Wigan vs. Arsenal

But can we?
I don't mean to sound negative, but I can't see us going to Cold Trafford and winning.

GFL, what is the shit talk? That we should now throw all our hopes into the lottery of a knockout competition where we could draw Fenerbache and make the semi's or draw Man Utd and lose 4-0 again. Either way we'd just be in the semi's. Or should we still believe that even though 2 points clear and 9 wins out of 9 will bring us the title?

EXACTLY!! 9 WINS OUT OF 9 WILL BRING US THE TITLE AND WHO THINKS WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO DO THAT? YES, WE WILL NEED TO PLAY BETTER THAN RECENTLY, BUT I STILL BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE AND THAT THE OTHERS WILL ALSO DROP MORE POINTS ALONG THE WAY.

ALL I WANT TO REITERATE IS THAT THINGS AREN'T AS BLACK AS THEY SEEM TO SOME AT THE MOMENT. WE ARE STILL IN A POSITION TO PULL THIS THING OFF, SO LET'S NOT GIVE UP HOPE YET. :lol: :wink:

I'd just like to say that, apart from tearing ade and hleb apart with my comments, my negativity has been nowhere to be seen in this thread :lol:

I think we have are going to drop more points than other two. We got to play all the top 5 teams... Do you really expect us to win all of those games?

Ofcourse it is possible but looking at the last 3 league performances, I doubt we can.

TRUE. YOU HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY POSITIVE COMPARED TO SOME ON HERE, AUGIE :shock: :? :wink: 8)

MUST ALSO SAY THAT I AGREE WITH YOUR CRITICISM OF HLEB. TODAY WAS A FLASH BACK TO LAST SEASON AND WE SAW HIM AT HIS WORST. APART FROM THE ODD GAME IN EUROPE, HE HASN'T REALLY SHONE SINCE WAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND WE NEED HIM TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RETURN TO HIS BRILLIANT BEST FOR THE FINAL RUN IN. :lol: :wink

Yeah, I felt let down by Alex today.

...Maybe he was too busy bashing one out over a tape of him owning Kaka during midweek. He just doesn't have the energy anymore!

At least he won't be watching the Wigan video! :lol:

Being honest with you I am finding it hard to be negative or too critcal tonight - how can we be slate the team after playing so well in milan tues night but on the other hand how can a team that can play so well against milan play so poorly against brum,villa and wigan :? I have always stated that I will never turn on a player unless I see a lack of effort and commitment by them and imo ade and hleb fit quite comfortably into that category

should i remind you all that manure and the chave lost this weekend in the fa cup, and they sure didnt play their resevers. I think all top 3 teams are going to have a little dip in form right about now.

It has been a fantastic season so far, we only lost ONE game in the league this season,

I honestly think after what we did in the san siro we shouldnt fear our away games!

Ye its not going to be easy, but when has winning the title ever been easy????

WE WILL DO IT!

Lets now concentrate on one game at the time. Boro, 3 points is a MUST

Clucking Bell Gooners,

I love this club and firmly believe we can do it. At the start of every season ask me if we can go not just undefeated but win every game and I'll say yes. Cos when we line up against whoever I always belive we can win, so in theory this adds up to us winning every game. In realtiy it never works out like that. But as down as I feel now, once 5:15pm comes 15th March I'll be behind the boys, not waiting for another bad result, and if it does go that way I'll be watching till the final whistle. 9 wins from 9? We've done it before and can again!!

Yeah but that allows them to focus on the league which is a VERY VERY VERY bad thing!

Just got back from Wigan.

Atmoshpere was great today, nice to see RVP back again.
Phillipe "Skillz" Senderos had a cracking game today IMO, shame the same couldn't be said about Fabregas (granted, he was playing out of position), Hleb (shades of last season with his constant giving the ball away) and Gilberto (what can I say - he's off the pace, lazy and he's had his day :( )

Shame about the result, but at the end of the day we got what we deserved.

And a note for any Wigan fans who were singing the Eduardo "he'll never play again" chants:
You are idiotic *word censored* and your club has no place in the Premiership.

Shit ground. No fans.
