after all, nothing like "lol barca dna, come back to nou camp" to freak out arsenal. i think it's actually not a bad play for fabregas either. AW now has a serious issue on his hands whether he likes it or not, and he will go out and spend the money to upgrade the squad.

joe cole is a good one because we'll at least up the amount of english players on the squad, so we're not Ligue 1, London lol. but seriously, as much as i want gourcuff, ARSENE BUY A GODAMN CENTREBACK ALREADY.

but until he comes out and says 'i want to leave' (and i seriously doubt he will), cesc is still a gunner.

**** barca. and xavi, go play on CSI or something. you don't know **** about DNA. Three and in – not just another football blog Blog Archive Xavi is obsessed with Cesc’s DNA

You make some good points, but with all the talk of Barca offering Yaya + Cash, and Fabregas hinting at how much of a dream it would be to play for his former club again, and all these presidents promising he'll be at Barca, i've just given up to be honest.

And I found this article to be quite amusing... RvP, better than C. Ronaldo.

Netherlands & Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is better than Cristiano Ronaldo - former youth coach Rene Hessel - Goal.com

lol @ red believing an article on goal.com

I also seen one on telegraph saying that he has signed a "pre" contract with Arsenal should he pass a medical once the cup has convened, then it becomes official, which further added fuel to the fire.

[Red370]

believe me, I dont care either way, Joe Cole is alright, but not the midfielder I want in the team at all.

Just redid my bracket

[Red370]

and who is the new champ?

I was just thinking, those of you who follow Arsenal, who is one player in the Gunners' past that you kinda miss seeing playing for us?

ooh, the rematch, except this time an aging Oliver Kahn isnt between the sticks, that would prove to be an interesting match.

I dont think anyone is giving the dutch enough credit this year, they arent everyones dark horse for nothing...

Aging? Kahn was 32 in the 2002 WC. Thats not aging lol. He was insane up until his retirment s0n.

Yeah it would be a great rematch I would love to see it lol. I had a tough decision between Spain/Germany.

Too injury prone...I just have a bad feeling. They can go far but something worries me.

[Red370]

Is it me, or is MLS soccer just a string of inaccurate long balls and sloppy fouls? I'm watching the Sounders game on ESPN and I find myself sitting here in mind numbing awe of how horribly the game flows.... Ljungberg takes posession, passes to Ianni, sloppy long ball played straight to DC United defense, defender plays sloppy long ball down the field, possession changes, ball back in midfield, 5 players swarm to the ball, more sloppy jarring... my god its terrible...

[Red370]

and shyt, can anyone in this league cross the ball in mid stride? I played better balls on my ODP U-15 team.

The Galaxy are the only good team when complete lol.


I turned that game off btw
