Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well the Arsenal fans sure were milking the comments yesterday and today. I don't think it will ever be 'over' for them! Well, it's the only thing they can do. Seriously, Arsenal fans are like ditched jealous ex-boyfriends watching their ex being happy and doing great with someone else. They just can't let go. Though it must hurt, considering that "someone else" is the guy who's bean beating them year after year. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Not at all the same thing. Jose said that the league and football in general has changed in the past decade and that there will never be another invincible. Cesc said that we are no where near the level of that Arsenal team. Very different.I know that both are trying to take the pressure off the team, but there is material there that can cause a lot of potential fuss (and get a lot of hits). Media doesn't usually miss out on that. 1. All this media chatter about the possibility of our team going unbeaten is self-serving drivel spewed by pathetic media types. They have newspapers or broadcast schedules to fill and that's the sole reason they write or speak about it. They don't believe it's actually going to happen any more than we do.2. Of all the reasons being given for why we won't go unbeaten the one which has, so far, been conspicuous by its absence is the fact that the 03/04 Arsenal team was indeed genuinely brilliant. Cesc is right to say that our side is not at their level and he deserves no criticism for speaking the truth. Daniel1980 and DYC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I don't get what's there to discuss either. So Cesc doesn't think we can be label invincibles. That's true. It's been only 8 matches through. There's no point to discuss this with another 30 matches to go... Also there was nothing wrong or eye catching in what he said. I don't get it.

I don't get it.Come on, there's nothing eye catching about the ex-Arsenal captain who just controversially moved to their rivals, Chelsea, saying that his current team cannot replicate his ex-team's best ever achievement? You really wanna say that the British sports media does not, and on a regular basis, make a huge fuss about much less than that just to get hits?

Popular Post! iseah100 5,612 Posted October 20, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted October 20, 2014 Talk of us matching the Invincibles should stop until we're 20 matches into the season. No point in even thinking about it till then. The Skipper, bababoom, Viper22 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If three years ago someone told me our fans would be signing this song, I would have thought that person was crazy. By the way, are we going to keep using this song for Cesc? Not sure how I feel about stealing Arsenal's song. Though it is kind of hilariously appropriate and everyone knows it.

Joker10 946 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Will be interesting to see what the team is at Old Trafford, the Matic and Cesc pivot (defensively) has improved a lot, however I think 4 3 3 might be the order of the day at the swamp.Stunning goal. I love it when players fool the keeper and score at the near post.Yeah, hopefully Ramires is back. I'd be worried about Di Maria's ability to burst past players with the ball in central areas and that could cause us problems. But beyond that I really don't think we have much to worry about.I hope not, this team we have played since Ramires injury is our best XI and most balanced. Beside why bench arguably our best player in the last 3-4 games in Oscar in favor a player just returning from injury.

Ramires on the wing, moving to form 4-3-3 most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker10 946 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Has become our most important player this seasonNah I would argue Matic is our most important player. I think his influence is much harder to replace, I think we can do without cesc influence for a patch of games due to players like Hazard and Oscar. But no doubt we are much better team with Cesc.

He is less mobile but he can play that holding midfielder.Without Fabregas we are back to last season, no creativity in the midfield no passer stroey and Atlas Lion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Mourinho: Now I know why Fabregas was Arsenal captainCan't watch the video at the moment. What does Jose say?Edit: Never mind, found it:Speaking to ITV Mourinho said “Now I understand at the age of 19,20,21 he was Arsenal captain, now I can understand that, He is not the captain here because here we have a different philosophy of big guys who have had many years at the club but his personality and profile are fantastic.” Edited October 21, 2014 by Daniel1980 mediator, Barbara and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 This must be signing of the summer already! Glorious player (plz don't fall off in january ), everything clicks and his influence is contagious. I love you Cesc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 22, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted October 22, 2014 Can easily see Cesc becoming captain after JT, as funny as that sounds. Cholo, mediator, CHOULO19 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholo 428 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Can't see any reason why his performances should drop suddenly. He got a coach who is maybe the most demanding in the world and he won't be able to afford such a drop in performances. Unlike Wenger, Mourinho would never let him get away with it.
