So we still have not proven to be a threat to arsenals premiership crown....bollocks! well maybe it is better we pay as little attention as possible to thi coz by saturday evening we could be top of the table.
So Wenger still not worried about Man Utd...........
- Thread starter Taker
- Start date
Well, i think he wouldn't be doing much good to Arse's confidence, if he says that he's pissing in his pants seeing us breathing down his team's neck isn't it? 
Not totally honest but shrewd ...

It's very satisfying watching Wenger squirm ATM.
'Unbeaten all season', 'best team in Europe', but the best most gratifying comment was after the UTD game last week when he was harping on about UTD playing a defensive game, then Fergie slammed him midweek saying ' I think Fabien had one save to make all match, make up your own minds'
Lovely.
I just love it when your rivals start skidding around in their own shit 'cos UTD are coming to town.
I can smell the fear.

Overconfidence on his part is good for us. Long may it continue.

After all,he doesn't want to motivate either of them them by suggesting it will again only be a 2 horse race,particularly,as we are due to play both of them in the next fortnight.
As for your performance against us,no arguments as to the result,but his point as to the style of your play that day was valid.It reminded me more of Liverpool circa 2001 than the classic Man Utd style of play.</strong><hr></blockquote>
He appears to have changed his tune aftersaying that Arse would go the season unbeaten. That was a little premature.
What he is diing is showing his, and his teams nerves, and loss of confidence.
And as far as the style of play is concerned, we have always been willing to scrap it out when nessecary, something that the Arse don't appear to be
eh gillespie he of selective memory the reason you got two points and we got one was because of previous on arsenal
Ronnie,why not try and come up with something a little more intelligent than this moronic drivel ?[/QB][/QUOTE]
You must admit, though, Wenger looks like he's got a feckin hairbrush up his arse in this past week. Fear in his eyes!!
I said we beat ourselves last season and that's the only reason you won the title. Your 'decade of dominance' has lasted one season, again...
We were too busy fighting each other last season to fight you, and you know it really.
Aren't you just a little bit afraid??
C'mon - admit it. We're behind you........................BOO! 2-0. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

Its a fair shout that though we had a great result against you we didnt play what we'd class our anything like our best football.
SAF's tactics on the day out foxed Wenger. He played 4-2-3-1 and the "2" stopped Pires and Henry having the space to turn and run at the back four. It really was a superb ploy.
We cant expect to play our most fluent football, we have too many flair players out. What we have got back is willingness to graft and belief in ourselves.
I talked about watching out for the wound MU beast and this is what we've seen of late.
Now we've got our confidence back the flair is starting to return also; we stroked it around superbly against Depor and West Ham.
We WILL get better than we are playing at the moment.
I also appreciate your comments on Wenger not wanting to rule out other contenders with you playing them soon.
Any way you want to slice it though, we're flying and we're only going to get better
Merry Christmas !

True...you are playing well at the moment.It must be a bonus that O'Shea/Brown and Silvestre appear to have provided a strong defensive base (which was a weak point of yours last year).With young players ,they can often come in to a team and play blindingly well for a couple of months but then lose form.So I expect that O'Shea might need to be rested in the new year,so it will be interesting to see what happens then.(I do think in this past month or so,O'Shea has been the star of your team)
I think Chelsea will be there to the end this season ,so they shouldn't be ruled out,despite their traditional brittleness,although I can't see Zola,at his age,keep his present form for much longer.
But,if I had to guess,I'd say it's down to us 2 again.Do you agree?
One last point,and a slight change of topic......What the hell has happened to Liverpool??I'd be interested in a Manc's view,any ideas??
Chelsea are much more of a threat than the dippers. It looks like Zola(frankie dettori) is having a bit of an Indian summer and he's fecking class so......it's be interesting how many points you drop over christmas cos you've got some tricky games coming up.
Houllier has taken the granny stabbers as far as he can. The players seem to be not willing to play for him and give hime their all and when that starts happening, it's a slippery slope. Gerrard and Murphy are flirting with each other constantly, Hypia dropped, Owen entering dressage contests week in week out.
And, of course, the gooners slipping around in their own shite........the futures bright!!#
Merry new year
chelsea will not finish within 10 points of the champions they stuggle at too many away games and i dont think they have played too many what u would call tough away games anyway yet.

Hmmm....not sure I agree with you....they seem more resilient this season.As for away games,They always seem to do well at your place.
well the last two away games i remember of chelsea are two draws against bolton and boro not good enough when they are supposedly playing well as united, liverpool and arsenal know a bad patch is usually just around the corner. so if they hit one they could find themselves well off the pace before they recover and they dont strike me as a team that could go an a 10 game winning run like united or arsenal are capable of.
It's quite difficult to see who is going to be the main threat to UTD this season 'cos all around are going through sticky patches(seamo).
Confidence wise, chelsea are the only ones playing in contention at the moment.

of course i think its only between united and arsenal.
but i think we will win it, your record of retaining it isnt very impressive is it?

Hmmm......last time we won it for 2 consecutive years was 1935 (when it was the 3rd year in succession).....so you may have a point...but,then it's about time we did,don't you think?
After all,it's a bit like saying that a team that hasn't won the title in 26 years has no chance of winning it..eh??

Don't even try to compare your achievements(??) with ours. You're a once in a blue moon team. Only one good vintage in every ten years. Great teams do it agin and again and again. You've just done it once.

i did keep saying we no chance of winning it until we actually did for the first time in 26 years, since then we should have won the title every year (but u cant have everything eh?)

O'Shea has been our 'find' of the season, Scholes and RVN are ahead of him in terms of shining IMO.
Chelsea probably realise that this is great opportunity to challenge. Net season they will have to replace Zola and Desaily which is no mean feat.
I'll try and offer a balanced view of Liverpoo, but you have to understand that its not in my nature
Poo fans have been getting all excited and their expectations have gone thru the roof. I see a large squad of players, many of whom are playing above themselves - carried along on recent success's. With the right spirit it happens. I liken them more to Wimbledon than to their own former glories. I'm not atall surprised that they've come unstuck, I'm just surprised it took so long.
An example of my theory is that results effect their next several performances. I.e. losing to us has really knocked them for six, whereas us losing to Siddy has had the opposite effect. If they beat Everton they might get back in the running. If they lose, then its goodnight Vienna
How was that? I tried !

Hmmm...wouldn't disagree with much there but I still hold to my view of O'Shea being the star.All too often defenders tend to be underrated when compared to attacking players.
As for the Scousers.....I tend to agree that ,although they have a large squad,their players with a few exceptions lack top quality.Too many journeymen in their team,whereas those players I do rate (Owen/Dudek/Gerrard/Hyppia/Hamann) all seem at one time or another to have had their confidence undermined by Houllier.
Too early to write anyone off,they're only 5 pts behind us (and 4 behind you)....but they do need to sort themselves out.(Hopefully ,only after we play them at Anfield on Jan 29th

Believe me I know him.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I'm not questioning his determination.It's just that I reckon he will be rested at some stage by Ferguson if only because young players can be overplayed ,resulting in a loss of form and confidence.
But never mind...there's always Rio to replace him

Well,I reckon the Trotters and El Tel will be taking an early unplanned Christmas holiday plus compensation of about a £1million.
