Oh yeh also just for the record...

Arsenal 12 Liverpool 4

Where was you when arsenal won liverpool 6-3?

the point bein' sometimes you lose... sometimes you win... when you win... you over-praise your team... when you lose... you complain about the other team's tactics...

and i'm not a Liverpool fan... i hate them probably as much as you... so i'm not angry at the result... how can i be when i made big bucks from it?

What do facts and stats have to do with anything? They're irrelevant to a one off game and the two teams put out last night. Take your own advice and compare the teams and you'll see Liverpool fielded a weakened side, even Wenger was surprised at how many changes Benitez made from the original 11 he put out in the fog abandoned game. If you can't recognise squad players and youth players from other sides then you need your eyes testing, you seem to have no problem being able to laud your own youngsters/reserves.

I have no problem saying that clearly the better team won and won in an emphatic manner and i applaud Arsenal for the way they played the game last night. But don't over dramatise what was in effect two shadow squads slugging it out, all it proved was that Arsenal have better youngsters and reserves than Liverpool do, but then i could have told you that before the match anyway

Yep, tru say sometimes we win and some times we loose. When we have defeated teams in the past read my comments i say stuff like "good game, tuff game" and if we loose then its like "****" when have i over praised them? apart from last night when c'mon its not everyday you win liverpool with such a big score. Sometimes I disagree with wengers comments, with stuff he says about the oppositions tactics, but you cannot hold this against the whole team.

I was just stating the facts from yesterdays game with the average age, when you said we both had young players playing, i very much doubted that as the average age of the liverpool team is shown. I did take my advice and you know what? its not just me but every1 is saying that liverpools side which was put out was stronger. How can you say the Arsenal team was stronger when i have already shown you how experieced the Liverpool side was? I think you need your eyes testing, its not just Arsenal fans, but Man Utd, Chelski and even liverpool fans stating the side that was put out by them was far by stronger than Arsenals.

Yeh it was a good game, shame tho such an ar.se whoopin would put a big dent in Benitez's future, Haha. Oh well all is not doom and gloom they can concentrate on beating Barca and winning the CL. Good Luck.

Arsenal were a bit lucky yesterday i thought, Liverpool had the better of the play early but Arsenal got 3 crucial goals in the 5 minutes before half time, 2 of which Dudek should have prevented and the other was a clear offside

I think the youth element is being overplayed too, Denilson, Walcott and Traore were all on the fringes of the game and didnt really do anything, the game hinged on Arsenals forwards outplaying Liverpools defence, and Arsenals forwards were hardly youth team players, Aliadiere is 23/24 now and Baptista is a Brazilian international!

Always funny to see the scouse get hammered though, imagine if reina got injured and Dudek had to play the rest of the season!

Again what has average age to do with anything? Take out Fowler, Dudek and Hyppia and i'm sure the average age would be significantly reduced. How can you doubt Liverpool had young players playing, did you not watch the match? Last time i checked Guthrie, Peltier, Pauletta & Gonzalez were all young players. Did you somehow miss they were playing?

It seems you do need your eyes testing as you don't seem to be able to read my comments correctly. I've not said anything about Arsenal having the stronger side in last nights match yet you've jumped to a conclusion that i have. I said you have better reserves and better youth players than Liverpool, which overall you do.

Haha, you need to have a rethink about that, it's hardly likely to put any kind of dent in his future. You seem amazingly happy about winning a quarter final against a reserve side in a 2nd rate cup competition. But i guess simple things please simple people, the way you carry on anyone would think you've just won the league or something.

seems someone agreed with what i said... "when you win... you over-praise your team..."

and would you ever see which ever team you support win Liverpool 6-3? Be it reserved or even kids playing, losing is losing.

A friend of mine told me a joke about the match which made me laugh ...

Did you hear Michael Jackson has asked Benitez to be his new manager, so
he can get spanked at home by eleven kids.


highly inappropriate, but it's only a game

lol.yeh i heard that one

Did u guys see the matches played b/w Arsenal ad Liverpool at Anfield recently??????????? Man o man it was goals every where.
Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal in the FA Cup
Liverpool 3-6 Arsenal in the Carling Cup
The ironic thing abt those embaracing results for Liverpool was that it wasnt against a world class side like AC milan, Juve, Inter Milan, Lyon, Chelsea or Bayern Munich. It was against Arsenal . I just wonder how would we (Milan fans) would feel if we thrashed like that twice in a couple of day??????
Anyway I was so happy to see that Anfield crowd crying. It really made me feel better . I thought I would never say it but Forza Arsenal, keep that up becoz u would visit Anfield once more in a league match this season. I hope the result would be
Liverpool 0-9 Arsenal

Not a world class team? Stick 2 supporting Peshawar Donkey Riders FC

Yes .They way u guys play really makes a true football lover feel sick . Plus when I look at ur squad its looks more like a school than a football team with all those under age kids playing.

He wants to play for England from what i've read (as a fellow midlander i get the benefit of all the local news), Nigeria tried to call him up but he went into the England U-21s squad instead. I think FIFA have changed the rules now so that he can change his mind even if he has already played for England

He should stick with us though, Nigeria will find it tough to qualify for the World Cup, at least with England he gets an almost guarenteed trip to vthe quarter finals, where we make our usual glorious shoot out exit

As for Ameobi and Fashanu, Fashanu was crap and not having him availble for your side was a blessing Ameobi is uncapped though and could still play for Nigeria if he cant get in the England team, which to be honest looks very unlikely. he aint particularly good either though. Stick with Martins and the young Roma lad...

Don't make me start boasting about how good Nigeria NT is, we were unfortunate to crash against crappy team Angola who played ****e in WC, but am sure this time around we will reach semi final in the Next WC in our continent soul and am sure we will have an upper edge over England due to advantages besides i am very sure we have what it takes to beat Engalnd hehe
