Wow...Arsenal scores equalizer in the 90th

Arsenal played horribly. Almunia has got to go, he is not a top-flight keeper.

Dont the Gunners have an up and comer GK in the ranks?

I hate Liverpool. Good to get a draw after all that mess.

Fabianski is a good shot-stopper but isn't a good all-around keeper, so essentially Alumnia Jr. We also have a few other guys like Mannone and I think there's another young Pole but none of them are going to be World-Class.

I still wish Wenger had gone out and payed the money for Akinfeev, he is truly a World-Class keeper and will be for the next decade probably.

I agree, very good to see us escape with a point. Especially against Liverpool. I was hoping for another Arshavin wonder-game but oh well.

The Pole is supposed to be the business but hes not ready ... just buy an experienced keeper that can handle a cross or corner kick.

Im really sick of Almunia.

I wish.

Pretty sure I could take an entire soccer team, one measly slap at a time.

Barca with their full team destroyed Sevilla. They were still missing a few starters.

BARCA will rule the la liga in 2010-2011
