Team for tonight?

[Sir C]

I don't really care, now I come to think of it. :-(

All the joy's been sucked out of it.

[Burney]

I don't really care, now I come to think of it. :-(

All the joy's been sucked out of it.

:nod: I'd swap the lot for Tottenham going out of the CL and Liverpool not winning the league. Everything else is a big pile of 'Meh'.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

I don't really care, now I come to think of it. :-(

All the joy's been sucked out of it.

Jesus wept c what has happened here? You and I both stood on the old North Bank like young lions, repelling any who tried to occupy our territory*. And tonight we have a semi-final in what could be our first European trophy since 95' and you don't care!

*ran away like frightened girls

94, surely? We lost in 95 to the Nayim ****ing.

I fell out of love with the game once before, h. Around '93, when Graham sent teams out with the specific intention of intimidating the opposition with thuggery.

It took George's departure and the arrival of Bergkamp to remind me of the beauty of the game.

Emery has ruined my life, h. :-(

I did try to warn everyone. :shrug:

One look at him lurking on the touchline like an uncle you'd never ask to babysit and I knew he'd destroy all that was good about the club.

But everyone was all 'Oh, give him a chance!' and 'It's like a breath of fresh air'. :rolleyes:

Well now look where we are. Happy now?

Cech starts in goal. His best position.
Maitland Niles is at right wing-back
A back three of Mustafi, Sokratis & Koscielney gives a good base.
Kolasinac starts at left wing-back.
A midfield duo of Torreria and Xhaka cover the back three nicely.
iwobi starts on the right, Özil on the left.
A top two of Lacazette and Aubameyang complete an attacking looking lineup

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Oh do shut up you googling old tosser

Oh I still think it's too early to judge. Next season he might instigate his masterplan and win me round. :shrug:

On the other hand, he might not.

[IUFG]

94, surely? We lost in 95 to the Nayim ****ing.

Oh yes, what glory did the now canonised Arsene bring us in the two European finals we reached under him?

Oh, and the last couple of European semi-finals we reached under him





But we played lovely football. . .

:rolleyes:

[Burney]

Erm, he's by some distance the most successful manager in our history, i. :rubchin:

Would you rather be remembered for being a member of the losing Dutch world cup side in 74 and 78 or a part of the winning Greek side in the Euros in whenever it was? Success and achievment isn't a simple matter of black and white.

[Burney]

Oh do shut up you googling old tosser

Is that aimed at me for correcting you, you cack-handed buffoon?

I don't need to google events that are seared into my brain.

[Pat Vegas]

I don't really care, now I come to think of it. :-(

All the joy's been sucked out of it.

I am actually very excited.
We can say it's a worthless cup etc but we've never won it and would like to see us do it.

[Sir C]

:hehe: You think we're going to beat Valencia and Chelsea? :hehe:

Madman.

:nod: Everyone remembers those Dutch sides.

Krufts, Foreskins, VanGuggenheim...the other wons. Marvellous.

[IUFG]

Erm, he's by some distance the most successful manager in our history, i. :rubchin:

Agreed. FACT! I love(d) the man.

I also enjoy pointing out that all was not rosy under AW...

[Pat Vegas]

:hehe: You think we're going to beat Valencia and Chelsea? :hehe:

Madman.

We will win and Chelsea will lose.
4-0 tonight FACT.

That aside I quite like Valenica. lovely place.

[IUFG]

Success and achievment isn't a simple matter of black and white.

well, it now appears we might be getting somewhere...

[Burney]

Agreed. FACT! I love(d) the man.

I also enjoy pointing out that all was not rosy under AW...

Well no, it wasnt'. And I fulminated about it more than most when things like that pathetic capitulation against Galatasaray occurred.

But on balance, things were still much, much better.

[Sir C]

We will win and Chelsea will lose.
4-0 tonight FACT.

That aside I quite like Valenica. lovely place.

Are we at home tonight then?

If we win 4-0 I'll eat a microwaved ready meal.

[Burney]

Are we gonna get...y'know...'gubbed'?

Don't think 12 players starting is allowed Dick

[IUFG]

He did pick Almunia over 100 times, b. Shirley, you can find a little bit of hate for AW, just for that?

[Sir C]

I expect we'll pull one of those terrific performances out of the bag and win 3-1, setting up the inevitable 0-2 defeat in Spain.

Exasperation, yes. Frustration, yes. Bewilderment, yes.

Hate? Never.

I can only feel the negative emotions for AW that one inevitably feels for those one truly loves.

And I don't hate Emery. I simply wish I could ignore him and never be exposed to his foulness ever again.

He gave you a central midfield of Vieira and Petit.

He gave you a league title win at Whiet Hart Lane.

He gave you a league title win at Old Trafford.

He gave you an FA cup final victory over Manchester United which was 90 minutes of pure shíthousery.

He gave you a front three of Henry, Bergkamp and Pires.

And you bear a grudge about Almunia? :yikes:

Is there a peculiarly repulsive one? Liver and bacon, perhaps?

[Burney]

Is John Carew still playing for them? That **** always used to pitch up to arsefúck us in European games.

There is as well! :hehe:

Oh, now there's something riding on it, I really hope we win 4-0 :clap:

[Sir C]

7' 3" pretendy Norwegian John Carew? I expect so.

Never mind, Mustafi will mark him out of the game.

That's the fúcker. He was one of our many nemeses.

:hehe: The best thing about it will be that you'll be able to smell it when you lift up the lid. :puke:

[IUFG]

And you bear a grudge about Almunia? :yikes:

and Denilson

and Iwobi








and Vermaelen (the shít****)

agreed, the other stuff was rather quite positive indeed.

[IUFG]

You missed out the unbeaten season.

but apart from that, what did Arsene ever do for us?

:cooper:

[Viva Prat Vegas]

And Chamakh

and Gervinho

and half-time shirt-swapping Andros
