And how many trophies has that run given you? You seem to neglect to include any games outside of the Premiership in your statement - how else would you explain not winning the Charity Shield, Worthington Cup, FA Cup and Champions League? I seem to remember Arsenal managing to lose some games in those competitions ok.
You may have a point there Prawn, however, League records a fair game to crow about. I know I would. :D

Too true - hats off to Arsenal in the League this season, I can't see anyone repeating that feat for many, many years.
Some of the gooners do seem to have forgotten about those games they did lose this season - it's nice to burst the bubble every now and again to keep them grounded ;)

Apart from the CL game we fielded a weakened side for the other cup competitions.

we started off wit bergkamp and aliadiere upfront but replced em wit reyes and henry 60 mins in, remember? that sh!t-head ginger ccunt scholes and his disgraceful tackle?
in the carling cup we did, but we fielded a weakend side throughout yhay whole competetion and still be all the first teams we played except boro!

blah blah blah!
if giggs is better then pires go and talk to pele!
next your gunna say postiga is better than viera!
So you believe that Pele's list is perfect then? The list in which Diouf rates above Van Basten, Charles, Finney, Gerson?
That really is a superb argument.

Just do what Scolari said after he won the World Cup with Brazil.
"Take footballing advice from Pele, and then do the complete opposite"

yes i am an arsenal fan but i'm going to be honest here... (btw, keep in mind that pires is my absolutely fave player) :D
giggs is excellent. and back in 99 with the treble, MU were fantastic as well. so he played great and he's still a good player. but we're comparing giggs in 99 to pires in 04, right? so then you must admit that pires does more for the entire TEAM than giggs... the awesome thing about arsenal is that they play as a team so well... they share the ball. but MU at that time were actually pretty much the same...
so in conclusion, they were both excellent and they're both kick @$$ players but pires still has the same team to play with while becks is at Real now... and it's just not the same MU since the idiot RvN arrived...
thats my 2 cents. gtg to class now...

Yes. Giggs is awful. We should sell him to Exeter. If they'll take him.
