Posted December 16, 2005 Wow, Chelski Barca must be destiny. They got drawn in the rehersal for the draw, Arsenal got Benfic in the rehersal. I don't think we can compete with Real. We had an lucky/easy run in Europe so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Brilliant draw, couldn't have hoped for anything better! Arsenal and Chelski go out, we beat the team that knocked United out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 i know it is the perfect draw i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 I've always wanted Real Madrid, as I've always believed we're A LOT better than them, and want it to be proved, so i'm glad we got them. Come on Barca! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsenal better a LOT better than Real Madrid? Are you insane? Real Madrid havent been at their best over the past 2 years or so, but they could still whip arsenal. The only thing Arsenal have against any other team is Henry, without him you are nothing more than an average team. I can see Liverpool doing it again, the draw seems to be set up nicely for them and they are playing the best football in the premiership at the moment.

Posted December 16, 2005 Chelsea - Barca is gonna be awesome, love the way you lot are writing off Chelsea straight away (like people did last season) don't forget we beat them last season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I laugh at that statement. Really. Just take a look at the Arsenal squad - Weak, falls apart without Henry and none of the players can take a tackle without crying. Then poor Wenger complains when they lose Arsenal will get troused, Chelski will be dumped out again and Liverpool will probably make it through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Are you insane? Real Madrid havent been at their best over the past 2 years or so, but they could still whip arsenal. The only thing Arsenal have against any other team is Henry, without him you are nothing more than an average team. Have you seen Real Madrid play recently with a back 4 of Salgado, Sergio Ramos, Helgura (who was a central midfielder before joining madrid and it shows) and Roberto Carlos. Henry and even Van Persie will run rings round them. Well actualy its more of a back 2 as Salgado and Carlos spend more time in the oponents half. The back 2 conisiting of Ramos who is a right back and Helgura who is a Midfielder. Its no wonder Madrid have been playing shit for the past 2-3 season really. And although there starting midifeld is good Guti aside everybody they have in back up is utter bilge. Up front however there still good although with Raul out for most of the season and with Baptiste and Robinho very unproven a lot of strain is going to be put on Ronaldo. But then again Arsenal have there own problems but they are far from an 'average' team. Living with 3 Arsenal fans I end up watching them a fair bit and they still have far more quality then people assume. I could see them winning it this year if everybody keeps underestimating them as they are at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Arsenal just need strength and depth in squad and a big hustler of a player who's not afraid to go in with physicality, we lost that when Veiria went and if we'd got Baptista we'd been far better. Fabregas is top quality but he's just not that strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 You say Henry and Van Persie will run rings around the defence, but if Newcastle can do the same to Arsenal I'm sure Real will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Real Madrid are nothing this season, their performances are sub par just like us. So it will be interesting, personally I know Arsenal can beat them, but whether or not Arsenal turn up is a different matter. That shower of shit that lost to Newcastle is not the Arsenal I know, and if we can get a good result at the weekend, I reckon our season will imrpove.

One thing that may be in your favour is that Madrid arent a very physical team, as we all know Arsenal hate getting roughed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2005 yea we do get getting roughed up legally but not how Shearer did. A decent Ref will be needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think, as a defender, Carlos is quite poor. Personally, i think it's going to be a game where the Arsenal Strikers need to be at the top of their game. If they are, i think they've got a good shot at this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2005 Not a chance, Rangers are playing terrible at the moment. Villereal are a good team too, they beat Celtic 2 years ago! Not a chance will Rangers beat Villarreal, 4th in La Liga against 4th in the SPL, i know who my money would be on. Villarreal also has a Celtic supporters club and the chairman said before the draw that he wanted rangers so they could beat them for Celtic, or words to that effect. Mon the Yellow Submari!
