I believe in the curse of leaving Arsenal, so be warned!
The boy wonder is back in training and word on the blogs is he will be back on the bench for the Milan game, I think that would depend on how fit he has kept himself, but it’s very positive news for the run in.
I watched the girls lose to Everton last night and depressing though it was, they were good! Arsenal that is.
Unfortunately for them though, they were cheated by a dodgy ref, Everton wasted 9 of the last 11 minutes and got away with it, the ref only played 3 of the 4 minutes of injury time and then blew up, and we had to endure constant views of a fat ugly scouse bird in her technical area, reminiscent of watching red nose when we play the Mancs and the game is still being played.
Still a big well done to our girls, you are a credit to both football and your gender, it’s always a pleasure watching you play, sometimes more than I should say.
Okay, only one day to go before we can open our lead at the top, we must, must, win this game if we are to end up as premier league champions, we beat them away so there’s no reason we can’t beat them at home.
The Chavs have a banana skin game with West Ham and the Mancs have Fulham away so let’s hope the ‘Bull’ rises to the occasion and gets a result for us and the Cottagers.
A great days blogging yesterday Grovers, let’s finish the week on a high.
Have a go at picking the team for tomorrow, the score, and the scorers, I’ll start the ball rolling.
Almunia
Sagna Phil Gallas Clichy
Hleb Cesc Flamster Diaby
Ade Theo
Arsenal 3-0
Scorers Theo, Ade and Cesc.
February 29, 2008 at 9:16 am
Hey bloggers… No mozart tommorrow? I thought he was nearing a comeback???
Always Good to be a Gooner!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:18 am
I think it’ll be Theo on the right and Hleb on the left. Bentdner and Ade up front.
Arsenal 2-1 with Adebayor and Cesc scoring.
I hope no thieving Arabs knick my post today.
Pedro, how in fucking bejeesus did you find that anyway? Are you a regular arabic tourer?
February 29, 2008 at 9:19 am
Maybe on the bench DC. He won’t start after his latest lay-off.
February 29, 2008 at 9:19 am
I wish Wenger would give a definitive answer on the injuries… its like when your pal says he will be there for 5 minutes and he tells you that every time you call for 30 mins!
Just tell me you are going to be half hour late and I could do something else you cunt!
Not that wenger is a cunt…Mozarts hamstrings are though… double cunts if you ask me!
I am not confident about tomorrow… 3 games without a win? Maybe we’ll scrape it 1-0?
Cesc to score a rocket?
February 29, 2008 at 9:21 am
haha! I know! I found it on the links… it was very funny!
Its a shame google can’t translate Arabic! what they are saying!
February 29, 2008 at 9:25 am
I can read a bit Pedro.
He said “I found this literary genious on a site that is generally occupied by cunts, it made a refreshing chance to read such a legend”
Something like that anyway
February 29, 2008 at 9:26 am
if he does not give theo a start up front now with eddy out and his confidence high after his brace last weekend, then i despair to think when he will.
February 29, 2008 at 9:26 am
Such irony to spell ‘change’ wrong in that last post.
February 29, 2008 at 9:29 am
That’s annoying… I thought they said they’d got to the bottom of his hamstring probs earlier on in the season… Bloody liars! We’re getting like Newcastle!!
OOHH no, I hope he doesn’t start with Bendtner on Sat… I’m not knocking him, but, he isn’t good enough to be in our starting eleven for Prem and Euro games…
No more injuries….. Let’s get RVP and Mozart back… Then I think we’re genuinely on for a good run-in…. We can’t get this far and fcuk it up!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:30 am
haha, i didn’t realise you were joking till half way though the sentence!
I don’t think Nikki Big Bollocks and Ade works… so Little and Large for me… its how is should be! I fancy Theo to do something tomorrow and especially if he’s not out wide.
Is Rosicky definitly out? I am getting that nervous feeling in my gut already! You always know if Arsenal are going to do well after the first 2 minutes… I hope we storm them! Its so important we do well because Wednesday will depend on it a bit!
COME ON YOU GOONERS!
February 29, 2008 at 9:30 am
And Cesc to score a rocket on saturday and lift the roof off the Emirates…
February 29, 2008 at 9:33 am
If Ade gives Walcott a good pass, he’ll score. He scored twice last week and I’m not worried about him missing, I’m more worried about Ade giving him the right pass. We don’t know the teams yet, let alone whether Ade will give Walcott a good pass. He might go through the whole game without giving him a good pass.
^ lifted from ANR - but extemeley succinct and valid. Ade is a very selfish player, which is a good trait for a striker but at times when he does try to play a fellow striker in…he has such a lack of practice at it that he fluffs it. Like that simple lay off to cesc against meelan and the simple square ball to nick last weekend.
February 29, 2008 at 9:33 am
I’ve always felt that you need a nippy little bloke with Ade.
February 29, 2008 at 9:34 am
Morning all!
I’ve got that positive friday feeling!! Although i wont be going, I’ll def be finding somehwhere to watch us trounce the other brummie team!! 3-0 (Ade,Theo,Cesc)
I am still in shock that the girls lost last night!! I was so confident they would win that I didnt even bloody watch it!! Anyway, it was bound to end at some point, but as long ad they retain the League and UEFA cup, that’ll be a successful season for me!
Steve it worries me that you’re now being quoted on sites that are written in arabic!! Knew there was something dodgy about you from the first second I saw you outside that offy!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:35 am
Almunia
Sagna Big Phil Gallas Clichy
Theo Cesc Flam Hleb
Ade Nikki
2-1
February 29, 2008 at 9:35 am
Id never believe you watched womens football -what a surprise .I remember being in the bar at La Manga with the norwegian ladies team -If you put the best bits together to make one women you still eneded up with just a leg .Having said that 58 games without defeat is fantastic -pity had to be the fuckin final to spoil the great run .
Pedro as I speak arabic and Engrish they are all steves Jeremy Beadle jokes recycled for the arabic market
Think geoff is optomistic regarding the result I think its gonna be tighter -Ive noticed all of geoffs predictions start off with a Three !!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:36 am
Shit!! Just realised my predictions the same as Geoff’s!!!!!!!!!!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:36 am
Lets hope he starts Theo, think that’s his eventual position anyway rather than a winger. If Wenger wants a winger, he should sodding buy one rather than repeatedly stick strikers out wide. Vela, come home
We seem to have a sticky situation with Bendtner i.e. he’s too similar to Ade to partner him and ooh, they hate each other’s guts
After three games without a win this takes on the appearance of a must win game for the Arse, particularly as we can count on Fulham to do precisely nothing for us. Villa are a good side and well organised but at home, even with our absentees, we should too much for them
Hope RvP doesn’t get rushed back, but will be interesting if he makes the bench against Milan
February 29, 2008 at 9:37 am
Steve this arabic joke is sooooo funny
في يوم من الايام ذهب الرجل عبدالله قاس الى زوجته فقال لها لما لم تحضري العشاء فقبضته من جلبابه و القة به من فوق الدار الى فوق سطح الجيران وفي الغد التقى به جاره فقال له سمعة صوتا ياتي من دارك فقال له الرجل الخائف من زوجته كانت جلبابي هي الساقطة فقال له ا…
February 29, 2008 at 9:39 am
Jimmyfingers agree with you 100%
Weekend wine recommendation please !
February 29, 2008 at 9:42 am
montana savignon blanc, new zeland marlboro (sic) region even has a screw top just for you!its turned into the poster boy for the region but is still consistant everytime,
February 29, 2008 at 9:44 am
Anyhow, i think tommorows game is going to be mega tough, Carew is a player ( like hasselbaink, drogba, rooney ) who always does well historically against us, and he will be a fucking handful from corners, freekicks tommorow. Big Phil has got to take a yellow card at some point and fucking take the lanky cuntus right out,
They are a pacey team like us and it should produce a superb spectacle, but as we have one eye on tuesdays mega clash over in italia, i can see us dropping 2 points and scraping a 1-1 or a 2-2.
As long as we don’t go 1 or 2 nil up and squander the lead i won’t be too dissapointed, as i firmly believe we are going to do the usual 1-0 down early doors and then plaster the brummie fucks for the rest of the game and hit the post 13 times, have 4 cast iron pens denied and meet a goalkeeper on super duper mega strength steroids who will make saves that would put a cartoon goalkeeper to shame. Finally nabbing a toepoker in the 85th minute to get a point.
Ok the lead at the top of the table may be down to a solitary point by saturday evening but i have always maintained that the trip to old trafford will determine the title this season. As long as we are level or 1 point behind when we go up there…we can win it!
February 29, 2008 at 9:44 am
and they still moan on about our red cards, who gives a fuck,
February 29, 2008 at 9:44 am
JF, agree one of the 2 will probably be leaving in the summer, I would have said 2-3 months comfortably that it would be Bendtner, but seeing as Ade’s started thinking he’s the dog’s dangky bits, be prepared for s summer of specultaion involving him and every fucking CL team in Europe!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:48 am
I think you are definitely Marlborough man Chris youve recommended this before .Bought 6 bottles of Grove Mill Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc yesterday -will try tonite unless Jimmy fingers comes back with one
Steve you want a nippy little player to play alongside Ade -What about shaun wright phillips on a lambretta -you cant get smaller and nippier than that
February 29, 2008 at 9:50 am
how about an oompa loompa on roller skates?
February 29, 2008 at 9:50 am
shit…that is SWP!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:51 am
yeah mike i certainly am, wont drink anything else, odub did ask a specific one last time but i didnt mention it, also decent one in M&S, katuna or something similar,
February 29, 2008 at 9:52 am
Mike, the joke is magic.
Odub, I’m a little worried to be honest. If you see a big eared bloke shitting himself on a dodgy t.v channel, tell my wife i love her.
HOw arreeee THe eYees naW MiiiKKe?????
February 29, 2008 at 9:53 am
Stupid whats your telegraph mate saying now about Flamini and United ?
February 29, 2008 at 9:55 am
Steve this Labrador dog is great and the braille and word recognition programme from Stephen Hawkins is fantastic -Thanks for asking
February 29, 2008 at 9:55 am
Don’t care how good he is if Ade does a Vieira he can fuck off. Why oh why do our players do this to us?
As for wine, where do I start? Mike you seem to have a decent shop near you so I’ll say a Henri Pelle Menetou-Salon, Simon Hackett Chardonnay or Xuri Dansa Iroulegey (doubt you’ll find the last one but happy hunting) for white, Domiane D’Escausses Cuvee Des Drilles Gaillac, Kingston Estate Eminent Petit Verdot or Ciu Ciu Gotico Piceno Rosso for red, none of which should cost more than a tenner. If you feel like slpashing out, ask for Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1996 or Gruaud Larose 1982 and watch the expressions change!
February 29, 2008 at 9:57 am
The flamster to united story persists, lets wait for the sunday rag to blow it open right before the fucking meelan game and demoralise the team!
February 29, 2008 at 9:57 am
So I’ll keep an eye out for you on Bravo Steve!!

Mike try the above!!
February 29, 2008 at 9:59 am
fook the vino chaps, pop down to ASDA and grab a few bottles of this heavenly nectar for tonight.

Tried it chris Kaituna hills -good for the price -great for watching arsenal WINNING
February 29, 2008 at 10:00 am
Jjimmyfingers you the man!!
Right I’m off to Threshers over the weekend to stuck up for the weekend! Maybe I’ll be able to do more than one bottle at a sitting this time!!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:00 am
stupid, how come nobody else is saying it, and why are they waiting till sunday to revel it, id imagine these stories do not need proof to run
February 29, 2008 at 10:01 am
And if it’s Marlborough Sauvignon I firmly believe the Saint Clair Pioneer Block’s are the finest I’ve ever tasted but also try Framingham, Tohu and Tindall
Is there a link about Famini to United? Why on earth would thy want him when they have Hargreaves and Carrick?
February 29, 2008 at 10:02 am
stupid did you see who reviewed your beer
“hugely tempting aroma of bananas; creamy head; firm, silky body.”
Michael Jackson
now that is a fucking classic, i did wonder what happened to bubbles!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:02 am
chris - its a story that is apparently doing the rounds in some press rooms… it is so fucking far fetched that only a peasant paper like the screws of the world will carry it. If any of you lads have any pals in the business, they are sure to have heard about it.
February 29, 2008 at 10:02 am
Jimmyfingers thanks for that will have a chat -Our firm Used to run the pension scheme for Corney and Barrow so will contact them
February 29, 2008 at 10:03 am
Good to have you back Mike. I’ve missed your little wittidoms.
I’m sure most of us will succumb to those old wanking injuries eventually. I need glasses already I think.
February 29, 2008 at 10:03 am
cool jimmy ill keep an eye out for that one but i know ive never seen it yet,
February 29, 2008 at 10:04 am
Before the cuntley cunt cole story was broken by the said paper some 3 years ago, my man told me about it on the tues/weds of that week, but he said none of the dailys would carry such an absurd story!! LOL
February 29, 2008 at 10:08 am
get some black aftershock odub, as well
February 29, 2008 at 10:08 am
Sorely tempted to go on a rant about supermarket wine but will say this: their buyers are wankers and the wine, while sometimes good, usually is bland, commercial and is of a narrow range. Like Mike, head for the independants, that’s where the good shit resides
February 29, 2008 at 10:08 am
we all pissheads on here or what then fellas?
February 29, 2008 at 10:09 am
are you suggesting that the wine buyer for my local ASDA is a serial masturbater?
February 29, 2008 at 10:10 am
When I arm wrestled geoff on Wednesday he was surprised how strong my right arm was -Its down to all the excersise whilst watching youporn -I must admit before the op most women looked attractive -Boy has that been a revelation -And theres some old fuckin bloke staring back at me from the mirror -However watching Arsenal on my big screen tv has been great
February 29, 2008 at 10:11 am
Nothing wrong with having a penchant for the odd bottle or 2 is there Stupid? , as long as it’s in moderation like Steve and come back from lunch completely fucked…At least he come back from lunch!!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:12 am
quite!
February 29, 2008 at 10:13 am
Mike in all seriousness, how are they eyes was the op a total success?
February 29, 2008 at 10:13 am
right..off to beat the bishop.
February 29, 2008 at 10:13 am
I only stepped out Le Grove for ten minutes… now I am completely fucking lost!
You can tell Jimmy is back… all this talk of wine has restored a bit of class to Le Grove! Bravo Jimmy!
February 29, 2008 at 10:14 am
I retract that, I just saw mikes mention of youporn…
That disappoints me mike… its clearly all about Spankwire.com these days!
February 29, 2008 at 10:14 am
Sorry to sound thick but what’s youporn?! Is it just an adult version of youtube with all the naughty bits on show?
February 29, 2008 at 10:15 am
jimmyfingers, I went into Asda once and they were meant to be doing a special on their own brand of Chateaux Neuf Du Pape (similar bottle, slightly different label). Some fuckwit had made a mistake and put the real one on special instead. Got 2 cases for 68 quid. I tried to go back and do it again the next day and they had been cleared out.
February 29, 2008 at 10:16 am
odub,
where have you been? the p0rn industry is collapsing on it self due to free sites
red tube dot com i hear is the best,
February 29, 2008 at 10:17 am
Fuck me Pedro the injury lists got longer today

Right so
Youtube, spankwire,redtube.com! as long as I’m sober enough after tonight’s sessions I’ll be in there! I’m so glad the missus is away this weekend! Squash is sure going to hurt on Saturday morning!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:20 am
Diaby’s back isnt he?! And Djourou, is back in training?!
February 29, 2008 at 10:21 am
Odub you porn is the free porn web site -I got to know about it from Fox news (I am a news Junkie) when they said in the states that the pron industry had fallen by 30 % -because of this site Theres no child animal stuff like steve watches -its regular stuff so get on and have a look -but dont forget protect the eyes
February 29, 2008 at 10:21 am
Good one Steve. Always nice when you pull a fast one on a supermarket. Not quite the same but when I was a student I used to take the ‘reduced’ stickers off the ‘Manager’s specials’ i.e. food near the BB date and stick it on expensive stuff. Got away with it every time.
Right, spankwire.com and redtube.com………….I’ll see you in about 15 minutes
February 29, 2008 at 10:23 am
thieving gits the lot of ya
February 29, 2008 at 10:28 am
Chris -Thanks for asking -Its a week since I had it done
Didnt hurt -10 mins for op but went to Haley street not Laser treatments R US
My long distance was good but need specs for reading .They do blended vision one for reading one for distance .Next day I could read writing on labels on bottles of Viagra .The brain adapts and sorts it out however that can take up to a month so at moment reading fab long distance is slightly blurry in reading eye -seems though to improve every day and it doesnt stop me watching youporn or driving -Cant do housework cos of getting dust in eyes -Think that condition will last FOREVER
February 29, 2008 at 10:29 am
Once walked out of a supermarket without paying for wine I’d hung on the back of the trolley in a wine carrier bag thingy! It was purely an oversight!! Honest!!The girl friend at the time felt guilty and wanted to go all the way back from the car to go and pay for it!!!!!!! I guess I should have known we werent made for each other b4 that little episode.. You live and learn!
So we’re swapping porn and wine stories, and our experiences as shop lifters!!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:31 am
Have you noticed a big difference since the laser treatment Mike?? My missus was encouraging me to have it.
February 29, 2008 at 10:32 am
Mike I live a sheltered life!!
Good to here the op went well, what a touch!! No housework!! Despite having semi perfect vision, I wonder if I should get my eyes lasered just so I can use it as an excuse to get out of getting the hover out!
February 29, 2008 at 10:32 am
Why is it that women never seem to have the same passion for porn? I think it’s great but she thinks it’s perverted. They are such a strange species.
February 29, 2008 at 10:34 am
what is it with women and their suggestions,
try this shampoo with coluring babe, why dont you fucking shout it so every cunt can hear it…
February 29, 2008 at 10:34 am
What is going on here? First women’s football, going shopping and now housework. Has the whole country gone mad?
February 29, 2008 at 10:37 am
Dont be too keen to get away from hoover remember in America they had to withdraw the advert “NOTHING SUCKS LIKE ELECTROLUX”
February 29, 2008 at 10:40 am
Chris dont use it -tried grecian 2000 once and I looked like A FUCKIN 2000 YEAR OLD GREEK
February 29, 2008 at 10:43 am
that doesnt sound good,

L.o.L, you will have to change your user name to Stavros.
February 29, 2008 at 10:44 am
I think I may have to get pissed today. All this vino talk has whetted my appetite.
February 29, 2008 at 10:46 am
fuck steve i havent even had coffee yet, but ill make it up for it this week end,
February 29, 2008 at 10:48 am

February 29, 2008 at 10:50 am
i might have to get back to the office at 1.30. The fucking yanks always release important figures on a Friday. Inconsiderate cunts. Mind you, I will be starting in 40 minutes.
February 29, 2008 at 10:51 am
What the hell do you do for a living Chris, that restricts you from going down the boozer at lunchtime?! Are you a copper, driving instructor or part time priest?!
February 29, 2008 at 10:53 am
i drive 30 miles to work, it fucks things up somewhat, odub,
February 29, 2008 at 10:54 am
I am beginning to have an inherent dislike for you Steve!! How dare you leave for the boozer before me?!!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:54 am
Over 25000 email messages of support for Eduardo -Hope youve all done yours
February 29, 2008 at 10:56 am
Mike sent mine on Monday. Do we know if he won the Carling Cup player of the tournament?
Chris, I feel your pain mate!! Thankfully I work within staggering distance of Bond Street Tube!!
February 29, 2008 at 10:59 am
I have been in work since silly o’clock Odub. My 11.30 is normal people’s 1 o’clock.

Yeah, done mine Mike.

It looks like a done deal he stands at 82% for him
February 29, 2008 at 11:04 am
Bloody Hell!!! I think it’s safe to say he’s winning that!
February 29, 2008 at 11:07 am
Where can I vote?
February 29, 2008 at 11:12 am
The Carling Cup vote for Eduardo is classic. Top lad, and good work on everyone for voting for him
And stuff the lot of you, got the day off today but working tomorrow. I never get sodding Saturdays off and I can’t even listen to the radio. Have to rely on well timed visits to the sandwich shop for footy updates

February 29, 2008 at 11:17 am
Cheers pal, have just voted. He has 82.2% of votes. Good luck to him.
February 29, 2008 at 11:20 am
Yeah JF I’d get the goal update think, most networks have got cheap internet access now anyway, so just go to BBC or SKY and set it to auto refresh.
February 29, 2008 at 11:27 am
Morning Grovers!
I am all about the football news today! I bring good news!
Hleb:
“All I can say is from my side there is nothing going on,”
“I am very proud to play for Arsenal.”
Hleb’s agent, Niki Spilevski, also confirmed the former Stuttgart star was content with life in North London.
“I can understand why clubs would be interested in Alex,”
“But Alex loves life at Arsenal. He feels he is at the best club in the world.”
Now why can’t the Flamster come out and say something like that?
I get the goals thing Steve, its expensive, but well worth the money when you live in Sunny wigan! I think it only comes with 3g?
Big game tomorrow, I hope the fans tear the roof off with noise!
COME ON YOU GOONERS!!!!!!!!

February 29, 2008 at 11:47 am
Do use my phone when I get a chance, but if it’s busy then I can’t. Stupid punters, it’s always me me me with them. ‘What’ll go well with salmon?’ ‘It’s not too oaky is it’ blah blah blah. I had two cunts wanting a ‘vegetal’ red the other day. That’s the first time in about 8 years of trading wine I’ve ever been asked that so I flogged them a 1997 Sarget, which is the second wine of Gruaud-Larose, a top St Julien 2eme Cru (should be about £20 if you Grovers feel like splashing out, effing be-ooh-tiful so it is) citing that ‘Cabernet Sauvignon has notes of wild mint and eucalyptus’. In future I’ll tell to fuck off, I’m listening to the football
Good to hear that from Hleb. With the money we have and our current resurgence there’s absolutely no reason why we should lose any players this summer (that is, if we don’t want to lose them). The move to the Grove (the real one, not our little corner of the internet, although I feel that this too has played a part) has pushed us into the top tier of European clubs, and no-one is now bigger, or richer, or more likely to win anything than us. I don’t have a shiney metal arse, but if I did I’d tell Juve, Inter, Madrid, Barca and Manu to bite it

dont ask me who the trainer is and who the fucking driver is, i aint got a scooby, dont know jack bout ponies… but i just had lunch with a fella who does..take a hint!
February 29, 2008 at 12:20 pm
btw, this is NOT inside info, this fella is a self confessed horse racing addict and makes a fucking fortune on betfair, which he does for a full time living..and a bloody good living it is.
February 29, 2008 at 12:21 pm
fancy a punt, might stick some folding on that
February 29, 2008 at 12:22 pm
i would say his strike rate with the tips he gives me is about 70%
February 29, 2008 at 12:23 pm
i have seen his betfair statements online and he clears….NO FUCKING LIE….around 20 grand a fucking month!!
and i’m a city broker and it his wages scare the shiit out of me!
February 29, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Stupid, you are in for some stick on Monday if.
a) Your horse doesn’t come in
b) Your story doesn’t come in!
I have never had a punt on a horse before, but I might just stick a fiver on it!
Its quiet time on Le Grove… the Friday drinkers have started early!
February 29, 2008 at 12:28 pm
LOL - i would happily take some stick if the flamster story does not come about, but i fear the worst… but this horse wILL win.
February 29, 2008 at 12:32 pm
guys been in a boring ass meeting and about to head to the boozer, I see no one’s taken me up on the drink tomorrow so fuck off you tossers!! Only joking!!
Stupid never bet on a horse in my life, let me get this straight, just go into any bookies and ask to bet my life’s savings on always Bold 5.35 Wolverhampton.. Correct?
February 29, 2008 at 12:34 pm
no would never advocate punting life savings but a cheeky score would pay for a round or two
February 29, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Sorry Lou, but I had to steal it! (Cultured left foot blogger…)
He ripped it from ATVO:
On Eduardo’s recovery and whether suggestions of him spending less than the estimated 9 months on the sidelines would be possible,
A: “He’s a brave boy, very hard-working boy. A sensational attitude, so that’s good. That gives you a lot of hope that he can come back earlier (than 9 months from now).”
Q: Immediately after the game, you said something about Martin Taylor. You took those back. What made you rethink?”
A: “Because at the end of the day, I don’t know what was behind a tackle like that. And I don’t want to make him the guy who everybody’s after because I don’t know him well enough. And at the end of the day as well, I thought anyway I cannot change anything about it now. And we do not want to be seen as a club of hate. We want to be seen as a club with a positive attitude. And so that’s why I thought the best is to take care as much as we can of Eduardo. Only Martin Taylor knows what he’s done, and why he’s tackled like that. And at the end of the day, it’s his problem, he will have to live with that.”
Q: “One of the other issues thrown up about the game was about William Gallas in the last few minutes. Have you spoken with him?”
A: “Yes of course, it’s destined to… I feel he’s a highly committed guy, who’s there to win games. And he was upset with… the incident. Of course it’s always better if you keep in control. But he wanted just… he’s so committed, William, that he just got over. It was too much on that day for him.
Q: “Of course you’re still 3 points clear. But you’ve lost a big player and 2 big points. Will you try to address those problems?”
A: “Well, overall, I believe it’s better you’re 3 points ahead than 3 points behind. (Smile) 3 weeks ago, we were behind, you know? And it’s just an incident, and I believe we deserved to win this game. And that’s the most important. We went 1-0 down, we came back to win 2-1; and it was a very very controversial penalty allowed in the last minute. And er, but we cannot master that. What we can master is our attitude, our calm, our commitment, our focus. We want to influence what makes us win. I believe we will do it. And I believe that the next Villa game will show that.”
Other bits and pieces about not rushing RvP back, having Diaby back, you know already. Song is about “2 weeks” away, after picking up an injury of knee ligament from ACN. Arsene even said with a “well, what can we do?” smile that we’re still without the ACN players long after the tournament.
For players who’ll be back for Milan, it’s Eboue (cos it’s just domestic suspension) and maybe Kolo.
February 29, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Odub, small and beautiful at about 1400! See you there!
February 29, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Cheers pal! Don’t like my chances of finding a bookies in Mayfair but will have a wander after the vinofest!
February 29, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Best of luck all.
February 29, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Stupid, you’re mate is a genius, picking the favourite and all
What the hey, the bet went on
February 29, 2008 at 12:58 pm
shame to see the girls lose last night. they played some nice football and desvered somthing out of the game. as for tomorrow a must win game 2 nil ade and walcot
February 29, 2008 at 1:20 pm
it certainly was terry a damn shame,
i am really looking forward to tommorrow, ill be watching it with a pal who is a villa fan , sadly only on my 37″ TV, out friend odub got a ticket so he is on cloud nine!
February 29, 2008 at 1:21 pm
jimmy - a winner is a winner
February 29, 2008 at 1:30 pm
which t v station is it on chris.
February 29, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Right, I’m off to walk the dogs and do active things for the rest of the day before I undo all my good work and go to the pub. I’ll be back later, covered in mud and half cut. Not that it matter here
February 29, 2008 at 1:34 pm
going to have a punt on the tip you gave stupid dont know much about horses so my mate will put it on for me
February 29, 2008 at 1:34 pm
ive the tv connected to my pc terry so ill be streaming,
February 29, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I tried sopcast yesterday I think ive cracked it but setanta show matches live on saturday afternoon in Ireland I hope it will be on there
February 29, 2008 at 1:47 pm
no terry its man u tommorrow, you might get it on fox though, or setanta north america,
http://whiteratonline.com/sport.htm
the above site is english and therefore a good place to get english commentary,
February 29, 2008 at 1:49 pm
http://myp2p.eu/competition.php?competitionid=&part=sports&discipline=football
use this link 20 minutes before any arsenal game kick off, it will provide a sopcast link.
February 29, 2008 at 1:54 pm
thanks for the tips chris and stupid seems a bit weird calling you stupid
February 29, 2008 at 1:55 pm
no probs terry, yup stupid is a silly moniker…but as previously stated…stupid by name, usually stupid by nature.
February 29, 2008 at 1:55 pm
yeah stupid that is my site of choice, but terry if it starts becoming jittery just pick a different link as invariably they do not improve but always log on a while before the match as stupid suggests
February 29, 2008 at 1:59 pm
tuv is consistant, tvants takes and age to log on, sop cast is good also, ustream never works and media player is generally not good enough to watch but it depends on the guys sending, so pick the best KPS thats available, ill be here tommorrow if i can help before it starts
February 29, 2008 at 2:00 pm
would have been a decent game for sky/set to broadcast, fucking muppets always choose a shite game.
February 29, 2008 at 2:01 pm
its total bollox and i take it its itv4 for CL as fucking usual
February 29, 2008 at 2:01 pm
oh and dont get me going on those mutha fukas ITV, the fucking cunts up norf always get ITV1 and we get relegated to ITV4 when we play on the same night in thr champs league. How the fuck is manure v lyon a bigger game than us v meelan?
MUGS
February 29, 2008 at 2:16 pm
have to agree with that it is the same in Ireland r t e show the two northern cunts ever time have to go into the sky box to get i t v 4.Still it beats having to listen to the pricks on there
February 29, 2008 at 2:19 pm
do you not like eammon dunphy, john giles and a certain legend that is liam brady,?!?!?!
February 29, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Chris that white rat online looks useful thanks
February 29, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Afternoon Grovers, I’ve been beating the shit out of golf balls today but now I’m back!
So I see views on porn sites and masterbation, laser surgery to cure that and much talk about Vino, not a lot of football talk other than you seem to favour Bendtner, don’t like Ade much, are fed up with Flamini but all love Hleb.
And only Odub sharing my 3 nil prediction.
What’s happening?
February 29, 2008 at 2:24 pm
we are a fickle bunch geoff, but i fancy theo to poach a goal or 2 tommorrow,
February 29, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I will be disappointed if Theo doesn’t start Chris, it’s obvious that the other two don’t get on.
February 29, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Liam Brady gets out numbered by the orther cunts on there still he trys his best but they talk over him the cunts
February 29, 2008 at 2:31 pm
i have been watching the body launguage of the two of them, remember flaminis rocket the other week, they did not hug each other, in fact avoided each other, but there was some positve hand gesters last week of “sorry” so may be it is being forgotten about,
February 29, 2008 at 2:34 pm
yeah terry you are right there but dunphy when pissed is classic, calling people bird brains and such like, match of the day should be more “call it like it is”but that aint ever gonna happen,
souness is usual pissed when on as well, they’d never get away with that in the UK
February 29, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I just read on Reuters that Nikki B is starting up top?
February 29, 2008 at 2:39 pm
yeah setanta are suggesting the same thing, does that mean he might rest ade ahead of the millan game, and put theo up front,
February 29, 2008 at 2:43 pm
he shouldn’t rest anyone! play the best team and get the wins in.
February 29, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Great minds i’d just picked up same thing from reuters
February 29, 2008 at 2:45 pm
watching the highlights of the brum again match it did look like they were geting on I watched Ade and he didnt look up and shoot himself only for Talory it would have been a goal he did pass the next one and nikki pulled it wide. Also nikki gave him a hand up off the ground after that. So it might be that they are o k again
February 29, 2008 at 2:46 pm
thats what i couldnt understand about the man u game, why not start ade and try and get a goal and defend it, but then to bring him on in an attempt to get 4 goals,
we need to start as we mean to continue and go for the jugular, it only aston villa, our record is excellent against them in 10 years
February 29, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Dunphy when pissed is great he also nailed his banner to the gooners this season
February 29, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Chris when youre in competition with Renaldo to be top goal scorer I dont blame ade for taken major chances -Bendtner did pull ade off the floor when he was down so maybe the relationship aint that bad -I am sure a motivational “glare ” every now and then from Gallas will make it all right
February 29, 2008 at 2:55 pm
yeah mike i want that golden boot for him, but i have to say i did smack my head and shout at the tv for not passing the ball last week, but a third goal would have ended the contest, the killer instinct is needed tommorrow
yeah terry he has removed himself from keanos ass this year for a fucking change
February 29, 2008 at 2:56 pm
scary tought a motivational glare from Gallas
February 29, 2008 at 3:10 pm
I’m back, went a bit further today….
1 bottle of red and a pint of guinness, and still fucking pissed despite the fish&chips
Pedro will see you down the S&B tomorrow 2.00 pronto!
Anyone else popping in?
February 29, 2008 at 3:15 pm
hey odub you shoudl sneak in a few baby guinness’s this weekend when the misses away, will get ya proper fucked
February 29, 2008 at 3:17 pm
wish I could odub
February 29, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Good idea!! got 2 bottles of red already, get 4 litre size bottles of import guinness and happy days!!
i take it Steve’s still down the pub, and where the fucks Bud?
Djourou & RVP back in trainning today, but will not be involved V Villa or Milan latest from Arsenal.com
February 29, 2008 at 3:22 pm
i mean the shot odub, i got most of brentwood addicted to it,
tia maria and a bailyes head, in shot size if you dont know it
February 29, 2008 at 3:25 pm
That sounds dangerous chris!! tia marie does funny things to me!
February 29, 2008 at 3:30 pm
trust me,
February 29, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Do you reckon steves been abducted by the arabs for taking the piss out of gooner Jeremy Beadle and Odub who is Tia Marie she sounds an interesting “girl” if she does funny things to you -Take your video camera and you could star on youporn
February 29, 2008 at 3:38 pm
not a bad shout at all to start nick and theo up front for villa game, as they clearly get on and will at least pass to each other.
whichever way you look at it, the ade/nick relationship will never ever be the same again, and as we will need to play a 4-5-1 against meelan, why not bench ade?
to be honest, i am fucked off with the big fella in recent weeks, his head has clearly grown massively and his comments about being better than eto and henry have been the begining of his downfall in recent weeks.
but what really pissed me right off, and i only just remembered this..was the way he just trundled off back to the centre circle when theo hit the 2nd goal last week, everyone else was celebrating with theo but the fucking big headed cunt looked well pissed off, pissed of that HE has not scored.
SELFISH FUCKING CUNT.
February 29, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Stupid, I agree. Since the spuds game I’ve noticed there’s and arrogance about the guy that almost reminds me of TH14!
It’s almost like he’ started thinking he’s the stra of the show, and everyone else is a bit player!! I noticed during the Theo celebrations, all the forward and midfileld players celebrated with him apart from Ade! aint the first time it’a happened either! Just watch, last seaon he was mouthing off about Manure wanting him, next summer will def be intresting for all the fucking wrong reaosns!!
February 29, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Getting the shakes now thinking of that wine in the wine fridge calling me Mike -Mike
Dont drink til the suns over the yard arm however its pissing down here so here goes nothing -Grove Mill here I come -and I really fancy fish and chips too .Wifes got a sore throat so shes gone to suck a fishermans friend so am on my own
February 29, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I think so too Mike!
Steve it was nice knowing you pal, but taking the mick out the Arabs was always going to be yuor downfall. Hope it was quick and painless mate!
February 29, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Its terry on the fucking phone to him all the time filling his head in.
February 29, 2008 at 3:44 pm
as in th14
February 29, 2008 at 3:47 pm
hang on a minute ladies…. tia fucking maria and baileys????????
take it easy on the hard stuff now girls!!!!!
February 29, 2008 at 3:51 pm
3 points tomorrow, do Milan on Tuesday and happy days!!
Stupid I don’t know who chris drinkigs with, but they must have a cast iron stomach!!!
February 29, 2008 at 3:52 pm
can see the meelan game going all the way to penalties.
February 29, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I really hope your wrong stupid I cant stand watching penalties it reminds me of watching doctor who from behind the couch when I was a kid -Phew this grove mills great
February 29, 2008 at 4:01 pm
I hope not!!! me and penalties dont get on very well! vague memory of England V Germany Wembley June?July 1996 and 8 cans of Diamond White not good! Also remember 2001 V Galatasaray! Painfull!
February 29, 2008 at 4:03 pm
…….and stupid I dont mind him being jealous of others getting goals cos hopefully it will inspire him to get more -We dont want him getting his comeuppance whilst he is at arsenal do we -especially this season ???
February 29, 2008 at 4:10 pm
taylor has blamed A W for all the criticism he got for breaking eddys leg fucking dickhead should be shot
February 29, 2008 at 4:15 pm
terry i saw that mate!! i suppose him breaking the poor sods fucking leg didnt have anything to do with it did it?!!! the fucking prat has got some fucking nerve!
Anyway, we’ve done the whole kill Taylor and all things brummie bit earlier this week, let’s be happy and positive lads!!
February 29, 2008 at 4:21 pm
yeah Terry and he links wengers comments with the death threats he received too -CUNT -he started it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 29, 2008 at 4:22 pm
no probs odub just reading that shite made my blood boil over it now onwards and upwards 2 nil to the gooners tomorrow
February 29, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Gents, going back to the pub as nothing happening in my office!!
Have a good one, See Pedro and whoever else turns up at the S&B tomorrow.
Enjoy the game either way!
COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!
February 29, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Pedro Physio has just up dated injuries -It has removed all the very doubtfuls as above and put a slight doubt against Diaby
February 29, 2008 at 4:55 pm
i like team players, ade i am still not over convinced with, his touch and general passing ability is terrible…but he has been given a good run and as metioned many times before..any half decnet striker would bang in 20 easy a season in this team with all thechances we create.
nick defo has a better first touch and overall better passing abilty… i wonder how he would have done had he played all the games ade has…
but then again, how fucking big would his head be by now?
February 29, 2008 at 4:57 pm
So big Barratt homes would have to do the scaffolding
February 29, 2008 at 5:02 pm
fucking massive he could not hit a barn door against manure thats what started all the trouble with Ade
February 29, 2008 at 5:04 pm
you need playing time in the premier league, look how furking useless drogba was in his entire first season? nobody would have ever have predicted how he woulld come on for the experience. Ade has shown this to be true this season…..bendter has these lovely little flicks and touches and combines so well with the team overall.
February 29, 2008 at 5:06 pm
OK guys off now am cooking dinner for my neighbours wife (and yeah Mrs Mike is there ) so must go and do all the stir fry suff .Nice to know Geoff posts -fucks off comes back -critisises the content -fucks off and you dont hear from him -Must be an infestation of gay spiders in his office has driven him to the Pub .Will check later to see if steve has escaped from the Arabs -have a great evening and please god a win tomorrow and I dont care by how many !!!!!!!!!
February 29, 2008 at 5:06 pm
ok lads all the best with the nag running in half an hours time
i’m off on the razzle dazzle down abacus in the city
toodle pip
February 29, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Ade can score Bendtner looks awkward and sometimes uninterested, Ade and Theo for me tomorrow.
Just heard from bud, I told him to get on, says he was busy, my arse!
February 29, 2008 at 5:19 pm
aaahhhh a Member of the Royale family has posted -Dont get ratted tomorrow Jim (geoff ) have a good one …and dont forget the old lady (and I dont mean Mrs Geoffs ) -sorry Mrs geoffs its not personal -its mans stuff
February 29, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Listen Geoff, every now and again I have to go and meet with clients and attend to business which pays for the pleasure of being able to afford to sit all day and do fuck all apart from post on le-grove. Unfortunately for all concerned, today was one of those days and the a couple of mighty fine lloyds syndicates took preference….. Jeez buddy, we arenkt all millionaires and don’t all own Astons… Some of us are still working at it!!!!
See you grovers at the game tomorrow, pre match meet at Small and Beautiful again…. This time inside…. Satudays are q
