- This young Gunners team plays very attractive football and is a treat to watch ! Yes I agree they may not win this year but will certainly warm the hearts with their splendid display of free flowing football.Quote:
I've always liked Arsenal but I really don't see them being serious challengers this year.
Good to see Walcott finally come of of age - his pace is exhilirating.

Don't mention the words Champions League, triangle or a ship named Titanic ever again this season to Kelvin Leong.
For the past few weeks, the words Titanic and triangle have been the bane of my life as friends and family have constantly taken the mickey out of my beloved club with depressing jokes.
Verse one of the song from Titanic (My Heart will go on)
Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
I must say though - the lyrics really do ring a bell. In Spurs' case, the first line is what the Champions League is to us. In our dreams.
The third line is the taunt from Arsenal fans and a look at the standings proves their point.
Yes I do know that this is the worse start we have had since the year the Titanic sank, and yes I do know that Spurs have two points while a triangle has three. I know. Enough already!
Spurs are really going through a very lean patch !Quote:
Spurs sunk to their sixth defeat in eight games to stoke up the pressure on their Spanish manager, who left the Britannia Stadium pitch grim-faced.
It was the worst of matches for Tottenham and Ramos - a bitter defeat, two red cards and, not least, Croatian defender Vedran Corluka suffering a serious-looking head injury.
It started badly and rarely looked up for the visitors: Gareth Bale conceded a penalty and was red-carded 17 minutes into the game.
Danny Higginbotham scored from the spot and although Darren Bent equalised, Rory Delap grabbed the winner to leave Tottenham with two points from eight matches, their worst ever start to a season - worse still than 1912, the year the Titanic sunk, when they at least had three points from the opening eight games.
Another dramatic comeback for Liverpool after going 2-0 down against Wigan !
And at least the people on the Titanic had some chance. Spurs is going down.
Did you even watch it? Liverpool did not go 2-0 down to Wigan. It was 1-0 to Wigan then Liverpool equalised 1-1. Then Wigan went up 2-1 before Liverpool scored twice to finish the game 3-2.Quote:

- Mouth watering clash at Stamford bridge this Sunday ! Can the Reds beat the Blues ?Quote:
Xabi Alonso believes Liverpool have what it takes to go and smash Chelsea's unbeaten home run on this Sunday.
Rafa Benitez's men travel to Stamford Bridge for the weekend showdown aiming to end Chelsea's stunning sequence of 86 Premier League games without a loss on their own turf, an enviable record that stretches back to February 2004.
Liverpool, in stark contrast, have only managed to come away from west London with one win in the last 16 years - their worst set of results against top-flight teams and, under Benitez, have yet to register a win away from home against any of the other ‘Big Four' sides.
Nevertheless, after an impressive start to the season, Alonso feels Liverpool can upset the odds and return to Merseyside with all three points.
Liverpool riding high with lady luck currently. Something is wrong, they're using their end of season's luck too early already -- not that I mind truly...
I think Benitez will play for a draw. Everyone is worried about Gerrard and Torres being injured but I'm more worried Skrtel won't be fit. Our defence will get torn apart if Agger plays. Not that I think that he's a bad defender but Chelsea are too strong for us at the minute.
Did anyone noticed that Chelsea lost gracefully? I doubt that if Mourinho was still in charge, we'd get a different response from their camp, following a loss like this.
Woohoo! The Reds go marching on! Yes, but its still too early to say anything concrete. I'm hoping that Carragher + Gerrard don't get injured, thats all.
Tottenham Spurs have bounced back.
Back to back wins against Arsenal and Liverpool !
Whoopa Harry Redknapp has got them back to winning ways !
If anyone is capable of saving Spurs, it's Redknapp.
If anyone is capable of destroying Spurs, it's the Brazilian Gomes the Bundling Goalkeeper.
Spurs continue their good run.
Gunners ambush the Red devils at the Emirates.
Liverpool and Chelsea continue the domination of the EPL.
^ Do you offer anything other than soundbites? Your posts read like a bad summary at the end of MOTD.
Samir Nasri's second goal was a screamer. Van De Sar was rooted to the ground.

Does Nasri has the potential to emulate the Arsenal greats? I mean, yes he scored 2 very good goals, but he's a little lightweight IMHO. I suppose most of Arsenal's line-ups are, in that sense...
And Liverpool didn't really dominate the EPL. They're just lucky, and this hearing from a BIG, HUMONGOUS, PASSIONATE, but logical fan, moi. I still believe, they lack that 1 more big game player.
Chelsea, pffft, they've too many big game players like Deco, Terry, Lampard, Ballack and Drogba. Liverpool has.. Torres, Gerrard, um.. ahhh.. my brain hurts! Gaah! Bring in Podolski to Anfield!!!!
- Well true this Gunners side is a lean and lightweight outfit of young kids. But tremondous talent Arsene Wenger has groomed who can upset any big side like Man. U (with so many stars) playing attractive passing football which is a real treat to the eyes. Hail thee Gunners !!!Quote:

No doubt, they are a magnificiently brilliant and enigmatic bunch of players for their age, largely attributed to Wenger's management and sound tactics, but - yes there is a but here - the thing is, their consistency is kind of enigmatic as well.
Its as if they're thinking that every game will be a 6-0 or 4-0 scoreline in their favour, and when a 1-0 loss hits them, their uncertainties emerge, at which point it will be up to Arsene to raise their spirits again.
Why do I feel that Arsene is growing tired of having to cajole them for every game. Maybe its just me...

And Benitez lays the law that not even Torres is safe from the dreaded bench. Wow. Brilliant.
Well Gallas is out - Fabregas is the new captain for Arsenal !
Gallas says some stars he has played with refuse to score with their sexy WAGs ahead of a crunch tie because “they won’t have the legs left” to win the game.
