Arsenal vs Manchester United

what happened to gallas?

Injured til the end of the season. Along with a few others at the moment. Arsenal have been fucked with injuries this season. Having people like Silvestre as back up is no good for a team wanting to win the league though.

I'd probably agree that something needs to be done about the teams diet. We look so small and feather-light next to every other team. Sure, it can work to our advantage sometimes if we get into our nippy stride, but it's absolutely useless on set-pieces, as has been our major downfall this season.

I think it was Mourinho who first placed so much importance on set-piece training in the Premiership. Chelsea never played attractively when they were winning everything, but they were always devastating on corners and free-kicks. Often it's that one goal from a set-piece that can turn a draw against tough opposition into a win.

But how else are they supposed to squeeze into those trendy little trousers?

Also, Nasri was rated as one of the worst players on the pitch (4/10) in today's Sun. I don't know what game they were watching because to me he seemed like the only Arsenal player who even wanted to be there.

Let Adebayour go. He clearly doesn't want to be there, and you lot don't use him properly anyways.

Your whole midfield needs some lessons in picking up their testicles, they were fucking useless in both legs of that semi-final.

Also I think the Barca-Chelsea match today will be an exciting one, hope that Barca pulls it out, although Chelsea have been playing some pretty decent football lately.

well apparently he thinks Arsenal don't have much chance of winning trophies next season, but also doesn't want to leave until they do because "Arsenal put me where I am today. They made me one of the biggest strikers in the world. I have to pay them back."

Wouldn't care if the guy wanted to stay, for the majority of the season he's been third rate. He can be clinical when he wants to be but he doesn't contribute much on a game to game basis, I fail to see how he could ever be picked above Van Persie who I really rate as a player.

You sorely missed Arshavin in the champions league, he's been brilliant in adjusting and contributing to the team in such a short space of time to the Premier League. I agree with Gary about Nasri too, he wasn't too bad. The Midfield is just missing that lynchpin.

On the other hand, Man Utd have finally picked up the pace since the first half of the Tottenham game after pretty much a month of close wins and bad performances. I don't think theres any stopping us now if we keep this momentum. I was apathetic a few months ago but I'm now really hoping Ronaldo stops for at least another year. Ribery can't fill his shoes, and Benzema can't fill Tevez's either

Yeah say waht you will about Ronaldo being a whiny faggot, that free kick was outstanding.

There was no way he was gonna live up to last season, that was a superlative outing. He's done very well this season and it would really be a fucking shame to see him go cause if the team stays pretty much the same, then they have a great shot at doing something special again next season.

Arsenal needs to stop their current trend of developing players and then selling them off. Buy another solid experienced midfielder and defender and they will be tough next year...

Great freekick - unbelievably bad by Almunia though. If you just ignore the ball and watch Almunia, it gets worse every time you watch it.

nice goal

i think Malouda just hurt his head by landing on that hair spike thing he's got

quite a good game so far. The ref is a dreamboat.

who is everyone wanting to win tonight? I'm neutral.

lol @ drogba

Unbelievable end to the game. I thought Chelsea had that one in the bag then. Should be an epic final.

rather have watched this game than see finland mess up again in the first playoff game of the hockey WCs. sounds like it was an epic game.

It was an epic finish. Chelsea got robbed, but serves them right the amount the fuckers dive usually. Drogba's worse than Ronaldo!

Seen some gifs. Looks fucking amazing. Need to find some highlights.
