oh and can the best player ever play today,will the real thiery henry please stand up?

[Innovation]

You've got to be fucking kidding me!!

Edit:

YES!!!!!!! Lampard! What a ball from Torres to set up the move! GET IN!

[Innovation]

I'd kiss Lampard's balls!!!!

Lmfao.

Such a relief as those were very important points.

Ramires did well on the right. Even Torres had a solid game, he may not have scored but he was constantly involved. If it wasn't for his ball to Ashely we would not have won that game. Brilliant cross from Ashley though and an excellent finish from Super Frank!

Now AVB, go sign us a creative midfielder. Modric is a lost cause, Spurs rejected a £40m offer last summer. Plenty more fish in the sea!

Oh and get in Norwich!

I'd kiss Lampard's balls!!!!

Id do it too,i just love late football drama,and frank is a fucking god.

torres played really good,if he gets a run of games,i can see goals,nice little one-two's today,good passes,just that confidence of him not really hitting the ball early enough,he is(kinda was) a world class striker,balls in and around that 18 yard box should be buried half the time by him,he can(was able) to do that,he takes some unneccesary extra touches nowadays,hopefully he gets it back,i love him too,and i fucking hate wolves.

And LMAO how everyone ganged up on AVB after the first goal, hope he doesn't get sacked

They went to celebrate with him.

It's funny though as the initial story was deemed false. I don't think AVB asked them to celebrate with the him though, I think they did it just to show unity.

Our midfield is lacking that creative spark. As I've said constantly, Mata is our only true creative player. Meireles can be creative but we need a Modric. Imagine another player like Mata feeding the team. It would seriously help our lack of goalscoring.

Boswinga is awful at defending, Ivanovic's return can't come fast enough.

Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Cole

That looks much better tbh.

I'm looking forward to all the transfer window action! Are we still looking at Krasic? I don't see why we would want him for anything more than backup or rotation. Ramires played the role well and I don't see Krasic taking that position from Sturridge.

yo innovation, ur from england, so u probably would know this, my arsenal supporting friend thinks that this chant:

we love you arsenal, we do
we love you arsenal, we do
we love you arsenal, we do
come on arsenal we love you.....

is exclusive to Arsenal, I tell him no, I hear lots of clubs using it (ofc with the other clubs name instead of arsenal)....

who's right lol?

Yeah I think it's often just filled in with another club's name.



I know this isn't a chant, but nothing comes close to this.. you just get that feeling of pride when you listen to it!

stupid ref,that was not even a foul,its just 2 players using their body to affect eachother and get to the ball,zamora was not gonna get there and went down softly for his size and got the foul and the second yellow for doujoru and he got sent off.

[Innovation]

Wow, I can't believe Arsenal lost 2-1! What a result! When you went 1-0 up I thought there was no back for Fulham.

That couldn't have came at a better time. We're back in the top 4.

Lmao, such a good article. Torres was fantastic yesterday so hopefully 2012 will prove to be the year he regains his form.

In short, Torres was a menace today. This was surely his best match since joining nearly one year ago. He didn't score, and he didn't directly provide on the goals, but he did pretty consistently provide the ball before the killer ball. Why buy Luka Modric when you can use a striker, whom you already spent 10m more on, and who doesn't score anymore? To be honest, there's a cruel irony in the fact that the player whose performance would have done the most to awaken the dormant scoring powers of Fernando Torres is the man himself. Therefore, unless Fernando learns to be in two places at once, or Roman spends a fortune to clone him, the Torres problem will persist.

He should get a good run of games this month with Drogba away, and will hopefully continue the upward trend he's been on of late. As we all know, the force of NandoMagic means we can't put any faith in that. Therefore, we can assume it's equally likely, either in two weeks against Sunderland, or next week against Portsmouth, Fernando will somehow get himself sent off while turning his knees into something that resembles the end-product of a wood-chipper as he is to score. Folks, don't piss off any pagan gods. The result could be devastating.

Great result last night.

11 ahead of Chelsea, 12 ahead of Arsenal, 14 ahead of Liverpool.

Surely a 3 horse race. Spurs are right in it. I'm worried.

Come on the Geordies tonight !
