I feel for you dude.
Speaking to an Arsenal fan, I cannot hold back from saying that Wenger has to go.
Arsenal will now be ranked 4th amongst English teams having Chelsea Liverpool and Man Utd progressing further in the Champions league.
Thats the kinda thing I was tryna explain earlier in this thread.
The Premiership does not hold much weight at all.
If you're are a true fan of Arsenal, you must entertain the idea of Arsenal without Wenger.

See the thing is that I don't much care about the rankings you use. They're for guys like you who make money on the games, and that is cool, but it doesn't matter at the supporter level. I would rather have Arsenal rank 4th on your list every year for the next 100 and play the entertaining style they do if the other option is to be number 1 and play boring percentage ball like Chelsea. Of course, I'd like to see them ranked #1 AND playing the entertaining style they do and I believe they will.

Before the season began everyone wrote them off as a team of too young nobody's. They surprised us all by making it to within 2 minutes and a piss poor referee decision of making the semifinals of the CL and they sat atop the Premier League for most of the season. At the end the squad was just too thin to cover for the injuries.

Van Persie has missed all but 10 games of the season with injury
Rosicky the same
Eduardo broken leg

Those three should have been the top scorers for the season.

Fabergas, Flamini,Hleb, Diaby, Sagna, Gallas, Toure have all had extended absences due to injury. That is 10 of the starting 11. Chelsea or Manchester United would also be in trouble if they dealt with that.

Wenger must stay. A few players must go and a few need to be bought. There's always next year.

Its not my rankings.
Its Europe's rankings.
The Champions league winner is the #1 ranked team in Europe. Period.
The Finalist would be #2, and so fourth.

If PSV won the CL, they would be the #1 ranked team in Europe, and respectivly in Holland.
Even if PSV were to be relegated in their local competition, they would clearly and undoubtably be ranked Holland's #1 team.
The same applies for Italy, England, Germany, Spain, etc etc.

We'll use this year as a scenario...

Say Liverpool beats Man Utd in the Champions league final.

The rankings for English teams would be:

1)Liverpool (Ranked #1 in Europe)
2)Man Utd (Ranked #2 in Europe)
3)Chelsea (Ranked in top 4 in Europe)
4)Arsenal (Ranked in top 8 in Europe)

There are no opinions in rankings.
They are what they are.

[W.HI.P]

Englands teams can only match what Italian teams achieved, having both Champion league finalists, and 3 of the 4 semi-finalists.
All this of course, in a rare year where Italy's Queen Juventus is not in the competition
..... She shall return to her throne.

[lookout123]

Sure she will. She just couldn't buy it this year.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Campionato

Juventus vs AC.Milan

It might take a litle while for you to get used to it, but Juventus is superior to Milan.
At home, they should win.

Bet on Juventus = 2.20

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Premiership

Liverpool vs Blackburn

Blackburn is really one of the best teams in England!
It took them this year to gel....watch out for them next year!
Liverpool is concentrating on more serious things than this silly competition.

Bet on the draw = 3.80
Bet on the Blackburn win = 6.00

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Philadelphia Phillies vs Chicago Cubs

Its Hamels vs Lilly.
Hamels no doubt will become an absolute elite pitcher in the Major leagues. He's not there yet.
Low scoring game. The price is to die for.

Bet on the Chicago Cubs = 2.50

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seattle Mariners vs Los Angelos Angels

Its Silva against Garland.
I got to watch Garland this year, and I can say that the man is as safe a pitcher can be.
What can anyone say about this Angels line-up?

Bet on the Angels = 1.60

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins

I obviously would like Montreal to get through this in 4 games, but I cannot underestimate this Bruins team as I believe most are.
The price is too good to be true.

Bet on the Bruins = 2.70

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Washington Capitols vs Philadelphia Flyers

The Capitols are superior and should attempt to make this series as short as possible.

Bet on the Washington Capitlos = 1.50

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks

Huge differences here... San Jose should win this series out.

Bet on the San Jose Sharks = 1.85

This has generally not been my week, but that can all change pretty quickly. I won't be around till next week so let me throw some hints out there for you.

NHL
Can you believe the two best teams in hockey are underdogs in must win games tonight?

Anaheim Ducks @ Dallas Stars

Bet on the Anaheim Ducks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Jose Sharks @ Calgary Flames

Bet on the San Jose Sharks

MLB

These games are for tommorow (Wednesday)

LA Dodgers vs Pittsburgh Pirates

B.Penny vs P.Maholm.
Penny is elite and should start pitching his gems.

Bet on the LA Dodgers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Kansas City Royals

Jered Weaver vs G.Meche
One could surely argue with conviction that Meche is an ace.
And he is, no doubt about it, The Royals have an amazing #1 SP.
With Escobar and Lackey still on the DL, Jered Weaver is the Angels #1, although Saunders is making a strong case with his 2-0 record, his 1.27 ERA and 0.94 WHIP.
Jered Weaver IMO, is the Angels #1 for years to come.
His style of throw reminds me of the consistent elite in the game.

Bet on The LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland A's vs Tampa Bay Rays

J.Blanton vs J.Shields
WIth Kazmir on the DL, J.Shields is the Rays #1 SP.
Shields has pitched great this year, matching expectations.
The Rays line-up is impossible to blank!
You'll get a great price on this as the Rays will be the underdog.

Bet on the Rays
