Hey Peter, me and a couple of United friends on the site are doing a podcast. I would like to know if you are willing to share your knowledge on Arsenal for our Arsenal themed episode. We are trying to understand clubs on a whole from the respective fans' point of view, and not make it only about United. So please, if you can, meebo me or leave a message on my wall to let me know if you plan to work with us! It will greatly be appreciated!

2cool votes for you Peter. Hopefully we can turn the tie around and give you that deserved holiday  

I think it's still possible for Madrid to overturn the result, Mourinho got his tactics wrong and probably won't a second time. The thing is, Bayern have a physical edge vs Barca which is why they will win. But against Madrid Bayern's physical edge is negated and it becomes a close battle, one where I believe Madrid would have the edge via mentality, which is why I said Madrid would win it. I expected a Bayern vs Madrid final. However Dortmund have gone up a gear since that near miss vs Malaga, the only thing I question is the mentality of the team when it comes crunch time. They're still a very young side in the Champions League and could still fall apart in the second match. Since I support them, I hope they win the whole thing!

Hey buddy Read your reply about the debate Cloudst and I had, boy was that fun, about 2 hours on skype

Agreed on Chamberlain, potential but far too raw for the responsibility. Sadly though Rosicky old or not, has done more in the CAM position for Arsenal lately than Cazorla has. Cazorla does not do well when teams mark him closely, out on the wing, he has more freedom and time to pick a pass or make a dribbling run. Plus he's statistically the best crosser on the team, at Malaga he was a beast at right wing. He also does not make the same cutting passes that Rosicky does, his passing style is more long passes, like switching wings etc.

This is just my own opinion and it's the suggestion that won the debate with Cloudst I would like to see a 4-4-1-1. Given that Walcott wants to play striker and can't create chances by himself, I want to try Giroud behind him as a secondary striker and play with no CAM. Giroud simply plays deep, he runs back and involves himself from the center forward position anyway. Think of those lovely flick ons and layoffs Giroud manages, he's more of a provider than a scorer, his assists tally shows that. He also wins about 85% of his aerial duels so he'd be great for feeding Walcott who is arguably the best finisher on our team and has the speed to get in behind and worry the back 4.

The added bonus is that we'd finally have some decent crosses for Giroud to get on the end of, it's ridiculous that one of the biggest aerial threats in the league has about 3 headed goals because the crosses never reach him. Also, it's time to unleash Jenkinson and start letting him make the Right back position all his, he offers a much better attacking threat than Sagna and is learning fast in defence.

------------------Tex/Fabby
Jenkinson--Mertesacker--Koscielny--Gibbs/Monreal
Cazorla----Arteta-----Wilshere/Ramsey--------Podolski
------------------------Giroud
--------------------Walcott

Obviously this is for next season when Podolski's fit again. Monreal or Gibbs is a tough one and depends more on the opposition. Monreal is better defensively, Gibbs links up better with Podolski. Wilshere to rotate with Ramsey again depending on the situation. Wilshere offers better drive and is ideal for pushing early in a match, Ramsey offers calmness and consolidation, plus a good counter-attacking option.

I'm totally smashing you on the Gooner's Predictofooty league!
