, Leicester away and West Ham at home then I think they are already in serious trouble. This is because that will be eighteen very achievable points that will be gone, before they face last years top six home and away. But on the ...

Re: CL Group Draw

This will be tricky. Dortmund are weakened by the loss of Lewandowski- but I think we will get 3 points from the two games. Galatasaray away will be tough and we will hopefully get a point. So hopefully we can get six points off Anderlecht and beat the Turks at home to finish on 13 points- will that ...

Re: CL Matches 1-2 April

Who else could see Bayern bottling under the pressure of their fans next week? I was sceptical of all the claims that they would cruise to victory and Guardiola already appears rattled.

Re: FA CUP TRADE OFF POLL

What do people think are the chances that Wenger will decide he wants to leave on a high after winning one last trophy at Wembley? I think yesterday must have affected his desire to carry on for another three years

Re: Let's All Laugh At Man Utd!

An interesting draw. I think that the key to beating Bayern is to go there still in the tie or slightly ahead, and hope that they crumble under the pressure of their fans for a big win. They turn up every week expecting their side to win big and so as the missed chances pile up I think the mood in ...

Re: Let's All Laugh At Man Utd!

Of course both of those things are true. Its just no one should write them off until they are actually beaten.

Re: Let's All Laugh At Man Utd!

Reading some of the post-match comments, I am reminded of the massacres that were predicted when Chelsea played Barcelona and Bayern in 2012. So I think predicting writing off United to certain heavy defeat at this stage is a mistake. Moyes winning the Champions League may seem ludicrous, but is it ...

Re: Songs at OT

It was brilliant to hear the non stop "we love you arsenal" at the end on the tv. However I think the chants towards van persie, who saved us from the europa league last year, and who left for understandable reasons, the desire to win trophies, (of course money played a role as well) went too far
