The latter-- I agree with the first.

Retro Ramble: Arsenal 0 Fiorentina 1, 27th October 1999 | The Football Ramble Blog

i honestly have never watched that game. can't find any video of it. i've been looking though, as it combines both of my favorite teams in the world. would love to see the pre-AC Fiorentina Viola debacle teams, and how they lit it up for a while. the current team has nothing on the Viola of old.

Seeing Juve stripped of those titles post-Calcioploi (sp-- iPad spelled that & I'm going with it) scandal was sad, but the Fiorentina aftermath was really a tragedy of the sport. I'm not a Viola fan, but I like seeing them do well.

the verminator is a fvcking beast, just wanted to add that. Crazy how one man can impact a team/match.

we don't need batman, we've got robin :rofl2:

I loved that banner.

By the by, Phelan, did you watch the match in Spanish live or in English? I watched the Spanish telecast & after a while, didn't really notice the commentators-- it was kind of nice to not have the invective & general crap pumped into my ears.

& word on Vermaelen.

Both! I woke up and watched it on Fox Deportes, was highly bemused by their name pronunciations. But you're right, after a while it was nice to not have to deal with the usual commentator drivel.

When I tuned in the afternoon to see what was on, I watched the first half again in English. Kind of funny how they think Arsenal never got out of 2nd gear :rofl2: this from the same crew who pretty much said we were relegation fodder.

It was really really nice to hear the Emirates Stadium speak up again. It's been a while since I last heard the stadium that loud.

France game sucked. Remy's goal was very well taken, but the whole game was boring.

Thanks for the invite...

good to see V.Persie on fire...

Which of Wenger's new signings do you see getting really good as the season continues ?

International break :yawn:

I actually don't care about ANY of the new signings. I care about RvP signing a damn contract extension!


My worst fears are coming true about the USA team - Klinsmann is nothing without a solid backup coach like Joachim Low. And did anybody else fall asleep trying to watch England / Spain? I thought my eyes were going to fall out.

...wow, costa rica are beating spain!

Sup Netherlands fans :D
