That by the way was a song in the Jimmy Cagney film, the Roaring Twenty’s. It has to be you- ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. And I loved Jimmy Cagney.
Tony Adams has said that, ‘I think Martin is feeling that sitting on the sofa at Match of the Day and Football Focus is the way forward’ Ooh that’s a bit bitchy! So if that’s the case then it means he won’t be joining us unless it’s as a part time defensive coach.
If that’s the case then what will happen with our woeful defence? Coming up to the big game this Saturday I’d like to think he plays his best options in there and that has to be Djourou and Gallas.
Why the boss is so ridiculously stubborn when it comes to Johan versus Song is beyond me, even a blind man who is president of the Alex Song fan club can see who is the better option.
We’ve never conceded when Djourou has played and against Fernabache he looked like he’s been there all season.
Wenger’s belligerence is beyond me, stubborn can be an admirable trait but stupidity isn’t. It’s a stupid trait. Play Johan in there and at least the rest of the team and 56,000 fans at the Grove will feel a tad more comfortable.
What to do with the midfield, me; if fit, I would go with Nasri Cesc Ramsey Theo and put Vela up top with Bendtner or Diaby up top Vela and use Bendtner as an impact sub.
I suspect Diaby will make up a five man midfield and he’ll play him in the hole. I would like to see Jack Wilshere get 20 minutes, he could be to us what Rooney was to Everton that fateful day when we lost our unbeaten record to the young Shrek like creature.
We are light on the ground with forwards so that’s a poke in the eye for all those who said in the summer, we don’t need to buy another forward, that includes me! It shows you how many players you need in a squad that’s in the Champions league these days.
Have a great day Grovers, tomorrow is the decider, well for us anyway.
Le Grove is now smart phone compatible!
Pedro
Geoff
yo yo yo
morning ha ha
2nd1
2nd or 3rd
5th then
DAMN IT THIRD!!!!!!! BUT IM ON THE PODIUM!
nearly wrighty lol
bronze yes?
thats the highest ive ever been,i voted for dj
Morning Geoff/Pedro and Le Grovers!
Good post, Adams is losing the plot in his old age. What a bitch!
Perhaps Keown is waiting for an offer to join the Arsenal coaching staff? I’d like it!
Djourou deserves a run in the team now, he has shown he is capable and should miles ahead in the pecking order over Song!
maybe not…….oh well……..we seriously haven’t conceded with JD20 in the side?
Nice post, and I voted for JD. However, I think if he doesnt play him at CB then why not try him as the DM, he is good on the ball and can just sit in front of the defence without running around. He can win all the headers and fill the gap between defence and midfield
Nearly is NOT good enough though no1Goon!
LOL
That was a bitchy comment by TA06 about Keown, but then apparently those two never got on.
I’d like to see the man monster(Kewon) with us training our brittle defence – but then Wenger will probably just bring in another midfiled dribbling coach anyway..
and while we are talking about belligerence; when will theos contract be sorted out? i saw pat rice on a BA flight from Malaga to London (in early september) and he was in economy…. make of that what you will
Tomorrow’s game has so much significance in terms of staying in touch with the top of the table and regaining some much needed confidence. Personally, I don’t think it’s season changing game as I still feel that this season will be one of a collection of good results with a smattering of bad ones and a fair share of good and indifferent performances (as it has been to date). We still won’t be able to gauge whether this team is improving or we should treat last year as a fluke.
Interesting article in the Times this morning by Tony Cascarino. Not someone I usually agree with but today his commentary was spot on.
Morning,re the post,I would play diaby behind Bedtner or alongside him.diaby is offensive and gets stuck in,and he needs to be more in the middle of the park not on the wing.
With the players Wenger has at his disposal, its shouldnt be hard for him to pick the right side.
No fucking about tomorrow. The players MUST play for the shirts.
If we pussy around & get well done then the season is all but over.
The pressure is now seriously on Arsene, start turning it around, NOW.
i think theo has to be a striker ..
i would do something totally unexpected and go vela – theo for strikers
it will either work a treat or fail miserably ..
but i dont think bendtner can get any better with only 2 days since his last outing ..
charybdis1966
did you see my link on yesterdays post ?
aimed at you ?
Sky Sports News is the most Arsenal hating news syndicate in this country. Last season whenever they would talk about Fabregas they would show a clip of him training like they do with every1 else right? Only difference is out of all that film they got of him training they would show his face almost been kicked in by Diaby (obviously in an accidental clash). They would say ‘’Is Adebayor on his way out of Arsenal’’and of course just like every1 else they would show a goal that the player has scored and out of all the goals he has scored they show the handball goal against Man U (PL away) but when they say ‘’is Ronaldo on his way 2 Madrid’ they would show his free-kick goal against Portsmouth (his best goal). Than when talking about Eduardo they would say ‘’good news for Arsenal fans Eduardo could be back by November’’ and instead of showing us 1 of his goals they would show the Eduardo reaction 2 his leg break which reminds Arsenal fans of the trauma fans went through. Why say good news and remind us about the bad news?
Today watch SSN and watch the Avram Grant interview when Grant is talking about Arsenal defenders and the Manager they show Gallas mumbling 2 himself (after the Spurs game), Silvestre walking off with a bloody nose and Arsene Wenger looking distressed. When AG is talking about Man U defenders and the Manager they show Ferdinand in a focused light, Vidic organizing the defenders and SAF comforting Nani. For futher proof read the Adebayor interview on SSN you’ll notice the amount of spin they put on it.
These people are sick they have unending hatred for all things red and white, the producer needs 2 be shot dead along with the boss.
Guys the major problem we have defensively are
1. The lack of height in our defence
2. the full backs pushing too high up the pitch supporting the attack and leaving gaps at the back
For me Keown isnt the solution we either go out and buy a CB in the mould of Vidic or play JD there more often. I would actually prefer if we went out and bought someone that is more experienced. Also Arsene needs to get a DM that would anchor the midfield w/o reducing its creativity which is virtually none existent anyway. Alonso would have been perfect. Blooding Coquelin with some appearances here and there misght speed up his development. Keown can only do so much with the personnel we have
morning all, good post lads…
did anyone see that ade said he wouldnt take anyone from united’s team… how could he say that and keep a straight face?
All I hope for is that we dont get embarrassed too much.A draw would be good but looks like the team’s confidence is shattered. In His wisdom, He has even broken down Fabregas and Toure!
AT almost as funny at Nicky B saying we’re still going to win the title
Geoff/Pedro, spot again like usual…
Not to bring up the past but sorry about the school girl squabbles in the last post, i seriously wasnt looking 4 conflict…
Anyhoo JD this weekend would be spot on and i dear say alot safer than Kolo, but we will see the rediculous selection he makes i.e Song next to Cesc!…
HAHA I voted for SONG hahahahahahahahaha.
We WILL win!!!
2-1.
Morning all,
This could possibly be my last blogging day as my firm are blocking sites like there’s no tomorrow….I’m getting emotional as we speak! I digress!
Sarge,
I read that article on the train this morning, and thought he was spot on as well, apart from him thinking AW will get sacked at the end of the season if he fails miserably again. I do however agree that at a push only Cesc would make the invincibles starting 11, and maybe only handful would make the squad as a whole.
On to tomorrow, I hope we wont, but I think we’ll struggle. We’re light up front and even defence is a bit short.
Considering we’re low on confidence, morale and form, I dont see us getting anymore than a draw.
If he plays the same team he started with V Stoke (minus Theo) it could be a very bad day indeed!
Trust me, Arsenal will win tomorrow.
We will have a “US AGAINST THE WORLD” attitude created from the fuss in the week.
Hello everyone!
Last yer we played 4-5-1 withe Adebayor as a striker and even with flamini we only manged to get a 2-2 draw. This time I would love to see 4-4-2 because we all know that we can’t defend and United will score. I know that many of You just don’t like Bendtner, but he can be useful. Ramsey should start, since his currently in better form than Fabregas. And You know what means to have Almunia in goal.
Fabianski
Clichy Gallas Djourou Sagna
Nasri Ramesey Toure Theo
Vela Bendtner
I really hope Tony Adams fails at Portsmouth or I can see him becoming the next manager for us. I can’t stand the man since he stopped drimking. He’s jealous of Martin Keown because Keown can actually string a sentence together.
Have you ever seen Adams as a pundit. Hugely embarassing.
Odub, yep I didn’t agree with the last part either. I wouldn’t be surprised if we did win tomorrow (like we did when we beat them at OT a couple of years ago on the back of some dodgy results). However, I still don’t think that it will have a major bearing on the rest of the season because we’re not equipped to be consistent over 38 games.
Gnarley, I see Ponting’s out to that guy he called a “obnoxious little weed”. Match wise it still looks evenly poised to me though.
Sorry for another cricket mention Geoff.
good morning all grovers
not the type of pre match report i was expecting but still a good post
a few months back every news channel in pakistan showed glomy picture…debate abt future uncertainity and bla bla bal….and it wasn’t tht much of the crisis and it created a depressing mode whenever i watched news channel..so the best way ot was i didnt watched news channels for month or two…….
i think it s best to avoid reading articles in newspaper…i visited (again) today to read news abt arsenal on telegraph and gaurdian………it was like hell!!!! i am nu tht depressed on the match yes it will a difficult game for us but watch them play this is what fans can do back up….so i appela to all those gooner who go to watch saturday match back up your team
With you on that Sarge.
Winning or losing tomorrow isnt the be all and end all, it’s the other 27 matches that we need to worry about.
I went thru most of this season predicting 4-0, 2-0 scores, and oh boy have I regreted that! I’m becoming a pessimist for the rest of the season, that way my hopes dont get dashed, and I’m pleasantly surprised for a change!
2-2 for me tomorrow.
I hope you guys are right with your predictions, I would love a win tomorrow to make me forget the woes of what has been a bad start to the season
Morning All,
Odub, I hope that you find a way round the blog issue.
We will all miss your pearls of wisdom….
Tell them Big Raddy will come round and give them a right good kickking in the crown jewels……………
Actually if we beat Man u, i can see it being a backlash on our hopes of bringing in a fresh player in the transfer window. He will use a victory over the mancs as an excuse not to purchase!
lol i like the the captions in le rosick list. Honorary member..
Morning
Odub …. Say It Ain’t So …. !!
It would be very sad if we were to lose access to your Pearls of Wisdom.
Tell the officious Bastards that Big Raddy will come and kick them in the Crown Jewels
Morning Big R,
Cheers mate.
I’ve never name dropped before, but I’ll use yours and see what effect it has!
metal gear i agree,but the worst thing that get’s me is our supporters fall for all the spin,
what they really want is all the arsenal fans to turn on arsen,im telling you now they would love it.
thats why they always come out with crap like arsenal in crisis,we need to ignore these idiots.
come on arsenal you can do it boys!
OOOps Douled up …. stupid Danish Server ….. !
And re the Cricket….
I noticed some of the Aussie bloggers giving it large about Sir Iain B.
As he so often says – you boys are quick to give it the ‘whingeing Poms’, but quicker to collapse under the ‘ it’s the wicket/the weather/the ball/the food/the pitch is doctored’ etc etc.
And the man who is the biggest whinger in cricket ? …. … Ricky ‘Mummy’s Boy Ponting.
Greetings my fellow Munglers………..
guys a bit off topic but looks like we are also battling united on a different front for some serbian wonder kid
http://www.myfootballnews.co.uk/news_jump.html?story=870395
follow the link for details
from same agent who spotted cesc and he is quite sure we ll sign the boys..
SARGE… yeah i know… makes me wonder if the players are told to say this stuff!!!
ade must have been thinking… ill take 9 of manc’s players… that leaves 2 places for me and eboue!!!
our problem defending comes from midfieid not really the CB (until corners and free-kicks, theres no protection and no one tracking the midfield runners and taking a naughty yellow when needed (jenas goal)
the kid is apparently nick named “Little KaKa”
I am a natural optomist, but a little reality check here …
What did you guys see in our performances with Stoke and Fener, to give rise to the idea that we can beat MU ? Or am I missing something ?
The problems remain, and I fear we are going to get stuffed tomorrow.
Howdy Dennis!
No1 Goon I know it’s sad how fans get sucked in that’s why I had 2 post this comment even though it had no relevance 2 the Article….People need 2 see these people 4 what they are. Arsenal 4 the 2-1 win tomorrow I can feel it hopefully Ramsey, DJ, Vela, Bendtner all get starts.
Shit, my typo’s ……………….. optimist
I’ve heard some VERY disturbing news this morning from a VERY reliable source…….
DDM…………. you tease
rookie,
another kid!!!
Why dont we just go out and get 1 or 2 players in January that can drive, and are old enough to vote?!!! Like we did with Davor Suker, wiltord, Sol or even Petit. Mid to late 20′s, experienced, and will teach our kindergaten lot a few things?!!
I’ll tell you why we wont do it…..because we wouldnt be able to sell him on for a profit! We’re only interested in players that we can sell for a profit in a few years if they decide to leave!
morning DDM, hows tricks old son
weird team that I doubt many would agree with but here goes anyway:
(assuming theo is fit)
Fabianski
Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy
Theo Ramsey Djourou(DM) Nasri
Diaby
Bendtner
but wenger will go with Almunia and his trusted old favourite midfield.
Almunia
Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy
Theo Cesc Den Nasri
Diaby
Bendtner
The spine in wengers team is WEAK. so weak you could drive a bus through it. Man u will tear us apart with that spine. Diaby will be a key player but he must play centrally.
when our backs up againest the wall,we come out firing.
honestly i can say i feel we will win tomorrow,
but lets take the last three games its been 2 draws and a defeat,hardly the end of the world.
i’ll say it again we are only 6 points behind,if we can get into gear tomorrow and pick up 3 points we have every chance of winning the league this year.
i refuse to give up on this team!
DDM get on with it!! :monster:
G’day Odub, you tell those IT muppets of yours to wind their collective necks in or it’ll be more than their credit that’ll be crunched……
ddm whats that then?
share with you fellow grover’s lol
RADDY i couldnt agree more with this…
“What did you guys see in our performances with Stoke and Fener, to give rise to the idea that we can beat MU ? Or am I missing something ?”
i dont see anything… we’ll scrape a draw if we’re lucky… 0-0 is our best chance cos i cant see us scoring
odub i think the signing of the kids will carry on as our policy of youth development and off course these signings ill not be the signings needed for this season…but our agents have been watching these kids for some time and if we can get a kid like walcott or Pato then whats wronge with that….one of the kids is already named “Little KaKa” and manures are also trying to sign him..
AT That’s the big difference this season. Only 3 clean sheets in the league says it all and you can’t put it all down to the back 4.
Rookie – just what we need. Another kid
i voted for Song just to annoy everyone
Tom………I repeat 2-1………….keep the faith……………
I just dont understand how you guys can see us winning tomorrow either.
We’ve failed to win 4 of our last 6 games. We’ve looked shit in the last 3 games, and all of a sudden we’re going to beat a team that hasnt lost in their last 7 games, and only have Wes Brown missing, while we have 5,6 players missing?!
Let’s be realistic, a draw is a good result tomorrow considering.
I voted for JD just to clarify
Mannone
G.Hoyte Nordveit Djourou (c) Gibbs
Lansbury Bischoff Frimpong Wilshere
Murphy Vela
5-0 to the kids!
All this criticism is gonna fire them up…………
how many time have we been written off?
and how many time’s have we defied the odds?
have the faith in this team,
stop looking at the negatives and look for the postives.
we can win this!
Fuck I just saw some clips of WILSON PALACIOS. He’s one helluva player. He came to Arsenal on trial. Arsene’s one of four biggest mistake is to let Palacios join Wigan. Other three are relying on youth so heavily, letting Yaya toure go and Letting Bobby Pires go.
song to score a hattrick tomorrow and be the motm for an excellent game.
jsut wondering if that happened would that change your opinion of him
Seriously, who actually voted for Song. Thats just messing like!
ATom – How’s it hanging fella???
I would say top post Geoff, but he’s on the golf course @ the moment isn’t he.
So Martin Keown is still a chance to come back & coach. If so that would be fantastic.
chipo id swap frimpong for coquelin lol
iceman…what faith?? my faith in us challenging went on the 31 august mate!! the worst thing is i was hoping id be wrong but every week we’re all being proved right by this squad!!!
Chipo, why put Lansbury wide when we all know he is great at CM for club and country!
No.1 / Metal. It has always been this way. When I was a kid, it was Boring, Boring Arsenal. You never hear that anymore, but does anyone give us credit for the way we entertain – do they fuck.
Even the Invincibles had critics.
The media is owned by MU loving bottom-feeders.
i’m starting to get my pre match panic… its like the 5 stages of grief!
i voted for song to piss you off!
and are we really going back to bloody Coquelin again?! i thought we got that out the system yesterday!
Raddy and Odub. You can’t apply logic to the situation. We’ve been defying logic all season so far. It would be typical of Arsenal to pull a result out of the bag tomorrow only to go and muck it up against Villa
My team for tomoz,
Almunia
Sagna JD Gallas/Toure Clichy
Denilson/Song
Nasri Fab Diaby Vela
Bendtner
Well I don’t think we can win it although I have a gut feeling that we can nick a draw as we never lose to MAn U at home ussually.
serge it is not like arsene has asked for those kids…these are the kids clubs want to bring for the youth teams… i m not saying that these kids will be there for first team for that problem i would like arsene to bring in some one experienced like all you people…but club cannot sit and let a chance to sign a future star just slip away…after all Ronaldo was also just 18 when we were trying to sign him but manures won that fight.
losing tomorrow is one thing but if the players dont try then im defo going looking for a fight with some scuts!
Well Tom….(fingers, toes everything crossed) You’re gonna be proven wrong tomorrow.
big raddy you couldnt be anymore right mate.
they love to lick the mancs arse.
iceman… they have no fire!!!
after fulham they we’re gonna come back…
after hull they were gonna come back
after sunderland they were gonna come back
after spurs they were gonna come back
after stoke they were gonna come back…
lets face the facts… this team and squad is simply not good enough… how are they gonna step their game up to man utd’s level when we cant beat any of the above teams!!
Rookie the problem is there’s too much focus on the Arsenal of tomorrow and not enough on the Arsenal of now.
Sorry Sarge, but Logic is all I have !!!
FFS DDM – get on with it !!!!!
Christ, I am getting Ethanesque with all these exclamation marks !!!!!
Gentlemen, as i said i have been reliably informed that there is actually NO money for AW to spend and there never has been. He has wanted desperately to strengthen this squad, but has been blocked. Behind the scenes he is livid, especially as certain board members have come out in public to say that there is money. Any moneys listed in accounts is either earmarked for other things or is actually some sort of a guarantee against ‘the’ debt!! So, you can forget January signings, completely and totally.
Make no mistake AW is at his lowest ebb with regards to the board, on top of which contact has apparently been made between him and MCFC, who have made a HUGE offer for his services!!!!
We will win tomorrow because that is what Arsenal are like. I’d far rather go into this game with the mindset of being underdog than the other way round.
I knew the mancs would end the 49 game unbeaten run, because their desire added to our fear of losing gave them the upper hand. There is a time when fear ceases and guts and determination take over – for that reason we will battle, we will work our socks off, for once a keeper won’t have the game of his life against us and we will take our half chances.
Chary
Ian Botham can go choke on a ham sandwich as far as I’m concerned. When you are getting whiped 5-0 in a series ofcourse you have to admit you aren’t up to it.
Anyway, no more cricket, the fool isn’t worth it anyway.
I know what you mean Raddy and that’s how I used to look at it but ever since the bizarre goings on in pre-season I threw it away and chucked my lot in with fate and a little bit of hope
i agree with you serge but after watching this video i would like to see him play for arsenal some time in future…hope we sign him lols so that arsene don’t regret again and say some thing like he says about ronaldo “we were very close to signing him” lols
watch this video
ATom,
Mate I wouldnt have a problem with them losing and going down fighting.
But if they lose woefully with a lack of effort, and stroll around like it’s a trainning session and dont look like they give a rat’s ass (I’m looking at you Alex Song), then trust me even some die hards will start thinking twice about backing them!
The five stages of (footballing) grief are:
1-Denial-”this can’t be happening to me”, looking for the defeated team in familiar places, or if it is death, setting the table for the team or acting as if they are still winning. No crying. Not accepting or even acknowledging the loss.
2-Anger-”why me?”, feelings of wanting to fight back or get even with club and manager, for losses, anger at the club’s handling, blaming them for everything.
3-Bargaining-bargaining often takes place before the loss. Attempting to make deals with the club who is losing, or attempting to make deals with God to stop or change the loss. Begging, wishing, praying for them to get back to winning ways.
4-Depression-overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, frustration, bitterness, self pity, mourning demise of club as well as the hopes, dreams and plans for the future. Feeling lack of control, feeling numb. Perhaps feeling suicidal.
5-Acceptance-there is a difference between resignation and acceptance. You have to accept the loss, not just try to bear it quietly. Realisation that it takes more than one person to make or break a team. Realisation that although the club is gone, it is not their fault; they didn’t lose on purpose. (Even in cases of footballing suicide, often the deceased club was not in their right frame of mind) Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. Stay with fond memories of the club.
Get help. You will survive. You will heal, even if you cannot believe that now, just know that it is true. To feel pain after loss is normal. It proves that we are alive, human. But we can’t stop living. We have to become stronger, while not shutting off our feelings for the hope of one day being healed and finding love and/or happiness again with a different club. Helping others through something we have experienced is a wonderful way to facilitate our healing and bring good out of something tragic.
ddm that is very intresting.
arsen wouldnt leave us for city would he?
also that explains why we didnt up the offer for alonso,
ive always thought the board were chatting crap about money.
wenger has to much pride to come out againest the board.
Erm….people Ade did not say that. It was put 2 him like this ‘’Adebayor who in the Man U side would U like 2 see at Arsenal’’ Adebayor said he’s happy with the squad. So SSN have spun it and said Adebayor has even gone as far as suggesting none of the Man U players could get into the Arsenal team.
My fellow gooners don’t get sucked in…..whenever U read or hear something that does not seem 2 make sense or seems outrageous don’t take it 4 gospel because it’s usually spin. I know its difficult not 2 fall 4 it as I’ve fell for it a couple of times but you’ve got 2 be cynical when U read something that just does not seem plausible.
Chipo…..
You’ve lost it!
iceman… nothing would make he happier than beating that cock fregie… especially with this lot!!!
did you hear they are putting extra security around fegie red nose?
but what about wenger when he goes there?
do they do anything to sort it out when wenger gets personally abused?
reportedly sergio busquets have rejected new contract at Barca…will be available on a free at the end of the season if he does nt renew..Arsenal are linked
Dennisdamenace reliably informed? Please elaborate.
GG9
I point you to my comment of 10.00
Chipo, That was a beautiful piece of writing. Where did it come from?
hot pizza, cold drinks, chocolate bars…..
hot pies, cold beers, chocolate bars….
how is everyone?
im not as confident as usual? i must say, anytime we play the scum, scum or the scum, i always expect to win, but tomorrow, im not so sure?
chozzer u fuking mornon your clearly not a real arsenal fan adams is a hero and a legend at the club how can u hope for some1 who has been such an amazing servant 2 the club 2 fail. he would be a great manager for us in the future im sure he wouldnt have alowed us to go out in the second half against stoke and played as badly as we did he would be a great aqusition for the club in the future
No.1 – Why not fella? What’s so special about a club whose board lies openly, dropping it’s own manager in the shite, while they end up looking like the good guys? AW’s been taking all their flak, and he’s too much of a gentleman to slate them or disagree with them in public. No don’t get me wrong i was one of the ones who was getting seriously fucked off with his tight fisted youth policy bollox, but after hearing this i think my anger has been misdirected.
DDM if that is true then I guess it’s only professional pride keeping Wenger here. Not sure I’d wanna do a job with both hands tied behind my back. I was never keen on that twunt Fiszman.
The policing at the Emirates is diabolical.
The arse fans had to go through fener fans to get to their gate on wednesday. Last year in the CC against the spuds, their fans were let loose amongst the arsenal fans when the police cordon line just ran out and they started kicking and punching whoever they could get to. I approached the most senior officer I could find and he just said that they had lost control of the situation.
I am sure someone will tell me what the cost of the policing is to the club. Since the ground is an oval, the away fans should be kept behind until they can be shepherded away safely without confrontation.
“Bendtner as an impact sub.”That says all i need to know about nik.b….
i adapted it to football from a piece on grief. it seemed fairly similar to what we have all been experiencing lately
josh1
is there any reason to call a fellow gooner a fucking moron?!!
Less of that please mate.
who the f*ck is chozzer?
i dont see any comments from that name>?
Metal – I can’t fella, it’s more than my life’s worth. The only thing i can say is that it is from within the club at a high level……..
chozzer chozzer who the fuk is chozzer
hes the muppet that said he hopes tony adams fails as manger at pompy so he wont become our manager in future
Odub and anyone else do you want some jokes(I don’t mean the Arsenal)
Chipo. Where did you get the grief piece? It could help with my work.
Josh must be an arseblogger, who posted on the wrong site …..
Kelsey always mate!
Metal i wasnt sucked in but i just think ade has to be thinking ‘id love all of em’ but of course he’s gonna say he’s happy… how can any person not want players like ronaldo or vidic in their team?
odub… i agree… if they show passion and run their bolocks off but simply get out played/classed then fair enough we arent good enough but if they strole round and dont track etc then we’ll deserve to loose and rightly so… 100% effort is all that we want
i concur josh1…TA06 is an arsenal legend!!
Yes please Kelsey.
I could use cheering up ……..
just whack “5 stages of grief” into google..
Stu- i would have put lansbury in the middle, but i cant drop bischoff can I?!!?!?
and if he can prove himself as a manager at pompey why shouldn’t he get a shot at the hotseat at the Emirates. everyone know’s he bleeds for the club…how many others do, many of the current squad should have a lok at themselves in comparison to him and wonder why when things are going wrong fans get on their back instead of supporting them.
i hope tony adams succeeds as pompey manager so that we can send talented youngsters for premier league Experience like traore…lols… did anyone see him play on left wing???? the guy has shown great potential going forward he can dribble, cross and has step overs way better than eboue..lols
ddm – maybe your revelation explains why AW hasn’t bought the players we have been craving, but it doesn’t explain why he:
Plays players out of position
Picks certain players who are clearly not good enough when there are far better players in the squad
Makes illogical and poorly timed substitutions
Refuses to drop players who underperform time and again
Makes statements that are either confused or just plain lies
ddm
if what you say is true, we have wronged Arsene terribly. I can only admire the man for taking the criticism on the chin without once letting out the real story behind his inability to bring in mature players. Any other manager would have been all over the press long ago.
And I can tell you this, if Arsene leave for for MCFC we will only have ourselves to blame and we will have to hunt out someone decent to take charge of the club in the middle of our most challenging season ( a certain Juande… maybe ?
). AS for top 4 spots, you can forget them and MCFC will get there in season 1.
I am not happy with our inconsistency but I definitely would not want Arsene to pack up in mid-season.
It’s F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Fecking Friday………….
Paddy buys a bath and takes it back the next day complaining the water keeps running out!!
The shop manager says “did you buy a plug?”
Paddy replies “you wanker, you never said it was electric!!”
if i was arsen i would openly say arsenal have no money and put the ball back in the boards court.
because the more wenger lie’s for them,
the worse the relationship become’s with the fans.
i say to wenger,come out and tell it as it is.
if they just said that we have no money at the moment,
i think the fans would understand and there wouldnt be so much pressure on the team.
big raddy pipe down mate
Dennis lols
I have a joke
this from Sky Sports
“Adebayor remains a model of optimism and has even gone as far as to suggest none of United’s players would make Arsene Wenger’s first team”
yeah, him and Eboue would keep Rooney and Ronaldo on the bench for sure!

Rasputin,
you raise some very valid points.
A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, ‘I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.
‘Dad, what are you talking about?’ the son screams.
‘We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,’ the father says. ‘We’re sick of each other, and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.’
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. ‘Like hell
they’re getting divorced,’ she shouts, ‘I’ll take care of this,’
She calls Scotland immediately, and screams at her father, ‘You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?’ and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
‘Okay love,’ he says, ‘they’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own way.’
Pascal I don’t think Wenger would jump ship mid stream unless his relationship with the board deteriorates to the point of no return. He has great integrity.
Rasputin some good points there mate.
Can you spare just £2?
Zaani is a 9 year old boy living in Namibia. He has only one arm and one leg. Each day he rides seven miles to school along roads with craters from land mines, on a bicycle with bent wheels, no brakes and only 1 pedal.
If you send us just £2 we will send you the video, it’s fucking hilarious!!
Easy Josh.
I object to anyone calling a fellow gooner a cunt. If someone called you one, I would object as well.
It is a matter of principle. We are all Gooners, and just because you don’t agree with someone, it does not make them wrong, stupid or cunts.

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’
Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime Minister.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night,! he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy.
So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and see s his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say’s to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. ‘
The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’
The little boy replies, ‘The prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.
Utd players that would get in the Arsenal team- Ferdinand, Vidic, Carrick, Anderson, Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov.
Arsenal players that would get in the Utd team- Sagna, Cesc, Walcott. (clichy would get into any other team in the prem, but Evra is the other best LB in the country IMO)
I remember doing that comparison 2 years ago and it was about 7 arsenal players to utds 3.
Fairly depressing.
Am i being unfair??
kelsey that last one was bloody brilliant!!
chipo i would say that carik wouldnt warrant a place or anderson but mayb hargreves? and i cant really see walcott atm making the united team. ferdinand is also prone 2 a mistake so nt much better than wat we have. i also think clichy would make the utd first team over evra.
Arsenal Tom I know It pains me 2 say but Ferdinand, Vidic, Berbatov( who wenger could have signed before he went 2 spurz) and Ronaldo who Wenger could have signed had he dug into his pocket.
Tom the funny thing is if Ade was at Man U he would be on the bench as an impact sub.
Metal Gear – if you look back over some of my previous posts I’ve been saying exactly that. Nearly all of the media – and especially SSN – are so far up the Manskummers sphincters they have long lost any objectivity when it comes to balanced even reporting on Arsenal.
I’ve repeatedly said all hacks are not under any duty to onform accurately – only to sell stories to the manskummers loving majority.
To echo you(and in an Ethan-esque way) I say – dont fall for the BS !! It’s bollox put out by mindless hacks !! Sod off “Sir” Alex Funguscum !!

Kelsey, absolutely priceless. Been laughing out loud and sharing a few with the blokes in the office. Gone down very well
Are you saying you would rather have denilson alongside Fabregas than Carrick or Anderson?!
Thanks lads,smiling and laughing is the best medicine in the world.
keeps me young as i am most probably one of the oldest on here
I have a distinct feeling that this is Wenger’s last season whatever we achieve.
Playing theo is not such a bad idea,remember at brum when long john got injured,but i doubt the boss will do it.
I meant theo through the middle.

He says “fuck me it’s started”……..
yep the joke was gold
Kelsey and DDM, top jokes chaps!!
Kelsey the paddy jokes were tops!
DDM, joint account!! classic!
no im saying that i would rather have hargreves than either of them
red card kelsey!
History was made in America earlier in the week when Barrack Obama broke a long tradition and became the first blackman to enter the white house without a mop!
Denis that was funny!
Owen Hargreaves? The Tomas Rosicknote of the Man Utd team? That one?
hargreaves is a wreck tho… anderson is a machine and carricks far better than song or denilson
Yes Chris – the one that got away from ole 65% proof nose comes back to bite him. That would be priceless.
bang on Tom- why did we sign denilson when we couldve signed Anderson! Im sure they played in the same brazil youth teams- sack the scouts!
Gentlemen, Guts or Balls???
There is a medical distinction between the two. We’ve all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them?
In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below;
GUTS – Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys, being met at the door by your wife with a broom in her hand, and having the guts to ask “are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?”
BALLS – Is coming home late after a night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, with lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the arse and having the balls to say “you’re next fatty!”
Back from Obama Holiday and would like Wenger to go for a 4-5-1 system
Almunia
Sagna Djourou Gallas Clichy
Nasri Cesc Ramsey Walcot
Good post but I’m with Big Raddy. There’s a chance we could get away with a draw but despite me being an optimist also I feel our defence will be a sieve under that attack. Hopefully JD will help keep them out and I’d favour Sylvestre as his partner tomorrow.
I like your front line though and stated as much last week. Hope Nasri gets up for this one and that Ade/Diaby get some time.
yh the sme 1 who was one of the best playes at the 2006 world cup the one whio is ahead of carik for england choice u no the guy
Diaby and Bendtner should complete the strike force
Kelsey
Do you know what, I am fed up with people like you posting Irish jokes making out we are all thick. What makes it worse is I laughed my tits off at them
im just saying there arent many people i would swap for a player with a long term injury (apart from maybe Rosicky lol)
CHIPO… or carrick the year vieira left… spurs signed him 2.5 mil and sold him for 18!!!!
i know- Wenger really missed the boat on the West Ham clearout.. We could have had ferdinand, carrick, joe cole, lampard…
if they had held on to that squad they wouldve had some fucking team
i’m also going for a draw patrick 7. i know i’m clutching at straws but i think the pride will keep us in. anyway, a draw will be like a win anyway in the currect scenario
obviously i hate them now, but they could have been gooners (and english gooners at that!) if Wenger had pulled his finger out!
Chipo surely thats the reason though, they are English. We would kill to have Joe Cole and Lamps in our team now.
i wish i woke up drunk on sunday morning and we had won 1-nil
to be fair to wenger, at the time we had a midfield of Pires, Fabregas, Vieira/Gilberto, Ljungberg…. not bad! but they were young enough to be squad players for a year or so
i dont think it was cos they were english, it was cos we had a good squad (and we didnt lose a game the season after, so i guess it was a good move
)
Didnt we have carricks signature when vieira was on one of his im off to madrid spins but only for vieira to stay put.
would’nt it be a bit exciting to see a teamsheet with;
fabianski
sagne(toure)-JD-gallas-clichy
ramsey
cesc diaby
walcott vela
bendtner
or more like a 4-3-3 maybe? with that much pace on the wings, united’s backs would’nt be going all-out forward, and it might even push their wings at little more on defense…
i think wenger earmarked him as a replacement… he even said it in public… along with jenas strangely!! but it never happened
fuck carrick, as if we would want him?
evo… id take him… he’d do a better job than whta he got right now
I would havae thought carrick is just who we could do with now.
wenger feels especially protective of our current team, as this is the first crop of players that he has nurtured from day one. apparently the first team academy graduates are the first to be totally managed by Wenger- i.e. they were brought in at 10yrs old, and have been moulded to suit the arsenal way.
it’s the experiment he’s been working on for the past 12 years!
great article,arsen hater’s should take note
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/feelfootball/article/3503/
Chris/Travelling gunner I usually post jokes on a friday,and i did ask first.There was no offence meant,and if I did offend anyone Irish I apologise.
Actually,I am concerned about tomorrow,as I see it as a catch 22 situation.
If we win it keeps us in the title race but will it bring consistency which we are seriously lacking.
if we draw,considering the players available we will take it as a point gained
if we lose the media and others will have a field day with “I told you so that they are a weak squad with no backbone and a manager who has lost the plot.
St.Peter at the Pearly Gates checking people in. “Who are you, and what did you do on earth?”

Obama says “About six hours ago!”
nah he is poo. id take ramsey or whilshere over him anyday
arsen haters should take note,great article
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/feelfootball/article/3503/
yep. looks like you are in the minority here Evo!
by the way where are pedro & geoff— disgrAceful behaviour
sorry i didnt ask if its ok to post links?
i don’t think anyone on here is an ‘arsene hater’ ?
happy to be Chipo – he is poo. get him away from me
id take hargraeves before i took carrick… you guys have the blinkers on
lol ok you and josh1 in your little club. taking a player who is out for 6months over carrick is a cracking decision
Just handed in my notice at the Helium Ballon factory……..I’m not being spoken to like that!!!!
yeah but there are people who would like to see him gone,
i just dont want arsen to leave us!
A draw is no good for Arsenal or Man U.
we will go all out for the win.
Coguelin for Captain!
oh christ he’s back
SUCK MY COQUELIN
u are smoking hash flat out if you thinks a spurs reject can hack it in our side, are you absolutely for real?
We will definately win tomorrow, i have a good and strong feeling that this will happen. We will bounce back in the game that is the best game (and opponents) to bounce back against.
Once we win tomorrow, good things will happen to the team and the manager.
Come on Arsenal!!!!
2-0
Mark my words!!!
Ahhh….come on Chipo…show me some love on a friday my fellow Gunner!
great optimism, fire up old son!
You love it!
i wouldn’t call selling a player to man u for £18m a reject…
Evo
I’d take Carrick over Song, Denilson and Eboue playing next 2 Cesc ANYDAY!
I’d even overlook his spudism and manciness
ive got love for all grovers!
but will someone please make time go a little faster please, its not even midday yet ffs!
come on chipo, even the socceroos can beat the poms these days, you need to fire up old son. 18 mil, even joey barton would be worth that if you wanted to buy him? come on, pull the other one….
evo… i would take a fit hargreaves over carrick aswell but the bloke has spent his whole time doing a rosicky impression since they signed him!!
I hate to admit it but Carrick isnt that bad. He is a good passer.
Evo should in case u are not aware arsenal tried to sign cesc but when viera chose to stay he pulled the plug on the deal. That was in 2004/05
Wenger was one of the people who wanted us to have a new stadium, and the new stadium has cost us our ability to buy players.
So how can he moan we have no money it’s what he wanted too, and I think if the board backs him and the board tells the truth he will stay.
How come we cannot borrow a few quid now because borrowing is going to be as cheap as chips now after interest rates have come down and should reduce further in the next 6 months?
Sorry Carrick i meant not Cesc
sorry odub, you and i always agree, but on this one i need to be offside. not my flavour of the month. id take ashley young or gareth barry before him
Wenger cant say anything about the stadium costing us our ability to but players. The gate revenue alone is at least 70m a year. £3m per home game.
Arsene was reported to have tried to sign Carrick from West Ham
carrick is useless.
what a waste of money,i would rather have hargreaves and thats saying something.
carrick has been a flop when you look at the price tag.
arse tom -agreed – good player, out of luck in the fitness stakes recently
Flop???? His arrival at United have seen them win the league back to back and the champions league
yeah but he wasnt a big part of that,he’s just a squad player.
nothing more,nothing less!
Franchise – “Arsenal tried to sign Cesc” in 2004/05 ? I’m confused.
Ashley Young really annoys me but i’ld be happy to spend £20m on him any day.
franchise – i think fergie would take offence to that bro…surely 1 player doesn’t win the league and if it did it would surely be ronaldae?
If we’re playing Fantasy Football, then there’s only one EPL player i’d like to see play in CM with Fab4, and that’s Essien……..fuck Carrick the Manc Chav!
he meant carrick charyb
good at least there are sme fans with sme braing hargreaves is 5times the player carrik is all cariik can do is a long ball we dnt need that we have all the passers in the world we need a ball winner which he is not
charybdis1996 – equally confused over here mate!
Oh I see Choy.
avenell , he’s never moaned about money, NEVER. He has quietly done what he could with what he had.
The new stadium is going to save this club. If we were at Highbury we would have been lickin Usmanov’s ass for the money and you know where that would have ended up.
Every club with a sugar daddy or whos deep in unhealthy debt ( ie no repayment visibility) is going to get hit at some time. Today it’s Westham, tomorrow ManU, one day Chelsea. When that happens, Arsenal will still be flying.
Despite our relative inactivity in the transfer market lately, i find it hard to believe that Wenger has no funds available. He WILL/MUST/NEEDS to buy in January, full fecking stop!!!
I’d even take Joey Barton (apart from the fact that he’s a fucking low life sewer dwelling street rat)
He played over 80% of those games most as starters. You guys are just being biased
i still dont see – i had replaced carrick and i still dont see?
Franchise – its not biased, its just a preference mate.
If Hargreaves was fit and not so injury prone id take him b4 Carrick. Carrick is to much like Cesc.
Stu.. We may take £3million pounds from every home game, but we have to pay monies out of that it’s turnover not profit..
The fact is the stadium has cost £400 million pounds to build and relocate other buisnesses etc and we are paying loans for the money. Only some of it is on a fixed rate and the rest is dependent on Highbury square being sold off.
Odub – Not a fan of liddle Joey then????
No 1 Goon – that was a good article. Very few on this site want Arsene’s head but we do want some change: a defensive coach added, maybe Pat Rice replaced, somebody who will give an independant view to AW BUT definitely somebody to take some weight off his shoulders and bring in a couple of STARS with some leadership!!!
Rob from Aus…too much like Cesc??? Bro, the guy is not fit to LICK Cesc’s boots, let alone clean them. Lay off such wildly obscene comparisons!!
wow i really opened a can of worms with carrick didnt i?!
hahaha…no harm intended chipo, just a good debate mate….
Song is shit. So when u say a player like Carrick is shit then its hard to understand what exactly u mean Evo
and josh1, you cannot possibly be happy to have found someone else with ‘brains’ when your comment reads like this!
“good at least there are sme fans with sme braing hargreaves is 5times the player carrik is all cariik can do is a long ball we dnt need that we have all the passers in the world we need a ball winner which he is not”
canacanacanacana
Im not complaining Evo- i love a mass debate!
cana cana cana cana cana chameleeeeeonnnn, we want you soooo, we want you sooooooooo
Pascal. It was a comment in reply to a post started by DDM, that Arsene was frustrated about having no money, and someone else said he should moan about it.
Top debate chaps!!
Even without Geoff and Pedro to moderate (where the fcuk are those layabouts?!!) we still managed it without any name calling!
Still, if I had a choice of any DM in the world to help out just for this season (on loan) I’d go for Gattuso!
And on that bombshell…..
The fact is, i’ld rather have stayed at Highbury than move to a big stadium and buy nobody. My main complaint about the new sadium is the distance from the pitch. Its way too far.
replace ‘want’ with ‘need’ methinks!!
Franchise – i just dont prefer him mate, id prefer to stick with what we have. i like song when he is played in position, carrick is just another bloke off the production line. we might as well get bentley back….
Chipo – we’re all mass debaters here.
I’m with whoever said Essien.
If arsenal could have one player in the whole premier league i would pick him (Vidic a close second)
chipo mate ur tryn 2 question my inteligence coz i dnt type full words or sentences on a blog comment?? childish much? i feel that u r trying 2 take out ur sadness on the fact u have been out numbered by ataking my typing not really a strong argument in my eyes its wat i says not hows its spelt maybe u shud shut up and get on with ur job insted of trying 2 argue with 17 year olds and how they type if you have a job that is
chipo’s off on one again!
cana believe it!
the system gone down at work,im at shit street now
are you calling me a wanker!?!?
Odub you missed all my puns yesterday!
MarVeloso
Open up a Cana whoopasss
etc etc
ddm , with you on essien… how did we miss him, I dunno. what a beast ! and i still haven’t recovered from the goal he scored last season from the halfway line
thats wat i thought chipo keep it quiet over there
Grovers,
I have an important announcement to make……..
On this very date, 7th November, exactly 26 years to the day my mother gave birth to me……………
I’m now 26 and wishing I was 21 again!
I’d be taking myself in hand if I did that Chipo.
hahahha….happy bday wrighty
we missed Essien by about £24 mill….
Chipo…you firestarter!!
Chipo – That was me fella!
Stu. We couldn’t stay at Higbury, we could never ever compete with Man U and other clubs with sugar daddies.
Everton, Liverpool and Spuds all want new stadiums because it’s the only way to move forward.
I now we cannot compete now but we haven’t really finished moving to the The grove until highbury square is complete.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WRIGHTY!!!!!
Have a peroni on me!
What do you youngsters do for fun these days?
Happy Birthday Wrighty!
hitting the sack all, catch u later for round 2 of carrick vs the world!
mwahahahaha!
Congrats Wrighty. I hope you’re going to do the decent thing and sink a few shandies to commemorate said event.
We can play Song but we would all just have to accept that we cant win the league with him
Man……
I fooking love your blogs….. however this one is just down beat depressing reading!!!!
I don’t care what’s gone on before today. We have a great chance.
And the end of the day, we all hate the Northern Monkeys, no matter who Wenger decides to play.
Stick with him, he’s Le Boss, and he knows.
We’re playing United tomorrow, i’ve just about got me voice back from Wednesday, and tomorrow intend to sing until my throat doesn’t work again!!!!
it’s the big one, it’s our PROPPER derby
and we are the Arsenal!
Come on You Reds!!!!!!!
Hip Hip….
Wrighty – You old fart!
we missed Essien cos we wanted to pay £10m, and chavs were at the height of their “let’s find out who all the good clubs are trying to buy and offer £15m more” phase.
same thing happened with Wright-phillips and Malouda.
The one that pisses me off is Ribery- remember all those reports that said he had signed pre-contract etc etc
Right,
My announcement is this…..
I am now heading to the pub for my habitual friday piss up, and will be returning suitably rat faced and chatting absolute jibberish!!
Y’all play nice now ok?!!
Wrighty you are 26, happy birthday- no more Young Persons Railcard lol! I’ve got 3 more years to go before that grim day lol
Oh happy hatching day Wrighty, is it your round????
I’d be glad to be 41 again Wrighty7, let alone 21 !
Have a good one.
Wrighty .. Happy B’day your too old to play for Arsenal now..
Odub a very sensible idea and I won’t be too far behind you.
Ribery…..man, we would be a completely different team had we signed him…..
Ok Wrighty feck off now you’ve killed the debate lol
My self imposed exile of all things moist comes to an end as of 11.01AM tomorrow morning at Che Guevara’s, when i hit the Columbian rum again for my pre-match libation(s)…………….hallelujah brothers and sisters!
Haha, cheers for the B’day wishes!
A huge muscular man walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender hands him the beer and says “You know, I’m not gay but I want to compliment you on your physique, it really is phenomenal! I have a question though, why is your head so small?” The big guy nods slowly. He’s obviously fielded this question many times. “One day,” he begins, “I was hunting when I got lost in the woods. I heard someone crying for help and finally realized that it was coming from a frog sitting next to a stream. So I picked up the frog and it said “Kiss me and I will turn into a genie and grant you 3 wishes.” So I looked around to make sure I was alone and gave the frog a kiss. POOF! The frog turned into a beautiful, voluptuous, naked woman. She said, “You now have 3 wishes.” I looked down at my scrawny 115 pound body and said, “I want a body like Arnold Schwarzenneger.” She nodded, whispered a spell, and POOF! there I was, so huge that I ripped out of my clothes and was standing there naked! She then asked, “What will be your second wish?” I looked hungrily at her beautiful body and replied, “I want to make sensuous love with you here by this stream.” She nodded, laid down, and beckoned to me. “We then made love for hours!” Later, as we lay there next to each other, sweating from our glorious lovemaking, she whispered into my ear, “You know, you do have one more wish. What will it be?” I looked at her and replied, “How about a little head?”
even if we win tomorrow, I wont beleive we will win the league. we have a long way to go to convince me we can win the league. the win tomorrow will give us a very handy 3 points that we need in our season, wherever we end up. we need to fight for the 3 points and I will just be glad of the points, nothing to do with the league. but added confidence going through a hard November will be useful.
a solid 3rd/4th and a CL or FA trophy will do me nicely.
DDM i drink in the Che as well! or outside it i should say
Happy birthday Wrighty!
I’HE GOT ONE QUESTION. PLEASE RESPONSE. Many of You think that move to the Emirates was unnecessary, because of lack of atmosphere and founds for transfers. For me is really hard to decide. My question is- if there was any chance and possibility to make Highbury bigger to extend it’s capacity. And is there any chance to do the same with Emirates. PLEase response!!
Chipo – Was you there after the Spudz game??
I try desperately to stay inside, for the views! But end up outside most times as it gets seriously heaving in there………
Shit, there’s a few of us Old C**ts on here !!
Oi! Less of the old Doubleg, i prefer experienced, well rounded, mature………oh bollox who am i kidding, old fuckers it is then!!
there was no space to make highbury bigger- every possibility was looked into.. i dont think anyone wanted to knock highbury down.
as for emirates, i guess there is an option to expand, but to be honest i can’t see it happening. 60,000 is more than enough.
DDM- i never go inside unless its to get another San Miguel!
wasnt there after Spuds game- was far too fucked off went straight home and kicked stuff around lol
San Miguel, good call, i’m onto his cheapo Columbiam rum, hits the spot……..
ill have mascherano and cesc please
its got to be a pint! rum lasts 2minutes!
do you live local?
I can understand people thinking we will get beat,
what i cant understand is how people think we will throw in the towel and just get walloped.
i can tell you know,them players will give there all not to lose to the manc-scum.
im putting my faith in that we will win tomorrow and we will shut up our critics.
i still think this side is being made to look a lot worse than what it actually is!
I managde to do a whole bottle of the stuff after the Spudz game, then spent £55 on a black cab home, as i was in too much of a mess to even attempt a train, fucking 4-4 arghhhhhhhhhh………….
ouch £55…. so you live 55quid North South East or West?
Not anymore fella, moved out to fecking Bromey, loathe it, but she loves it, nuff said eh!
Thats the spirit No1 Goon!!
All this doom and gloom is way over the top…..you’d think we had lost our last ten games from the general reaction.
We will win tomorrow. I have a very good feeling about this game.
I had a bad feeling before the spuds game…and look what happened…didnt lose, but it DID feel like defeat. I have the opposite feeling for tomorrow though, we will step out at the Emirates and play like we know we can….and WIN 2-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i work for a cab company,the fares are a rip off!
dont know if i should be saying that lol
Vieira was sent off after a spat with van Nistelrooy in September 2003 but claimed the Dutchman overreacted.
The Frenchman said: ‘We played at Manchester and I was sent off during the game because I made a tackle and Van Nistelrooy acted like he was making a movie.
‘I got really frustrated about it and wasn’t happy at all.
‘After the game, I saw him next to the coach and we exchanged a few words. That was quite funny.’
Vieira also had an angry exchange of words with United defender Gary Neville which sparked a rumpus in the players’ tunnel at Highbury in February 2005.
It also sparked a heated argument between club captains Vieira and Keane.
‘I played with Roy Keane so many times, but the story that comes to my mind straight away is the argument we had at Highbury before the game in the tunnel,’ said Vieira.
‘I remember saying a few words to Gary Neville because he was after Robert Pires every time.
‘So I had a few words before the game and, of course, Roy Keane came to defend his own players.
‘There were a few words going through the tunnel and of course some intimidation.
So that was quite exciting and quite good.’
please come back!!! player coach all day long
Anyhoo, gotta dash, gotta date with destiny, aka fecking shopping, be back on later today though if anyone’s about……………..chamon mutha funglers!
the pub is calling!!! peroni me up baby!!!
jealous…
michael all the dooms getting on my nerve’s,
most people are just jumping on the bandwagon.
come on arsen,show them you are the master!
Hi all, I’m back and back to moderate! I noticed a few ding dongs and a bit of slagging, I’ll leave it there, you know who you are, remember we don’t call each other wankers, that’s reserved for Song.
Happy birthday Wrighty!
Where the fuck is Pedro?
geoff,
where is everybody? lol
It’s Friday lunchtime I’m guessing ha, ha, ha!
wish i was down the boozer,stuck at work.
oh well im gonna save it for tomorrow,well thats my excuse lol
Cheers Geoff!
Pedro’s skiving!
ting tong ramma damma ding dong
I like the results of the poll, DJ all day long. The question is whether or not he will play him. I would like to think so, but the reality of the situation says Silvestre.
On a different note, just got to my hotel in London. Getting ready for tomorrow’s game. I can’t wait!
Boo! I’ve snuck off for a quick post via the old iPhone while the boiler’s trying party frocks on!!
Welcome to London Maryland, the home of The Arse….
i need to know has wenger ever been made a sir?
i know he got a mbe,but did he get the sir honour?
and how do you become a sir?
just a debate at work.
ATom – Dennis will always be the King, but PV04 will always be a prince, player/coach yes please….
no. 1, He is an OBE, but he cannot be called a Sir, because he is not English.
Yeah but who the fuck voted for Song 7 times? that proves Wenger comes on!
Maryland – it’s because he’s not British – that’s a critical difference. As Sir Alex Funguscum is a jocko(Scottish).
You have to be pat of the British Empire and Commonwealth. You qualify Maryland, we own you again now that Obama got in don’t we?
Chary, isn’t that what I said.
fergie’s not english?
so it must mean you have to be british.
mbe where did i get that one from?
thanks maryland gunner
Whos not british?
Let me tell you . . . as a Yank, and having President Bush in office for the past 8 years . . . ouch. Obama winning is huge, and not just for us.
Let me tell you, it is an exciting time to be living in the US.
Fergie’s roots are Aberdeen and Rangers. If you called him English, he would probably slap you.
does obama’s brother live in london?
Good luck son!
Humm . . . that is a good question no. 1. I would have to Wikipedia that one.
Wiki isnt a reliable source. Just saying because any1 can change it.
No Maryland – you can be not English but still British(e.g. welsh, Scots, Northern Irish), just a pedantic point;eg. Martin O’Neill can be made a Sir.
Obama has relatives every where, Kenya, Indonesia, West Ham, somewhere in the middle east, at least he’s not claiming to be Irish, like the last 10 have.
chary
did you buy anything ??
Who claimed to be irish?
It points you in the right direction. On a different note, I have never been to the UK, and I have to say, I came in on a lovely day. What a great city. I am about to head out with the Mrs. for a bite to eat. Our plane had “issues” and caused us to be late by 2 hours. I could eat a house.
Brick might be hhard to chew tho!
Chary, you are right, and specifics are important. Obama drew rock star crouds throughout the entire primaries. It was truly an amazing site.
At his acceptance speech, over 1 million people gathered to hear him speak. That is simply amazing.
When England win the world cup with Almunia in goal,,
Can the make the Spanish waiter a “sir” like they will the rest of the team?
Afternoon All,
dennis, what you wrote earlier about Aw not having funds – your source must be very close to the club, and I for one have no problem with believing it. something like that has crossed my mind before, purely because history proves AW has spent money – Henry, Paddy, Petit, Overmars, Freddie, Reyes, Gilberto – any others, why now would he suddenly change his approach – because he has no money.!
If it is true, I am very surprised he has stayed so long with us. But I dont think he would leave for an EPL club, well, I hope not anyway
The board are bad to tell us otherwise, maybe thats why the Eldeman, what ever his name was was hoofed out, and no wonder DD was in favour of a take over…
2-1 – 3-2 tomorrow, home win though for me… My sister is a Manure follower and she reckons Manure will win 6-0!! ( What does she know, she is just a girl!!
)
Huh ? Did I buy anything where/when Ethan ?
Chary Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland, that’s the UK, but Edmund Hilary got knighted for climbing Everest and he’s from New Zealand.
That tosser Geldolf got an honourary one but he’s Irish so he can’t call himself sir.
Geoff-
i voted for Song cos i knew it would annoy you, and the ‘wanker’ comments were about everyone being mass debaters *bdom chisssssh*
Avenell, how crazy would that be . . . Almunia in an England jersey. My sister keeps on insisting that Almunia makes the best meat ball’s. He looks like he would be a great cook.
rico- the only player in that list who cost over 7m was Reyes… its hardly breaking the bank is it
When Henry left Arsenal, he was the highest paid player in the EPL. We have the money.
Wenger splashed he cash on Reyes and look how that turned out. Hardly motivation for Wengwer to splash the cash again but he still does need to spend something of note.
He’s a bargain basement shopper. He would love the clearance racks at the local store. He only buys crepes at half price. That should tell you something.
Maryland, only in America, we don’t hero worship our politicians like Americans do. Obama has been banging on about change for two years now and in his acceptance speech the first thing he said was ‘I may not do it this year, maybe not this term’… So no change then!
The USA were never going to put a Republican in 3 times on the trot, Bush twice, before that Clinton twice (Democrat) they just take it in turns. Obama will get two terms, still it has to be better than Hilary eh!
Chipo, I’m sure Wiltord was well over £7m.
Hiya Rico – nice to see you, it must be annoying to have a mankskummer as a sister.
Geoff – You’re probably right there “Sir” is not for UK nationals – only British, with the various exceptions to prove the rule. Not sure why Geldof got it – he should have it strippped from him for inflicting his ghastly daughters on the world.
Actually, Obama does have Irish connections, Moneygall, County Offaly. On his mum’s side of course.
The Irish PM (from county Offaly), has already extended an invitation !!
Good feeling about tomorrow, I think the players will respond, especially Cesc.
Chipo Henry was £10mil, Wiltord was £13mil….
Well bren they reckon we all came from a gene pool of 6 so we’re all related, unless you believe in the bibles and such, then it was two!
Henry cost 10.5 M, Hleb was quoted as being near 10.3M ??
According to some reports anyway, and in 1999/2005 respectively, that was big money imho
DDM – Has this insider of yours said anything else about the situation? I mean is AW thinking of leaving the club in the summer? Would he like a change at the top or even ownership? And how long do the board want to continue with this fucked up situation??
Geoff – Wiltord that much, I forgot him, still he won us the league at OT i suppose
Geoff . . . philosopher, Gooner, political guru . . . what don’t you like to debate on. We don’t idolize our leaders . . . rather the majority of us are so sick of the way things are with Bush. Trust me, if you lived here, you would hear the bitching and complaining.
Let’s just say, President Bush found a way to drive a thriving economy into the ground. Change has been whispered for some time, but now we can be excited about something. We have the hope that the last 8 years are not the future 4 we face.
Times are a changin.
P.S. I wouldn’t hero worship Brown either . . . he’s not that kind of guy. Blair maybe.
Hi Chary – it sure is, she is a Reading fan really, but used to fancy George Best, I thought she may grow out of it
Then, she followed Chelsea, and yes, only because she thought Jose was dishy – she is so fickle

rico- the only player in that list who cost over 7m was Reyes… its hardly breaking the bank is it
come on guys pay attention i was talking about that list!
Chipo…. Rico’s next line was any others? and Henry was £10.9 million.on the list..
And Reyes was £10.5 million plus extra’s that could have gone up to getting on for £20million..
well i just saw those names and didnt really think that those players were wenger spending big!
i am well aware that we have signed more than one player over 7m in wengers time…
anyway, my humblest apologies for any offence i might have cause on account of my foolish behaviour
so who is going to the game tmr, and where are they sitting?
i’m in row 18 right behind the goal, looking forward to seeing the net bulging when song hits a 40yard winner!
That’s right cousin Geoff
Lady & Gentlemen!!!!!
I have returned from my sojourn to the local public house, and must say I received a massive shock today…..They had 2 choices of peroni! NO LIE.
They had the normal stuff, and A peroni reserve which was 6%, I’m sure you know which one yours truly went for!!!!
I suddenly fell rather liberated….. I still however think we’ll draw 2-2 tomorrow!
odub u sir are a scoundrel… i only normal peroni!!!
rico… so was it the stud that is arsene wenger that lured u into supporting the arsenal?
Cousin Bren, I like it!
Maryland nice one! what I meant was the crowd out and chanting for both sides, same with Hilary, fuck you wouldn’t get us doing that for politicians, you lot did the same for the Austrian Terminator Arnold, when he was going for governor.
I spend a lot of time in the States, I have really good friends there, so I know the feelings, but I think Blair and Brown are embarrassing cunts that have robbed us blind over the years.
The only politician I’ve ever met was Cecil Parkinson, and I never would whoop and cheer for him, even if he bought me 10 pints.
They are all necessary evils and wankers.
Arsenal on the other hand are worth going to see and cheer for. When describing me you forgot to say heroic, witty and a leader of men.
ATom
As I have stated previously, these things gave to be done old bean,.
I was just lucky that the rather fit barmaid asked me which one I wanted, at which point time stood still as I’d never realised there was more than one!!
Geoff,
How are you sir?
Was beginning to wonder if you and young Pedro had abandoned ship today!
Could be another 6-1 Stepanovs & co 2001 debacle tomorrow lunchtime – unless big JD plays, in which case we will win 1-0 with a Diaby thunderbolt just before halftime and an incredibly unlikely but welcome backs to the wall second half performance.
No pressure Wenger, but just pick the man.
Odub I’m tip top thank you sir, I hope you can get around the internet problem, this site will be a poorer one without you!
Fuck knows where Pedro is, I think he’s on his way to some concert, needs to get his priorities right me thinks.
Any win would do me Seb.
AW’s team for tomorrow
Almunia
Kolo Silvy Gallas Clichy
Nasri Cesc Song Denilson Diaby
Bendtner
My team would be
Fab
Gallas JD Silvy Clichy
Diaby Cesc Kolo Nasri
Bendtner Vela
Geoff…not to mention modest
odub… so not only do u have multiple peroni’s you have attractive females serving?? i got served by a man with huge sagging man breasts …. there is no justice
Chipo … your right it’s a long time since we broke the English transfer record with Bergkamp…
Tom I’m so fucking modest I left it out, Odub, you forgot Theo.
odub- you have come down with Multiple Peroniality Disorder!
Bring back Bruce Rioch avenell!!
From December he’s free!
Like your team Odub – especially Kolo in midfield and JD at the back. Much more presence to the team
Might have swapped Ramsey for Diaby ?
Cheers Geoff,
And the only reason they’re doing all this is because some of the twunts in the company spend all day on sodding facebook! now they’ve ruined it for everyone else cheers!
Seb,
3 recent Arsenal games I’ve only ever seen once and have no interest in seeing again.
1. the game you mention above – Stepanovs & Luzhny (who’s fcking idea was that?!!)
2. The FA cup final where that fcking twunt Owen scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes
3. The 4-0 V Liverpool with the crouch hatrick…nuff said
dont think Theo will be fit. also thought Diaby wouldnt get bullied or barged over as much as say Ramsey. As we know the mancscum always turn up with that in mind!!
lets just hope diaby gives one of them manc cunts a good old john terry face punting… take your pick abou
Odub ive got a few more to add to that list:
- losing 4-2 at home to the mancs- john o shea scored the 4th (think i just did a little vomit in my mouth)
- champions league v liverpool last season
- Birmingham v Arsenal last season
CL final!!!
lossing to hull has to rank up there!!!
yes those are three nice ones Odub, I would add any Liverpool game with that crackhead Fowler playing, he used to get one over on us on a regular basis.
But I suppose reminiscing about legendary defeats is not the best way to psych ourselves up for a big game against United really
oh and any games where Sheringham scored, god I hated that man, in fact that would make a good poll Geoff, the opponent you loved to hate the most ^^
Seb u remember when Fowler scored that 15 minute hat trick against us- horrible
Alan Alan Sunderland…
Alan Alan Sunderland..
Spirit of 79″ is what we need.
ok, this isnt helping.
How about we do top manc home defeats we’ve handed out under AW.
1. 3-2 with David Platt stealing it
2. 3-2? With Ljunberg’s debut goal
3. 1-0 With TH14′s wunder goal
4. 3-1 with Barthez’s 2 gaffs gifting TH14 2 goals!
OH WAIT
i’ve got the worst………………
Arsenal v Real Zaragoza… Nayim from the halfway line! AAAAGH!!!!!
Gents may I direct you to the video in the link below….. Enjoy!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1083793/Tension-arguments-battles-pizza-Past-clashes-Manchester-United-v-Arsenal.html
yes Odub! Platt’s header from outside the area- incredible!
Was Platt’s header really from outside the area ? I remember it followed a corner from the left in front of the north bank. Defi nitely outside the GK’s area in anycase – an old fashioned towering header which we need more of..
teddy fucking sheringham… what a cunt, i see that bloke almost every week at some place or another and every time he’s got that smug fucking grin on his face
Chary it’s on the link I just posted. It was from about 10,12 yards out.
corner of the area wasnt it?
i see teddy sheringham most weeks at The Vic…. with his perma tan
odub… those were the days… what a total and utter cunt nistle was/is… i loved parlour giving him a little slap at the end and him looking like someone had stabbed him!!!
fucking magic
Afternoon all,
I’ve just read that Tottenham had 16,000 at Shite Fart Pain last night. And they call themselves a BIG club!
FUCKING MUGS!!!
our players might as well have been wearing hoodies in that video! pure mugging!
chipo… but how beautiful to see it… can you imagine it now? watching aprlour and everyone shouting at nistle calling him god knows what… the only person who would do it now is cesc and i cant see that being for much longer
footballers I wouldnt mind giving a right kicking
1. Sheringtwat
2. Collymore
3. Fowler
4. Barton
5. Gary Neville
6. Bellamy
7. Phillip Neville
8. Van Horseface
9. Peter Reid (For letting a fat argy go past him TWICE!)
I know that game ended 0-0, but it felt like a win, especially after horseface missed that pen!! And we went the whole season unbeaten despite the 50 mtach ban for Lauren, Parlour, Keown and cashley!! ha ha!!
Good News Guys:
Looks like Fletcher is out for tomorrow. It’s in the bag.
i wish someone had got Cesc throwing pizza in Fergie’s face on video!
I like your irony DoubleG.
I mean Fletcher out, oh yipperdee doodah !
yeah game over!!! 5-0 to the arse tomorrow!! COME ON!
Got to tell you the worst I’ve ever felt and we didn’t even lose, last week against the spuuds, horrible. All Wenger’s fault, I hope he makes substitutions soon if we need then and not when it’s too late, and not at all if we don’t.
theres been allot of wenger chat as well today on the arsenal site..
‘i would swap jobs with anyone else’ and all that crap!!!
funny after what DDM said earlier!! someones been reading le grove and reporting back!!!
0-0 2mo
You know what I hate???
Is when some dipshit says
“ITS ONLY A GAME” when Arsenal lose!
Wrighty ,,, I have just had a look at the Spud attendance thing, and the tossers reckon 32,000 came up as the attendance on the scoreboard,
I’ve just had a feeling you might post as a wind up on your blog and I’d hate to see the Spuds giving it the big un and it wasn’t 16000..
I remember earlier in the season during the Fulham V Arsenal game I had to do a fucking airport run!
I had to take THE MOTHER-IN-LAW and her new muggy Boyfriend who “apparently” was a Gooner.
Anyway, I watched the first half down the boozer with the old man and Arsenal were losing. I had to pick up the tossers at half-time and listen to the rest on the radio on the way to Gatwick.
I swear I could have killed my mum-in-law. I was getting wound up because Arsenal were losing and she kept saying “Its only a game, are you really that bothered?” OVER and OVER again.
She was lucky that she wasn’t thrown out on the M25! To top it off, Arsenal lost 1-0 and she told me to drop her off at south Terminal, when she needed the north!
Very testing times!!!!!!!!!!!
charybdis1966
you didnt see the link i left you on the bottom of last post ???
Cheers Avenell!
I’d have looked a right plonker! I read it in the Star newspaper!
Geoff
i felt worse …. V the spud C.C knockout last season !
i was ropable for days after that !
i can handle a draw .. ( after a few days )
but to go down like cheap ho’s in that fashion ,
coupled with the spuds celebrating for days after …
that sucked the fat one !
I missed that Ethan – will “add to cart” where necessary.
This is the squad for tomorrow:
Arsenal (from): Almunia, Fabianski, Diaby, Sagna, Fabregas, Toure, Nasri, Gallas, Vela, Walcott, Denilson, Ramsey, Song, Silvestre, Wilshere, Gibbs, Djourou, Clichy, Bendtner.
chary
get me a cylon outfit whilst your at it
I don’t know if this is cruel or funny!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GYumlhWcmrg&feature=dir
wrighty that is genius!
Ethan – I couldn’t find the link – what time yesterday was the post ?
But I’ve always wanted one of those light brown colonial warrior jackets – they looked cool for casual wear or if I ever go to another sci-fi convention again.
A friend of mine met the man DB last Saturday at the Ricoh arena in Coventry – wished I could have gone !
Ethan I think I expected to lose thhat with the team he picked, Wrighty I think you need help mate, that or 10 pints! Where the fuck did you find the cat video??? and why?
Geoff,
I was on you tube and clicked on it by mistake!
Geoff did you think it was all bollocks about the post i left this morning about the bob wilson interview,where he thought wenger would leave at the end of the season,the one main challenge being the CL trophy.Maybe he really wanted those 3 experienced players but the money wasn’t there. This could be true.Anyway not my opinion,just something i listened to.
geoff have you seen this
http://www.arsenalnewsreview.co.uk/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=1110&cntnt01origid=30&cntnt01returnid=42
So, RVP is suspended, Ade is out, Nikki B is not clinical enough to lead a 4-5-1. looks like Vela could be looking at his first start with Nikki B. Sign of hope? or desperate cry for help? what do you all think?
Wrighty oh happy birthday “my child”
Kelsey, yeah I think the story is all bollocks, though frankly it wouldn’t bother me if he did go now.
Kingsley interesting but I’m not sure I believe it do you? looks a bit like Nasri, I’d sooner we signed Kana and Zapata.
Folks,
Why not solve our midfield and defensive problem by playing Toure as DM who will really mop in front of defence, allowing either a galas Djoru or Gallas Sylvestre partnership.
Fabianski / Alumina
Sagna Djourou Gallas Clichy
Toure (Ramsey)
Theo (Ebue) Cesc Diaby (Nasri)
Wengers main problem is that once he leaves Arsenal he is probably going to retire all together, certainly in terms of management. And he knows that this is his last opportunity to win the CL, that which has eluded his grasp throughout his whole career. He is throwing all his eggs in one basket and doesnt want anything but it.
Perhaps we haven’t appointed a CEO, as Wenger wants that position next season, and he trains a new manager up (DB10) ..
if that lenny story were true surely some other news sources would have picked it up? however he’s small, lightweight and similar to what we have so i guess its a done deal!
Evening – yes I am back……..
Tom, you are so naughty about our fine Manager, but I have to confess, Arsene had nothing to do with me supporting our fine club, as good a looking that he is!!!!!
Charlie George did it for me
But dont tell gnarley 
Those were the days………….. My friend, we thought would never end, those were the days….. you oldies know the rest..
Those days, WILL BE BACK
We can do a lot with this line up
Fabianski
Sagna Djourou Gallas Clichy
Toure
Theo Cesc Nasri
Diaby
Bendtner
If we are loosing change to a more attack minded formation. Dennilson will help out in an attacking formation, while Ramsey Playing behind Bent. Theo should play to give us an outlet and pin Evra from his foraging runs. Tho can switch with Nasri if need be
Fabianski
Sagna Djourou Gallas Clichy
Dennilson
Theo Cesc Nasri
Ramsey Bendtner
Why is wenger denying he is quitting,how did this all start today ?
Kelsey… DDM @10.23
well that makes sense avenell going on what bob wilson said.so the board and wenger are all lying.what a fucking shambles.
Ive had a really shit week at work and watching Arsenal so i voted for Song who i can’t stand and it made me feel better,does that make sense.
No!
i voted for song too..
supporting our players geoff!! eheheh
hello lads how is everyone doing?
i see JD won the Vote then lol
hey.. raif.. hows it going?
Choy, he shouldn’t be one of our players. Raif not if it had been left to Paul and Choy.
Geoff. Lucky everyone else had enough sense to vote for JD lol
Choy. hello there mate alls good now that im in my flat there was a Fire in our Block of flats and we had to evacuate.
These are the actual quotes from Arsenal.com:
“You can expect Arsenal to be active tomorrow at 12.45 and for the rest January is a long time away. I believe that this team personally is very strong and recently they don’t get any credit. But it’s a good moment for this young team to grow together, show resilience, show strengths and an opportunity to be a strong team in the future.
“Good players can always help you but I believe at the moment I have good players here. I do not want to focus on January and I am not sure at all that I will buy.
“The solution is not always to buy players. The solution for me at the moment is to trust the players I have because I trust their strengths and I trust their intelligence, so let’s show it.”
THE MAN IS COMPLETELY MAD
Toure as a DM does not solve the long ball problem. DMs need to be good headers of he ball and need lot of stamina to cover ground. I think AW is on record saying Toure does not have the stamina to be a midfielder.
hi choy,raif evacuate sounds a bit scarry.
kelsey.
yeah mate the fire was on the floor bellow mine. lucky for me the fire was in the flats on the opposite side. so nothing happened to me. but i feel sorry for our neighbors as there flat will be full of smoke and the firery smell and so on.
the guy who actully got his house burnd to a crisp was pulled out by the fire Brigade lucky for him.
but the guy is bit of a crack pot from what i have heard from other people.
there not suprised he set his house on flames.
but the men & woman of the fire Brigade got my respects tonight seeing them smash the doors down and running into a burning flat
by no means do i support what he is saying kelsey but did you expect different?
if there was ever a sure bet its Arsene defending his youth policy pre game
same ol ,same ol
every time with the hypocrisy from this guy cause if we don’t show well tomorrow he will blame them for all the reasons he stands behind them
but credit to the guy he may just be, right now, the sole diluted believer in this current squad
but goddamn i still secretly hope ,all my senses tell me not too but still in my heart i fucking hope
I am not at the game tomorrow but for those of you that are there please also raise your game.Especially the cunt that normally sits next to me.Club level Block 51 back row 201 and 202.Watch the whole game for a change and make some noise.
great post btw
hey kelsey.. how are you doing.
fuck hope alls well with you raif.. hope its not a sign for things to come tomorrow
choy.
thanks, and i hope so aswell. but having said that Dreaming of Fires is Bad. actull fires i have no idea LOL
having said that i think im going to listen to
tom jones “burning down the house”
Evening all, I’ve just read an article on the News feed, claiming Arsene is unlikely to buy in the January transfer window. Hopefully he’s just bluffing, I know he’s not one to buy in Jan, but without some reinforcements I think we will just about manage finishing 4th. On the game tomorrow, what are the chances of Nicci B having 3 bad games in a row? Surely he’s due a good performance. I’m going for 1-1 draw, as I believe we will score first, then get pegged back.
i think the last High Profile Signing we made in Jan was Reyes.
i could be wrong tho
raif we actually bought ade in january.
the trouble with nicci is that he is a lazy sod,you wont see him tracking back and he’s not the fastest.the limelight will sure be on him tomorrow,but we are going to have a monumental fight on our hands.One thing he has got is a better heading ability than ade though laugh not gallas is the best header of the ball in the squad.
truth,we have just been discussing it,he aint got the money.
kelsey
ahh yes i forgot about Ade
and about Nikk Big Balls. his heading is very good i think. the only problem is our crossing we cantcross for shit and i have been moaning about it for ages. same with out Corner taking. it hardly beats the first man.
thats why trying to play a game were we can get more crosses in fro ADE/NIKK B is a wast of time in my view. as were shit at getting the ball in the box as it is
Sorry kelsey, I did not have time to read the earlier posts. What no money, how can this be. As far as I am concerned, our club finances just do not make sense.
actually we are just plain shit.
Nothing makes sense at our club,everything is shrouded in mystery.When edelmen said money was available(at the CL draw) what did he mean.half a million or 30 million,,all i know is that ade’s wages went up from 35k to 80k and that was the worst deal we made all summer.he was hot property then and we could have got 20 million for him,now,well that’s a different matter.
The thing is, if he was sold, are you sure we would have spend the proceeds?
Truth.. you speak the Truth, Wenger wouldnt spend the proceeds
FENERBACHE IS NOT “NEXT UP” LAST TIME I CHECKED. Just wanted to let you know
I think the realistic goals The Club must aim for are:
1. Winning Champions League
almost forgot,
2. Finishing in Top 4 in PL
3. Signing stars in January, and
4. Winning F A Cup.
Big Raddy
I refer you to previous 5-0 thrashing,
Rico
Charlie George
Ian “slobber guts” Botham
Gnarley… I cannot knock Beefy, as he as raised £10 million for Leukaemia research..
Top geezer!
morning all.
evening Evo
avenell
I respect what you say, but he should just continue his good work with raising money instead of opening his big trap about Oz cricket. He may just be the Wenger of Cricket, i.e gives the opo the edge
Morning evo, early kick off should be good tonight.
Anyone else think the Nic was saving himself on Wednesday night for the Utd game?
Anyone else think we’re going to get hammered tomorrow?
We were watching the 2nd test on tele from Adelaide, a few coldies going down like Stoke City & Hull, when Giles dropped a sitter from Ricky Ponting. One of my mates said there & then. “He just dropped The Ashes”
How true he was.
Well Botham has just done sort of the same, only, England don’t have them, to lose
Haven’t watched cricket since the days of G.A. Arnold and A.P.E Knott so cannot comment on what he says Gnarley.
Queenie
If you are going to the game, you might be pleasantly surprised. I’ve just got a good feeling about this one. Maybe not 3 points, but a point would make a point, (or a statement)
The “kids” have to stake their claim at some point in time, they can’t always be seen as potential, so what better stage for them to finally show their skills than against Sir Fur-on-Tongue.
yep perfect kick off time, need to head down to the boozer and pick up a case of heinekens!
evo have you tried the new Richmond Lagers. Not too bad at all. Fosters, that Scottish Brewing Company, have just released them in time for the new era
I think we are going to get hammered
QoS – do you think Nik was saving himself? What would be the point of saving yourself if you are a striker?
well the spotlight is firmly on nick.. i think this is the first time that he will be leading the line for arsenal.. he has talked the talk and shown the attitude..
lets see what the boy is made up of!!!
Cmon ARSENAL!!!!!
The Arsenal forum on arsenal tv this evening had Lee Dixon guesting with Tom Watts. Lee Dixon said he felt positive about a result tmoro as he knew what sort of prep the players would have had this week from Arsene and his team – he said the team would be ready!! What d’you think happened last week then????
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted the Emirates Stadium will play host to a “critical” Premier League blockbuster – but for Manchester United rather than Arsenal. Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, has reiterated his commitment to Arsenal despite his youngsters’ recent struggles, insisting he would not swap places with Sir Alex at Old Trafford.
Mmmmmm!! The Shock Jock might just be the one handing over the amo
Go Go Gunners
I have never felt so excited or so scared!!
Cmon lads!!!!!
Tonight/This arvo may be one of those moments in time you remember where you were in years to come. I’m serious now.
Can you imagine Geoffs day @ The Emirates:-
Arrives @ Corporate Lounge & orders Bottle of Moet with lunch.
scores our 2nd, which loosens it off its fixings and lands on some unsuspecting manure fans sitting bellow inseats that they got scalped for 500 quid.
Gets sauced up then asks a steward if that cunt Beckham is here today. Belts the sign as Little Nicky
Then staggers along leaving the ground singing “Nicky Nicky Nicky Nicky Born is the King of Highbury. (well Emirates doesn’t rhyme with Nicky does it
)
Now that would be a great day out, & should make up for the Spuds debarcle.

rEAD This Lads
i did rob.. what type of message is that supposed to send out to the players.
yeh a little odd, on the eve of a massive match!
Rob
I’d prefer to send a message pre game that he is thinking conservative, then belt the living daylights out an unsuspecting manure.
Wenger hasn’t said outright(a result you have against England in cricket) that he wants to win the CL but body language tells me its his number one priorty.
that would be a legendary day gnarley
i read that Link.
Wenger is a Pleb
…..lets hope that today, having said that, that a good deal of todays work is taking place behind closed doors, and not getting blurted out @ a media conference. But there is still plenty of time for Le Boss to let down his guard.
Tonight could be seen like Shakespears Henry V. Manure come flying out on their prized steeds to flog a mottley lot whom they know from previous encounters, but wait a moment. The mottley lot have “long bows”
Mmmmmm?? Maybe there could be a lot of long balls or pin point Cesc passes cutting through the manure mid field
Its starting to get pretty exciting for me. You wouldn’t want to be having a sleep between now & kick off. Wake up London
raif i don’t know whether you’ve had more avatars than Rico has been first to comment @ post time. I must admit I prefer the old style cannon than the new logo.
i reckon vela and bendtner are going to have a field day
gnarley
HAHA
it is true. i like changing my avatars
but i think Rico is just egging it lol
All those articles on arse.com show that Wenger had a pretty hard grilling from the press today. The official site only ever gets stuff from his pre-match press conferences, which is pretty poor in itself, but it looks like the media were really out for blood.
One thing he said which is very true, is that it doesn’t matter who we reckon we need, we ain’t gonna get anyone before january. So we have to use what we’ve got, which means Denilson or Geoff’s favourite. In fairness to Denilson he has come on a lot from his sporadic appearances in the past, but he hasn’t exactly been a midfield enforcer. As AW said ‘we do things a different way’ post-Flamini, well I’m not entirely sure it’s the right way whatever it is.
Manager Arsene Wenger has pleaded with Arsenal fans to respect Ferguson this weekend.
“We always want to respect our opponent and to respect the dug-out,” said the Arsenal boss. “The way we want to behave at Arsenal is to respect everybody.”
“Well almost everybody, said an Australian Arsenal fan on Le Grove, “if that idiot Beckham is in the crowd, he’d better stay away from some of the Moet sipping Corporate Members”.
I prefer the old style cannon aswell it was much better.
Just woke up, and the suspene is already killing me!!! Wish theyed let us know about Theo aswell, its meaning my fantasy league transfers are gettin closer and closer to the deadline :@
* suspense
**they’d
benno.. theo will def start
well he won’t start is he’s not fit will he, just wish they’d say one way or another coz i can’t make any changes till i take Ade, and until they announce if Theo’s fit i cant put another centre forward in, meaning i can’t make any transfers
*take Ade out…
god it must have just gotten up to be making this many typo’s
btw did anyone else figure that Dudu should be back playing competitive action next week. The arsenal.com injury page said he’d be playing competitively in 3 weeks and that was on the 23rd Oct which was 2 weeks ago….a nice and timely boost if we can get something off the mancs
charybdis1966
it was on tv.com
they said they are now officially auctioning off all the set- memorabilia etc ..
id presume they’d do it on eBay .. but that last part is just a guess ..

Thousands of one-of-a-kind BSG bits will be up for sale to the highest bidder beginning January 16 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Southern California. However, those who can’t make it all the way to SoCal can use space-age technology known as “the Internet” to bid remotely.
January 16 YOU HAVE TIME TOO SAVE
Viper flight suits there you go !!!
just dont buy starbucks
LINK
I think we will be slaughtered 2morrow guys.
Frankly
Plus, I heard Walcott we not be risked, neither will Sagna.
Ade is out already. Fuck!! And Assing Wenger will never play Vela according to his philosophy. Cuz he’s “not combative enough”
FUCK
LINK
Believe and sing your hearts out. Its 11:13 pm here in Chicago and I cannot wait for the game.
Almunia
Sagna JD Gallas Clichy
Theo Cesc Ramsey Nasri
Diaby
Nik
If Sagna isn’t fit, play Toure there. He handled CR last year whilst playing as a RB.
I think nasri will have a good game tomorrow, regardless of the scoreline. Gut feeling, I guess.
COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!!
My prediction on the tempo of the match…
We start strongly, 3 shots on target within first 10 minutes. No goal yet. The mancs start creeping back into the game, Ronaldo makes some excellent bum-dives. But 14th minute, Clichy makes an overlap leading to Wes Brown tracking him, Nasri cuts inside squares it to Bendtner, continues his run to the far side, Bendtner lays it off for Walcott, and Walcott SCORESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
1-0 to the Arsenal.
I wouldnt go any further
Nice prediction ikon,however i think we are dreaming.today all our attacking options are nearly missing the only one who might get on the scoresheet is nasri,even though he and many others have performed well below their form recently.i don’t remember nicci ever lading the line as a sole front man.he hasn’t got the pace of ade or theo or rvp.
one thing you can’t do against united is walk the ball into the net.
Then consider cesc is on 4 yellow cards,will that be on his mind.
The bookies make us 9/4 to win at HOME
This started against spurs with wrong subs and even though clichy was at fault with their third goal,there was a minute left,and the thing we do so well “playing keep ball” to run down the clock we fucked up big time.
RVP when fit is a class act,and what he did at stoke was unforgivable,we will miss him today through sheer stupidy.
on paper we are the underdogs and i hope wenger doesn’t look for a draw..It’s easy to say the players are foucsed but mentally they are shattered.If gallas plays,it gives him a good chance to really act as a leader.
my heart wants us to win but my head think its unlikely.We have to play 4-4-2 at least to start with and finally don’t hold your breath about january signings,le boss has said its unlikely.
Eduardo is meant to be back in training,bt i haven’t heard a word.it’s all gone quiet on rosicky but maybe bischoff will feature soon and if Theo plays give him a full ninety minutes for the first time instead of the obligatory 70 minutes.
Fingers crossed guys.
New post going up!
top of the world …….guys
