WHat planet are you on?

He will leave for Spain at some stage in his career, I have no doubt about that but for the next 4/5 years he his ours AND he just signed a 8 year contract recently. When he does eventually leave the transfer fee will be enormous!
 
Wasn`t able to make the trip to the Emirates today ;), but today we pass the test...of being bullied out...we created when they try to slow down the game. I`m very impress w/ Walcott I must say his speed is abnormal to describe at best. Toure missile launch was great and in a very physical match we proved today why we`re leading the league.
 
Great result against the bruisers on the weekend. Onward and forward. I guess the next two weeks against Liverpool and United will be good litmus tests.

Also, good news on Persil...

VAN PERSIE INJURY BOOST


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been boosted by the news that Robin van Persie's knee injury is not as serious as first feared.


Wenger had been concerned that the Dutchman had damaged his cruciate ligaments which would mean a lengthy time on the sidelines.


However, scan results have revealed Van Persie has only damaged medial ligaments.


The forward still faces four to six weeks out of action but this is a considerably shorter recovery time than for a cruciate injury, much to the delight of Wenger.


"His injury is a medial knee ligament," said Wenger.


"At one stage we were scared it was a cruciate but we had good news and the scan was positive. But it is still a long injury."


Meanwhile, Wenger believes Arsenal - who have won their opening two qualifying Group H games - can effectively clinch their place in the UEFA Champions League knock-out stages if they maintain their focus against Slavia Prague on Tuesday.


However, Wenger - who is still without Philippe Senderos (back) - is wary that his side must not get too confident against the underdogs from the Czech Republic.


"If we win tomorrow 90 per cent of the work is done. It is a good mental test because we will see how we cope when we are favourites," Wenger added.


"Sometimes the games that look easy at the start turn out to be the hardest. That is what we learned from last season.


"It is a tricky tie because you could think because we have beaten Sparta Prague we will beat Slavia Prague. We are the favourites but Champions League competition doesn't work like that.


"We had problems to beat Steaua Bucharest. We had to dig very deep and they have beaten Steaua and scored two goals at Sevilla. If we are not focused we will have big problems with them."

Indeed they will, even with our injuries I am quietly confident about the next 2 leagues games, thats all I am gonna say (for now!).

Tonight is a tougher game than it looks, they are a decent side.
 
From Arsenal.com:

Arsène Wenger has no intention of ever becoming Arsenal chairman.

Ahead of last week’s AGM, the current incumbent, Peter Hill-Wood, suggested the French manager would be a good choice to takeover once his coaching career was over.

It is not as fanciful as it sounds. Wenger is one of the few football managers in possession of an economics degree. However he does not want the position.

“No thank you very much,” said the 58-year-old. “I prefer green grass to carpets.”

:lmao:
 
Cesc!!! 5mins in! looking good... real good!

Hleb!!! at 24!!! can call it game soon...

lame... they called it for own goal =(

Walcott gets euro goal! :applause:

Hleb gets his goal back... 4-0 :lmao:

*k its game so i'm gonna stop updating... but Walcott... on fire... hope he does that to Liverpool this weekend...

Absolutely stunning performance, just stunning football!!!

I'm not interested in how good or bad the opposition were supposed to be, to play with that fluidity, precision, balance, passing pace, finnishing etc against a team in the champions league like that is absolutely magnificent.....well done you lot you must be made up- you deserve to be.
 
WOW, UNBELIEVABLE, FOOTBALL FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE NATURE TO KEEP QUIET WHENEVER ARSENAL ARE DOING WELL, LIKE IF I SAID SOMETHING I WOULD RUIN EVERYTHING FOR THEM, BUT THIS TEAM IS FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!! BRING ON LIVERPOOL! BRING ON MAN U!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT.
 
The ITV commentator Peter Drury went way ott last night. The beautiful Arsenal Gods have reached a stunning level of perfection and are truly, without doubt, the Greatest football team ever assembled according to Peter.

He must of needed a new packet of kinex the way he was going on. It was excruciating to hear his orgasmic screeching every time the greatest team ever to grace a football field strung two passes together around the box, Oh! and Theo Walcott "For Arsenal and for England" is indeed now the Son of God! Along with his empathise on exclaiming Wilcott to be 'Such ENGLISH talent'' WTH did England have to do with last nights display. Any success in any sport the english have to clutch on to and make their mark.

Anyone would think Arsenal were the first team to 7goals past the opposition in the Champions League. It was pathetic sucktion which you will not hear the end of until Arsenal lose.

Yea but what is the bottom line here?

I mean is the real issue whether the commentators with OTT? Is it whether or not England was mentioned?

Seriously? :shock:

These commentators are shock joke donkeys as 90% of commentators are.

Now is the calibre of the opposition the real issue?

Rhetorical question; it isn't beyond knowing they are a champions league side.

The real issue, the bottom line if you will was a stunning performace. The football was beautiful to watch and was some of the best played in Europe this year. It also shows what Arsenal can do in terms of passing movement and finnishing and it shows their potential if nothing else.

As such as fans of football (even if other teams) we should be :applause: Arsenal and not moaing like little girls.

I appreciate criticism and I'd agree that 90% of commentators are just a complete waste of space (anyone ever hear Tommy Smith???:shock:) but you'd be hard pressed to criticise ANYTHING about that Arsenal performance last night, it truly was AMAZING. And the line I highlighted in bold, I don't know if thats intentional, but the 7-0 result is a champions league record. BRING ON LIVERPOOL! CAN'T WAIT SHOULD BE A CRACKER!!!!!
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - 7th Heaven

What a game - just amazing!!! We carved them to pieces.

Lets hope we can do the same on Sunday - Although as we all know Liverpool at Anfield will be a completely different story. But our confidence can't be any higher - its gonna be a great game (Hopefully)

:) :) :) :) :) :)
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - 7th Heaven

I just watched the match, and I am amazed. This was one of the most beautiful football I have watched. I am definitely not looking forward to this Sunday. With the way Liverpool and Arsenal are playing, I can only see one result.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - 7th Heaven

People need to get persective. You have to remember this was Slavia Prague not Bayern Munich. This is a team that were easily rolled over. However I do I like it when everyone gets carried away an starts creaming themselves. It just makes the disappointment so much greater when things start to fail.

So would that be the Bayern Munich that are in the UEFA Cup? :lol:

I said yesterday that SL Prague are a good side and I stand by that. They knocked out Ajax in the qualifiers and then almost grabbed a draw against Seville. They weren't at the races last night but we didn't allow them to be cos we played so well. You need to get some perspective a realise that we played a great game of football. It might have been only 1 game but I can't remember the last time we played that beautifully.

you don't see results like that often. Slavia are not a really shit team - we were predicted to win, but by that much and playing that type of football?

Please, if we are not allowed to get excited by that result, then when are we?

You're a class act brother. It's like you say things just for the amusement. My perspective is pretty clear, all I saw was a beautiful game of football from an extremely talented, committed, hungry group of YOUNG individuals. You have to realise this was ARSENAL not Bayern Munich, the same Arsenal that were wrote off when Va Va Voom Va Va Voomed off to Barcelona. I'm not creaming myself over anything and I don't expect us to beat any level of opposition, anything can happen in football as we all know; but when your team produces football of that calibre you can't help but get excited. I can't see any reason for you to be so pessimistic, digging for a way to knock the team or the performance other than just to be the odd one out or play devils advocate. Look at Fabregas's second goal, the 80 yarder, you could set that piece of football to an orchestra. How could you find a way to knock this team after that? Oh yeah, they were playing a Sunday league team that were on the beer the night before and just showed up for the laugh and the kickaround. Give me a fucking break! So what if Arsenal do fail, judging by your opinions you'll feel vindicated and all knowing, maybe applying for a job as footballing guru at Chelsea, but I know now what this team is capable of and that's why I say BRING ON LIVERPOOL, BRING ON MAN UTD, THEY SHOULD BE CRACKING GAMES OF FOOTBALL.

So do you though, need to get a perspective I mean.

You are correct, it wasn't against Bayern Munich, but given it was a record champions League win, it shows you just how good a result it was at this level as no one including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, AC Milan etc etc has ever achieved such a resounding win.

Does it mean Arseanl can automatically win the champions league?

no.

Does it mean Arseanal cna automatically mean that Arsenal can beat the best teams this year?

No.

But who said it did?

Nobody.

The point is it was a wonderful result with scintilating football that bodes well.

Now go and get your perspective :lmao::lmao:
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - 7th Heaven

well played last night lads, Who cares if the team you were against were shit or not you still had to beat them and you did with ease, looking forward to sunday, hope its a draw tho lol
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - 7th Heaven

It was a great performance, at the end of the day you can only beat whats put in front of you and to do it with such style is not something that often happens.

I always though they'd be better when Henry left, he was intimidating to some of the players and I thought they played like they were in his shadow at times and he thought he was Arsenal. One player does not make a team.

Also, its joint biggest win in the Champions League, Juventus beat Olympiacos 7-0 a few years ago.
