true but then we are relying on youngsters again.

Its the whole defence and midfield bar Fabregas & Nasri we need sorted out.

the rest are simply not good enough.

^^ Maybe Arsenal are just not good enough?

Ignore them

Um. 004, Are you forgetting the holders of the Premier League title for 07/08?
The club who has won the Premiership a record ten times?
The club who is the most successful in the entire Premiership history?
The club who has not had a single loss in any bid for a major European title?
The club who are not only the current champions of Europe, but were also the very first English club to do so?

Glory, Glory Man United.
And Long Live Sir Alex Ferguson.

When Arsenal went thru the whole season unbeaten, they were still saying you guys were better etc.:1orglaugh

They are now saying Chelsea are the team to beat this season...dont say much for your lot then does it?

Im not gonna sit here and pay homage to man u or chelsea

 

[Synthmesc_Droog]

The facts speak for themselves.

I, and certainly Man. United do not need nor want your lip service.

It's barely a month into the new season and you're already speculating. Who is this they you speak of? They say alot yknow.

Chelsea are looking good, Scolari is doing and is bound to do more great things for them. Let's just hope for the sake of football that they don't fuck up like they always do.

Arsenal have always shown promise. Nasri, Fabregas and Van Persie are extremely talented players. I hope they don't run out of "steam" like they did last season. Oh, and I bet Silvestre will use his experience from his many years at Man. United to benefit the Arsenal defensive line. Silvestre is an exceptional central defender, but obviously United were happy to let him go to Arsenal. No biggie.

I don't like to get partisan about my football. But I will if I have to. Sure, Arsenal played well during their 07/08 season, but United came out of it all with the silverware. Deal with it homes.

Nor I.
However despite being pro-Wenger, I'm honest enough to (reluctantly) state we're not strong enough.

 

[tartanterrier]

I think it will a close encounter between Man U and Chelsea this season.

 

[StormRuller]

can't wait for Thursday to see the draw of UCL groups... I want to see Juventus vs Manchester United!!

 

[om3ga]

Decent result for Arsenal, although 4-0 only showed just how poor Twente was (bye, Macca - don't forget your brolly...)


But WTF is going on at Anfield????

Correction - it was the Late, late show at Anfield....

FT Arsenal 4-0 FC Twente (agg 6-0)
FT Liverpool 1-0 Standard Liege (agg: 1-0)

lucky lucky liverpool

 

[StormRuller]

What a shame on Liverpool.... only in extra-time they beat Standard Liege... can't wait to see the groups draw tomorrow!

 

[tartanterrier]

The draw should be something to see.I think Liverpool were lucky last
night and I felt really sorry for Liege as I felt they worked hard enough
for a penalty shoot out.The Liege gaffer should've taken Dante off when
he got booked

 

[jumbo_jim]

Liverpool fluked it. The better team went out, but in cup games the result is more important than the performance.

Also Gerrard is now out for a few weeks as he recovers from an operation.

 

[tartanterrier]

I think this factor will affect their form for the next few weeks.The
other big players should take advantage.

 

[jumbo_jim]

3 weeks of fixtures amd not a 100% record left.

Liverpool draw at Aston Villa but perhaps more costly is the loss of Torres to a hamstring injury.

Rangers destroy Celtic 4-2 away form home in Old firm derby.
Mendes looked class but Celtic's defence is shit. Worrying as there central defense pairing will most likely be Scotlands defence next week.
