The Arsenal FC thread

Arsenal top of the table with a 2 point cushion. Nice to see, even if temporary. And I don't think they are playing all that spectacular. Premiere League seems to be experiencing a bit of a down year--as evidenced by ManU and Chelsea being awful.

Not sure it's a down year, just less dominant teams.

It's great to see 4 or 5 teams in with a sniff.

When you let Newcastle boss you for most of the game, no, you aren't playing spectacular lol

What a 3-3 epic at Anfield. Liverpool is absolutely dreadful at corners. They would be in the top 4 right now if it weren't for their set piece defense.

In one of the most improbable upsets in sports history, Leicester City wins the Premiere League! They were 5000-to-1 at the beginning of the year. Pretty awesome.

Although a part of me hoped that Spurs would win the game to put more pressure on Arsenal to improve.

Those were ridiculous odds. The Cleveland Browns are 200-1 to win the SB right now.

Thank you, Arsenal, for beating Norwich at the weekend. But what was up with that 0-0 draw with Sunderland?

It is awesome. So refreshing not to see one of the big 4-5 teams winning the title this year.

Kaiserslautern won the Bundesliga in 1998 in the same season they were promoted.

A great reason why Arsenal needs improvement.

For the love of God, Wenger, sign a big striker!!

How the hell is arsenal in the FA final. I hope they beat Chelsea. Does wenger still get axed if they somehow lift the trophy?

That's the bundesliga though

Holy crap, really? I was stationed not far from K-town in 1998. They probably won it just before or just after I got deployed to Bosnia the 2nd time. Then again, I was only following international soccer at this point, and a wee bit of the Premier League, so I'm not surprised I missed it.

That would be unthinkable now for K-town to win the league. I was not aware of that either. Hard for me to put that in perspective now

Wenger won't get axed.

 

[Lorenzo]

Wenger won't get axed.

I don't think he should. There is a ton of negativity surrounding him now.

An interesting year will be culminated tonight with either Chelsea stamping their destiny or on the flip side arsenal somehow winning a trophy they don't truly deserve IMO. I dislike the current Chelsea team because of the way they posture themselves to play counter, but I have to give them credit for being professional every match. and they deserve this victory.

 

[Ronin]

looking good so far in the first half.
Arsenal 1
Chelsea 0

 

[Ronin]

Chelsea just scored 1-1.

 

[Ronin]

Arsenal strike back. 2-1 Arsenal.

 

[Lorenzo]

I stand corrected. Arsenal get the well deserved win. Should of been a few more goals by them. But what a finish!

 

[Chaplin]

I hope this win doesn't save Wenger's job.
