dont forget to watch us beat your team senslessly in 2/3 weeks time.
Liverpool seem to step it up in Europe even if they are playing a Premiership team, hence the two wins over chelsea. It would be just like them to grind out a tight, tactical win over the two legs and get thumped 4-0 in the league game.
you have done down in my estimationsi cant believe anyone would seriously say that

I like it when the opponents are overly confident we always seem to surprise them
All arsenal fans are talking as if they have a bye through to the semi finals now. Chelski thought the same tht they had the easy tie against us and inter thought they would trounce us.
Lets see what happens
Not over confident as at all....it should be a great tie over 2 legs.I like it when the opponents are overly confident we always seem to surprise them

The amusing thing is the Liverpool fans saying how good they are in Europe. Thats true tbh......unfortunately you arent playing a continental team this time.
We are also a totally different prospect to Chelski.
I doubt Arsenal will win anything this year. Squad simply doesn't have the strength in depth to compete. We have an inability to change the way in which we play due to the personnel available. It's all very well thinking that we can score right upto the 90th minute with a single style but recently we have been pretty poor in the final third and are not creating the opportunities. That's when you need to change things and there simply aren't the choice of players available to do it.
I said at Christmas that Arsene needed to spend some cash if we were to compete in April but it seems he has some master plan. Maybe he isn't serious about winning the league and sees this year as a building year after Henry's departure. Not spending money that was freely available has come back to bite us in the rear.
At a time when Liverpool's Gerrard and Torres are starting to pay off and their confidence grows and ours is going in the opposite direction I think Liverpool are the better bet over the two games. I hope they are good games but I think Arsenal's season will unravel shortly. Too many young players and not a lot of natural leaders in the side. I think that next year will be a different story though and we'll do extremely well in all competitions.

Liverpools problem (for the last 20 years it feels) has been consistency. On any given day there's no team in the world that can beat them (and by the way, there's a good reason Arsenal is spelt like that...)
We've been absolutely useless in the League since the 90's because we've had no consistency but that doesn't really matter in Europe. It's the performance on the night that matters...
It's been said that Rafa is useless against Premiership opponents, and our position in the league does support that to a degree. He's great against European ones though, and unless I'm mistaken, Liverpool vs Arsenal as a Champions League fixtire is a European match, not Prem.
See you in the final... NOT!
Of course its a European fixture...its NOT against Continental opposition though is it. It makes no odds what competition its in, its still an English tie.
BTW...when you say 'WE' are you talking about Southampton or Portsmouth because being in Hampshire, surely you cant be talking about Liverpool.
And you being in cambridge shouldnt you be supporting a local team?
Yea i wonder how many liverpool and manu fans actualy live close by to the actual club. i live very close to arsenal and ben supporting them since they was a mid table team so i am no glory hunter.
Actually, if you would care to read (or learn to), its CAMBRIDGESHIRE, not Cambridge.
Peterborough is my nearest local team when at home (7 miles away) and i go too almost all of their homes games (and a few away) aswell.
1. I was born in North London, as were my mum, dad and my 3 brothers. Is THAT near enough for you?
2. I am still only 35 minutes from the ground up the A1
3. I go to the Emirates at least twice a month (Silver Member). Im not an airchair fan like most.
Maybe im lucky, i earn decent money so can afford the matches if i get time to go. Unfortunately though, with most fans (who know it all), i could buy their ticket, give them their petrol money, and they STILL wouldnt know where the ground was.
So...yes, i am a 'real' fan that doesnt sit there in my living room quoting stats about a team i never support PROPERLY.

I was born there, raised there, educated there, had 2 kids there, and left only after 24 years seek gainful employment (in Cambridgeshire before moving to Hampshire), have family up there and visit as often as work allows. I figure that means I'm still qualified to still support Liverpool.BTW...when you say 'WE' are you talking about Southampton or Portsmouth because being in Hampshire, surely you cant be talking about Liverpool.
Being 5 hours away in Hampshire means I've become (dare I say it) more of an armchair supporter. This year I've only been to the Blackburn match, and boy was I glad I went....
However, a fair-weather supporter I ain't, and it's Liverpool till I die.
SO just to check then your a proper fan but because Ajones lives in hampshire he cant be a proper liverpool fan even though he was born and bred in liverpool?
SO all arsenal fans are from london now?
1995?
