CL Semi's

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.

Unreal.
This Klopp fella actually does what AKBs claim nobody can do better than Wenger the imposter. Taking cheap young/unknown players, getting them working hard, teaching them how to play fast, attacking football & actually making it work, winning trophies. Real ones, not virtual ones.

Has to be the next Arsenal manager for me.

He's the best manager in the world. I'd give my left nut to have him manage us.

He wouldn't want to come to a club who's only interested in making money and 3rd/4th place

Precisely. This guy is a real winner, not a virtual one.

Any one managing those 2 German teams. Our clown went and bought some one relegated instead of getting few from these teams.

And therein lies the problem, they are currently in a much better position than we are. Two ways he could leave; we offer him substantially more money (really? ain't gonna happen) or he feels he's taken BVB as far as he can & wants a new challenge...

A champions league semi-final hattrick against a Muorinho managed Real Madrid :shock:
I think, whisky nose is going to be definitely busy this year. After these 2 cracking semi finals in CL, no one is talking about his epl cup. He is going to have a one more crack at CL before dying. He never hesitates to spend.

Unless I've misinterpreted this I doubt he earns anywhere near £7.5mil a year!

Wenger won't leave this summer whatever happens and he will not want to be followed by an ambitious, successful coach who will shit all over his contorted principles and approach and may ride roughshod over all of his excuses. He will use his influence to try and ensure that Croat/Serb (can't remember which!) at his old Jap club follows him.

Tonight restored some of my hope and belief for football - in recent seasons it has been depressing to watch the way moaninho teams and last years chav team win games as they use their dirty tactics and sneaky play :roll: I absolutely hate moaninho and pepe as much as anybody in this modern day football world and everyday that they lose is a joyous occasion for me :barscarf:

Tbh I am still a small bit worried that Madrid will turn them over 3-0 in Spain - Dortmund will not be used to playing huge games like this and would def not used to being favourites for those games. Madrid will have a packed house and it will take a very strong referee to withstand the pressure that will be exerted on him with every ladyboy and di Maria dive and every moaning/whinging bitching session from Ramos and alonso :evil:

Who would have thought 10 or 20 years ago that we would be discussing why a Dortmund manager or player wouldn't take a step down to join our club ? :o It really is sad that we Gooners now look at lewandowski, klopp and reus and know that they are beyond our reach :cry: I know that they say that everything comes in circles but isn't this just a step too far ? I look at that Dortmund set up and am envious of nearly every aspect - the massive terracing behind the goal, the electric atmosphere it creates, their manager who is without doubt one of the best in the world and of course players like the aforementioned polish striker, reus, Hummel and subotic and I wish that we could have a set up like it :(
Anyway at this stage all we can all do is congratulate Dortmund on a great performance and I hope that they can now go on to win the whole thing 8)

Depressingly, you are probably right on both points.

UEFA will be fuming if it turns out to be an all-German final. People will scoff at that and point out that it's a passionate rivalry and they're both very talented teams who play fast, attractive football but compared to Real v Barca it'll register far less interest and revenue on a global scale.

I for one am glad we probably won't have to deal with the hype around what would be DiveFest 2013.

Fucking depressing that our season end relies upon us finishing ahead of the scum for the virtual trophy.
Cheers Arsene, cheers Ivan, cheers Kranky.
You really do expect way too much of your supporters, don't you?

I'm not so sure there, NB.
I suspect that people are actually bored of the two team monopoly of la Liga, and I think that the Germans have rejuvenated interest of the CL by the scorelines alone.

I just wish that we were still the contenders, because there was a time, not so long ago, that Arsenal were everyone's under-dog in this compy.
