I guess none of this early season stuff matters, Arsenal will be right at the top come the end of the season anyway. And just about to demolish whom ever in the CL final, shortly after annihilating another lower classed team in the FA cup. And laughing at some lame team who are so proud to have won the Carling Cup.

Nice goal by Auckland FC.

I am also highly interested in the Liverpool Arsenal game, it's in Liverpool isn't it?

I think it's only a matter of time before Liverpool start doing well again, and they will come back to finish fourth at the end of the year. ;)

Or maybe 3rd if Man U or Chelsea fuck up.

There will be goals for both teams I believe, as both of our defences are pretty shaky at the moment.

TBH I seriously believe we will come away with the win. Or it will be a draw.

The only thing that will stop us from winning is the hole in our attack that Van Persie has left. :(

I see Auckland City are down 0-1 at half time to Atlante. I have no idea how that competition works, is it knock out?

Awesome to see Chelsea and Man City drew, and EVEN BETTER TO SEE THAT SCUM HAVE LOST!

To Wolves aswell, at home!

HAH.

Then Liverpool will lose tomorrow night, and the almighty gunners will be well and truly back in the race.

I hope that game is better than the crap we just had in P North.
That place ain't fit for football of any code. The crowd was a joke.

Long convoy home for the Yellow Fever after that match. Couldn't get out of P North fast enough.

Just watching the game now, 40th minute down to Kuyt, not going to read any other post in this forum until the end of the match.

Liverpool seem to be playing quite well now, but there's no way they can make a season come back against the mighty Arsenal, I think we will overpower them in the second half. Arshavin and Walcott are almost invisible at the moment though.

EDIT:

For once an own goal has been scored in our favour. :heheh:

EDIT2: Arshavin you wonder man, able to be quiet for 89 minutes, and score one hell of a goal in the one minute you decide to play football.

Mighty Arsenal Gunners.

Pretty hilarious video clip, was only released onto the net by some guy from 'Arsenal Mania' last week, and it's already got about 300,000 views, and it was in thesun.co.uk

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2775860/Andrey-Arshavin-is-a-Manure-fan-in-Back-To-The-Future-viral.html

and this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/6835017/Arsenals-Andrei-Arshavin-covers-Liverpool-players-in-manure-in-spoof-YouTube-video.html

Apparently some guy from ESPN emailed him asking if they are allowed to talk about it on a soccer TV show.

The internet can do some wonderful things.

Which is almost as funny as the fact that liverpool got knocked out of the CL, and aren't looking too well for the EPL either.
