Not when we were playing hoofball.
You mean like on the first day?
You didn't activate that Belgian DNA trump card. Blame AVB.

L'Equipe's Ligue 1 best XI of 2012 : Sirigu - Debuchy, Silva, Yanga-Mbiwa, Trémoulinas - Mavuba, Matuidi, Valbuena - Nene, Ibrahimovic, Hazard.
Is Sirigu close to challenging Buffon?
Spurs.
They're close to being a good team, as well as having some great players.

It's only between you or Spurs. Everton 6th, Liverpool 7th.
I think Spurs have looked better this year overall and have the better squad, but you have the better manager (FOR NOW) and you're Arsenal. You do this every year. It'll be Arsenal.
What, Henderson was up all night being sick, and still put in that performance.
My hero.
My hero.
No he was in a coat in the crowd.
Chelsea are hardly clear yet. They also had a seemingly comfortable place in the CL slots at this time last season. Even Man City could potentially get dragged in.
If AVB does some good shopping soon I will be starting to shit myself.
This year feels different though, there feels like a genuine lack of talent in the squad. The CL won't be the same without us.
I'd be shitting myself as it is, if I were you.
AVB's a good manager, he's brought in a more rigid philosophy, but that's not to say they can't play attractive football. If anything, Arry's team was too loose, and AVB identified that. Not only that but they're developing a winning mentality within the squad. They get Sneijder, or Moutinho, and it's a lock.
I think another factor will be players returning from injury. It's a Wenger-cliche but Parker, Kaboul and BAE really will be like new signings to us, they have contributed zero until now and they are three of our top players.
If Diaby and Rosicky can get into the Arsenal team then they could get a similar boost like they did when Wilshire returned.

Lego has Pogrebnyak coming offhis bench who scored because James Collins cant kick a fucking ball
Corruption.
Corruption.
Yeah those were the names I am dreading. It's not to say I'm not worried now, but I think if they did bring in one or two good players we are fucked.
Yeah you have been missing some key players to give AVB credit. I honestly don't think Diaby or Rosicky will do very much if they return.
If he doesn't start one of the next two games I'll assault my book shelf.
Unsung hero.
Massive blow, but shouldn't he only be out for three to four weeks?
Bale recovered from his in that time frame. I'd agree though, left back is a problem area, although we can move Johnson over, and he does play very well there, but we'd need Wisdom to be fit.

Aren't Inter paying some of Cesar's wages now?
On the strength of yesterday's performance, I would say Arsenal. Spurs, maybe.
Fuuuuuuuck. He's been magnificent recently.
Still think Arsenal 4th, Spurs 5th, LFC or Everton .6th
It was 3-3 yesterday until Newcastle ran out of puff and Pardew in his infinite wisdom decided to thin out the midfield.
What Arsenal have done this season is brutally punish teams that defend poorly. Reading, Southampton, Newcastle, 10 man Spurs, 23 of their 39 goals in those 4 games. What they haven't done is actually score a decent number of goals against teams that aren't relegation fodder.
Most of their goals have come in those silly games where the opposition doesn't know WTF they are doing. In games where even the most workmanlike organisation is employed, Arsenal have struggled to score, failing to score against several poor sides.
The main difference between Spurs and Arsenal is that when Arsenal are truly on top of the opposition, they score 4 or 5 goals. Spurs still aren't used to bullying people, we so rarely get 3+ goals, that's something that United, City, Arsenal and Chelsea do far more regularly and that is something that really needs to change. If Adebayor can start fresh and forget about the first half of the season, his goals can really help us. Even yesterday he should have scored 3 times.
Which is why I wrote Arsenal. GD could be a factor.

If you do a Chelsea I will quit football, would mean to CL for Copenhagen.

Do we know how Pastore is doing at PSG? Was so gutted we missed out on him.
Suddenly I'm cheering for Arsenal to win CL. Koscielny boss mode against Barcelona.
Unfortunately nobody here watches Ligue 1
I think we'll finish 7th or thereabouts this season. Our best days have been fantastic, but the consistency just isn't there where it needs to be. Spurs have been great and Arsenal climbed back up like I expected them to and I think they'll get 4th in the end.
I worry about keeping Suarez this summer, if I'm honest, but he's certainly loyal enough to stay at least another season. He is on a very long term contract and I think he is enjoying his life in Liverpool but he is a top, top player and would start for any of the world's best teams except maybe Barça.

Really, even the Danish champions don't get an automatic spot now?

Us doing badly in Europa League and Fc Nordsjælland being embarrasing hasn't helped, next season we certainly won't, this year the CL champions just have to qualify through their own league and we will get the last spot.
Wouldn't worry about that though, at least not yet. Arsenal are likely to be knocked out in the R16, no disrespect to them but they are up against a better team.
Bayern Munich can't beat London teams.
Didn't they beat you guys back in 05?

I hate hard drives. Just installed a 250gb one into my PS3 and nothing will install on it
I wouldn't be surprise if we go for Bafetimbi Gomis. I've always rated him. Remy is just too expensive - be it the purchase money or the wages. He'll want more than Ba wanted from us. Although it would be worth it, plus he can play winger easily, he's just too much I think.
But yes we need a CB and forward. I'd say get Sissoko too because Tiote's going to the ACoN.

That's because the PS3 has no games
We were after him a season back, apparently. It's got the Comolli seal of approval.
Nope. He picked up a Geordie girlfriend. Engaged now I think. He's loving life at Newcastle.
