Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd How dare you talk to my lover like that. I'll get you. You bastard!!!!!!
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Im surprised that no one has brought up the issue of the "rigged" draw...the fact that someone posted this at 10:28am on Friday the 14th...90 MINUTES BEFORE THE DRAW!!!...is f***ed. This was also posted on the forum
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Gerrard is suspended for the first leg against Arsenal, is he not? If so, who would play in his position? Alonso??? Benayoun???
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd No he's not. I don't think he's even got a yellow.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd I know rafa loves to mix up the lineup, is that a huge understatement. I am wondering if he will rest Torres , Stevie G , Carragher , etc. during premiereship matches against Everton and Man U and I think we have Ars 3 times in a row so maybe we rest in the middle ?
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Here is to a good entertaining tie over both legs. I can't beleive some of you are already whining about Chelsea in the semi's. Talk about counting you chickens...
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Believe me, nobody's taking anything for granted. It's more just complaining that, once again, it's setting up that way, while the Mancs miss all the other English sides. Should be a very tough tie. You guys are very formidable anywhere, but especially at the Emirates.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Agreed. I didn't want 'Pool in the CL for the same reason. Although I think Chelsea got a very tough draw with Fener.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Perhaps the most important CL match of the year is the league game against Everton. We allow them 3 points at Anfield and it might be UEFA Cup for us in 2008-09. No way Torres, Gerrard, Carra, etc. are watching the derby from a seat. No. Way.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd What a thread to put this in. There is a Liverpool-Reading match thread here or are you hiding something?
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd I am also pondering that too. Why haven't any official members of clubs made any statements? Why hasn't there been any hint at possible investigations? It seems like UEFA came out and made a statement regarding the chap on Echo.co.uk being a lucky guesser and everyone believed it. Simply based on odds, I'd say something's fishy about this.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd LOL! Wow, I read that and was like Gandalf, very well done. And then I looked below and was like, oh 26 edited it. I should have known. Well back to my Guinness, I am two away from finishing my twelve pack, but I am so full.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Wenger: We Must Stop Torres Really? That might be a good idea Arsene.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd You do know he is a genius -- he will tell you that himself
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd Sounds like the old Monty Python Routine "Nobody expects the Spanish Rafalution" "Our chief goal is our abilty to stop Torres...no wait. Our Two chief goals are our ability to stop Torres, our ability to stop Gerrard and overcome Masherano..no no Wait Our Three..let me start again Our Three chief goals are our abilty to stop Torres Gerrard Masherano and get past Carrager to try and score on Riena Our Four no Five our Five chief Goals...Amongst our main Goals are...." And a fanatical devotion to the french!!
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd I think the fact that we play them 3 times in a row will be advantage Liverpool. The league match isn't going to mean all that much to us, and it will still be Arsenal's top priority. Rafa will be 100% focused on beating them over 2 legs, and he won't want to give much away in the league match in between. I could imagine Arsenal kicking the shit out of us in the league match, yet we will be the team through to the semi-final.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd I can imagine Everton's loss today will only make the league game more expendable to you guys now, no? Anyway let's hope its more entertaining than those ties w/Chelsea you guys get every year.
Re: Arsenal v. Liverpool [CL Quarters] First Leg - April 2nd You hope personally I think your arse muscles have packed in and its chelsea who will stop the cnuts
