Morning Grovers!
Geoff is away at a golf day, so I thought I’d tell you an interesting story.
A couple of days ago Geoff and I were discussing the vacant CEO role at Arsenal. Out of the blue, Geoff said that he was a bit worried that Keith Wyness was going to pop up at Arsenal as the new Chief Exec. Keith is an old business associate of Geoff and I don’t mean they met once, they know each other very well.
So today, I opened up the Sky Sports website to read:
Wyness leaves Everton
I was shocked! Geoff had no insider knowledge about this, just a gut feel that Keith is the type of guy who could pull something like this off. Sky Sports are saying he is looking to take up a position at Real Mallorca… Now, I don’t know anything about the man, bar he is ambitious. Would Real Mallorca not be a bit of a step down at this stage in his career?
Who knows, all I’ll say Grovers is watch this space!








He plays for Arsenal… In his spare time he goes to school…(Insert first teamers name here) … oooohhhh…(Insert first teamers name here)…. ooooohhhhh!
Afternoon guys,
What a f*cking uninspiring signing that is! Odds on that being our last summer purchase?
Someone asked for Portuguese blood and we got Amaury Bitch-Off , No.28 Like Toure in the older days.
they’ve updated the pics… he looks like wayne rooney!!

Superb David
We are being harsh Pedro but it was obvious that this was the signing that Wenger was on about. It is not good enough.
We need someone that come a week tuesday is ready to step and make the difference in CM in that CL qualifier. This guy may turn out to be a gem, but I bet it wont be this side of Christmas.
I’m looking at the signing laughing… it’s almost entertaining it has got so stupid at Arsenal.
He could be great… but at the end of the day, we’ve signed him because he is injury prone and no one else wanted him… what a laugh… I bet Cesc is licking his lips at the prospect of signing him!
TJ.. that wasn’t even a purchase.. we didn’t buy him from any other club.. he was on a FREEEEEEE
He reminds me of the Stefan Malz signing!
Pat, I was only mucking about!
I think we will get Alonso if we can get him at a good price as the Bindippers need to sell they are as skint as us!
how many hours before kickoff people?
Two hours Choy.
thanks david!
Choy, good point! We really haven’t got a pot to p!ss in have we!
I got ridiculed on here yesterday as I advised some buisness friends to take some American Clients to Chelsea, Can you see why now?
I think the Corporate Market bring a lot of money into Arsenal and how long does this have to continue before it affects that market.
How long are you all going to put up with paying for the most expensive ticket in town whilst be stripped of our best experienced players every year without replacement. We have lost 2 key 1st team players and 3 experienced back ups and that does not include still playing the shite that is Eboue on the RW.
4 years ago, you went to see Pires, Vieira, Ljungberg, Bergkamp and Henry
Now they go to see Cesc and pray that RVP or Rosicky are not injured,
I am a seriously passionate Arsenal fan and just cant understand this transfer policy.
Wrighty was right the other day when he said he wanted a signing that got you all excited so that you could not wait until the season kicked off.
What is happening guys this is embarrasing.
I know Pedro
It is a Stefen Malz/Remi Garde signing isnt it
only fucking akb’s can get excited about the latest signing , hope you all have wet pants oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
toatl bollocks if i was no 7 or 11 i would be seriously worried
WORRIED MY SPOT ON THE TREATMENT TABLE WAS GOING TO TAKEN BY HIM!!!!!!!!
commentary during the game would be welcome for poor folks like me!!
thank you in advance!
just dont listen to AKB TV as the Commentary is shocking
Pat, I understand the second bit of you post… but taking clients to Chelsea? Never!
They’ll enjoy Arsenal more!
Pat
Its logical i think .. replace one starter with another
Not gamble on 2nd division players , or potential stars … 17 year olds etc..
We need to hit the ground running and turn up the heat on last season ..
currently we are all rained out ..
A strong start too the season is paramount .. the title race will probably be over by Christmas .. I dont think any club wants to win the EPL on goal difference or in the final weeks !
Im pissed off that one minute wenger ‘cant stunt’ the youth and the next minute
he will buy someone if they are free ! ??/ WTF ???… yet he states he’s got bucket loads of money to spend
but cannot morally BUY an experienced player over his youth , its unfair !!!
It all points to being skint !!!!
and the club having Millions to spend has to be a bullshit front !
it hasnt even made the BBC Website it is that much of a non story
Barry not going to liverpool?http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~1354618,00.html
Like I said yesterday Pedro there is no way I would go with them
But I know what Yanks want to see and it is sucess.
On that I think Scolari will bring attacking pass and move football to Chelsea, he is used to that with Brazil and Portugal. He knows no other way and Deco will help to bring it. I think they are favs next year to win it.

Just saw that David, fucking hell, see we should have jumped in there with a cheeky cash plus Hoyte offer.
are villa sponsored by CORNS? or popcorns?
Pedro………….. have you that resigned fuck it why do we even bother whats the point this is a joke we are a laughing stock attitude that has just flowed over me………. do you also have that half smile benused face, almost happy in a funny kind of amused way ????????? (Ihave)
I can’t stop laughing !!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is exactly what I have got Bud
It is not funny but comical at the same time
Great news on David Bentley here- we receive 50% of the 17m transfer fee! cheers spuds!
http://youngguns.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/arsenal-to-pocket-50-of-bentley-to-tottenham-fee/
Also bishcoff signed, lets see how he does- its only a one year contract so he’s obviously going to put in a big effort to hit the first team
trust all you grovers are enjoying the sun and looking forward to the big guns back tonight!
what is the point of a one year contract? If he does well he becomes a ‘flamini’ and goes elsewhere.
That sums me up right now BUD. I am sitting here not knowing what to do, and think to myself that this cant be the signing AW was talking about. SURLY NOT!
If it is a one year contract, it is prob bacause he as only played one game in three years, he would be an expensive signing on a five year deal.
“He came from hospit-al” “he plays for Arsen-al”
Well Done David that really made me chuckle
Im loving the headlines
Gunners clinch Bischoff deal – ananova
Gunners may face tribunal after Amaury swoop – daily mail (who else)
Boys and Girls, look at our squad and our reserve squad…there are over 50 players, most of whom are being BRANDED with Arsenal, to be later sold on
WE ARE A PUPPY FACTORY/TRAINING ACADEMY – but the Board have said that they are looking at the interests of fans in 20,30,40 years time. So we now become an Academy.
Gooner for life
My point is, we could improve him a lot in a year and lose him.
Words fucking fail me………….
Choy does this help? live feeds for tonite
http://www.ifutbal.com/videos/11490/live-arsenal-vs-vfb-stuttgart
Man City signed BenHaim-shit. we missed on my hope of a reinforcement in CD. damn. 5mil for a good and experienced CD-we r so fukced
from the picture..the guy looks like fuckin Eddie Munster…dunno..
Choy – AW’s not going for Barry probably because he doesn’t wanna lose Hoyte, as he sees him as our DM or our commanding CB or our token lovely fella………….we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel now, after tonight’s game i really want someone to ask Wenger if that was his last signing…………………and Odub old chum, if it is, be prepared for the rant of the fucking century!!
Me too Bud – Remember the old tune “They’re Coming To Take Me Away”?? Well that’s me that is…………’Happy Days’
how much more time for the Reality Check to start guys?
we dont know if this guy is any good and quite frankly i dont care. this signing has just told us and the rest of the world that we are well and truly skint!
how depressing
So now its Rui Fonte and a french guy waving Arsenals Portuguese flag can’t say im filled with pride
Hi people,
so we’ve signed Bischoff.
One thing that confuses me is where he is actually from. Is he French? Or is he Portugese? I hope Portugese because;
A) I can call him a Portugeezer,
and
B) He may progress to full international level for Portugal and injure Ronaldo in a training ground tackle.
thanks david.. but they probably have bill gates working here.. its all blocked!!!
thanks for the good will message wrighty
he’s french but plays for portugal………. don’t ask
Nicely planned Wrighty!
Guys!
Does anyone even know what kind of player Bishoff is? He plays right mid and central? But is he attacking or defensive?
Looks like my hopes of landing Kompany, Toure and Robinho were a little wide of the mark…Come on Ramsey!
oh i give up.
I CANT WAIT!!! I WONDER WHATS THE LINE-UP
What type of player is he Yangkamp?
Usually Injured
Anyone got a link for the game?
http://www.justin.tv/mstv_2
Here you go Treze
thanks TG i was watching some spanish one beforte then lol
Perhaps, when the window has closed, and we’ve signed 3 or 4 world class players, we’ll look back at today and say “how could we all have doubted Arsene”
Somehow I doubt it!!! We are in the deepest of doodoo!!
BKB – Bischoff knows best!!
lineups any1?
Almunia (cap) – Sagna – Gallas – Djourou – Clichy – Eboue – Denilson – Nasri – Walcott RVP – Adebayor
eboue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah
gallas is captain not almunia btw
FFS the Eboue Experiment continues
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
New kit!!! Gallas RVP, Clichy, Sagna, Almunia,
how would they line up then?
is nasri playing CM?
WTF is Diaby then?
Almunia shakes Jens hand in the tunnel!!
You cannot be fucking serious, he’s still picking that clown Eboue……….
This evening, Aston Villa can announce that Gareth Barry will be staying with the club following the interest from Liverpool over recent months.
During discussions in the past few days, a final deadline to conclude this episode was set that all parties were aware of and agreed to. This deadline has now passed and so Gareth will remain with Villa.
for link goto aston villa website.
is eboue playing DM???
evening all!! Beers at the ready, come on u gunners!!
Missed the line up?
Just saw Ade fall over though, who else is in?
eboue odub!!!
Fuck!
So this basically is our first 11, plus cesc?
how is nasri doing?
adebayor just offside deja vu?
Hasnt done anything so far, RVP almost chipped jens, apart from that nothing.
Surprise surprise Ade’s just been caught off side!!
I think Nasri will score a load this season, I really rate him, Eboue on again for fucks sake, good to see Djourou, shame about Denilson and not Diaby.
Real surprise to see Ade getting two offsides from 2 attacks.
Where the fcuk is Eboue playing?
Sagna and Theo down the right, nasri and Clichy down the left, is he the new AW experiment at DM?
No one saw it coming coz no other club was interested in the lame arsed nobody, fucking muppet commentators…………
ade is going for teh record of off sides, choy
we’ve signed the amahairy bitchass guy? Great news we have a full squad for the new season!
Bitchslap, who the fuck is he? what on earth is Wenger thinking, at 21, played for Werder Bremen once, what the…
chris that is what happens when you spend your time off searching for a better salary instead of improving your skills and working on your weaknesses!!!!
Why do i have this strange feeling that Eboue will be on the right wing instead of Walcott come the 1st game of the season
So that makes 4 signings for the new season, all midfielders. He’s already said no defenders or goalies, and we dont need a striker…..that means we’ve done all our business for the close season i think.
Apparently Hleb did well for us! Three years, eleven goals……………..well if that’s what consider doing well, two years of fuck all and one semi-decent season then he’s off…………yet another fucking gem from the mugs with the mics!
Mario gomez looks good again
DDM we won FA when he was at arsenal…..nuff said!
Adebayor is playing like a dog. Typical poor touch!
how many times does that dog wanna be offside
What is it with AW and Eboue??? It looks like he HAS to find a place for this clueless fuckwit in the team, he’s playing DM/CM………….
Exactly Odub, but listen to these two retards and he’s done well for us!
DDM just saw your comment from earlier, i’m out there for a week from 24/9
Theo’s had the best 2 chances so far!!
Nice touch there Eboue you talentless cunt……..
great ball rvp to theo, theo is getting stuck in,
Fuck me Odub, we’re out there on the 25/9 for four days!!
Mate that’s just spooky!!
Fuck me!! A well taken corner!!!!
hey there Lads.
has TogoTwat Been Boo’ed and how has Nasri been
aswell as any thing else to report
i see ade hasnt found his touch on his holidays!!! and i see he still loves an offside or two!!
Odub – You do realise we’ll be missing the home game against the mighty Hull!!!!
HT 0-0
I’ll live DDM!! I’ll catch it in a bar somewhere!!
i like our Yellow Away kit.
get that togo twat out… throw in nick!!
eboue playing defensive mid. I hope that isn’t a sign of things to come.
those two twats are getting up my tits. the guy cant string two words together without saying ‘you know……you know…..you know’ I will strangle him if i was there
Why the hell does he keep playing that cnut GUFC? I just dont get it, Eboue cant get in the team down the right, bench him, dont play him in a different position!!!
Thierry Henry Legend.
Out Now On DVD
That’s Martin Hayes I think Inside..
Evenin’ all…..so our new DMC is Eboue……..surprise!
I’d rather they put Bischoff on, he’s been signed today although I’m sure everyone knows by now, he’s one for the future.
Hopefully they’ll put some guns on in the middle at half time. Gallas looks a bit wobbly, no big improvement since Euro 2008, not happy about him tonight.
Jens has made some great saves. Great defending from Stuttgart so far, we need some quality in the middle to finish things off.
Eboue is like the last kid at school that ends up playing the last position that you dont have one else to play there.
Not a bad first half, bear in mind it is most of their first outings
Think we shaded it, Nasri looks handy and Djorou has looked ok at back. unlucky with the booking, as Gomez was pulling his shirt back to get ahead of him,
Get TT off he is playing shit
I don’t think Gallas plays as well at RCH.
we want nicklas!!!
yeah get rvp out too..
another guy on a different site said he had nightmares two days ago of eboue playing defensive mid. haha! his nightmare came through
and spuds 1-0 down to leyton orient it seems!!!
Choy RVP wass out there he is ok.. Bendtner on now and Vela, Fab2..
time to bubble wrap him david!!
OH MY GOD. are u watching Arsenal TV.
can u see the guy with the Red Black Tie & Bug eyes
he looks like General Akbar, from starwars with them big eyes of his
lol
Gomes looks a real handful. Shame he was so poo at the euros
one of the Pundits if ur wondering
what do u expect when justin hoyte is on. What a joke
1-0 Stuttgart…..awful defending from us….
so that elusive clean sheet is still far off!!
Oh yeaaaaah
VELLLLLLLLAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! man is a god
We’ve got carlos vela ela ela eh eh eh

Gelbs ??????????? Thats not the best
