It was a shame Benayoun didn't make it, his work rate would have been perfect tonight.
Gah.
Just wasn't meant to be.
Roll on Newcastle.

Pretty much, I can understand frustation, but for people to say RVP is shit etc, is just rediculas tbh.Quote:

As I said, if Ozyakup is on the bench and a key midfielder goes off when we're losing the battle, you have to put him on.Quote:

It says more about the person making that type of post tbh.Quote:

At least it became exciting.
Fucked up the first leg
Fantastic 1st half
No bench
No real quality either side of RVP
Kos, you're the Boss
Ox, you're Tox
Well done lads, tried your best tonight but we just lacked that extra 2% quality.
*PS. Dear Mr WUMger
Theo, Gerv, Chackma, Park, Squilaci, Denilson, Bendtner, Vela, Manuel, Djoana ...can just fuck off already. Their wages can obviously be better utilised.

I wished Arshavin was still with us!
Now that's just silly.Quote:

Injury curse needs to piss off tbh.
Mesbah.......Theo finally found the one fullback that he could take on and beat. Still couldnt take advantage though.
That ref was horrible, obviously told to disrupt us as much as he believably could. He was oh so close to not giving the penalty
Another key part of the learning curve for Szczesny and Oxlade. Wilshere went through it last season. Those 3 are going to form the core for this team. Supported by Gibbs, Jenkinson, Coquelin and Miyaichi. We’ll hold on to Koscielny, Song, Sagna. And Van Persie is in this for the long haul, so I do actually think we’ll be able to strengthen a fair bit this summer even if we don’t spend much. Ironically, just as Wenger has called off ‘Project Youth’ and started bringing in Mertesacker, Arteta and more experienced players, the current crop of youngsters are the ones worth sticking with. They have already shown they are not a bunch of Vela’s. They have been performing at the highest level and they’re not the weak links in this squad. In fact, I think Oxlade staying on could’ve tipped it in our favour today.
Not playing until Monday is nice - gives everyone a chance to recover. Next up, killing off Pardew’s bunch of calypso charlatans would be welcome. Moving St. Totteringham’s day forward a year to April/May 2012 would be very welcome.
Yeah i'm tending to leaning towatds this tbh. Especailly the former, i hope Gev can settle next season.Quote:

Think your right Syn we have a nice Spine for this team for the next few seasons, all Wenger has to do is add quality and we'd match any team on our day.Quote:

Like you said he was playing like he was High, not the song we all know and love but tbh even though he has foubd crucial passes this season he has not been all that this season.Quote:

When Chamakh was coming on, I in fact wished Aliadiere was with us.. may be even Cygan up front. Anyone but Chakma!Quote:

Pretty much. Proud of the boys tonight. I've decided to ignore the toddlers and WUMs on this thread, they're just looking for a reaction. It was a fantastic performance and we should all be proud of their efforts. Play like that till the end of the season and whatever happens there'll be no complaints from me.Quote:

It was pretty good. LDG, IT, IT's workmate, Handy, Falvs and me.Quote:

Better late than never, I guess.
A decent sub should have been to bring on Miguel or Jenkinson at the left back and push Gibbs forward as a winger . Shift Gervinho to the right and bring on Oguzhan in the middle to help out Rosicky .
Rosicky :bow: RVP :bow: top draw!!!! Fuck milan. Fuck em all. That's what it's about. As long as we keep fighting like that, i don't give a fuck.

Nights like tonight are what being a Gooner is about. OK, we went out. But they gave everything, they fought till the end and they nearly climbed the seemingly impossible mountain. The atmosphere was brilliant tonight even after the final whistle. People got it. They got that the players had given everything and that's all we ask. Win, lose or draw so long as they put the effort in they deserve credit and support.
Come on Arsenal :scarf:
I'll be a chip off the old block.Quote:
