So we have 10 injured players, what a coincidence, Rosicky is injured again after we were told he’s back just two days ago and Bacary Sagna has personal problems, whatever that means.
I think we have the most injury prone players in the Premier league, you can’t tackle from behind, you can’t have your studs up, you can’t shoulder barge and you can’t thump people anymore, they even play on billiard table pitches, so how on earth do they get injured all the time?
We need to start signing players that are a little tougher, simple, this is ridiculous.
We will, I have no doubt field a full and fit compliment (minus full time crock RVP) all nicely ready for the plump Champions league tie against Milan, funny that eh!
We have a better chance of winning the FA Cup than the Champions league, but for whatever reason the boss doesn’t see it like that.
It saddens me because I think the spectacle of the FA cup is unmatched, the whole of Saturday, the TV coverage is amazing, the fans at the ground, everything, conversely the Champions league is played out on a Wednesday evening on one channel and that’s it.
The double has more cachet for me than the league or the European cup but we look like we are putting a side in that has no chance, the Carling cup semis all over again, very disappointing Arsene.
Onto the scandalous rise in season ticket prices, Pedro wanted me to talk this one through, we fail to see how they can justify it, we’ve spent nothing, income from TV has gone up significantly, we have over £70 million available to buy players, match revenue has tripled, and they don’t even pay dividends to shareholders, so why oh why do they need to put the prices up?
And we have to pay it up front in 2 weeks time, I think it’s nothing more than greedy pigs in the trough Arsenal, a greedy and shabby way to pay back the ‘full house every game’ fans.
Shame on you, and all this on the same day that we find out you are offering a staggering £33 million to a 20 year old, tied in to another 8 year contract that means absolutely nothing if the player wants out, as Thierry Henry so adeptly demonstrated. No reflection on you Cesc, we all love you but £33 million, what do the rest of the team think about that?
Some seriously good comments yesterday Grovers, committed to the cause and in your own way very romantic with late night activity blogs coming in from Bud, Odub and Mike, I hope your evenings ended well.
February 15, 2008 at 9:07 am
Well said.;one day greed will kill this game for sure as the”Managment ” beleive that in football you mesure success in terms of money;- really shame poor supporters week in in week out they are the suckers of this game called football
February 15, 2008 at 9:14 am
Glad to Senderos get some recognition:
The Senderos stats are (in the Prem this season)
Played 10 games, 6 goals conceded (0.60 goals/game), 4 points dropped (0.40 points dropped per game)
Didn’t play 16 games, 12 goals conceded (0.75 goals/game), 11 points dropped (0.69 points dropped per game).
2 goals scored, better than Toure, same as Hleb.
February 15, 2008 at 9:19 am
Doesnt the rule allowong players to walk apply only in the last year of a 4 yrs or the last 2 of a 5yr contract and is only available to players between the ages of 24-28, with the player having to buy out the remainder of his contract?
So we have him definitely until he is 26. Another 6 years of Cesc. Thank you. Add to that the 3 he has already completed and bang, money spinning testimonial. He wont go anywhere until he is 29-30, if he goes then
February 15, 2008 at 9:24 am
My season ticket price hasn’t even been announced yet and won’t have to be paid until 1st June so can’t really comment on that. I do agree however that we should play as strong a team as possible at Man Usa. They aren’t playing well of late and it would be a great opportunity to get to Wembley.
February 15, 2008 at 9:27 am
I’m not sure of the rule but TH14 gave us 1 out of a 4 year contract, so what was the point?
Secondly, it’s £33 million! it’s a ridiculous amount, especially considering that Flamini hasn’t signed a contract yet and he has played as well as Cesc this season.
February 15, 2008 at 9:30 am
Also, on the subject of Cesc. Have a look at other top clubs like Man Yoo and Chelsea and see how many players they have earning 100k plus per week. We are now in a position to compete financially with these teams and I personally think that getting Cesc on 80k per week on a long term contract is the way forward. Would you prefer the club paid him 80k for a 3 year deal so Barca can come in and nick him for a McDonald’s luncheon voucher in a year or 2? I admire their foresight and diligence by acting sooner rather than later.
February 15, 2008 at 9:35 am
“we will no doubt field a full compliment for the Uefa CL game”…oh yeah,really,so you have an insight into our injuries that no one else is privaledged to ie you are saying that the likes of Rosicky who has been anavailable for weeks(missing important Premiership games)will be named in the squad for Milan.You are also saying that Gael Clichy’s tight hamstring is a cover story and if he does play against Milan you will claim to “have told you so”……all I can say is Iam gald that we have Arsene running the ship who “knows”.
February 15, 2008 at 9:38 am
That’s fine if they don’t screw the fans to do it, take it out of the £70 mil transfer fund, not the fans who probably average £15k a year.
And Barca can come in anytime they want, even if Cesc had a 20 year contract, Henry had 3 years to go when Barca came calling and all Wenger said was you can’t keep a player if he wants to go.
So what’s the point in a long term contract, it means nothing.
February 15, 2008 at 9:43 am
great post, bottom line though guys is that there is no better time to beat the manc’s,
rooney will be well rested after his suspension, ronaldo is due a dip in form and hopefull a continuation of last weeks performance, there is no one else to fear, o’shea? brown? vidic?Evra?Ferdinand?Hargreaves?Carrick? Scholes?Giggs?and the male model that is tevez?
there is no Gary Neville or saha.
its going to be an ugly match with long balls to ade and bendtner, hopefully eboue will break ronaldo up ala john terry and walcott might eventually get a cross in,
i appolgise for mentioning this lot by name but are you seriuosly still thinking we cant do them, we have the momentum and belief, just because the manager is not bothered i assure you the team will be, it was the frindge players how sat in disbelief on the ground after the WHL semi, the “superstars” just walked off, the fringe players will be up for it
February 15, 2008 at 9:46 am
Started this morning feeling positive until I got an email from my brother with a list of all the injuries and potential absentees for tomorrow’s game! Scary! What does however worry me is this, Wenger is still saying he will play a weakened team with Wednesday’s game in mind. Which begs the question, exactly who have we got the luxury of resting?!
I must agree with points made previously here and on other sites, we as a club seem to be taking the FA Cup more and more lightly every season in preference to the CL, which doesnt go down well with most fans. we all grew up wanting to get to Wembley to see the reds play in a final, end of!
I’m more than sure that some players will make miraculous recoveries in time for the AC game because that’s the one they all want to play in!
On the point of signing tougher players, the African lads don’t get injured as much so get more of them in and also I hope some of our English lads come through soon as well so we don’t have to keep relying on these injury prone players from the continent!
Before anyone acuses me onf being racist as per the last statement, believe me I’m not! I just want the best for the team I’ve supported for the last 36 years!
Fuck me I’m in a foul mood today, all that romance from last night’s a distant memory now!
February 15, 2008 at 9:48 am
Simple supply and demand. The queue for season tickets is so long that it would be irresponsible of the board not to goose the prices higher. That may not feel great from a supporter’s point of view, but then we do want to continue to see talents like Cesc for many years to come, and if we can’t pay them, someone else will. I think the board have shown more restraint than most (see: Glazers).
February 15, 2008 at 9:50 am
The longer the contract Geoff, the more power the club have. Henry was approaching 30 on a 3 year contracy. Cesc is 20. That’s the difference. The player will always leave (contract or not) if he chooses to do so, but the club would get a massive fee if that happened if he is on a long term deal.
I can’t see many people on 15k a year sitting in club level seats either. Nearly half your salary after tax.
February 15, 2008 at 9:53 am
Goofle, the article is the forefront to a debate. Which is what everyone else is managing to do without being an agressive cock. Without the article they’d be nothing to debate would there?
February 15, 2008 at 9:57 am
i think ill take a time out, this is going to get messy, there is going to be furr flying,
February 15, 2008 at 9:58 am
Bore off Eddy.
I can’t stand idiots like you (The ‘Arsene Knows’ Crew). It is widely believed that Wenger will field a weakened team for the FA Cup as the Champions league takes priority over the FA Cup. Wenger said so earlier in the season.
Its not like Arsene hasn’t lied about injured players before and its not like Milan haven’t been using the same trick for the last two weeks with Gattuso (Now fit), Pato and Kaka. All who were deemed too injured to play for Milan, but are now miraculously fit.
Personally I am fine with him saying players are injured if it means fielding a strong team for Milan, but don’t think Wenger doesn’t lie about injuries… all managers do.
If you don’t want opinion, go and read Arsenal.com.
Goofle, who is going to pay £50 to go and see Wigan versus Derby in Qatar? Do you not think agents wont see the extra money clubs are earning from the foreign games and demand higher wages for there players? The successful clubs will get richer, and the poorer clubs will be in the same situation.
‘Diop, Barton and Reo Coker’
Who is suggesting them? I think he is just saying our players seem to be permanently injured, but Christiano Ronaldo never is. Mourinho sold Robben because he thought he was a weak player. It would just be nice to have more battle hardened players like Sagna and Toure.
February 15, 2008 at 9:59 am
When is half term over? I might come back then.
February 15, 2008 at 10:00 am
Agree with the spirit of the article but don’t know why you’re mentioning Fabregas. He could earn far more elsewhere and if this makes him the clubs top earner it’s fine by me because he’s by far the clubs best player.
February 15, 2008 at 10:00 am
ok, I take it the funny farm doors have been left open again for weekend day release because the like of the cunt from mid week seem to be turning up today! As Steve just said it’s a fucking debate, you state your point of view and no need to pick on the fucking article writer, any of you fucking cunts want to delude yourselves that all things are bright and beautiful, feel free to drag your knuckles over to Arsenal.com!!
Fuck me! I’m with you Chris I’m taking a breather!
February 15, 2008 at 10:01 am
good point steve
February 15, 2008 at 10:03 am
Another point I forgot to mention.
Arsenals wage bill is the second largest in the Prem.
We pay good wages. I think it is a myth that we pay poorly. Thierry was on huge wages!
February 15, 2008 at 10:06 am
Ok boys I just got rid of two of them, wankers.
February 15, 2008 at 10:11 am
ticket prices are too high. I mean 50 odd quid to watch men kick a ball about in front of you for 1.5 hours is expensive in anyone’s language, but if we dont pay it some other rich bugger will, and chances are he/she will be a more corporate type supporter who is relatively ‘new’ to the club. so the real heart and soul of the club (us working class fans who have been to every match for 20 years) get slowly phased out. I already know loads of working class men who have given up going to watch Arsenal at home. They watch it in the pubs on EPSN or Star sports. thats where half the old guard are now not at the Emirates.
I dont have a great deal of disposable income but what I do have goes on Arsenal and I find stumping up more cash each season very hard. but I have no choice if this is what I want to do - they have me over a barrel and they are taking advantage of it.
As for injuries, yes we have a bad crisis at the moment but we knew that certain player like Rosicky and RVP were either injury prone or have been injured for large parts of the season. I feel this could have been resolved in the January transfer window, but wenger just hoped he would have enough to challenge on all fronts and even let Diarra go.
still think we can beat united though. most of the big players are fit but we will miss the full backs.
February 15, 2008 at 10:15 am
It’s a good point gazzap, but for those of us who still spend out on tickets it gets tougher each year and the stewards ruin your day as well.
I’ll bet the jerks we had on today don’t have seasons tickets.
February 15, 2008 at 10:15 am
You write a slightly controversial article and all the idiots turn up!
‘But it needs to be done for the likes of Wigan, Birmingham and Sunderland - Not Arsenal and Man Utd.’
Goofle, are you a complete moron? Do you truly believe this new format is for the likes of the bottom half of the table. Can you see cities bidding for Boro v Spurs games? If Premiership clubs are in debt, its down to bad management, and plunging more money into badly run businesses rarely makes a difference.
I think Geoff’s view is slightly distorted on the Cups.
I would rather win the FA Cup than get to the semi’s of the Champions League. By fielding a weakened FA Cup team, we give ourselves 2 chances of silveware, which are by no means guaranteed. If we win against the Mancs on Sat, we only have 2 games to secure silverware.
We fielded a weakened team in the Carling cup, and now the spuds could end up winning more silverware than us.
I would rather win the Champions league and the League, but I don’t see why we have to bin off the FA Cup in the process.
You see people, there are ways of disagreeing with people without coming across like a grade A cunt.
February 15, 2008 at 10:21 am
Well writen le Grove.
AW doesn’t seem to take our view serously these days. Only his reports to the board matter. I said this last week in your post and I’m saying this again.
Any football coach major goal is winning trophees and he should never have any preference; because luck won’t be on your side when you choose which trophee you want to win.
This FA Cup against United is as important as the CL game against AC Milan. AW should set out a full strentgh first team and beat Manchester tomorrow. That victory will help us beat Milan next week. We should learn from last three years defeats while setting out frenge players against some of our title rivals and we went on to lose everything in one week.
February 15, 2008 at 10:23 am
I have a certificate at home saying I’m no 36,000 or something like that so I make do with Red Membership at £35 per season and hope and pray I move up the list. I can afford £2,500 a year, but once I have kids and they want to come to games what do i do?
No matter how you look at it, if you love the club enough to want to get to games you’re always going to get bent over a barrell because supporting a top level club in any major league in Europe is not cheap.
Glad we’ve got some normality back guys, a cuntfest at 9.30 is not good for the old BP!
February 15, 2008 at 10:24 am
And the dinosaur is in the house!!!
February 15, 2008 at 10:27 am
I fell asleep in the chair last night -no change there then -so Mrs Mike sloped off to bed and I crawled up at 1.30 am -I was feeling surprisingly good til I read the full
injury list .Re finances youre always gonna have a mismatch between a succesful commercial enterprise and fans regarding price (other than a shareholder who is both ).If they were for eg a gas supplier you can vote with your feet and change -and still get the same gas .Not so here theres too much passion involved .By all means feel aggrieved but I cant see how you can make a change .It is however easier to leave a club when its de-moted or non performing .I suspect most would accept price
and good premiership performance rather than the alternative .I feel sorry for people like Steve who wants his kids to experience the emirates and knows its gonna be too painful financially .I suspect a large part of todays fans used to go to matches with their Dads.It aint gonna be that easy for their kids .Thank god there are at least sports channels
…and dont forget for every fan that doesnt renew there will be many to step in -It may feel like blackmail -but if youre a “have “there are many” have nots ” waiting to replace you .By the way median earnings in London is £30 K but if you take geoff out of the stats -it falls to £15 k -thats how he got to that figure
February 15, 2008 at 10:31 am
Dont think our team tomorrow will be as below par as you make out:
Lehmann, Toure, Gallas, Hoyte, Traore, Flamini, Cesc, Eboue, Hleb, Bendtner and Eduardo .. (with Adebayor on bench if we need him) a team capable of beating Manure for sure. and then possibly Rosicky, Walcott, Sagna, Clichy, Senderos and maybe even RVP to return for Wednesday.
Dont tell me you dont want to see us give our all for a game against a team that has the best player in the world and are the current European champions at our own ground.
I think we’re being victims of our success here as we are in all 3 major competitions still and AW has to balance things out!
The only debate comes possibly if we get knocked out of both cup comps and that affects are league campaign (something that has happened before!) .. then we question the size of the squad and in particular the decisions to sell someone as good as Diarra and not at least bring in a replacement! That is when we can ask questions.
I have however have a sneaky feeling that by the end of the 2nd leg of the CL against Milan, we could still be challenging on all 3 fronts and Spurs would have lost the Carling Cup. Whether we still win all 3 may be a bit far but I think we’ll do both United and Milan!
February 15, 2008 at 10:32 am
Is it just me or do you guys think we have lost already.
The fact of the matter is we have a squad - if you have 30 or so players and you purchase a season ticket you expect to see all 30 players.
you will be complaining next season that carlos vela (when he is back with us) was on loan too long and should have played for us in the kids cup.
whatever happend to “in wenger we trust”- Wenger is our best manager (even better than herbert chapman for me) and every week we complain about people not appreciating how well he has done - trust guys we will do those shady scum boys on the weekend
February 15, 2008 at 10:34 am
Have the school children fucked off now?
Morning Mike, how was the San Miguel?
I think we’ll get something at O.T at the weekend. Just have a funny feeling. Eduardo to pop up late doors to send 9,000 delirious gooners mental. I’ve never seen Arsenal lose a cup tie at Old trafford and don’t intend to start tomorrow.
February 15, 2008 at 10:40 am
Mike, that is truly becoming a worry now that kids will simply support ‘easier’ teams. My old man took me to my first game at 5 (1978), and you could pick and choose games where you weren’t expecting trouble etc. We have in our family 7 season tickets (since 1986) and hopefully my kids will be able to use those on occassions if my brother, dad, uncle etc don’t go when they are old enough but at what cost?
i’m not in as bad a position as some financially, but in the long run we’ll lose the core family support Arsenal has always had. My eldest is 3 1/2 and starting to show an interest now when i’m off to games, so it won’t be long before i have to face up to the possibility of paying 150 odd quid per game.
February 15, 2008 at 10:41 am
Hope you’re right Steve, the team shouldnt be too far off Jon’s list above and that’s a strong enough team for me.
February 15, 2008 at 10:42 am
hmmm, sunday mornings headlines, Henry the second, eduardo with hat trick,
nice thought
February 15, 2008 at 10:42 am
Great steve San Miguel was Fab -I did get 24 bottles after Deidres recommendation and I have just put 15 bottles in the recycle bin and a bottle of red wine and the empty bourbon bottle (which wasnt full I may add) You should be in advertising -that subliminal stuff is scary -Dont you or Deidre mention anything else otherwise I may have to rush out and get it ……
February 15, 2008 at 10:42 am
My sentiments echoed exactly; on the ticket pricing that is. I just got my renewal through the door for 2 tickets and its a lot of money.
All of the rubbish that was printed earlier in the season about the perils of selling up to an Uzbek and we have a board who are just as bad. I am not saying I want anyone else in charge of the club, I am just saying it doesn’t matter who runs your club, they all fleece you the same.
Its just more money to put onto the stack of money we already have.
This is all fine while we are winning, I just wonder how successful this route would be if we don’t make the Champion league (Heaven forbid).
I think the test case for this will be Liverpool this summer.
Before I get savaged, I have been a loyal season ticket holder for 20 years. I am just wondering what will happen to the jolly come latelys when things go pear shaped.
I think we will win on Saturday regardless of the team he fields. Fergie will field a weakened team as well, people seem to be missing that.
February 15, 2008 at 10:43 am
Where are the facts regarding season ticket price increases - I can find no mention of any elsewhere. Is there a news release we can be directed to?
February 15, 2008 at 10:44 am
no one has mentiond the good news of the day - old Septic Bladder has blocked any move for the PL to play games abroad. so its dead in the water for now. thats the best news I will hear today. Scumadore can shove that up his arse.
February 15, 2008 at 10:48 am
You lot stop moaning about paying over the odds for your ST’s you’re putting me off wanting to re register for the waiting list next season!!!
February 15, 2008 at 10:48 am
Whoooaaaaaaaa……….. slow down everyone, got a steamer of a hangover and this ain’t helping !!!!
Sorry can’t thinl of anything else to write coz i can’t think at the moment.
Fucking Beer, White Wine, Beer, Brandy, Red Wine, Brandy (in that order and in copious amounts of!!!)……. fucks you up !!!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 10:50 am
your forgot the sambuca bud
February 15, 2008 at 10:52 am
I havent received a renewal increase yet but some of these comments should be put in writing to the club. Particularly Steve’s point about losing the “family support” that Arsenal has always had.
Admittedly we have always had one of the quietest bunch of fans but things have definitely got worse lately due to the influx of “new fans” who sit around me and talk a lot of shit. OF course this is extra income for the club which is healthy but the board need to be careful about alienating the old skool Arsenal fan who have been coming for generations and keep the club in good health generally.
Again it’s a fine line but if interest rates are going down and inflation is going up so do season tickets particularly as a London club. BUt still the club must not lose its core support. the players dont benefit in big games from real support based in sme pub round the corner. they need it in the stands
February 15, 2008 at 10:54 am
read about the noises coming from OT that they will win.i’ve read a lot of similar stories in the past. as the saying goes the bigger they are the holder they fall is very true.with all the focus on th 50 anniversary it seems the red nosed has been given the divine right to win everything.
Well I just hope Eduardo or any gunner score a couple of goals to deflate the ego bf it it swallows the earrth. As it is the sight of the red nosed sorry faced one chewing irrittates me and nothing but a win would satisfy me . Any way a draw will do and AW has to make sure the two over rated Rs are not given time and space to move, Then we shall se how good the bull dog is.
February 15, 2008 at 10:56 am
Wolfgang………. great post mate !
February 15, 2008 at 10:56 am
what I find is that the teams with all the talk are the most worried, so the more Man U talk the happier I am. Arsenal are staying quiet - they have more class than to talk themselves up. despite the injuries we can beat them. we just need a few good performances.
February 15, 2008 at 10:58 am
The season ticket increases are for Club level and they have been posted to everyone TC.
Eddy just came back on talking about his love for Arsene, his dislike for me and something about being henpecked. I deleted it, it was boring. Eddy, read back through my posts if you think I am negative.
Jon, I don’t think the Emirates is that bad for atmosphere? I think its noisier than Highbury was and a lot better that Upton Park. I know people were saying that the Spuds game at White heart lane was what an atmposphere should be like… but at the end of the day, that was like winning the league for them!
Its nice to see Blatter do something for once. I think he knows if this takes off, FIFA’s days could be numbered. Break away league anyone?
I think we’re going to do the Mancs, Chelsea in the Semis please!
February 15, 2008 at 11:00 am
Bud -hair of the dog or the whole fuckin thing will make you feel tons better -go for it after all its Friday -I think !
February 15, 2008 at 11:05 am
Our players and manager never seem to get involved in hype before big games do they?
All i’ve heard from our mob is that it will be a great game and we have players missing.
The ManUre bunch on the other hand have already started talking about winning ugly and shit like that. Mainly Giggs he’d know a thing or 2 about ugly wouldnt he!
They just have thie belief that the back lash from them losing at home to city will be delivered against us!!
Here’s a little fact they seem to be missing, we beat city 3-1 a week later they lose to them AT HOME. we’ve got players missing but the guys who’ve come in will try and stake claims for starting berths on Wednesday. My advise to ManUre is this
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID
February 15, 2008 at 11:05 am
Pedro old boy you started the insults with “I hate people like you” etc implying my ignorance is borne of blind love for Arsenal and all things connected with Arsene.At the risk of being boring,for the third time please name the players(as your original post suggests)that you feel are not injured but will but are listed as being out of contention for the Manchester United FA Cup game?
February 15, 2008 at 11:08 am
I wasn’t going to drink today and now one of my regular victims is desperate to get out. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy willpower anywhere?
February 15, 2008 at 11:10 am
i’d give derren brown a ring mate
February 15, 2008 at 11:13 am
Fuck that, he’ll have me robbing banks or something. Dodgy cunt he is.
February 15, 2008 at 11:15 am
Paul Mckenna?
February 15, 2008 at 11:18 am
good shout Pedro, just block the cunt from coming back on, he obviously doesn’t understand the integrity of our site.
I hope you are all right but Ferguson won’t field a weakened side and if they beat us, we’ll hear about it until we win the league.
Traore worries me a lot ,especially with Ronaldo.
Remember when they won the treble? that should have been our double, Bergkamp penalty in injury time and Keane sent off in the semi and losing to Leeds when we stuffed them and missing out on the prem by a point.
now one remembers that though, they all remember the treble.
Strongest side every game please/
February 15, 2008 at 11:21 am
Just beat me odub to it -Paul Mckenna has a will power dvd and book unfortunately Geoff is a follower of him and you know what its done to geoff .geoff is the only person I know who gets angry with the wii game consol when he doesnt get a strike at bowling EVERY TIME -It was like the incredible hulk on steroids -or Dwayne chambers
February 15, 2008 at 11:23 am
Geoff that season will forever leave a bad taste, especially seeing as we hung on until that cunt Vivas threw away the Leeds game at Eland road and then we had to rely on the scum to beat the Manc last day of the season to win the league, which was never going to happen!
Every gooner remembers that season, that red nosed yeti saving Bergkamp’s penalty, and Giggs fluke goal!
Every bloody time I hear their fucking treble mentioned I remember it!
February 15, 2008 at 11:26 am
I agree in principle with what you say in the article but Fabregas is the wrong example to pick. Just think - if we were buying him from Barcelona for 30mil plus - we (the fans) would have been delirious with joy. Instead, we have a home developed talent who cost next to nothing but is now being offered a salary commiserate with his talent and youth. The obscene salaries paid to John Terry, Shev etc is a good example of how it should not be done.
I am very pessimistic of our chances tomorrow. Without Sagna and Clichy - not only do we limit our attacking options but lose two of the best full backs in defence in the EPL.
February 15, 2008 at 11:28 am
Sagna & Clichy for a start Eddy !
February 15, 2008 at 11:28 am
Odub I remember our final game we were beating Villa and Spurs were beating ManU which meant our title, we won of course but so did they, the cunts.
Mike, I won 7 on the trot I think!

Eddy, its not my post ask Geoff. I would think if it was a Prem game, he would take more risks with players fitness. Rosicky would probably play. We’ll see though, it is only an opinion at the end of the day.
I think we’re going to tank the Mancs! It would be nice to have Eboue in the team, a bit of John Terry treatment on Ronaldo please!
I think we’ll do them, Fergie might rest his big guns. I hope so because I agree with you about Traore… he makes me nervous!
February 15, 2008 at 11:30 am
Didnt realise he was that bad, thought the bear picture was just a wind up!!! hence why I refuse to buy a Wii, I’ll stick to my PS3 thank you!
Don’t get me started on that cheating druggy cunt! Can’t even bring myself to type his name!!
February 15, 2008 at 11:31 am
Right, my lack of willpower has shone through. Laters Grovers.
February 15, 2008 at 11:35 am
Fuck me Odub, you don’t know the half of it………. Geoff make a bear seem like a ballerina……….. the guy is a beast straight from Hades !!!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 11:37 am
Ok Geoff the first was 7 to 1 the second was 4 to 3 and the only thing I won was not going for a piss as much as you -
February 15, 2008 at 11:42 am
Scary!
February 15, 2008 at 11:42 am
Yeah Odub, you should have seen what happened to the Chelsea thug who attacked me on the way out of the West Stand at Highbury in the last season… brutal, but karma prevailed.
More rumours floating around about Gourcouff.
February 15, 2008 at 11:48 am
don’t listen to them, they’re winding you up, I’m more like Barny Rubble, the bear picture is because I like Grizzlies!
February 15, 2008 at 11:49 am
You guys are beginning to worry me a bit!
Bowling on wii’s together, going for long walks on the beach in La Manga together, picking fights at shyte hart lane, beating up chavs, and the frequent trips to the Torrevieja roundabout girls……
You couldnt make this shit up!!
February 15, 2008 at 11:53 am
Odub - Ask Geoff about leaning over the front of the Exec Box at the Cup Final at Cardiff against the Mancs (witnessed by many including me & Pedro)………. ask him how their heads got bashed together?!!!
Geoff makes bear knuckle fighters look like Morris Dancers !!!!!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 11:54 am
Yeah right Geoff! Some how I can’t see you as a 4ft 6 midget with an animal skin one piece suit!
February 15, 2008 at 11:58 am
It’s called capitalism lads. If you don’t like the price don’t pay it. There is someone out there that will. After all it’s not Arsenals fault you can’t afford it.
February 15, 2008 at 11:58 am
Torrevieja rounadbout girls eh? where exactly Odub!
February 15, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Since this is a site I can “have an opinion”, here goes:
1. I agree with the writer that some of our players are very injury prone. In all fairness, only Rosicky and Robin have been especially problematic. Don’t forget that Senderos, Cesc and Flamini all played through minor injuries in the last match. And then I can see the flak Wenger would get (from this site among others) if he was to risk injured players and then lose them for longer (as he did with Robin). I don’t know how much Arsene is lying but if we don’t field a “full and fit complement” for the Champions League tie, you were talking utter crap - this wasn’t an opinion; this was a statement of fact.
2. I wish we would go for the FA cup!!!
3. You make it sound as if he is getting 33million lump sum. He is getting this as weekly salary over a period of 8 years. It is still a lot of money, but do you seriously expect him to play for less than half of what he could make anywhere else? He is 20! His best years are ahead of him and, I for one, don’t want him leaving at 25 because we were too cheap. Thierry was 30, and I think he wanted the CL, which Wenger hasn’t won EVER. Maybe that’s why he is going for it more than the FA cup?
February 15, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Geoff was in Spain last July with a mate, we spent the day in Cartagena, and on the way back we stopped of in Torrvieja and on the last 3 roundabouts on the way in noticed these girls aged between 21-25, my mate asked why they were stood there and I coudlnt tell him, I eventually found out from the in laws that they were ‘working girls’ apparently one of their mates stopped to offer one a lift once (yeah right!!), and all the English they could utter was sucky sucky fucky €50!!!
I so wish I’d found this out earlier!!! €50 what a bargain!!!
February 15, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Gents I’m off to get my Friday Vino fix, goodluck with all the cunts your wonderful post keeps attracting!!!
February 15, 2008 at 12:08 pm
is it only me who is nto drinking during office hours, this is bollox,
geoff, you will get a does of arthritis repetidly hitting the block/ban button today
February 15, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Chakravo, I make you right on the Contract thing. We can’t complain we’re not giving the Flamster enough, but giving Cesc to much. He would cost a fortune if we sold him and our whole team is based round him!
‘We will, I have no doubt field a full and fit compliment (minus full time crock RVP) all nicely ready for the plump Champions league tie against Milan, funny that eh!’
Not really a statement. When you say, ‘I have no doubt’, it usually indicates its an opinion. Regardless of that, I fully agree with you. Imagine we play the mancs and get 4 1 month injuries that could have been avoided with and easy weekend. Un thinkable.
Cantbearsed, you are a genius! Thanks for pointing out that we live in a capitalist society. I haven’t read to many people saying they can’t afford it though?
February 15, 2008 at 12:09 pm
“Can’tbearsed” - I do not need a lessen in capitalism from you, I am a successful businessman with a fair bit of noddle. I/We (i.e. Geoff & Pedro) can afford it, that’s not the issue you bell-end. Fact is, they told us prices would not go up, they have, and they not only didn’t have the bollocks to tell us prior, but they also neglected to advise of any increase on the renewal forms and covering letter. Only the on the mandate you have to send in with you payment, does the tiny little figure at the bottom reveal that prices have in fact gone up. And bearing mind there are still 3 months to go this season, we have to pay it all up front NOW.
If I upped one of my clients bills without telling them, it would not be capitalism you penis, it would be underhand and unprofessional…… end of !
February 15, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Chris - Why you not drink on a Friday. Its the law !!!!
February 15, 2008 at 12:22 pm
i will for sure later, just not during the day, i think i should work for you
February 15, 2008 at 12:26 pm
well done guys, I think you summed that up, I would like to add however that we pay vastly more in all areas of our ground than ManU, AC and Inter Milan, Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona fans do, so I feel we have a right to object when they put up the prices.
Over 50,000 on the waiting list gives them that confidence I guess.
February 15, 2008 at 12:35 pm
81% of chelsea fans prefer us to win the league over man u,
February 15, 2008 at 12:37 pm
well that make 5,000 more people want us to win the league then, so every little helps!
February 15, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Chakravo you seem to have failed to understand the raison detre of this blog -you can have an opinion for Sure but it also says NOT GET ONE .The people who post value everyones opinion on most subjects and the right to express it well except racisim ..so you had a right to voice your opinion however the moment you say someone is talking crap -the other person is GETTING ONE ie yours on him personally and thats not what we want -otherwise it just becomes a slanging match .So in other words respect the others opinion and if you have a different opinion express it in a way that doesnt disrespect a fellower blogger .Experience shows that this usually increases the debate not close it down
February 15, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I understand Can’tbearsed has been back on and removed. Apparently I am a homosexual that sucked cock last night (I find that very disrespectful towards Mrs Bud) and am businessly deficient and have no clients because I used the words Penis & Bellend………. whoops, there goes another deal !!!!
Oh and I am whinging twat because Milk has gone up in price as well and I should know that becuase I have a business Degree.
I do get the impression that our learned friend “Can’tbearsed” didn’t get it last night and is walking around with a huge set of unloaded lovespuds which is leading towards an unnatural balance of frustration and anger!
How dare I question my ticket price increase on OUR blogsite, the one where we enjoy our friendly, often odd, certainly freaky, often sexual, sometimes football even debating !!!!
Where do these people come from????!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Cantbearsed, maybe you should educate yourself before picking holes in other people.
You could only sue Arsenal if they induced you into a contract by saying prices wouldn’t go up and then you suffer loss because of the increase, that could be a breach of contract.
Maybe you should consult your business law books again?
February 15, 2008 at 12:48 pm
they are inconsequential nobodies who get off on being brave on blog sites, a bit like traffic wardens.
They probably have very small dicks as well.
Anyway they’ve been blocked.
February 15, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I fuckin knew your law degree would come in handy one day Pedro……. I take back all that scrounging student abuse we gave you all those years back……….. I am shamed !!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 12:58 pm
This article is a little pessimistic! We can still field a relatively strong side, and to be perfectly honest united will not be fielding their first eleven either. Fact of the matter is the Champions league IS more important than the f.a cup. Think about the joy that we all felt when we got to the final a few years ago, i was so proud that the gunners had made it to that stage and i would much rather we got their again than won the f.a cup. And anyway this is besides the point because i believe a team of
Lehmann
Eboue Toure Gallas Traore
Fab Gil Flam Hleb
Adebayor Eduardo
can win tomorrow.
February 15, 2008 at 12:59 pm
DO you reckon so called controversial headers attract the tossers ?
no wonder in a short time the hits have increased -its great that people can see that a blog can be fun informative and occasionally off football -It makes those that post here human rather than fanaticak mindless Dicks that cant communicate in any other way .I reckon if the grovers met in a pub they would still be able to communicate face to face and have fun especially if geoff had put a kitty behind the bar !!
..may be a bit expensive for evo in oz to turn up though .
February 15, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I don’t think he’ll play Ade, I would like to win the Champions league, but why should it be an either or?
Red nose won them both, always play your best team, and if they are all so fragile, buy in January, don’t sell.
February 15, 2008 at 1:02 pm
i doubt evo would drink wife beater anyway mike
February 15, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Thanks Bud. He came back bleating about freedom of speech etc, but as far as Le Grove is concerned, if you don’t have anything constructive to say and you are stifling debate… do one. Can’tbearsed, go and crack on with those law books.
I think when you write a polarizing article people you get the idiots. Some people disagree and put it sensibly, some people get petty and abusive. Human nature!
Gooner C, I’m with you! I think we can turn them over! I am on match reporting duties and I don’t want to end up writing a miserable piece! I think Toure is return is key to any result… hopefully if we beat them, the mancs could go on a miserable run. Is rooney back?
I’m getting excited! I would be shitting myself if I had to go up there, the atmosphere will be great though!
February 15, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Victoria Bitter I reckon !
February 15, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Geoff providing I am in Uk fancy meeting up for a drink when we get to St Totteringham day ?.As long as we go to a place thats got a bog close by and doesnt have a wii machine -you should be OK
February 15, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I think Geoff should hald a St Totteringhams Day party at his house for all Grovers. For those thta do not know here he lives, his address is………
February 15, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I was drinking James Boags when I was last in sydney -really liked that
February 15, 2008 at 1:14 pm
fuck me Bud I wouldnt like to be there when Mrs Geoff arrives home and all these piss heads are draped over her new sofas -I am feeling sick just thinking of it
February 15, 2008 at 1:17 pm
I do not know what you mean Mike………. Geoff always gives it the large that he wears the trousers…….. usually with a pinny mind !!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 1:31 pm
I’ll be anywhere you guys want!
February 15, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Geoff, you’ve killed the blog by hawking for a date !!!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Someone been upsetting Bud & Pedro I see, what else have I missed?
February 15, 2008 at 1:58 pm
a weel rounded point, plenty to digest…
February 15, 2008 at 2:09 pm
ok. I’ve been able to establish some can’tbearsed is a bell end, and Pedro has a law degree, Bud’s invited everyone round to Geoff’s mansion for a knees up, Mike’s got pissed on every continent in the world and we’re going to win tomorrow. That sound about right?
February 15, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Ok Grovers another moron bites the dust. I really don’t understand why people think it’s fun and clever to slag there own off.
I guess if we’re not obedient to all things Arsenal, we’re moaners, and then they get on here and moan!
Oxymoron that!
Anyway he’s gone so back to having fun all.
February 15, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Baggio no need for that squire, Friday afternoon, slightly worse for wear after but I’ll tell you this, everything on here is light hearted so get over yourself you prick!!!
February 15, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I’ve been watching the posts all day! I’ve never seen so many idiots come on? That baggio is normally a nice guy, maybe cantbearsed was his chum?
All very boring.
Friday funny for you,
Arsenal ace Emmanuel Adebayor has declared himself better than former teammate Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto’o, the Barcelona strikers.
“With me on the field,” Adebayor told Tuttosport, “Henry and Eto’o would have to be on the bench.”
How about that for arrogance?
February 15, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Yeah, Baggio has def popped up on here before, and didnt previously sound like a cunt.
Quote from Arsenal.com below, didnt realise Ade and Flamster were struggling!! Pat Rice will be getting a game at this rate!!!
‘The likes of Gael Clichy, Emmanuel Adebayor, Mathieu Flamini and Philippe Senderos are all struggling but will travel.’
February 15, 2008 at 2:27 pm
^^ Lol.
February 15, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Billionaire Alisher Usmanov has increased the amount of shares he owns in Arsenal Football Club by around 1 percent to more than 24 percent, the company representing him said on Friday
Red and White Holdings, the investment vehicle for the Russian businessman which has David Dein as its chairman, said in a statement it now holds over 24 percent in Arsenal Holdings Plc, having held 23 percent since last September.
February 15, 2008 at 2:36 pm
What did Baggio say, I missed it?
February 15, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Anyone who disagrees with my point of view is a cunt, I hate cunts who don’t think ‘Arsene knows’ all the time, and just because my dick is 2 cm long doesnt mean I’m a small dicked pony tailed cunt, was mainly the gist of it Bud.
February 15, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Maybe he too has the hangover a Thousand Turkish Whores ?!
February 15, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Odub - If you ever need tickets by the way, I’ve often got 1 or 2 spares. But obviously it will be last minute(ish). i.e. day before of morning of a game?
You never know, as an added bonus, you may even get to bow to Prince Pedro of Le-Grove or if you stand very still, you may even catch a glimpse of THE BEAR…….. but never ever look him in the eyes !!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 2:48 pm
oh thats it bud tease us all!!
February 15, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Been to see my friends new born baby today and he asked me if I wanted to wind him.
Thought that was a tad harsh so I just gave him a fucking dead leg.
Sorry.
Bit pissed.
February 15, 2008 at 2:51 pm
“A pony-tailed cunt” That conjurs up some picture.
February 15, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Cheers Bud, appreciated. Will send contact details to the lords of le grove if/when the oppourtunities arise. Aint noway i’m putting my details on here with all the freaks we’ve had on recently!!
Will remember the advise re The Bear, he’s not huggie bear I mean huggable bear, he is to be avoided at all times!! Will remember that!
February 15, 2008 at 2:53 pm
steve, we have had cuntfest 2008 today, shit load of barring orders given out but the bear has remained calm,
February 15, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I like that one Steve, the other twat said we were are moaning twats and such, he won’t be back.
Anyone who uses that for a moniker has to be a cunt.
I don’t understand all these injuries, they were all fine against Blackburn, that’s why I’m so sceptical about it all.
February 15, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Rumour has it, THE BEAR went up the training ground and a few of the first team looked him in the eye……. the innevitable happened obviously, hence our ridiculous fucking injury list !!!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Will let Pedro know when I have a spare!
February 15, 2008 at 3:01 pm
I’m convinced we will get something now. Red wine and large Ammerettos seem to extract the optimist in me.
It’s always good to have the odd cunt or two on, makes you realise how lucky you are in life. Reading these pricks make me feel intelligent.
February 15, 2008 at 3:01 pm
So who is definitely fit then? I make it
Lehmann, Gallas, Toure, Hoyte, Traore, Cesc, Gilberto, Hleb, Eboue, Bendtner and Eduardo (11) plus Fabianski. I think he has said Toure is fit anyway.
Then there are question marks over Clichy, Flam, Ade, Senderos and Song (5)
While RVP, Djourou, Diaby, Denilson, Sagna, Rosicky and Walcott (7) are definintely all out.
who could be back for wednesday? Rosicky and Sagna. And we need all those with a question mark to be OK. if they have muscle problems I would not risk them at OT as we have 11 fit players without them.
February 15, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Wenger Regarding 39th game (sportinglife):
Arsene Wenger has denied Arsenal have opened negotiations over a new contract with Cesc Fabregas
Fabregas, whose current deal with the Gunners expires in 2014, revealed that the club has sought talks over fresh terms.
But Wenger insists the Spain midfielder was simply voicing his commitment to the club in response to speculation over renewed interest from home town club Barcelona.
“At the moment there are no talks. What he wanted to say is that he is committed to the future here,” said the Frenchman.
“He was interviewed by Spanish radio and that’s all he wanted to say.”
Wenger is surprised at the ferocity of the backlash against the Premier League’s proposal to play a 39th game abroad each season from 2011.
The plan has received universal condemnation with FIFA president Sepp Blatter the latest dissenting voice, declaring it will “never happen”.
But Wenger insists the idea should be investigated properly before being written off.
“I’m surprised by the immensity of the battle from people who are against it without really analysing the pros and cons,” he said.
“For me the biggest disrespect to the fans is to take money out of their pockets without giving them something of quality.
“I can understand a lot of resistance because there are problems that have to be erased, but you cannot say that a competitive game is disrespectful to fans.
“Friendly games for huge prices are disrespectful to fans.”
Arsene on injuries (arsenal.com)
Arsenal’s injury problems are so severe that Arsène Wenger will take all his fit players to Manchester this evening [Friday] and then wait until the morning to see who is fit enough to feature at Old Trafford in the FA Cup Fifth-Round tie.
The likes of Gael Clichy, Emmanuel Adebayor, Mathieu Flamini and Philippe Senderos are all struggling but will travel.
“We have a few players who are on the edge,” said the manager at Friday’s press conference.
“We are down to the bare bones. We have just 14 players and everyone will travel then I will make a decision.
“Clichy, Senderos, Adebayor, Flamini - all are muscular injuries. I will have to take a look and see who is in the most dangerous position.”
Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue are available after the Africa Cup of Nations while Wenger did confirm that Jens Lehmann will play in goal. “He is the keeper in the FA Cup, that has been decided,” said the Frenchman.
The current list of injured or doubtful players reads: Johan Djourou (groin), Robin van Persie (thigh), Abou Diaby (calf), Manuel Almunia (sick), Denilson (hamstring), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Theo Walcott (thigh), Clichy (hamstring), Alex Song (muscular), Bacary Sagna (personal reasons), Emmanuel Adebayor (muscular) and Philippe Senderos (knee/thigh).
February 15, 2008 at 3:13 pm
That is a fucking big injury list…
February 15, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Fucking unbelievable. I’m sure it has something to do with the pansy boots they wear nowadays. Fucking hell, I sound like my grandad.
February 15, 2008 at 3:17 pm
didn’t stop the season tickets going up though did it?
February 15, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Damn Pedro! How long was that!!!!
Steve I for one will say I ain’t Mr Perfect or anything like that, but I’m not one for forcing my own views down other people’s throats.
These cunts seem to think disgagreeing with an article allows them the right to make personal attacks on the writer and anyone associated with them!
We all love the Arsenal but it doesnt mean we can’t have varying opinions about the club and some of it’s policies does it?! Cunts!
February 15, 2008 at 3:19 pm
It still hasn’t been confirmed that all ST have gone up has it? I don’t normally get my renewal until the end of the season.
February 15, 2008 at 3:19 pm
didn’t stop the season tickets going up though did it? and what about Wenger always saying we play too many games? perhaps he forgot he said that.
Sorry for mentioning it, it’s my own stupid fault I should never disagree with anything Arsenal say, sorry, sorry.
February 15, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I blame the boots, and also Andy Gray keeps going on about how hard the pitches are these days, you rarely see muddy pitches anymore (apart from that shit heap at Wigan the other week)
February 15, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Spot on Odub. I was pondering an adjective to sum them up myself but I think yours is perfectly descriptive and accurate. They are indeed, cunts.
February 15, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Kangaroos were made for jumping about and getting eaten by Aboriginies, not to make football boots. Fucking kangaroo skin boots, piffle!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I wonder if Gary Lewin gets a performance related bonus? he’d be the richest man in football.
February 15, 2008 at 3:26 pm
These new shitty shinny orange nike ones they’re all prancing about in are getting on my fucking nerves!! Can you imagine the old back 4 in fucking orange boots?!
February 15, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Keown had red boots once. He looked a right monkey headed doughnut. Still love the bloke though.
February 15, 2008 at 3:30 pm
seem to remember seeing somewhere he chose that colour to hide the blood stains from kicking strikers up the ass!!!
February 15, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Those were the brown ones !
February 15, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Thanks Bud for lowering the tone again!
Not that it wasnt low enough as it is! What with pony tailed cunts, injury inducing bears, and working girls on Spanish roundabouts! It’s hardly a family blog is it!!
February 15, 2008 at 3:42 pm
You forgot the fact that Geoff attacked half the fucking first team so we are fucked for tomorrow !!!!!
February 15, 2008 at 3:47 pm
It really wasn’t me guys, the problem is in the head I think, all eyes on Europe.
I think the roundabout girls could become a good TV series, it has that ring, like Coronation Street.
February 15, 2008 at 3:48 pm
but based in milton keynes
February 15, 2008 at 3:50 pm
When we played in Madrid we stayed in the red light district (unwittingly of course). There were some proper dirty cunts walking round all night. They all looked fucking awful before the game when we were sober, and all took gorgeous pills while we celebrated the victory. Strange that.
February 15, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Or Harlow. Fucking roundabouts in that fucking place is ridiculous.
February 15, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Dont think I’d want to see what the roundabout girls in MK have to offer Chris!! Unless of course I’ve had some of Steve’s gorgeous pills!!!
February 15, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Harlow Essex?
February 15, 2008 at 3:58 pm
odub the pills are to be taken by the girls and not by you,
February 15, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Chris it’s Friday. I’m half cut, and quite impressed I’m managing to do some work and still communicate with you guys, I’m sure you’ll let me off this one!!!
February 15, 2008 at 4:04 pm
And if you don’t me and you will be having words! There’s that aggression the missus keeps telling me surfaces after a few swiftys again!
February 15, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Odub, drink blogging is not big and its not clever… you could crash your computer or something?
LOUIS SAHA is back for united…
February 15, 2008 at 4:18 pm
How fucking cold is it !!!!!
Just ventured outside the office with my trusty Lieutentant Col U Malc with the aim to make it to the pub over the road, but it was so cold we turned back………. we are now being proper ladies and have opened a bottle of wine from the fridge and are enjoying a splendid Quaff !!!!
February 15, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Just got back home and whilst I was waiting on Mrs Mike I was playing on my DS lite Brain train (current age 103)……
and it came up with this Question
You are trapped in a cage with a Manchester United Fan , a tiger and a deadly snake and you have a gun with two bullets in it . What do you do?
The answer was -
A. You shoot the United fan - TWICE
February 15, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Having a gay drink with Bud. Sorry for the intrusion on here, am looking for acceptance based on my eldest being brought up as a fanatical Gooner, plus I think Ashley Cole is a cunt and hate Spurs!
Can I stay? Please!
February 15, 2008 at 4:27 pm
I like the idea of taking gorgeous pills, MK or Harlow make sense and deserve it, in fact if they had them more people would go there.
I’ll blog tomorrow morning but it will be pre match and I know I won’t hear from you guys until Monday, but it will be positive so there shouldn’t be too many cunts on there.
February 15, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Stay for the day and we’ll review you at the end of it.
February 15, 2008 at 4:29 pm
You can stay Malc, what wine has bud got you on?
Make him get the expensive stuff you… he hides it in that bottom draw!
February 15, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Welcome Col.
Evening all, have a top weekend. I’m heading for O.T early doors and won’t be home until silly o’clock so they’ll be nothing from me at the weekend.
Hope you all have a right riviting rip roaring Gooner weekend.
Come on you Gunners!!!
February 15, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Got me on Chardonnay, not my choice and to be honest it is the stuff he couldn’t give away at Christmas that suddenly turned into our Xmas bonus!!!
Was either that or a can of Castlemaine well past its drink by date!!!
