I congratulate you for your victory about us. This was the first time, that i have seen a complete match from Arsenal London. The speed, the fast passes at all was very impressive! Your players can bridgeover the midfield in a few seconds. Rosickys goal from a distance was amazing. Amazing again^^. Whether he plays for Dortmund or Arsenal - everytime he shoot such a wonder-goal in Hamburg. It is astounding.
It wondering me, why so much write so negative postings about van Persie. The question "was it a foul or not in the 10th minute" interested in a couple of days no one. Ok I knows that Englishmen are differently minded about divers as Germans, but in my eyes has our GK Kirschstein made the failure. His arms should be on his body and not on van Persies right foot. So its normal that van Persie falls down and the referee gives a penalty. The red card was to hard. A yellow card would be adequate.
At this time Arsenal dominates the game. My team tried to come back to the game over the fight, but Arsenal was to clarified. Up to the 85th minute we had a few chances to made a goal, but Arsenal had more and considerably better chances. It is a little wonder, that only Rosicky mades a goal.
For us its good, that we get an honour goal in the last 5 miutes of the game . I read that some critize your defence about that. But in my eyes it is normal, that an offensive opposing-team get some chances. That is about 90 minutes not to avert. And our striker Sanogo is a good goalgetter.
This is our 7th game in order without a victory. I hope that we can avoid a crisis. The headlines from the German newspapers sounds bad. "HSV get a training unit from Arsenal" and "Hamburg are the weakest German Championsleague team ever"^^
Nevertheless, we will see us again in Old Trafford. I hope that both teams will be in best form. Arsenal with Thierry Henry and we are with van der Vaart, Sorin and Atouba. I wish you in our Championsleague group good speed against Abramowitschs russian branch ZSKA Moskau (i dont like this oil milliardaire).
PS: My English is not so good. I hope you can understand my text.
Hruotland, thank you for your post. You were very impressed with the speed, passing and movement of the Arsenal players and thus surprised by so much negative comments in the forum even when Arsenal won away 2-1 in CL game.
You see, the Arsenal fans are spoilt by the high standards set in the previous seasons by a very experienced and matured team that gel together and have loads of luck in that exciting unbeaten 49 games streak. So, the fans are very impatient and critical.
I only hope Arsène Wenger stays after next season and he is the reason why so many talented youngsters are signing with Arsenal. He has the ability to nurture the unique talents of these players according to their abilities. He is unlike so many managers (and critics) who are one-trick ponies. Arsène knows that he will never try to produce a clone-Viera, a clone Bergkamp, a clone-TH14, etc but her will nurture an orginal Fabregas, an original Eboue, orginal RVP, etc.
This is reason why I know for sure Arsène will be able to continue to develop teams that I love watching instead of the no-risk boring square pass, etc.
