Dunno, is Wenger suspended for the next game too?

Captain

They will drop until we draw Barca or Real.

Has nowt to do with it but Wenger is banned for two more games.

We needed him the other night though, Bould left his substitutions till the 74th minute.

That's 4 minutes later than Wenger does. 😆

Well it worked didn't it? no folding like umbrellas.

From F365.

Arsenal...Like It's 1989
For a certain vintage of Gooners, the last two matches have brought back the 'warm and fuzzies' from a bygone era. On the weekend there was a moment when the defence did a 'Full Monty' and appealed for an offside. It made me laugh. Last night against Montpellier the same thing happened. It's no fluke...the team is going retro.

Kinda tall and gangly, funny-passing, limited-ability centre-half who seems to get the job done - CHECK.
Talk bloke at front post for corner flick on - CHECK.
Tight defence moving as unit - CHECK.
Marauding left wing-back - CHECK.
All defenders appealling an offside with arms raised and shout at lino - CHECK, CHECK, AND CHECK.

Oh you'd better believe Bouldy is coaching the defenders!!!
Paul Chipperton, Toronto

Yeah tonight we're gonna party like it's 1989! 8)

I picture Wenger and Bould doing the the 'good cop/bad cop' routine.

You can decide which is which. 🙂

Sounds great that. Bring Sagna in and that's as good a back line as anyone's in the league.

How was Winterburn going forward? Only saw him in his last few years. Seen some of his scorchers though.

Burnwinter

I suppose I should act like I know the answer to this question well. 🙂

He certainly didn't score too many cracking goals like the one that had us beat Chelsea 3-2 away in 97-98.

According to my recollection, he was pretty useful in a dead ball situation from time to time, and could hit it if he had time to get his head over the ball.

But he wasn't really an overlapping player after the manner of a Gibbs or a Cole, or a combination player. And of course he was one of the four members of the tightest defence around, brilliant tackler and a pretty tireless runner.

Others who were older during his peak years may have a more refined memory ...

Different era. They had this crazy notion back then that FBs were primarily on the pitch to defend. 😆

lol I just placed a 350 pound bet on Barca at 4/1 with 5mins to go. Xavi scored shortly after!

Champions league round one and two is where all the money is to be made (not on accumulators obviously).

How much is the total accumulated odds?

It was over 100/1, can't remember exactly.

Did it again with Barca yesterday, only that this time round didn't have the balls to put 350quid as its Sevilla. Placed 80 @ 3.5 odds during halftime, then went to sleep. Woke up and saw how the match went, thankful I didn't stay up for the 2nd half. 😆 Would have had a heart attack. Then again the odds would have been fantastic at 2-0 down and 2-1 down late on.

Fucking hell, someone called @visionofscholes from twitter just won 63k from a 0.50p bet. Incredible

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Just saw that. Bloody amazing.
