all fighting game matches are predictable in concept by the creators, and in this perspective players are operating the game in the way it was made to operate.
Just like in a normal
fighting game the match is over once a characters life meter runs out.

match.
OT: If Leicester scale through their next run of
games which I don't pray they do, then surely they are clear favourites... As for Arsenal, we have only Everton, spurs, ManU and West ham as tough away
matches, I do not include City... It seems we always do well when we are out of the UCL and
fighting for Top4..
In their last league
game against Manchester 1s, they won 71 - 62 in a closely
fought match down at Sugden.
We continued to
fight hard in the final minutes of the
game, but our opponents stood firm in defence, and the drab
game looked as if it would end with the boring final score that
matched the
game, but we managed to score in the final seconds of injury time.
The
match in question, sometimes referred to as the «Battle of the Bridge» for the
fighting that took place on and off the pitch, featured Chelsea overcoming a 2 - 0 deficit to tie the
game against Tottenham and deprive the Spurs of their last chance to stave off Leicester City in the Premier League title chase.
He will say, away
games are always tough and it was a close hard
fought match but we need to focus on the next
game.
and so far nothing bout our
match freaks me anymore, i care less because its not a
fight to be champions anymore, its a
fight to be followers and to get our top four trophy... I ai nt gonna stress me to watch Wenger do the same he does every year, I for one, our
matches will bore me if i watch... i wish the boys luck in the top four race... but my ass is gon seriously sit down for an Arsenal
game next season not this season anymore... Oh and for ya'll who celebrates St spurs day or whatever ya'll call, kiss that bragging right goodbye also...
Now the boss and players have almost two weeks before the next
game and they need to use it wisely because our next
match is away to Liverpool in the Premier League and that could be huge in the
fight for a top four finish, which is still very important.
Arsenal was given one of the weakest team in this CL competition.Everybody expected a win, like by big margin but the whole
match there was no
fight and desire.The
game was so poor at all front last night.City and Man Utd played their hearts out even though they were defeated.Man Utd players witnessed a horrific injury to their team mate, that will affect their focus and rhythm but they
fought with desire to win the
game till the end.City were the better team than Juventus, they played really good.I have even read an article on Sky that states even though Man utd and City is defeated they still can qualify the group stage, thats how their performance were reassuring.But Arsenal were really poor from starting the
game till end.Zagreb got their first win in CL since 1999, that says it all.
Arsenal were bad but not as bad as Hull and wolcott was useless throughout the
match yes he scored 2 beautiful goals and i am happy for him but beside his goals he was awful his corner kick were very bad most of his passes didn't come through he is a senior player i respect him for that but if he cant take corner kicks why take them I am glad he scored and I hope he will gain confidence and do better cause he is a senior player and an Arsenal player and will always support him but he got to do better for his own sake and ours I was very nervous trough the
game as we were losing players throughout the
game but well done Iwobi campbel and the big daddy12 and wollcott for the win and well done Arsenal for keeping it clean Its a big win for sure and very happy with it we need this
fighting spirit and goals to continue on to the end come on you Arsenal
But in two - hour
games over 10 furious days, hockey put aside money (not to mention
fighting, scrums after whistles and filibusters that masquerade as face - offs) in a series of compelling
matches that captivated a usually indifferent viewing public.
They were up 2 - 0 before ten minutes were up in the

Let leave Chelsea and City
fight it out with all their extra
games for this one while our plYers relax and get ready for BPL
match at weekend!
However we had a dog
fight against Leicester who are not a top team and my fear is Wenger will not improve his
game tactically to help the players
match the usual physical thing we will get at Stoke or the energy of Anfield.
While we were playing a hard
fought game for 120 minutes on an energy sapping Wembley pitch at the weekend, Leicester were able to put their feet up as they had no league

Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever
match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the
game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be
fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
Chelsea and Man Utd will be insanely tough, in the past, if we walked into those
matches with confidence and form we lacked

matches and they sit 15th in the table just above the relegation dog
fight and fans can safely assume that team will survive the drop easily after what was a very underwhelming season.
Arsenal took on Everton at Goodison Park in Saturdays's evening time kick - off and although the Gunners had a sloppy start to the
match conceding 2 goals before the break, they eventually came back from behind to salvage a hard
fought draw just 10 minutes before the end of regular time and Arsenal star — Mathiue Flamini in his post
match interview hailed the performance and
fighting spirit of his team in the
game but stressed the importance of their next
match against Besiktas on Wednesday.
