In a week when the rats have looked for way off the ship, well one of them anyway, the one that looks like a rodent, Ade came out and said this.
‘I’ve assured the gaffer Arsene Wenger I’ll stay because I believe in the team and I want to assure the fans my concentration is here.
I have no reason to leave so I’ll stay to ensure that together we’ll win silverware. Mathieu’s a good player but his departure doesn’t mean Arsenal is about to collapse. Our team is a deep well of talent.
I am confident we are capable of winning titles and we will return for next season hungrier to be successful.’
The Sun.
At last a player reassuring the fans, well done Ade!
Well sorry Ethan, but I know that even you are beginning to warm to him, if he can learn the offside rule and become more of a team player, I think he can become a legend, too many teams want him for him not to have something, time will tell, but I have a feeling, with Bendtner a year older, Theo becoming what we bought , Robin and Eduardo fit and Ade banging them in, we could have the best front line in football next term.
Onto the centre back situation, 19 year old Gavin Hoyte is saying that Nordtveit could be the answer to our woes next season, I would prefer to fill the void with a home grown, but only if he’s good enough, what do you all think? Gavin himself is highly rated and now he’s 19, he could be an answer at centre back, just as cover though because I think he’s a left back.
Nasri is becoming a boring story, I mean how long does it take to sign someone? Is he for sale? Yes, does he want to join us? Yes, has he passed his medical? Yes. Pretty simple really, don’t you think?
We need to sign Barry and quick, his value will soar after the Tobago game, so a quick swap with Justin and we’ll have our Flamini replacement, sign up Velosa as well and we have the centre back and Gilberto role covered, get this keeper from Wolves in and we’re done, Benzema and Villa won’t happen so I would think that’s it.
You know even if we sign the above and we sell Hleb, we still won’t have spent the £25 mil were were told that we had.
I don’t want Makoun, especially if Song kept him out of the ACN, and I really don’t want anybody I’ve never heard of and after last night I’m not convinced that Richard Dunne is the answer (especially that the Spuds are now after him) not saying no, just saying maybe we should look at our own or push the boat out and sign Mexes, don’t forget, the clubs we love to feed can’t buy everyone.
I’d also get in there and pay Cardiff what they want for Ramsey, we didn’t hesitate with Theo and this kid looks to have it all already, finally I just heard that West Ham have put Ferdinand up for sale at £5 mil, anyone?
Let’s hope today is good news day today Grovers.








even after his great season for us, you cant help but raise a smile at mr.flamoney’s misfortune. uefa cup and a summer on the beach. still, could be worse, could be a scouser
Thanks T-Buzz… just for you mate.
Three old ladies are sitting in a diner, chatting about various things.
One lady says, “You know, I’m getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn’t remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down.”
The second lady says, “You think that’s bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed and I couldn’t remember whether I was going to sleep or had just woken up!”
The third lady smiles smugly, “Well, my memory is just as good as it’s always been, knock on wood,” she says as she raps on the table. Then with a startled look on her face, she asks, “Who’s there?”
Oooh James, thats cold!! lol
Shit forgot eva mendez!! Cheers Tbuzz!!!

I need a minute….
lol!! good one goonerjay!!
glad to see the cheerleading deabte raging. unfortunately if the club are refusing to even confirm that we are gonna buy anyone this year then the hope of these wonderful women parading around the hallowed turf shaking their stuff is rather a slim prospect. still, one can hope.
A couple was golfing one day on a very, very exclusive golf course,
lined with million dollar houses. On the third tee the husband said,
“Honey, be very careful when you drive the ball don’t knock out any
windows. It’ll cost us a fortune to fix.”
The wife teed up and shacked it right through the window of the
biggest house on the course. The husband cringed and said, “I told you to watch out for the houses. Alright, let’s go up there, apologize and see how much this is going to cost.”
They walked up, knocked on the door, and heard a voice say, “Come on
in.” They opened the door and saw glass all over the floor and a broken bottle lying on its side in the foyer. A man on the couch said, “Are you the people that broke my window?”
“Uh, yeah. Sorry about that.” the husband replied.
“No, actually I want to thank you. I’m a genie that was trapped for a
thousand years in that bottle. You’ve released me. I’m allowed to
grant three wishes-I’ll give you each one wish, and I’ll keep the last
one for myself.”
“OK, great!” the husband said. ” I want a million dollars a year for
the rest of my life.” “No problem-it’s the least I could do. And you, what do you want?” the genie said, looking at the wife.
“I want a house in every country of the world,” she said.
“Consider it done.” the genie replied.
“And what’s your wish, genie?”, the husband said.
“Well, since I’ve been trapped in that bottle, I haven’t had sex with
a woman in a thousand years. My wish is to sleep with your wife.”
The husband looks at the wife and said, “Well, we did get a lot of
money and all those houses, honey. I guess I don’t care.” The genie took the wife upstairs and ravished her for two hours.
After it was over, the genie rolled over, looked at the wife, and
said, “How old is your husband, anyway?”
“35.” she replied.
“And he still believes in genies?….That’s amazing!”

thats ok odub
Always glad to help
Wow Pedro, that pic got me hot under the collar!!
I see liverfool are paying Torres £89000 a week.
I wonder what Cesc is on? Anyone?
thats a good link pedro
Which makes a laughing stock out of the wage slip leak earlier in the year (It said £123k a week)
No problem with the link guys… it was my duty
i think he’s on 50k but pushing for 90/100, what dein’s son as his agent now
i think he’s on 50k but pushing for 90/100, what with dein’s son as his agent now
James echo echo echo!!!
chaps I’m over and out!! have a good one and hopefully we bloody sign someone next week!! It’s been emotional!!
Night grovers!
hahah yeh i got carried away. i think its the feeling that ‘Cesc employs David dein’s son who brokered Henry’s move to Barca’ is an intersting one, and that you all should know how i feel. although i think it might just be my over-zealous pressing of buttons, distracted by pedro’s earlier link
Thanks for that Pedro… now how the fuck am i meant to do my work… i’m a dribbling mess
Lets hope they give cesc what he wants.
Im fed up of seeing players leave for the sake of the odd 5k.
The cheerleader thing has got me thinking…
How about Hayden Panettiere
We could even sign her and play her against Birmingham ( if we get them in the cup), id like to see them try and break her apart like they did dudu… (joke is wasted unless you watch Heroes)

Two young lovers go up to the mountains for a romantic winter vacation. When they get there, the guy goes out to chop some wood. When he gets back, he says, “Honey, my hands are freezing!”
She says, “Well put them here between my legs and that will warm them up.”
After lunch he goes back out to chop some more wood and comes back and says gain “Man! My hands are really freezing!”
She says again, “Well put them here between my legs and warm them up.”
He does, and again that warms him up.
After dinner, he goes out one more time to chop wood for the night.
When he returns, he again says, “Honey, my hands are really freezing!”
She looks at him and says, “FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, DON’T YOUR EARS EVER GET COLD?”
i think he’s currently on 60k.. arsenal are offering 90k…
thats what they said,” little below the 100k henry was on last year”
£100k a week and he buys all his clothes from Zara…
Juve land Amauri… shame…
Pedro i’ve just closed newnow mate… i’ve given up hope.
I’m going to do the same as Odub i think and boycott newsnow and rely on you guys to give me all the latest news.
Good shout…
There is always a Grover online in the know… all you have to do is post ‘Whats happening?’ and you get a nice little summary!
You just concentrate you efforts into the top draw jokes!
Did steve come back on today? I only saw one post?
this is by far the most informative, friendly, funny and useless at making me do my job forum of the arsenal i’ve found.. if only the signings and arsenal news were as regular as goonerjays jokes then we’d all be content
I’m sure i can do that Pedro…
Steve popped up with 1 random comment and that was it… didn’t hear from him again… shame because i bet he’s accumulated a fair few jokes over the weeks he’s been missing in action.
Jay
Thanks for all the jokes today. Only thing thats kept me awake
cheerleader: Keeley Hazell
Cheerleader … Monica Bellucci
Nordtveit is amongst the five most outstanding young central defenders I have ever watched! (Tony Adams is one of the five).
Whoever said Blatter wouldn’t try to push this through if he didn’t have a case is ridiculously naive. Everyone thinks they have a case, and only one party wins every time. If lawyers opnly accepted guaranteed cases then we’d have no need for the system.
hot damn… what beauties!!!
wenger said he keeps eboue thr because : “A team is a balance. You don’t always play a player because he scores goals, you play him because he gives you balance.
“We play in a very attacking style and Eboue gives us defensive balance.”
isnt tht a dm job tht means he tries to play 2 dms and eboue is like a lb only but in the mid role tht means he does not trust flamini tht much and he would not be soo gutted to let him go but he was good not great
: “A team is a balance. You don’t always play a player because he scores goals, you play him because he gives you balance.
“We play in a very attacking style and Eboue gives us defensive balance.”
isnt tht a dms job eboue is like a LB in mid tht means he does not trust flamini tht much so he plays eboue thr till we get a world class dm eboue will still play thr
eduardo’s already kicking a ball!!!!!
feck me
http://arsenalanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/05/eduardo-surprised-with-speed-of.html
He will be back before RVP choy.
So will the next world cup final!
more like the next euro final with england in it !
ANY NEWS CHAPS ?
Latest: Marseille midfielder Samir Nasri will be heading to Arsenal
that made bbc gossip column ! so judging by past signings its close , bbc usually dont entertain any rumors !
pompy to sign 5 new faces this season
sven mexicos new coach !
but nothing about arsenal !
fucking typical !
No Ethan, I meant the next one in England, 2018, but only if he doesn’t play in the Euros.
I just saw a video of Eduardo kicking a ball, at this rate he’ll be back for the start of the season!
yes well im not sure that we will make the next Euro’s either !
lets hope he doesnt need a shrink before stepping on the pitch !
I hear ya!
anyway geoff back to bed for me !
ill be ranting about arsene’s magical 3 weeks in the morning no doubt !
does anything arsene say ever hold true anymore ..
he is one big bullshit excuse !
Make ‘some’ signings in the next 3 weeks !
dont fear fans !
obviously offering the players 20 g a week isnt enough !
can we start to be afraid now ???
fuck it !
Good night Ethan, he’s just a joke, 2-3 weeks, fucking liar, he has no respect for the fans, he’s OK commentating it’s more important, and it obviously pays well.
OMG …. I have the reason as to why NASRI hasn’t signed yet!
Arsene has had his eye on landing someone else…
http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/index.php/2008/05/30/wenger-caught-with-a-stripper
Hey fella’s just some good vibe for those who might be just getting back from the pub and/or just going out to a night club. Or those who just can;t sleep. Ethan?

From correspondents in Zagreb, Croatia
May 31, 2008 ARSENAL’S Croatian striker Eduardo Da Silva, who suffered a horrific leg break earlier this year, said doctors had given him the all-clear to return to action in August.
The 25-year-old Brazilian-born Croatian has been recovering since mid-April in a clinic in Rio De Janeiro and his return is good news as just in March, he had believed his recovery would take 15 months.
Eduardo suffered a compound fracture of the left leg following a tackle from Birmingham defender Martin Taylor at St Andrews in February.
“I am returning to Europe from Brazil at the beginning of August, perhaps even the end of July,” Da Silva said. “Doctors tell me by then I will be fully recovered and able to play football again. I hope so too.
“I’m feeling well and my rehabilitation is going better than I would ever have hoped.”
I’ve just seen the Eduardo clip. Can’t believe it after that horrendous break – FANTASTIC!!!! Something for the weekend for all Gunnerfans.
gnarely – have you seen the video of him back in training…he looks good already! Bloody amazing! huge scar on his leg though!
By the way…theres only 1 Dennis Bergkamp!
Just felt like saying that!
Another bit of quality fro the Chavs!!
Chelsea snub Blues legends
A Chelsea team of former club legends, including Gianfranco Zola, Gianluca Vialli, Peter Bonetti and Ray Wilkins, played in a match at Stamford Bridge this week for sponsors Samsung against a side of O2 competition winners but were not allowed to use the Stamford Bridge dressing rooms.
Some of the greatest players ever to wear the Chelsea shirt had to change in Portakabins, much to their dismay.
A Chelsea spokesman said: “We do not use our dressing rooms during the close season for any pitch events.”
so really there should be a signing in this coming week before the start of the euros…
everyone must be out on the booze or asleep or passed out?
Evo,
I think a good few passed out from boredom, due to lack of transfer news. I hope the Eduardo update helps to satisfy the pangs to a point. Anyway, I’m off to the footy today, Hawks v Dogs. You should get along to see The Tiges tomorrow @ the SCG. No racing @ Randwick on a Sunday?, so you shouldn’t be tempted to stop off on the way.
Hi Geoff Pedro and gang, I just got home from working the Springsteen concert. I want you all to know that Nasri will be at the Stadium at 2o’clock on Sunday. I was talking to the club photographer and he said he will be there to take photo’s of Samir. At least that one will be completed.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/05/31/sfnars131.xml
apparently we are looking to make richard scudamore out CEO, a good move imo
El Tel – glory days mate! that sounds as good as done!
Tel, Thanks mate! Thats great news. Hey everyone wake up!!!!
Spain striker David Villa is putting all questions and thoughts about his club future on hold until after next month’s European Championship.
What a coup it would be to sign Scudamore to do Edelmans job, an FA insider would help us fight the cheating Mancscum, the guy must have contacts throughout the FA. Where is Scudamore from though? Hope he’s not a Northerner.
i see Fulham have released that Christianval guy that we had on trial last season
I stood at the centre of the pitch tonight guys and saw what the players see every time they go out there, fucking awesome, compared to Highbury the place looks enormous. Shame the pitch was covered over. I will take a ball there tomorrow and get a bollocking from Stadium Management. Bet the fuckers stop me going in with it. Springsteen was good too and there was plenty of Totty there. I got fucking angry at the Spud cunts who were singing Yid army, one cunt was taking the piss, he said to me wheres the toilets and when I told him he said no the pitch, great thing is though the cunt was laughing at me over his shoulder and walked straight into some other guys and dropped the 2 pints he had in his hands. I fucking cracked up laughing at the Tosser. 1 Wanker had the early seventies Spuds shirt on, did he look a prick. Going to bed soon. Hope the Nasri bit cheered everyone up. You long distance guys heard it first. Up the Gunners.
Great news about Eduardo what a star that man is. Come on Dudu we need you back Pal.
Great story El Tel – keep em coming!
Tel,
I think its great that so many from spuds bought tickets for the concert, & have helped financially to pay for our new signings. You dumb fcuked Tottenham fools. Same old Arsenal taking the piss!!! LOLOL
george – ive tipped the hawks in the game today, but i wouldnt mind seeing the dogs get up!
EL TEL RE :NASRI
yes the rumor has hit the bbc webpage , thats always a sign when you are close to signing
someone , they don’t allow too much hear say onto there site !
ITS USUALLY PRETTY NAZI WHEN IT COMES TO SPECULATION !
i know that from all the taksin information i post on it
i dont think they have ever printed anything ive ever said about the cunt !
bbc web page is pretty good really! more reliable and definitive than A.COM
(for official confirmations !)
and the 1st place where i read that people usually LEAVE ! i say ”leave because more have left in the last 4 years than came in! And usually at the time im less than impressed with the personnel in ! and more concerned with personnel OUT !
sell all the invincibles replace them with kids .. cut wages in half ! move into a stadium
that has more money earning potential of x2 x4 of highbury , and we are pleading poverty like oliver twist ! who cares about club debt ! or should i say would you care about your mortgage repayment when you’ve just got a new job(stadium) that earns x4 what you used to have as income !!! the ability to pay off any debts are easily covered
(not that a player is a debt ! ) HE A FUCKING ASSET !!!! with the way wenger buys most players are like real estate , and wenger goes and buys up all the property that will double in value within a year or 2 ! but i digress !
we are like mushrooms fed bullshit and kept in the dark !
i dont care what technical hitch has taken place arsene said 3 weeks 4 new signings!
and he should keep to his promise to the fans !
if not come out and hold a conference as to why its taking so long .
As for keeping a secret and affecting the price on transfers thats just BS !
narsi – dudu – sagna – all had rumors leaked out for days before it was official !
this news always gets out !
and the reason we’ve been linked with so many people just shows me how many failed embargo’s we’ve had in the past month . Im sure 60 % of them were inquiries
that failed ! prices too high or players that where not interested !
george
it was 3.50 am here !(9.50 pm post ) and woke up in a cold sweat from my latest eboue nightmare
the grinning teeth of death !
so i thought id check out who we signed , because i didn’t think arsene would let us down ! he did !!!
BUT DONT WORRY
i took that opportunity to jump on the nest
so dont worry it was all worth it !
ethan – i dont recall Wenger saying “I promise”, just give the management the time they need to cut the deals. im sure if they said we need to sign 2-3, they’ll have them ready by august!
Evo
here you go mate … straight from the AKB website
http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=news&article=491389&lid=NewsHeadline&Title=Wenger+-+I+hope+to+make+signing+within+weeks
Well after the spuds got Modric and Bostock, it would be nice if we sign one player at least, so thanks for that El Tel!
New Post!
