I dnt know about this season man. Seems like the Carling Cup, which was designed to get little teams in Europe such boro and bolton, is being seen as one of the big trophies. It doesnt do any good for the top teams who are most likely going to finish in a CL place, to battle each other for this cup. Soma_Inc if anything is over-rated its the carling cup. Remember it wasn't that easy to win as you're making out, they did take you to extra time.

Bob, I am rather worried about the extent of Pires's injury than those two points we dropped this afternoon. I'm not worried about pires's injury, the points are more valuable. Pires is not the pires of last season. The free scoring midfielder is one of the best goal scoring midfielders in Europe. Sadly, we have not seen any of this this season. Admittedly he took initiative against the chelsea match when he had to help Cesc and young Flamini. He deserves credit for that, but he simply has not put in the performances we know he can when we've needed him. I think that if he doesn't improve in the coming 10 or so games, we will have to admit that pires has lost his touch and should put on the window for shopping.

Viking, Why doesn't he do the same for Arsenal (set up goals)? For me, Bergkamp is the person who provides the most assists (when he plays) and who's task is to set up for others to score If you actually look at Henry's stats you will see that if he doesn't score in a match he always contributes to other goals. lets take the 4-2 loss against utd. Who set up both of the goals that arsenal scored? Henry. Just another thing you might be interested in, Henry was the topscorer and got most assists as a striker last season. Im sure you will come up with a counter reply but make sure you do some REAL research first seen as you're an Analyst . Peace!

Quite interesting. I did get the overtaking one right but don't agree that you can overtake last if you're first. Overtaking would mean to take over his position,who would wanna go from 1st to last??

The weird thing is, lately lesbianism has become a growing trend in our community and I seriously wonder why? hmm I guess our men aren't doing an apt job as I thought..... More females are born compared to male. The world consists of more female than male and will reportedly go up to 1 male to 50 females. Because of this we are getting all kinds of women such as lesbians. Runaway, I suggest that you try to bring her back to her senses if not go your seperate way before she converts you to.

Soma_Inc, Looks like your team is falling apart. What happened to Jose's cockiness?? It's clear he is just a sore loser man, sad. I thought a manager of his calibre would at least be humble about a defeat, especially with chelsea having a good chance to win at the bridge.

BOB, I agree with what you say because it will take a crazy night for the Gunners to go through especially since Sol is gonna be out for the return leg. I still have faith that we will go through but Im still 60/40 on it but with the away goal theres always a chance. Arsenal are gonna have to defend by attacking Bayern and not let them get the ball to the attackers , but I still can't see Bayern not scoring at least one goal. By the way did you guys hear the announcer at the Olympic Stadium. Taking the piss!

NGonge, You reckon Henry is only good against average teams? Is that why he has nominated for the past 3 WPOTY and came second. I think you should carefully consider your words when you speak or gonge around some other topics.He plays great when he has the right service and he didnt get that against Bayern.

Did you hear Mourinho got kicked up the Barse and denied he didn't. Arsenal have to win 2-0 at home man u have to win 2-0 away from home, now which 1 is harder? Liverpool were class and took home advantage. Chelsea, looks an easy task,1-0 at the Bridge, but its not so easy. You never know they are the king of 1-0s. Maxi Lopez? Great player just great!

Damn!!! That is some curious kid :eek:

I still fancy Milan over United even though Sheva is out. Arsenal will go through by away goals, Ballack is out injured for the match. Makaay is not playing to his best ability at the moment which gives toure and cygan a somewhat relief. Liverpool might edge it at home because their home crowd is just mad and intimidates any opposition team that visit that damned stadium.

This kid is very talented but he is only a kid. It has reportedly been said that teams like r.madrid and man u are watching him and that could put too much pressure on his shoulders. If he does make it as a pro where do u guys think he'll end up? Personally I think Barca

Fair enough Viking but remember the champions League is full of unexpected surpirses. Remember last season Porto V Man U. United had it won until the last minute. It took just 1 goal to change a tie around. I remember Alenitchev being substituted and he went str8 to the dressing room thinking the game was over, as soon as he heard they scored he came running back out. Sol Campbell will certainly be out and that could prove crucial. But Bayern are more of a team that defends and not much of an attack minded side. BUT, and this is a big but. They are just crazy and accurate with their freekicks and corners Arsenal will have to watch.

I dnt think any team should be thinking the won whatever comp they are in unless they have the lifted the trophy. Chelsea have a great chance of winning because they are top but that doesnt garantue anything. It looks like the're gonna slip up with how their form is going. About Man U, I dunno but what I do know is Arsenal certainly will be going all out in all comps esp. UCL.

Soma_Inc, the quadruple is impossible man. Even a squad of chelsea's size can not do it. Theres gonna be an importance level between the cups because the UCl and Carling Cup are not of the same calibre. Northener, you are seriously gettin your self in trouble with your words man. How can you underestimate Arsenal. Only time will tell and you better hope l'pool are gonna overachieve by finishing in the top 6.HAHAHA

Arsenal V Bayern - Leg1 Draw Leg2 Bayern win - Bayern through Viking, what do youy mean by that? You seriously think they are going to beat us at Highbury? Their best bet to win is in the first leg,arsenal are away and without sol campbell.

I know man , Beattie is a typical british sort of player, agressive. Northener, I mean what can I say, BOB said it all. Do you guys remember Denis Wise being kicked out of Leicester FC for breaking a team mate's cheekbone.

I think he's had enough. Theres only so much a liverpool fan can take. Besides I might have the mderators on my case if they read what I wrote. BUT, if Northener still continues, I'll GUN him down!!

U know how it is , with passion ,with passion. i have never liked this team and I never will. The only reason why I went for barca coz robben will be missing. He is my fav dutch player man but we'll see. Concerning liverpool if they happen to catch berbatov on a bad day they will go thru if not well then God bless them because they are gonna need it.

I definitly agree with that description. Keep up bruv.

Nice poem. Thanks for sharing it with us.

There are some people who can read arabic and those who can't. I can read arabic but not the fonts. Please try to find a bigger font. Thank you.

It is kinda disturbing to hear that this would go on in Arab nations with them supposedly being the centre of Islam.

I agree with Diamante. From the answers I seen, I do think ppl are taking this question rather lightly. I was just a little kid and I don't remember much. All I could remember is that our car window got shattered by a bullet and my neck ended up full with glass. I even had to endure a surgery to take the glass out and the scar is still present to this day.

Ok guys, im sorry I had to get ugly but that's how I get from time to time. If ur talkin' all of this c''p just to annoy me, then congratulations you did. But now I know just what to expect from u Northener.
