This is what worries me about this team, whenever they come up against a team that has size, and athleticism and are actually good(unlike Wolves) they will struggle.

nah. eduardo cant hold the ball up fantastically, we missed fit and in form forward types like walcott/bendtner/arshavin playing in and around him. nasris not gonna threaten from a wide position.

pleased with wengers sky interview though, none of the "2%/lacking a little sharpness" shyte.

transferred out bent for eduardo in FF

He was surprisingly straight forward after the match, about time, they ain't kids no more.

To me, it shows he thinks this team can contend and will contend

He hasn't been that upset at his team in years

shoulda started Vela

they played bad though, but lets not run with media talking points...

The pressure of 2nd place, being that arsenol haven't done anything for the best part of 20 years, 2nd place is like winning the world cup for the

Ah, you got me

FSC finally getting with the program.
I saw the signs a few matchdays ago when they showed the 10am match on FSC and another PL match on FSE.
This time they had Milan on FSC and (unadvertised I think) Spurs/Wigan at 10 on FSE.
While the Bayern match is on ESPND.
It's all good.

That being said I think it's gonna be another Spurs/Stoke situation.

Only up 1-0 at halftime when it could've been 3. The way things are going I think Wigan are gonna get the equalizer and end up 1-1.

And Scharner's haircut is brilliant

Ronaldinho was balling today

Messi out of the Inter game or is he? Is Pep tryin to play mind games with Jose. If Messi is out, I fancy Inter to win 2-1 or 3-1

Looks like it, a few of their players are out, swine flu has effected some of them. I think its touch and go whether Sneijder plays for us. I fancy us to win as it is, but even to pick up a draw and the nou camp and beat Rubin at home - job done.
