supraspeed Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm sorry but arsenal spend so much of the game...and most games playing the ball backwards instead of forwards and seem generally afraid of taking chances. I'm no Man U fan..or any premier league team fan, but the players only want to walk the ball into the net pretty much all the time and its just so tedius to watch. Man U attacked full out sprint every time and it just goes to show that constant posession aint everything IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one reason, and one reason alone for this is that Utd's defence is so much more solid than Arsenal's. Wenger MUST buy a CB this summer.

I agree the defence looked a tad open, but apart from a few crosses, arsenal don't look like everyone wants to get involved, theres no off the ball running into key areas, nobody wanted to take responsability for any attacking moves, and wanted to play it safe when they should have got everyones confidence fired up early. just really bad tactics, especially at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont watch Arsenal much i get the impression they need another Bergkamp or Henry too , a top quality consitant goal scorer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 i have largely turned my back on premiership football, outside the top 4 it is a pile of mediocrity, unless you are one of the top 4 the best you can hope for is another dull season of c**p football and survival in the "top flight", spare a thought for real supporters who follow teams like Luton town who start next season in the conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 35 year supporter a team that has played in the first 3 divisions, and is about to be relegated this season (Middlesbrough) I'd choose a 'dull season in a pile of mediocrity' any time over the poor quality of football seen in the lower divisions. As for fans of the 'big 4' teams, you know nothing about football. I say this because you don't know what it's like to be anything but a top 4 team - it's like a being a trustafarian, having it all on a plate and knowing nothing about 'real life'. Also the supporters of the 'big 4' teams in the fantasy football league are all near the bottom when compared to other prem teams. Why is that? Again, it's cos they know nowt about football. One more thing, the title of this thread is a case in point. Arsenal are not crap, they are 4th in the Prem, and have just reached the semi-finals of the champions league. Some people need to get a grip of reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rays the roof Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Good to see my friendly post hasn't created any animosity [GRIN][/GRIN] I enjoy reading the different prospectives, but don't agree that Rangers and Celtic aren't good enough to join a joint league. Might take a season to get used to the SLIGHTLY differering styles of play, but would make for some great Anglo Saxon battles. Just my opinion as I will not be held legally responsible for any deaths as a result of this happening. And that's on the pitch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I reckon Man U were lucky as Arsenal started really well until the left-back fell over again (he really needs new boots ) but credit to Ronaldo with his freekick which the keeper should've saved. The third goal was quality though. As for the Fletcher incident that just football evening itself over the season (remember the Carrick pen against Spurs) I dont watch Arsenal much i get the impression they need another Bergkamp or Henry too , a top quality consitant goal scorer . They just need to buy quality replacements for Adebayor (his head's in Milan) and Song and a Skrtel/Vidic type centre-back. Next season they'll have Arshavin and Rosicky back in the lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more thing, the title of this thread is a case in point. Arsenal are not crap, they are 4th in the Prem, and have just reached the semi-finals of the champions league. Some people need to get a grip of reality. Agree with most of your points there, but the reason why we have alot of the top players here is simple - money, did Robinho even know who he was signing for ?(££££££££), i do disagree with you prefering a season of prem mediocrity to the lower leagues, i had a season ticket for Man City for 20 years and watched their demise to the third teir and back again, highlights of this were the win at Wembley in the playoffs (2 nil down on 90minutes) and winning the 1st division championship in the "feed the Goat" Keegan era was the best football i have ever seen at Maine road/Wastelands. How can winning a championship (all be it a lower league), scoring a record amount of goals, and winning games with all the expectation and excitement that brings compare to finishing 4th from the bottom and getting dicked every week in the Prem. Yes teams aspire to the premiership but once there reality bites that for the majority there is absolutely nothing to aspire to anymore and no chance of winning anything, alot of the teams outside the top 4 dont even consider they have a chance of beatin man u, arse, scouse or chelski and field weakened teams and just accept they are going to get beat . I finally threw in the towel with my season ticket 3 seasons ago pretty much for this reason (and the standard of sh*te served up by a certain Mr Pearce) Fully agree with your comment about the top 4 supporters though i was raised in manchester mate thats all im going say. fair enough, but from London you must appreciate you are a rarety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 NWS Stuff below. Wenger goes to donate some sperm at the local sperm bank. He sees the receptionist and she says. So, Arsene, have you donated before? He says - yes just look on your computer. After looking, she says, oh, ok… but we’ll have to call in a hacker. He asks why. She says: Well, it says here that you’re a useless wanker! Q. “What does a 3 pin plug and Arsenal Football Club have in common?” A. “They’re both useless in Europe” what goes beep beep beep beep the arsenal open top bus reversing into the garage Fly Emirates…….Everywhere......but Rome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Fully agree with your comment about the top 4 supporters though From my view, most people in Liverpool are in fact Everton fans ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 i do disagree with you prefering a season of prem mediocrity to the lower leagues I know what you mean, games in the lower leagues are MUCH more atmospheric than the prem. Fans have more passion, they can stand (WOO HOO :d:d) and the banter/singing is miles better. But there's the rub - you have to go to the games to get this, and being 200+ miles away I can't do that. So I will miss watching MOTD with my team on, the radio/newspaper reports will be all the more smaller and less significant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ARSEnal will continue to run behind the pack possibly behind man city too if proffessor yapple does'nt cough up and buy two or three seasoned stars(expensive), not thzt i csre im a spurs fan My girlfriend is a big Man U fan , she's loving this at the mo! I'm a baggies fan so couldnt give a fek about these 2! After all West Brom's the strongest team in the league hold the rest up! I saw wba this weekend and you actually play good football, your just pants in the final third of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 As for the Fletcher incident that just football evening itself over the season (remember the Carrick pen against Spurs) What about when Wellbeck was fouled in the FA cup semi final and we didnt get a penaly? All the what abouts in the world will not change the fact that that was a poor decision. In the replay you clearly see Cesc see the ball get away from him and then go down like something out of Platoon. It could be Fletchers only time to play in one of the biggest games in world football, obviously as a united fan i hope he stays with us and he gets more chances.

BillyC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 From my view, most people in Liverpool are in fact Everton fans ... Ahhh, The Peoples Club. Not been a full house all season. Oh, and until Wenger realises that winning trophies involves more than passing the ball around nicely to entertain the purists, then Arsenal will forever be also rans, who have some delightful periods of possession and play, but no-one physically able to do the "ugly football" stuff as it doesnt look nice. If he grasps that idea, and unearths another Viera, then the rest MAY flourish. If he can keep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
