Peter Hill-Wood listen to this, Le Grove strikes back!

by & filed under Uncategorized.

 

Peter, you’re talking out of what you should be sitting on, time to shut up or move over. This is for you.

You told the Daily Star:

‘The first lesson is you don’t necessarily do everything the fans want you to do, we are very nearly there, but not quite. I think we are quite happy, we are not going to buy somebody who doesn’t improve the squad.

I keep saying money is available but I am not going to say how much. But it is enough to buy an experienced international player. We have won one match and lost one in the league and hopefully we will be in the draw for the Champions League. We didn’t play well at Fulham on Saturday but I think all this stuff about us having to buy a complete lot of new players is rubbish’

First of all, the first lesson you mention, what is it you’ve done that we the fans wanted? You bought a new stadium that incidentally we all love, in order for us to compete, then you say we’re skint?

Then you say you’re not going to buy anybody that doesn’t improve the squad, why is that then Peter? We’ve lost 11 players already this season, do you think we are stronger by losing 11 players and bringing in two injured ones, two 17 year olds – of which one isn’t even in the first team and a 21 year old that has played only in France?

All you have done is weaken the team by what, 7 players? Last season we were short anyway.

It’s also worth pointing out that since January we have only brought in (note I said brought and not bought) Nasri, Bischoff, Ramsey and Silvestre, two actually cost us money.

We have lost or sold Diarra, Flamini, Lehmann, Gilberto, Hleb, Senderos, Hoyte, Barazite, Gibbs, Traore and Gilbert.

That’s 11 out and 4 in, and two of those four are injured. We also bought Coquelin but he went into the reserves and is not in the first team squad.

If anybody from Arsenal or anywhere else can tell me how that makes us challengers, please comment today.

Being an Arsenal fan is very testing at the moment, I will of course always be a fan, no matter what you people do to my club, but I might stop funding it and I might sell my shareholding to someone else, if that’s the only way I can be heard, then maybe I’ll do it, there’s plenty of small shareholders out there and many more that pay into this black hole we call Arsenal football club.

Peter, your dad would be rolling over in Herbert Chapman’s grave after your spoilt rich boy comments, who on earth do you think you are insulting? We’re the people that pay your wages?

When I was a teenager I used to go to Arsenal and sit in the directors box with tickets supplied by Dennis Hill-Wood, your dad, a true gent, unlike his privileged son, who thinks insulting the fan base and sucking up to the manager is the way to winning silverware.

Here’s what our manager has fed us since May.

These aren’t exact quotes but it gives you the gist of what he has said.

1. We lacked something at the back from high balls at set pieces, I will rectify that.

You haven’t.

2. I won’t be signing a centre back, you can print that.

You have.

3. The most important thing is to keep this squad together, no-one else is leaving, no-one

They have.

4. If I buy in new players it will kill the young players.

Silvestre / Senderos killed…

5. I will sign 2 to 3 players, the fans won’t be disappointed.

They are.

6. I will sign a Flamini replacement before the second leg against Twente.

You haven’t.

7. I surprised you all by signing Silvestre.

You sure did Arsene.

8. We are good enough to win the ECL and the EPL.

You are kidding, right?

So this Peter is why we ask for signings, because of expectancy, it’s all part of football, signing quality players, it’s why we pay so much for our tickets, not to watch a four year work-in-progress, if you want to indulge that, fine, lower the prices, you can’t have your cake and eat it.

If you would like to further this conversation I can come and meet you, today, before the game, I’ve already met Danny Fizman, David Dein and of course your Dad. And it was because of your dad I became a real fan.

Please don’t treat this loyal fan base like they work at your house emptying bins, they don’t, many of us have been coming to games for as long as you have, sitting in the cold, queuing for refreshments, waiting for trains on cold, wet and windy platforms, many aren’t as lucky as you, to inherit a football club, so please, show some respect and read some of the blogs and their comments, we’ve had it, and if you don’t watch it, someone will come in and take it all away from you.

I can’t think of one site that doesn’t support this board, I can’t think of one site that supports Red and White, but take that for granted at your peril.

We don’t always agree with the other blogs, in fact we rarely do, but make no mistake, they are all Arsenal fans, your site Arsenal.com is appalling, it never has its own opinion and publishes news that we’ve all been reading on other sites all day, and using the same Arsene Wenger quotes, so he must have spoken to someone, why can’t Arsenal.com be first?

Perhaps you need to bring in a few new faces there and explain what exclusive news is.

Okay onto football, we need a big win tonight to get us back on track, so get behind the boys, sing your hearts out and let us at least qualify.

4 nil the Arsenal!

    Right guys – i have upset enough of you re Nik aka Jeffers…. ;)

    Im off, and hope this result gives the boys a bucket load of confidence, tomorrow is signing day………………

    Yep I have a birthday card to sign!!

    Night night all – sleep safe, and dream of ………….. Villa

    FM – Jeffers has got a tap in :) :) Tee Hee

  29. Gooner07

    fuvck i cant watch that liverpool shit game…thanks guys for the streaming links..have to say denilson looks better in europe..we need a Song for PL match. Song looks reassured, and never missed a pass, got a good touch, and can block shots. He’s going to be a good player for us. Cesc looks good. RVP – bad. Theo – surprisingly good. Nasri – Class (as I’ve always maintained for past two ywars). Overall not a bad day. But our players should keep focussed on the result. It’s important to win by 2-0 or more, rather than scrap a 1-0 or 2-1! FFS!

  31. Big Raddy

    Well, that was extremely pleasant viewing. But it must be said Twente were at best a mid-table Championship side.

  33. hounddog

    Job done!!! Another 10 million guaranteed…… now for the signing in the next 48 hours. Can’t believe how some of you are all over RVP; give him a break for christ sake he has not played in an eternity, what about Bendnter, was he shit or what.

  38. jimmyfingers

    Pleasant viewing but I’m not sure any questions have been answered tonight. Less angst on the boards tomorrow but we’ll see if we sign anyone and how the result goes at the weekend

  51. jimmyfingers

    It’s Bluto from Animal House a.k.a. John Belushi. Legend

    Go Liege!

    There’s an unhappy female in my house who thought the football had finished with Arsenal

  53. Evo in Oz

    choy – first 15 done.

    yeah he scored, but from games ive seen him play, i havent seen what i thought he was meant to be

  56. patthegooner

    Maryland

    Do you live anywhere near Bethesda, I am out there working in a couple of weeks and wondered if you can watch Arsenal in any bars anywhere

  61. Pierre

    babel is fucking pond scum, he’s actually a gooner, then he fucking dives and cheats us out of the CL, what a grade 1 wanker.

  64. raif

    haha luck has evend its self out. the scouse cunts had a penalty shout, but the ref waved it away.

    i say Good. they got a penalty given against us last year, and they didnt get one now. so luck has evend its self out.

    the fuckers will have to work harder to get there winning goal

  70. Ja_Gunner

    Even though I want Liverpool to lose….its better they win today I think.

    Finest Cuts pointed it out some weeks ago that if they drop out now, they have atleast 6 less games, so they will be more fit and focused in the league.

    What do you guy think?

  73. jimmyfingers

    Lucky twats, they knicked it! And the commentator says ‘and the Reds march into Europe’. More like ‘the Reds trip and do a comedy fall into Europe’

  77. raif

    yeah agree Gunner. having them in the CL would give them more games. i just wanted them to have more problems off the pitch aswell as on it as them losing would have been big trouble for rafa.

    and would bring the possible sale of players

  78. Pierre

    Ja gunner, I think i would have bloody loved it if the scouse gyppos had got knocked out, but they are so fucking poxt that was never going to happen.

  79. Evo in Oz

    if that commentator was doing our game i would have had to mute it.

    thank god for tommy smyth with the Y

    hahahah! :-)

  84. goonermichael

    The comentator on itv is a scouse loving cocksucking cunt. What a load of absolute bollocks. I fucking hate the scouse bindipping lucky cunts.

  93. goonermichael

    May I just add that Alan Hansen is a motherfucking cocksucking ugly retard cunt. I feel much better now

  94. raif

    Evo – lets hope they get dumped out good and proper by Us this year, i want revange. and i want blood for last seasons bullshit at the Shit house.

    treze13 – there ugly fans have probably never worn a suit and tie in there lifes. probably turn up to a wedding or a job interview with nothing but a Adiddas track suit

  95. Rob From Aus

    That was an interesting read geoff, unfortunately it will only fall on deaf ears mate. Peter hill-wood dont give a fuck about anyone but himself, it is so frustrating being a gooner i feel, I cant see us competing in the league purely because of a lack of depth, however the reason for a lack of success cant be constantly blamed on bad luck and poor refeering, and fuck livergay is a lucky bunch of cunts! good article tho Geoff

  96. patthegooner

    You might as well put a months wages on Liverpool winning it after that, spawny fuckers

    As for us, it was better but I think despite some improvement the concerns are still there for me.

    Denilson was not great and the 1st half was a continuation of his performance against Fulham.

    I am also worried about our strikers, they all seem to be out of sorts at the moment and that needs to change.

    Theo confuses me, I wonder if he is going to be one of those players like Merson was who is incredibly inconsistent. This is a massive season for him and he needs to do that week in week out, I thought he was better left than right.

    Wenger top tip. Clean sheet so leave the back 4 alone.

    Song I just cant get excited by, I know loads of people rate him, but I want to see him played in a high pressure game to fully make my mind up. He just reminds me of some bloke you see on Hackney Marshes playing Sunday League football.

    I just hope that that extra money that has now been Guaranteed is going to be spent on a couple of players and I hope that thrashing a average Dutch team who could not really give a fuck will not paper over some pretty big cracks in the squad.

  99. patthegooner

    oh and was that Mark Lawrensen commentating on us, he seemed like he was watching the Liverpool game on a live feed somewhere. He did not have a clue what the fuck he was talking about.

  102. HelsinkiGooner

    843 – fuckin Luckypool — they prob woulda taken it with pks, but if that late offside against liege hadn’t gone up…

    Theo’s goal had Henry written all over it – sublime curl round the keeper’s hand, into the far corner

  103. goonermichael

    I’ve been on the scotch cos I’ve got a cold. think I’ve overdone it! I forgot to say Shearar is a balding cunt. Lawrenson is just odd.

  106. goonermichael

    I hope Theo’s confidence is high now. He’s still a kid . I couldn’t wipe my own arse when I was his age.

  108. HelsinkiGooner

    pathegooner – did you not think Gallas looked shaky?? once almost gave up the pk, and then late on his hesitancy may have cost Almunia an injury.

    Almunia was also shaky come to think of it – lucky it was offside when he came for the cross at the edge of the 18 yd box….and missed it while the fwd headed it over him…

  109. Pierre

    goonermichael, he may be the luckiest kunt alive, but he’s also one of the ugliest, only left holland to avoid the batty boys and fuck me (or him) he ended up a a cunts club!

    foul mouthe rant i know, but im well pissed tonight, we won comfortably so tight arse wenger wont spend anything now, and the scouse cheating scummers fluked the result like they always do. Plus I’m also rambling cos stella was on offer at the offy tonight, so i had to get me a shed load of that!

  110. Catford

    JD must get a run of games now. He is starting to look very assured. Can AW possibly resist the urge to bring back Kolo?

  112. goonermichael

    Pierre as I said I’m on the scotch. Don’t normally drink alcohol and it’s made me a bit aggressive. I think we’l have one new player before the season starts. Fuck knows who, Maybe wenger knows. They were a shit team but we still did ok we could of embarressed ourselves. Or had to rely on a late goal goal from yellow man.

  115. Trindle

    Cracks papered over – nothing wrong with our squad. Apologies to PHW for what I’ve called you in the last couple of days. youre right, the present numbers will se us through Premiership, CL, FA Cup and CC … whatever was I thinking.

  118. patthegooner

    Ha Ha Trindle, but this is what will happen.

    Helsinki he did at times but i think he looks better with Djourou than Toure.

    Toure has not been the same player since ANC and I just dont get why.

    RVP was the biggest concern to me and he has to start delivering soon.

  119. Trindle

    Pat, I really rate RVP – but he’s the Matt Le Tissier luxury-type player unless you have a solid midfield feeding him. Denison has some lovely touches but he’s not Cesc (or Flamini or Hleb) – and I’m not sure we can risk however many games it would take to find out whether he is the real thing. With a strong midfield, I think RVP will show he’s the real thing.

  126. Big Raddy

    The bastard scousers are so lucky. How many times do they get a goal 90 seconds before the end of play ?

    Hope we get the chance to fuck them over. Like we would have done last season , if it wasn’t for Bendtner’s foolishness, and Babel’s diving.

  130. SIMON MCAHON

    why i’m on the case of the overated rvp its because he plays at a different level for an ordinary dutch national team ,end product,
    he has played in the euro’s had a fulll pre season , and is woeful ,tonights finishing was an example of that,
    a couple of good crosses from set pieces , he’s becoming our david beckham , an overated luxury we cant afford.
    and HE SHOULD NOT BE OFFERED A BETTER CONTRACT ,
    PLAY FOR IT YOU FUCKER.

    TONIGHTS performance papering over cracks is a great description ,
    the toon next cant belive they have more points than us what does that tell you?
    i hope nasri went off as a precution as with the manager telling every one that his squad is good enogh i fear the worst.
    5 days left we better see some player movement coming in
    I know AW WHY DONT WE SIGN krancjar from pompey he will be out for 3 months
    so this will continue your recent trend
    bitchslap, silvestre , great investment
    money well spent .
    Fucking get serious wenger stop embarrising us gooners with your stupid ramblings that the squad is good enough,
    Even stevie wonder can see thats bollocks ………

  132. mark

    For those of you who still think Bendtner is more than a championship player then sadly you don’t know much about football, class, flair and finesse when you see it on a football pitch. For gods sake get rid of him before we face real pressure. Big team defenders just love to have sulky arrogant nic playing against them who thinks he’s gods gift but hasn’t been endowed with any god given talent. I’ve always said the same about Ade but it’s too late for him to go now and I suppose we are stuck with nic as well. Oh well was it rico that likened him to Jeffers?? I see what you mean Rico but why do we have to put up with this poor quality of players …. buy buy buy Wenger.

    Geoff, Pedro

    Gretar Le Grove prediction … 4 – 0

    What was the atmosphere like? Was there any of the “Alonso” (or similar) chants?

  141. SIMON MCAHON

    BUD how’s your voice?
    your hatred of the TT has spread to me but my target is rvp ego…….
    barn door comes to mind…..

  146. Evo in Oz

    spilt a glass of sav blanc on my keyboard last night, still works a treat today!

    come on you gunners, lets kill newcastle this weekend!

  147. Evo in Oz

    asap trindle.

    galatasaray out – bad luck kewell, should have come to the gooners when you had the chance!

  148. Trindle

    Few positive from tonight – really hope we carry them through to Saturday against the Toon. Few negatives too … but nothing a couple of signings couldn’t correct before … not holding my breath!

    Right now at a point of pissedness that it is taking five mins for every comment and sleep is about to happen whether I want it or not.

  149. Pedro

    Trindle… poo atmosphere mate!

    I have just written the report… good game, good result… but lets put it in perspective!

    A win is a win… who is getting 900?

  150. Wolski

    Just got back from the game. Well not sure anything has been answered from my point of view. Twente had nothing to offer in relation to what a premier league team will such as we saw at Fulham. While the result will of course boost morale in the squad after the weekend and hopefully we can build on this to take into the PL game against KK’s lot. For me against a very poor side we made defensive errors without being under pressure and that will be punished if we continue this type of poor judgement and concentration. Attacking wise we looked much sharper and Nasri, Theo and Fab certainly look to have what we need to challenge but who that other spot goes to I could not say…maybe Song…or for me we need a new experienced face….Alonso?? Upfront for me I am still not convinced what our best pairing is. I was disappointed not to see Vela,,,I think he may have the something we need in teh final third.

    I also think that the fan pressure is getting to Adebayor. He has not settled since saying he was staying. He needs to come out with an apology to the fans before he can move forward. he got boo’s again today..not from me…there was a quick chant but only from a small section of the crowd…his song has disappeared completely…he must be feeling it. He needs to be honest and apologise…noy hide behind lies.

    Oh well..beddie byes now…draw tomorrow….Newcaaaastle Saturday….Luvverly Jubbly
