If this ends up being the case please keep all spoilers confined to this thread, as I won't be able to finally watch it until late Wednesday or Thursday.

Maybe they should be in the market for some defenders. It's amazing how much of a gap exists in goals against between the top three and the rest of the pack. I hate defensive football but it definitely pays to keep the ball out of the back of your net.pk500 wrote:Latest rumor: Spurs may make a bid to Wolfsburg for my boy D'Allessandro. If Spurs gets him, I'll watch a few more Spurs' games than usual next season.
Too bad Fat Freddie won't bid for him.
Take care,

doug, man u played a great game, especially defensively. why proclaim arsenal's downfall because of it? arsenal has plenty of young talent with reyes, flamini, fabregas and van persie. They'll have some money this offseason, and after they move into the new huge stadium, more money will flow in.dougb wrote:Dave,
BTW, Bergkamp looks absolutely lost out there without Henri. Come to think about it, the only decent Arsenal moves against United were ones initiated by Ljunberg. Looks like Arsenal, without some decent signings, are heading downwards in the table the next few years.
Hargreaves does VERY well in the Bundesliga, but once the Champions League games roll around, he never shows up. It baffles the hell out of us Bayern supporters. In fact, he started almost ever game in the Bundesliga, but was a reserve in most UEFA matches.dougb wrote:Speaking of Squid,
Latest in the Guardian is that Hargreaves is going to be joining Liverpool from Bayern. I've only seen Hargreaves a few times (mostly England games) but I've never been that impressed by him. Any thoughts on how good a pickup he would be for Liverpool? Supposedly he'll replace Hamann.
Best wishes,

I'd be more nervous about being a man u fan. they played great and couldn't win the FA cup. They also have a new owner who they hate and went w/o any hardware this year. aside from ronaldo, the midfield is slow and uncreative.
I have no doubt arsenal's first 11, with healthy ljungberg and henry, would have made that a much different game.
penalties is a tough way to end a big match, but I loved the guts arsenal kickers showed going upper half on every kick. a well struck upper penalty is virtually impossible to stop.
Hargreaves might suit Liverpool well then since their trouble is not being able to get up for league matches rather than European fixtures. Be nice to have another player who shows up for those 'ordinary' run of the mill Saturday matches - unlike quite a few of the current squad.fsquid wrote:Hargreaves does VERY well in the Bundesliga, but once the Champions League games roll around, he never shows up.
