Arsenal - Flamini + Old Trafford = Disaster?

Arsenal’s influential French midfielder Mathieu Flamini could be out for the latest in a long line of ultra important games for the North London club. Flamini limped out of Arsenal’s Anfield jamboree and now he is a serious doubt for the Man Utd Premier League punchup at Old Trafford.
Without Flamini, Arsenal will have to rely on Brazilian midfielder Gilberto, who just so happened to offer up a tailor made quote for this slightly short, and very craptastic piece. Gilberto said:
“We cannot lose our belief now - let’s not forget we played a very good game at Anfield.
“Sometimes you learn more through the pain of defeat, although nobody likes losing the chance of making a Champions League final.
“And if there is a lesson, it must be that we have to concentrate to the very end.”
And in an utterly random and off piste point, have you ever realized how all Brazilian’s have cool names, but remove the vowel from their name and they turn into a motley crew of wierdo’s: Gilbert, Ronald, Dung, Edmund, the list goes on and on.

begeegs - April 10th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
quietly wonder if this is because of the lack of contract….

It’s going to be 5 in midfield:
Almunia, Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Clicy, Walcott, Hleb, Gilberto, Cesc, Diaby, Adebayor.
Van Persie, Bendtner, and Song to be used as subs

are arsenal so cheap that they can’t give the flamster what he deserves. I bet you all the players in his position in all the top clubs around the world are getting much more money than him. If we call ourselves a top club why can’t we do the same.

I find it hard to believe how fans can be so fickle …one minute singing the praises of adebayor then wanting him out. the truth is that we require 2 strong agile and quick centrebacks for cover, Forgive me if I’m wrong but neither djourou or senderos have great pace to recover bad situations.additional 2 wide men (midfielders)with strength and pace to work the flanks up and down has hard as clichy and sagna. and lastly a forward who can fill the role that adebayor plays to give the lad a breather. emmanuel must be shattered as his usual partner in crime isnt there due to a broken leg.
the team as its stand have a future with the following:
toure,clichy,sagna.fabregas,flamini,van persie,walcott,eduardo,hleb,adebayor,rosicky,diaby,…..these twelve have demonstrated the quality a t some stage this season to convince me that they are the back bone. I would add gallas if it was not for his age an inevitable demise in a few years. on the bench i would find it hard to replace these players and not feel that they were truly missed. strikes me that we need at least 6 more signings of true quality and the remaining 6 places should be left for what talent is coming through the reserves and youth ranks

Jrock Diaby is suspened and AW has already confirmed that V.Persie is going to start along with Gilberto

I’d like Song to start. GK Lehmann, Defence : Eboue, Gallas, Toure, Clichy. Midfield : Walcott, Fab, Song, Hleb. Up front : Ade, RVP (or Diaby if we play 4-5-1)

i rekon United will use the european 4-5-1 formation as well…..
the selection is tough though….but i think it will be
wes rio pique evra
ronaldo carrick scholes giggs
hargo
Rooney
thats tough on anderson and tevez though so who knows. also, i think carrick might have a calf probelm at the moment so maybe anderson will come in for him and hargo will play a more defensive position than he did on wed. I also personally wouldnt mind seeing rooney on the left with tevez leading the line up front, but i dont see giggs being dropped for this one. we’ll see. and no one prolly gives two fucks what i think and i just wasted my time writing all this…
