Is it just me or did Wenger look like absolute sh1t? Surely he'll be having a few sleepless nights wondering when the gooner faithful are going to turn on him...
On Nasri: I didn't hear many boo boys, maybe I wasn't listening hard enough. I did hear a lot of applause whenever he spread the ball, funny those gooners, ya think applause will keep the gold digger at the Emirates? Pshhh no chance

great result. we made it count when it mattered and showed we have some quality on the bench for a change.
really impressed by the back four especially jose enrique who looked really good in both defence and attack. i thought downing put in a good peformance too.
bit disapointed with charlie adam today, apart from trying to lob the keeper from the half way line on numerous ocassions, didn't really do much. he looked sluggish going into some tackles, played some poor deliveries from set plays and gave the ball away a few times. i really wanted his transfer to happen so i hope he can recapture some of his influential form from last season that made blackpool so entertaining. i'm sure he'll improve the more he plays.
we looked so much more dangerous when suarez came on. we started to play some fluid one touch football and really took the game to them when he and raul were introduced.
no disrespect to carroll cos i thought he worked hard and if suarez was along side him we could have edged in front much sooner. vermalen played really well for the gunners and the young lad frimpong looked good apart from his horror tackle on lucas.
hard times for arsenal. feel sorry for them in a way but they should have seen this coming and got their cheque book out much earlier. +1 to that. he seems to always be facing his own goal so he is never ready to get the ball and start moving us forward quickly from deep which imo is his job. tackling was disappointing in general there was next to no slide tackles no 50/50's and i love a good 50/50 but both sets of players were ducking challenges left, right and centre. frimpong didn't look good, he looks like a dirty horrible little b@st@rd, all of his fouls of which there were many were cynical little trips and body checks and his tackle on lucas was terrible. don't like him at all. i meant from an arsenal point of view. i think its the kind of player they will need. someone a bit more physical and less flashy then alex song. only a youngster though i think he could become a good player in the next few years judging by todays performance. they deffo need a solid DM though along with a CB, LB and an attacking mid or a winger once nasri leaves but yeah his fouling was annoying. he fouled agger several times. p!ssed me off too. thought he challenge on lucas was a straight red not a second yellow

I really don't care about what arsenal or whatever other team feels. You guys feels sad for them and their fans are feeling the pain, just remember we were in that same predicement one year ago heading into administration. They are one of our rivals and no liverpool fan should worry or care about them. Every club goes through this bad time, its their turn, Enjoy the ride gooners.

bit extreme.
considering we have been through a similar rut, i think there's a certain amount of empathy to be had. Arsenal have always tried to play ball over the years and i respect them for that, and i dont like to see any good footballing club with a good footbll ethic go down the swanny while other cash laden mercenary teams move up the ladder.
im not heading down to buy an arsenal jersey, but i do feel their pain a bit.

I understand your feeling as we fans can relate to them and their problems but from my point of view there is no need to be sympathetic. My brother is an arsenal fan and I told him to his face that I really hope u go further into trouble by getting knocked out of champs league and losing more players because we need the top teams above us to struggle to make it easier for us. Just remember that if they have a horrible season, we are the most likely candidate to replace them among the top 4. Am sure every liverpool fan would like that.

obviously we don't want them to finish above us goes without saying.
but you have to admire arsenal. they always do good business, have a huge new stadium, develop some fantastic youngsters and have played the best football in the league for years. unlike the man city's and chelsea's of today who relentlessley throw money at the club to buy their way to success.
at the end of the day they only have themeselves to blame. too reliant on youngsters at times, no experience or back bone in the side and a pretty awful back 4 bar vermalen and nobody disciplined enough to play DM.
but i would much rather see a club like chelsea suffer than arsenal.

I agree wan3d. They are a lovable side sort of speaks. Can't say the same about Chelsea or City though as they spend their way, I hate wenger tho, he is a great manager but I just hate him because its th same old crap I hear from him all the time, Too reliantt on youngsters and when he gets a superstar, they turn on him for more money or a bigger club.

This probably wont go down well but I actually feel more sorry for Everton. I heard they were going to sell Beckford the other day to find funds. Considering thats about 2 mil I think they have it worse.
