sportsboy: Arsenal V. Milan

sportsboy 02.15.12	fuckin artowrk
porch 02.15.12	arsenal will take it, should be a decent game tho
thumbcrusher 02.15.12	away in milan, i doubt arsenal will win. i reckon it'll be 2-0 or 2-1 milan
sportsboy 02.15.12	i'm not sure, milan up top sure is sweet
porch 02.15.12	trust me on this one fellas
Detritivore 02.15.12	AC Milan cum over Arsenal
mahan9792 02.15.12	Gooner for life. should be a good match
sifFlammable 02.15.12	hoping henry treats us with another drama
Alexcore 02.15.12	expected a recspec's list. anw, arsenal sucks away, I'm really surprised they got to beat Sunderland, even in the injury time. Milan's defense is pretty good at San Siro, so I really doubt Arsenal will even manage to score.
Recspecs 02.15.12	Damn, you know me too well. I'll end up making a list sometime tomorrow. I honestly don't know what to expect, should be a great match. Henry comes off the bench late and assists RvP with an early goal from the Ox. Zlatan scores once and Arsenal leaves the San Siro 2-1 on aggregate.
devious 02.15.12	piss off, ya wanker. Gunners won't lose.
Sgian 02.15.12	My boys Arsenal versus the shitty side of Milan. lol
sportsboy 02.15.12	forza inter bitch also sagna to come up big as always
Bloodbirds 02.15.12	If milan play like they did against barcelona, arsenal have no chance. But they have been very inconsistent this season. Should be an interesting match.
Recspecs 02.15.12	I just heard that Kevin Prince-Boateng is set to return. That could be deadly.
JWT155 02.15.12	Fuck Arsenal
Sgian 02.15.12	oh the days when KP Boateng was just an average pompey player...
rockandmetaljunkie 02.15.12	i really hope Milan will knock out Arsenal from the competition
Sgian 02.15.12	i really can't see anything other than a home win for AC personally
ncguitar 02.15.12	Milan wins. Finish him! Milan wins. Fatality.
anarchistfish 02.15.12	I'll probably support Arsenal cos although I don't follow football much anymore, I used to support them. Mostly because they were pretty much the french national team with a better coach
Recspecs 02.15.12	"i really hope Milan will knock out Arsenal from the competition" i really hope you burn in hell for an eternityyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Pentagon 02.15.12	eh, fuck arsenal. I can see them edging the tie though.
Nikkolae 02.15.12	Ibra and Boateng are both set to play today, plus arsenal is like at its all time low and they only got Van Persie going for them, milan wins duh
Recspecs 02.15.12	"plus arsenal is like at its all time low and they only got Van Persie going for them, milan wins duh" No.....we have ALEX OXLADE CHAMBERLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OX OX OX OX OX OX OX OX OX PLUS THE VERMINATOR!!!!!!!
anarchistfish 02.15.12	Chamberlain's a beast shame the Arsenal defence doesn't really match up
Recspecs 02.15.12	We will be fine. I projected Zlatan to score, mainly because he is Zlatan and can do whatever he wants.
Strider 02.15.12	Milan rapes Arsenal, they have Ibrahimovic, 'nuff said
sportsboy 02.15.12	haha recspecs you a sweet gooner props also van-persie>ibra
Recspecs 02.15.12	Lol. If you all tweet, I match day tweet like a son of a gun. Follow me @LukeSarazine if you dare.
Pentagon 02.15.12	"We will be fine. I projected Zlatan to score, mainly because he is Zlatan and can do whatever he wants." yeah except score against against big clubs when it matters...
Recspecs 02.15.12	Damn. Good goal by Boateng.
anarchistfish 02.15.12	ffs
Alexcore 02.15.12	very attacking starting line-up from milan, so yea, 1-0 was a matter of time
Recspecs 02.15.12	I think we will be lucky to salvage an away goal. I doubt we will penetrate this defense.
Alexcore 02.15.12	agree
Recspecs 02.15.12	Fucking hell man.
sportsboy 02.15.12	we're so fucked FML
AliW1993 02.15.12	"We will be fine" Errr... yeah Lol
jefflebowski 02.15.12	porch on the money once again
Recspecs 02.15.12	I know. Like. What the actual fuck was going on.
porch 02.15.12	lol
anarchistfish 02.16.12	Well I expected Milan to win but that was ridiculous
thebhoy 02.16.12	lol Arsenal
Sgian 02.16.12	lmao what an aasolute gubbing that was. i told you.
Recspecs 02.16.12	Seriously. What the fuck. Johan Djorou is a fucking clown.
rockandmetaljunkie 02.16.12	"i really hope you burn in hell for an eternityyyyyyyyyyyyyy" hahahahahaha shhhhhhh!!!
BigBlob 02.16.12	So typical. Why the fuck did we play 4-3-3 against such an attacking team. RVP got no service the entire match.
Recspecs 02.16.12	Wenger is a fool, I'm not saying that we should fire him.....but goddammit we need to keep RvP and get Eden Hazard. Plus get rid of Arshavin and possibly Chamahk.
BigBlob 02.16.12	Get rid of- Chamakh, Arshavin, Djourou, Squillaci, Denilson. Hazard is a bit overrated I think. I mean Gervinho scored more goals and got more assists than him when he played for Lille last season. Rather we spent big and got Mario Götze to play instead of Ramsey.
AliW1993 02.16.12	Arsenal need more than just Hazard - and it looks like he's going to Spurs anyway. You need at least one center-back, preferably a fucking monster like Samba, as well as a left-back and a beastly defensive mid - Cheik Tiote would be ideal, but you can't fucking have him! Dead wood like Arshavin, Rosicky, Denilson, Squillaci and Chamahk need to go, and you still need at least one more striker. Overall, you're in quite a mess!
thumbcrusher 02.16.12	i don't think it's fair on RVP to make him stay, he's too good to just have an FA cup from 2005 to his name :P
DoubtGin 02.16.12	the shitty side of Milan raped your boys
Pentagon 02.16.12	I really doubt that RVP will stay beyond this season, he deserves more. And AliW pretty much hit the nail on the head, you guys are pretty screwed.
BigBlob 02.16.12	We're not screwed as such. We are always soo unlucky with injuries. (or maybe our medical staff is rubbish?). Last night our best defender Koscielny got injured! And this season alone Vermaelen, Santos, Gibbs, Mert, Djourou, Arteta, Diaby, Jenkinson, Sagna and WILSHERE have all picked up injuries lasting over 3 weeks. What a joke.
thumbcrusher 02.16.12	horrible thing for arsenal though is they've spent the last 7 years so playing kids and not winning anything so they can develop and get to this point.lol. though aside as a united fan i must say it was more fun to have arsenal as rivials than chelsea were as they made the games way more enjoyable to watch between each other cause they played good football. suppose city are making the top of the table games more exciting this year, but i wouldn't like a repeat of what happended at OT haha
BigBlob 02.16.12	thumbcrusher - The sad thing is, this youth policy has been an excuse to not spend money. Arsenal is just a business. Profits first, trophies second. Thats why we always sell off our best players and buy cheap. Thats why Wenger will never get sacked by the board. His way of managing means the club doesnt have to spend big money.
thumbcrusher 02.16.12	i think he could spend money if he wanted to, he had that panic attack on the last day of the summer transfer window and spent a fair amount.
Recspecs 02.16.12	I just hope we can at least finish in the top 4. If we can do that, there is still hope for next season.
AliW1993 02.16.12	I don't think you can point to injuries, because realistically how many of those players would get into the starting XI's of City, Utd, Spurs or even Chelsea. I'm a Newcastle fan and I'd honestly wouldn't put any of those into our first XI, with the possible exception of Sagna.
thumbcrusher 02.16.12	he didn't mention wilshire who's been out all year...
BigBlob 02.16.12	AliW1993- I know they aren't the best players ever. But I think every season for the last 5 years Arsenal have had the most injured players. Either that is really bad luck, or our medical staff need sacked.
BigBlob 02.16.12	How could I forget about Wilshere!
AliW1993 02.16.12	Yeah but if you're expecting him to save your season then you're going to be sorely disappointed I'm afraid. I don't doubt that he's going to be a great player (he's already an excellent one), but he's not going to single handedly turn you into a top 4 team. Arsenal's only saving grace this season has been that Chelsea and Liverpool have been so bad. And RVP of course.
Recspecs 02.16.12	At least Wojcech has been solid.
AliW1993 02.16.12	Yeah Szchezny (no idea how you spell that), Oxlade-Chamberlain and Song deserve distant honourable mentions.
Recspecs 02.16.12	Alex Song is arguably in the top 3 defensive midfielders in England.
sifFlammable 02.16.12	lol alex song did you even watch the game yesterday
Recspecs 02.17.12	I'm talking about the season overall lol. I'm trying to forget yesterday.
sifFlammable 02.17.12	bear in mind not all teams (esp english teams) use defensive midfielders + he is naturally one of the better ones just because he is in one of the better teams but that said the inconsistent mr krunk wil stll be behind these guys in the pecking order for me (unless ur being extra specific about the 'defensive midfield' position): tiote lucas leiva davidpizarro de jong (best destroyer in europe next to masch) yaya toure (technically) michael carrick
sifFlammable 02.17.12	seriously im not even sure if sagna would make first xi in other top teams after yesterday's display RVP is probably the only one who could even make it to united's XI
Recspecs 02.17.12	It was just one shitty game, but I completely understand.
sifFlammable 02.17.12	ill still be a fan just because no club fosters more emotional attachment than them but man i hope the board wakes up
Recspecs 02.17.12	It's hard being an Arsenal supporter, but we endure lol.
AliW1993 02.17.12	Yeah it's really hard being in the top 4 for 14 consecutive years. Try being 12 points ahead at the top of the league and still finishing second, losing two FA cup finals in a row, going through nine (mostly shit) managers in 6 years, being relegated in disgrace and generally being a constant source of entertainment for the rest of the country. Tiote and Toure are streets ahead of the rest when it comes to PL defensive mids.
BigBlob 02.17.12	Sagna could get into any PL team. His performance was terrible against Milan, but thats because he has been out injured with a broken leg for 5 months! Of course he was going to be tired.
sportsboy 02.17.12	flammable i would definitely play sagna over united's right back and szszcensy over de gea/lindergaard
Pentagon 02.17.12	Tiote and Toure are streets ahead of the rest when it comes to PL defensive miss. Lucas is great as well man. And Im a liverpool fan, so I kinda feel how all of you Arsenal/Newcastle fans are feeling right now (used to be feeling in the case of Newcastle)
thumbcrusher 02.17.12	scott parker's one of the best in my opinon. (if you count toure as a def midfielder parker defiantely is) How he only has 10 England caps at 31 years old yet Gareth Barry has 51 is beyond me.
Recspecs 02.17.12	Because Capello was a dumbass. Hopefully Redknapp will take the job.
thumbcrusher 02.17.12	Capello gave him 7 of those, even if they were only in 2011.
Recspecs 02.17.12	I would still put several others in that position over him.
Sgian 02.17.12	Worldwide yeah not necessarily english 'holding' mids
AliW1993 02.17.12	Oh shit yeah how did I forget Parker. I don't think that he can control a game the way that Tiote and Toure do but his sheer bravery and commitment makes up for that.
sifFlammable 02.17.12	parker is great too. i wouldn't necessarily think he's /better/ than song - they have their own strengths and there isnt a clear disparity of class
sifFlammable 02.17.12	"flammable i would definitely play sagna over united's right back and szszcensy over de gea/lindergaard" fair enough, although i dont think rafael / de gea is definitely inferior to sagna / szeszesny (perhaps less so on rafael, but i still like him for his guts)
