Adebayor seems to think he’s worth as much money as Thierry Henry for some strange reason, he compares himself with Arsenal’s record goalscorer, the man who regularly netted 30 plus goal a season, the man who never missed a chance, the double footballer of the year, the man who will end up as Arsenal’s best ever player, and this delusional, greedy dimwiited twit from Togo thinks he’s on the same level – Jesuuuus!
Bit like someone who thinks he just won an election in Zimbabwe, mentally ill, delusional or a bit of both?
Arsene, you came out and said what you should have done, so well done for digging your heels in, but take the money or put the disrespectful, ungrateful nobody in the reserves for a season.
He will undermine team spirit, teach him a lesson and Bendtner will be twice the player next season, and on that note, he’s very quiet isn’t he? I bet he’s loving this!
Finally boss, you need to know we will never forgive him for this, never. He is finished with the fans.
Other news now as I really can’t stand talking about this ingrate anymore, Huntelaar has now told Ajax he won’t sign a contract and rumours abound, but I can’t see us going for him, I would prefer him to Santa Cruz but he’s not the big bugger he’d be replacing is he? Eto’o is a great goalscorer but the question is why are Barca letting him go and Gomez, who freely scores in Germany is being touted but hasn’t shone in the Euros, so I’m not so sure about him either, not a lot to get excited about then.
I read on the blog that the Ben Arfa deal hasn’t been done yet, anyone for him? It would explain why we haven’t signed Nasri yet, wouldn’t it?
Tonight is the last night of the Euros and a final chance to see the great Cesc Fabregas triump over the mechanical Germans, I hope he has a blinder because we need something to cheer about after listening to the ravings of a nutter all week, also this marks the start of real Arsenal business, or it should, if we don’t have our new signings in place by pre season I think we’ll be missing a trick or two.
It seems the money issues are coming home to roost with news that Liverpool and Madrid have to sell before they can buy, so maybe the Barry deal is not yet done? Man City though are doing a Chelsea, and Chelsea are about to do a Chelsea, so we need to have all of our squad in place soon.
Happy Domingo Grovers, tomorrow it begins in ernest.
lol el tel
Good one El Tel – So Ade the Whore wants to have crisis talks next week and Monsieur Arsene says NON!
Whatever happens, am expecting this to rumble on until late August…… f****g typical !
Evening everyone!
…….. and what is happening with the Nasri/Ben Arfa siuation?
I doubt anyone has got a clue!
This must be the strangest off season we’ve had in a long time.
Anyone looking forward to the match?
I’ll be really disapointed if Cesc isn’t in the line up.
2-0 to Spain i reckon.
Come on Spain!
hah
Hi Choy, how’re you doing mate?
Where’s everyone gone?
HELLO!…… Cesc needs our support!
I think Ade should prove himself for one more year before he can get high wages in the 80k 90k bracket. If he is asking for 120k for real he is indeed being unreasonable given the fact he has only had one excellenr season.
However if we think logically not many players around the world are playing for their boyhood dream clubs…..therefore there are two main things that would drive loyalty….
Money
Success
We know Arsenal try to live within their means therefore the players are not paid ridiculus wages like some other clubs. Also we have not won anything for some years now, so therefore success is missing as well.
If we add one of these ingredients or both, we would not have so many players leaving.
People are saying Cesc wants to stay forever, I highly doubt that…yes he loves the club but I think the reason why he is loyal now is because he is young..time is on his side. He is 20-21.
I guarantee you if he reaches the 23-25 age range and we have won nothing he will want out.
He is loyal now because he knows he can always move at 24 and still have alot playing ahead of him.
The only man I see staying out the course no matter what is propbably Kolo. Even Clichy and others will Its very possible that Sagna will stay the course as well because he is already 25.
Correction for my last paragraph.
I meant to say even Clichy and others will leave in a couple years if there is no success or if the club does not match their ambitions.
Sagna may stay for his whole career tho given the fact he is 25 already.
I will if we sign no one else Angry, anyway Pedro is flying back to blighty and I’m off to watch the game so catch you all much later!
Cesc finally starts his first game of the Competition!
Get in there…… go Cesc go, we’re right behind you!
Come you reds!
Full Teamsheets for Germany v Spain in the EURO 2008 Final:
Germany Team: Jens Lehmann, Arne Friedrich, Bastian Scweinsteiger, Torsten Frings, Miroslav Klose, Michael Ballack (c), Philipp Lahm, Thomas Hitzlsperger, Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski, Christoph Metzelder.

Spain Head Coach: Luis Aragonés.
Of the top nine passers in the Euros, Spain have six and one is Cesc..
Not bad for a sub..
The Spaniards better be careful on set pieces, they’re a bunch of midgets in comparison to the Germans who are the biggest side in the Euro’s.
hey abdenor.. ok just getting my beers ready for the game… what you guys upto…
score prediction anyone?
Germany 2-1 Spain
Dont want it to happen but thats what I reckon
Spain 1, Germany0, AET
am goin for 3-1 spain…
WE’VE GOT CESC FABREGAS!!!!!
Set pieces will be key, if Spain deal with them then i can see wining otherwise it’ll be Germany i am affraid.
Hey Wrighty, i read your post earlier , it’s all going off in the comments section, check it out!
made me chuckle ….. keep it goonerish
Cheers for the heads up Abdenor! It gets crazy on there sometimes.
Keep it goonerish pal
pat thats the same comment i made about yaya !
Wrighty i told you Spain would win it ! wheres your portugeezers then ??
Surely jens wont cope with the Spanish strike force ..
Germany have some good players as pedro pointed out .. anyhow looks like it will be a good match and not long to wait now !
Huntelaar- villa – snydee ! all great prospects pat …
thats the sort of quality ive been on about !!!
thats what i class as GETTING WITH THE PROGRAM !
or back to winning ways …
wenger relys too much on these kids coming thru ! no one can really tell at 16 if a kid has what it takes to be a regular in the EPL ! .So many factors are involved .. Wenger needs NOW players ..
Evo yesterday said we are signing another 15-16 year old once he has his birthday ..
Also if you start at arsenal , in todays kind of football , you dont play at the same club til you retire ! he is far better getting in a 24 year old on a 5 year deal , and at least he is assured of getting the best out of that said player !!!
all these youngsters will want to move before they have peaked ! you can bet your bottom dollar on that one !
Also maqitlarge
agree with the lot mate .. good post !
‘OK, you can think, “I can leave this guy here if he sulks and play him in the reserves.” But it doesn’t work. It’s a good solution in theory, but on a daily basis it’s impossible. That’s why, in the end, I said I will only sell Anelka if he says to me, “I want to leave”.
What can you do with a player who doesn’t want to stay?’
PRECISELY !
counter productive to not take 20 – 30 million , just to prove a fuckin point !
Both teams playing same system but Germany look the more likely,
….. decent save by Jens!
Spain aint won it yet Ethan!
My portugeezers were bleeding losers!!!
How close can you get?
Off the post!
What a cocker by crazy Jens…. caught in no man’s land!
1-0 to Espana!
Get in!
i hate that cunt ballack… wtf is he trying to do!!!!
Mertesacker actually looks good in this game he has broken up all plays which come to him.
Lahm was the one who caused the goal, he should have stretched his boot to try to get the ball. Instead he tried to stay in front of Torres and shield, that was a mistake, Torres grabbed Lahms hand and powered past him to score.
Could not blame Jens for that.
Fabregas is playing well, 2 fantastic dinks on the edge of the box which was missed both times by those decrepit cunts on the Beeb.
Ballack is trying his best to injure Fab in my opinion and thats why his team mates jumped the Frankensteins creation cunt.
Great goal by Torres.
Come on Spain.
Ballack is a Fucking wanker. i just hate the look of his face.
as for Mertesacker. he look so slow. he would get murderd in the Prem.
Scweinsteiger and Frings playing well enough and Lanky bollocks isn’t doing to badly. Senna has been fantastic again for Spain
thank fuck we’re not getting mertsacker (or metzelder) they are both rubish! Lehmann was lucky to save their own goal attempt!
ballack is a cunt, i want to hobble him myself!
get podolski onto our list!
Sure was a great goal El Tel, torres is the rolls royce of strikers!
Mertesacker is horribly slow, lacks any sort of mobility and for his huge size, was beaten in the air by Torres who hit the post!
Ja-Gunner…. The german fulback was the main culprit for the goal i know but Jens should’ve stayed home, there was no need for him to rush out.
just listened to Marcelle desailly comments at half time, he said spain needed to take off 1 midfielder as its too crowded and put on a striker, is he smoking hash?
Hello everyone – not a bad game, eh
Spain to win either 2-0 or it will be penalties with Spain winning…
Heres hoping..
Hey, I think we now know why Jens didnt play most of the season – he has been awesome for us, but like Spunky, one season too many for us…..
IMHO
yeah it was lahm who torrres breezed by, he was ball watching once torres got passed him! he just left it for lehmann to deal with
Rico – agreed on the mad jens scenario, this game is why he had to move on and the game against turkey too!
On the other hand – does this not resemble Germany v’s Turkey, and we know what happened in that game……………….:(
i like Scweinsteiger. iv liked him since Euro 04.
and think he would do well at arsenal. would be much better then that Never shoot Idiot Helb
Hi there,
I enjoy reading your articles and the comments that lead on from them. During the period I’ve been reading you’ve urged Arsenal to spend money (the apparent £70million) on star players to make the team better. Then today you urge Arsenal to not spend money on what current players want. How can you justify the difference between spending big money on new signings or spending big money on current players?
Next goal will be crucial, if Spain was to get it then it’s good Night Vienna for the germans!
midoco – who are you talking to?
midoco
players at the club should be paid what they deserve, and that means a one season so far player does not warrant a 50M+ per month contract,
If experience is bought, and their trade is proved, then again they should be paid what they deserve………..
I think i maybe right in saying that we fans DONT want Eboue paid 100M per month, or any other player who either is not good enough, or who has not performed consistantly for more than ONE season!!!!!
Sorry, but you are wrong in your views IMHO!!
Sounds like that Bichoff transfer rumour is gathering a bit of speed…
http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/06/29/Prem-Bischoff-on-Arsenal-move/
Evo
I’m just asking a general question to the writers and subscribers of this blog, what’s the difference in spending millions on new signings who have no allegiance to the club and then spending millions on keeping players who have no allegiance to he club? This site has advocated spending millions of pounds on transfers when it has actually proved to be more beneficial that cheap players are more effective and loyal. (Vieira, Lauen, Sagna, Pires).
midoco – you aint another Arsenal Bloger on the internet in disguise by any chance are you??
midoco – you need to direct the question at the relevant persons, i could care less for that statement…
which current players have no allegiance?
i feel kurinyi is going to score!
Again Evo –
Anyone get a feeling Germany have taken over now in this game….. NO, Cesc is off!!!!!
cesc being subbed….doesnt look happy!
I NEW IT I FUCKING NEW IT!!!!!!!
i NEW fabregas would get taken off.,
what about silva trying to headbutt podolski?
The germans are gonna equalise, its in the script.
If Spain end up not winning this game then u know why people.
WTF has Aragones got against Cesc
He was one of their best players,
Fucking halfwit
Raif – at least we can say Cecs played the full tournament and didnt get injured, thats the best news! cant believe they bought alonso on for him!
The Germans won’t equalise, mark my words!
Which current players have no allegiance? Well in recent times Flamini, apparently Hleb and Adebayor.
Now what were we saying about mad Jens!!
I am not an Arse Blogger, I wouldn’t read that crap.
midoco – its good to have an opinion, at least you clarified the players names…
micodo – flamini has gone, no one else at this moment has, please feel free to put your views to another site
I like Arseblog.
He’s a funny twat.
Evo – ur very right indeed mate. witch is nothing but very good news for us.
the Germans are stating to Pile on the Pressure now
Give it a rest Midoco mate, enjoy the game first!
We’ll debate things afterwards!
Hold on Rico!
Why are you telling that fella to eff off?
sorry, harsh last blog, just sick of the H&A shite
ive decided if we ever went to buy a CB, that person needs to be an Italian, or from the serie A….they’re always up for a 1-0 win!
tonight – mersacker, metzelder, puyol and ramos – all crap!
Abdenor – lol i was going to say the same thing to Midoco aswell.
his thoughts on ADE is in Over drive,
Midoco “WATCH THE FOOTBALL”
as after this game we wont have NOTHING to watch till the season starts
Midoco;
Not many players are loyal in the big scheme of things, just like clubs aint too loyal either.
Fans are loyal (well, apart from the old glory hunting variety)
Hope that clears it up for you?
podolski was tearing up the left wing in the first 30 mins of the first half, he’s disappeared since then!
Evo; I thought one of the Russian CBs was quality.
havent got an effin clue what his name was tho!
Spain are not the same since Cesc has gone off
My apologies Abdenor, have fun watching the game.
Rico (aka Mugabe), I thought we were all intelligent enough to take on other peoples opinions.
Probably a good decision by the Manager, Spain needed some more energy in the middle and anyway at least our little gem is safe.
Effin bonkers innit! This german side are getting slated; the worst German side in years, yet they are in the final and only 1 goal away from forcing extra time. (Ballack last min penalty )
Oh to be that shite (England that is)
Me too midoco, hence the apology – however, your last is quite insulting!
angry – Berezutsky or Ignashevich ?
aragones is smoking hash, strange subs…
I’m afraid that’s the internets fault, my comment was sent before your apology.
Spain should’ve put this game to bed ages ago!
Not long to go, 8min plus injury time !
Come on Spain!
If Gernaby equalise, would you put money against Jens being a hero,,,,,?
Come on you reds, for Cesc
woops, i meant Germany!
Nice on Evo. Think its Beruzutski.
midoco – fair point, but a reference to magabe in todays world, is that really a good idea ???
can ballack really be that much of a cockhead, he really is a wanker, how come he cant see that?
just a thought lads
what kind of team talk do u think Aragones gave before the game.?
do you think he told all the spanish boys that there better then that Black Shit!
only to turn to Senna and say, “no son i didnt mean you” lol
My apologies Rico for the inappropriate reference.
But when someone asks for my innocent opinion to be censored then it reminds me of someone in todays world.
lol raif
Senna MOM for me.
I don’t think Aragones subs were wrong as they needed more energy against the tough Germans
lets just get back to footie
HHHHHorahhhhhhhhhhhh for Cesc and Spain
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
A Euro Championship medal for Cesc, this could the be fist major trophy of many for him.
Well done Espana.
Bad luck Mad Jens you played well pal with 2 appaling CB’s some good saves mate. Good luck and Thans from an Arsenal fan who appreciates what you did.
We would be Champions if we had kept you in even though you are way past your best. That clown in our goal will never play in a Euro final like you have pal.
Well done Cesc Fabrigas, you will be the worlds best player very soon.
El Tel – Subs were right but Cesc is being by misused by Aragones imo!
He is their best play maker and therefor Xavi should’ve made way!
infact Cesc should’ve started every single match and am not being bias!
wooot….at last something for fabregassssssssssssssssssssssss
silva could have made way, he didnt do much!
well done cesc, a medal for you mate!
That Platini is a slimy tossa
Platini loves to get his big mug in every shot.
i feel sorry for jens, wish he could have gone out with a medal in some way?
there was a few nice hot chicks in the crowd!
I rate Ballack, I feel sorry for him and Jens.
I mean no matter how much some of you guys hate Ballack look at his career,
2 runner up champions league medals, 1 runner up world cup, 1 3rd place in the world cup and runner up now in Euros…
thats gotta hurt so close but yet so far.
I would have much rather Germany made the final against France two years ago…
I hate Italy the most…with their style they dont deserve any more championships.
Abdenor
to an extent I think you are right, Cesc was getting a kicking though and Aragones took him away from the war zone.
As much as I love Cesc I believe the Manager wanted a bit more power as the Germans were starting to get a head of steam before Cesc went off.
Xabi has lots of experience and he was never going to come of. Iniesta or Silva maybe but who cares they won and Cesc will be very happy and he is fit.
Platini is another Cunt.
i feel it would have been better if it was a Turkey Spain Final.
BUT i hope England Players takes a LOOOOOOONG HARD LOOK. at the teams that played Total football. Like Spain and Holland.
and the Never say Die Attitude of the Turks
and Learn somthing from them
Superb result
Funny Hansen and Shearer saying they were pleased that the entertaining team won the prize and that is the way it should be
Wonder why they slated us for most of the season then?
BBC has been truly shocking for pundits and commentary
Anyone else Spain dominating for a few years following this, they are a pretty young team and have bags of talent in reserve too
ja-gunner – no doubt on ballacks pedigree and results, he’s still a cunt though!
arsenalinsider says the nasri deal will be anounced by both clubs on july 1st officialy
I think Ballack is over rated. He is a good player but he should be taking games by the scruff of the neck and he doesn’t. he is a big fella and all I see is ankle tapping from behind and late tackles. He went banans when Cesc did it to him but was making out he was sorry when giving it out.
He doesnt have the excuse that Cesc is lightening quick either. Poor.
Lehmann handball outside the box, lost the ball outside the box and at fault with the goal … If that was Almunia he would have been slated!!
And I won the pen!!
The Beeb jackasses are disgusting apart from Martin ONeill.
When dancing boy was on tv we heard lots about him but at times it was as if Cesc wasn’t on the pitch.
cesc is getting interviewed
martin oniell was just saying how 2 seasons ago he thought senna was done and dusted, but he thought tonight he played a great game!
Right thats me done for tonight lads..
i need to get a Fix of Call of Duty 4 Before the Lady Starts Nagging at me to spend some time with her lol.
what is cesc saying…
i like the way arsene is playing hardball with other clubs and saying adebyewhore and pleb are not for sale as they are under contract…..im very sure this is just to raise their transfer price so we can sell them both for a considerably high price and buy some players who would really add quality to this arsenal squad.
David
Dont get angry mate, I have to reply. Almunia will never get in the Spain team as long as I have an arsehole. He won’t be making mistakes in a European Championship final because he will never get there.
I have a feeling I will be like Ethan re Ade at some stage next season when he lets us down.
I relly hope this doesn’t happen as it will cause me and many Gooners more heartache.
If Almunia fucks up and AW hasn’t got back up we could be in serious trouble.
Jens is finished but give the old guy some credit for being one of the best keepers in the Tournament and he was ours.
It was a good interview with Cesc
I am sure the content will be on the BBC site but basically
It is the best day of his football career
he is pleased beautiful football has won the day
He feels they are young and will seriously be up there at the world cup
Sorry El Tel I couldn’t resist!! lol
I know we don’t share the same view!!
night all grovers.
I respect your opinion David buddy and Im sorry for my ranting but I see the best team in the Prem with one of the poorest keepers. He really is average.
Lets see what this week brings. Can Arsen get on with his proper job now and sort out the mess.
Going now guys have a good night and I guess day for you Evo Gday mate.
k.. looking forward to a promising week*
nite all!!
Right now that Mickey Mouse Cup is over
Arsene, put down the Champagne and get your arse back over to London
You have a week before Pre-season
Lets start that reassurance that you promised us
cheers El Tel – catch you later on!
19 days till barnet game!
Espana are champions of Europe!
Goodnight!
Nite all those who are off..
Anyone left??
yep im still here…7.45am here
Sunday or Monday Evo? Where’s that midoco now we have more time??
Just watched Wenger interviwed on Setanta. He virtually answered every question with no! In particular the question, is Adebayor a nice boy?
I haven’t seen AW for a while, but he’s looking pretty good, & had a bit of steel in his resolve. I think Geoff could have something to do with it. When asked, “Arsene, do you read Le Grove, he said definitely NO!!!!! Ar have a poster of Kurt Angle on mar wall in mar awfice, but it as nusing to do wis Geoff. Zat is a rumour started bar Pedro.”
If he knows the editors of Le Graves names he must read it
Yippee! The Euros are over, now its back to the real business for Arsene Wenger.
I am so happy for Cesc what a player but a bit sad for mad lens but the best team won . Our new captian should be Fabregas A W should build the team around him .I have so much faith in him he is Mister Arsenal I take my hat off to that young man
we have the best midfeilder in the WORLD if any other player dont want to play whit us then they can fuck off
david – monday morning here!
bring on the signings now the euro is finished! only 19 days till new season kick off!
Evo what did you think of Cesc tonite
Whatever happens in the next couple of weeks has got to be better than the last month Evo.
The Nasri/ Ben Arfa saga.
Who is going to win out of the Wenger v Adebayor feud?
I think we need a biggish name this year, last year was a let down..
We dont need big names, just quality additions to the aquad IMO.
Cesc wasnt at his best as per the rest of the games, but he wasnt bad…the longer the game went on the better he got. I thought silva should have been subbed instead of him!
i hope wenger is flying back tomorrow morning ASAP! i presume he has been conducting business on the side of his commentating duties, so El Tel – fire up the arsenal photographer mate to get the snaps of the new signings!
David we have the best player in the world at the moment if other players dont want to play with him they cant be up to much!
Evo I agree he not at his best but the spainish does not tick whitout him he is the best in the World right now and he plays for ARSENAL
Evo;
The fact Wenger’s been away commentating wouldnt have prevented him from doing his day job, plus he would have got a chance to check out a few players too.
But, hopefully there will be some positive transfer activity this week.
terry;
Woah fella! Iniesta, Xavi and Cesc all pretty similar players for me, although Cesc is a Gooner and younger!
Terry I said the other day (and it makes my head swell lol) that when Ronaldo plays he lookes good , but when Cesc plays 10 players look good and DDM and El Tel gave me coment of the day what more can I say..
Angry how are you going to find quality players who haven’t made some sort of a name?
Even Eduardo scored against England before he joined and Sagns was player of the year or something..
Down the back of the sofa, probably.
actually iniesta had a great game, pitty he played on the left a lot but refused to use his left foot to shoot/pass. everyone said Senna MOM, but iniesta not far behind!
good comments lads, glad we’re all on the same page!
Big names for me, are the likes of Eto’o, Villa, Huntelaar, etc.
Eduardo, Sagna wouldn’t be in that bracket, well not before we signed em anyway.
Thomas Landofleather or Dennis Dfs??
Haha!
Ike A Flatpack would do for starters.
David well said Angry keep looking all Iam saying is that if they think that they are good enough to play with Cesc then come if not then fuck off
Are you saying you don’t want Eto’o, Villa or Huntelaar Angry?
I would have anyone of them tomorrow but I cannot see it happening.
Last year we lost a legend, signed a super right back, a average striker and a bad ass.
We need an improvement if we want to win something.
So… talk me through it!
How did Cesc play!
do we realy need the likes of thoese players what we realy need is c bs Micah Richards or richard Dunne
a few stray passes in the start pedro, but then a few nice thru balls, etc after that!
subbed on 63 mins for alonso, i reckon he should have stayed on and silva off, but im not the manager and it also means he stays un-injured!
