They won't make top four! :p

It's nice to see that exactly the same shit has been spouted by the media for so long now.

This year everyone hopes they get it right :p

How is Arsene's bargain hunting going?

[Spork]

We don't need anyone else, if we do - Gunnersaurus will step up.

Kaka AC Milan held the first press conference after the handover. Kaka made ​​it clear that the media themselves with very deep feelings of AC Milan, the Rossoneri still the most powerful European football is one of seven teams, the new season the team to fight for the championship trophy.

I never would have thought that we would be top of the league pending Liverpool overtaking us once they beat Swansea tomorrow morning.

Good win for Arsenal on the weekend, probably didn't deserve the 3 points.

That was one fine win against Coventry last night, a lot of people saying that Coventry put up a good fight, which they did, however at no point did they look like like they would be able to do enough. THey had a couple of chances and that was it. Was very cool with the lights turnbing off and everyone using their phones though.

I really do not care if Arsenal win anything this season, the progression over the last few seasons especially is excellent. It's fantastic to see Arsenal on top of the table for the majority of the season so far.

Whoa 5-1 .Pants down

Good old Liverpool fans, stay well away from the subject until they do something good.

Typical Arsenal, doing as much as we can to throw away the best chance at winning the league we have had in ages.
Still only one point off, but I don't expect Arsenal to be able to keep up right through to the end. Has been a fantastic season though, at the top for so long.

is this thread like dead?

BTW, how do you all think about the Champions League semi-final draws?

[Lias]

Thread's not dead.

Chelsea still in it to win it for EPL and CL.

Be very interesting to see if Courtois plays for Atletico.

Right

"Courtois will only play against Chelsea if we reach an agreement" - Enrique Cerenzo, Atletico Madrid president

Reports say Atletico will have to pay around 8.5 million pounds for Courtois plays. I'm not sure about these reports though.

[Lias]

Nothing substantiated.. but apparently the contract says he can play, but they need to pay Chelsea X many million pounds, UEFA says that's null and void, Chelsea say he can play but behind the scenes are reportedly fuming at UEFA, and atletico don't want to piss off Chelsea because they want him back again next season.

So yeah gonna be interesting :-)

[Macks]

Yep, actually looking forward to the CL matches since I'll be on holiday. Which club do you support, Lias? I'm a Man utd fan here

ewww your yuck lol.

Chelsea here mate.

[Macks]

I can't help it - I love the club, mainly my love for Cristiano Ronaldo and our Ginger prince. haha, still upset about the loss against Bayern but we put up a valiant effort and never stop fighting till the end.

How do you feel about the CL draw, since Courtois may or may not play.

Regardless of if he plays, this was the draw we wanted..Atletico is the weakest possible opponent.

[Spork]

Fuck yea FA cup! Finally the death of the 'since Arsenal last won a trophy' shit is over. Now there's lots of rumours about Cesc returning to the PL which is a bit strange, doubt it would happen but I would love him back at Arsenal - who wouldn't?

I'm hoping that we can at least bring in one or two good players to improve the squad and hopefully have us put in a proper challenge on the title for 14/15.

So what's on atm? Some world cup or something?

Brazil vs Germany  ~ 2-1 to Germany?
