Fab four solution that WILL win the league

by & filed under Uncategorized.

Okay on a day with no news I am proposing a bold new future for a starting line up for Arsenal football Club, when fit of course.

Ade and Bendtner up top, both 6’4″ and 6′ 5″ respectively a handful for any team to defend and both can head a ball.

Left wing of Rosicky or Hleb, whoever is fit and right wing of Theo or Robin the boy wonder, again whoever is fit.

Robin on the right? You may well say, but he plays there for Holland and with a front four from that six, we would be unstoppable.

Then we would win the two remaining trophies and in the summer get in two proper wingers, which is what I think we have been missing.

Cesc has again reiterated his love of Arsenal and the boss, which is always good to read and the Flamster only has 2 days in which to sign his contract to make my rash, post Milan prediction come true.

I am one of the few, that although disappointed with the Wigan result, thought we were unlucky, I think that Gilberto has come to the end and sadly it shows in his game, but the rest looked good, if a little unlucky, and don’t forget in seasons gone by we may have been defending in numbers and pinned to the wall against teams like this.

This really reminds me of the 89 season Grovers when we drew 2-2 with Wimbledon and I was suicidal, but we went on to win it and I feel a karma with that time.

So fear not Grovers we WILL prevail.

It appears Pedro is reading books about Roman wives, he’s currently on the wife of Claudius and mother of Nero, put the bastard book away and get out a copy of shoot magazine, it’s the football season and you need to get your head straight!

Have a great day Grovers, and Arsene, think about my team selection concept, it will work, it’s time to be bold.

    Geoff, you reminded me of that terrible walk home after the Wimbledon game in ’89. One of the most disappointing nights of my life (and I have been divorced 3 times!). As you say, it set up the amazing final game.

    As to the frontline you suggest. I agree entirely, we need to be brave . Sagna is a good enough full back to cope defensively, and we should let teams worry about our attacking possibilties rather than us worry about theirs.

    Now the wife of Claudius…. there was a woman with a healthy appetite !!

  2. Pedro

    I’m onto the Franks now… and the grand acquisitors… very interesting!

    Not as interesting as your proposition though!

    That works for me, RvP has a great cross and can score a long ranger… he could be as effective as Pires and if Walcott was looking good, you could put him down the middle to play a little and large combo with one of the monsters up front.

    We’re going to Old Trafford to win the league again, the omens are good!

    Its good to hear Senderos rallying the troops, its going to be a tense finish and for once I am glad he is on our team!

  3. Mike (the neighbour)

    Morning grovers -glad to be back after the computer crashed .Bud I really appreciate what you did for me in relation to the season ticket -but as my computer kept crashing I didnt get your message and believed you had off loaded yours to corporates and was acquiring the “old ladies ” tickets .Thanks again and I apologise for the coneheads reference last night it was just in jest -and geoff still insists you are standing on a box in the picture cos he is the same height if not taller than you -how long is this dillusional attitude gonna last ???.Like geoff I thought there was some good stuff from the team and as I was watching the game with the bear he was composed and really believed we were gonna score -(so did I ) especially as there was light hearted banter with the wigan supporting Bar steward -usually the bear offers the gallas stare to ward off the offending supporters-is he mellowing -well NO !!! look forward to dipping in and out if you excuse the expression today
    and pedro this son shagging story youre reading isnt healthy -ive heard of keeping it in the family but this aint good

  4. Steve

    Wimbledon and Derby at home were a fucking nightmare that season. I was 16 and very teary. I fell down the steps getting out after Derby and broke 2 fingers. A great day all round, NOT.

    I can’t access the site via newsnow for some reason. I have had to go right round the fucking houses to get here.

  5. Smudger

    Not sure about Robin on the right. He plays on the right side of a front 3 for Holland, rather than right midfield. Although maybe the Dutch formation is one that would suit us, considering we have no “genuine” wingers. Cesc Flamini and Hleb/Rosicky in the middle; Robin, Ade and Vela/Walcott up top. Oh, and Eboue sent to play for Accrington Stanley reserves please.

  6. Geoff

    I listened to the Derby game in the car outside on my drive and that bastard Saunders scored, I refused to leave the car for an hour after the game!

  7. Mike (the neighbour)

    Big Raddy glad youre back -I noticed after the bad defeat you disappeared -I asumed you were either on a ballet tour (as part of the audience ) or was so pissed off you wouldnt post -could you keep posting as things have gotten more positive since you reappeared -Good luck to you sir

  8. Steve

    Saunders shat all over big TA that day. Adams always struggled against players of that ilk in his younger days.

  9. DeeOzGooner

    new formation wud be awesome…but le boss would not dare! but then what do i know?!

    theres always the mouthwatering 4-3-3 that gooners always talk abt but never materialises..how bout:

    almunia
    sagna toure gallas clichy
    cesc flamini hleb
    persie ade eduardo(when fit)

    that IMHO wud strike fear into the greatest of defenses(wait we did that last wk)…but yeh…its nice to dream!!

  10. Steve

    Mike is back and as controversial as ever.

    Anything interesting happen on here yesterday? I was very drunk and couldn’t see, let alone type.

  11. Steve

    We don’t need a new formation. Just get our sicknotes back and things are all ticketyboo. Rosicky right, Hleb left and the awesome twosome in the centre. RVP and Ade banging them in up front. We’ll beat Boro by 5 on Saturday. Mark my words.

  12. Pedro

    We have a manc attack on…

    Some super hardcore fan from essex is going crazy with abuse!

    Thanks wordpress for the spam filter!

    Try newsnow again steve, I just got in through it.

  13. Mike (the neighbour)

    Pedro this is the latest physioroom injury list -bit longer than I thought-

    T Walcott thigh Muscle Strain no return date
    V Diaby Calf Muscle Strain 15th Mar 08
    A Song MCL Knee Ligament Injury 15th Mar 08
    E Da Silva Broken Leg no return date
    K Toure Calf Muscle Strain 9th Mar 08 very doubtful
    T Rosicky Hamstring Injury 23rd Mar 08

  14. Mike (the neighbour)

    maybe physio rooms going off the boil cos up to now they have been pretty accurate -hope youre right steve

  15. Big Raddy

    Wouldn’t it be crazy if Song came back to ‘resurrect’ our season ! His performance in Africa was a massive shock to me. I thought he was totally shite.

    As to the Derby ’89 game. …. I had a North Bank season ticket in those days, and the diappointment was so huge. It was quiet as WHL at the end of the game. I never forgave Dean Saunders .

    Pedro, I am more of a Cathars man. Those Franks were such violent fellows

  16. chris

    there is a certain logic to the formation, cesc has said he is playin a more complete game and not so worried about scoring, although we all wish for more.
    imagine ade rvp nikki up front together, devestating

  17. Big Raddy

    Thinking of not forgiving….. Fat Micky Quinn.

    I recall him scoring a hatrick at THOF for Coventry (I think it was the first game of the season). Never forgave him, and he had a ‘tache……. Bastard

  18. Geoff

    They got tonked in Toulouse by the Catholics though didn’t they Raddy? I never forgave those bastards, that began the inquisition.

    What was the quote? the inquisitor said, kill them all, how will I know which are Cathars and which are Catholics the soldier said, kill them all god will know. Bit of a cunt that inquisitor.

  19. Steve

    Raddy, I spoke about that the other day. Now he talks bollocks with that cunty little manc Terry Christian. The most annoying voice in the history of annoying voices. In fact if there was an international annoying voice competition he pisses all over Stephen Hawkin’s robot styley electronic thing.

  20. Big Raddy

    Top marks , Geoff.

    The Cathars built those amazing castles in Southern France and Northern Spain in an attempt to delay the coming inquisition. But as the great man said “no-one expects the Spanish inquisition”

    Back to football….. did you notice that SAF played Rooney at CVH when Ferdinand went in goal on Saturday. 1-0 down to Old Arsenal and he does that !! I guess he didn’t want a replay…

  21. Gunnersaurus

    I don’t think the formation needs that much tinkering and I think the team is doing a good job with our current wide men – Clichy and Sagna.

    It would be a good formation if we were losing but I think we’ve been scoring freely when our first teamers are fit anyway.

    If we have signed this Bosnian, he is a wide man who can score, bit of a free kick specialist according to reports. We also have vela coming back, who plays out wide but is more traditionally a striker.

    Listened to talk sport defending Taylor again. Apparently if you have 20 tackles like taylors one, only a few will end in a broken leg, so blatter should butt out because challenges like that are ok. Then Irani started going on about having no contact. That guy is a fucking air head.

    I am sure that only 1 in a 100 drink driving incidents end in a crash, shall we legalise that again?

    You let thick people take over the airwaves, this is what you get.

  22. Big Raddy

    One of the few beautiful days here in Copenhagen. So, it will soon be time to get out the bike and go to town. In order to stare at all the sensationally beautiful Scandinavian girls

  23. charybdis1966

    My only memory of May 89 was being in the pub with my friends and the landlord announcing over the tannoy that Arsenal had won 2-0 and that we were champions.

    Living in London, of course, all my mates sneered at the result (a mixture of Liverpool, ManUre and West Ham fans) but I inwardly punched the air.

    As I’m old school Arsenal I’ve grown up being abused for being a Goon so I don’t mind the media/FA/neutralds hating us – it was no better when we were boring Arsenal with the likes of SAelly/Morrow/Hillier in midfield.

  24. Steve

    Being in Copenhagen for the CWC final Raddy I can concur that the girls are absolutely stunning. I don’t think I saw a munter all day. Apart from those geezer bird things following the Arsenal. The price of beer was eye watering too if I remember correctly. Although you don’t exactly need beer goggles there do you?

  25. Big Raddy

    you are right, steve. the price of a pint is between £4.50 and £6.00 depending on the hostelry. Even a cup of tea is over £3 !!

    Still, there are compensations ……

    Parma…. what a tense game that was. I was sitting next to the crew and Johnny Jensen came over and started talking to us. JJ, a true Danish legend is now at Getafe in Spain as assistant to Laudrup

    And I was there when Jenen scored (we lost at home to QPR

  26. Big Raddy

    Just want to say how much I enjoy the site. It is good to be with other true gooners with memories as long as mine.

    Thanks for making me welcome

  27. Steve

    It’s a great site for proper Gooners Raddy. The originators and regulars are all top blokes. It’s the only site I bother visiting.

  28. Pedro

    You generally find that the more McDonaldized a place is, the uglier the women. I don’t know how bad it is in Denmark… but I bet you don’t have as many fatties as us!

    America… the UK… we are fast food heaven… which is certainly attributable to the standard of lady!

    Geoff was out there for the CWC final and was so pissed he thought we dicked all over Parma! haha!

    There were some seriously powerful names playing for Parma then… Zola, Asprilla, Brolin (When he wasn’t fat), Bennarivo, Sensini… They had the lot!

    Look at our line up!

    1 SEAMAN David (G)
    2 DIXON Lee
    3 WINTERBURN Nigel
    4 DAVIS Paul 5 BOULD Steve
    6 ADAMS Anthony (C)
    7 CAMPBELL Kevin
    8 MORROW Stephen
    9 SMITH Alan
    10 MERSON Paul
    11 SELLEY Paul

    Substitutes

    13 MILLER Alan (G)
    12 LINIGHAN Andrew
    14 McGOLDRICK Eddie
    15 PARLOUR Raymond
    16 DICKOV Paul

  29. Big Raddy

    That’s right. A cracker to the left of the goal, in front of the North Bank. I had moved to the Clock End by then, in order to give some banter to the away fans.

    Happy Days… if not great football

  30. chris GOONA

    what’s all the talk on a 4-3-3… You really think Wenger is going to play ade, van persie and bendtner… bendtner is ok, but when van persie came on against Wigan you can see the quality of his touch, vision, even though he ain’t match fit. 4-4-2 all the way, always has been, Clichy and Sagna would be completely wasted in a 4-4-3 also. And at this stage of the season we should just stick to what we know best.

  31. Big Raddy

    When we arrived in CPH airport, there were loads of police with dogs,. One of my mates had some blow and he was terrified !!

    We walked from the centre of town to the Parken (about 3 miles) and the streets were totally packed with gooners. It was fantastic. We outnumbered the Parma fans by about 4 to 1.

    As to the game, I think I held my breath from when Smudger scored until the final whistle. We were superb as only a George Graham team could be.

    Damn sight better than the Galatasary game… which is scrubbed from my memory.

  32. Big Raddy

    Chris, this is about opinion and playing with ideas. Of course, AW will stick to a starting line up of 4-4-2. But when things get sticky, this is a great solution, and an opprtunity to be more attacking.

    The whole structure of Arsenal’s tactics from U-11′s to the first team is based on 4-4-2, and there is no way AW will change that.

  33. Steve

    People fail to mention that Wenger quite regulary adopts different formations during games if things aren’t working. Hleb behind 1, Hleb/Rosicky behind 2, Walcott coming inside, Fab playing behind a front 2. We are probably the least regimented team in world football.

    The reason for this is the intelligence of the type of player Arsene goes for. they can perform anywhere because the are all great footballers. How often do you see our players falling out of nightclubs at 4 in the morning? Intelligent, professionals to a man. That’s because they are nurtured by the best boss in the world and he looks at them as people before he buys them.

    And we don’t have many englishmen.

  34. Geoff

    I remember Copenhagen and UEFA banned drinking, so I was sitting outside the ground necking white wine wrapped in a brown paper bag, got in the stadium and all the bars were open, so I went for it.

    We were all over them, when I saw the game again I couldn’t belleve it! what a night!

  35. Pedro

    Agree Chris, for this season leave it the same, but for next season it could be a tasty option! It would have been a great option against Wigan, remember the days of us going for the 4 pronged attack… Kanu, Bergy, Overmars and Henry (I think that was right?).

    He doesn’t really do that anymore?

    The formation could work if Nikki B is still here, I fear he’ll depart in the summer. We’ll have a bit of a striking pile up next year – Nikki B, Vela, Walcott, Eddy, RvP, Ade and maybe even Jay Simpson will enter the fray?

    CWC was one of my first memories of absolutely shitting myself for a whole game! What a victory!

    When I’m out in Camden they have those dogs at the station, its so amusing when the dog sits down in front of someone and they start stroking it, not knowing they are about to get nicked!

    That game was a damn site better than a year later against, Zara… Zara… I can’t say it…

  36. Big Raddy

    oooh gay Paree. fine time had until the game. “did wrighty or kev score, right in front of us?” “it couldn’t have been that ex-spurs cunt could it.” “i can take defeat but not that !!” “FFS seamo…what happened?”

    great day…. shit result. and they stopped the metro when we got out after having been tear gassed by the french police for doing absolutely nothing. I fucking hate the French (well, not all of them)

    gotta go. have a good day chaps, and thanks for the bater

  37. Steve

    My brother collapsed next to me when Parma scored. He was laid out on the floor whilst 20,000 other gooners spotted the linesman’s flag go up. It was a beautiful sunny day and a warm night. I was bolloxed.

  38. Steve

    Have a good day Raddy.

    That game in Paris was a nightmare. The French police were a fucking joke that night. They were the same in Lens some years later. If only they had been so fucking resolute when Hitler came to town.

  39. Bud

    I’ve given up reading all the comments on the “Le-Grove Bookclub”…… if we are going all librarian, can I recommend “Penguins Stoppoed Play”. the best book I have ever read by a country mile. A true story and refreshingly, as funny as fuck !!!!!!!!!

  40. Steve

    I’m rather partial to the ‘Thomas and freinds’ collection. You get all the pleasure of Thomas the Tank Engine without having to listen to that scouse cunt.

  41. Odub

    Morning all nice to see the banter’s started nice and early!

    Intresting suggestion for formation BTW, but we know our esteemed manager wouldn’t change his tried and trusted 4-4-2!

    One ambition I am hoping to fulfil this season is to watch an away game in Europe, never been, and would a decent away day before the end of this season. Pray for a decent draw, fancy a trip to Schalke!!!

  42. chris

    Imperium – Robert Harris, but i would imagine pedro has already read this

    odub have you not registered with uefa for moscow, have your passport and visa card ready

  43. Steve

    Odub, due to kid constraints I have unfortunately had to pull the plug on euro adventures but I can assure you that they are always fantastic (Torino apart). If you wish to use my season ticket to obtain one I shall let you have the details as and when. I have loads of away credits and it would increase your chances of obtaining a ticket through the club.

  44. Bud

    Well I have done 22 European Away games (including 3 finals), the last 2 though was against Villareal (THE BEST !!!!!) and then Barca in Paris……….. so as an experienced Euro away traveller, Odub, I have to say………….. fucking hell mate, you have missed out on so much, how do you motivate yourself to get up in the mornings, do you not feel hollow, empty of one of lifes greatest adventures ??!!!!!!

  45. Odub

    Will do Chris.

    Cheers Steve, much appreciated. BTW Anyone up for the trip to Bolton? Was thinking of getting a ticket, but want to make sure like minded gooners will be in attendance.

    What’s with the bookclub?! Stopped reading after 4 years of cramming in uni!! Only leisurely reading I now do is of publications with loads of lewd pictures! NOT ANIMAL FARM!! I’ve heard about that, have no interest thank you!!

  46. Steve

    Right, off to lunch. Curry and lager. Followed by wine.

    Expect some pissed bollocks this afternoon.

    Ciao Gooners.

  47. Odub

    Bud, due to a previous phobia of flying, I used to have to either get absolutely wasted or do train travel! A lot better now, havent got a choice really, as have to do 2 flights to NY a year, and 4 to our scottish offices as well!

    But thanks for your pity and concern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT

  48. Odub

    Some doobie and half a galon of Johnnie Walker’s finest normally did the trick!! Once slept from gatwick to within 2 hours of JFK!!! Did not fucking stir once until some nossy stewardess decided to check if I was alive or not! Cunt!

  49. Odub

    Wouldnt recommend it on an empty stomach though!!!!

    Has anyone been able to solve the mystery of the missing Denilson?
    he’s still not listed as injured and wasnt included on Sunday, would hsve rathe had him on the right than Cesc, he’s played there before hasnt he?

  50. Odub

    I do believe …’I'm o make you feel my pain if you try getting me on that metal bird fool’ were the exact words !!

    What the fuck is a slight groin strain?!! I get that every morning looking at the talent down this end, and I still manage to fulfil my contractual employment tasks!!!

    Fucking bunch of over pampered jessies!!!

  51. GOONER4LIFE

    Ade and Bedtner togeter??……they are the same sort of player so not sure if putting them up front together is the best thing…plus they hate eachother don’t they??

  52. chris

    unknown gooner4life, we seem to think the signs are there of reconciliation, but who knows, i think nikki will split in the summer

  53. Odub

    I’d rather keep nicky big boots than Ade on the long run. Much younger, more skillfull, more endevour, and doesnt give a shit!!!!

  54. Odub

    Well I think I make a valid point!

    Give NB a run of 5 starts with RVP or Theo and see if he doesnt get a better return than Afroman does!

    and before you mention it I realise the irony of mentioning afroman in relation to your doobie reference Chris!!

  55. Bud

    Ade is lazy – Fact !!!!!!

    2nd half against Wigan and the knobcheese couldn’t even be bothered to make a run into the box, time and time again he just stood there as play went past him……. tosser !!!!

  56. Odub

    Just think he’s beginning to think he’s the bollox and doesnt have to do as much as everyone else! Can’t wait for RVP to get back to full fitness, and take back his mantle of main striker.

  57. chris

    on that point do u think that aw tells the strikers to stay put and not needlessly run around same as TH, and to wait for the ball because at times ade does run around like a headless chicken and then liek a beaten dog heads back up front as if instructed to do so

  58. Odub

    maybe, I think the choice on what to do is down to the individual striker, which is where the more intelligent ones seem to be in the right place most of the time. Some old scholl examples Rossi, Butragueno.
    Unless the player is a complete and utter dunce, I can’t imagine any striker would need to be told what to do for 90 minutes

  59. YangKamp10

    New here fellas. Seems like a mature blog over here so keen to get involved! 4-3-3 would be lovely and exciting, esp with our brand of football. And we all know that the best 4-3-3 is the one that can convert to a tight and effective 4-5-1. Milan anyone?

    And hey, lay off Ade, eh? Shocker on Sunday, thats true but he has been a sensation this season…and will improve. hardest working striker in the EPL.

    Rosicky Ade RVP
    Hleb Cesc
    flamini
    clichy toure gallas sagna
    almunia

  60. Odub

    i dont doubt he has improved, come to think of it there was no way he could have got worse than last season!

    The fact is his application and effort still leaves a lot to be desired, which is why I don’t subscribe to the notion that he is the hardest working striker in the premiership!

    The fact remains thatif RVP had been fit for the whole of this season, we wouldnt even be having this conversation.

  61. Pedro

    I don’t know Odub? I thought Ade’s work rate was his best feature, because his touch certainly isn’t… nor his finishing!

    What I will say is his goals have been very important to our position, he’s still young and he is really our second choice striker. I think he gets to much flak… tall players always look clumsy and get slated…

    RvP will re-establish himself as first forward on the list shortly… then the rest will battle it out to play along side the boy wonder!

    RvP and Ade were quite the partnership at the start of the season if I remember correctly? Will they carry it on? Will Nikki B take being 3rd choice? What about Theo down the middle when Vela comes over?

    So many questions!

  62. chris

    that much is true odub, so in that regard where would nikki have gone on loan!
    its going to be a long week with no football,

    any predictions for the pool tonight, surely they wont lose with a 2 goal margin, it would be hillariuos if they did mind you,

  63. YangKamp10

    John Terry and Rio Ferdinand have both made similar comments. Still he’s our boy so we get behind him eh? Agreed that he has some way to go. Composure seems to be his biggest flaw at the minute.

    RVP’s composure and desire to shoot at almost every oppotunity should help us to the title.
    Has Walcott become a fantastic 20min sub in recent weeks or what!

  64. Pedro

    Thats the thing Yangkamp… all the best defenders hate playing against him because he runs them ragged. You can’t argue with Rio and Terry if Ade is there most feared opponent.

    Lots of managers dreul over Ade as well.

    Put it this way, I’d prefer him in our team… Drogba only started playing well at 28 for Chelsea… Ade is only 23 and on target for 20+…

    We have 3 strikers capable of 20 plus goals, that is pretty exciting. Especially when they are all fit! What a battle!

    I just hope RvP’s injury woes are behind him becuase Rosicky will always be injury boy…

  65. Odub

    Pedro, he has bailed us out on numerous occasions this season, and I think his stock went up after scroing the only goal in the 1-0 victory at OT last season. I just think he’s taking a lot of TH14′s traits onboard, including the gaelic shrug, and occasional ‘I cant be assed’ saunter around the oppositions half from time to time.

    maybe we’re being on fair on Ade mainly because having been so succesful this season, we’re beginning to expect too much of him, but it becomes more obvious how lazy he is when we’re not playing well or ripping teams apart.

    he’s listed as being 24 years old, and played 5 years in the French PL before he joined us. So he’s been playing European football for 7 years. He should have learnt by now!

  66. Odub

    Yeah Theo’s best season yet, got a feeling he’s going to influence a few more matches before the seasons done!

  67. Odub

    Mate how do I get a job in the money markets?!!! I need to get some of this 3 hour lunch action you keep getting?!!!

  68. Odub

    I’m sure it’s not. I know a few risk analysts and they put the hours in but also play hard and get some top notch jollies out of their companies!

    Current topics… is Ade a lazy cunt?, Nicky B or ade over the next 5 years, is Theo now super sub?, will RVP ever be top striker again, will the scousers cock it up tonight?

  69. Pedro

    My brother always bangs on about the terry sulk… its a bad habbit and he needs to remember how he felt when the shoe was on the other foot!

    Sorry for the lack of talk today… training…

  70. choy

    you guys sure do know how to make a conversation… you guys make the long day at office a bit better….

    thanks people and the site rocks!

  71. Odub

    Just dont like the whole ‘stamping of feet and shrugging of shoulders when I dont get the pass I want’ attitude!

  72. Big Raddy

    And for me, Bendtner is the better proposition. Sure, he is an arrogant fucker, but he has great skill, decent pace and has been brought up in the ‘Arsenal’ way. But I hope they both stay. We have attacking options and in order to get through a long season, we need bodies.

    Our medical staff do not seem to be the full shilling, so a big squad. is a must

  73. Steve

    I’ve nearly dione 2 consecutive hours. Gotta go before I break my conditions of work.

    Have fun Gooners!!!

    :)

  74. Odub

    Big Raddy I said earlier I’d have NB as oppossed to Ade over the next 5-10 years and got told I was a pot smoking brain dead freak with the cranial capabilities of Titus Bramble!

    very hurt I was!

  75. Big Raddy

    I applaud the man who gave you such an insult. Though he is talking out of his tail-pipe. Ade has a long way to go before he is the finished product. But, as a work in process, he is a fine player. The goal against Sp*rs was an exceptional piece of skill, and shows what he is capable of.

    But, I would still take NB in the long term.

  76. Odub

    Actually he just called me a pothead but same diffrence!

    I think Ade’s beginning to think he’s the bollox, and expects to do as little as possible as such. NB on the other hand couldnt care less and just gets on with it! he’s only 19, and still developing, Ade on the other hand is not too far from peak performance which means that erratic finishing he displays is here to stay!!

    Look at the facts:
    Arsenal away to Milan then draw away to Wigan
    Man U at home to Lyon then lose at home to Portsmonth
    Chelsea at home to Qlympiakos then lose away to Barnsley.
    Yes Arsenal dropped points while the other two got knocked out of the FA cup.
    But it does not mean that Arsenal cann’t still challenge for the league.
    Arsenal the boys are good.

    later odub,

    phobia i guess you can say that a european hangover is a common occurance its a shame ours might have cost us more, but i take your point,

  80. chris

    i said that to him before and he went mental, while he can defend himself he did say that it was far from a “jessies game”

    It would be great if the ‘pool get stuffed tonight. Except I would much rather draw them in the quarterfinal than Inter.

    Liverpool are the weakest team in the draw. I bet Chelski get them and the Mancs will get Schalke. We will get Barca, at least I hope so !!

  82. Geoff

    Hi Guys sorry I’ve been away for so long, but a Liverpool tonking would be great, however i don’t mind them winning as we may get them next, and I have to say, I would prefer them to Inter.

  83. Odub

    I see the scousers are being as adventorous as usual!! Anything of note happened? Just walked in from my queerboy game of squash as per BR and chris!!!

  84. Odub

    Yeah right!!!!

    You sir have questioned my integrity on numerous occasions…..You leave me no choice but to challenge you to a duel!!! Pistols at 10 paces!! Name your venue!!

    Fuck Inter down to 10 again!!!!!!

  85. chris

    i told you before you can not watch the pool or the chavs for actual entertainment
    they simply bore you to death!

  86. Odub

    what a strike from torres!!! Hope benitez gets the sack, torres becomes disorientated, and asks to leave, and we get him!!!

    Clutching at straws folks!!!

  87. chris
