More of that please Arsenal!

How is it that Theo had his worst game of te season by far, yet still could've got a hat trick?

No way, he's played way worse than that. He was pretty dire for the first 35 minutes - but he's definitely played worse than that. Jesus, Milan for instance?

Yea, I was more talking about his first half. Was abysmal, we actually would've been far better with him off the pitch.

Yea, Milan was shocking, but the whole team was shocking then.

Either way it doesn't matter as he had a great second half and even if he wasn't to have, the rest of the team did anyway.

I haven't taken my Arsenal scarf off for days now. It still stinks of the beer I spilled all over it at The Emirates.

GG arsenal

i actually was talking with my father who is an arsenal supported prior to the game and I said the score would be 2-1 to Arsenal

Liverpool are the creators of their own demise, koshelney (excuse the poor spelling) has scored more goals for Liverpool this year against arsenal than anyone else

hopefully this highlights the need for some new players at Liverppol and our yank owners dish out

We don't need new players, we just need to trim the fat and rebuild.
Had Johnson or Agger been fit then that useless prick Carragher would have been where he belongs, warming a spot on the bench. If I was Kenny I would tell him to stay home on game days :).
Adam was having a bad day and should have been replaced, with no Gerrard though Adam is sure to stay on. Fucking Henderson, I am yet to see why he is even in the squad... Downing on the other hand has lifted and is now playing well. Bellamy should have been brought on earlier, Spearing played well as did Kuyt.... Eurpopa league next year will have to do.
I would like to see Coates get a run or two before the end of the season.

What are the Pool supporters opinion of Suarez? Especially that filthy rat dive last night.

TBH I thought he had an excellent game except for that dive, he was pressuring our defense the whole game and could easily have scored on a different day (and if we didn't have such a subliminal keeper - who seems to have come back from his recent patch of bad form).

Koscielny had a strange game for Arsenal, one minute he was making last man tackles, the next he was scoring own goals and completely messing everything up.

Sagna was brilliant, absolutely love him, there was one tackle of his which I remember the most, he was chasing after a Pool attacker who I think had broken through our defence and was pretty well on goal, then Sagna looped his leg around the player and dispossessed him. Rosicky, although he had a bit more of a quiet game -  he is 31 or there abouts, and has played a lot recently, so I think he needs more rest, no idea if he will even play against AC Milan, I'd say Gerv was rested for the most of the Pool game so he can come out firing and score 4 in the first half against AC Milan midweek.

Rat dive? Not sure what you saw but I saw him make the most of an obvious foul in the penalty area, as he is well known for :)
Szczesny caught him, accidentally maybe, but none the less he caught him so penalty... even if Suarez did then go on to perform the first act of MacBeth.

Szczesny redeemed himself fantastically in the end.

To answer you question though, it is a little embarrassing at times to watch him go on but if you have ever watched South American football then thats how they do it there, hopefully he will sort it out as Drogba seems to have done. The skills he has though are worth a little embarrassment every now and then and would rather have him than not.

Meh, the super slow motion didn't do it justice, it was a complete dive, the only contact made was after his feet had left the ground.

Also thought it was funny how the Scouser fans were jeering Rosicky with the 'Same old Arsenal, always cheating' chant after someone made that studs up straight into his shins tackle which easily could've broken his leg if he wasn't such a champion.

Of course this is an online poll, but 84% (1,555 votes) saying he did dive.. They can't all be Arsenal fans, especially considering I think Liverpool have more fans world wide than Arsenal.

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/did-luis-suarez-dive-to-win-liverpools-early-penalty-against-arsenal-videos-poll/

Anyway, he lost the ball before the tackle was even made, even if Suarez had not dived, he wouldn't have got to the ball, as it was out by the time the 'contact' was made.

No you asked for an opinion then told me MY opinion was wrong.... so my comment was merely meant that you support Arsenal so no point arguing/debating/giving one single fuck :)

@REDM@N... I know! I was shocked too! I didn't think that many low IQ people still lived in London.

I never said that, I was just voicing my opinion. Where did I say your opinion is wrong? Stop over reacting like all Liverpool fans always do. :P
