This is the big one! The last time we face Real Madrid at home it was probably the best 0-0 draw ever at Highbury.. Hopefully this will have all the excitement plus some more goals.

more intensity with the senior squad,but again lacking up front in the 1st half.
can anybody shoot ffs?????
nothing but high balls in for Ade whos missed a couple.
& Real look average.
lets hope we pick it up a bit in the 2nd half.

after the summer he's had, he should be keeping a low profile, not doing meaningless gestures like kissing the badge.

No one is buying it. If ade had kissed his wallet it would at least be believable :roll:

diaby was awful, hope arsene isn't thinking of giving him the full time slot next to cesq, season would be a write off if so. can't tackle, pass, lazy. :s_dunno

^^ agree about Diaby ..... his tackling is awful to say the least .... Ade made some good runs and did ome good work but I agree he is trying TOO hard ....

anyways I was a "LITTLE" disappointed that we couldnt score a goal from open play even once on our home ground .... but it has given players like RVP, Ade, Gallas, Nasri etc good run and hopoefully they will be better in a few days ...

One last comment about Wilshere ... he was very good and clearly unfazed about the opposition .. you can see the confidence on his face ... I am sure he will pay more than in the CC .. now that we have 7 subs on the bench he will be on te bench quite often ....

Amsterdam tourney next ....

Great PK from Ade, and a good win for our squad. Beating the Spanish champions is never exactly a walk in the park.

diaby was awful. denilson wasn't much better.. walcott doesn't looks to good either.. but well sagna look very good i have to say.. lastly eboue suck big time, can we get rid of him came in during second half and all he earns is a yellow card on a reckless tackle.. well well.. we can't even score a open play goal in 2 home match.. hope things turn out better soon.

yup i agree it is the time to screw up.. but they have to also show some sign of improvement if they wants to takes up the space left by flamini which imo they didn't... and imo eboue is the worst player we have in our first team squad. please prove me wrong i hope.
