So glad he is doing better.

And so glad we are back where we belong above Spurs!

Bad news about Stiliyan Petrov having leukaemia!

Hope he has a full recovery asap!

by **Lehmann** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 9:22 am

Yeah, so sad news. :-?

Wish the best for him, may God help him! Good to see he's not giving up. :-?

Very sad but he seems strong willed so that's good...great to see him at the game Saturday. Looking at him you wouldn't think he had such a serious illness.

Great to see Muamba smilling again!

RIP Morosini.

This is happening too often in football now days...

So much drama - we can't settle for fourth in case Chelsea pull off the Champions League win... however Spurs losing yesterday was a big result for us, as Newcastle have a tough run in..

Come on you Gunners!

Stoke next and the only time we have beaten them away in recent years was when Ramsey broke his leg. Arteta and Walcott are big losses now.

We wouldn't settle for 4th anyway even if Chelsea were out the Champions League, it would be two extra games we really don't need this time...Newcastle do have a tough run in but don't count them out especially at this stage of the season...

Wow.... what a result for us against Barca tonight! Amazing game - it had drama, excitement, the lot! 2 great finishes from Ramires and Torres too. So proud of the way we dug in, especially when down to 10 men and with a makeshift defence.

Good to see Robin van Persie getting PFA Player of the Year!!

Great win for Chelsea last night against Barca, shame Terry couldn't control himself! and it's a shame they go to the final with a depleted squad.

Looking forward to Man City v Man Utd on Monday..

What a great season we have had this season!!

Poor Real Madrid

Geoff Shreeves has just told Ronaldo he should have hit the penalty to the other side of the goalkeeper.

The results last night as two away games for Spurs and Newcastle, against tough opposition, was awful news for Arsenal fans.

It's in our own hands now. The last day of the season may be pretty tough. We desperately need City to be hungry and do over Newcastle, and somehow for Villa to take points off Spurs, while we secure what MUST be victory against Norwich.

Very happy with our FA Cup win! Drogba really does enjoy playing at Wembley!

by **king_oxymoron** » Mon May 07, 2012 4:08 pm

We were very lucky at the weekend with the results from Villa and City... still not job done though which is annoying.

In all fairness to Norwich, they had a decent penalty shout early on (so did we) and we maybe should have had a player or even two sent off. But that shove on RvP at the end was ridiculous, we should have sorted third by now. I'm nervous.

by **nas** » Mon May 07, 2012 9:59 pm

We haven't won a league game yet this season when Arteta hasn't played...I'm nervous as well. I just saw his stats on Sky, he's the best passer in the premiership this season.

by **king_oxymoron** » Sun May 13, 2012 4:35 pm

Artet-who? Scrappy, gifted goals but who cares when we won? Happy St Totteringham's Day one and all!
Now come on Chelsea!

I am at work and watched the Arsenal game (shaking) until the last minute then heard a massive roar and turned over as City slotted in their winning goal.

What. A. Day. DELIGHTED!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to Arsenal, congrats to City, gutted to Spurs and United, and happy QPR didn't suffer...

by **Spartan** » Sun May 13, 2012 8:30 pm

Very pleased for City to win the league! Glad QPR stayed up too.

by **SeeForever** » Sun May 13, 2012 11:54 pm

I'm no City fan but nice to see someone else win the league for a change!! Though the title does stay in Manchester

As for Joey Barton that kick on Aguero was just disgraceful he'll get a long ban for that

by **Ferris** » Mon May 14, 2012 9:56 am

Wow, what a finish to the league! Has been funny seeing Man U blow an 8 point lead! Talk about a slap in the face for their gloating fans who thought they had it sewn up a few games ago! :lol:

by **steophonic** » Mon May 14, 2012 10:30 pm

Seriously unbelievable. The best closing day in history... I actually shouted when City scored and I don't even support them.

As a Liverpool fan, it's always good to see Fergie disappointed.

Although our own season has been awful. £150 million spent and worst league position in years with Everton finishing above us. Something has to give...

Nah, Arsenal in 89 was the best finish in football history...but seeing as you're a liverpool fan I can see why you think differently. :wink:

Somehow I've wiped that from my memory!

So King Kenny is gone. I have mixed feelings about the decision, although on balance I think it may be the right decision.

Seems like AVB is the new favourite to replace him with Martinez and Benitez (probably linked himself to the job). I think the next manager needs to be appointed for the long haul.

Talking about new managers, Alex McLeish had a 'mare of a season. He's awful. Villa had a lucky escape this season!

by **nas** » Thu May 17, 2012 4:39 am

I find Kenny really annoying but I think getting rid of him is a mistake. He should have be allowed to see how Liverpool got on next season up until January at least. From what I've seen this season in home games Liverpool have been really unlucky, they created so many chances but just didn't seem to have the player to stick the ball in the net. Yes he has wasted money and bought some crap players but I expected them to improve next season under him. He wouldn't have got the sack if they won the FA Cup final.
