Cornballer said:Ah yes, the turf. Are you going to the game on Saturday, bean breath? I'm dragging twelve of my friends along with me.
I've had insomnia for 3 weeks. :lolbean breath said:I mean come on! When does the guy sleep?!
It's on FSC. You should definitely go to one sooner or later - let me know and we can meet up for a beer.bean breath said:No I'm not, is it on tv? I'm in full playoff hockey mode at the moment.

QVT said:Why not put a team in Montreal where it would SELL OUT instead of splitting the New York fanbase?
QVT said:Why not move the Red Bull to the boroughs then? I dunno, it just seems like getting to see the team closer isn't really warranting a team as much as 25k at every game would.
This is based primarily on the stupidity of having two LA teams. San Diego motherfuckers! I'm totally with Ryck on that, no reason for us to be in LA.
QVT said:800 season tickets but they still get 15,000 people to games. it doesn't look as full because those people can't afford the most expensive tickets to sit closer. if you look at ticketmaster the 100 dollar 3 rows back seats aren't sold out but the cheaper ones are. it's an unfortunate reality which has a lot to do with the socio-economic status of our fans.
if i was locked in jersey i'd buy a lock pick

Mecha_Infantry said:Call me out on being xenophobic, but I think that is one difference between English youngsters and foreign youngsters. I think some of the young foreigners in the core of Arsenal got shook at Anfield yesterday due to the atmosphere and they weren't used to the English crowd (in that European heat), it's happened to Ronaldo too. I don't think them dudes were used to it and you could see their heads went into the sand when Hypia scored. Fabregas was a goner again and didn't influence the game enough to warrant his "elite" status, Toure just isn't the same. I actually think Toure is at the end of his Arsenal career and he is to blame as much as Shitderos. Seriously, Senderous is probably one of the worst defenders I have seen in the Premiership. With all of that added together you have a team with weakened strength against larger teams. It's ok being 2-0 down at Bolton and then winning, but Arsenal need to know how to take pressure when leading or drawing and manage to kill the game as they are going potless this season and will continue to
The other thing is Alan Hansen was right, you can't win anything with kids. If you look at the united team with the youngsters we had experience scattered throughout from Schmeichel, Cantona, Cole, Pallister, etc. Wenger has got to buy big in the summer, one big defender and a solid striker as I feel the team just has no direction to it. It feels like he won't buy big so he can constaly rely on the "they are kids" statement whenever things go wrong and it's annoying to hear Arsenal fans (not on here specifically) keep on saying we are building, we are this.
But anyway, I am not an Arsenal fan, but hug your local one as I know they need it![]()

FabCam said:Yes please!
Harrison really isn't that bad, it's in the Northeastern part of Jersey that can be confused for Queens or The Bronx. Unfortunately, New Yorkers really have no respect for Jersey but I do understand their want for a team in the boroughs. However, the best solution would be to put a team in Queens. Thus, the Red Bulls can get their market from suburban soccer towns, Newark, Hudson County, Midtown, and Downtown. The other team would draw from Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Uptown Manhattan, Long Island, and the Southwestern Connecticut. That makes sense to me and I'd be all for it.QVT said:if i was locked in jersey i'd buy a lock pick
hadareud said:Yesterday result still hurts and it will do for a long time, probably until next season.
Apart from the penalty decision we also have to admit that we just haven't performed well defensively lately. People blame Senderos (and he was at fault for 1 1/2 goals yesterday) but Toure and Gallas have been just as much to blame for our recent results as him. Actually moreso, especially Gallas has really not had the best of form lately and we conceded quite a few goals due to his mistakes (Chelsea x 2, Bolton x 1, Middlesbrough x 1, Liverpool in the league x 1 etc.). So it's something that needs sorting out, the quality is obviously there - the concentration obviously not. Let's see how Arsene addresses that.
Everyone has had their say about the penalty and to me it's clear that it wasn't one having looked at it about 20 times now. You could argue that Cesc maybe made a little foul, but if he did it was outside the box. Toure did not foul Babel, he didn't touch him (Babel touched him, trying to make it appear as if Toure fouled him).
Either way, let's have a look at some of the referee decisions that have gone against us or not for us since our dip in form:
Birmingham (d) - Disgraceful penalty given against us in the 93rd minute. Would have been a W
Aston Villa (d) - Offside goal. We clearly outplayed Villa until the goal and I am convinced it would have been a W
Milan h (d) - Clear penalty on Hleb not given. Hleb shown yellow for diving instead
Middlesbrough (d) - Adebayor goal not allowed for offside, which it clearly wasn't. Would have gone on to be an easy W
Chelsea (l) - Chelsea's equalizer was clearly offside. I don't know how the game would have ended, surely wouldn't have lost it though.
Liverpool (d) - Clear penalty on Hleb not given
Liverpool (d) - Clear penalty on Fabregas not given. Would have been a W
Liverpool (l) - Dodgy penalty gifted to Liverpool.
9 points lost in the league, out of the Champions League.
Referee decisions usually even themselves out, that's clearly impossible to happen for Arsenal in this season, and it is unacceptable. It's hard to believe that what happened is possible.

h0pper said:honestly, after seeing Theo's play last night I was very impressed.
I think Wenger should start with a formation that he had when he subbed RVP and Theo in from now on. But, of course Flamini in for Gilberto.
I still feel like shit over this loss ;/
h0pper said:well I think van Persie needs some more games to get back to his best. When he's at his best, he's easily our most dangerous player.
With Theo, he's taken alot of heat this year with people saying he's not developing fast enough, blah blah. Last night that run he made was incredible. Someone posted the video of Henry doing it at the Bernabeu. Well, tbh, it was almost the same thing except for the finish.
