The first was tittyfu*cking good too

gosplan · 08-03-2009 02:58PM

Hmm, Eboue stay on, Vela come off.

Vela to start in Rome?

Edited to include: or maybe Theo?

Jesus I fell asleep during half time and missed the 2nd goal. What happened?

Eduardo volley with outside of left foot - sick finish, kind of Totti-esque.

Beau x1 · 08-03-2009 03:15PM

LMFAO EBOUE!!!!
I'm pleased for him. I had a feeling it'd be today.

DenMan · 08-03-2009 03:19PM

Well done Eboue. Lovely stuff. 3-0 to The Arsenal. Song has had a brilliant game today.

patrickc · 08-03-2009 03:26PM

rosiscky and fabregas set to return in 3 weeks according to arsenal.com

+1

Gibbs was very good too. Whatever about what Traore chooses to do, I think I'd almost choose Gibbs ahead of him to cover LB.

Home against Chelsea in the semi's if we beat Hull.

Would have preferred Everton but happy it won't be United

Royale with Cheese · 08-03-2009 07:29PM

The semis are played on a neutral ground aren't they?

Sure are. Both will be played at Wembley Stadium, which in a way takes away the feel of making the final there.

Wish they still played them in Cardiff.

It'd definitely make more sense to have the Everton - United semi in Cardiff.

True,but loved having the semis and finals in Cardiff,made for a great weekend,location of the stadium makes it great for matches.

I'm sure there'll be a sizeable contingent coming from London.

Just got around to seeing highlights now, three quality goals, delighted for the three goalscorers also. Hopefully that'll instill a bit more confidence in front of goal in the team, could be in for a great end to the season if it does.

Pepe LeFrits · 08-03-2009 09:11PM

Madness.

Im_No_Superman · 08-03-2009 09:19PM

Great picture. Absolute belter of a goal.

GuanYin · 08-03-2009 09:34PM

Vela's goal - Pure individual brilliance
Eduardo's goal - Pure technical brilliance.
Eboue' goal - Pure team play brilliance.

Does anyone think that Vela plays much better when Eduardo is in the Arsenal team? Do they have a history playing together?

PHB · 08-03-2009 09:37PM

I hate the fact that the finals are in Wembley. I think it should be a special thing for the final. Have the finals in Cardiff and Old Trafford or something. It's rough to have a road to Wembley when you get there in the semis. Why not have the quarters there too?

I was thinking this as well. He seems to get more return playing with Eduardo rather than Bendtner.
They definitely do look like a very good partnership if they can find game time to play together

They do seem quite close alright. Their understanding is quite impressive.

Speaking of understanding, I thought Arshavin and Walcott combined really well today. It reminded me of the old Bergkamp & Ljungberg combination. Arshavin's vision and passing is sensational, and Walcott's off the ball running will really benefit methinks...

I think arsenal have a very good chance of a double this season.

PP have arsenal at 50-1 to do the fa-cup and CL

thats not bad bet, specially with all the great players coming back from injury

Im tempted

No doubt Vela and Eduardo combined well yesterday but in fairness, Bendtner and Vela were great together pre-season and against Sheffield United in the Carling Cup so they seem to have a decent understanding too.

I think Vela's probably looked most lost when he's been fecked on with the rest of the pure first-teamers (Ade, Nasri and RVP) which is slightly worrying - while he's looked lively, it's been on an individual, run-at-them basis rather than as part of the team. But as Wenger feeds him into the first team over time, I'm sure that'll come.

That's natural. He hasn't played with them nearly as much as the reserves/fringe players. That sort of familiarity should come in time (seems to be on its way).

GuanYin · 09-03-2009 10:24PM

I have watched his movement in some Mexico games...(I'm actually gonna go see the Mexico V Bolivia exhibition game and I'm bummed he doesn't seem to be in the squad) .... of all the players I've watched recently he is the player I'd least like to play against, his control and pace are amazing.

I know, me and Kaka were talking about that a few weeks ago when he played in my five a side team against Messi and Cambiasso. :pac::pac:

For those that didn't see the goals

Amazing goal by eduardo. How'd he get that much power behind it with it coming off the outside of his left heel?
