You have a point, BUT you seem to be glossing over his injury history. Touch wood, but this is the first year in a long, long time that he's played most of the season, most of the games. He's really matured nicely both in skills and temperament (remember the nasty petulant RVP after he came to us?) and he has my full respect now (which he didn't used to back then) So I'm really hoping he'll stay, but I'd be pretty damn surprised if he was as healthy, available and vital in the last part of his career, as Giggs has been. PLEASE prove me wrong Robin!
At some point last year, some on this board were clamoring to have these two clowns at Arsenal. Glad Arsene knew better.
Captain Vantastic does it again. Even though we've had a rough season, great away victories at Chelsea and Liverpool, destroying Tottenham last weekend, and still being in 4th place, it'll be enough for me. Go on you gooners!
Forgot to give a shout to Bacary Sagna. I have ripped his offensive contributions in the past, but he put one in the net last game and his cross today was pinpoint accurate. He also saved a potential goal by dispossessing one of the Pool players in the box. Pretty good showing from #3 today.
We got too many calls? Ive got a bridge to sell you my friend. Saurez's overbite made him fall over..that was no penalty. He should go back to what he's best at..racially abusing players.
Maybe your players should have called us all negros. That's something Liverpool excels at. Why play the game when you use racial remarks and give the finger to fans..such a proud club.
Suarez seemed to disappear after TV5 took a piece of him from behind. Can Suarez be intimidated by physical play? Because if so, it should have happened a lot earlier in the game. Arsenal won a game today when they didn't play well. Teams are always going to have off days and great teams are able to grind out wins even when their form is poor. Its something Arsenal haven't done a lot of in the last seven years.
I think the entire EPL is seeing what kind of player and person Suarez is..good luck to Liverpool trying to sell that piece of garbage.
Nah, if spuds weren't ahead of us in the table I would be rooting for what I normally root for when those two clubs play -- a meteor to hit the stadium.
i thought it was crazy how no liverpool players were booked for dissent, given how demonstrative they were. i'm a big fan of kuyt but he really should have been booked when he went nuts on the play that he chested the ball to kelly. this might be due to my personal bias (i despise suarez and hate the motion of calling for a card) but when he flopped over and called for a card against koscielny, i thought he should have been carded.
I feel embarrassed for Suarez but it's not enough. Fans should never forget all he's done. He's a rotten piece of shit excuse for a human being and should be shamed every minute he's on the pitch.
I agree with the sentiment with regards to Suarez, and I do think it was a dive. However, when ESPN did the slo-mo blowup, it was clear that the (decidedly minimal) contact was shin-to-shin.
The .gif seems to say that he shouldn't be holding his shin. Arseblogger made reference to this habit of his, as well (holding his shins when he goes down regardless of where contact, if any, is made). I was just pointing out that there was contact and it was with his shin, so while he's still a diving horse toothed racist cheater, the fact that he holds his shin in this instance is nothing special to mock. There's plenty of real things to make fun of with regards to Suarez.
Yikes. Maybe I need to hold off on posting until I get this brief turned in. Brief-itis turns me into a raging jackass.
The sick thing is that EVERY player making moves in Penalty area is PRAYING for contact, makes me sick almost every PK awarded.
