An Arsenal comeback maybe? Or will it be Big Sam's Bolton?

I'd love it if Spurs could get it but i'm really not too hopeful . . . difficult run in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_ed Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 The race for Europe is heating up and it's a lot tighter than I expected. Wigan woiuld be in it too if they didn't encounter such bad fixture in Xmas. Those 5 losses just crushed them, poor buggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmilan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If you guys were going to place a bet on who get's the fourth spot who would it be? I'd say say Tottenham, they are a very exciting team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs traditionally value 'pretty football' over results so I'd hope that we're a little exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Of all English teams, whoever would've expected Arsenal to be the only team in the Champions' League at the moment Ironic Ya I know I really expected Madrid to beat them but Madrid is just horrible Maybe it's the manager. Maybe he's not suited to the European game? or maybe it's Arsenal playing a clever football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouazizi Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 yes, Arsenal the second French only "English" team through Well, it's true.

Maybe he's not suited to the European game? or maybe it's Arsenal playing a clever football? Wenger's tactics are more often naive than they are smart, but you never know, he did seem to play some good tactics this time around Then again, it's easier to play their style of football against a Madrid side that has a poor defense and gives them space, instead of the pressing and fast-paced game of the Premiership, where their midfield gets closed down rather quickly. For example, everyone is head over heels about how good Fabregas is. He doesn't stand out in England because he doesn't get enough time to do anything with the ball. Madrid never closed him down. They let him run the show for Arsenal in the midfield. But credit to Arsenal. The first leg was the best defensive display I've ever seen them play.
