The missed penalties by Ronaldo(after all his start-stop nonsense) and Terry were sure good for a laugh.<BR/><BR/>The only gulf I see between Man Utd/Chelsea and Arsenal is consistency. Obviously on a given day we can beat either one (we did beat Chelsea in fact), we just don't grind out wins when we are at less than our best like they do.<BR/><BR/>But Cohen and the rest of the media have to think of something to say now that the season is done. The EPL and CL were very close races this season, but saying that doesn't make for much of a story. Instead they'll manufacture a vast gulf below the top 2 when in reality we're talking about 1 game, 1 injury here or there that decided it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486846785837213956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485828876714765854.post-7679318480298427012008-05-22T18:05:00.000-04:002008-05-22T18:05:00.000-04:00So I watched the Champions League final yesterday....So I watched the Champions League final yesterday...very dissappointed the stadium didn't blow up...that aside...I thought it was a pretty entertaining game...I thought extra time was pretty terrible...too much leg cramping, time wasting, and squabbling for my taste. But I listened to World Soccer Daily today and heard Steven Cohen say that he thought after watching that game that Arsenal and Liverpool must be terrified that there is some huge gap between those 2 teams and arsenal and liverpool. The man is nuts. After watching that game I felt the exact opposite. You give me a healthy Rosicky and you can have Flamini and I think we could have beaten either of those teams. We finished 2 points back of Chelsea and 4 behind ManU...and we always hear how the table doesn't lie...so where is this gulf then? More and more I believe we are another winger (ahem that's your cue Mr. Nasri to sign the damn contract), and a better center back away from being the best team in England. Can't wait for next year! Bring it ON!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485828876714765854.post-13703508610539278192008-05-20T21:48:00.000-04:002008-05-20T21:48:00.000-04:00Really enjoyable season review videohttp://youtube...Really enjoyable season review video<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qrly8e9vjM0Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486846785837213956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485828876714765854.post-89146070003244338252008-05-20T11:27:00.000-04:002008-05-20T11:27:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear you're under the weather...but are y...Sorry to hear you're under the weather...but are you sure it's not just footie withdrawl? Or maybe the thought of watching 2 teams full of massive cunts competing for the Champions League...um...championship.<BR/><BR/>Kolo mad at Gallas? I could buy that...but not mad at Arsene. Few quick points...not a fan of Gallas being made captain...said that many times already...but...Gilberto was reporting late due to international duty with Brazil...and Kolo was spending a month away from the club in the middle of the season due to the African Cup of Nations. So, given that the squad was/is so young...maybe Arsene thought he needed a captain who would be present throughout the whole season...and figured it would stop Gallas from whining about Henry leaving. I couldn't blame Kolo for feeling slighted...but I think that logic makes sense. I can't imagine Kolo going anywhere...and if he is pissed...maybe it will lead Arsene to bring in Yaya to make him happy. <BR/><BR/>Veloso rated at 24 million pounds? Jeez...never seen him play but that seems ridiculous...you could get Barry for a little more then half that. And if you were going to spend that kind of crazy money...wouldn't it have made more sense to just spend it on Flamini? Crazy crazy season. <BR/><BR/>I haven't followed football long enough to know this...but is it possible that Arsenal has signed some players and agreed to transfer fees, but that they are waiting to announce it at a later time? Like after the CL Final. Just curious. Feel better Arsenole!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
