Great result.. Rest is unimportant.. As for phil brown it just seems like an angry rant wanting to blame everything under the sun for his defeat.. inconsistencies in his statement and a definite lie about wenger not shaking his hand earlier do not give credence to his story about fabregas spitting..(and why should what fabregas wears be any of his concern?)

And as for fabregas having spat at ballack i am certain ballack said later that fabregas did not spit..the video isnt conclusive.

What was that Phil ‘assclown’ Brown? Wenger never shakes your hand? Is that so? Really?!?

Something else to point out- after the RVP goal he runs over to Arshavin along with everyone else and Arshavin basically tells them to get out of his face and keep playing because another goal was needed… This is the type of leadership we have been lacking. The kind that constantly keeps our youngsters from admiring their own brilliance and being satisfied… RVP immediately turned and sprinted to get the ball and continue play… Arsene Wenger should absolutely be ARRESTED for stealing Arshavin at the price he did. We will win the EPL or CL next year. You heard it here first…

Hello all!

I not always post, because I dont have always positive things to say, and to express negative things (like my hate Bendtner LOL) I prefer to dont post.

BUT I read every single post of everyone, and reading the coments on the last post I see that there many players of FIFA09 on Xbox LIVE, so I decide to create a Legue for us.

Just go to search online leagues and type in the name of the league: Arsenal FC Blog

The abreviattion of the league is: AfcB

And the pasword of course is: Spanishfry

We could be coneccted there and play one vs one or make a tournament or wheteaver to have fun online.

See ya.

@ jay-jay – So Senderos, Eboue and Ade get sold. Pull in Traore and Gilbert as covers for lm and rb respectively. Then either sell one more and buy back the Flamster or rely on Song/Denilson to keep progressing as our top 2 DM’s. As thin as the squad seems sometimes, there is an abundance of talent floating around the club. Vela, Traore, Nasri, and Arsha can all play left. Cesc, Nasri and Diaby (who has also gotten the attention of other teams) are options at cm. Song and Denilson as the dm options. Rosicky (I truly want the man to succeed after such an awful spell in the training room), Walcott, Arsha and Bendy can all play out right. And then up top we have Eduardo, RVP, Arsha, Vela and Bendy as options. This is all without even mentioning Eboue and Ade who I hope we sell. I think Arsenal can make some serious waves in the league next year and with the return of Cesc before the next tournament rounds, Arsenal could very well nick a trophy this season. I am very happy to be filled with such optimism after such a trying fall and winter.

Two things: Goal was definitely offside – it’s Djourou’s touch that counts – the touch off Myhill was no more than a deflection rather than a deliberate pass back – that’s what makes the difference. So we were lucky. BUT: What’s all this whinging crap from the Hull establishment? Did you hear them saying anything in the last round when they had a non-existent goal awarded to them against Sheffield United? Has Phil Brown just surpassed Fergie as hypocrite of the year?

Well played Mike Riley! And I never thought I’d say that.

@ Medeski – Not sure about Sendy – just hope he stays there! dont want him back. Traore is very good on the LM so maybe he could be in the CC squad for the LM. Gilbert has played nearly all Leicesters games and he is a RB and since they are top by a bit, he must be good so he could well have an important impact next season. and who would I like to see um we could get Maxi Rodriguez from Atletico, offer Eboue in the deal. umm, swap Ade for David Villa + Cash (Valencia have to sell to keep up finances) and um either Flamini back or keep Song because he really has been doing the business recently. Keeper would be either Given or not sure.

Apparently Bischoff is already casting glances elsewhere, so that’s one less contender for the role of midfield anchorman!

It’s like he just turned up and used Arsenal like a gym!

I had to be at work and missed the game yesterday. I was constantly checking the score on my phone. It was quite depressing to see it read 1-0 Hull so quickly and for so long. I don’t think I was very pleasant to be around at the time. All of a sudden I checked and it read 1-1 81min. The next time I checked I read the beautiful line 2-1 Arsenal, Final.

I don’t have anything to add about the game, obviously, but I have a couple comments/questions about the upcoming transfer season.

1-How has Senderos been playing at Milan? I noticed he has not been getting huge amounts of playing time. Our central defense has been playing better of late so what do you all think we will do with him at the end of his loan?

2-Gibbs has been playing very well backing up Clichy. Should Arsenal be looking to sell Traore if we can find a good price for him once his loan with Portsmouth is up? Maybe the money to find a DM?

3-I don’t know much about Kerrea Gilbert. I know he’s a defender playing on loan with Leicester City. He’s started most of their games as they look poised for promotion. Does he play left, right, central??? I feel foolish for not knowing. If he plays/can play on the right would it be a bad idea to sell Eboue (since his stock should rise if he keeps up his recent performance) and use Gilbert as Sagna’s backup? With injury recoveries over the summer we will have an overstocked midfield with Rosicky, Arsha, Walcott, Bendy, etc. all very capable of playing on the right. Just an idea.
4-Who is on everyone’s radar in terms of players Arsenal might want to bring in? Esp. keepers and defensive mids.

Bit late posting today, but must say I agree wioth your summing up SF. Adn, yes, Bendtner was great last night. The first goal was entirely down to his battling persistence. another quick point- the crowd at the emirates were brilliant last night. It sometimes goes very quiet when we’re playing poorly, but the volume went thru’ the roof when Hull took the lead, and it visibly lifted the team, especially in the secodn half.
Also, Hull’s timewasting was disgraceful- Myhill started it as soon as they’d scored. You expect a bit of fannying around if you’re a goal ahead with 10 minutes to go, but starting it after a quarter of an hour was riduculous. I’ve got no sympathy with that whinging prat Brown- Hull got what they rightfully deserved last night- nothing.
