Is Bendtner playing up front by himself?

Not for Arsenal.

Inheriting a team that were already one of the best on the planet made is job, perhaps a little bit easier. I'd like to see how he'd do at a struggling club with a bunch of so-so or crap players.

IvySlayer

Sagna off, Eboue on.

Rosicky on for Diaby.

OPENROAD

Trying to get the player booked :mad:

Redzer7

Disappointing

That_Guy

Poor from Bendtner.

As opposed to Benitez who has managed to turn a decent side of 'Title Challengers' into one that's struggling to even finish 4th :rolleyes:

amacachi

Anyone else wonder how Bendtner manages to get his boots on the right way around?

Why was Ibra picked for that photo? He wasn't even there when they won those (except world club champ), methinks the messi's and Xavi's of this world would feel a little agrieved.

They are doing very well in the battle for 4th, if you check they are 4th. Also there might be a thread elsewhere for this important serious business matter

IvySlayer

Oh ffs. Couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.

Make no mistake the guy was pivotal to getting them six trophies.

CHD is more or less telling you that anyone would have got the same results.

I find that very short sighted.

Dont want to derail this thread anymore so take it to the Barca forum if anyone wants to add.

Great possession from Arsenal but their end product has been so so poor. Their crossing has been sh*t too.

They have nobody to cross to

kenon

Fantastic effort. Cracked it off the cross bar.

That_Guy

Fcuking hell. The noise of that. Unlucky from Drogba.

CHD

Didier is a bit of a legend tbh

MementoMori

So close for the hat-trick there.

Almunia doing an impressive impersonation of a staute.

SantryRed

Bendtner should of started this game. Although he's not as talented as Arshavin he just offers someone to hold the ball up.

K4t

Drogba's been practicing Ronaldo's free-taking technique I see! Great effort.

OPENROAD

How the **** was that a booking :mad:

That_Guy

Clever free kick. Not such a clever attempt.

IvySlayer

Almunia didn't even see it.

Wenger screaming a his players.

A Primal Nut

Barcelona haven't even gone behind in La Liga this season. The coach deserves some credit - particulary as everyone kept saying last season how weak their defence was and this would mean they would never win the champions league. But he sorted that out and won everything.

They hadn't won anything in the previous two season remember.

Some free kick by Drogba. :eek:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Totally missing the point of the argument as usual.

Someone start a new thread about this or something, the fact that roker has an opposing viewpoint to my own convinces me utterly of my correctness.:pac:

MementoMori

Woeful marking on Anelka there

Acres and acres of space.

Ashley cole has been excellent.

An absolutely sensational player, I only wish he was younger so we could see more and more of him.

Joe Cole for Anelka. What a sulk by him

Hank Scorpio

When is Van Persie back?

IvySlayer

On form, no-one can offer more tbh.

OPENROAD

We are really lacking a proper striker

April, apparently. If we are still in the Champions League when he comes back we might still have a chance to win a trophy. Unlikely he will make a big impact, but possible.

A Primal Nut

Everything Bendtner touches turns to dung.

5 mins ET.

Drogba off, Kalou on.

redout

No Van Persie, no Eduardo.

Arsenal just are not genuine title contenders.

That_Guy

Drogba off. Fantastic game today. Like he was never away.

everdead.ie

That touch by bendtner sums up arsenal today

Anyone who watched today's game can see how we missed Van Persie - of course we'd have a chance with him in the side. If United lost Rooney for the whole season, they would be in the same situation as Arsenal, or maybe even worse.

Lol @ Bendtner's attempt at a piece of skill.

Best left-back in the world, without a doubt.
