Even the most ardent Gooner will have to admit that this summer has been a nightmare.
We’ve had players talk about leaving before, but never in the volume we have today. What is worse about the players leaving is the complete lack of respect they are showing on their way out.
We started the summer needing 2-3 world class players to enable us to compete next year.
We’ve lost Flamini, Gilberto, Lehmann. That is three so far… which to my mind means we need 5-6 new players?
It get’s worse though… Alex Hleb is almost a dead cert to be leaving and Adebayor is doing his utmost to get his move to Milan. So that would mean 7-8 players we need to compete?
Ok, so we’ve signed Ramsey… but he wasn’t even a regular for Cardiff, so write him off as a starter. We’ve still not signed Nasri even though his holiday has finished, Marseille have bought Arfa, the French tax year has changed, the full moon has passed…. etc etc…*
Are we really heading into this season banking on a load of kids who are at best, average?
I hope not.
I don’t want to wait another 3 years to have half a good season. Open that cheque book Arsene and make sure we are competitive… long termism is fantastic, but a healthy bank balance isn’t what makes most Arsenal fans tick.
We want our team to represent our outlay every season… If we’d known the deal after leaving Highbury was clinching 3rd or 4th every year for the next century… we’d have told you to keep your Emirates dream.
People talk about spoilt fans, well how about spoilt club? We’ve paid more and got less than the other top 4 teams for the last 3 years… we’ve never expressed our upset at the stadium, never booed a player and never been anything other than 100% behind the team.
We are owed Arsene… don’t allow this summer to become even more farcical than it already is…
*How random? Stupid fate tempting… See here for Nasri stuff! This happened when I was posting before and we signed Ramsey…! Read on for the details…
“We are delighted to be signing Samir Nasri. He is young, quick and technically an outstanding player. He has shown great potential with his performances for Marseille and the French national team over the past two seasons and he will add great quality to our squad.” Arsene Wenger”
“I’m very happy to become an Arsenal player, it means such a lot to me. This is a very important step in my life as a football player because Arsenal is a massive club. I really hope everything will go well for me here. I will my best for Arsenal and its fans and I am honoured to be part of such a great football club.” Nasri.

It’s amazing that we sign a 21 year old french international, and no one seems the least excited!!
we are excited……… on the inside
no in fact ill reserve my excitement until i see him scoring goals !
and hleb was in the team to Marshall the play ..
not score ! if nasri can do better , we will find out shortly …
until then theres a big relief that we have got someone in …
but bring on MORE signings .. !!!
because 1 player wont change our seasons fate !
bring in several and i’ll breathe easier !
and preferably over 23 yrs of age !!!
Odub – I shit on Spurs, i’d rather sign for Plymouth Argyle……….that’s in Scotland yes?
We might have to work on your Geography a bit…….

July 11, 2008 at 11:26 am
I like your spirit MADD!!! You’re def the kind of player we want at Arsenal!!
FUCK WE’LL TAKE ANYONE !!!
Pedro says “we’re going to be desperately short next year” MADD id 4’10″ he’s desperately short, he’s custom made for us!!
Mandingo, if you don’t start showing some respect I’ll put you in tottenham reserves, you short arsed fucker!! Now go & round the sheep up!!
Pierre – Size isn’t everything mutha fungler!!!!
Odub, as long as he knows where the goal is!
Let Tom Tom take care of the minor things!
Newcastle winger Charles N’Zogbia will have talks about his future with boss Kevin Keegan but is keen on a move to either Arsenal or Tottenham.
fuck me, that would be a bolt from the blue, midn you, its probably a bolt from the bulls arse!
Pedro. 1 week to go till we get the big interviews with Le-Grove with our new signings (eeerrrrrrrr???) at the Barnet game. Saying that, I can’t see Wenger letting the players actually into the players lounge….. i reckon it will be off the coach, get changed and get back on…… still we can but try !!!!!
GMR – You treat me like shit, you fecker………
Rumour has it that Pat Rice has asked Mandingo to come along and bring his boots in case we are short !!!!!!
Bud, I don’t think Arsenal know what press conferences are!! I suppose that unless they can make a couple of quid out of it they aren’t interested.
lol @ Pedro Tom Tom!! ha ha!!
No thanks to Nzogbia!!!
bud
your right we are always a bit SHORT in these pre-season fixtures .
So, what’s the chances of a double signing day? Get yer finger out GMR, get MADD his deal and that’ll be us sorted for next season…………..!
Ahhhhhhh I figured that GMR, thats why I got us tickets in the players lounge at Barnet…….. me and Pedro are going in unnoficial !!!!!!!!!
GMR you should also get your player a wiki page set up!! Chris can sort that out for you!!!
Looking forward to it bud!
I am unsure how to play the Le Grove thing…? Are Arsenal footballer AKB’s? Will there be a violent back lash?
Nzogbia, no ta!
Morning everybody.
Just clicked on arse.com .
The advert for the home kit only has Cesc on now No ADE!
According to PR’s son, Hleb’s deal with Barca was completed yesterday………..
The first interview will probably be on Arsenal TV tonight….
Did it ever?
david, theres an advert on arse.com to download the latest Ade anemation for your phone, it shows him packing his case and fucking off
DC – No chance. They haven’t even had a training picture or a return to training interview with a player yet. Still running reruns with Keith fucking Edelman !!!!
Chelsea’s channel has training ground film, new interviews with the players, new season reviews the lot………. we have the same fucking shit we were fed for a tenner a month last month and the month before………. Arsenal treat us like shit and don’t give a fuck, trust me !!!!!!!

KEEP ON DREAMING MR. BENITEZ!!!!!
Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has dismissed reports he’s a closet Tottenham fan.
“It’s not true,” he said. “I absolutely hate Spurs and always have done.”
Kenya, rafa is a 100% wanker!

edit at your hearts content,
Arsenals Website has gone down !
not for me bud
Dein has doubts over the income from the Highbury Square residential development. “At Arsenal, something has to break. Nothing lasts for ever. The board, because of their age – and a couple of them are not well – will change.”
I lied……. my system gone down !!!!!!
Bud – it’s crashed on me too……….
Oops, i lied, it’s back up!
Bud – Keep on refreshing that page.
That shows the magnitude of Arsenal supporters worldwide.
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!
Wenger has prized Adebayor out of the market and there is no way he will be given first team preference next season. His place should be taken by my favourite striker Walcott to partner with RVP.
Wenger’s want-away generation paint Arsenal into a cornerManager faces new problem as still developing players flex their muscles for money, writes David Hytner
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/jul/11/arsenal.premierleague?gusrc=rss&feed=football
The chairman, Peter Hill-Wood, and his directors have repeatedly said since the move to the £357m Emirates Stadium in 2006 that Wenger has had money to spend. The club borrowed £260m for the move at a fixed rate of 5.3%, which looks very good in the current financial climate, and their annual repayments of £13.78m are manageable. They have sold 91% of the units at the old Highbury and expect to make £300m upon completion of the development, and the new stadium has almost doubled match-day revenues.
The last trophy, though, was in 2005 and departures from the squad Wenger is trying to develop can only fracture the rhythm. He will not change his methods but, if the want-aways blossom elsewhere, the lines in his brow may yet deepen
I am actually thinking about getting
Dkembe Dkembe No.8 on my Shirt
As for Nasri, I am happy he is here at last, but I think the excitement factor of it all was drowned out by how long it took to sign him
I Still think we are short once Hleb goes.
I know Ramsey and Vela are talented prospects but not sure if they can show this season. Maybe Arshaving is being lined up…..but not at 19m I doubt there was even at that much, its more likely that the club is trying to raise his value. If it was Chelsea they would have publicised the fact they turned down a Chelsea offer.
So me we will still need another wide player, CM, CB and a replacement for Ade if he goes. then I am happy
So is this one signing supposed to be the much vaunted “reassurance” ?
Cos – bloody -mic !
I think MANDINGO 8 would look better !
Villa is coming. Just got a feeling in my bones, even more so after Benitez pulled out !
And it would not be the first time the Website has put a player in a number when it was not confirmed.
Go back over history and usually a seperate statement is made re numbers, i.e. Arsenal can announce Mandingo will be taking squad number 666 for the forthcoming campaign.
just for a laugh, please google mandingo and tell me what the first result is!!!!!
my line up for next season so far
Almunia (shouldn’t be but still)
Sagna,toure,djourou(i have faith in him),clichy
just not eboue,fabregod,ramsey,nasri
Eduardo,RVP
if we can get arse shavin or the hunter for £19m, i’d take the hunter every time.
like they say in south pacific “you got to have a dream, if u dont have a dream, how u gonna have a dream come true?”!
Chris I was in the BA lounge in Manchester , in the corner, alone, she comes in, crosses the empty lounge and sits opposite me and starts yakking on her mobile to you know who.
I told her to fuck off and sit somewhere else, she was so stunned she couldn’t talk, I picked up my newspaper and bag and sat somewhere else.
True story!
I was reading an Arsene Wenger exclusive at the time, that’s true as well.
i did earlier, first two are le grove and eth other is setanta!
fucking classic Geoff, good on ya!
chris I meant just his first name, without the double barrelled last name.
Odub – Just Googled Mandingo, and not only is he our 4’10″ pocket dynamo, but he’s a pron star too!!!
*** pron = porn
yeah that’s the bit I wanted to point everyone’s attention too!! He’s a porn star!!! lol!!
Are we sure this guy is really only 14? I mean he seems to have accomplished a lot in his relatively short life time!!
Porn Star, Footballer, trend setter and all round good guy…. I give you MADD!!!
if he’s a porn star thats good, bringing in extra incomme he wont be tempted by to jump ship a la flamini!
Am I the only one that thinks those Nasri pics look like they were taken in a council estate block in Peckham?
BLIMEY – WIKPEDIA SAYS MANDINGO’s DONGO is 11 & 3/4 INCHES….
Mandingo (born February 25, 1975, in Mississippi) is an African-American pornographic actor. He currently has a Bachelor of Arts.
He grew up in the Carson/Torrance area of Los Angeles, California and is raising an asthmatic daughter as a single parent. He did not choose his name based on the movie Mandingo but rather because it was given to him as a nickname in college.[2] He has Mandinka West African ethnicity.
His penis is 11 3/4inches in length.[citation needed], and several fellow porn actors claim that Mandingo has the biggest penis of any porn star. [3][4]
Odub – Not forgetting sheep herder too!
Ok ok… you busted me… I am mandingo!
Guess he wont be wearing shorts for games then?
Yeah and that Nasri looks 11 years old and is not even as tall as the trunking, which I always though was generally hung at 3 & 1/2 foot !!!!!
Odub – That fecker GMR works me like a fucking dog!
Nasri looks like a shifty inbred pikey….. does that concern anyone else???
Pedro, you lie, I AM MANDINGO !!!
You all lie, i am Mandingo, you mutha fuckers!
Eh Bud, Pedro,
explain this one to me…..Mandingo is of African origin…how the fuck can you 2 possibly be him then?! I AM MANDINGO!!!!
Are you being fuckin racist Odub or what ?!!!!!!!!
Is it because I am white you are saying I am not of African origin, that is such a 90′s attitude??????!!!!!
He’ll be the billy bollocks Bud, I’m off now for a while!
I know quite well you’re of Belgian decent BUD!!!!!
Kevin Pertersen is of african origin Odub….
Pierre, I know, I’ve met these 2, and if they’re of African decent I’m half Chinese and half Mohincan!
Is Lewisham in Africa?
I blow off in your general direction, you fecking imposters!
Odub is in fact telling the truth, I am a rare mix of English & Belgian…….. however he lies about his origins…….I have met him and can confirm he is in fact half African half Mohican with a hulk blood dissorder, so why pretend he is Chinese heaven knows !!!!!!
Anyway, I am not Mandingo, I am am his half brother Manbreasto !!!!!!
watch the nasri interview here.
http://101greatgoals.magnify.net/item/6ZMRMB5HWT8FQJ59
HES AN AKB!!!!!! “maybe the best manager in the world right now”
His voice isnt exactly what i expected either
thank you ethan….
nasri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is his number anyone?
8. its on the first team section of Arsenal.com
^^^to choy btw
thanks tr13…..
Crouchy went to Pompey
Thank fuck for that
HELLO THERE LADS.
THE FUNNYEST THING HAPPEND TO ME TODAY.
i was queing in Tescos watching Sky News on the big screens they have, and suddenly im looking at Nasri in a arsenal shirt.
the laugh from me was so loud every one turnd around looking at me asif i was crazy.!
iypiiiiiiiii-finally signed him:)) I was so bored I allmost didnt notice it. so 1 signed and we need 5 or 6 more then.
11 goals in 145 games???????? Hope he doesnt turn Pleb No2 for us – dribller,passer ,but not scorer.
Its seems infectious this now -everyone wants to leave us ?? Even the womens team !
Thank god 200 other footballers want to join us, acc to AW.Most of them under 18 unfortunately.
I fuckin hate Gum chewers and who wa sthat prick taking the photoss???!!!!!
you hear the music in the background? that was Eboue and Adebayor practicing their goal celebrations a la Derby in the pub car park down the drive!
Very funny you lot, stop hiding……….. I’m getting fed up with your stupid “Lets Hide From Bud” games every fecking day……… it’s getting boring alright !!!!!!
Ahhhhhh Pierre, they didn’t tell you then about hiding from me about this time every day !!!!
Bud, I am here!
What’s going on?
Oh, I see we have signed someone… and we are seriously looking at Huntelaar!
shit, have i spoilt the game, i just got back in from a pub lunch, really feel like working now!
Boo!
Nice liquid lunch consumed, although was rather ruined by the fact that office spud decided to tag along and then proceeds to repeatedly insist that they will finish in the top 4 this season!!
I say repeatedly because each time he tried to start saying it the other 5 blokes (4 gooners, and a scouser) at the table burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter!!!
Now then Odub, i seem to recall you berating me for even talking to a SPud, but you’re actively socialising with the feckers……………do i see a touch of double standards before me!!
I say…
Ade for 30 + another French guy
Hleb for Yaya + 5
Buy Huntelaar
And we should be set
Nasri
Vela
Yaya
Huntelaar
Gouffran
(Ramsey)
A fit Rosicky?
A fit Eduardo?
A fit RVP?
DDM the cnut just kinda tagged along, not my doing I promise!! I feel unclean!!
Gourcuff
What is so good about this Huntelaar chap everyone keeps going on about? He wasnt even good enough to start for Holland!!
Odub – emery board and liberal amounts of swarfiga should do the trick fella!
Huntelaar is Klass
But aparantly, Real has first option on him
Cheers DDM!!
I dont doubt that Trini, but I’d still rather have someone who’s played in this league to replace Adebayawn!
Santa Cruz – some say injury prone, and wasnt great at Bayern, I’d have him.
Berbatov – some say moody, I’d have him because he’s a top finisher, and it would piss off the spuds!!! Win win situation I’d say!

Trinidad Gunner
Agree 100% you have my vote ????
Bud, I’ve been away secretly filming Mandingo. He is trying to get a new agent & as for him being a porn star I was trying to keep that quiet. He is already barred from Wales due to the amount of sheep he’s had!!
HELLLOOOOOOOOO!!!!
IT’S A BIT TOO QUIET ON HERE FOR A FRIDAY ISNT IT?!
Santa Cruz has been around for a long time its suprising that he’s just being noticed …. I think it was the 2002 world cup? He looked good with nelson cuevas I think it was
Just for you DDM!!
David Beckham had a near death experience the other day when he went horseback riding. Everything was going fine until
the horse started bouncing out of control.
He tried with all his might to hang on, but was thrown off.
With his foot caught in the stirrup, he fell headfirst to the ground. His head continued to bounce on the ground as the horse
did not stop or even slow down. Just as he was giving up hope and losing consciousness, the Woolworth’s manager came
out and unplugged it.
classic odub
An Islington school teacher explains to her class that she is a Spurs fan.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Spurs fans.
Everyone in the class raises their hand expect one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, “Janie, why didn’t you raise your hand?”
“Because I’m not a Spurs fan,” she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Spurs fan, then who are you a fan of?”
“I am an Arsenal fan, and proud of it,” Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie, tell me, why are you an Arsenal fan?”
“Because my mum is an Arsenal fan, and my dad is an Arsenal fan, so I’m an Arsenal fan too!”
“Well,” said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, “That is no reason for you to be an Arsenal fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were a moron and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?”
“Then,” Janie smiled, “I’d be a Tottenham fan.”

“Doctor,” the embarrassed man said, “I have a sexual problem. I can’t get it up for my wife anymore. “Mr. Thomas, bring her back with you tomorrow and let me see what I can do.” The next day, the worried fellow returned with his wife. “Take off your clothes, Mrs. Thomas,” the medic said. “Now turn all the way around. Lie down please. Uh-huh, I see. Okay, you may put your clothes back on.” The doctor took the husband aside. “You’re in perfect health,” he said. “Your wife didn’t give me an erection either.”
haha! Nice one! 2 I can remember!
Three girl friends have met up for their weekly meal together and are discussing their relationships.
One of them is engaged, one is a mistress and the other is married.
They decide that to try and surprise their men that night
all three will dress up in a leather S&M style bodice, red stilettos and a mask.
The next week they meet up again and compare their experiences.
The engaged girl says, ‘The other night, when my fiance came home, he found me in the leather bodice, the high red stilettos and mask covering my eyes. As soon as he
saw me he grabbed me saying “I love you” and carried me upstairs where we made love all night.’
The mistress says, ‘I went up to my lover’s hotel room where he was waiting for me and knocked on the door. I was wearing the leather bodice, the red stilettos, and the mask, with my fur coat on top. When I entered the room and dropped my coat to the floor, he said “Wow” and we made love all night.
The married girl say ‘Hmmph, I got myself dressed up the same as you two, leather bodice, red stilettos and mask over my eyes and waited for my husband to get home from work.”
“He opened the door, came in and said “Evening Batman, what’s for dinner?”
fucking bat man classic LOL
Where’s everyone gone?
Seen as it is quiet… New Batman anyone? It looks pretty awesome…
I’m done now!!
Someone else have a go!! Where goonajay when you need him?!
Who’d fancy Brad Friedel between the sticks? He’s available (NewsNow).
The Prems best keeper according to Opta… but gotta be about 37 now?
Hell yeah Pedro! Been waiting ages to see that too!
Pedro – i cant wait for this new batman. iv been eger to see it for ages ever since the end of the firt movie were u see Gordan Given Batman the Joker card. the Dark feel of the movie i really good
is* i mean
I think Brad would be good competition for our Torquay waiter, the bugger always has a blinder against us so it’d be nice having him keeping the oppo’s strikers out rather than ours.
But Wenger probably won’t go for him as he’s over 19.
Heath Ledger looks awesome… someone told me he got all fucked up filming it because he got so into the dark aspect of his character!
Heard that too!! He just looks so creepy in all the trailers I’ve seen. And I think there’s a few more intresting Bat gadgets to be seen as well.
