mancity gonna win their fa cup. where are we?

i dont know bro. i am just...heart broken. really no one to blame but our players. we are lack of good finisher. No idea why Wenger sub Bendtner instead of Chamakh. Ben was useless throwing all the balls.

Maybe they need our blessing to win cup

+1. this is the policy which forces henry and others to leave

Shoud Cesc to be sold?
Opinion, debate guys

Added on April 19, 2011, 3:41 pmActually I was quite impressed with Eboue against liverpool. He outrun the Liverpool backline. He is the closest penetrator to Theo. The rest are not as pacey as them.
Well, different between Sagna and Eboue.
Sagna is better in air while Eboue is good in penetrating.
Eboue is attacking minded. Lost the ball under his feet sometimes but Sagna plays safe

Pity after putting so much in this match and screwed up everything.
He should be kept for rotation purpose.
Bendtner wise, Wenger will know what to do then..

Keeper wise, is better to train the youngster now playing Lehmann. You field Lehmann, the youngsters do not learn

Cesc Fabregas says Arsenal lack winning mentality

Fabregas says Wenger would be under more pressure to win trophies in Spain
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says a lack of a winning mentality has led to the club's trophy drought since 2005.

The 23-year-old also believes manager Arsene Wenger would probably have lost his job if he was a coach in Spain.

"For me, it's a lack of a winning mentality, also of maturity in key moments. We have plenty of quality but lack this bit of confidence," he said.

The Gunners face Tottenham on Wednesday in what is a make-or-break fixture for their Premier League title ambitions.

Any result other than a victory for Wenger's side at White Hart Lane is likely to confirm a sixth straight season without silverware.

Fabregas told Spanish magazine Don Balon: "From 2007 I had already started saying we're not winning, but we're playing well. And then you realise that's no use.

There will be a moment when you have to decide to take the next step - to win or not to win.
Cesc Fabregas
"The problem is that the team needs to win something and that's why it was so important to win the Carling Cup [they lost 2-1 to Birmingham in the final].

"You have to make a decision: either go and win, or develop players."

Arsenal's 2-1 defeat by Birmingham in the Carling Cup final at Wembley began a spell in which the Gunners went out of the Champions League to Barcelona, exited the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester United and lost significant ground in the Premier League title race.

And Fabregas believes Arsenal boss Wenger would have faced increased pressure in Spain to produce trophies.

He continued: "It's clear that if you come to Spain and say to [Unai] Emery [the Valencia manager], [Pep] Guardiola or [Jose] Mourinho that they'll win nothing in the next three years, it's obvious they wouldn't continue [in their jobs].

"But here it's different. The boss is an intelligent person and the club values other things: that the team is always in the Champions League, that it fights until the end, that it brings young players through, the economic stability.

Fabregas and Van Persie won the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2005
"I suppose for the board that's important, although I imagine there will be a moment when you have to decide to take the next step - to win or not to win."

Fabregas spoke of a marked contrast between the current Arsenal side and the 'Invincibles' of the 2003-04 Premier League season, who went throughout the entire league campaign unbeaten.

"The 'Invincibles' knew how to win games, when to dig in, when to attack," he said. "They had a special intelligence to read games.

"Now we are very young - Robin van Persie has won an FA Cup as I have but there's no more trophy winners."

Fabregas, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona on a free transfer in 2003, also talked about his own future.

"You have to have patience with things and wait for the right moment," he said. "The day that I leave Arsenal I will do it with my head.

"As well as that, who can be sure that you are going to play in a new team? Here I have the great fortune that at a personal level, despite not having won much, I'm doing very well."

If some day I do leave Arsenal, it will never be to sign for another English team
Cesc Fabregas
There was speculation in the summer of 2010 he would return to Barcelona and a bid for Fabregas of about £30m from the Spanish champions was turned down.

But the Arsenal skipper remained at the Emirates and is contracted to the club until 2014.

"I spoke with [Barcelona captain Carles] Puyol and he told me that at 26 he hadn't won anything - he has now won everything in the football world," Fabregas added. "Patience and hard work are the most important things in life.

"If some day I do leave Arsenal, it will never be to sign for another English team."

Finally the capitan speaks. If that is from Puyol, I guess that is the best advice I head from the Barca players

+1. We don't want them to disturb us. And we might also not to disturb them

Spurs are so determine. Not even Cesc can defend the ball. Its gonna be a very bloody fight but we just need the god damn bloody 3 point!!!

There is another jinx team ahead. Bolton Wan

there are a lot of come back from opponent this season. As a lesson, next season will be harder for the team as no team feared us as it used to be. They will attack even though they are trailing.

We simply do not deserve the title. Wenger gonna correct it this time. The title was lost during the draw against WBA.

but united has 6 points of cushion leh

+1. If really watch the previous few games, Diaby really played well after the rumors bust up with rvp. He was bossing around with the midfield. Only his attitude problem. He needs basic disiplines. I guess he is improving. One more season Wenger? Some 2nd string player like Rosicky will have to leave to make space for better player. We cannot afford to have weak 2nd string players.

I don't know what happen recently to Arsenal's defense. Don't seems to be organized to me. When Thomas and Sol was here, these things never happens. No vocal leader at the back four. I like Johan the most but after seeing him misplaced his position several times, I'd bet that nobody organized the back four properly.

Obviously we need some changes in the game, and we pay the price at the most painful moments everytime

Then are you saying that we should buy some English talent?
Nearest players come to my mind
Young, Adam,Cahill, Baines. One more thing is they don't come cheap. It's just not Wenger way

not actually luck but their determination is what our team lack of. Everytime Utd drop point, we drop as well. When we drop, people take advantage. sigh

Yea. They defend kao kao after 70th min. Knowing that Man Utd will on kao form the last 30 min especially last 10 min.

Yea. I guess this is the season we have all first 11 fit and healthy at the end of the season since I don't know when

Wenger did always complain the team cannot win cups due to long term injuries. This season well, exposed all the weakness of the team though we have our 11 healthy (not really fit all season).

The team obviously have some problem. The players are great players but they are no better team. Experience and depth quality and mentality and also tactical formation costed us the points dearly. Sometimes I do think some of our players are great talent but maybe it is the tactical and the football culture restricted us from playing beautiful football.

Wenger needs to do whatever to bring the best result for the team, fans and for the players themself.
He has a legacy to protect anyway.
He once says give him 7 years to prove his project. I guess next season will be much more deciding season than this season.

I just don't wish to see the team from heroes to zeroes every season.

+1 bro. I just love your statements and your passion. Gooner till the end!

no use. we want that next week at the emirates. we need only 3 points later. no more no less.

why must we concede. Our keeper is better than a lot of keeper in the league. at least almunia
