Open Letter To Arsenal Fans
Dear Arsenal Analysis and other Gooners
I’m really glad that AbsolutelyUNITED’S idea to compare the Arsenal and United teams has had such an impact. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so thanks alot for your article.
I like your site and think your article was a good read. You’ve really tried to be fair but have you been smoking crack? I read your words and am now very worried for your state of mental health.
Arsenal fans carry on as though it was their team that won the league last season. Points mean prizes and what were yours last season? Oh, that’s right, out of Europe early! Out of the FA Cup before it got interesting! Nowhere in the league and second in the League cup!
But Gooners won’t let truth get in the way of ‘please me’ fantasies about the greatness of the Arsenal squad. How can it be that Arsenal performed so badly last season when clearly your site and a host of others rate the current Arsenal 11 as better than Brazil? Was it a referee’s conspiracy? Was it rude boy opposition teams daring to score more goals than precious Arsenal? Or was it simply that the Gunners just weren’t good enough.
Most objective observers would say it is obvious that Arsenal players and the Arsenal team were inferior last term. Who but the criminally insane would expect one-eyed Gooners to see it that way?
But that was last year. This term, Arsenal have stormed to the top of the league. We at AU have watched the Gunners progress with some concern. Read our reports. We rated the Gunners pre-season performance against Lazio and admired the way the Wenger boys came back against Fulham. The despatch of City was a well-earned victory whilst the disarming of Derby and West Ham were ominous signs of an emerging team.
But lets face facts Gooners. You have done well against nobodies and middling teams. When you are as ruthless against the big boys, we’ll take more notice.
We didn’t know how close the teams would be when we compared the sides last month but with Arsenal first and United second, the theme has certainly caught on judging by the response we’ve had and seen elsewhere.
There have been many variations of the combined team sheet, most of them laughable but Arsenal Analysis at least attempted some argument so we’ll return the favour. Of course, we stand by our objective study of last month but we’ll follow the lines of thought offered on the Arsenal Analysis site.
Goalkeeper
Respect. You could have started with a piece of lunacy and slotted in an Arsenal keeper but you took off the Gunner blinkers to recognise that EVDS is head and shoulders above anything currently found in north London.
Winner: EVDS
Right back
Again, AU appreciates your realism. Gary Neville is far and away the best right back at either club and probably in Britain. But as you say, he’s not in the team. You big up Sagna but after a handful of games, even you might want to reserve judgement. Remember your fox in the box who is now playing in the Championship, as we remember Champions League hero Liam Miller.
Eboué is a good player but no longer picked in the rightback position, which leaves Wes Brown out on his own. A proven player of pedigree who is getting better in the role.
Winner: Brown
Centre Half
“Ask any Arsenal fan if they would change Kolo for any centre back in the world and I guarantee that very few would,” is your opening gambit, proving that those Arsenal fans should be sectioned. Toure is a lovely player but better that Rio. Not a chance. He’s a midfielder doing a turn at centre half and a short one at that. Toure’s got class, is mobile, reads the game well and has good positional sense but er, how many times did Arsenal lose last season? Isn’t that the measure of a defence and its defenders? Gooners might love the African emperor but no-one else seems to.
Winner: Rio
Centre Half
Again, the writer has chosen to be objective and recognises that Vidic is the type of centre half that every team needs. We at AU like Gallas but if you say the partnership with Toure doesn’t work, who are we to argue.
Winner: Vidic
Left Back
Here’s the most beautiful of contests. Both Evra and Clichy are French. Both are fast. Both offer excellent attacking support but only one gets in the French national team. And he comes from Senegal. Your writer might not like Raymond Domenech but until the wordsmith has guided a team to the World Cup final, we’ll continue to trust Monsieur Domenech’s judgement, if ya don’t mind.
Winner: Evra
Left Midfield
The Arsenal writer is spot on about Giggs and Nani but then opts for Rosicky as the best option. As this position is still open to question at United, will cede the argument in Arsenal’s favour, even though the jury is still out on the Czech star who as the Gooner says is not even sure of a place in the Arsenal first team.
Winner: Rosicky
Centre Midfield
The writer is persuasive about the claims of Gilberto but clearly should be addressing the comments to one Arsene Wenger, who currently prefers the workhorse Flamini. With Carrick hardly setting the world alight and Hargreaves yet to get a run in the team, we’ll concede the midfield debate in favour of the Brazilian.
Winner: Gilberto
Centre midfield
Cesc or the Ginger genius? It’s close because the former is acclaimed as a copy of the latter. We can’t look past the Scholes master though because he can put medals and caps on the table.
Winner: Scholes
Right Midfield
C-Ron. No debate needed. As the writer said with breath-taking fairness: “I hate to say it but I would pay good money to go and watch Ronaldo play, the best right midfielder in the world.” Nice one.
Winner: Ronaldo
Forward
Rooney or Van Persie. Both are fabulous players but RVP has yet to have the impact of Wazza. He hasn’t scored the goals Wazza has scored and he doesn’t have the range that Wazza possesses.
The Arsenal writer trots out the old meejah favourite about Rooney’s failure to improve. “He is still a great talent but he has not developed as we all thought he would.”
This canard has to be nailed once and for all. Rooney displayed genius at 17 years of age. He was terrifying Europe when still a teenager. He’s just 21 now and is becoming a better player all the time under Sir Alex’s tutelage. On what basis has he declined? He scores fewer goals for England perhaps and he’s less prolific at European level? True enough but England shrivels even the brightest talents. I’m sorry to say that thus far, Rooney has not been helped by United’s European tactics either.
It’s easy to criticise Rooney but tell me, who is better in Europe in his position? RVP? Dont make me laugh. If both players were sold, one Rooney would buy you two Robins.
Winner: Rooney
Foward
Adebayor against Saha. Adebayor has it all to do but looks clever enough to get there in the end. Hard to pin down and surprising able for a such a big man, Adebayor is redefining the role of tall attacking lynchpin in a manner that defies Peter Crouch. Saha would be a marvellous player if he could stay fit. as he can’t, Adebayor shades it.
Winner: Adebayor.
So, to conclude, the combined team would feature three Gunners and eight United stars. Who could seriously argue otherwise.
Yours
ISpy

Beating the big teams? You lot home and away last season, Liverpool 3 times, twice at Anfield, Real Madrid- away!!
I’d don’t think any gooner would say last season or the one before were classic seasons for us, we’ve been building a new team like you guys did prior to winning the championship last year. Either way rating teams as you have comparing individuals is pointless and ultimately subjective anyway. You’ve got a great side a full respect, I just think some of us Gooners are excited about challenging for the title again having not done so for a couple of years
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 12:30 am)
did u write this article 10 years ago? how can you say scholes is better than fabregas? lol and u say arsenal fans are biased. wes brown? lol weel see how long its gonna take him to score another own goal. when u compare teams the wise thing to do is to compare the whole squad, oh but wait a second how can u compare after ure second side lost to coventry lol.last season is finshed now but what suprises me is that when rooney picks up an injury or ronaldo gets suspended every1 talks about how united are affected. so when arsenal had henry,v.persie,gallas,rosiscky all out for more than 3 months last season dont you think it affected. anyway it will be interesting to see what will happen this year but 1 thing is for sure, if ronaldo gets injured i dont even think you guys will make it in the top 4
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 12:38 am)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Looking for some traffic off Arsenal fans eh? I’ll bite.
To think Neville compares to almost any right back in the Premier League trashes our whole analysis. Sagna, Eboue and Hoyte are all better than this has been was even in his prime.
Keeper: Yes EVDS is better.
Right Back: See above and blush again at your miserable judgement.
Center Half: Rio gets it just for being a natural and for nothing else. Few defenders have been as consistent as Toure and the stats back that up.
Center Half: Gallas. No cop out on a technicality as u attempted up there. Gallas is clearly better.
Left Back: Domenech is God? Bollocks. Clichy is the best left back in the Premiership today and the stats prove it. Opta, Axim, United’s own stats all prove it. And by the way, you need to get your facts right before you write. Abidal is the first choice for France not Evra.
Right Wing: Ronaldo. The one United player who’d get into the Arsenal team with no contest.
Central Midfield Defending: Gilbert O’ Silva. World Cup winner. Captain of Brazil. Excellent player. Actually won stuff. Kills Carrick and Hargrieves. But on current form Flamini would bench either of your two.
Central Midfield: 20 year old Cesc on current form beats Scholes. Sorry but that’s self evident.
Left Midfield: Rosicky. Giggs is gone; a shadow. At his prime Rosicky couldn’t hold a candle to him but today….Nani? Don’t make me laugh.
Striker 1: RVP vs Rooney. Go check the stats. RVP has a better goalscoring record if you factor in number of games played. And then you thro in how much the player would be sold! Darren Bent is better than Thierry Henry then by that logic.
Striker 2. Adebayor.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 12:41 am)
I read the original article a week ago and as an Arsenal fan I was bewildered that the writer only picked 2 (think it was) Arsenal players and 9 Man U players.
If I was to be objective I´d choose VDS in goal (although Lehmann has been the better goalkeeper the last couple of seasons) but what I´ve seen of Fabianski he will be a great keeper in a season or two.
RB has to go to Sagna who has really impressed for Arsenal while Neville is getting on a bit and is struggling with injuries.
The CB positions I´d have to go with Rio and Vidic who look rock solid atm.
Between Clichy and Evra it´s a close call and I can´t really decide which of the two I´d prefer, but I believe Clichy is going to eclipse Evra long-term.
DM I´d choose Hargreaves this season because Gilberto isn´t first choice atm for Arsenal. I believe Owen will be a good player for Man U and alongside him I´d choose Fabregas, who is improving every season and is now one of the best creative CM in Europe.
I´d pick Ronaldo as RW, with the creative Rosicky on the left.
I agree that a combination of Rooney and Adebayor would probably work very well. However, RVP is difficult to leave out as he can score at any moment, but because he has´t been able to play an entire season without injuries, Rooney is more proven at the top level.
Conclusion: With the money Man U have spent on players they do have more stars, but I believe Arsenal play better as a team and are more fluent. We were the better team head to head last season, but the young players at Arsenal had to realize that they needed the same focus against all sides and not just the top 4 and I believe they have understood that now.
Ít will be an interesting title race and it´s very difficult to predict which team will win it, but the teams are more evenly matched than these two slightly biased articles would have you believe.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 12:43 am)
Another thing: Last World Cup. Arsenal had the highest number of players playing for different teams. Higher than any other team in Europe.
I also overlook your thinking 9+3= 11
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 12:44 am)
I believe I’ll have to argue seriously otherwise. I will try to keep it brief, but let’s see how it goes:
Goalkeeper - Van der Sar
Neither team has a Cech standard keeper. Van der sar wins for his consistency and absence of teutonic mannerisms.
Right Back - Bacary Sagna
We’ll keep G Nev out of this, who would otherwise be first choice (assuming the long term injuries haven’t seriously imparied his ability). Wes Brown has many attributes, notably recovery pace - some tremendous last ditch tackles really stand out. Unfortunately for Wes he makes a lot of these due to his poor positional sense (a polar opposite to G Nev’s). Bac Sagna was in the French League PFA team of the year at left back. Before you explain to me how this is a sh1t league, it’s still by fellow pros and he’s been absolutely key to Arsenal only conceding two goals all season so far.
CBs - Vidic and Rio
Strong shout for Toure over Rio as some of his indisciplined traits / loss of concentration have re-emerged in the past 12 months. Can’t be arsed to argue and what’s the point in splitting up such a nice couple?
LB - Gael Clichy
Both Clichy and Evra have similar traits, though Clichy is faster and younger. And quite frankly better. He’s been superb and has performed as good as, if not better than, A Cole. I’ve got no respect for Domenech whatsoever. Let’s look at recent selections: he’s already played Diaby three times for France (which I don’t think he was ready for having only returned from injury and not having ANY starts for Arsenal for the prior 12 months) and he played (now Arsenal’s) Diarra at RB for the last 4 qualifiers, even though he’s obviously inferior to Sagna in that position.
RM - C.Ronaldo
No debate.
CM - Gilberto
Personally I’d have Flamini there on current form but I’ll just take Gilberto since he’s been offered thanks.
CM - Cesc
Best player in the Prem at the moment. Arsenal’s player of the season has added goals to his game and is just simply world class. And only 20. Scholes has more medals? That’s great but he’s well passed his peak - last season was essentially his swansong and we both know it so let’s stop living off passed glories. If past medals matter that much, I’ll take Maradona and Pele up front thanks.
LM - Rosicky / Hleb
Don’t mind which one - Rosicky adds more energy, Hleb’s a box of tricks. Both are better than Giggs these days. There’s a reason we create a shed-load of chances in matches while United struggle these days. It’s called having a better midfield, and THAT is something I would find difficult for anyone to argue with.
CF - Adebayor
Combination of strength and pace, finishing has improved lately. A poor man’s Drogba, but better than Saha certainly. And he’s actually fit for more than 30% of matches.
CF - Rooney
Bit thick, granny fetish but quality player.
So that’s 5 Man Utd and 6 Arsenal, which I think is a fair balance.
Obviously your article was written as a release of the frustration and anger at the fact that your team is on the wane while and you’ll have no more money to spend for the next few years while those nice Glazer chaps dish out c.£100m on interest payments for the foreseeable futuer. Our average age is 23 (based on Almunia in goal). Won’t bother getting into the Arsenal financials but I’m sure you’ve heard.
Great result against Coventry btw.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 12:55 am)
BTW - I decided not to go watch our youngsters beat Newcastle last week. Didn’t cost me a thing - a few years back Wenger specifically requested (and the Arsenal board agreed) that season tickets no longer include carling cup matches as he’d only be playing youngsters and didn’t want to force a youth team on season ticket holders. Nice that, isn’t it?
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 1:04 am)
OMG i cant believe the denial on this forum, you arent even pride of manchester as far as this season is going! you are an embarassment!
neville better than eboue/sagna haha! your a funny guy, same with the scholes/fabregas, kolo/rio, comparison.
why dont you just wait until we meet this season? Or are you still sour over the fact we beat you twice last season?
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 1:07 am)
coming to think of it you merchandise utd fans must be really gutted that arsenal put a stop to your glory years, glory glory man utd and all that shite, funny how you dont get so many fans nowdays isnt it
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 1:19 am)
No 3. You just got merc’d by Ole Gunner, I suggest you remove this article as we are just gonna clown your ass, you are embarassing all Man Utd fans, Ole’s assessment is far more accurate, do not attempt to pull the wool over ppl eyes when the fact are there for everyone to see, all it does is unearth a liar or a fool, in this case you.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 1:58 am)
Uh Oh!
Nothing worse than gooners out of the woodwork!
You lot suddenly got a mouth on ya?!?
Face it! We’ll never agree!!
We both see our teams with bias eyes and the shared hatred is too immense so why don’t you all go argue in a circle looking outwards because I get the feeling you’re good at that!
Gooners with memberships on Absolutely United?!?!? that’s proper argumentitive gooners 4 ya! & that’s y we Absolutely Hate You!
Done!
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 3:34 am)
Based on team performances this season so far:
GK EVDS definitely
RB Sagna is way better than Brown - what dream world do you live in?
LB Clichy
Evra better than Clichy because Domenech says so? Abidal is the left back for France you mong!
By the way; Clichy has just been called up to the France squad and Evra has been dropped. What do you have to say about that? hahaha
CD Rio.
CD Toure; best central defender according to all the stats
LM Rosicky by far
DM Flamini - what have Carrick or Hargreaves done this season?
CM Fabregas - 6 goals and 8 assists speaks for itself
RM Ronaldo - can’t argue with that except I’d love to see him perform against proper teams. Did he play both games against Arsenal last season? Didn’t see him much apart from that dive he did.
CF RVP - can’t score the range of goals that Rooney can score… are you mad? RVP has way more skill than Rooney.
CF Adebayor - easily better than Saha at the moment.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 4:43 am)
I used to love this site but post like this are disappointing.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 5:42 am)
You wrote: Arsenal fans carry on as though it was their team that won the league last season. Points mean prizes and what were yours last season? Oh, that’s right, out of Europe early! Out of the FA Cup before it got interesting! Nowhere in the league and second in the League cup!
He..he…he, Its our mentality that make you feel jealousy.
FACT No. 1, We are not the champion last season, but we starting playing in our new stadium.
FACT No.2, Amazingly, we have mentality of a champions in our boys (yes I repeat boys, not old crack like Scholes and Giggs or Neville).
Just one question, how come MU as the EPL champion last season and with 30 million pound man in Carlos Tevez play like a loser this season ?
And excuse me for asking, how dare you copy our style of “BORING ARSENAL” with the 1-0 win everywhere you play from EPL in England to CL in Europe, he…he…he…he…
And excuse me again for asking, how come all MU fans feel like their club is the biggest one in England ? No way man, in term of championship in England or Europe, than the biggest club in England must be LIVERPOOL, indeed.
In term of profit making club, then it must be ARSENAL.
How about MU ?, in your dream maybe MU its the best or the biggest and the richer, but please wake up and see the real world.
FOOTBALL IS A BEATIFUL GAME, JUST LOOK AT THE BOYS AT ARSENAL.***
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 7:35 am)
Last post first: ‘Biggest’ English club in Europe? We my both not be happy with it, but that would be Liverpool! Maybe not that obvious because they are so far ahead of both of us that they are almost out of sight.
Haven’t read the original article, the conclusions drawn here are bewildering though:
GK: OK, there is no argument about van der Saar.
RB: It’s a weird sense of humor to pick Brown over Sagna and I guess nobody outside ManU has that pick.
CH:the pick would clearly have been Rio until recently. Not anymore. Toure is at least the same level now and is still getting better.
CH: I can go with Vidic, class player. Not saying he’s better than Gallas but he needs to play more to show his class. So far injuries prevented that.
LB: Same sense of humor you showed in your RB choice. Absolutely ridiculous - Clichy is too big for Evra.
LM: of course Rosicky, we agree on that.
CM: both Gilberto and Flamini are in the drivers seat. Flamini has improved immensly and Gilberto … well, no words needed.
CM: Fabregas is currently the best player in the league and one of the best CM’s in the world. Scholes was a hell of a player but his days are gone.
RM: there’s no point of arguing - Ronaldo.
FW: Rooney isn’t anywhere near van Persie’s level! VP is more versatile, has greater vision and is the smarter player.
FW: I am not particularly happy with Adebayor. His first touch often letting him down, his passing is average at best and for a player his size his headers are embarrassingly low class. I would pick Eduardo over both Adebayor and Saha. Ade had a good run recently but not enough yet to convince me. So: Eduardo it is.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 9:40 am)
What a riduculus topic. This is a team game. Arsene will pick players to fit his system, Sir Alex will pick players to fit his. I would not swap any Arsenal players for anything Man U has (even Winker & Wanker)
Arsenal have a system and even the Carling kids play the same making the squad full of depth. Players can slot in without playing out of position because 1st team, Carling team and youth team all play the same. How many of that team that lost to Coventry are near to Man U’s first team. After that result, not many I bet. A good team with a system will always beat a team of individuals. Keep your team Man U, I will take Arsenes system any day of the week.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 2:25 pm)
RedLion -
i thought this was meant to be an open letter to gooners, and this message came on the biggest arsenal forum online.
The sad truth is and yes it is so sad that you are jealous of our position and are attempting to re-assure yourselves that your better than us, even though you have absoloutley no evidence of it whilst we dont need to prove ourselves, we beat you twice last season and are now top of the premiership and on a 9 win streak!
boy it sure is good to be a gooner at the moment,
plus i have no regret in feeling like this, throughout the nineties we all had to deal with arrogant glory hunting scum 24/7 rubbing it in other fans faces. Dominating everything, you werent even a football team just a brand.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 2:34 pm)
lol did i notice someone said liverpool are the biggest side in europe? imo a whole new article needs to be written now
is this the same liverpool who lost to marseille at home the other day convincingly? at full strength
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 2:52 pm)
Open letter to Gooners eh? I see we’re not the only ones smokin crack. keep off the magic mushrooms until we beat on November 4th!
But this time can your boys try to stick to playing football, instead of prematch psycho jibes from Fungusface, temper tantrums from an overated scouser called Rooney, and the new twinkled toe diver Roonaldo conning the referee.
As for comparing teams, Scholes is the only player worthy of mention. Rio is cack, carrick and hargreaves are crocked, and Rooney is two puffs short of a half butt, and as for Evra, hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
I’d love it if we beat them, really love it… (in a keeganesque scouse accent) well, we will piss all over ya!
I’ll be back on November 5th to feed you lots and lots of humble pie!
C’mon you Gooners!!!!
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 3:02 pm)
we have done well v nobodies? what you mean man city who beat you 1 nil ha ha!!!!!. and mighty pompey who you scraped a point against who we smashed 3-1 with ten men. with regards to the team your midfield is average to say the least scholes like giggs is finished. carrick is a carbon copy of hargreaves box to box no creativity at all in either of them. rooney is a top player but stop the word world class. as he aint that. sagna is top top draw would walk in your back four along with kolo and gallas. ronaldo is your only world class player and he was the reason you won the league last year along with chelsea missing terry you would of won nothing what your going to win this year boys
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 4:05 pm)
This is the biggest load of tripe I have ever read. What idiot has wrote this? We all know for a start if football was based solely on the individuals who played in a team then Real Madrid’s galaticos would have won the Champions league god knows how many years running. Knowledgeable fans (this does not include you scum fans by the way) appreciate football is team game where the strengths of a team as a whole will determine the successes they have on the pitch. However even ignoring this fact and focusing solely on individual player vs individual player you’re assessment of each is devoid of all sense and reason.
Firstly EVS nobody will argue with, but if you think that Gary Neville is better than either Eboue or Sagna your are gravely mistaken. Left back there is nothing that I’ve seen that tells me Evra is a better player than Clichy. As for Domenech’s opinion it carries no weight at all. Personally I feel Clichy will have the bigger international future. Rio as good a player he is, is not to the standard you rate him. If you ask any Leeds fan (and I’m not one by the way) who consistently outperformed each other when Woodgate and Ferdinand played together and I could guarantee 95% would say Woodgate. Now I know we’re not comparing with Leeds(or ex) players although I just wonder how many man U fans would claim Woodgate to be better than Toure (I’d be interested to know any Man U supporters opinion on that). Vidic I could concede against Gallas, he does the business and is not so injury prone. Ronaldo of course no argument there but if you think Scholes is better than Fabregas you need to drag yourself into 2007. Don’t hinge opinions on past reputations!!! Carrick is a right waste of money and Hargreaves has not started doing it yet so whether you put Gilberto or Flamini against them at the minute it doesn’t matter, they still come out on top. Giggs is now past it but doing it in flashes and Nani has done nothing yet. I admit Rosicky has not set the world alight yet but if you’re looking for a winner from those three then there is only one for me and he hails from the Czech Republic. Adebayor is miles better than Saha and as for Rooney, I’m a massive fan I think he is class. If you wanna think over the long term he’ll cement a bigger impact over his career than RVP I think he might, but current form suggests RVP is the better player and something tells me he’ll have a great season this season. For that reason I’m putting those two as a draw. So I make it on individual basis 3 players United (EVS, Vidic, Ronaldo) 2 draws (Evre/Clichy, RVP/Rooney) and 6 to Arsenal (Sagna or Eboue, Toure, Fabregas, Flamini or Gilberto, Rosicky, Adebayor). Reading all your assessments it’s obvious you should stop living in the past and start paying attention to the football of the here and now!!!!!
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 4:37 pm)
hmmm shit article considering we beat you twice last season.
F*ck off back to essex you glory hunting mugs
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 5:39 pm)
On my personal opinion that article is in one way cool and in other offensive to both supporters of Utd and Arse but since I find lots of you who posted here as embarrassing to both of the clubs (eg “hmmm shit article considering we beat you twice last season.F*ck off back to essex you glory hunting mugs”-that’s suposed to be an argument or what?You see,you make an impression that all of the Arsenal fans feel that way so then they all seem stupid-not you only.And do you honestly think Liverpool players are worst than Marseille’s now?Btw based on what are they “the biggest”?) I’ll skip that.Anyway,I find it cool cause I love every single player of Manchester United (of course I would never plase Rosicky instead of Giggs) but Gooners don’t find it cool cause they don’t.I totally admire Adebayor,Sagna,Fabregas,Toure,Clishy and some of the others but it’s not my team and I’d never want to see them as a part of it-I wiew it like my best friend’s bf,he can be the greatest but I don’t want him after she had him…I believe you’ll all agree with me on that…So what’s the point?Arguing on the internet is like participating in special olympics,win it or lose-you’re still retarded.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 6:07 pm)
yeah man wayy cool!
what is the point arguing on the internet? i dont know why are you? i personally think its better than letting people get away with shit articles like this
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 6:07 pm)
Fella fair play to you, that’s a piece of work and some endeavour. Got to be honest though, I never got past the goalkeepers, a bit like yourselves against Reading and Citeh (soz, cheap shot). Bottom line though? Absolutely right the biggest tests lie ahead but we are playing some beautiful football which it’s a very joyous joy to watch..and it feels just great. You won the title fair and square last season, your the Champs and well done to you. Just wondering why are you bothering yourself (at such length!) about lil ole us!?? Diagnosis? “I zink he is some kind of voyeur - he likes to get a telescope and watch other people’s families!” Prescription? Forget the crack and take a chill pill, with maybes a couple of cheeky beers to wash it down. See you next month.
(On Oct 4th, 2007 at 10:05 pm)
Decent balanced view mate but I am a gooner and most people I speak to dont think that we will win the league this year so dont really know where your piece is coming from…we can argue from now until we die whether Brown or Eboue are better but whats the point, the fact is that you would take fabregas and we would take ronaldo/rooney….apart from that its much of a muchness and comes down to form/consistency.
