Wojciech Szczesny believes his Arsenal side can go one better than Chelsea - by winning the Champions League AND finishing in the top four at home.
Keeper Szczesy’s return from injury has coincided with the best week of the Gunners' season - a 5-2 thrashing of Tottenham in the North London derby followed by securing qualification for the knockout phase in Europe's premier competition for the 13th consecutive season.
The European Cup final will be held at Wembley in May for the second time in three years, and the Gunners have slipped quietly into the last 16 while big-spending Chelsea and Manchester City have struggled.
Arsene Wenger’s men are not among the Champions League favourites and have struggled to put together a winning run at home.
But Poland international Szczesny claims they have renewed momentum.
“You have ups and downs in every season and we have been through some tough weeks recently," he said.
“We came back stronger than ever against Tottenham and we want to enjoy that moment as long as we can. We’ve only had two positive results and we want to put together a longer run - then we can start talking about the real Arsenal again.
“But Arsenal have qualified for the last 16 every year for the last few years, so I don’t think us reaching the knockout stage should surprise anyone.
“Chelsea and Manchester City not doing well is a massive surprise, but at the moment we are just enjoying that we’ve got through.
“Of course, we hope to get a good result in Olympiacos [in next month's group-phase finale], but it’s not in our hands whether we finish top of our group. We have to rely on someone else, but I’m not sure if it’s the most important thing to come top.
“In the last 16, whether you finish first or second, you come up against the best teams in Europe. We came top last year, played AC Milan away and lost 4-0.
“We can take inspiration from what Chelsea did last season.
"They weren’t fantastic in the Premier League but they had a fantastic run in Europe. I hope we can do what they did, but also perform a little bit better in the Premier League.”
Szsersczszny :rose:
Wengeritis now has full hold.
Sell him he's shit. (and worth slightly more than we paid for him)Quote:

Yep fuck players showing ambition tbh.Quote:

the other night i remember him overcomplicating another pass and it went straight to the opposition player when he could have just lumped it up the pitch to giroud.
always has a mistake in him but he's good enough
for now.
Pretty much although Mannone did well when he stepped in.Quote:

Yep, Ches is shit, Arsenal are small time. We get it. Couldn't you just put it in your signature or something, to save time?Quote:

What a fat ****. (I mean Southall)

"...or City." :haha:
Tbf we aren't a big club anymore. Wengers words not mine.
Even if that's true, City? A club that couldn't come close to filling a less than 50k capacity stadium a couple o' seasons ago. A team that cannot make it beyond the group stages of a piss poor, watered down, boring ass CL tournament.Quote:

On the CL front, they have been in 2 Group of Deaths and do not forget, Arsenal were a bit shit when we were first in the CL in groups nowhere near as hard. Historically City are nowhere near us but I'm not a Liverpool fan who lives on history. Its all about the hear and now and City unfortunately piss on us comfortably. They go for trophies. We go for 4th place being quite content with a CL place, something the likes of Everton, Spuds, Newcastle are fighting for. We don't give a shit about trophies. Only the money. That's something the small ass clubs do when they get all excited when they get a big club in the cups when they know they have no chance of winning.
That's a pretty fair assessment of Ches from Nev.
He is potentially a very good goalkeeper but you get the feeling he's not going to reach that potential as he doesn't work hard enough.
You can have all the talent in the world but you have to still work hard to reach the top e.g. Messi, Ronaldo etc
Because they haven't been seeded. i.e. Their pedigree is shite.Quote:

Even Southall thinks we're dogshite now! Mind you if you watch us on the pitch these days it's not hard to see why he might think that.
He's right about Chesney though, the guy is way too relaxed...it just seems to me he knows he's got his place and isn't as focussed as he could be, I think that's a common problem at the club, players not focussed enough and never pushed to become winners, we wrap players up in cotton wool way too much.
The seeding system is sh*te to be honest, I don't see why a team who are Champions should be seeded below a team who are 3rd/4th in the league...it's nonsense.Quote:

The best of what we currently have.
I know a lot is thought of Damien Martinez within the club, but I've only really seen the COC performance, where he sucked arse hard.
Southall is a twat who gives a fuck what he thinks.Quote:

And I'm going to go slightly off topic by saying Wenger still trumps those ****s of managers who have or still run those clubs. Sure he's a has been at best now, but his glory days still far supercede the glory days of these 'can buy any player' managers. The best and most breath taking football ever witnessed in the Prem was played under his tutelage and stewardship. Now, you watch a Chavs and/or City game, and you are bored half to death, all the time asking yourself is this what football looks like coming from the supposed best teams with some of the best players on the planet?
Spot fucking on.Quote:
