The Beautiful Game
Following last Sundays goal fest, the Gunners have to be the most pleasing team to watch...and they will get better. Arshavin will become as good as Ronaldo and Messi
Discuss.

Think back to last year. the Barcelona team that beat Bayern Munich were superb, their passing rubbish was out of this world. That Barcelona team would have stuffed Arsenal. Think of the opposition you played against last sunday, hardly one of the top premier teams. Score those amount of goals against manure and yes that would be a pleasure to watch.

Certainly the best team ever for choking in 95/96. KK was a real amateur when it came to playing mind games with Sir Alex

On good days when the weather is warm and the conditions favourable there is no doubt they are a good team.
But will they show the usual lack of bottle we see every year of late from the Arse, when the going gets tough will they crack? Taking apart a weak Blackburn side at the Emirates may be OK - but will they have the bottle for a cold windy day at the Bear pit again, with Rory's rockets causing mayhem! We will see! |

Which brings to mind a question that will no doubt have this thread running for a long time.
Whats the best team you have ever seen, either club or international. My own thoughts hark back to Mexico in 1970 and that fantastic Brazilian side in the World Cup. I agree with my learned friend of course about the Newcastle side of 92-97. Even the most biased of supporters had to agree that their attacking flair was wonderful to watch. |

Best club side was the Gunners during the Invincibles season...Henry, Viera, Pires, Bergkamp et al...need I say more Best goal has to be Maradona’s in 1986 when after picking up the ball in his own half he weaved through the entire English defence and found a wonderful angle past the keeper
