Pires tips Arsenal kids, Aragones is no racist and my arse is a kipper!

So nice to hear Arsenal old boy Robert Pires is saying our kids are like ripening fruit and this year they will win the title, cheers Bobby!

Arsene Wenger says Aragones is no racist, well I don’t know him and I wasn’t there at the Henry/Reyes incident but you can’t called people black bastards and not expect to be called a racist, my advice there Luis, move on, keep your head down and as I said to someone yesterday, chuck the shovel away.

My arse is a kipper was sarcasm, because if Aragones is not a racist, then my arse can be a kipper, when Ron Atkinson commented on a chav once, he was banned from commentating, when Rodney Marsh said he thought a Tsunami was the Newcastle fans he got fired from Sky in the commercial break, so when Aragones said what he said he should have been tin tacked on the spot and the Spanish FA should have been thrown out of the World cup for the abuse that Cole and Wright Phillips got in Spain (I know, I know).

You can’t have a one rule for them and a one rule for us system, if you do, then my arse becomes that kipper. Quack, quack (I can’t do a kipper noise, quack will have to do)

I watched the greatest fans in the world last night at St. James’s Park and there must have been a problem with the crowd as there were empty seats everywhere, it can’t have been the fans because as everyone says, they are the worlds best.

The fact that we get 56,000 for a reserve team match means nothing, they are the best, despite their accents, perhaps there was wet paint on the seats and they couldn’t sit on them, I don’t know, what do you think?

Tonight we dine in hell and I expect nothing other than a win. I think we should start with Bentner and Robin and play 4-4-2, but I won’t hold my breath, Nasri is injured but don’t expect Vela, it will be RVP out left and Eboue will take over from Theo, who will be benched and Ade alone up front.

I hope like hell he won’t be and that Eboue Djourou Silvestre and Clichy form the back line, with Diaby Cesc Theo and Vela in the middle and Bendtner and Robin up top.

No Song please, I watched the reserves last night and having watched them before, these are the people I would try in midfield before Song.

Ramsey, Wilshere, Coquelin, Bischoff, Randall (yes Randall) Lansbury Dunne or Thomas, if any of you watch the reserves you’ll all see that this lot are better than him, so why oh why does he get picked?

No more on Song, I think we’ll pull off a 2-1 or better tonight and that Diaby will give us that much needed bite in midfield we’ve lacked, but he must play the flair players in Vela and Theo, but will he?

Have a great day Grovers, and remember to vote for your Le Champ! —->

    nice Franchise….and to think I was gonna type consecutive…………….Silver baby………now let’s do those turks in……… (no pun) ;)

    Good going Franchise! tough one Iceman.

  6. iceman Says:

    Juhu?

  7. spurdozer Says:

    Shite

  8. Franchise Says:

    Geoff I agree 100% with u about Song. The guy looks too lethargic to play any position not even in goal. The guy was 80% responsible for the first goal (denilson 20%). He saw pinnear or whatever he’s called run into the gap he created and he couldn’t even be asked to close him down. How about the chance that ‘Yuck’ had in the second half. The guy isn’t good enough period

  9. Geoff Says:

    Franchise, have you watched the reserves? Coquelin looks impressive and better.

  10. Franchise Says:

    iceman its just an expression my german missus says all the time

  11. iceman Says:

    Next time Geoff………..I’m gonna stick my neck out and say 3-1…………

  12. iceman Says:

    Oh k….coz it means UP in a certain language…………

  13. Geoff Says:

    Good call Iceman, the was my second score and 4-1 my third!

  14. Franchise Says:

    Coquelin is the man Geoff. I saw his first game I think it was during the emirates cup. The guy is a legend to be. He’s energy level is Flamini like. I think he could be our Anderson. His first goal for the reserves I cant remember what team it is was amazing

  15. Pedro Says:

    Morning everyone!

    Great post Geoff… Aragones isn’t a racist… he’s just old! haha!

    Fener have been crap thus far… but that means nothing! They have Guiza who looked quite tasty this summer and they have Carlos. I reckon we’ll do them though!

    Talk shite reckon Song instead of JD… that will be a real shame…

    Anyone who wants 1 ticket to Spurs… e-mail me! It’s £66.

  16. iceman Says:

    So is it Alumina for skipper then?

  17. Pedro Says:

    No… Geoff’s ass is a kipper Iceman, you misread.

  18. Franchise Says:

    If we’ve got a no nonsense taking back 4. Then we could play ne1 in midfield. Like u Geoff I’m also a firm believer that the ’sittin in fron tof the back 4′ is overrated. The barca team that won the double had one of the tiniest midfield in Europe in 2005 but they could run for 180 mins and boy could they pass.

  19. Franchise Says:

    Last post 9.25am I meant if we’ve got………

  20. kelsey Says:

    Geoff just for today anyone who has a bad game is a headless turkey :)

    Just a quick word about racism in spainish football.You are absolutely right about the comments above yet when la liga matches are played with black players one rarely hears abuse.Hamilton got it in Barcelona,I think it is more of an anti english thing,which is strange as spain relies very heavily on the £sterling. The moroccans are treated like scum,over here and there are comparitively few black people living here.

  21. iceman Says:

    Cheers Pedro…..missed that one………can i blame the Tuesday blues?

  22. Franchise Says:

    I think its time Wenger gives Ade a rest. It would probably give him the kick he needs. It might help if we can get a more balanced midfield.

  23. spurdozer Says:

    Almunia is our leader.

  24. Wrighty7 Says:

    24th!

  25. harry_gooner Says:

    Pedro..where can i watch the game LIVE….tried sopcast …TVU…but did’nt work…what channel do i look for

  26. Geoff Says:

    Wrighty! welcome to early morning blogging.

  27. Geoff Says:

    Back in a while all!

  28. choy Says:

    morning all…

    here harry

  29. Wrighty7 Says:

    Good post,

    I think it’s time for Ade to get splinters in his arse. BENCH HIM. He seems so disinterested this season, not even half the player of last season.

    I don’t think his technique is the best but he always worked hard for the team, he isn’t even doing that now!

    You know why? Because he’s got his pay-rise and he feels he has made it. What he must remember is the likes of Henry did it year-in and year-out, not just for one season.

    We should never have given him that pay-rise. Not after one good season. Arsenal should have waited another year, made him earn it. If he didn’t like it, fuck him, sell him.

    I’m afraid we’ve got a big time charlie on our hands and we will never get offered the reported sum of £25m again for him.

  30. Wrighty7 Says:

    Morning Geoff!

  31. Adebayor...papa Says:

    too bad

    i wanted to be in top 10

  32. Adebayor...papa Says:

    Wrighty

    ur right son..

    ade has not been good lately

    he needs time with togolese lassies

  33. Pedro Says:

    Justin.tv is always pretty good Harry! Get on their earlier and search for a stream and you wont be disappointed!

  34. Mandanda Says:

    I’ve been bigging up Coquelin for some time now but I wouldn’t throw him into the first team. I totally disagree with ur assessment of Song, otherwise a nice article. You seem to have an ethan-like view of Ade there mate! If we play one man upfront then Ade would be ideal in that formation and I think Theo would play right mid and should expect to see midfield three of Song-Denilson-Fab, Eboue playing right back is a ‘no-brainer’ AW hasn’t got a choice.

  35. Dr Whiff Says:

    Great post Geoff…

    I agree with the Song thing, he is shit…he was really good at Charlton, but Cygan could be good at Charlton becuase they’re shit..

    I hope we stuff the Turks tonight, i think we will…Give Nikki a go and play Vela but God please NO EBOUE at right mid, he has to play Theo…Theo will walk all over the old, withered Roberto Carlos.

    Apparently Fener have lost 4 of there first 6 games so we should smash them but they won every single home game in the Champions League last season

    (apologies for qouting Arsenal.com about 4 times)

  36. Pedro Says:

    Wrighty, Fergie is benching Ronaldo for the same reason!

    He didn’t even celebrate his goal the other day!

  37. choy Says:

    we all know ade will start!

  38. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Pedro

    I’d been rattling away on the other blog i missed the post. Anyway, I voted for spurs for the laughs. In fact, if Song plays ahead of JD20, I might just take a rain check on Arsenal, & start following spurs demise.

  39. Wrighty7 Says:

    Thats because Fergie has got bollox Pedro!

  40. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Does it cost to watch arsenalvlog &/or justin.tv or is it gratus

  41. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    Back four will Eboue Silvester Song and Clichy tonight according to Arseblog who are quoting Wenger.

  42. Pedro Says:

    Sorry Gnarley, Geoff published this morning!

  43. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    What the %$&@ has JD20 got to do to get a game ;) He’s the only defender not to let in a goal.

  44. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Ok, I’m off to post on Arsenal.com about JD20, will be back soon.

  45. Wrighty7 Says:

    Pedro told me JD is getting his SL2000 waxed tonight so he won’t able to make it. Arsene Wenger understands.

  46. Pedro Says:

    It was a tasty looking car… much nicer than his Corsa!

  47. Wrighty7 Says:

    Pedro, would you take it off his hands? Of CORSA you would! Sorry that was lame, I’ll get me coat……………

  48. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    I’ve killed for less, Wrighty!

  49. Wrighty7 Says:

    I think i’ve killed the comments!

  50. Wrighty7 Says:

    Sorry QoS! ;)

  51. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    Maybe JD is gonna get a run out in Midfield after all Mr Wenger seems to enjoy moving players around the pitch. The rumours that Ade will go in goal is false though. Clearly he’d still be caught offside every five minutes.

  52. Pedro Says:

    Poor joke Wrighty, but I admire you for putting it out there! haha!

    So what do you reckon? A win, lose or a draw?

    I think it’ll be a spanking… I hope anyway!

  53. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Hope you don’t mind Pedro/Geoff, I expressed my opinion on arsenal.com & signed my address as Le Grove. Do you think that will carry any weight with Arsene :?:

  54. Wrighty7 Says:

    Totally agree QoS, although I’ve heard that Gael Clichy will start at LEFT-BACK!!! Someone in their right position!

  55. Evo in Oz Says:

    gday all.

    yep definitely a win against the turks, no less. i hope we play 2 strikers from the start and it would be better if RVP wasnt a starter as the temptation for him to stick out on the wing and play the 4-5-1 would too much.

  56. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    A lot of Grovers want Ade to be left back……in the sheds :)

  57. Wrighty7 Says:

    I think we can win. The key is to silence THAT crowd.

    The crowd will seperate the boys from the men, or in Arsenal’s case, the boys from the boys!

  58. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    evo do you have a stream for the game?

  59. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    I also check out footycast.com GG they usually have streams.

  60. ikon Says:

    my lineup

    Eboue-Sylvest-Song-Clichy
    (sub)Theo/Diaby-Cesc-Ramsey(sub if we are winning by 70th minute)/Denilson-Nasri
    RVP-Ade/Vela(sub)

    I think Diaby can prove to be equally good on the right flank with Eboue as his defensive backup, playing him in the middle opens up a lot of space for our defenders to close in.

  61. Wrighty7 Says:

    GG9,

    I used to stick up for Ade until my fingertips and vocal cords were sore but after his displays this season and his manner in the summer I cant stand him!

    In the sheds??? How about in a shed inside a shed inside another shed then shipped to Barcelona and begging them for 25p! ;)

  62. Franchise Says:

    Mandanda…. Song has been at Arsenal for 4 years. He’s not been playing a lot fair enough but he’s been training with the first team for 4 years and in two prmiership games he’s been at fault for two goals. He being in the first team is still as risky as playing ramsey or coquelin who have only been at the club for about 3 months and possibly have more to offer.

  63. ikon Says:

    I want Ade to rot in the stands after we get Dudu back and buy ourselves a decent target man who knows when to shut up.

  64. ikon Says:

    Ramsey and Song comparisio makes me laugh. Song is best at CB position and I like him in that position, better than Gallas at least.

  65. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Cheers QoS

    I hope they work down here, I’ll be scratching about in the early hours on my PC trying to get vision :shock:

  68. Adebayor...papa Says:

    Ade will still play

    and i can bet he will get 25+ this season too

  69. choy Says:

    gg9… try that vlogspot and justin.tv

    and yes it is free!

  70. Adebayor...papa Says:

    Song is slow.

    He is above average at tackles

    poor at passing and runs like an elephant

  73. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Good one evo

  74. Evo in Oz Says:

    i just want to score goals

  75. Geoff Says:

    Mandanda, I think you misunderstood, I said I think Song is shit, he’s slow, looks like he’s on drugs, gives the ball away and was responsible for us letting in the last two goals against Sunderland and jointly with Denilson against Everton.

    He gets the ball and passes the minute he gets it and he does that to either a player with 3 on his back, one of the opposition players or into touch.

    He scored one goal in four years and then didn’t realise he’d scored.

    Ramsey on the other hand scored a screamer last week against a great England side that boasted 8 premier league players and made 3 others in two games, not to mention bossing the game twice.

    Ramsey has also had several assists for us this season with slide rule passes.

    If Song then goes into the centre back position, he’s too short and he isn’t a patch on Djourou.

    What the fuck has Song done, please make a list, try and make me see what you do!

  76. Geoff Says:

    Sorry Dr Whiff, glad you like it!

  77. Adebayor...papa Says:

    gnarley

    myp2p.eu is the best

    justin tv tends to get slow on popular games esp champions league games.

    You can try hand with sopcast links, they generally work better

  78. goonermichael Says:

    Apparently Almunia will play in goal

  79. Evo in Oz Says:

    yeah my p2p has all the streams you could ever want. you can pick and choose the fastest.

    only trouble sometimes is you run into feeds that are in non-english languages for the commentators

  80. charybdis1966 Says:

    Whenever somewone writes about Bobby I get a little sad.

    I know I’m repeating myself but the memory of him being subbed when Mad Jens had another one of his moments at the CL final pisses mw off.

    All he ever wanted was a 2 year deal, not a one year, and the stubborn Wenger couldn’t give him that.

    Thank you Bobby – I wish we’d kept you. :(

  81. Adebayor...papa Says:

    yeah evo

    but mostly those are the ones with best pic quality minus the chinese commentary

  82. Arsenal Tom Says:

    clichy or cesc should be captain.

    5 in midfield would ok if it was…

    vela, nasri, fab, diaby, theo. playing like the team that got us to CL final, nasri and theo providing width and pace, nasri and cesc pulling the strings and diaby breaking up everything… including players

  83. Franchise Says:

    Arsenal Tom Ive got a name suggestion. Change ur name to ATOM ANT. that wld be cool.

  84. Evo in Oz Says:

    yeah it might take a few mins to hack into the best stream, but you can always usually find the sky or itv versions, just need to persist

  85. chris GOONA Says:

    Obviously u dont pay much attention to our manager, as he already said that our backlline will be the same as what ended the match against Everton.

    Eboue Song Silvestre Clichy

    I dont understand where the Song bashing has come from??! hes a handy player that can play in midfield or defence and do a good job, RB isnt his position and we found that out on the weekend.. is it his fault he was played there?

    In midfield Diaby wont start, hes just come back, what i dont want to see is RvP on the left it just dont work! play him just in front of the midfield and Cesc where he belongs in his natural role next to Denilson. Walcott on the right and Nasri/Vela on the left. We need to start playing players where they are most effective and stop trying new positions.. time to push on and find some form.

  86. Franchise Says:

    ATOM that is a mouth watering five man midfield they wld pass ne team to oblivion

  87. vandejie Says:

    So…look like the line up for tonight will be the same as in the 2nd half against everton huh.

  88. Franchise Says:

    not just pass they’ll score a few too

  89. Arsenal Tom Says:

    franchise… not very likely tho! i think it would work tho… pace on either flanks cesc and nasri are so clever and skillfull they’ll knock the ball around anyone and diaby in there for a bit of strength and size…cheers for the name recomndation!! busy day huh? lol

  90. vandejie Says:

    i’m not a big fan of silvestre but i think he’s a defender type which arsenal needs at this time….he can smell danger.

  91. avenell Says:

    Morning everygrover.

    I would like to see Nasri, have a start in the role which Hleb played last year, with his shooting ability he would bang in 20 goals a season from there.
    Also he would hold up the ball like Hleb and Bergkamp used to do, which is something RVP doesn’t do well enough.

  92. Evo in Oz Says:

    i wouldnt call it Song bashing, he just needs to be played in one spot, not all over the pitch. he is CB IMHO

  93. Arsenal Tom Says:

    i dont like song at CB, i think he’s to short djourou and silvestre all day

  94. Pedro Says:

    Chris, I guess the thinking is that right back isn’t the toughest position to play… and Song was woeful. If you can defend, surely playing right back shouldn’t be a problem? Flamini wasn’t a left back but he did an amazing job there a few years ago.

    How do you justify saying song is a handy player? He has never demonstrated ability over 10 games? ACN is one thing, doing it week in week out in the Prem is another.

  95. Franchise Says:

    avenell it doen’t hurt playing him in LM though. It would be a waste of VP talent if u choose to play Nas as a second striker. Having proven scoring threats all across the front line is something we’ve lacked since the days of the invincibles with pires, berg, henry and ljunberg. We could possibly have something close enough with nasri, VP, Ade(if he can replicate last years form) and Theo. Not to mention the return of the crocks in December Eduardo and Rosicky. the competition for places would be intense

  96. Evo in Oz Says:

    im happy to stick with the 2nd half Everton team as long as its 4-4-2 and RVP stays up the pitch near the box if thats the way it goes.

  97. Franchise Says:

    In the past I’ve chosen not to draw a quick conclusion on Song cos he never use to get enough playing time but from what I’ve seen in the last few games, he isn’t even ordinary. He is very average adding nothing I mean nothing to the side. If Senderos were around I would say he is our 5th choice CB behind Gallas, Toure, Djourou and Silvestre. The reason he looks a bit ok at CB is cos that is the position on a football pitch that requires the least mobility. having said that a quality CF would eat Song alive he’s just tooooooo lethargic

  98. choy Says:

    beach bum is captain tonight!

  99. Geoff Says:

    Chris go back to my 10.29 comment, if you can answer it I’ll be delighted, if you can’t you’ll understand the Song bashing, and when you watch the reserves you’ll wonder what they must think when they see Song in the starting line up.

  100. Geoff Says:

    Well said Pedro and Franchise, he’s as handy as a window cleaner with no windows.

  101. Franchise Says:

    ATOM against the Chelsea and Mancs of this world i can see Arsene play a five man midfield…. Even last season when we were more of a balanced side, we often played 4-5-1 against those sides

  102. choy Says:

    i hate 4-5-1 .. too much respect for the opponents for my liking!

  103. Adebayor...papa Says:

    i think it will be a 4-5-1 with RVP out wide

    :(

    its sad i know

    but i think my shaman just gave me the Wenger mind scan info

  104. Mandanda Says:

    Hi Geoff, Franchise and all the anti-Song commentators I don’t think Song is great as a DM but better as a CB, at best he is the poor man’s Makelele but he is 20 and may yet improve. I think its too early to start slagging him off. He is ceratainly the most physically imposing midfielder we have. With him in the side we stood up against those bullies of the north in Bolton and Blackburn and I for one thought a 1-1 draw in eastern Europe was a good result!
    I think it was unfair playing him at right back as he lacks the acceleration or pace needed to play in that position but that is not his fault blame AW for that. I think he played quite well in CB.
    The thing about blaming players for goals is that you can be entangled in a never ending cycle of blame. For example, you could say that if another player had kept possession better before Song he wouldn’t have had to be dealing with the situation he found himself in those instances you cited him at fault for the goals conceded. I would blame the whole team. Read some time ago that JD’s best position is playing DM in midfield three, I would like to see AW him try in that position.
    I think Ramsey is a great potential but at the moment I only see him deputising for Fab not playing alongside him or perhaps coming on with the game won and with 15/10 mins to go. I wld be very uncomfortable with starting Ramsey or Wilshere as I see them as being too young, we have the one of the youngest starting 11 already, they already have the technique required to play at this level but lack the physical attributes and experience required. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing Ramsey as part of a midfield three with FAb and Song.
    Lets not forget that since AW started this youth experiment we have not won any trophies so how does start young Ramsey/Wilshere
    solve this problem?

  105. Franchise Says:

    I hope we dont play it against against Fener tonight i.e. 451

  106. Pedro Says:

    Thaksin got 2 years!

  107. Pierre Says:

    I watched Arsenal v Everton on this on Saturday, English commentary, high deff. and free!

    http://www.iraqgoals.com/en/

  108. Pierre Says:

    The champs league match is also on there!

  109. Franchise Says:

    Mandanda…. He’s only 20?????? That is not the point. If you’ve got a team which has been referred to a few times as an incubator with a lot of youngsters coming through…. you cannot afford to wait for Song to develop into world class. Already knocking on the door is a 17yr old coquelin. on first impression u can see what he is all about. Also u’ve got Ramsey who is 17…. I might be wrong but those two would not require 4 years to play Arsene football. The only reason Wenger would feature them sparingly is to ‘protect’ them from media hype if their performances are excellent

  110. Geoff Says:

    All interesting point Mandanda but this one you make…

    ‘For example, you could say that if another player had kept possession better before Song he wouldn’t have had to be dealing with the situation he found himself in’

    He WAS the player that had the ball before! he received the ball in defence and passed it badly into touch, they got a throw in and from that he failed to tackle the Sunderland player and the player scored.

    Using Ramsey on his own without Cesc would not be the same as using them together.

    Song may be strong but so am I, and that’s not a good enough reason to be in this team, if it was, I should be going to Turkey tonight because I’m faster than him and a lot stronger.

  111. Franchise Says:

    With regards to being a better CB. you could read my comment at 11.09am. He would be at best fifth choice CB. Do u think chelsea would have him in their current squad? not even for the carling cup

  112. Adebayor...papa Says:

    ———–Ade—————-

    He’s not in Djourou’s league and Djourou can’t get in!

  114. Adebayor...papa Says:

    geoff

    are bears stronger than elephants?

  115. Geoff Says:

    Ade’s Papa, this one is!

  116. Adebayor...papa Says:

    elephants can run at 21-25 mph

    Grizzly bears can run at over 30 mph

    humans have an average 27-30 mph

    so there you go !!

    hence proved

  117. Mandanda Says:

    Perhaps, if you had nappy hair Geoff you might indeed be on that plane to Turkey lol. Ok we agree to disagree

    Franchise are u seriously saying AW picks a team with the media in mind and not to win a match? That would be a bizarre state of affairs my friend!

    Anywayz, I would be happy with a draw tonite and a solid performance to go with it. My team;

    Laters grovers

  118. Franchise Says:

    And regards ur comment Mandanda that we stood up to the bullies in the north because of him in the side…. We played a blackburn side that is probably the worst organised n the day Ive seen in a long time, Bolton were not that clever too. We beat better sides up north last season with Song not even getting the oppurtunity to warm up.

  119. Mandanda Says:

    Franchise I would take Flamini (of last season) over Song – most fans would – but the problem is we let him go and did not sign anyone. We’ve blamed AW for that, but Song is what we have and he is not as bad as you guys make him out to be.

  120. Adebayor...papa Says:

    mandanda

    a mid field with song and denilson is sureshot way to ensure a hard fought last gasp draw

    i would not bench nasri.

    start with nasri and if two goals are scored. get defensive and maybe bring in Song/DJ in midfield

  121. Adebayor...papa Says:

    mandanda

    song is not bad

    but right now, i do not see him at the level to battle Semih in midfield

  122. Mandanda Says:

    ooops i forgot Nasri, I thought he was injured. is he? well spotted Ade’s papa

  123. Franchise Says:

    All managers do it. Taking theo to the world cup as a 17yr old that had not even featured for arsenal got him slaughtered by the press and that in turn severly affected his progress, several other young players coming through teams have been used with with discretion cos if u over expose them to the harsh world of the media it might affect them negatively. Mostly two things can happen here actually there

    1. The mature enought at a young age and remin level headed
    2. they have bad performances, get slughtered by the press and loose confidence
    3. they have very good performances, get pompous (like Ade) and think they deserve ballon d’ or and pay rises. look at where pennant and bentley are now?????

  124. Geoff Says:

    Ok Mandanda we’ll agree to disagree but have a look at our reserves on the Arsenal channel next chance and then tell me why he warrants his place. Just have a look that’s all.

  125. Franchise Says:

    Mandanda that was a reply to ur comment at 11.32am

  126. avenell Says:

    Mandana …This isn’t the best time to defend Song, he isn’t helping himself at the moment.

    Franchise.. Man U wouldn’t have Silvestre in there squad (fact) but we are saying he is our best CB now.

  127. Arsenal Tom Says:

    franchise is right… we beat bolton last year under much much harder circumstances… 2-0 down and a man down in the pissing rain!!!

    and we would have beat blackburn if it wasnt for jens howler, i could have done a better job at RB than song on saturday

  128. avenell Says:

    Mandanda, sorry missed out your “d” ..

  129. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    you cant defend song or denilson they are the weak links in that team i liken them to cygan and senderos that says it all….B.B.K

  130. Franchise Says:

    Avenell if Silvestre werent injured last season he wld have been third choice CB at Mancs. The reason fergie let him go was cos he wanted to feature more and whilst he was injured he dropped down the order. Who do u think is Mancs 3rd choice CB? Johnny Evans…. Hello…. O’shea plays there sometimes. Silvestre hasn’t turn shit all of a sudden.

  131. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    clichy for the winner tonight

  132. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    carlos esq strike frm 25 yards i can see it now the new r.carlos

  133. Mandanda Says:

    Franchise, in essence we both agree (albeit for differing reasons) that these young super talented players are not ready to be starters then. In that case we are left with Song, Diaby et al right?

    Geoff, I see you point and like I said I am a huge supporter of Coquelin and think he should get a look in next season at least. However, I remain unconvinced by Randall. The thing is reserve team football seen to be lower than Chanpionship football which is why we loaned Barazite to Derby, and Bedtner to Birm before him, to Championship teams in order to prepare them to be more competitive in the first team squad. Bednter is still not a starter for us, although I feel he should start more games I’m sure skandi would concur!

    Avenell, to the contrary I think this is the best time to defend him I would be an impressionable fan otherwise hehe.

  134. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    the battle of the left backs tonight carlos vs clichy who will win….

  135. kunle4fabregas Says:

    David Becham, the pride of London!

  136. avenell Says:

    When we played Everton on saturday we had three or four players out from our so called best eleven.

    The other nite on ATV it showed the 7-0 drubbing of Everton it was later on in the season, but we had about the same amount of players out but we walked it..

    Is it the reserves coming in are not as good quality?

    Or Is it the first team players are not as good and and cannot cope with a few changes?

    It’s better when we change all 11 players like in the cc, we look a better team than if we change 2 or 3..

    11/05/05 v Everton.
    Lehmann, Lauren, Campbell, Senderos, Cole, Pires (Fabregas 64), Vieira (Flamini 45), Edu, Reyes, Bergkamp, Van Persie (Henry 45). Subs Not Used: Almunia, Toure.

  137. kunle4fabregas Says:

    Sorry, I meant to say David Becham, the pride of English Football.

  138. Pedro Says:

    Kunle, I think you misspelt Theo Walcott…

  139. Franchise Says:

    Mandanda my critic of Song is clear and crystal. The guy offers nothing not even power (he’s so mentioned only attribute) to this side.

    Eboue gets slagged off but he is a good second choice RB. he would get into most sides in the premiership as a first choice RB.

    Ade gets slagged too but we all know that he gives us an outlet, he’s probably suffering cos he is putting a lot of pressure to perform as well as last season hence his current form but also cos cesc cannot create as much for him as a result of his creativity being reduced by accomodating the likes of song and denilson in the side.

    Gallas gets slagged but he pops up to score some crucial goals

    Denilson gets slagged too but he’s got a few goals and assists to match

    What has Song done in 5 or 6 appearances this season….

    Well he has caused us two goals against Sunderland and Everton

  140. Geoff Says:

    Kunle you got Beckham wrong too, not a criticism just a heads up and Franchise I make you right again!

  141. Franchise Says:

    Might I add. Ade’s shenanigans over the summer and he’s newly developed lazyness doesnt help but hey he’s got 6 goals and about 4 assists this season

  142. kunle4fabregas Says:

    YES, OUR GREAT THEO WALCOTT

  143. Franchise Says:

    i’ll catch u guys in a minute hopefullly by then Mandanda would be gone :lol: I feel so inclined to reply to ur comments Mr Mandanada. I cant really believe that ne1 would still be on Song’s side. By the way Mandanada I heard that Man City’s bidding for you in January????

  144. Pedro Says:

    That’s better Kunle… oh and you can spell that Jack Wilshere as well!

  145. Mandanda Says:

    Franchise, Song has played DM, CB and wrongly at right back (blame AW!). We beat Everton, Bolton, Blackburn and drew in Europe. WE have NOT LOST in any of the matches he started.
    Some of the slagging off the mentioned players are OTT sometimes.

  146. Evo in Oz Says:

    nasri is in the squad

  147. Adebayor...papa Says:

    let’s do a man to man comparison for 05 team and 08 team

    Lehmann- Almunia – lehmann wins 8-6

    Lauren – Eboue – Eboue wins 8-7

    Campbell- Silvestre – Campbell wins 8-7

    Senderos – Song – Senderos wins 7-5

    Cashley – Clichy – Clichy wins 9-8

    Pires – Nasri – Pires wins 8-7

    Edu – Denilson – Edu wins 7-6

    Vieira – Fabregas – Fabregas wins 9-8

    Reyes – Walcott – its a close tie, 8-8

    Bergkamp – Ade – Bergkamp wins hands down – 10-7

    Persie – Persie – old persie wins 8-7

    so this team is not up at the same level as 05 team.

  148. kunle4fabregas Says:

    Like them or hate them, Pedro and Geof, u guys always make my day! I am laughing my ass out here!

  149. Mandanda Says:

    u r bit late Franchise, I signed last night 150k/wk

  150. Evo in Oz Says:

    papa – strange comparison – Song and Senderos were mere babies in 05. Edu was rubbish. Almunia is hitting his straps every game, although i loved the man german bastard. Campbell was on the way out, agreed on the rest

  151. Adebayor...papa Says:

    08 team score – 79

    05 team score – 87

    quite a difference

    almost a player capability extra.

    and it shows

    the way we play it looks we are a man short.

  152. avenell Says:

    Papa you have marked Vieira 8 and Eboue 8 … Are you serious? ;)

  153. kunle4fabregas Says:

    Talking about Newcastle/City match yesterday. I think that referee
    should be banned for life. I also will not want him anywhere near Arsenal matches! What do you think Pedro/Geof

  154. Adebayor...papa Says:

    evo

    senderos was not as awful as song today even in 2005.

    and for Edu, i would still have him in our side ahead of Denilson

  155. patthegooner Says:

    My Line up for tonight, Not what I would pick but I am trying to predict Wengers next moment of madness when it comes to formation and team selection,

    GK: Wilshire
    LB: Theo
    CB: RVP
    CB: Ade
    RB: Fabregas
    LM: Song
    RM: Clichy
    CM: Fabianski
    CM: Gibbs
    FW: Almunia
    FW: Silvestre

    In all seriousness I hope he doesn’t fuck around tonight, on paper we are a class above but this is a tricky venue, and cant risk experiments. As for SONG completely agree, In fact I hope he is not even in Fucking Turkey. I know it is not his fault that he gets picked, but how can tell Wenger we are not amused by this clown who contributes absolutely zip to a performance. He is the fat kid that gets picked last in the playground to make up the numbers. I would go with

    Almunia

    Eboue, Djourou, Silvestre, Clichy (NO FUCKING SONG)
    Theo, Cesc, Diaby, Nasri/Vela
    RVP Bendtner

    But my money is on Wenger picking

    Almunia

    Eboue, LFKPAS, Silvestre, Clichy
    Theo, Cesc, Denilson, Diaby
    RVP, Ade

  156. avenell Says:

    This team also got more points in the Premiership last year than in 05…
    But I don’t feel as confident about it.

  157. finestcuts Says:

    Tonight will be a tough test, if we can keep a clean sheet that will be very good, but Fenerbache will throw everything they’ve got at us, so 2-1 would do nicely.
    Good news that Djourou is back, I hope Djourou’s previous very good Champions League performances will merit him a place in the middle alongside Silvestre.

    Eboue, Djourou, Silvestre, Clichy

    That is a good back 4, all are capable players, although like most, I suspect Song will be given a chance.

    Denilson will probably start and I think he’s a good player, he’s still got plenty of development ahead of him, but that shouldn’t overshadow that as things are, he is a good central midfielder.

    It seems that Nasri is fit to play, if he is not available we have a player who spent all last season on left wing, Carlos Vela, I am sure he is capable of performing well for us judging by what I’ve seen of him in an Arsenal shirt.

    Theo on the right and Vela on the left are appealing choices, both players who are fast, very good technically and can score goals.

    Hopefully no more experiments at right back, Eboue knows how to play there, lets stick with what we know and do experiments in reserve games, and only if a player proves to be outstanding at reserve level in the position cover is needed for should they be named in the starting lineup.

    Has Song ever played at right back for the reserves? I think he should before he gets thrown into a Premier League game, it’s not fair on him or the team.

    Score Prediction: 2-1 Arsenal

  158. Evo in Oz Says:

    id take Denilson. more promise. Edu was never going to cut it. he played 1 good game and he took the penalty against everton. that was it

  159. Chipo Says:

    IMO, this will be tonight’s team-

    ———–ALMUNIA
    –EBOUE SONG SILVESTRE CLICHY
    WALCOTT DIABY DENILSON CESC RVP
    ———–ADEBAYOR

    I think if nasri is fit then he will play instead of Theo, but i do still expect a win tonight.

    Also my vote for LE CHAMP has to go to CLICHY, he is just the most consistently excellent left back i have ever seen. I also think he would make a great captain.

    Oh, and he shouldve been number 3 tra lalala

  160. Paulinho Says:

    Yeah, Ade is a great outlet….a great outlet to get offside in double quick time.

  161. avenell Says:

    What stood out watching the 05 team was how many left footed players we had Cole, RVP, Edu and Reyes we seem to attract the left footed players through our history..

  162. Evo in Oz Says:

    gotta hit the fart sack all. back in 7 hours, see you all then

    up the arse!

  163. Adebayor...papa Says:

    something’s wrong

  164. Geoff Says:

    Kunle it was a shocking ref, Finest, more than that, it’s not fair on the fans.

  165. Pierre Says:

    wasn’t it the same ref who gave manure a pen against bolton when ronaldo dived? he’s shit, should be suspended.

  166. avenell Says:

    Why would Arsenal want a player who is 27, has a totally fucked knee and Fenebache “threw out” ?

    Juventus do… Keep your eye on him we could have had him on a free..

  167. raif Says:

    Hughsie.

    what i was chating about is Wenger’s idea was to use DuDu as our secret weapon last season basicly bring him in the latar part of the season witch is what he did till he got Injuerd. he was the most in form striker till that takle put a stop to that.

    my point was Wenger will do the same with Vela. he will be Unleashed later on in the season.
    But only time will tell.

    any ways just wanted to read the post before i go to the Hospital, ill chat to u all tonight when Game time starts

  168. Big Raddy Says:

    Back in the saddle after a long and extremely depressing trip to London.

    How are all you Le Grovers? – well, I trust.

    I have an apology to make. I have consistently supported the talents of Alexandre Song. I was wrong – totally wrong. His performances this season have shown us that he is not good enough for The Arsenal. Maybe

    In his defence, he was played out of position on Saturday, but to track your man is basic defending, and he is allegedly a quality International. Song is too slow, lacks intelligence in his positional play, is lacking in ball-skills, poor in the air, and worst of all …. is Pig Ugly.

  169. kelsey Says:

    One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in
    despair, he has his first meeting with the devil.

    Satan: “Why so glum?”

    Guy: “Why do you think? I’m in hell!”

    Satan: “Hell’s not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You
    a drinking man?”

    Guy: “Sure, I love to drink.”

    Satan: “Well, you’re gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays, all we do is
    drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, Tab, and Fresca. We
    drink ’til we throw up, and then we drink some more! And you don’t have
    to worry about getting a hangover, because you’re dead anyway.”

    Guy: “Gee that sounds great!”

    Satan: “You a smoker?”

    Guy: “You better believe it”

    Satan: “All right! You’re gonna love Tuesdays We get the finest cigars
    from all over the world, and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer – no
    biggie, you’re already dead, remember?”

    Guy: “Wow that’s awesome!”

    Satan: “I bet you like to gamble.”

    Guy: “Why, yes, as a matter of fact I do.”

    Satan: “Good, ’cause Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps,
    blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, it
    doesn’t matter, you’re dead anyhow.”

    Guy: “Cool!”

    Satan: “What about drugs?”

    Guy: “Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don’t mean…?”

    Satan: “That’s right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big
    bowl of crack or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can
    do all the drugs you want. You’re dead so who cares.”

    Guy: “Wow! I never realized Hell was such a cool place!”

    Satan: “You gay?”

    Guy: “No…”

    Satan: “Oooo, Fridays are gonna be tough…”

  170. kelsey Says:

    Hi Raddy,
    how did your interview go down at white hart lane :) We all know ramos is a gooner :)

  171. kunle4fabregas Says:

    And shinawatra (former owner of mancity) has been sentenced to jail

  172. marylandgunner Says:

    I just wanted to highlight the fact that no team, other than Southampton has clawed their way out of the relegation zone when they were this far behind (Spurs). I can’t believe that I am going to say this, but there is a very strong possibility that the Spuds are going down this season.

    Man City are not going to come even close to cracking the Top 4, and we have a shot at winning it all . . . unless Song ruins the day.

    Not a bad start to a Tuesday.

  173. charybdis1966 Says:

    I think the concensus on the desired formation tonight (Almunia. Eboue, Silvestre, Djorou, Clichy, Theo, Cesc, Diaby, Nasri, Bedntner RVP) compared to what Wenger will pick(Song at CB, Eboue at RW, Adebarndoor for Bendtner ) is pretty much there.
    I noticed Wrighty getting loads of grief on his blog so I agree with Pedro to spam out dumb comments as I will for both my youtube videos. I got some Port Vale fan trying to take the piss out of my pre match videos on youtube. He’s tried to post his dumb comment 4 times but they didn’t appear because they need my approval – which he ‘aint getting !
    BTW I’d be obliged if some of you guys could leave a few comments – search youtube under my log on name(charybdis1966), if you’d be so kind. :)

  174. G4ever Says:

    “We can not lose any more defenders that is for sure,” said. Wenger. “But we will start with the team that finished the game against Everton.”

    So we know the back five is
    almunia
    eboue (thank god), song, silvestre, clichy

    I get the sense he will employ a 5 man midfield with Ade up top.

    I am not sure theo will be involved but if Nasri is injured, then he may be forced to play yet again. He wont push denilson out of CM since he has done a decent job thus far.
    so my bet is

    nasri diaby, denilson fabregas, RVP
    Ade

  175. Franchise Says:

    Toure’s out until November. Djourou should get more games hopefully

  176. goonermichael Says:

    Djourou won’t play. He’s going to stick with song. Fuck knows why.

  177. Big Raddy Says:

    Hi Kelsey.

    WHL is what it always has been – full of comedians. The Stoke game, particularly the last 20 minutes was some of the best entertainment I have seen in years.

    How Ramos keeps a straight face whilst watching his ‘team’ is beyond me. I guess he was pissing himself inside,

    £6 m a year, the highest paid mananger in the World (allegedly). The man is a genius.

  178. charybdis1966 Says:

    PS – forgot – Wenger would pllay Denilson instead of Diaby, as goonermichael would says, f**k knows why.

  179. avenell Says:

    Chary, I don’t have an you tube account could you let me have a name of one of your clips or link one on here for me?

  180. Franchise Says:

    We playing united in a few weeks…. 3 points there or the race is as good as over. Lets see if Wenger sticks with he’s beloved children denilson and song?????

  181. skandibird Says:

    Afternoon All, I am going to watch the game LIVE on ITV4, no need to switch on the old lap for this one, never really get a good picture on mine. The sun is shining, colleagues are being nice to me (what’s going on there I wonder), I feel really positive and have a smile on my face – good omen me thinks. Let’s hope Arsene picks a solid team – Almunia, Eboue, Djouru, Silvestre, Clichy, Theo, Diaby, Cesc, Nasri (if fit), Bendtner, RVP, probably not…… still, I’m going to keep the faith.

  182. Tei Says:

    I’m going to turn my TV volume to full tonight, lets see how good this Turkish atmosphere really is!

  183. charybdis1966 Says:

    Sorry Avenell, at work I can’t access Youtube but if you search under “Arsenal v FC Twente” and “arsenal V brimingham” you should get either one of my videos.

    Thanks in advance Avenell and anyone else – I’ve only got 1 comment so far !

  184. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    so toures out for two weeks then prehaps he will have time to review his form and comeback in a better frame of mind

  185. Keyser Says:

    Check out the vids on Youtube with the Fenerbahce fans jumping, it looks mad.

    avenell – You don’t need an account just put his name in the search bar.

  186. Tei Says:

    “They have the most passionate fans in Europe,”

    Can’t wait to see how our players respond!

  187. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    silvest and gallas should be a solid partnership in time kolo needs a break he looks fcuk’d at the minute

  188. avenell Says:

    I’ll try and have a look in a bit Chary, I’ve gotta bomb out for a while!!

  189. kunle4fabregas Says:

    Does anyone remember or knows anything about Aragones comments concerning Thienry Henry when he (Aragones) was trying to motivate Reyes to play for spain. I am talking about the statement that made people labelled him a racist. Geoff/Pedro can you help out, please

  190. Arsenal Tom Says:

    kunle…

    aragones shouted at reyes during training ‘your better than that black shit, when u get back u tell him that’ he did it infront of the spanish media

  191. Pierre Says:

    when I was a kid you used to sometimes see white dog turds, what happened to them? I suppose it came from a dog that had eaten a bone? AT’s comment reminded me of it….

  192. andy c Says:

    Pedro, do you still have the ticket? i have mailed you, cheers

  193. Franchise Says:

    Its obvious Aragones got it wrong with Reyes. All he’s one is cos of Henry. I think it was wrong for Wenger to say he was not a racist. He might not be one but Wnger trying to exonerate him is wrong.

    Sometimes I wonder where our players get the insatiable desire to talk to the press but when ur manager always has something to say to them (press) that doesn’t directly concern him then that I’ve found my answer. One day he’s talking about how he cant save the UEFA cup the other he’s saying Aragones is not racist??????

  194. Franchise Says:

    Sorry guys I meant all he’s won

  195. Franchise Says:

    he’s also talking about how Tottenham’s situation is not Comolli’s fault…. Mr WENGER LEARN TO SAY I CANNOT COMMENT ON THAT

  196. Pedro Says:

    Sorry Andy, it was sold earlier!

  197. kelsey Says:

    Today’s lesson
    In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach,with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would livelong and healthy lives.

    Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums.And Satan said, ‘You want hot fudge with that?’ And Man said, ‘Yes!’ And Womansaid, ‘I’ll have one too with chocolate chips’. And so they gained 10 pounds.

    And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that manfound so fair.

    And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane andcombined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

    So God said, ‘Try my fresh green salad’. And Satan presented Blue Cheesedressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened theirbelts following the repast.

    God then said ‘I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which tocook them’.

    And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobsterchunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man’scholesterol went through the roof.

    Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming withpotassium and good nutrition.

    Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chipsand deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Manput on more pounds.
    God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose thoseextra pounds.

    And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not haveto toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before theflickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

    Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and stillsatisfy his appetite.

    And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said’You want fries with that?’ and Man replied, ‘Yes, and super size ‘em’. AndSatan said, ‘It is good.’ And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

    God sighed ………. and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

    And then ………… Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.

    THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

    After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final word onnutrition and health.:

    1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
    2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
    3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
    4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacksthan us.
    5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heartattacks than us.
    6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and sufferfewer heart attacks than us

    CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what .kills you

  198. finestcuts Says:

    Any starting 11 guesses? Mine is Almunia, Eboue, Song, Silvestre, Clichy, Walcott, Denilson, Nasri, Fabregas, RVP, Adebayor

    I don’t think Wenger will chuck Diaby in from the start, unless he intends to play him for 45-60 mins.

  199. Pedro Says:

    I met this really kinky girl last night. ‘Humiliate me,’ she said … So I bought her a Tottenham shirt…

    I just went down to the newsagents and bought Tottenham Hotspur magazine. Thank goodness they had porn mags to hide it in.

    “I was playing Scrabble and had enough letters to make ‘Tottenham Hotspur Football Club’. I was gutted when I found out it was only worth two points.”

    · Is it just me or are Spurs the team to beat this season? Everyone’s at it

    When a groggy Vedran Corluka regained consciousness in the ambulance leaving the Britannia Stadium on Sunday he asked medical staff who he was. On being told he played football for Tottenham Hotspur he lapsed into a coma.

    All trains through White Hart Lane have been cancelled due to a massive points failure.

    What’s the difference between Bigfoot and the Spurs defence? Bigfoot has been spotted several times.

    fenerbache are not doing well.. we should go out all guns blazing… if we give them too little to think about they could gain a bit of momentum and hurt us..

    early goals i think are the key here.. a couple before half time and then wenger can try out his 4-5-1…

    if we don’t press them early on we are in for a long night!

  201. charybdis1966 Says:

    Choy – we’ve been crying out for an end to the soporific starts we get from our team. In the days of the Invincibles they used to come out of the blocks like a tam of Carl Lewis’s.

    Lately we get a torpor that is only shaken off when we concede.

  202. Bud Says:

    “A woman goes to the doctors…..

    “Doctor, every time i open my legs my fanny says Spurs are a top 4 team”

    The doctor replies, “I’m affraid that is not your fanny, thats your arse talking…..”

  203. kelsey Says:

    choy.charybdis,agree with both.if we go out 4-5-1 they will batter us from the start and if the one up front is TT he will be offside 90% of the time.We all appear to know how we should line up,but of course the boss will do the exact opposite,hoping for a draw by hanging on.I hope I am wrong,but I have a feeling he is just become too predictable.

  204. kelsey Says:

    Pedro you are the best joke teller on here except for ? :)

  205. Bud Says:

    I’m watching the stiffs on Arsenal TV tonight…. I got a feeling it’s going to be a better game !!!!!!!!

  206. Bud Says:

    And it might stop me kicking things in frustration……….. especially after our Togoan Offside Merchant does his party trick for the 20th time, or Wenger starts with Eboue & Song………. doh………. HE IS STARTING WITH EBOUE & SONG……… defo the kids for me then !!!!!

  207. Wrighty7 Says:

    You’ve all gotta check this out! Its brilliant!

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=U7KhfpY2VXo

  208. Trinidad_Gunner Says:

    Arsene says the team that finished the Everton game will start …… so that means JD is 5th choice CB? After Gallas, Toure, Sly, and Song.

    And he’s going to play Diaby wide left? Again? When Theo scored his goal, both him and Diaby were on the same wing. Diaby drifts too much when he’s played on one side, Clichy would have no cover if he wants to make a run

  209. Wrighty7 Says:

    Bit out of date though!

  210. choy Says:

    charyb.. the invincibles put most of the games to bed by 3:15 pm.. for a 3 pm KO….

  211. charybdis1966 Says:

    Ah, for those days again Choy…

  212. ethangunner Says:

    changing the subject ..
    why if a out of tune english git who lives in Thailand knew thaksin was guilty over 2 years ago(me) , has England only just learned of it ?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7681416.stm

    are the FA just money hungry and ready to turn a blind eye to a supposed billionare with more cash than brains ? Why does it take so long for england to come around to elementary news thats was on offer to the thailand public even prior to him purchasing man shitty ?

    so why did the FA allow thaksin to become an owner ?

  213. Geoff Says:

    Ethan, we all knew that, Labour under Tony Blair let him in, Tony Blair is a lying disgusting cunt, that’s why we invaded Iraq and why we have more wanted terrorists in our country than Afghanistan and Iran combined, that’s why Abromovich was allowed in, Tony Blair and new labour.

    His wife is just as vile, she represented a convicted rapist against the woman he raped for defamation of character or similar.

    That family are more corrupt than Shittywanker ever was.

  214. choy Says:

    all after the cash ethan… its all about the money!

  215. Paulinho Says:

    We’ve gone 4-5-1 again.

  216. choy Says:

    fuck 4-5-1 again!

    The FA have afit and proper rule for owners of league teams. If you’ve got the money you’re fit and proper.

    Geoff
    I used to be a member of labour. I totally agree the blairs (and most of the new labour party) are disgusting cunts.
    Cherie is an ugly disgusting cunt

  219. kelsey Says:

    Nail biting time,can read wenger like a book,diaby for RVP ????

  220. goonermichael Says:

    Is Nasri playing Choy?

  221. choy Says:

    yeah gm he is.. the team is my post at 6.49pm

    you can check uefa.com !

  222. treze13 Says:

    COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!!!

  223. goonermichael Says:

    Thanks Choy. It’s on the bbc website but not arsenal.com (which isn’t suprising I suppose}

    How are you Treze?

  224. treze13 Says:

    im good gm, how bout you?

  225. Mandanda Says:

    this team is certainly good enuff to win or at least get a draw

  226. kelsey Says:

    ihe team as choy posted is official according to itv4 who are showing it.

    PREDICTION not for us.berbatov will be the biggest waste of money the mancs have ever spent and wont last more than a season and will go abroad(most probably get a hattrick tonight)

  227. goonermichael Says:

    Good thanks but still at work and past the point of getting home for the kick off. Just a case of how much I miss.

  228. goonermichael Says:

    What does djourou have to do to get a start?

  229. treze13 Says:

    be eboue

  230. raif Says:

    Evening Govers. are we ready for a goodnight of Football then?

  231. treze13 Says:

    hi raif, i’m going for…. 3-1 to us maybe 3-0 if we completely dominate

  232. raif Says:

    goonermichael.

    i think he has to Kill Song maybe even Gallas

  233. choy Says:

    hope so raif.. lets see how they line up..

  234. mark Says:

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh…4-5-1………………………noooooooooooooo

  235. choy Says:

    hehe.. join the club!

  236. treze13 Says:

    kick off now or in 15 minutes?

  237. choy Says:

    15 min treze.. have to do with text updates for today :twisted:

  238. treze13 Says:

    oh ok thanks choy, why text updates? no internet streams?

  239. choy Says:

    nah am at work.. all streams blocked!

  240. treze13 Says:

    oh… we’ll keep you updated then

  241. finestcuts Says:

    To me this is a 4-4-1-1

    Eboue—–Song——–Silvestre——-Clichy

    Walcott——-Denilson——-Diaby——Nasri

    ——————-Fabregas——————

    ——————-Adebayor—————

    This allows us to soak up pressure, Fabregas links up with Adebayor, Fabregas plays in “the hole”, and considering that in the first 15 minutes they’re expected to make wave after wave of attack, packing midfield and giving Fabregas an offensive role will be adequate for us to create chances and will compensate for lack of matches players at the back. I think it’ll work, we’re going for a low scoring win with this formation with defence prioritised over attack.

  242. SkandiBird Says:

    Oh God, I am soooooooooooooooooo excited, but for Song……. ah well, maybe Arsene knows something we all don’t???Why no Djouru??? Silvestre will have to work as two tonight then… f**k – COME ON YOU GUNNERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  243. Geoff Says:

    Goonermichael, well done for your honesty, and good call on Cherie! Song… Denilson, what the fuck is wrong with Wenger?

    Okay watch him tonight, watch how quickly he gets rid of the ball and how many fuck ups he makes.

  244. choy Says:

    i see only 4 defensive players in that lineup!

  245. SkandiBird Says:

    PS, don’t htink I ever told anyone of you that I loved Pires (still do) he was my D’artagne – or however you spell that name – infact I used to call the Viera, Thierry and Pires Un, deux, troix – and in the office we had a nick name for Thierry – ‘Enchante’ – whenever he scored that is what he would say … ahhhhh, I do miss him, but, I must say I do profess a big love for Pires. But, you know women, I have now moved my love to the new boy on the block; Eduardo (and Nasri is sneaking in there as well).

  246. treze13 Says:

    skandi Bobby P is my fave ever gooner, but we have nasri now and he looks like he might actually step up

  247. raif Says:

    look look. there sticking 4 players round TW14 when he gets the ball

  248. adebayor....papa Says:

    darrrrrrrrrrrrrrn my stream

    can someone keep us posted?

  249. treze13 Says:

    i noticed that too actually lol should open up some space

  250. adebayor....papa Says:

    TW14 should stick to the line

    Fener playa lot through the middle and like to crowd it there with criss cross passes

    TW on the line will keep them stretched

  251. trindle Says:

    I dont think Ade has been offside yet?

  252. raif Says:

    who do u think is the Bigger weaker link in our team?

    im stuck out of Song and Ade.

  253. treze13 Says:

    he has trindle….. and is it just me or is Fabregod slacking lately

  312. raif Says:

  313. choy Says:

    2 assists to cesc fabregas!

  314. mark Says:

  315. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Geoff get in to song, where is Johan when you need him

  316. marylandgunner Says:

    Might as well put RvP in as center back.

  317. treze13 Says:

  326. treze13 Says:

    3-1 DIIIIIIIIIABY

  327. Geoff Says:

    Get fucking Song off before we concede another.

  328. Rasputin Says:

    Diaby is a better striker than Ade!!!!

    Song off, JD on ASAP

  329. marylandgunner Says:

    DIABY . . . come on lads. Shut these wankers out!

  330. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Diaby, OH OH Diaby OH OH…OH OH

  331. Evo in Oz Says:

    get diaby back into the main team

  332. marylandgunner Says:

    Only 800 Arsenal fans at the game.

  333. Joe Todd Says:

    Diaby’s excellent

  334. adebayor....papa Says:

    wtf

    this is football or basketball???

  335. choy Says:

    :lol: .. come on arse!

  336. raif Says:

    who gives a flyer lol long as we Win

  337. raif Says:

    OK OK PEOPLE. lets take some Guesses on whos ganna score next?

    i say Nasri

  338. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Ades…papa thank god its not bloody cricket :(

  339. raif Says:

    Next scores that hasnt scored already i mean lol

  340. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    song, own goal

  341. adebayor....papa Says:

    who wants to vote for LJW and Vela as center backs?

  342. Evo in Oz Says:

    how the fuck did these cunts win any games last year?

  343. trindle Says:

    or Hockey – to quote some special cunt after we beat the spuds 5-4 at the Lane

  344. treze13 Says:

    Fabregod

  345. Geoff Says:

    We’ve been saying Diaby is the man (if fit) all season, we’ve also been saying Song is shit, he’s needs to get Djourou on and admit his mistake, Eboue’s ok, Denilson – no comment, Ade fantastico as is Nasri and Theo.

  346. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    is that John McCain coaching the Turks?

  347. Evo in Oz Says:

    man scum just scored an offside goal. bastards

  348. mark Says:

    fener are finding it so easy to disposess ade

  349. adebayor....papa Says:

    Eboue is playing good passes from the back

  350. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    song is slow to react

  351. Rasputin Says:

    Our defense is crap – a better team would have got 3 against us by now

  352. mark Says:

    i hate song and denilson…couldn’t he play JD and ramsey instead

  353. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    song again to slow

  354. Rasputin Says:

    defence

  355. Pedro Says:

    Is he sedated?

  356. raif Says:

    gnarleygeorge9

    i dont think its McCain mate. i think its Sarah Palin’s hunted down Animals.

    or maybe she has her Shotgun at there heads before the game

  357. adebayor....papa Says:

    song is a shame for red and white

    and people were cursing eboue…..he is defending in Fener half and no attack from right side

  358. treze13 Says:

    this commentary is hilariously bad. I shit you not he just said that the ref is getting on the fener fans’ “collective wick” wow…. just wow

  359. raif Says:

    what other Diffensive options do we have on the bench

  360. Pedro Says:

    The defending is shite, but im enjoying being 2 up!

    Diaby is doing well, I’d like to see how he defends… I doubt we’ll see that tonight though!

  361. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    just shoot!!!

  362. Pedro Says:

    Dirty Carlos

  363. Evo in Oz Says:

    clichy is fucking brilliant

  364. adebayor....papa Says:

    iraq goals went off air

    i had a broken stream from that… :(

  365. chris Says:

    streaming is shite tonight

  366. Evo in Oz Says:

    these cunts are more offside than kanu jnr

  367. Geoff Says:

    If he doesn’t take Song off the referee will, what his problem???

  368. Joe Todd Says:

    I take it back, diaby is crap.

  369. Pedro Says:

    I don’t like this new selfless ade and I don’t like Song.

  370. Evo in Oz Says:

    chris

    streaming is beautiful. get on TVU player channel 21501

  371. Geoff Says:

    Song is slow and shit.

  372. Keyser Says:

    Song done well with that Guiza through ball, didn’t commit himself, and closed down the angle.

  373. adebayor....papa Says:

    best comment on guardian live commentary

    <>

  374. raif Says:

    Ade is starting to piss me off.

    and Song has already pissed me off.

  375. maqitlarge Says:

    Ade needs to be more direct. At least twice now he’s held it up instead of taking on the last man.

    Think Denilson is doing ok. Some very good passes but not solid enough without the ball.

    Song is on crack.

  376. marylandgunner Says:

    Theo is so fast.

  377. chris Says:

    thnaks evo mate

  378. Pedro Says:

    Almunia has been superb

  379. raif Says:

    WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT. SORT IT OUT ARSENAL!!!!

  380. treze13 Says:

    almunia’s prevented us going behind lol even with 3 goals

  381. maqitlarge Says:

    Song is on crack, dope, angel dust. The lot!

    What is he playing at?

  382. adebayor....papa Says:

    song really thinks that he is an elephant

    he just refuses to move and barges into one and sundry

  383. Geoff Says:

    Another Song fuck up, I hope all the Song lovers are counting, cos I am.

  384. raif Says:

    ALMUNIA, England Number 1

  385. marylandgunner Says:

    He will move Song out at the half. He doesn’t want to risk a red card.

  386. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    cheers evo Chamone!!!

  387. marylandgunner Says:

    Fenerbache look like they are out of shape.

  388. mark Says:

    fabregas is playing a little tapped aswell, he’s looking a little dodgy

  389. trindle Says:

    Top class defending there from Tweety

  390. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    how was that offside????

  391. adebayor....papa Says:

    i think fab should drop backa bit

    he is getting cut out due to long balls being hoofed by fener back 4

  392. mark Says:

    a very entertaining yet quite annoying first half…
    hopefully for the second half: song OFF – djourou ON, although i doubt it

  393. Rasputin Says:

    Diaby gone off the boil, Nasri giving the ball away cheeply.

    They should have had 2 yellow cards for persistent fouling.

    Ignore the score, this comedy act is not a performance to be proud of…

  394. adebayor....papa Says:

    stream goes off again…

    any good working stream?

  395. gunnershabz Says:

    good attacking performance but defensive we look a bit dodgy

  396. marylandgunner Says:

    Mark, Song will be coming off. He has had 2 dodgy calls, for and against him. One more, and he is gone. Arsene isn’t stupid, at least I don’t think that he is.

  397. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    If song stays on he could get a 2nd yellow=red then it end 3-3. So its time to get Yo Yo on

  398. Keyser Says:

    This is not a performance to be proud of ?!

    We’re getting caught out at the back because they keep throwing loads of people forward, but we’ve taken our chances at the other end, catching their defence out, it’s not perfect but we’ve punished them well.

  399. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    TVU channel 21501, thanks to evo

  400. Evo in Oz Says:

    no worries lads, its a good stream so far – no issues

  401. Big Raddy Says:

    has the streaming stopped?. It is rubbish tonight.

    But not as bad as our defence which looks as though they have never met each other. Thank God for Clichy

  402. kelsey Says:

    What a game with no defence for either side.Need at least one more.Yes geoff song is double shit,Almunia saved us twice.It is a bit of a comedy act you are right and ade has no skill whatsoever,which is highlighted more than ever.Theo is putting good balls in,but our defensive is shambolic.

  403. Pedro Says:

    Don’t worry about it guys… Song wont be there for the next game and I doubt they’ll be that bad for a second half.

    Look at the positives:

    Diaby looks great
    Ade scored a cracker
    Theo is flying
    Cesc has 2 assists
    Almunia looks world class

  404. Evo in Oz Says:

    streaming still going. no issues as i said before.

    Dynamo are up 1-0 against porto

  405. raif Says:

    i hope wenger makes Alex Sing his Swan Song and takes him off

  406. freduardo Says:

    song very poor, Almunia doing well. What fdoes Wenger have against JD?
    very strange game to watch

  407. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    nice one raif :) hope you’re right

  408. chris Says:

    yeah raddy its tuv for streaming tonight as evo says

  409. adebayor....papa Says:

    time to bring in DJ in place of song

  410. Evo in Oz Says:

    i want celtic to score

  411. freduardo Says:

    hell of a free kick scored in the kiev game. long way out, scorcher.
    who have we on the bench tonight?

  412. chris Says:

    r teh reserves winning?

  413. trindle Says:

    Must agree that the Man U goal against Borwich looks suspiciously offside. The instant Berbatov glance to the linesman has the air of a Batsman who knows he has been caught behind!

  414. chris Says:

    just been handed a can of castlemaine, ill drink it in evo’s honor!

  415. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    are they boomerangs on the refs back?

  416. mark Says:

    song’s still on

  417. Pierre Says:

    question AW, song is poor, he gave away the free kick that led to the goal, been said on here he’s a goal waiting to happen (for the opposition) wtf is wrong with JD? what has he done to upset AW? Another point, diaby looks good, stick him behind RVP and put Mr Offside on the bench for a game or 2, see how that works.

  418. treze13 Says:

    fuck… nasri’s dead

  419. raif Says:

    we need to start Keeping the ball better other wise Engalnds Number 1 might not be able to save us. and we cant count on song as his a Pleb

  420. adebayor....papa Says:

    c’mon celtic..

    stuff the old red nose

  421. raif Says:

    FUCK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ITS SONG

  422. Pedro Says:

    SONG IS GOOOOOOOD!

  423. avenell Says:

    SONG!!!!!!!

  424. Pierre Says:

    not been reading the comments on here, been watching the match, but surprise surprise, the manc scummers goal was offside and allowed, they have every ref in their pockets, shit! Song goal!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A PLAYER ;¬)

  425. mark Says:

    FUCKKKKin HELLLL

  426. treze13 Says:

    lol song

  427. Geoff Says:

    Oh shit, that sealed his place in the team forever. Never thought I’d be pissed off to see us score.

  428. marylandgunner Says:

    Well, that’s one way to stay on the pitch.

  429. raif Says:

    Take off Song Right Now. before its to late

  430. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    I don’t fuck’n believe it;)

  431. Adom Says:

    Good finish.

  432. maqitlarge Says:

    I’ve always said he excellent!

  433. Evo in Oz Says:

    that is one for the ages. fucking brilliant

  434. chris Says:

    raif u are about 3 mins ahead of eth streaming!

  435. Pedro Says:

    I was kidding…

  436. Evo in Oz Says:

    im glad im wearing my song top this morning

  437. chris Says:

    u have the kiss of death Geoff!

  438. Pierre Says:

    Porto look in trouble, we can practically seal progress to the knock outs tonight! and we got these clowns at home next!

  439. Geoff Says:

    Not funny Pedro, go stand in the corner.

  440. choy Says:

    that goal is dedicated to geoff!

  441. raif Says:

    chris

    haha should i wait 3 mins to comment after somthing happens HAHAHA.,,, :)

  442. chris Says:

    ha ha mate,
    i dont care, its all good news u give!

  443. mark Says:

    evo-you have a song top?!

  444. Pierre Says:

    Fenerbache? “are you blackburn in disguise?”

  445. adebayor....papa Says:

    cnuts..

    they got second one on offside….

  446. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    The penny has just dropped. Poor old fener look like Hull. The boys are taking their frustrations out on the tiger look alikes. Its pay back

  447. jimmyfingers Says:

    Fair play its great to watch, but both defences are fucking shocking. Still we look so good going forward, and where has Diaby been hiding those skills? Oh yes, under the treatment table

  448. choy Says:

    ade pop.. we conceded?

  449. raif Says:

    haha so the Raif commentary continues then.

    “we sang for SONG’s head. then he BURIED A GOAL INSTEAD

    Alex Song!!

    Alex Songgggg!!!!!

  450. Pierre Says:

    fener look shit, this is the team that did the Chavs earlier this year?

  451. raif Says:

    Pierre

    remember they had a diffrent manger back then and a few diffrent players

  452. mark Says:

    lol-i like that one raif!

  453. jlp Says:

    yea i agree pedro almunia for the first time to me like he may actually be a world class keeper was never convinced however tonight he is changing my opinion of him

  454. Pierre Says:

    david pleat is a wanker,”if it stays like this wenger caould make some changes, perhaps from the bench” where the fuck else would he make changes from? fucking knob, he ruins the ITV4 coverage.

  455. adebayor....papa Says:

    i hate the fcking commentators on manc match..

    some ex leeds united guy sucking up to old red nose

    does not believe two goals were offside

    but was giving ref a stick for calling rooney offside

  456. finestcuts Says:

    Hey why were 3 of my posts scrubbed?

  457. Evo in Oz Says:

    no song top here mate….just some wit on my behalf. :-)

  458. Pierre Says:

    dunno raif, I don’t take an interest in the comings and going of these minnow teams ;)

  459. mark Says:

    not another one down

  460. raif Says:

    Mark its a good one aint it :)

    EVERYONE!!!!

    “WE SANG FOR SONG’s HEAD, THEN HE BURIED A GOAL INSTEAD!!

    ALEX SONG!!!

    ALEX SONGGGG!!!

  461. mark Says:

    righht

  462. Evo in Oz Says:

    nice song raif, i like that one!

  463. Geoff Says:

    They haven’t Finest, there’s nothing awaiting moderation???

  464. choy Says:

    i think we need to make subs now!!!

  465. Pierre Says:

    i bet aragonis is loving being beaten by a team with so many none white players in it!

  466. Geoff Says:

    I still want him off Raif.

  467. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    so its Roman V Romo tomorrow? how boring, back to Turkey, sorry

  468. finestcuts Says:

    One where I disputed Ade papas claim that the inventor of the wireless was indian, and where i wrote 1-0, then 2-0, and Ade papas post saying the indian fella invented the radio has also gone……………..just wondering where it went……
    4-1 !!!

  469. chris Says:

    vela time please

  470. Evo in Oz Says:

    very boring gnarls

  471. raif Says:

    Geoff so do i

    thats why i find the song “no pun intended” oh so funny

  472. mark Says:

    woah

  473. raif Says:

    ebuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  474. adebayor....papa Says:

    someone needs to hurt the cnut nani real baaaaaaaaaaaad

  475. Geoff Says:

    Where the fuck was Song, well done Eboue

  476. raif Says:

    England Number 1 is down injuerd.. come on son u can do it

  477. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Ebouuuuuue

  478. Evo in Oz Says:

    almunia the king

  479. Evo in Oz Says:

    well done eboue

  480. mark Says:

  481. jimmyfingers Says:

    Almunia for England

  482. raif Says:

    i say Keep England Number 1 as Captin his plaid very well indeed.

  483. raif Says:

    its a shame the same kinda powers dont help Gallas as much

  484. mark Says:

    ramsey coming on

  485. Evo in Oz Says:

    eboue was gold there, put his body in no worries

  486. mark Says:

    soon

  487. adebayor....papa Says:

    LOL

    Finest

    in fact JC Bose was the first guy to demonstrate a wireless message being transmitted

    :)

  488. raif Says:

    we want VELA!

    we want VELA!

    we want VELA!

    we want VELA!

  489. treze13 Says:

    oh so yeah take off diaby instead of denilson!?!?!?!

  490. mark Says:

    all aplaud

  491. jimmyfingers Says:

    You got Ramsey

  492. raif Says:

    “CLAPS DIABY”

  493. Geoff Says:

    As I’ve said before Eboue is a great right back and Diaby could replace Vieira, but Song is shockingly bad as right back, centre back or Defensive midfield.

    Bringing Diaby off says it all, what a blind cunt.

  494. Evo in Oz Says:

    well done diaby that was a top notch performance

  495. jimmyfingers Says:

    can someone clarify why Djourou isn’t about at all?

  496. Evo in Oz Says:

    diaby will be short of match fitness and wenger will want him for west ham

  497. mark Says:

    probably not match fit yet

  498. treze13 Says:

    any ideas on eduardo’s return?

  499. Trinidad_Gunner Says:

    Geoff, Diaby is just coming back from injury, maybe 70 minutes is enough for now .. he didn’t get alot of minutes in the last game

  500. mark Says:

    he’s ahead of schedule…still a month away or so off though

  501. finestcuts Says:

    Adebayor Papa, I believe it was Nikola Tesla, who was Serbian.

    http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_whoradio.html

  502. Geoff Says:

    You’re both wrong there, Bose invented direct reflecting sound, not the wireless radio.

    They have been a cllent of mine since 1985 so I should know.

  503. adebayor....papa Says:

    Ramsey for Denilson?

  504. raif Says:

    treze13

    The striker is continuing his recovery from a fractured leg. Speaking on October 2, Wenger said: “Eduardo is doing very well but is not close to play. Eduardo will be OK before Christmas, of course.”

  505. mark Says:

    ugh…f*ckin hell

  506. raif Says:

    Song the cunt im blaming him

  507. jimmyfingers Says:

    Our back line resembles a sieve

  508. trindle Says:

    That may have been Song’s fault!

  509. mark Says:

    may have been – WAS songs fault

  510. jimmyfingers Says:

    no-one answered, where Djourou?

  511. Geoff Says:

    What a great assist, who was it Carlos?, Guiza? no, it was fucking Song the useless cunt.

  512. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    bloody song again

  513. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    in the dog house jimmy

  514. Big Raddy Says:

    you had my apology this morning Geoff. Song is no longer on my Xmas card list….. the useless lump

  515. mark Says:

    i answeres jimmy- lacking match fitness

  516. Evo in Oz Says:

    almunia should have done better on that

  517. Rasputin Says:

    Crap Defending again – we’re lucky they are shite!

  518. finestcuts Says:

    Tesla invented/discovered wireless, broadcasting, I think that is correct and that I am not wrong about that.

  519. jimmyfingers Says:

    wish ramsey had shot there

  520. raif Says:

    Songs face is now on my Darts Board

  521. adebayor....papa Says:

    Geoff

    you are talking about Bose, the manufacturers of Audio systems

    i am talking abt J C Bose who is lesser known and actual inventor of wireless communication phenomena.

    He was staunchly against patents ( socialist) and Tesla patented a “use” of the technology discovered by J C Bose and hence popularly known as inventor of Wireless.

    no way i mean to reduce his contribution, but if you look up recent citations in IEEE journals, JC Bose has been mentioned as inventor of Wireless communication.

  522. mark Says:

    JIMMY – djourou on

  523. Pierre Says:

    at last, JD

  524. raif Says:

    Fuck me. TW14 for JD. thats stupid. he should have taken song the Mong off instead

  525. trindle Says:

    JD on for … Walcott??????
    Song stays on???
    No Vela????

    He relly does(nt) know best.

  526. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    JD20 ITs ABOUT TIME :twisted:

  527. Evo in Oz Says:

    should have taken nasri off to keep him fresh. carrying a few niggles

  528. raif Says:

    yeayyyyyyyyyyyyy VELA IS ON :)

  529. jimmyfingers Says:

    My brother’s fault, he said Djourou wasn’t even on the bench and I hadn’t read anywhere he’s injured

    Vela on

  530. treze13 Says:

    vela ella ela ela eh eh eh

  531. mark Says:

    velaaa

  532. raif Says:

    THANK FUCK FOR THAT.

  533. trindle Says:

    Oooh, take part of it back … although what Vela is supposed to do in 4 mins?

  534. Pierre Says:

    now vela on, this is the team we should have started with with the exception og walcott in, song out!

  535. Pierre Says:

    and diaby in, denilson out!

  536. Evo in Oz Says:

    denilson played well.

    clichy is in super form

  537. raif Says:

    Tears of a clown indeed mate

  538. finestcuts Says:

    No Ade papa, it was Tesla :)
    The technology comes from the Tesla coil which is used to power yourr computer.
    Tesla wanted to provide free electricity to the world, he was a humanitarian, socialism is a political word for statists.

  539. raif Says:

    Tesla coil

    last time i heard that word was when i was playing Command & Conquer

  540. adebayor....papa Says:

    Song o Song

    u did it again !!

  541. Evo in Oz Says:

    man scum tore celtic a new ass.

    disappointing

  542. raif Says:

    that was nice play he should have shot tho

  543. Geoff Says:

    Okay Papa, Finest and accepted Raddy! whew.

  544. adebayor....papa Says:

    finest..

    maybe that’s why Tesla had a love hate relationship with Marconi

    why would he go and get his technology patented if he was a humanitarian?

    He was mighty pissed when Marconi got Nobel in 1911

  545. treze13 Says:

    ok they just topped it on the commentary “CONFIDENCE FKIN TABLETS!!!!!” piss off itv

  546. Evo in Oz Says:

    eboue should have pulled the trigger on that

  547. raif Says:

    Song didnt take his Confidence tablets today did he

  548. mark Says:

    aaaaaaaaaaaarooooooooon

  549. trindle Says:

    Oh Ramsey the man!

  550. maqitlarge Says:

    Play the boyo and he will score!!

  551. treze13 Says:

    RAMSEY!!!!!!!!

  552. Pierre Says:

    ramsey !!!!!

  553. raif Says:

    RAMSEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  554. Geoff Says:

    And my choice for Diaby’s back up…..Aaron Ramsey, take a bow both of us, now fuck off Song.

  555. Rasputin Says:

    What do you think of Ramsey Pedro? – looks like he may come good sooner than 4 years……

  556. adebayor....papa Says:

    villareal make a new one for allaborg

    6-3

  557. Keyser Says:

    Great skill by Eboue..

  558. Evo in Oz Says:

    superb

  559. raif Says:

    treze13

    i still cant get over the Confidence tablets LOL

  560. adebayor....papa Says:

    Ramsey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  561. jimmyfingers Says:

    5 goals great, 2 against bad and they could have scored more. I know which number will dominate the headlines but I can’t help but focus more on the shocking defence. Better teams will find us out and better teams won’t gift us as many goals

    Yes it’s a makeshift backline but it was comedy defending at times

  562. finestcuts Says:

    Tesla had tons of patents, Tesla died penniless, I do not see a problem with getting a patent.

    http://home.earthlink.net/~drestinblack/humanitarian.htm

    Find out more about Tesla before judging him, he was a known humanitarian.

  563. treze13 Says:

    raif that commentary is really shocking…… i would shut it off but its almost enteratining

  564. Geoff Says:

    You know what I said about Ramsey, look at my posts and go back this week.

    Night all, I’m off!

  565. adebayor....papa Says:

    MoM ???

  566. treze13 Says:

    diaby for MoM

  567. adebayor....papa Says:

    i might be wrong finest

    will surely read up

    peace out !! :D

  568. Rasputin Says:

    I agree with you Geoff, Pedro told me he wouldn’t be good enough until he was 22 – mind you that was when we were all affected by the interlull madness!

  569. raif Says:

    treze13

    i agree, i only listen to it only to hear what kinda rubbish were going to here come out of there mouths.

  570. adebayor....papa Says:

    i second Treze

  571. raif Says:

    Le-Chump of the week.

    David Pleate with the Number One Comment

    “Confidence tablets”

  572. finestcuts Says:

    All good Adebayor papa, I’ll read up about Bose :)

  573. choy Says:

    i would like to nominate beach bum for the MOM!

  574. Evo in Oz Says:

    glad i took the day off work, now i can start getting on the heinekens!

  575. gunnershabz Says:

    hey aaron ramsey looks like a quality player….

    just worried about the defence as long we clincial, we shall be up for a rollercoaster season

  576. Pedro Says:

    Rasputin… it’s called I.W.S., not an interlull!

    Again, lets not get too excited about him… he’s not going to win us the Prem, but he did look sharp!

    I have plenty to write about in tomorrows post!

    I’m off to create a masterpiece!

    Good evening all!

  577. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    I’m going to take a different tact with JD20.

    Notice Wenger keeps playing the blokes who we bag, & refuses to give the ones we like a good go. Well.

    Johan is shit I’d get rid of him & Vela………

    No I can’t do it ;)

    Johan’s cameo was impressive :)

  578. freduardo Says:

    great result but man did we look dodgy at the back.
    goog on ramsey at the end. fenerbahce looked gobsmacked.
    v dodgy at the back. big time.
    come on you gunners!!

  579. trindle Says:

    Theo just said “everone got their jobs right tonight”.

    Wonder what job Song was given?

  580. Pedro Says:

    Jack who?

    We’ve still got him to come!

  581. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    See ya Geoff, I off to the shower, no beers for me yet evo, I’m off to work later.

  582. raif Says:

    trindle

    hahaha i was thinking the same thing.

    not unless his trying to cover up for him and protect hima little bit

  583. Rasputin Says:

    Sorry Pedro – yes IWS, I did read that excellent post of yours.

    Arseblog calls it the interlull, he’s not a bad pundit either.

    I promise never to say I told you so again, but you know Ramsey will feature for us in the Prem this season.

  584. mark Says:

    lol…ramsey is definately something! :P
    im off, night all!

  585. trindle Says:

    Probably reading from the Book of Wenger … or AW is standing behind the camera !

  586. Evo in Oz Says:

    setanta commentators are just ripping into us at the minute. cunts

  587. freduardo Says:

    they seem to think that we are a dictatorship and its a problem.
    oh yeah and we dont spend a fortune. the fella on the right even said vela didnt get on. jokers.

  588. raif Says:

    night Mark

  589. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    evo i agree with what they are saying re defense. Our defense is average @ best.

  590. Evo in Oz Says:

    yeah but that fat cunt sitting on the end says Almunia is rubbish. hardly.

  591. Keyser Says:

    Evo – What are they saying ?!

  592. Pedro Says:

    For the record Rasputin:

    I said:

    ‘I’d love him to be perfect, but we’ll have to wait 5 years to see the best of him…. then he’ll get good enough and ask for a move back to Cardiff city…’

    and:

    ‘I’m not saying Ramsey wont be great… he will be. I am merely saying he isn’t the answer to our issues this year. To say he will be winning us league titles in 2 years is also a bit hopeful… he is only young, give him a chance.’

    Those two comments are a bit different to saying he wont be good enough until he is 22!

    Anyway… I am pleased!

  593. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    Yes I that was a bad call. The Waiter was great.

  594. Evo in Oz Says:

    how good is the special one character, fucking funny

  595. kelsey Says:

    Diaby showed in 70 minuts more than Adebayor has in 8 games.Great result in a cauldron,though it could have been 7-5.Song is a cunt,but now a goalscoring cunt.

  596. Pedro Says:

    “He is 17 and a half years old, you have to be realistic as well. I think nowhere in the world do players so young get regular chances in the squad as much as here at Arsenal Football Club.”

    “On top of that, you cannot rush me to make it any quicker,”

    Arsene earlier in the week.

  597. freduardo Says:

    the fat fella is clueless. ALmunia did well tonight. he was busy enough anyway. and we were without 3 of our back 4. great result again.

  598. gnarleygeorge9 Says:

    my favourite is sven :lol:

  599. Mandanda Says:

    Good result but our defence looked exposed like everyone has said…but i think this may be down to tactics played we tried to squeeze the play up pushing our defenders a few yards making Alumnia play sweeper, but in the last 15/20 mins we stepped back a bit. We were successfully in the tactic most times as they were caught offside most of the time.
    Like I said earlier JD should be given a chance at DM
    Nite all

  600. Evo in Oz Says:

    the rooney one is gold as well

  601. raif Says:

    right im off Grovers. till tomorrow night

  602. Evo in Oz Says:

    catch ya raif

  603. freduardo Says:

    did anyone predict 5-2 by the way?

  604. Evo in Oz Says:

    i was gonna say i bet ramsey scores when he came on

  605. trindle Says:

    THe words “pub after work” and “monopolising the tv” are ringing in my ears … “compromise” will follow shortly! a 5 – 2 win in Turkey is the biz, shit defence or not.

    Night Grovers

  606. Evo in Oz Says:

    reserves lost 1-0

  607. freduardo Says:

    the fat fella described holding midfielder denilson as ‘powderpuff’. fair comment? seems harsh for the young lad winning 5-2 in Turkey

  608. Evo in Oz Says:

    yeah i thought it was a tough call. who gives a fuck anyway, we dont play a setup that is reliant on that anyway. Cesc and Denilson alternate between who will go forward and who will stay back. it happens in every game i watch

  609. BOY BETTER KNOW Says:

    diaby needs to stay fit denilson i hate him song is a clown but scored a nice volley rambo is world class adebayor lol ….

  610. freduardo Says:

    do you think it is limiting cesc going forward though? gotta keep that kid happy. .dont know if denilson is worth compromising his game for.
    disappointed not to see Bendtner tonight. was he on the bench?

  611. Evo in Oz Says:

    yeah he was along with RVP

    Substitutes
    Lukasz Fabianski
    Nicklas Bendtner
    Carlos Vela
    (86) Aaron Ramsey
    (73) Kieran Gibbs
    Johan Djourou
    (84) Robin Van Persie

  612. Evo in Oz Says:

    you could possibly say it is limiting, however Nasri is there on the wing to sort that out and is proving to be the buy we hoped for!

  613. franchise Says:

    Mandanda Song is a master of goals. he’s scored one and cused us four in three games. The guy is useless

  614. Keyser Says:

    What four has he caused ?!

  615. Goonerman Says:

    Arsene Wenger is a bad judge, he does not realise Song is rubbish.

  616. Rasputin Says:

    Its your site Pedro and you are almost as stubborn as AW.

    Also you have the ability to track back and reproduce selective quotes.

    Those who read the ongoing debate between us will remember that I didn’t say that Ramsey was the answer. I said (not an exact repro) that I though he might be the answer to a partner for Cesc in a couple of years and you jumped on me and said he wouldn’t be ready for 5 years.

    Come on, be a man – admit that perhaps you underestimated the pace at which he has developed and he could conceivably become an important player in the next two years. No-ones going to think any the less of you!!

  617. franchise Says:

    1.he didnt close down the substitute at Sunderland
    2. he didnt close down on pinnear against newcastle
    3. he gave away a stupid free kick against fener and with the ensuing cross got himself caught out in the far post
    4. and the second fener goal he heads a ball that is beyond him causing alumnia to mistime the projectile of the ball… he virtually passes to guiza. If he had allowed that ball to drop i believe Alumnia could have rushed of his line , and denied guiza

  618. freduardo Says:

    is it true he’s rigobert song’s nephew? heard that from a very unreliable source.

  619. franchise Says:

    sorry keyser the no. 2 was aginst everton

  620. franchise Says:

    freduardo its true ur unreliable source is right probably for once

  621. Goonerman Says:

    fred – yes he is. And I think he has potential to be a good player at CB (for what its worth)

  622. freduardo Says:

    franchise that is harsh. i aint his biggest fan, but for the 1st fener goal tonight there was someone conmpletely free at the back post. Sure Song didnt clear it, but he stopped his man from scoring. someone else lost their man.

  623. franchise Says:

    I disagree with u goonerman… Kolo and Gallas are very good CB but their main deficieny is the lack of height. To think that Song has less overall qualities than them and is probably shorter (I would confirm in a minute) just tells me that he can not succeed at CB at least for Arsenal. I might be wrong but I dont think Song is doing himself ne favours with his lethargic performances

  624. Pat Says:

    Only caught the 2nd half after school(here in the U.S.). Defending looked really shady. The speed of toure and Gallas would have helped a lot today. Great shwoing by Diaby. Theo looked really good. Where was RVP today?

    And Almunia. He’s really improved.

  625. franchise Says:

    Conceeding the free kick makes him as gulty as Ade who lost his guy to the far post. He did the same again against a thirty hundred year old roberto carlos. If it were another referee he would have gotten sent off

  626. franchise Says:

    u wouldn’t believe it according to skysports kolo, willy, and song are all 1.83m tall. hmmmmmmmm

  627. avenell Says:

    Roberto Carlos changed the direction of his run, and ran straight at Song to get him sent off..

  628. avenell Says:

    And if Gilberto had of done that first block, the invisible wall would have been a hero..

  629. franchise Says:

    Avenell are u serious ? Songs eye’s weren’t on the ball both times he was the obstruction watch the highlights carefully

  630. Keyser Says:

    Franchise – I think people are being harsh, yeah he hasn’t had the best of starts but then he hasn’t had a regular run and hasn’t been played much in one particular position either.

    1. He did close him down, he just didn’t want to foul him soo close to the area giving away the free kick, making the right choices in such areas come with experience and regular games. The shot was pin point, i’d say an inch or two in any direction would have lead it onto the post, crossbar or fingertips of Almunia.

    2. He didnt close down Pienaar because he had two men to mark and was caught in between, Denilson was blamed just as much because he didn’t track the run of Osman, it was his first game at right back aswell, Eboue could’v helped out.

    3. He had two players to deal with there and even then the person he was marking had his arms all over him and was pushing him down.

    4. You could blame Song for this but it was an awkward header, he lets that drop and Guiza’s in behind anyway with an easier oppurtunity.

  631. Rasputin Says:

    I think, in Clichy, Nasri, Ramsey and Wilshire, we have emerging players who not only have skill and ability in abundance, but who are very determined, work really hard and are like terriers snapping at the heels of the opposition if they lose the ball. Nasri and Ramsey chased down the ball if they gave it away and often managed to regain possession. Clichy has played like this for a season or two and is an example to some of the more lethargic players who think that chasing back is beneath them.

  632. franchise Says:

    Hero how? In both occassions Song had enough time to chase after the ball and deal with it but cos he’s as heavy as an elephant he chose to obstruct the players

  633. David Says:

    GEOFF SONG SCORED HAHAHAHA! NOW GET OF THE MANS ARSE! HE DID GOOD (SOMETIMES)

  634. avenell Says:

    I did, they played it back even that tosser Arsenal hating Pleat agreed..

  635. Keyser Says:

    Carlos ran into him on purpose the second time, or so the commentators were saying continously.

  636. Pedro Says:

    Rasputin, if he is ready in 2 years time… brilliant!

    Diaby will only be 24 in 2 years and I imagine that he will be Cesc’s long term partner… then you have Denilson… another favourite who is only young…

    Still, the exciting thing is… he does give us a viable option off the bench and he looks very hungry!

    If I was to make a predicton… I’d say if Ramsey is going to play anywhere while he is young… it will be out wide.

  637. freduardo Says:

    Franchise, what i am saying is that once the free kick is given, it has to be defended. like you say, Ade lost his man. unforgiveable if it was 0-0. To say Song is at fault for the goal is a little harsh. also I am playing devils advocate a small bit, as I would have JD every day of the week ahead of Song.

  638. David Says:

    Ramsey’s place is clearly in the Middle. Along with Cesc….i saw him make a flamini tackle…It was almost as beautiful as his pin-point passing.

    That boi is trully amazing.

  639. Pedro Says:

    Second goal kick was songs fault from the perspective of the freekick… but the goal… well, I’d say it was a foul…

  640. Rasputin Says:

    Pedro – IMO Ramsey is every bit as good as Denilson already.

    Every time he has played for an Arsenal team, he has come on in central midfield, or part of a midfoeld three – why put him out wide when we now have plenty of good wide players?

    I agree Diaby will get precedence over him and judging by his first half performance today, that would be justified, but there were glimpses of the old ‘dwell on the ball too long’ and wayward passes that used to be part of his game in the second half. I meant what I said in an earlier post though – Diaby looked like very bit as good a striker as Ade on todays performance.

  641. David Says:

    The only thing good i can see about denilson is that he is Tough and he doesnt get injured like the rest do…

    I think we played the ball to Nasri too much and dropped the intensity from an 8 to a 2 and a half….it was so bad.

    We shouldve lit up the score board….at least 7 goals.

  642. avenell Says:

    Diaby as Fabregas’s partner would be great, just a BIG question on his fitness, if not Ramsey will give Denilson a run after xmas for that position..

  643. franchise Says:

    I respect Wenger’s judgement but sometimes when he makes decisions I am baffled. There must be a lot going on in training sessions that actually doesn’t materialize in matches. For one I cant see what Alexandre Song offers this team. He scored wow! And??? Whis game could have easily gone the other way at two-nil if Song got sent off (which would have been a fair decision) then we would have been fucked. The guy is like a time bomb. He sent one away on loan to Milan not knowing that there’s one still in the team

  644. Pedro Says:

    Can’t disagree on either count there!

    Denilson just doesn’t have that spark you look for in a centre mid… Ramsey does, Diaby does and so does Cesc.

    Still, that has never stopped Wenger persisting has it?

  645. Pedro Says:

    David… Denilson was missing all last year becuase of injury!

  646. Evo in Oz Says:

    song got pushed down by the fenerbache guy and silvestre had it ricochet of his leg, so some bad luck involved there

  647. David Says:

    TRUE!

    But R.V.P wouldve been broken into pieces with the kinda tackles that Denilson got already…

    Ras i can say i agree with you on that one…I think Diaby loves to dribble a bit too much there are times he shouldve let it out quicker to theo who made R. Carlos look like he wasnt there.

    Ramsey Belongs in the middle ahead of Diaby…in my mind. The boi needs to grow up quick and our midfield would be Orgasmic! I think Diaby can go out wide and Rest Theo or Left with Nasri…but he played the striking role today very nicely. He’s not as quick as Ade tho!

  648. Keyser Says:

    franchise – Exactly, how much do we actually know about the players save say for what we see on mtachday, people have said we have 31 trainers or staff allocated for training and then don’t get why we need to rest players or only ease players into the team ?!

    Training sessions are timed down to the second, so is their diet and their bodies assessed for fitness and injury down to the minute detail.

    On the other hand we could have scored another 10 goals, In the end it was 5-2.

  649. David Says:

    Silvestre was solid today…I just wish he stop defending like a United Player and stop booting the ball out aimlessly like that.

    Hand it out wide to a full back.

    My man of the Match

    Almunia.

  650. Evo in Oz Says:

    id prefer the ball booted into the crowd than being stripped of it and the ball played into the box by the opposition

  651. Pedro Says:

    I find that approach refreshing David!

    There is nothing worse than watching the Arsenal defence dither with the ball… you needn’t worry, he’ll be playing the Arsenal way soon!

    He is a monster though… I didn’t realise how big he was!

    I was impressed with his signing in the summer… I think that will prove to be an invaluable signing.

  652. Rasputin Says:

    A midfield three of Diaby, Ramsey and Cesc is a very exciting prospect for the future. All three can score goals from outside the box as well as providing ‘killer passes’ and producing the intricate link-up Wengerball play the purists so admire. An on-form Eduardo as the ‘fox in the box’ in front of that midfield would tear apart any defense in the world.

  653. peachesgooner Says:

    How lovely, a game where we scored lots of goals – which is very good – but could easily have conceded lots of goals – which is very bad.

    I thought Almunia was terrific. He had to play on the edge of his box like a defender for most of the 2nd half. Would Gallas or Toure have improved that situation i wonder?

    Big worry, after a good european performance comes a rubbish pl performance. This game was a master class for opposition managers to show how not to play against us. Wanna guess what Zolas gonna be showing his players tmoro?

  654. Pedro Says:

    I bet RvP was annoyed at not getting a game!

    This time last year we wouldn’t have been able to rest him… now it is not a problem.

    It’s just a shame we don’t have a defender like Chillieni… really reliable no nonsense type of player…

  655. Keyser Says:

    If that’s the midfield 3, all 3 of them would have to learn to defend and share the responsibility together, Nasri works his socks off though, a fit Rosicky in that midfield would e great to.

  656. franchise Says:

    Keyser 5-2 good score line but we all know that trophies are not handed out in October. If we keep accommodating the likes of Song in our firts team then be rest assured that we wouldnt win fuck all. Fergie realised this thats why he replaced furniture like Alan Smith, Quinton Fortune, Kleberson etc and replaced them with Tevez, Berba, Nani, Hargreaves, etc. My point is the game didnt tell me nethin that I didnt already know. Playing Song in any position would get me as worried as in the past when we use to play Cygan and Senderos

  657. Evo in Oz Says:

    we were playing a massive offside trap for the whole game cause guiza was trying to get us on the break. our whole team was playing up the pitch so almunia was out of his area heaps, but played superbly minus the mistake on their 2nd goal

  658. Pedro Says:

    Anyway, I must hit the sack…

    The post is prepared for tomorrow…!

    Happy blogging!

  659. ikon Says:

    Ramsey is flamini with a vision to go with Cesc,

    Cesc-Ramsey try out against west ham if we are winning by 70th minute.

  660. ikon Says:

    song is worth of a good CB.

    What he lacks in height just like gallas, he makes up in composure and amazing strength.

    If a defender stands his ground like a pillar, and you cannot budge him, as a striker you will not have much of a chance to win highballs.

    It is just down to song’s positioning and accuracy in determining the flight of ball, which will come with a good run of games as a CB and not RB or CDM, which i might add is a fucking joke to play him there.

  661. ikon Says:

    Ramsey made my assesment of him come true, strong in tackles, upper body strength of a monster for a 17 year kid, maturity and vision only second to cesc on the field.

    I have said it a zillion times, i say it again… Cesc-Ramsey….. is the pair that can win us something this year.

    Night all , it was fun.

  662. Evo in Oz Says:

    night you guys

  663. franchise Says:

    Enough about Song for now. I can tell u for a fact that three four weeks ago I was one of the ppl advocating that he was being judged harshly. Its like scales have fallen off my eyes and I can now see why Pedro and Geoff never rated him

  664. David Says:

    Evo ure absolutely right…

    The goals were nice…We scored 4 from below the 50 hr mark…the rest of the game seemed like a competition between Guiza and Adebayor…Who will be offsides the most!

    I think Adebayor won…………..*heavy sigh*

  665. franchise Says:

    In my negative assessment of Arsenal players I’m always wishing that I’m proved wrong cos if I keep getting it right then we would be fucked. I hope Song steps up and lives up to the potential that he probably shows le prof in training and his displays at the African Nations Cup.

  666. Evo in Oz Says:

    just saw the stoke-spuds highlights on setanta. they are in the poo big time. bents consolation goal was offside so should have been 2-0 or even 3-0 if stoke didnt miss the last penalty. dawsons red card was exactly like the tackle on Eduardo, suprised the stoke lad didnt have a broken leg – it was a replica tackle.

    Woodgate looks rubbish too, glad we didnt buy him!

  667. Keyser Says:

    Franchise – So, accept the result for what it was then, shaky defence great attack, despite several key players out, if Fergie has to play without Ferdinand, Vidic and Neville/ Brown then I bet he’d take 5-2 away to Fenerbahce in Turkey aswell.

    Tevez, Berba, Nani, Hargeaves ? Only 100 million pounds there.

  668. goonermichael Says:

    fuck me I really enjoyed that

  669. Evo in Oz Says:

    id have nearly taken a draw tonight, so fuck this defence bollocks, lets just keep scoring!

  670. goonermichael Says:

    just watched the madrid highlights. Are they a dutch team?

  671. avenell Says:

    When you owe £650 mill what’s a £100 million here and there.. ;)

  672. Rasputin Says:

    I didn’t rate Fener tonight or Porto in the last CL game. I guess we will only see if we are really good enough to win something when we play Manu, Chelski and Pool in the Prem.

  673. franchise Says:

    Keyser 100mil I know. The cash he spent just shows that he realised that things have changed and that if he needed to match chelsea that he had to offload his average players. we couldn’t afford to do that but sometimes I think wenger is more interested in the development of his young players careers rather than the club’s. We need silverware badly and if he keeps playing players like Song (even worse when they are out of position) then we are fucked. He probably doesn’t rate Djourou thats why he plays Song ahead of him. Even when Djourou came on he slotted into midfield. REALLY REALLY STRANGE. but hey we won

  674. Evo in Oz Says:

    diaby was the ducks nuts tonight. he needs to get a run of games now to show us again what he can do!

    fuck i love winning, it just makes your day!

  675. franchise Says:

    Rasputin you are spot on there. I would have fancied any of the top four in their current form to annhilate the porto and fener sides we have faced

  676. Evo in Oz Says:

    we annhilated them too

  677. eltel08 Says:

    Almunia looked great at CB but he isn’t good enough. No matter who we play in defence we always look like we are all over the place and Almunia is the only one who is always playing.

    Says it all really, both goals were his fault and his reaction to the first tells the story. He made a couple of smart saves on the edge of the box but their finishing was awful with shots hit straight at him.

    Did you see him try slide tackiling the forward who’s shot was cleared off the line, please tell me has anyone seen a keeper constantly going for the ball feet first.

    Yes he did his job but we were all over the shop yet again and he let in two soft goals.

    Dennilson is a good player but we need more power in the centre of the park just in front of the defence.

    Other than that we were fantastic and Cesc, Nasri, Theo and Diaby were outstanding. Ade was ok for about 10 minutes and after he scored it looked like he thought it was job done. The subs were wrong again and too late in the match even though the great Sir Alf made a difference to our tiring team.

    Diaby was tired but his presence scared them and Dennilson should have made way. Arsen I believe hasn’t learned and went defensive at the end and by doing this he invited them on. Luckily they were fucked after 80 minutes and it didn’t do to much damage this time.

  678. Keyser Says:

    I say this all the time and people probably get bored of it but we’re not United or Chelsea we can’t compete like for like at least not yet, I don’t think Wenger would have put such emphasis in youth if Abramovich had not come along.

    We need silverware badly ? That doesn’t really matter we had a good season last year and people will look to blame this, that and everything but the only two teams that finished above us were Chelsea and United, the same two that reached the Champions League final andf are probably favourites again this year.

    Chelsea didn’t build a squad they bought a World Class one over a couple of seasons, we can’t do that it takes time, players leave and move on and it’s going to take the players coming in time to adjust, but we seem to want the same sort of instand impact the players at Chelsea and United make.

    It takes longer than that, 8 games into a season, where Denilson and Song have played a handful of games each and they’re supposed to work out new positions and responsibilites instantly ?!

    Djourou’s just come back so he eased him in, he probably played him in midfield to see how he does with less pressure and also because he doesn’t have to move the back four around again because they’ve played less than two games there together.

  679. Keyser Says:

    So now we’re moaning about Almunia ? How the hell was the first goal his fault ?!

    What was wrong with the subs ? Too defensive ? One of them scored..

  680. eltel08 Says:

    I am happy that we won and so convincingly too but there are things wrong and they should be rectified before it’s to late.

    To any neutral watching us must be a dream but hey they just stick them cunts on the main channel again.

    The commentator at our match said lets go to the BIG game of the night and see how the European Champions are getting on. We don’t want to know about the rotten cheating cunts ITV.

    Wasn’t Juve V Real THE big game in Europe tonight or that boring Scotland V Scotland encounter that they strangely seem to get far to often.

  681. freduardo Says:

    5-2 awesome result the more i think about it. Almunia starting to convince me more and more. and another teenager scores for us. a good day. night grovers.

  682. franchise Says:

    Good point Keyser. U’ve just confirmed one of my worst fears that qualifying for the champions league by finishing in the top four is now our ’silverware’

  683. franchise Says:

    According to Keyser all gooners should be prepared for mediocricity :lol:

  684. David Says:

    Almunia was the man of the match!

    Also great job by Eboue on both ends of the pitch…

  685. eltel08 Says:

    Keyser

    We wouldn’t have to experiment if he kept the players who left last year. Almunia didn’t have a clue where his defenders were for the first goal just the same as on Saturday but I suppose you think that he was good because he did his job sweeping up the defence.

    The subs worked against a weakened team and I already said Ramsey made a difference so read the comment properly.

    After he took Diaby off they came bombing at us for about ten minutes and that was my point. He did it at Chavs last year and the year before when we were winning and he did it at Brum that fucked up our season.

    Fener were chasing and very tired so tonight happily it all worked out ok.

  686. Keyser Says:

    Come on dude LoL stop being soo melodramatic, people say Song’s shit, Denilson’ shit, Eboue’s shit because players at United and Chelsea are soo much better, but then it’s that bit harder to match them in the first place isn’t it ?!

    We’re not going to win things because of one or two players, we’re going to win as a team and the longer they get together the better they should get.

    The bar has been raised, we’re not soo much ducking underneath it as trying our best to reach our way up to it.

  687. Evo in Oz Says:

    ElTel – agreed. there are cunting bastards all over the place that love bandwagoning. its their favourite past time to suck up the arses of man scum and cunts like that.

    at least SBS TV here in Oz had the guts to show the juve vs real game as thats what most of the punters over here would have wanted to see.

  688. Rasputin Says:

    Good debate, we managed to find plenty of faults in a 5:2 victory – what would a spuds fan give to even scrape a 1 nil result!

    Night all…….

  689. Keyser Says:

    franchise – If the team thought like the doommongers out there they wouldn’t get out of bed, there’s positives and negatives about everything.

    eltel08 – Your joking right ? So while a Fenerbahce player’s smashing the ball across goal, only for Silvestre to hack wildly at it, he should not only save it but make sure the defenders were properly prepared in the first place, a defence he’s played about one and a half games with ?!

    Sagna was injured against the Chavs and what are you on about at Brum ?!

  690. Evo in Oz Says:

    see ya rasputin

  691. avenell Says:

    El Te..l I agree about Wengers substitutions he takes off the players who can hold a ball up like Pires in the Champions League final..

    Not on Almunia, definatly not tonight..

  692. goonermichael Says:

    the mancs just beat the equivalent of a championship side 3 nil so fucking what, They don’t look that good for all thier millions. I’m sick of people saying “wait until we play someone good” didn’t everyone say that until dudu was injured last season? How is leading the league until you get a terrible injury and disgraceful reffing decision ending up 3rd mediocrity? Obviously it’s not good enough but hardly mediocre

  693. franchise Says:

    Keyser when u going to war you do not only think about ur troops u should be also aware of ur advesaries. Fine lets not compare our players with our trophy rivals lets do an in-house comparison. I made a point today about what players like Ade Eboue and denilson (the players that seem to recieve the most stick) offer the club but regards to Song I still cant see it. Maybe he needs a nother 60 appearances to the 40 he’s grabbed already then he can truly showcase his talents. Im just saying that Im not the even in the top 100,000 football analyst in the world but I can see enough to exploit if Song played in defence or midfield in an opposing team. A seasoned manager like fergie would have gone for the jugular today

  694. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    Glad I watched the game, because if i’d have based my opinion on some of the comments here tonight i’d have gone to bed thinking we lost!

  695. jouyouo Says:

    Arsenal successfully rampaged Fenerbahce to win 5-2 on a marvelous but very gritty night in Istanbul.

    Arsene Wenger’s line-up was very conservative. The same back four that finished out the Everton game were used while Robin van Persie was sacrificed to allow a five-man midfield which included Abou Diaby.

    Expectedly, the atmosphere at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium was very comfortable – to be notoriously sarcastic. And that paid off for the home side when Almunia was called into action by running off his line to stop a potential goal-scoring opportunity for Fenerbahce with only four minutes played.

    But the fanatic Istanbul crowd were calmed after just eleven minutes. First Emmanuel Adebayor – courtesy of Fabregas’ through-ball and Walcott’s little flick to let him off – met goalkeeper Demirel in close-range, and he coolly slid the past him into the right corner of the net. A minute later, Theo Walcott also took advantage of another intelligent pass from Fabregas and with the help of his pace, Walcott rounded off the keeper to give Arsenal an absolutely dream start against the odds in Turkey.

    The hosts did make their response eight minutes after. A dully defended free kick was eventually tapped home to the side of Almunia by Mikael Silvestre. At 2-1, after just 20 minutes, many anticipated a thrilling Turkish night.

    And the hype did not disappoint with yet again another turn-around three minutes after Fenerbahce’s goal. Abou Diaby held off two defenders on the left of the penalty box and finished with his left foot to restore Arsenal’s two-goal cushion. Both teams continued their clumsy defending, and at half-time, the scoreline should or could have been double what it read.

    Four minutes after the second-half’s start, the match was left to the dead by a goal from Alex Song of all people. The Cameroonian fiercely volleyed home a lazily headed ball by Fenebahce’s defense. The Turks then mounted a surge for an astonishing comeback – which was somehow a good bet. After all Turkey is a nation of drama according to Euro 2008’s narrators.

    Chances of that revenge were bettered when Daniel Guiza chipped over Almunia for a glimmer of hope at 4-2 after some unaware defending by Arsenal in the 77th minute. Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor were then replaced by Johan Djourou and Carlos Vela respectively.

    Soon, it was into injury time and a fresh Gunner would enjoy a memorable fortune. Aaron Ramsey who had replaced the hardworking Abou Diaby precisely stroke from about 18 yards out to conclude a emphatic night.

  696. franchise Says:

    QoS u right we should stop moaning and start to celebrate. It was deeply worrying to see how we were sliced open at will even with a five man midfield

  697. avenell Says:

    If Fergie had of had Arsenals budget for players or any other clubs in the Premiership over the last 20 years he would not have won half of what he has,..

  698. Evo in Oz Says:

    i will be celebrating in 2 hours time with a few heinekens at the pub. its only 10am so far, so dont want to be too blynd too early!

    ahhahahaha

  699. franchise Says:

    Goonerm theres still a lot of footie to be played this season but I can tell u for sure that arsene’s current project would be set a few years back again if we end the season empty handed. How much longer? We need to realise that that ruthlessness and personality we last had last in 2005 is missing from this current team. Scorelines dont always tell the story of the performance. If u think Wenger was so happy why did u think that he threw his water bottle on the floor when we were leading 3-1. the guy is as desperate to win something not just nething he mentioned himself that our two main targets are the league and CL. Lets wait and see. For me another season without silverware counts for mediocricity

    When you go to war ? How are we looking at this ?! If your up against an army that’s bigger stronger and richer than you, then you look for ways around it, play to your strengths and their weaknesses.

    Even if you could see a weakness, you’d have to consider the other teams strengths aswell, you focus on that you’ll get hit in other areas, we played Song at the back against them last year and most of their fans admit they were pretty lucky in the end to win and like tonight we still had a few injuries.

    Fenerbahce went for the jugular today and bled out all over the place. The more they attacked the worse they got punished because we had a five man attacking midfield.

  701. franchise Says:

    Guys lets not go there in 20 years time based on what Fergie and Arsene have achieved currently, Fergie would be regarded as the most successful manager in UK ever, Mourinho would be regarded as the man that won chelsea the back to back titles after 50 years. No one woukld care about financial details. Show me ur trophy cabinet thats what its all about

  702. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    I didn’t I thought everything was perfect, but we just went to Istanbul and scored five goals. Anybody who thought we could do that and not occasionally look like conceding needs their head examining!

    A great result, some things to improve but we stepped up tonight.

    I don’t who made the comment earlier but when we subbed JD for Theo someone said “see Arsene doesn’t know”.

    To that, I say, FIVE – TWO away from home.

  703. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    *I didn’t say.

  704. franchise Says:

    U must be joking Fenerbache were woeful tonight…. They couldnt even spot a blood vessel

  705. Keyser Says:

    Franchise – and yet Mourinho got kicked out because he couldn’t do what Abromovich wanted however hundreds of million he gave him, while Wenger’s still in charge and going strong, we didn’t suddenly lose that ruthlessness or personality we just have to be even more ruthless this time around, we didn’t drop our game the game got harder.

    Your in the here and now, and Mourinho still moans that Wenger gets more recognition then him, why are you thinking about 20 years from now, enjoy the moment.

  706. Queen of Suburbia Says:

    So everytime we win, its because the opponents were awful?

  707. Evo in Oz Says:

    QOS – agreeed. i thought we might get a draw. we could have scored at least 2 more…

  708. avenell Says:

    Not me moaning tonight QoS, I’m defending our beloved team :)

  709. franchise Says:

    You didn’t seem to get my point Keyser. If u keep using the excuse that Mancs or Chelsea spend more than us bla bla bla the history books wont say that in a few years…. I am very impressed with the result tonight I am enjoying the mooment but I’ve seen this already thrice this season where we follow a rout in Europe with a woeful performance domestically. U know why? Think about it

  710. Keyser Says:

    It’s a reason not an excuse, so what if the history books won’t say that, in a few years time we could spend the same as them all and win the lot, or the FA could apply a slary cap and send them all bankrupt.

    There could be loads of reasons, which one do you think it is ?!

  711. avenell Says:

    The point is if we had of spent like Fergie… Arsenal would be BANKRUPT years ago with no trophies like Leeds we never had MAN U’s income..

  712. franchise Says:

    Evo why did u think we would get a draw? Wasn’t it because of the media reiterating continously about how intimidating it was to play at fener’s ground? From what u saw tinight would u have been happy with a draw?

  713. franchise Says:

    Its not about money guys. Arsene has showed that he can it is possible to compete for honours without spending billions but until u agree whether as a result of injuries or not that Alex Song after 40 appearances is not good enough to start as a CB after what he’s shown then we would keep moaning on blogs here and there. Do u think we won the title in 2005, 2002 or 1998 by luck?

  714. franchise Says:

    good nite guys

  715. Keyser Says:

    It’s not all about money, but you have to admit that a great big gigantic reason that we have not won the title since 04′ is down to the amount of money Chelsea were able invest in their squads in the following seasons.

    He’s played games here and there, how many of those are starts ? How many are at CB ?! He isn’t even first choice there or second. He sits in front of the defence for Cameroon and looks good doing so, without giving him a proper run we won’t know either way.

  716. avenell Says:

    Don’t you remember Grimandi, Stephanos, Vivas and all the other players that was in those squads.. We were never able to buy and pay more wages for the likes of Ferdinand , Rooney, About 5 keepers until he stole Van der Sar from Fulham..

  717. franchise Says:

    if ur two first choice CB have weaknesses in the air whats the point of having a fourth one who is worse in the air and as sluggish as a 40 year old. That shows a lot of ambition

  718. avenell Says:

    How many other clubs need 4 centre halfs, Chelsea are fucked when there No1 gets injured and they have spent £550 million to get there squad..

  719. A Says:

    How is noone talking about Adebayor?! He took his goal well, and played as he usually does, but his lack of effort for the first goal was absolutely inexcusable. I’ve never seen a player just not bother to even jog back and pretend to try and mark his man, let alone one of our best headerers who’s been given the job of marking their most dangerous player! I’ve literally never seen anything like it before, it was incredible. I’ve never been so furious with an arsenal player watching a match as I was tonight, I’ve never seen a player not give a shit like he did!! Absolutely incredible

  720. Evo in Oz Says:

    franchise – not sure what you are saying, i just felt that playing away in Europe in the CL is always tough, no matter who you play. everyone says you just win your home games and if you draw away your doing well.

    not much rocket science in that?

  721. madonna Says:

    evo, you know what rockets are shaped like.

  722. eltel08 Says:

    Hi Evo

    I think the win at home draw away method has been overtaken these days by the win as many as possible and maybe lose a few of today.

    I am not a mathematician but I bet the numbers end up similar if you win many and lose a few rather than win a lot and draw a lot.

    There were some cunts on the radio trying to discredit the invincibles last season by saying the Chavs and Mancscum won more games in their title winning seasons.

    I just hope the Chavs and Mancscum lose at least one game every season as I want the unbeatables season to never be seen again in my lifetime.

  723. eltel08 Says:

    I am very happy with the result last night but because I have always seen Arsenal with a great defence I get upset when we concede so many goals.

    I admit I think Almunia is a fool and Wenger is still looking for a keeper if rumours are to be believed. I hope so.

    I can take the flak from those who want to have a dig as I am supremely confident that Manuel will not let me down.

    We have a fantastic side here but he escapes criticism for our defensive weaknesses all the time. He is no better than the great Paul Robinson and we all know how good he is.

    I do have answers as to his replacement but they would be criticised for their few mistakes that they make.

    Lets hope one of them makes mistakes against us this Sunday.

  724. eltel08 Says:

    By the way, if anyone gets to read the night shifts comments what about some credit for Eboue tonight, he played well and was awesome combining with Sir Alf for the 5th goal.

    Well done the pass master and well done Song too.

  725. eltel08 Says:

    Agreed about Ade apart from the goal and a 20 minute spell he was completely shit yet Arsen kept him on till almost the end. Bendy and Vela should have been unleashed with 30 mins left and JD should have replaced Dennilson not Diaby.

    Diaby was tired and could have still eased up with JD covering the defence as he would have used skill to keep the ball.

    Champs League final saw the same mistake with Bobby taken off and a tired Cesc. Yet Cesc was one of the players who kept the ball.

    As the great Cloughie said. “You can’t lose if you have the ball”

  726. Evo in Oz Says:

    yeah good game for eboue

  727. Evo in Oz Says:

    well lads in need to get down to the pub to celebrate cause ive had my lunch and its 1pm – so Heinekens here we come!

    Great result and i love the Arsenal and i love you all!
