Must suck to have kept Bendtner & sold Eduardo.
Didn't Fred say that Lyon were on par with Juventus and hours later Lyon lose to Benfica while Arsenal lose to Shakthar Donetsk? :lol2:

1) Arsenal played with a second string team, we have a tough away game in the league and we already had 9 points before the Shakhtar game.

2) Lyon have better individuals and are currently a better team than Juventus. So they lost 4-3 to Benfica, Juve drew at home with Red Bull Salzburg.

3) I love Eduardo B, he could have been big for us before his injury, but truth be told, Bentdner was much better for us last season.

Second string team? Fuck off, this is the CL not the english league cup.

True but Lyon are only good in Ligue 1.:boh:

Looking at it now, sure but Bendtner will show his true worthless colors & screw up as usual.Eduardo just needed more time & less pressure.


Just saw the past few pages, wtf, what happened here? :lol:

Edit: Snoop is back, no wonder. :D
No, not because of Snoop, well he added the petrol to the fire. We just wanted to dedicate five pages of bullshit smack talk just for you.:D

So a 2nd string Arsenal team losing to Shakhtar is understandable but a injury-hit Juventus where we fielded a bunch of Primavera players tying with Salzburg reflects poorly on us?

second string?? How the fck are Rosicky, Nasri, Walcott, Squillaci, Wilshere, Clichy and Bendter second string, not to mention they subbed in Chamahk and Vela.

They weren't prepared is all it came down too.

Out of the players you mentioned only Nasri, Clichy, Wilshere and Squillachi are first team starters. Chamakh didn't even start the game. Rosicky and Walcott are not starters, they'll be back on the bench when its EPL time. Vela and Niklas are regular bench warmers.

Its the same story with us every season, we win our first 3 games, we get 9 points, we feel safe and start giving our regular starters a rest in CL games.

As for Juve, i didn't know they played with a second string team.

still, considering this season, those are all players that have been seeing a lot of playing time. I said they subbed in Chamahk but he did get to play. That is definitely a team they could field in the EPL after adding Fab and maybe Arshavin which has probably been your worst player so far.

There's no way I would call that a reserve team however, especially considering Wenger's propensity to play everyone.

Eastmond started instead of Song, Eboue started instead of Sagna, Djourou started instead of Koscielny, Rosicky started instead of Cesc, Theo started instead of Arshavin and Niklas started instead of Chamakh.

The players i mentioned above, would rarely start an EPL game if the opposite player was fit, that is for sure.

The only reason you have this perception that Wenger rotates is because we get so many of those minor injuries, so his hand is actually forced sometimes. But when everyones fit, Wenger is the sort of manager that rarely ever rotates.
