Other Matches Thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Scezney in goal. Epic, epic banter.
The last goal from the corner.....he looked like a giraffe stepping out of it's moms womb.

Difficult to watch a game these days without seeing an ex Arsenal keeper.

Anyway, if we won this comp, which we won't, it would be a scathing indictment of the standard of football in Europe.
I think this is the strongest Champions League for some time.
That's what makes it so baffling that we are even in the mix......our PL performances are absolutely dire. Different type of football I suppose, most PL teams set up 2 walls of 5 against us and we cannot break them down......then break twice in the entire game and score at least once.

This is a really entertaining game. Both these teams would have the beating of us.

The tempo of both these teams is a far cry from the leaden footed, dead football we played last night. None of these players look they ran a marathon the morning of the game like most of our lot did yesterday.

Light years ahead of last night's game and whoever wins the second leg in milan will surely be favourites

It is him apparently, I had to ask around. Piss poor at United, even worse at ours and now at this impressive outfit. Baffling :shock:

Stop worrying. If all else fails, Manure or Bilbao will do them in the final.

I said not to worry; didn't say we'd be home and hosed after the first leg. We'll be fine in the second leg. Got a DB10 feeling about all this.

I don’t think it’s all over either but it would be pretty Arsenal for us to come up short when looking good and Spurs go and win the Europa in a dross season.
