spirited away

@Fierce_LiNk: How confident are you at beating us on Sunday? I'm still under the impression that whatever team we field against United, we are destined to lose. It'd be interesting to hear from a United fan.

Loving this.

It's only for tonight yer. I really hope we start playing a more interesting brand of football now that Capello has left. I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed watching an England game!

I'm pleasantly surprised that Parker has been made the England captain; he'll do a good job. When was the last time we didn't have a detestable captain?! Makes a change.

Banter used to mean something until wannabe 'lads' adopted it to mean 'being a bellend'.

Please tell me you're not being serious. DazzyBee was clearly taking the piss about the 10 men. Sandro is more than capable of protecting the back 4. It just shows how times are changing that Arsenal are buzzing off pretty much ending our title challenge. Such a knee-jerk it's hilarious. We're still 7 points clear, we still have the better team, we're still in the Fa Cup. You've won half the battle (NLD) but we'll have the last laugh at the end of the season. These games happens, it doesn't mean the rest of the season fades into irrelevance.

I'm surprised you got back so early from the open top bus tour after the game. Mind the gap goons .

Did anyone hear the commentator say "some might argue that Arsenal's stadium counts as a trophy". Haha, fuck off. We'll still finish above the woolwich mob, don't you worry.

We could have won today and crushed any sense of belief. Such a wasted opportunity.

WOW. What a terrible performance. Probably the worst defeat I've ever watched (there have been a few). We'll bounce back against United; we're definitely made of sterner stuff nowadays. At the end of the day, regardless of the score, a defeat at the Emirates is not a terrible result. We're still 7 points clear. Onwards and upwards.

Went to bed at 5 and woke up at 7.30. Must be a derby day. Come on you Spurs!

Quite refreshing to hear some honest remarks from the gooner camp (not that we're miles ahead per-say).

I wouldn't write off Sunderland.

I really can't seem them playing as shit as they did in the last two games, which is a shame. We just need to triple up on Van Persie and we should be OK. :P Well if we play that bad again, we'll get fucked. Absolutely god awful.

Haha. Top-class defending.

"We have a biter, now to reel him in".

The variation in attack from Milan is a joy to watch. Ibrahim still has it. Arsenal have one tactic going forward at the moment: pass to Van Persie. That's a bit difficult when he's being surrounded by the Milan back-line.

Nah, not what I mean whatsoever. My point is that we're going to be basically overhauling our strike-force in the summer, so we're going to get linked to a ridiculous number of strikers, fact. Most of these players will never have expressed any interest in the club, and it will just be tabloid papers shovelling shit. It happens with all clubs. You're always going to get delusional fans (the gooners on this board for example - ) but I think the vast majority are Spurs fans are realistic about our position. I don't personally take any notice of people who say "calm down you're not all that great", especially not Chelsea fans. I mean, p-off, we're enjoying how our team is playing, crane your neck in (general point). On the contrary I think Spurs fans as a whole are generally quite pessimistic about our success, because we're not used to having such a good team, and being let-down so infrequently. 3rd is a long way off being wrapped up.

You're misinterpreting me there. What I mean by that is we'll most likely be looking at bringing in 2 or maybe 3 strikers in the summer. So these bullshit people who claim to be ITK and the media will be linking us with every flipping striker under the sun, you just know it. Just take a look at the summer window, on the last day of the window we were linked with half of the strikers in La Liga (not literally). What did you think I meant by that? Oh and I hope Chelsea crumble due the fact that everything about the club makes me gag. Also, has anyone heard of this Uvini bloke we've signed on loan?

Anyone else excited for the tour location reveal tomorrow? No? Ok. Well I am. My Dad is willing to pay into the hundreds to get us to one of the dates. Fingers crossed.

I think were are going to be linked with every striker in the world three times over in the summer. We'll try and get Ade on a permanent deal for sure, but his wages will probably prove the stumbling block. It all boils down to whether he's willing to cut them drastically (probably not). Saha is on a permanent deal.
