Think one of the reasons Arsenal struggled today is that Gilberto wasn't playing. Its only in the last two years or so that I have really noticed how good a protector of the back 4 the chap is. Sadly i think Flamini is not up to it this season, but hopefully he and the rest of the squad can come back stronger next year.

Not looking good for Everton.

Necronomicon

I don't know if someone mentioned it but I had to chuckle during the Chelsea/Bolton game when Drogba got his first goal, the commentator said "Well to be honest, Benayoun could have done better to stop Drogba...." Could've sworn he plays for West Ham

Lemlin

The RTE comedy commentators strike again!

Couldn't be bothered rooting up the old thread but Georgie had a howler on Wednesday night:


"Ireland have won a corner, and in a very good position".

Cyprus have never qualified for a World Cup, and they never will!

Quite prophetic there from George.

Arsenal are in real trouble now. 4 away games, 3 defeats and 1 draw. Frankly, thats terrible. Even with all the injured players, you'd expect the second string to be good enough to take on Middlesborogh, West Brom, and West Ham. While its good to see these teams doing well, you have to ask yourself what's gone wrong at Arsenal? Wenger has always managed to get the best out of mediocre players - God knows, he won the league with Emmanuel Petit, Christopher Wreh, Kanu and the like. In my opinion, the current crop are far better than them, and yet they don't seem to be able to get it together. The back four seemed to be playing very well at the end of last season, but this year, they seem to be all over the shop. Whats worse, the goals really seem to have dried up at the moment. We've relied on 2 goals each from Pascal Cygan and Sol Campbell, and a goal from Phillipe Senderos today. Whats happened to regular scorers like Freddy Ljungberg, Robert Pires, Jose Reyes and the like? At the moment, its just not happenning. Very depressing stuff.

But the competition is now alot harder than what Kanu and Wreh faced.

Tusky you are banned from the soccer forum for a week for abuse.

Will check sponsors.

Rob Styles is a grade A wan*er, and I'll take whatever ban I get for that with my head held high.

That Essien challenge was a disgrace, but Mr Chelsea Fan himself has a nice little chat with Essien and gives him a yellow. You were bought Styles and there's no f*cking dispute. S*it referee.

:mad:

whos to say Crespo wouldnt be knocking them in at the same rate as Droghba if he were starting

I think Crespo was left out because he had to take three flights home from Uruguay during the week, and only arrived back on Friday.

That said you can't argue with Drogba's form. For all his haters his record speaks for itself, and despite a few chances he may miss, he regularly creates things out of nothing.
