Ken Gargett Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 play like absolute garbage against your most hated enemy for 80 minutes. the match that matters more than any other (line ball with the final, i guess). and then, despite not looking like scoring a try for the entire game, to come up with a 70 metre hail mary freak try after nsw had the chance to kick the ball out and win the game and didn't. how good is that!! and to do it in sydney as well. NEVER IN DOUIBT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 to put it in context for our american friends, it is the equivalent of the glorious redskins ( = queensland reds) playing the hated cowgirls ( = nsw or 'voldemort's team') in dallas and playing like utter crap all game. not looking like scoring a touchdown. then on the last play of the game, romo tries to go down on his knee to run out the clock but fumbles and a skin runs the length for the touchdown. but even better.

Ken Gargett Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 and the next morning, just as good (as much as one does love the gunners, winning the triple and beating man u with the last kick of the game in each of them, wouldn't match seeing the magnificent qld reds beating those blowhard wannabees from the south).

CaptainQuintero Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 YOu should have some good celebrations coming again soon enough, I'd think Arsenal are always going to be safe under Arsene's stewardship. Never replacing Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, Gilberto, Keown, Campell and Viera is never going to do any team any good, never mind who is in charge. He only needs three or four experienced players and an on the pitch leader and they will be back to the top four, the youngsters like Wilshere, Oxlade Chamberlain, Ramsey etc are a great core for the future. Just a few players need to be let go, you know those who would struggle to get into a Leeds team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been spoilt with captains, Adams then Keown then Viera then Henry. They have probably had their fill of giants on the pitch, I think Wilshere will be a great leader as long as his injury issues don't become a regular thing. Watching him outpass xavi and iniesta in the champions league first leg last year was amazing. That Mertezecker (sp) I think will come good too, he's young and it must be a shock to get dumped right in the thick of it after playing in Germany and a steal at £7m. He's twice the player of David Luis at Chelsea and he cost what, £32.5 million lol? The future is bright as long as they can steady the ship like you said for a year or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 mertesacker is 28? so a couple of good years you'd hope. my feeling is actually much more dismal. they have a tough run in and i can't see them pinching 4th from chelsea. that means no champions next year. that means much harder to attract good players but far more important, more difficult to keep your own top players. very hard to see van p wanting to stay if no prospect of champions.

CaptainQuintero Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think he's only around 24, and Vermalen is a top class defender, just those injuries keep piling up on him. I agree 4th could be difficult with the Blue Moon's rising of late but to be fair, they have been in the champion's league for a decade and haven't attracted any big stars or kept any of their big stars in all that time. I remember back in'02 rumours about Trezeguet joining but the big names have never materialised, and whenever a club comes in for players they have been happy to let them go: Reyes, Hleb, Fabregas, Nasri, Cole, Toure, Flamini etc.. If they didn't attract or keep top player while in the CL they must be reasonably stable, I think their play style attracts younger players but again it's just that backbone they need to turn the promise they have into trophies. At the very least you don't have to worry about mercenaries turning up just for the money and have Tevez situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
