Arsenal Thread 2013/14

[gooner2]

That failure to hold on at Napoli has really come back to bite Arsenal. I know we beat Bayern in Munich this season, and Arsenal did it last season, but I just can't see them getting through here at all.

It is a no lose situation, if we beat the champions of europe our confidence will be so high itll carry us through, if we get knocked its very much expected and we can concentrate on the league.
We dont have the squad to compete on all fronts and the champions league is just an adventure this season so we might as well meet the best early.

I think we have squad to win it and bayern are not as good as hype leads. both us and city have won over their and if we first leg and don,t lose away goal then fancy us to knock them out.

They only seem to lose when it doesnt matter. I would take a draw at home now , that might put some pressure on them, but if they are on form they win.

But if we beat them first leg and keep a clean sheet we have every chance in second leg of knocking them out.

Hype?

Thiago, Muller, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Robben, Kroos...

Compared to what? Ozil, Giroud, Ramsey and Wilshere?

We wont keep a clean sheet against them at home. That is a very unlikely if.

The F.a cup 5th round and quarters fall around the same time as that tough fixture list in feb and march.
That's some shuffling around Arsene will have to do, do you think you'll buy in January , are there any players being mentioned ?

They have a few good fans i've met over the years but lately the utter bollocks the majority of there self entitled pricks I end up meeting at games etc spout make my piss boil, can't stand mouthy southern twats that run away when the going gets tough, which it will, you are notorious bottlers and everyone including there own know it!

Arsenal fans are definitely some of the least informed around. Including fellow season ticket holders i have to listen to spout rubbish every week. Maybe because the ones who really know the club cant afford to go to games anymore. It is a different fan base now to the one we had at highbury.

However, what we have won over the years and the fact that we manage to compete to an extent with a fraction of what others spend, including somehow being top of the league with a far inferior squad to most our rivals cant class us as bottlers, in some ways we continue to overachieve. Probably down to our brilliant manager (who most arsenal fans wanted sacked).

Interesting point about different fan base since the stadium move.

I'd always thought the Board lied to the hardcore fans when 'selling' the move to them, saying there'd be no impact on buying players etc. Your point suggests not only did the Board lie to them, they didn't actually want them.

The board want to maximise profits, moving and raising the prices was always going to alienate the real fan base that supported the club through decades. The arsenal fan base traditionally was irish and ethnic minorities who settled in islington at a time when it was all boarded up, high unemployment and low social class, that was in the 60s. The fan base grew from there to become very strong and very local. It has all changed now, It has been replaced by professionals/office workers/ wealthy families. Their loyalty is measured by how much they spend following the club and not by how much they know about it. Unfortunately it gives them a false idea that if you spend a lot of money you are allowed to disgrace yourself. I am lucky enough to still be able to afford a season ticket , but it doesnt come with a win guarantee or a happy ending, otherwise I would go to the cinema.

According to some little rat called "Alistair" a gooner on redcafe our squad is a disgrace :D

How dare we buy Jovetic and him not make the squad never mind the fact he is injured :D

Bless his silk lined cotton socks.

I read that - he's fits right in on that site. Uneducated(football wise), red top reading pleb who spends his time having shit banter with the rest of the fuckwits.
The worse thing is, not one Utd fan had the knowledge to put him right regarding Jovetic and his injuries being the reason he hasn't played.

That's pretty much my outlook on drawing Barcelona

Now that we're out of the Group, lets play the best, and experience what the Champions League should be all about.

I don't think Bayern Munich will hold too many fears for Arsenal as you beat Dortmund and did well at Bayern last season.

I was in awe with them after we played them at home, but perhaps I was wrong. The danger with playing Bayern is that they are so strong domestically that they can afford to focus on your game entirely.

If we want easy European ties we should settle for the europa league, the whole point of being in the champions league is to meet the giants of european football, no fear, lots of excitement , whatever the outcome.

You have to remember that most of the posters on Red Cafe could not find England on a map let alone Manchester, I think about 90% are foreign based fans

Ramsey and wilshire better than Fernandinho and yaya Toure?
You must be fucking joking pal. Neither one would get into our starting 11.

WIlshire is a little bit better then fernandinho and i am not joking and so is ramsey. They are far better going forward then he is and more consistent.

To be fair i think ya toure is better then all three as a all round player.

-- Sun Oct 20, 2013 9:12 pm --

Wilshere as good as Yaya....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I will admit toure is bit better at the moment. You can,t deny though Wilshire is a world class midfielder as the first goal he showed yesterday showed. It was harlem globetrotters stuff that.

Oh there are some gems on this thread

I do like Neil Warnock , I never knew he had so much love for arsenal, he is always defending us. Must be that cup replay we gave him when he was at Sheffield united. The game itself, we didnt deserve anything out of, city were completely dominant, but that is expected as you have better players than us.

As far as arsenal fans letting wenger "get away with it" , he is the best manager we have ever had, he has personally won as many league titles as manchester city in your entire history so you could see where we come from. People wanting wenger out are fickle bandwagon jumpers who hide behind the money they spend on tickets as an excuse to get stupid. Just my opinion.

As for aguero getting injured, I didnt see any arsenal fan here being happy about it. Hopefully its not too serious and it was a nice touch for the city fans to applaud koscielny off. That match was played in very good spirit overall, apart from one shockingly high challenge by yaya toure but he isnt a nasty player.

Our entire history isn't over yet. Come back in 10 years time and we'll have another look.

Arsene Wenger has won 3 top flight titles in England, the same number as Manchester City and also Huddersfield, who after winning 3 titles in a row had their manager and best players taken from them by Arsenal who despite being perennial strugglers were then bank rolled by a (allegedly corrupt) sugar daddy that no teams could compete with. Coincidence?

Most Arsenal fans wouldn't give a fuck mate. They even use the fact that they paid their way into the top flight as a badge of honour. Shameless fucking hypocrites

never thought i d have to come upstairs fora laugh. this thread has some gold within..... oh and by mid march` the goners will be competing for nothing :P
