so he is good enough for the premiership? buts he's shit? im lost.

There are obviously different levels of shit. Just like different levels of good, right?

There's Reyes good, then there's Henry good.

There's the premiership's worst, then there's the Vauxhall Conference worst, isn't there? I don't think Crouch is THAT bad. I just think he's bad.

my opinion is that he would of been given a chance. whether he would of been taken to the world cup is another story.

Fair enough. Then I say this; Managers like Mourinho and Wenger don't play you if you are not consistantly good. So do you believe Crouch would keep getting games if he was at a club/international they managed?

if people fail to understand, no i wont succeed. your right.

I fail to understand why you believe it's a fact, because it's factually not. It's your opinion.

Hahahahahahaha. John Jensen was possibly the shittest player ever, couldn't even score in training. The man was once of Arsenal's most recognisable faces. Bear in mind this was back when they had the unstoppable Wright/Merson/K. Campbell strike force.

Ahh, see, that's where you fail. You provide proof as to why you THINK he's great (I agree with you, remember) and someone says "I don't agree", therefore they don't understand? They don't understand because they don't agree with you? Bit dumb, bit not-true. They just disagree.

They need a crespo type striker. someone like him would of put that game to bed way before. if they can avoid milan and barcelona, i think they could get far.

They need to discover that swagger in the premiership now.

I don't think Arsenal have a hope of beating Barca. I do think they could beat Milan though.

Arsenal can beat Barcelona. At their best they can beat anyone.

i could see Lyon winning it

The one goal he did score was an absolute cracker though, wasn't it? (I'm just saying this about Jensen, and it has no implication in regards to Crouch. Who is shit.)

As much as I feel it is my duty as a Spurs fan to hate Arsenal, I do admire the football Wenger likes to play, and his courage in playing quality young players. While I am hoping they fail to claw back to 4th place this season, I think their investment and trust in youth only bodes well for the future. Although, I think Henry is going to jump ship in the summer, along with Cole...

As for Barcelona, there isn't a better football team on the planet at the moment. They dare to dream the beautiful game, and they do it well. I really hope they can win the Champions League with that brand of football, as opposed to the style in which Liverpool won it last year (final against Milan being the exception).

exactly, although i always love to see Arsenal fail i do have huge respect for the investment in youth they push and how they dont play like Bolton.
However what i don't like is the distinct lack of english players.

Haha, yeah. Some 40+ yard screamer.

To be honest, I couldn't care less if we lose Cole. It's Henry I'm worried about.

Although as Lee Dixon said, when Henry arrived he couldn't hit a barn door with his shots. He became the player he is under Wenger, so Wenger must do something.

They do remind me of Arsenal in that sense, VVD said it previously while we were watching a game also. They're too good sometimes. If they finished all their chances they would be winning games with goals near double figures.

i always thoght that one of footballs strongpoints, was that any team can beat any other team... you alwyas hear of a few upsets along the way of any tournament... and arsenal beating barcelona wouldnt be an upset. i think its 50/50 personally.

It's difficult for me to catch any Arsenal games over here, are you saying they over-elaborate when they play? As in they're great to watch, but sometimes they do too much; sort of like Matthew Le Tissier compared to Ronaldinho, or is that too tenuous?

I would love it if Lyon won it. They are such an exciting team, I love watching them play.

Hell yeah Arsenal are over-elaborate they try to pass the ball into the net all the time. Always looking for one more pass even if they have an opportunity to score.

It's funny, you're talking.....but all I hear is blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bollocks, and more bullshit!!!

I said talk to me when you have something worth hearing to say, until then, I wish not to speak to you, because personally I find you terribly boring and cliqued, oh and predictable, like calling me boy is gonna bother me, get a ****ing clue!!!

Oh and yes I do know what language Brazilian people speak, it makes me laugh, you can never accept you're wrong, not even when it's arguing about something that I know is a fact, like as if you know what I do and don't know better than I do, grow up, you stupid mug
But like I said, if ya ain't got anything constructive to say to me, just stay away from me and keep ya mouth shut

Arsenal played well in the CL this year but I still think they'd get their ass handed to them by Barca. Yet for some reason I am getting the feeling the final will be Juve VS Milan. Milan did great, Juve won by chance. But in football it sometimes looks like the winner create their own luck.

But onto other matters, which 23 players would you to take to Germany if you were England manager??

I hit a nerve it seems.

i beleive/hope the final will be Lyon vs Milan, that would be an absolute behemoth of a match

I am tipping Milan to go all the way, after seeing how immature Barca and Chelsea got over the course of the last round, I lost respect for both of them, and i've always admired AC Milan's style of play

Let's not mention how they gave away a 3-0 lead, last year in the final though

But if I were to pick a team I thought are going to win the Champions League, i'd pick then

So I can't ask again?? I wasn't around when it was supposedly done before, and i'm interested in seeing what lists people come up with, fair do's if none of ya wanna post the list again, but I missed out, and would like to see what you think the line up should be

What do you mean by 'immature' ? How was Barca 'immature' ?

I dislike AC Milan a lot. Like most Italian teams, criminally overrated.

Barca and Chelsea are much better teams, so are Arsenal. When you can't beat Liverpool after going 3-0 up then you've sealed your own fate. Bearing in mind this is a team Benfica dominated and humiliated.
