so blue66, you're a Bayern fan ?

I've never really seen them play, so been watching re-runs of some of their games from earlier this champions league season...

any score prediction/s ?

Hell yeah I am a Bayern fan.

3-1 Bayern. Gomez with the brace and Robben with a goal.

Pathetic when you dominate the game and the other team sits in the box and wins.

I wouldnt go THAT far man, Chelsea had you guys on the back foot quite a few times, i'd not say it was a dominant performance for any team really, Gomez was shyt once again (nice sitter from 8 meters btw), Robben was shooting for Jupiter and Boateng was all 6's and 7's. They showed alot of intent to score, but couldnt find one. That Muller goal was class, but Cech should have saved that one, it went over his head for christ sakes.

But like Phe said, in the end, Tottenham wont be playing in Europe next year

btw, this Van Persie shyt is giving me flashbacks of Fabregas last year... same stories, same player comments.. "we'll wait until the summer", "we'll wait until after the Euros"... I hate to admit it, but I think we may lose Captain VanTastic, I just pray we have better backups planned than we did last transfer season. Poldi will be a nice addition TO RvP, but not a slot in by a longshot.

I gotta say, I think Van Persie is too good for the current Arsenal team. He really played great this season, but no one knows if his loyalty is w/ the Gunners.

Do you know which teams are most interested in him? What is he worth ($) ?

I watched that 8-2 loss against Manchester on TV a few days ago. For finishing 3rd place, we really had to work hard and Wenger had to make those purchases. If it's what Van Persie wants and the manager sees some way/ someone to strengthen the front line, I'm all for the change.

At least 30 million quid. I'd say Man City or Real Madrid can buy him easily. Barcelona have ruled themselves out.

RvP a long time ago said his dream was to play for Arsenal or Barcelona. He was a kid back then, but I'd like to think he's living his dream right now. He could stay. Poldi is a good start, but we need more. If Kroenke opens up the war chest for AW, we could strengthen and be challengers. We are better organized than Man City, and we've proven even with a **** squad we can hang with them.

I saw that video of when V. Persie said his dream was to play for Barca or Arsenal... maybe you posted it earlier in this thread ?.?.

Yeah, the new guys definitely needed time to mesh this season, and still do next year.
I don't think Gervinho ever got into very good form. Mertesacker got injured, unfortunately.
Arteta did really well, as did Chamberlain as the season went on. I like seeing Spanish style in the midfield: maybe it reminds me of Fabregas a bit

I'm excited to see us compete w/ both Manchester teams next season. As long as Wenger is more organized and settled w/ his squad, we should be able to beat any team in the league.
