Guest 70400 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 if Ar senal do win the CL how would you feel? Now Matty is just happy to see Juve out, but how would feel if Thierry is holding the cup with the big ears in Paris in two months time.
R A Softlad Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 As a parting gesture that would be nice for him. It wouldn't bother me either way to be honest. It's good for English footy (if you can call the gooners 'English') and it breaks their Euro duck. Still can't see it happening though. It's Barca's year. [mockers]
Extraordinary Swindle Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Once we were out of the competition I didn't mind who was going to win it so long as it wasn't Chelsea and thankfully Barca saw to that. One thing for sure is that Liverpool and Arsenal winning it in successive seasons would piss off the Chelsea brigade and that's not a bad thing. They can buy the league but not the European Cup.
Scally the Wag Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Probably the only other PL team I could have accepted winning it... I mean, think Chelsea, Man U & Everton! I also don't think they will though. The game in Turin, without Vieirra is going to be more difficult for Wenger to suss out, so I reckon Matty might have a sleepless night yet... Semi-final is their limit.
Koogan Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 One thing for sure is that Liverpool and Arsenal winning it in successive seasons would piss off the Chelsea brigade and that's not a bad thing. They can buy the league but not the European Cup. It would also piss off the other lot immensely...
Phil M (ET Crew) Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I'm about as un patriotic as they come when it comes to other English teams in Europe. All I want to see is Liverpool flying the flag for England and all other English clubs, regardless of who they are, exit Europe as quickly as possible. (I know this would affect Englands UEFA coefficient etc but I couldn't give a damn as long as Liverpool are in the CL each year) As far as remaining teams go, I'll be rooting for Ged and Lyon, failing that Barca.
Sir Tokyo Sexwale Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 not overly bothered. Would prefer them not to, but it wouldn't do me in if they did - as ManUre/Chelsea would. Don't have any strong feelings for/against any of the teams left, would prefer one of the underdogs - Benfica/Lyon - Barca NOT winning it would be funny, but I quite like them. Inter are a bunch of c**** who robbed Shankly of an ECF by bribing the ref, so they can go & f***
G Richards Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 If it does not have an adverse effect on us then I'd be happy for them to win it. If we finish second in the league and they win CL, we have to go into a pre-qualifier becasue they would take our automatic spot (which is what should have happened last year when we won it). In those circumstances I don't want them to win. If we slip to fourth in the league and Arsenal finish fifth, and they win the CL, we would be bumped into next year's UEFA Cup, so I definitely do not want them to win it. In all likelihood we will finish third in the league, so on that basis I would not be upset if Arsenal won the European Cup. If it meant Man Utd had to cut their holiday short and come back for a CL qualifier then that would be quite funny. I think Barca will win it btw.
Bootle Buck Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I'm pulling for Villareal or Benfica. That would really piss the big boys off if the last three winners of the CL were Porto, us and Villareal. It would also be nice to keep our CL victory fresh in the minds of everyone. If the @rse win it the media would quickly forget Istanbul.
meepins Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 *mockers alert ..said it before and I'll say it again, Arsenal haven't a hope.
Gunga Din Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 i'd prefer them not too. but if they did, fair play to them. plus it would really really piss off the Mancs and Chelsea
Sir Tokyo Sexwale Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 yeah, but could you imagine: "...In gay Paree, we won it one time..." and ..."Champions of Europe..." all of next season?
Gunga Din Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 yeah, but could you imagine: "...In gay Paree, we won it one time..." and ..."Champions of Europe..."all of next season? like i said, good luck to them. it wont happen though
Sir Tokyo Sexwale Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 sssssssssshhhhhhhh - the mockers will hear you
Guest RedLegend Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Don't mind Arsenal generally but I hope they get pumped out asap.
fyds Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Not that bothered - as it would annoy the Chavs and Mancs more than us - I would rather Barca won it though.
Rimbeux Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 For their ambition in the football they keep playing, and trying to play, I'd be pleased for them, but Wenger annoyed me last year, trying to belittle the value of the Champions league, what's he saying now?
Kvarme Ate My Food Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I'd rather they didn't win it, simply because I'd be jealous
Paul B Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I've just seen the highlights of the Arsenal game and they were sublime. This is the reason people watch football and why it is so great. Arsenal would make worthy Champions and we should all take our hats off to them if they do it just like we wanted universal admiration last season. In fact, the comparisons between them now and us then are numerous. I'll certainly be supporting them in the Champ's League. It would be good for football.
psl Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Henry is incredible. The way he put the ball in the top corner with consumate ease for his second goal yesterday was awesome. An Arsenal v Barca final could be pretty good...
George Costanza Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 i'll be wearing a Villareal shirt next. Thrown the Juve on in the bin now. That should sum it up. Hate the c****.
Spike Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Have a lot of time for Arsenal, and although I'd much prefer a foreign team win it until we claim number 6 I'd be delighted for them, if only because of the quality of football they played during that unbeaten season. Plus I'd love the Voyeur to win it to shut that moaning c*** from kings road up.
Falconhoof Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Mixed feelings. I have great admiration for Wenger. A European cup win would put him on a par with Slur Alex and I can imagine that riling the drunkard. The overiding thing is LFC supremacy and I don't want another English team to ever get even a tiny step closer to it.
