Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I like Arsenal and I like Wenger. Their financial prudence and the way they try to play makes them much more appealing than middle-ranking clubs who just chuck money around, like Chelsea and Man City. But this is the first time Wenger has been under real pressure. I understand he has his principles but his stubborn refusal to have even a couple of guys with 'dig' in the squad is baffling. Also, I know he's into fitness and nutrition in a way that revolutionised the English game, but over the last couple of years and this year in particular, his players look really weak. It's as if he's gone too far with the conditioning - most of them are tiny and skinny and constantly seem to miss games for the most insignificant injuries.

Djourou seriously injured. That game was dead the moment Rooney scored. Arsenal have no belief, no dig, no physical strength. God knows how they pick themselves up from this. Scholes was outrageously lucky to stay on the pitch - but arguably, it's as much because Arsenal don't have players who throw themselves about like that that they're now out of three competitions inside a fortnight. It just ain't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Presume the rules of two yellow cards do not apply to Man U players at home. Scholes has managed to pretend he can't tackle for about 15 years, and as long as refs show no backbone for sending him off, he continues to do it. He had 3 bookable tackles in the short time he was on, and the one after he was carded (which could have been a straight red) was a definite yellow, but all the ref did was warn him. What a joke. presume Fergie has had a word and ensured that no Man U players would get red card. They really are the English equivalent of the old firm. man U would have still one though as Arsenal would still try and walk the ball in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 lol the old man utd ref syndrome.... can't beat it! the ref didn't change the result, man U would have still won, but the game should have ended 10 v 10. Even the BBC report states 1911: I really cannot believe how Paul Scholes is still on the pitch. He lunges in rashly and dangerously again, this time on Samir Nasri and that HAS to be a second booking, at least. Referee Chris Foy - ridiculously - decides it is only worth a talking to. A terrible decision. Could this be as a result of Ferguson having a go at previous ref v Liverpool, saying he feared worst when he saw who ref was. He cartainly must have laughed when he saw what his players got away with at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm never quite sure what you're on about with this. The Arsenal fans stayed with their team right to the end today, even though it was obviously hopeless. Their away fans are as good as any club's. Meanwhile, at far, far too many games every season, Old Trafford isn't so much in full cry as full mumble: fans bloated on success, with an attitude of "c'mon - entertain us!" For atmosphere, Anfield and White Hart Lane piss all over OT most of the time. United do have a genuine hardcore of real fans (people like you actually) - but they also have supporter bases in places like Stevenage, Yarmouth and Cornwall, not to mention far, far too many tourists. In sum: any United fan slagging off another club for having too many prawn sandwich eaters amongst their support is on seriously shaky ground.

I'm not for one second suggesting Old Trafford is a cauldron of noise or any of that nonsense, you're absolutely right there that it's been pretty awful for a good few years. I'd also agree that WHL is more atmospheric these days, especially in big games such as the one against Milan a few days ago. I won't give you Anfield, though. That's another topic however. Arsenal fans are the very definition of small-time, nu-football, Soccer AM style fans. They're ones who'll always shout loudest in the pub about how much they know about "footy", they'll condescend you if you support someone outside the "Big 4" in the Premier League or for not playing football the "Arsenal" way, they only have three generic songs and if there are others they'll be pinched off United or Liverpool (such as their Nasri chant), they'll turn up for big games down south with their replicas and novelty Arsenal afros but for northern aways such as Bolton or Blackburn they rarely sell-out. In short, they're an utter embarrassment to their club. They also have the Arsenal Away Boiz http://www.myspace.com/arsenalawayboysfans . If you're ever meeting a football fan in general, you can quickly tell whether or not they "get it". Arsenal fans, on the whole, just don't. They're cringeworthy. Stop talking out of your arse. You clearly don't get it. My point is completely lost on you so if I were you I'd stop replying to me and I'd go back to thinking up funny ways of letting the referee know that he doesn't know what he's doing at the next home game.

Though it's worth it for those rare occasions when you meet someone and they really, really get it; really know what football's all about. And of course, when travelling abroad, nothing gets you conversing with strangers anything like as well as the global language of football. It's a brilliant ice breaker.
