Boycott Barcelona. The bastards are taking over bristol water as well and I dont have any shares, the buggers!

Why Harry6, we hardly know each other :-) But at least you're not a Gooner so there's always a chance!

Queen, a mere bagatelle. OK, we hardly know each other, I agree, but can't you just feel the warmth flowing through that keyboard. The humour, the fun, the nights in sharing a copy of the Investor's Chronicle.

It'll be overnight stays at financial conferences soon, just so we can watch the football on the box, you just see if it isn't. Oh how we'll laugh.

Arsenal needed this experience to enable them to win it next year, and with henry staying and a squad reshuffle and buying spree, they will win next time.

C'mon yee Gunners!

Harry6 - I'm laughing already :-)

barclay - You need to keep all 11 players on the pitch to win in Europe and that will never happen for the dirtiest team this side of Christendom.

Barclay - I'm prepared to bet that you never go to games. If you did, there is no way you could spout that rubbish about a bunch of cheats and divers. And then there is Lehman; the nicest thing to happen to him would be a frontal lobotomy, there I said it.

Queen - what is that funny :-) you do, is it a mating ritual or some ancient Nepalese tantric symbol guaranteeing that our children will recognise the signs of a bear market on the way.

Or is it just a sweet smile?

What no pics

I see the picture in the middle is the boys practicing their cheating on each other. Training ground orchestrated obviously :-) (that was for you H6)

when anything to do with england looses you horrible desperate muvva funkers blame refs.,...what you gonna do.....hound this one out the game....you lost to a better team......deal with it ya english monkeys

Treble - don't you dare lump Arsenal in with us English, nothing much English about them. But agree with you about them losing to a better team.

Queen - Goodnight X

We have to accept defeat... the ref was right in my humble opinion to send off Jens, he had to make a split second decision... We were not good enough on the night... We need to move on (oh we are), Henry's staying, new stadium and some excellent young players (come on Theo), the future bright, the futures emirates red...

we WERE good euf!!

We were unlucky.

In the first 17 mins we matched them and if not had the better of it!

For 55 mins we did what we needed to do, they didnt.
We got a bit lucky with the free kick for the goal.
With 10 men we still made chances.
they had most possession but you would expect that 11 vs 10.

They got back into the game with a goal that could have been dissallowed.
There second goal was a killer. We were tiring after playing with 10 men for an hour. The goal was technically an own goal as it was going wide until it hit Almunia.

they werent all over us and we had chances to score at 1-0.

If Barca are the best team in the world. a 10 man Arsenal arent far off them, which means and 11 man Arsenal team arent either.

I feel sorry for Jens, he had no choice, an extra yard on the ball and he saves it.
I feel sorry for Pires, I fee sorry for Dennis who would have come on if we had 11 men.
I feel sorry for Arsene who had set Arsenal up perfectly for the game. We looked more dangerous than them and started better. They even had to move the "best player in the world" to the centre because they knew he wouldnt get much of the ball on the left.

The clown referee ruined what was starting to become a facinating game so lets hope UEFA can use their power to get them together again in Athens next year.

Coz we know that the ruling bodies can always make things happen when they really want them too. Thats why they have refs like that clown.
A ref FIFA didnt think fit to go to the WCup, yet UEFA give the most important Euro game of the year!!!

pommy - check out Deltex med thread.

arsenal fans feeling sad?call the arsenal hot line on 0800 10 10 10
thats 0800 won nothing won nothing won nothing

Pommy - I feel sorry for you.

windsorgolf - lol!

how will theo and thierry play together, i think Theo will turn out to be the better player starting with the world cup. ps Gerrard has to be captain!!

Arsenal are about to sign Thomas Rosicky, a creative defensive midfileder.
Cost Dortmund 12mil 5 years ago when he was 20, we get him for 6 mil in a fire sale.
He scored 15 goals in 50odd internationals.
Probably bought him as Abou Diaby will be out most of the season after than norvern cnut did him.

I said at the time to a mate that could cost us as Diaby was the sort of player you might want to be able to bring on for the last 10-15mins of the Cl final if defending a lead and so it turned out!!!


Walcott will be a very good player, I ve seen him play on videos, hes got exactly the sort of speed a footballer needs and great technique!
Smart move by Arsene to get him into the Eng set up, and give him experience without costing Arsenal anything in appearance fees!!
To say he'll be better than Henry is a bit statement, if he's as good Ill be delighted!!

Pommy - do you go down Sainsburys wearing a full Arsenal kit?

Only CHAVs and Manshites shop at Sainsburys!!

I shop at Albert Heijn!

enjoy your glory next years boys because when the blues (b'ham city) are back i can see only one team winning it!!

Harry, i never called them cheats and divers, you are getting my post mixed up with somebody else - I'm on Arsenals side.

What i said was Arsenal will definately strenghthen the squad this year so they will
be in a better position to win. Losing 2-1 to barcelona with only ten men is a good
achievment, many a side have fared worse.

They are after all the best club side in the world, and will go on to beat the South Americans for the world club championship no doubt.
