Well recent research has now backed up what we have been saying for nearly 6 months, that nearly a quarter of Arsenal fans will not be renewing their season tickets next term, well considering no one asked me, Pedro or anyone I know that goes, that figure could be a lot higher.
Arsenal will say it’s not just us, it’s everyone in the premier league, so what, if we had bought a few key players in the summer, instead of selling some, we may not have had this problem, speculate to accumulate, it’s not too late Arsenal, a lot of those people would go the extra mile if they thought you would, right, enough on that.
Don’t forget though, we didn’t need Virgin to spend a gazillion quid on research to tell us that, so maybe Arsenal should pay a bit more attention to Le Grove in the future.
Last night our academy team tore Wolves a new bottom with a 3-1 win, Sunu grabbed a hatrick but the down side was that Jacky boy* picked up a nasty ankle injury that could see him out for a while, so now even more reason to bring in some star names.
The hot story that won’t go away is that we are on the verge of signing Arshavin, well we also found out yesterday that he was voted the 6th best player in the world and given those under him are all valued at over £30milllion, Wenger should just buy him, he could still get him for less than we paid for Wiltord 8 years ago so why dilly dally boss? get him in before someone else does, don’t let him be another one that got away.
Get rid of Gallas, buy a new and better, younger centre back and give Arshavin the cherished number 10 shirt, give it to a player that ‘is fit’ to lace Bergkamp’s boots.
This would give the fans a huge lift and with February around the corner, you may find more people will renew their tickets, I know Pedro and I will!
Not a lot of other news about today so it would be a really good time to cheer us all up. I like Gallas and I rate him as a player, but he has caused problems in the ranks, he’ll soon be 32 and we all know he’ll be gone in the summer, so get shot now while he still has some stock, yes I know he’s injured, but it’s only a minor tug, and Milan will have him.
Man City are now turning their attention to Kaka, I don’t believe the figures of between £100 and £175mil because he’s not that good and the Mancs aren’t that stupid, but at least they seem to be cooling on Arshavin.
Some interesting views on who you all think is the worst player ever to wear an Arsenal shirt, well apart from Gunnersaurus I think that title goes to a player that is still in the squad and was signed on some kind of talented visa, we won’t go there today though and you all know my views, a good solid signing though should take that problem away.
Have a fun filled day today Grovers, it’s now only 3 days to go before we play Hull and I can’t wait, don’t forget that hell hath no fury like a talented side that got beaten by a pub team.
*Update: Rhys Murphy was injured.
Le Grove is now smart phone compatible!
Pedro
Geoff
i wanted to be on podiaum ha hahha for so long
Swine
I think it was Rhys Murphy who was injured, not jack.
Wilshere wasn’t injured was he?? I thought it was Murphy & he was replaced by Sunu!!
I’m going to take some ketamine and wake up on the 1st Feb. I fucking hate transfer windows.
manc left and there is jose interest in arshevin
Morning btw.
Steve, you might want to wake up after 5pm on Feb 2nd as thats when the window shuts this year!!
Say the Mirror and Daily Porn pak. I’ve seen more reliable public transport than those pair of fucking chip papers.
i am in so dont have idea which news paper is reliable. i heard abt the sun not daily porn. newsnow updated it
Cheers GMR, I’ll up my dosage.
Just for my information, any idea on how long Milan has come under English juristiction?? That fat Russian prick said yesterday that there was a host of ENGLISH clubs after Arshavin.
What we’ll hear on February 1st is that the economic climate, credit crunch this, credit crunch that has prevented us from strengthening our squad………..well the credit crunch will then prevent me from throwing my hard earned cash at our money grabbing board………..so, sadly, you can include me in that 24%………
Geoff,
good article.
Where did you get your stat from?
if this 24% thing is right then board will go for arshevin or who ever they get
Heads up for you….dont believe the following sources:
Daily Star
Daily Mirror
Daily Mail
The Sun
This story originated in the Mirror and the Star. The common denominator between the 2 is the word ‘cunt’. One is owned by one and the other has lots of it within the paper.
to freshen up the fans’ faith in the club
Morning all……Interesting to hear Cesc giving Ramsey his backing! Lets hope Le Boss listens to his club captain and starts handing Ramsey some EPL starts!! If Cesc is tipping a guy who is direct competition for his place then the lad must be good……
That stat actually isn’t very helpful because I’m sure the board would point out that actually we came near the bottom of that table & that big spending clubs like Man Utd were very near the top. Therefore the no spending policy is safer than the big spending policy.
Morning all.
Top post Geoff….
Steve, good point, the money grabbing russian dude didn’t mention Mourine in for Arshavin yesterday. So, could it be bollox??
Also, re the sun £175mil for Kaka……yeah right!!! Senderos marked him out of both legs in the CL last year……..that’s why they have taken Senderos on loan. He did play a blinder over both legs but, and I hate to say it, dont think he’d of man marked Ronaldo or Arshavin out the game for two legs
So, hurry up and fkin buy Arshavin Arsenal…….
morning all! good post today, not surprised by the 24% thing tho… as we cant be the only ones who think we’re shit!!
i heard it was only murphy and not wee jack that got injured last nite?
I hope Arshavin will not be our only signing
Luckily for us Stan Kroenke is a very clever man & is now buying up shares since the price has dropped. He has more cash than Usmanov now (well according to Forbes anyway) & I’m pretty sure eventually him & Fiszman will jointly own the club!!
it was murphy who got injured not jack luckily
Geoff, do you know of any other clubs season ticket renewals stats?? Think this may happen to a good few clubs except Manure…..they’re all on the rock and roll anyway so, indirectly, we pay for their season tickets!! scum bags…
Back to my earlier post – If i really believed (!) that we are gonna buy someone in January, i’d bin this Russian faker and test the Chavs resolve by offering £10-£12m for Joe Cole…………he’s gotta be pretty fed up spending the last year and a half as a bit part player……..
You’re right, kingsley, only Murphy.
Just thought I’d share these with you, and though one of the sources shares my name, it’s not me!
“I work as part of the ground staff at the emirates. Dont’t get your hopes up over Arshavin. The talk around the club is that a fee can’t be agreed. Zenit are asking for £17m and not a penny less. Apparantly Wenger has no plans to meet this valuation as his budget is limited. £12million is his max bid, because he also wants to bring in Lazio’s Diakate,and Schalke’s Defensive Midfielder Heiko Westermann”
“Arsenal are in talks with Lazio over there centre back Mobido Diakite. Negotiations are at an advanced stage with Diakite due to have medical on Friday. Fee is beleived to be 6-7million. You heard it from Jimbo first. ”
Lastly, Alex Song is NOT worse than Emmanuel Eboue.
I think your reading of the statistics is somewhat flawed. Certainly remarks like:
“well considering no one asked me, pedro or anyone I know that goes, that figure could be a lot higher.”
exhibit a fundamental misunderstanding of how research like this works.
That aside, in the rest of the article I was quite surprised and pleased at where Arsenal ranked in relation to other clubs. The survey says more about the socioeconomic nature of the support of the clubs, and about the sacrifices that many will have to make in the current economic climate than it does about the football on the pitch.
I don’t really see it as a problem for the Arsenal. a quarter of season ticket holders merely considering it, with a sizeable waiting list of season ticket holders waiting in the wings. Arsenal’s support is probably affluent and large enough for those season tickets that are not renewed to be picked up by those next in line. Plus, again, I think it compares very favourably to other clubs in the list, all things considered. I don’t think the club is worried about that side of their business. Corporate box renewals might be a different matter but they’re not an insurmountable obstacle for the club.
Wardo, Arsenal are actually ranking about 15th in the % of season ticket holders considering giving up their tickets.
Guys,How long is jackie boy out for?
arsenalised, he didn’t get injured.
Only Rhys Murphy did.
Geoff, is it 24% of Arsenal fans, or 24% of Premiership Season Ticket holders?
Hopefully the later.
Have to say I am seriously thinking about not re newing my season ticket, and have been for a while now, For 2 seasons i have asked to move my seat but the club turn me down, people around me dont make enough noise, im sure the guy in front does not even get up when we score.
Also its the talent on the pitch, we pay alot to watch Arsenal, so we deserve to see some great talent /fight on the pitch.
Murphy was injured, not Wilshere. See Arsenal.com, which confirms the 19 year old was stretchered off.

http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/football/Quarter-of-Arsenal-fans-consider.4869465.jp
Nearly a quarter of Arsenal fans are considering giving up their season-ticket according to a new survey.
Virgin Money’s Football Fans’ Inflation Index, which has tracked match day costs since January 2006, says die-hard supporters could give up their tickets as the credit crunch bites.
While 24 per cent of Gunners season-ticket holders are considerinADVERTISEMENTg cancelling, the survey says as many as 34 per cent of north London rivals Spurs are having second thoughts about renewing.
Premier League champions Manchester United are feeling the pinch with 36 per cent considering giving up season tickets, while 37 per cent at West Ham, Newcastle and Blackburn are in the same frame of mind.
Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters Federation, said: “Over the past 15 years football inflation has consistently exceeded ordinary inflation and the industry may well now pay the price for its short-sightedness in allowing that to happen.
“At the end of the day watching football is a leisure activity and it would be very surprising if it was immune from the sharp effects of the recession, particularly at the top end of the game where prices are so high.”

steveo take a couple of special K becaus ethe bloody window doesnt end till the 2nd this year! sign hangeland and arshavin and its happy days well good enough for 2/3 perhaps!
but geoff it isn’t because of team and the way our season has gone….its because of money tht aint is there in ticket holders pocket any more
Arsenal infact have the lowest amount of season ticket holders thinking about not renewing out of all the big clubs,so dont really get ur point at all
Liverpool top of the league have 26%
man utd 36%..!!!!!
spurs 34%
GMR
you legend !!!
how have you been !
ive missed your comments .
well whats your scoop on the ARSENAL IN CRISIS theory ….
im not sure if youve been reading my babble the past few months ! but dont go
running away again ! if anyone gives you grief TELL ME !
we will go around there houses with baseball bats
Dennis:i thought joe cole is constantly injured thats why he’s out most of tha time.
Oops, sorry for the double post.
did anyone read (on young guns I THINK!) that gilles sunu is off to L’OM im the summer???
I have been at every home game this season and have been a season ticket holder for over 20 years and nobody has asked me if i’m renewing. We have loads of ST holders on here, anyone else get asked? DDM, Geoff and Pedro have all said they would consider not renewing.
Anyway, I’m seeing that friend of mine who works at Arsenal this evening – watching a bit of the footy, probably.
I’ll get any updated transfer goss from him, and post it here – though I still believe him when he says that the Arshavin deal is very unlikely to happen.
Gooner-pak:i agree with you that its mostly about money not how we are performing.
Hello Ethan, to be honest I just wanted some time out. I was spending too much time online & not enough training & being with the family.
Why would anyone on this so-called uber sized waiting list be any different from the fans who actually currently own a season ticket? I mean, they will have the same cash constraints and they will be watching the same sub-standard players on TV, Internet etc. So, when AFC come calling to Joe Smith and says “hey, we’ve now got a season ticket available for you, gimme your £1400 and enjoy Alex Song et al”………what do you think most of these shadowy waiting listees will say………….oh yesssssssss pleassssse and thank you oh so very much!!!!
Jimbo:how trustworthy is your source or where exactly is he/she in the arsenal heirachy
arsenalised – That could be partly true, i don’t know anough about the Chavs. However, he was definately second/third choice for a starting role under Avram Grant, and it would appear to be the same under Philphy Phil………
Gbenga… Song being player of the ACN shows you how weak the tournament is.
Comrades
Fuck the season ticket, get rid of it altogether I say. Then every game will be a sell out and we can stop getting lied to about attendance figures and every one gets a go in a different seat once in a while.
Lets get Arshavin, Veloso, and Alex from Chelsea and rule europe for years to come. I genuinely think these 3 players will acheive that for us.
I’m feeling right fuckin revoultioanry today
Steve – I’ve not been approached about renewing, and as far as i’m aware neither has my brother!!
GMR
yes i know what you mean !
i took a break during christmas as well
training ? what are you training for ?
All our hopes rest on arshavin ..
and i hope we secure the lad whilst not losing anyone
even gallas ..
id like to think he will be still here after the season ends . i still think he will give some much needed guidance and experience to the back ..
Pedro:the ACN is not weak song is the one thats weak.
AusGunner I understand how research works, I’m in the business, I was being ironic, that is to say if they asked all the people I know their figure would have been higher.
I’m guessing they did qualitative research which is taking a sample of xxx and asking them, if their xxx sample was where I sit, it would have been more like 50%, I hope that helps with your education, the next lesson in research will cost you. This one is free.
lol geoff your firing on all cylinders this morning! did anyone pick up on the rumour of us in for Bully and Hangeland at fulham? dont understand the former but hangeland would be perfect and quite cheap…
Song at the ACN???? even a broken clock is right twice per day
i thought it would be allot higher than 24% considering the backwards steps of the team! i agree with DDM.. what makes everyone think that just because we have a waiting list that the people on it are desperate watch the shit we currently put out every week.
Like the analogy Eduardo! I’d have Hangeland but not Bullard.
I hate smug people who try and correct me, especially when I make money out of the bit they correct me on.
Tom they should ask people on the waiting list if they’ll buy seasons, I’d like to know what that throws up!
Morning all
good post Geoff
I have already stopped booking the “grade A ” so called games as its a rip off
I would have paid the extra to see henry , bergy , pires etc but not now .
Arsene , if you want Arahavin ,fizmann has said repeatedly that there is money there
so stop fucking around and sign the bloke . or is that more lies , this will prove it I guess.
I can not stand this shit , if you really want to buy a house thats 300,000 ,
you wont get it for 150,000 so offer 250,000 and fucking sort it .
This is yet another one that we will here about in a year as someone we nearly bought when he is doing the business for someone else .
It doesnt matter if 50% dont renew there are 50,000 on teh waiting list
Broken clocks, blind sqirrels, fuck me the football fan’s I.Q is definitely improving.
eduard…o
yeah saw it this morning. I think it was mainly Roy Hodson saying that if we did enquire about Jim and Hangerland then, it would cost us……..he basically warning us off.
However, why is it us he’s worried about. He did not mention any other club in his statement…..perhaps he knows something we dont
You know that the average price of an Arsenal season ticket is approximately what the fuel bills are for a year for a small family home nowadays!
So Wenger is buying a house for £150k is he, the tight cunt. How’s that Steve, did I bring it down a level?
Joking aside Jules, great point mate.
Steve – Don’t forget also, that a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat in a snowstorm
DDM
next arsenal will be wanting all there fans to move into bigger houses ?
How could I forget that ddm??
Thank the lord for Ausgunner and his pearls of wisdom.
Glad he has got his finger on the Emirates pulse… and he is confident of renewals from the waiting list.
That survey seems to say more about football in general than about Arsenal specifically.
I was surprised to see Man Utd as the second highest percentage with 36!
Jules….agree re the Arshavin. Just buy him asap before Mourine pops a bid in their to fcuk up the price. We’ll only end up paying more or missing out.
As for matches……I’ve cut back on the games I go to see this season (Not last season – I went to every home game in the EPL and CL bar 2). I now only go to the grade A games as, Wenger usually selects the best squad available. I turned down Bolton tickets this weekend as they were £45……..£45 to see what. A fucking shit performance???? only a 1-0 in the last ten mins………….2,3 or even 4 years ago, I would have just said, well thats how it goes sometimes. Now, its every fcuking week that we scrape by.
Andrew that waiting list will disappear faster than Wenger’s transfer budget when they are asked to stump up their hard earned.
Ethan, I used to be a boxer, although I’m retired from the ring now I found I was sitting online all day & getting totally out of shape. I then had the oportunity of a couple of charity fights in America which I took up so I went out there for a few months.
You train aswell so you know how much it gets you down when you realise you’re letting yourself go a bit. I’m now feeling a whole lot better.
I got moobs once GMR, that’s when I knew it was time to go to the gym, trouble is beer doesn’t help, I did 9 hours in the gym last week, and didn’t lose an ounce, not one!
Yes Pedro, the power of the transatlantic mind must have a good signal. Unfortunately we can only gauge the feeling amongst the supporters by going every week. And wtf does Geoff know about marketing skills????
Giles Grimandi or Alex Song ?? Id take Song.
You should have fucked the gym off and had a good poo Geoff. Always works for me.
so what song got in the team of the tournament at the ACN…
anyone remember how good el hadji diouf was in the world cup before liverpool brought him!??!??!!
milan baros got the golden boot before as well, forget what he does for cameroon it counts for nothing
jules
Arsene , if you want Arahavin ,fizmann has said repeatedly that there is money there
so stop fucking around and sign the bloke . or is that more lies , this will prove it I guess.
i think it has already proved he/they have no money by offering zenit the pittance of 10 mil ..
6th best player in the world for 10 mil ! i think there is a big difference between being shrewd
and being retarded !
ethan – it’s a status thing fella – it’s all part of the “look at me, i have a big house, a fast car, a busty wife and an Arsenal Season Ticket…………………….!”
Remember in the last season at Highbury the club announced that they were freezing season ticket prices for a fixed number of years? was it 3 or 4 years?
Surely they would be chancing their arm in the current climate if they have the nerve to send out renewal forms with any hint of an uplift? Though I think they are so out of touch with us – if it hadn’t been for the struggle getting shot of the Highbury flats bringing the recession to their attention – they would probably be unaware of the problems facing us all.
i’d give song, that crate or is it empty bottle of gatorade and my right nut and swop for hangeland
I liked Grim Lewyd, sorry. Had a job to do in a top side and generally performed it very well. And managed to open up Simeone’s head. Top bloke in my book.
steve
TOO MUCH INFO MATE
Arsenalised,
As I said before, he works on the corporate side of things at the Emirates, so not exactly close to the footballing aspect of the club. However, as you’d expect, there are plenty of rumours that go around there, and the information they have is a bit better than what you get in the papers or on the street. Not always accurate, but it’s an interesting source nontheless.
They froze it for 1 year Archway. Mine went up at the start of last season.
Geoff -Andrew????
DDM
3 out of 4 aint bad then
Geoff – Aha! ‘Tis just appeared………
Andrew – Please see my 9.30 post.
Geoff /Wardo
Cheers guys . it is so annoying , the usual drawn out saga . it frustrates me so much
that we only need 2 or 3 good players to be challenging for everything so FUCKING DO IT !
If Fizmann said Arsene can spend 30 mill on 1 player if he chooses which he did repeatedly . spend 15 on Arshivin and get a quality defensive mid player and job done
OR WAS THAT A LIE FIZMANN !? Thats why I wont pay over the odds for fucking grade A tickets .
Geoff, I know that feeling, however I have stopped drinking beer sometime ago. I just stick with wine nowdays or port!! Not that its much better.
Share the wealth of knowledge ethan old son. If it saves 1 person from missing valuable drinking time by going to the gym then it is a life saved and my job is done.
Andrew – Besides, don’t forget that most of those mugs, sorry punters, were added to the waiting list when we were a competitive team feilding players like Henry, Pires etc etc………….it’s very very different now!
Yes GMR
age is creeping up on us all !
well one day once things are going smoothly ill get my ass back too the UK and catch up with you all and the fabled S&B .. i might even meet odub
ill be using Le exchange to grab myself some tickets and get blind drunk
and finally experience the ground known as cash burden grove
and see what all the fuss is about ..
and more importantly see if it was worth fucking up our team for the next 5 years because of the debt of it !
Steve….I mentioned that the other day. I clearly remember when Gilles punched (not a Hleb punch/slap) and floored Simeone……..it was fcuking awesome. It was when we were taking a corner.
I fcuking love Gilles for that…..I remember wondering if Beckham was watching. I hope so and I hope he enjoyed it.
Good point Ethan
just make s you think its all bollocks ( again) 10 mill !!!! please
I would tell Arsenal to fuck off too as you would if someone offerred 150 for
your 300 house !!
Brilliant news if yout poll is right. Means a lot of real fans can get a season ticket then.
ethan – pmsl fella, nice one
ethan, i have had a spare for most games this season (Odub has had it before), so if you are on your jack give me a shout. I often meet the boys at S+B too.
of course it went up last year – i have what is still the cheapest band of seats – i think i’m paying 950 quid which went up from 885. Surely PHW won’t be able to resist the urge to nudge that up to a grand. I remember what I used to pay on the clock end in the 90′s, i dont think anyone would have dreamt back then that the cheapest season ticket would be close to a grand… and rising.
hey Jules, also, AW said the team is 1-2% away from completion. We clearly need 2-3 players which, from a squad of 20 players, is roughly 15% short……..go and get 2-3 players.
If not, have I missed a point here. Is AW saying we are not far off competing. We are 1-2% away but that is ok……we’ll just stay here and battle for 4th place with AV and Everton
I’ve started hitting the gym again… nothing better than slaving down there and waking up feeling like a sack of shit!
Ethan, you need to pack in all that sun, birds and booze and get over to England… it’s much better!
I remember my first season ticket being in the upper east stand and costing approximately £280………..
DDM…..was Herbert Chapman in charge then?
jules
)
especially when old money bags man shitty is buzzing around after him ..
i mean lets face it he is the only TOP CLASS name available in this window , like i sort of thought
prior , i mean theres not a lot of movement this time of the season , ( unless your name is steve
so available names are pretty limited ..
my biggest worry is if we dont secure arshavin who will he get ?
who is really committed to a move at this time of the year ? without paying over the odds for them ?
like you said earlier just buy the fucker
stop screwin about ! we are desperate for quality and creativity ..
and as he is finding out , you dont get something for nothing …
morning all,
i read our total season ticket sales was about 40 million,correct me if i am wrong.however we weren’t in a recession eighteen months ago when it was blatently clear that some of the invinsibles were shipped out too early and our scrooge like transfer policy of bringing quality players in,dried up.
this therefore is not an overnight crisis and if we don’t bring in at least 3 quality players now, i can only see us going one way.the fans want players that give their all,excite them with good football.the likes of song,eboue and silvestre and bischoff are not the answer.
pedro
yes replace sun – birds and booze for
snow – bitches and …. well warm booze
Did anyone read that nicky leaked our lineup to his old buddy muamba way before kickoff on saturday.
Ethan the beer is always cold at the S+B, and the women fine (Well, after a few peroni’s)!
Sun is a problem though… we haven’t worked that side of it out yet! Maybe Ausgunner can help us out… he’ll know something…
78 quid including cup coupons west stand just left of centre in the 70′s.
Bothered arsenalised. As if Megson wouldn’t have had a fair idea anyway. Bet he said something like “When I get on I’m gonna bang one in Fabrice”. Probably totally innocent.
Wardo – he used to escort me to my seat
Bang on Ethan ang Wardo
fuck me , we got 6 for bentley and 5 for diarra so what is the problem ?!!!!!!
take that ,add a couple of mill sell eboue for 3 mill and Song for a specsavers voucher
and go and do the fucking deal !!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh !!
I have no idea what my first season ticket cost. The old man paid for it for about 10 years.
Kelsey / Steve ? DDm
how you doing guys ?
kelsey, you had to dodge the luftwaffe during your early visits to Highbury didn’t you??
Pedro
im not sure how to talk to an English bird anymore ..
my usual pick up line of ‘ so how much for how long ‘ probably wont work wonders in the UK
Not bad Jules old son. Just counting the days till this fucking transfer window closes.
morning all…
I had a lovely seat next to my dad as a kid – front row, on the half way line, East Upper…..at least i did, until one day, out of the blue the early 90s he told me to piss off and buy my own : (
Thats when i made my way down to the clock end….
Like it Ethan! I’m off for a bit, all that talk of the gym I’m afraid.
haha…spuds trying to get adriano, he will only cause them more problems
Steve:i thought so too on the innocent part and he almost banged one in when he came on with that header.
fuck off Steve
if it wasn’t for winston churchill we would be in the bundesliga 
Talk to them ethan???? That’s a new concept on me. Buy a nice motor and move to Essex, you won’t have to say a word.
Jules – I’m rabbid fella, rabbid for this nonsensical January ‘transfer’ window to end, so that AW & Co. can bore us yet again with their book of excuses as to why we didn’t buy yet again! Apart from that i’m tickety boo fella, yourself????
no what you mean Steve !
ssn till midnight on deadline day for fuck all again huh?
ha ha DDM……
Jules, fingers crossed then eh? We’re definately looking….I just hope the AArsenal Board and AW realise that CHEAP IS EXPENSIVE. It will cost a lot more if we fail on signings in this window. Song and Eboue are just not acceptable midfield players if you are challenging for honours in the EPL, CL, FAC etc………..
Everyone is getting sick of, we will only buy if its an exceptaional player that will improve the team. NO FUCKING SHIT SHERLOCK……….is there a manager out there that wants to buy a player that does not improve the team??? That’s why no one in the EPL will buy SONG
Morning all, one thing that occurs to me as a result of that survey is that since the cost of each clubs season ticket varies, then the percentage of a fans disposable income required to renew will vary. Basically an Arsenal season ticket, say at £3k p.a. will represent a bigger percentage outlay for a London based fan than for a Spud season ticket.
Therefore by that theory the spuds should have the lowest proportion of fans renewing as they live in a more affluent area. However as Hull season tickets are presumably cheap then they should be less effected by the overall increase in fans considering not renewing – BUT Hull fans are living in an area less affluent than most(£rd world if you ask me) therefore that may offset the cheap price of their season tickets.
Turning to the manks, as most of their support is London based then combined with their better performance on the field you’d think they would suffer the least from the downturn in season ticket renewals – but they are one of the ones suffering the most – cos they’re all glory hunters maybe ?
In summary, I’m struggling to understand how the 3 factors that influence season ticket renewals are combining, namely price, on-field performance and disposable income of the fan base.
My conclusion – I don’t understand !
L.O.L, nice comeback Kelsey.
I remember coming out of Paris after the CWC game which Nayim scored and the Arsenal fans singing at the heavy handed French Police “if it wasn’t for the english you’d be krauts”
In fairness, it’s not far off. If the frogs had put up that much resistance in the war we wouldn’t have needed to bail the fuckers out all the time.
Good DDM thanks .
Share your sentiments .
going skiing next week so will escape for a bit thank god !
Try my mate’s (!) line ethan – “any chance of chucking one up you”………………quality!
Chris:i always laugh when the spuds are linked with some “world class” alcoholic talent like like adriano they actually think they are a big important club.fuckers.
Bang on Wardo
just like the extra 3 mill we SHOULD have paid for Alsonso will end up costing us 20
if we fail to geta c l spot .
sell Song and Eboue for sake and raise ( a bit !) of cash and chuck that into the deal
if we are going to buy Arshavin, do it NOW, the season in Russia ended in Novemner so he will be weeks away from match fitness, buying him at the end of the month he won’t be ready to play till half way through February, what a waste of time!
Ethan, my brother will take you places where that line works… and it’s never over £15.
arsenalized it was rebuffed by his father, is on the skysports site
Steve….I went to that game in Paris. One of the French police squad took my flag off me and snapped the bamboo stick in it………couldn’t quite understand that. They were such pricks that day……..
fuck sake even !
Steve, what do you mean buy a nice motor?? Just phone up a Ferrari garage & tell them you want to put one of their cars through it’s paces prior to buying, they’ll let you have it for a day (providing you can prove you can afford it). Only trouble with Ferrari is they get all silly about their better models. Porsche can be somewhat easier!!
Guys
Have to go do some work
Have a good day all
Ethan , try that line with staring at nothing but here tits whilst talking .
you,ll be fine mate !
Wasn’t Adriano being touted for free at the start of the season??? I’m sure West Ham were offered him on loan.
jules, I agree the ‘speculate to accumulate’ saying has never been more suitable.
DDM
nice one
ill have too pull out a few from the past like
I’m as confused as a baby in a topless bar…. can i practice on you ?
Was well scared when i heard little jack wonder was injured!! Have a feeling he will get more playing time in the comign months.
GMR, I wonder if that’s what CR7 said to Ferrari. I haven’t played the dating game for years so I’m out of practice. Back in my day we just clubbed then over the noggin and dragged them back to the cave.
even if season ticket price remain the saem, cost of traveling and other costs tht are there to watch a single match would hamper this renewing process
Steve – i remember the PSG game at Parc des Princes the season before – they kept us outside the ground until after kick off just to piss off the travelling support.
That song started up “if it wasn’t for the english”, i remember two pissed up lads taking the piss out of the CRS (French military police – those fuckers with the sub-machine guns!) he was humming the Thunderbirds song and moving like a puppet taking the piss out of their little Thunderbird style hats, literally 2 inches away from the policeman’s face – the thing is unlike our police the CRS don’t phuck about (i worked in Paris for 3 years and they are serious bastards) – the gooner was face down on the pavement with his arms behind his back before he got past the second “dum, der der der”
Well after nearly 30 years as a Season Ticket holder, this will also be my last season. The passion for the club has not lessoned but a host of other reasons (mostly the cost) has meant that I barely re-newed over the last two season and definitely will not be re-newing after this. I’d best get on and enjoy the last few games ;o(
The only way out of it is to buy the ticket and let some-one else use it for a season or two. Any takers?
AJ
and buyin might keep this figure below or else dishearted fans will also opt not to renew the ST
Morning. Just got a few minutes so…
Moobs ….. took me ages to figure that out. Must have been living outside the UK for too long. Love it !!
And Paris. When we all came out and the police were lined up in their thousands, our mob were joined in the ‘kraut’ song and then something about Thunderbird puppets. Damned funny after such a shite evening.
Bastards deserved it. We were kept back over an hour, and missed the last train back into town.
And I still don’t forgive Seamo….. The piss taking when I got back to work was terrible
I wouldn’t sell anyone this window. not unless someone offered us big money for an average player anyway. But importantly, neither would I play Eboue and Song every time they are fit. for me they would be back-up players. that means if there is a huge injury crisis then they might get the odd game, but not every sodding week. they should be sold in the summer when we can replace them in terms of bodies in the squad.
Strange Archway !! We must have been in the same section !!
Ooops – must concentrate more. You were talking of the PSG game, which I missed !
I was an Archway Gunner as well. An N19 boy.
DDM
i have a 1000 of them …i just dont feel the need to use them here
not that most of the thai birds here would understand
1. Did you clean your pants with Windex? I can practically see myself in them.
2.Hey babe, wanna make an easy fifty bucks?
3.I am conducting a field test of how many woman have pierced nipples.
4.Pardon me, are you in heat?!
5.Stand back, I’m a doctor. You go get an ambulance, I’ll loosen her clothes.
6.Would you like to come over to my place later? You can bring some friends because my face seats 4
7.You’re so hot you melt the plastic in my underwear.
8.Baby, I’m no Fred Flintstone, but I can make your Bedrock!
They started firing tear gas after the CWC final, the dirty fuckers. Irony is, when Hitler marched into town they gave the cunt the keys. Tossers.
It was even worse at the Lens game some years later.
ive even got one for steve to use
i took 2 laxatives along with my prozac this morning . i cant get off the toilet but i feel fucking good about it
HAHAHAHA
Pierre; arseshavin
Spot on mate, should ave been signed,sealed,and
delivered. Said that at the start of the window, which makes me
think its all bollocks, the mans a tightwad i say it again spend our
fucking money before its to late
I hear we are going for Nik Nak and Verne from BB to shore up our defence and midfield.
ALL,
from footylatest.com
According to press reports in both Italy and the UK Arsenal are very close to securing the signature of Lazio defender Mobido Diakite
Pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls be the day that we actually start signing.
I wore a goalkeeping top and a David Seaman moustache for the CWC Final in Paris.
Boy did i feel a c*nt on the way home.
(felt a bit of a c*nt on the way there too – truth be known)
Raddy – how funny!
Bad memories of finals in Paris. Remember after Nayim’s winner feeling so numb, i swear to god the woman next to me put her arm around me and said “don”t worry we’ll fuck em over in the replay” – i was shocked that somebody would have made the journey over from england and didn’t even understand the format of the competition!
More recently, we all were broken hearted and sick in 2006 – but not as much as one poor Gooner outside Stade de France. Does anyone remember the lad who tried to scale the fence before kickoff without a ticket and got the spike stuck through his leg? There were medics propping him up so he wouldn’t fall as he drifted in and out of conciousness – it was horrible stuff. Not helped by a sea of people filiming it on their phones. Poor lad – had he known the result he would have stayed in the Frog & Rosbeef and watched it on TV!
A mate of mine came with us without a ticket and ended up in a big fight in the Frog and Roastbeef. Some prick tried to smash the telly they were watching the game on.
Wardo
Another name no one can pronouce especialy if you have a stutter
Archway Gooner……..I was only 15 when we lost the CWC in paris. My parents had saved £600 for me to put towards a car in an endownment scheme which, I matured at 15 to go and see the gunners………after the match, I was on the metro and some French fella came up to me saying “Arsenal Merde! Arsenal Merde” he then started to prod and push me…….I thought to myself, “fcuk me! I’m gonna get a kick in as well….”
Still, some Arsenal fans, before the match, were so pissed they had fallen alseep in the street outside the stadium…….does anyone know anyone that did that??
Wardo, all I remember was the shit state of the stadium and the fact that there was loads of Neo Nazis over there. I saw a couple of ticket touts get a right shoeing before the game and had their tickets robbed.
I think the comment about checking out this website was a bit tongue in cheek Eddy.
Morning All –
Eddy, re your comment, you spelt Geoff’s name wrong…. !!
who is jeff?
Eddy – go back and read some old Le Grove blogs, you will see that neither of its authors wants bad news for the club, honest. They as all of us are fans to the core and just want two or three class players in, and show the door to Song and Eboue.
we must have money to spend because imagine Diarra, Bentley and Muamba etc has not been sold then we wouldn’t have got all those sell on deals. so thats bonus money and I think is more than we are bidding for Arshavin.
If we really are that skint then you can understand why edelman was sacked because we shouldn’t be this poor given our turnover. perhaps we should pay 15% less in wages and save ourselves £30m per season. loads of our players would never get close to earning those amounts at another club.
eddy
if you cant read past the sarcasm
then you indeed are a sad little man !
and yes as fans most will say here i told you so ,as we were the only blog pre – season who
felt we needed to rattle some cages .. or had enough foresight to see the impending doom which awaited … people only started getting on our band wagon once the games got underway ..
and the losses too fulham etc .
most blogs pre – season didnt concur with us at all that we needed replacements most told us to have faith in wenger he has guided us well to this stage ..
so a big i told you so is definitely in order , as from getting joy for arsenals bad display this season its hard too feel too much compassion for le boss or the board as you sow what you reap .
The Frog & Rosbeef and the other pubs are usually well manned on the doors – though i remember drinking in my pub at the time The Bowler just off the Champs Elyses. It was a great pub but it became popular with english teams who were playing in paris or auxerre. It was actually a bit of a gooner pub as most of the french at that time loved arsenal and would come in to watch all the arsenal games on sky in their shirts.
I remember one quiet tuesday night sitting at the bar with an everton supporting mate and the barman. The door swung open and 10 scousers walked in, seeing there was no doorstaff called a mate… within 15 minutes there where 30 odd scousers singing. They were playing Auxerre the following night in the champions league. They were serious scum though these lads, all abusive, all in their early 40′s head to toe Stone Island etc – one opened a big sports bag (and they wonder where the stereotype comes from!) and offered me and my mate loads of lacoste polos, aftershave etc – he was dead proud of their afternoons work robbing the paris stores.
Call it naive or just pissed… but when it came to closing time and they refused to leave, threatening my barman pal i announced that i would take them to another bar open till 6am. They said that they wouldnt go anywhere if there was a bouncer on as they wouldnt get in, i told them there were none as there usually wasnt – off we marched down Rue Artois – them all singing “London Bridge is falling down, poor old cockneys” and making various remarks about the Arsenal… we turned the corner and phuck me there were 4 bouncers on the door – i upped the pace and begged in french for the blokes to let me in. They did and obviously not the scousers – i spent the next 40 minutes at the bar drinking with my evertonian mate, as 30 scousers stood outside the windows of this otherwise empty pub shouting “come out cockney!” and doing various cut-throat gestures! Nice!
Yes Eddy, my last has done that, but maybe if you read it properly you would have noticed the spelling…..
But my comment too was tongue in cheek as I totally disagree with your view
the article talks about considering giving up STs not WILL give up. I bet less than half of those who said yes will actually give them up, especially if we buy a player like Arshavin. But saying that you are considering it gives a message to the board and these days surveys like this are the only way to communicate with the board that you are unhappy.
Is it school holidays by any chance……
ethan – all quality stuff mate, but you might wanna try “i’d look good hanging outta the back of you”………….
dangerous – that is way out of order, why come over here and be so insulting and foul mouthed, i suggest you stick to posting on your usual blog which accepts such comments….
dennissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
eddy… GEOFF and pedro only say that wenger should pay attention because they have been proved right. fair play other sites may have written similar things but a huge amount of other sites came on here telling everyone they didnt know what we were talking about, those blogs are know singing the same tune.
everyone on here wants whats best for arsenal, geoff is a share holder so i doubt he likes the bad news any more than the rest of us!
PSG are known for their Neo Nazi support. Hence the ‘Boulogne Boys’ and their ridiculous “PSG!” chants followed by raising their right arms….
They are despised through out france – especially in Marseilles where PSG’s travelling thugs regularly get the kicking they so thoroughly deserve from Marseilles mostly North African fan base.
Not a nice memory for you Wardo – though there are scum in every clubs support – dare i say it even ours!
dangerous
can i hear the knocking at your door ?
if you think that the average family will pay 3000 quid a year a person to watch another repeat of this season then the only fickle prick is you ! 3k buys a lot of beer !
i bet you only 0.0015% of knob ends like you will not give up your season tickets either ,
so at least we agree on something ..
Wengers youth experiment is an attempt to revolutionize football, so why not give the man a chance? If you look at the prices for footballers these days, i dont think FIFA will alow these spending spreas for much longer, and if they decide to put limits on how much teams can spend on players then we will be all thankful that he didnt just throw money all over the place. I dont think we will find a more serious and realistic manager than Wenger, that actually has a care for the team…
DDM
i can always rely on you too charm them
ethan
well said rico!
Archway- Thats why OM and PSG meets get so intense, OM are a team with fans that are know to be tolerent from the vibrant cultures you find around the Med, Fuck PSG they are a racist team!!
nice lines DDM
This site is for reasonable debate, not for idiots with the IQ of a ten year old to slag others off, get your point across without having to resort to insults, that’s what sets true Gooners apart from the retards of the world, get my frift Dangerous, or should i dumb it down to single syllable words?
I think we are all disgrunted since we thought that we would have won the EPL last year, but it didnt happen… So you would expect to not change the team too much and win this year, which is not happening…
Hey rico, didn’t see you there babe
Tom – it makes me so cross, I have been reading this morning but a bit busy, but some of you guys have been posting naughty stuff in relation to the female gender, but its funny as deep down I know that its just fun and I am sure that none of you would talk to a woman in such a way and I dont get upset or narked about the fun stuff. But when bloogers like we have just had come on and start ‘f-in’ and ‘jeffin’ (no pun intended) and remark on something they know little about, then that cheeses me off big time – they obviously havent read many of Geoff and Pedro’s blogs otherwise they would know that they and we all want the best for AFC…..
Sorry, rant over
eddy
‘If the cap fits’ as the saying goes……
ethan – always a pleasure, never a chore fella
No worries dennis, how you doing, hackles up ?
ATom – We aim to please fella
spot on again rico… its all just a bit of fun on here.
your golden boy scored again on the weekend!! you still hoping?
Howdy all,
Nice post,again Geoff. I see GMR is back. No word on Arswaxin yet then
who done that survey?? i never got asked either,24% but i think 10% of them will talk that talk but wont back it up,their cheque books will fly open because once its gone its gone
Hey ricolicious (!) – not bad thanks, you?
PS. The Hackles are on standby
Eddy
sorry mate all i can hear is blah blah blah …
i think its pretty rude to come on here and insult the author dont you ?
sorry if im the only one who has a fucking problem with it !
especially if you were intelligent enough to realize , GEOFF has already said he is going too the gym and is not here to defend himself from cheap shot low lifes like you …
fuck off to ACLF ! they love minorities like yourself ..
and im serious …
you can blow wind up each others backsides all afternoon ….
and by the sound of you , im sure you will love it !!!
also hang off our rico ! she is our LADY of le grove and doesnt need any more grief in her life other than DDM
oh and me
Geoff how much do you pay for a seat @ The Emirates, £5,000 plus. Membership of the MCC (Melbourne Cricket Club) is $350/annum. This ticketing structure @ The Arsenal is bloody high if you ask me. I know footballers over there demand outrageous salaries, but it seems the fans are the “cash cows” for this club. No wonder you quote the figure of 24% down.
dennis – i’m good thanks, not sure i have seen that word before, must go study for an English degree
Tom, i live in hope re David Villa, and Simpson scored a corker last night I read, hope he continues in the same way..
eddy- how else are they going to make a statement to the board, its not like there is a segestion box anywhere…
dangerous – hoorah, bye bye, please take eddy with you!!
dangerous- good thing we all have different view no, so lets debate them in a sensable manner..
dangerous/eddy
ethan is a Le Grover from way back, & he will defend this site like, well, like a bear guarding her cubs.
ethan – just read your last – that is so very funny, and thanks
A DDMD would be more appropriate rico, that’s a Dennis Da Menace Degree in bollox talking and aggitational posturings…………….Chaaaaaaaamon Babe
Eddy…….mate, all I’m gonna say is your point as an Arsenal fan is welcome. We should be positive and please, get your points across.
But, can you please try not insult people. A difference of opinion occurs frequently but, please just get your point across without name calling……..
Dangerous, good man for apologising. Bad language and name calling will not make people read you comments. It have a negative impact.
Hey Eddy, do you still get free milk at school?
no im calling him a prick for ripping into geoff !
a man who provides the very blog your degrading him on !
im sure you will be banned when he gets back from the iron room so get your cheap ass shots in whilst you can !
and yes i dont have a problem with people paying money too see arsenal …
what ever floats your boat ! i have a problem with people coming on hear ripping into the author in a rude and non constructive manner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if your lined with cash sure go ahead its still a free country .. get your season ticket ..
but i think some fans are going to boycott arsenal until the standard of football improves !
and i share that view !
a great number of punters are waiting until the end of the season before they re evaluate
the situation .. and that should see the % increase !
because i tell you now we will be lucky to remain in the top 4 come the end of the season !
dennis – you are so bad, but how do i apply for that course please
rico,
morning any help required just give me a bell.i am always here for you,must get out of the sun its bloody hot today
Cross my palm with silver missy
Arsenal’s second bid of £12m for Zenit St Petersburg’s star Andrei Arshavin is set to be rejected but a move could happen next week.
link from news now(http://www.eatsleepsport.com/arsenal/second-arshavin-bid-be-blocked-840489.html)
geez… people..
eddy/dangerous.. if you must.. discuss in a normal way.. name calling and abusing is not the way to go..
put your points forward… and let people know what you think.
The worst way to start a discussion is to abuse them!!
Calm down and try again!!
kelsey – hows tricks, you make sure you get the sun cream on before you go basking in the sunshine
eddy… no ones advocating not renewing a season ticket, they just asked where the figures came from.
this is a very opinionated site (by the people commenting as well as the authors), its a place where everyone comes to say what they THINK not ultimately what is fact or truth its like being in the boozer… if your opinion differs dont run off to another site why not stay and get your point across… you’ll soon be welcomed in if you behave well.
i read arseblog and have done for a year or so… theres no reason why you can only like one!!!
Grovers I’m back, sorry about those two pricks, I don’t know how they got on, but they’re off now, AKB’s, wankers, it must be a school holiday.
Obviously Arswaxin hasn’t signed. other wise the schoolies that came on here would be talking about how to get an arswaxin footy card signed in the arsenal kit, instead of throwing cheap shots @ The Bear , CHAAAAAMONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The survey just reflects the general dropping-off of interest in the Premier League – the real way to see it is that Arsenal are actually in a relatively strong position with loyalty levels, particularly given the price of the tickets – better than Spurs, Chelsea, Utd, Villa, Liverpool etc.
The Premiership bubble is going to burst big-time over the next year and half – clubs are currently valued on expectations of TV rights which aren’t going to keep going up, and unsustainable as business models. Signing or no signings, Arsenal have remained competitive during this period without breaking the bank, and as clubs fall around them they’ll remain steady.
It’s also only ‘considering’ not renewing. This is far from saying ‘definitely not renewing’, and even further away from saying the stadiums won’t be full…
ethan the thing is its ticket prices and the fact that the money taken from seasosn tickets isnt used to boost the team as often as at other clubs thats the problem,jumping ship because of the standard of football isnt a good reason to stay away,thats not exactly support
Geoff your back old bear, I mean old boy. I see GMR is active again on here.
geoff dont mention these guys in your post. why to give a shit abt them
and ethan,
if i may add this site is done for love of the arsenal fans,no gimmicks,no adverts,a freedom of speech without the abuse you get on most sites.
arseblog,just read the comments on there,they are straight out of the playground,junior school, with the very occasional sentence about football. don’t believe me,read it yourself.what a strange comparison to le grove.
Looks like I missed some action here today….
gnarley, you bad lad, no EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE’s please
…..is arseblog the site where everyone says arse during their comments? Sounds a bit sus to me
if you know what I mean.
For the record, Geoff, great post -you are right on all the points you made about the season tickets. It’s time the board woke up and realised that they are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE’s are good DDM you should try them
GEOFF,let me just ask you,are you considering not renewing your season tickets next season??
gnarley
yeah it is, its a good site to read (has plenty of links to us in the news) but the comments section is worthless.
Gnarley I think he generates them himself to look busy, you don’t see them on any other blogs.
Those two pricks won’t be back, although they’re trying to, and I went back and wiped all their previous off, so they wasted a morning.
I don’t think anyone here wants anything but success and good times for our beloved club.
It has nothing to do with fickle fans etc – this is a hard time for everyone. People giving up / not giving up tickets in my opinion has niche to do with us falling behind our rivals – it is a case of weighing up your priorities.
As i have mentioned on here before, i was recently made redundant from my job, thats now twice in 6 months. I will be renewing my season ticket as i know i’ll be able to get the money together. I do not have kids, mortgage to worry about. However i am aware that this is far from the situation of many fans – married, kids, mortgage, other debts, bills. It is for this reason why i would NEVER question a fellow gooner’s decision to not renew. There are some fans out there facing some really phucking shit times at the moment.
BTW, someone said some nasty stuff about ACLF. I think they are OK, not as passionate as this site, and obviously, they dont have the same reach, but they are fans (probably club level or have boxes).
gnarley – Are you trying to entice me over to the dark side
Kelsey….gonna read it now.
Archway, you put it very well. This is a tough year and the next one will not be very much better. The board needs to understand that there is no point saving for a rainy day because the rains are here and it’s a bloody typhoon!
DDM, Read & learn
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chamone
Bergkamp yes I am thinking hard, after 30 odd years of having one – I hate the way the stewards treat us, it’s like they’re bouncers at night clubs, and if you argue, they call the police and get you thrown out.
I’m getting to the point where I may take the law into my own hands, and I don’t go to matches for that, I’m a fan, I go to enjoy myself.
Add that to watching a team that will win fuck all and it’s got me thinking.
I would take the abuse if we had a great side, it would be worth the £5k I pay a season for my tickets.
I hope that answers your question mate.
Geoff, you love the Arsenal too much. No way you will give up your season ticket because you are upset.
That’s true about all fans, We will give up our tickets only if we dont have the money, and many of us are heading in that direction.
gnarley – I’ll see your link and raise you………..
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chamon
geoff,it does answer my questions,but i think your like me geoff,your an addict,only absolute hard times could keep you away,geoff the question is will you tear up your renewal form and not hold a single regret? dont get me wrong iv considered it and i dont pay 5k a ticket,i got two £1000 tickets but if i cancelled them id probably never get up the waitin list again,i dunno if you can not buy yours for a year and not lose it completely due to bond holders schemes and all that,but i just know its risky to not renew
Kelsey……read a few comments. Something about Danny Devito. wtf that has to do with Arsenal. Did you read those comments??? Geoff would have banned that subject with very very good reason.
Yeah but PDT these stewards are like what I imagine the secret police were like in Eastern Europe, they call for the cameras to be put on you if you stand up, it’s bollocks, all you want to do is throw the bastards off the balcony, and when you feel that way, maybe it’s time to give in and let Arsenal bring in the sheep they so like, similar to those two wankers we had on here, ask them to stump up though and they’d run a fucking mile!
I think we have to send a message before it changes. I watched two away games on my mac and it was great, no cunt told me to sit down and watch my language when we scored! And I could drink whilst watching.
Bergkamp I pay £5k for two but it’s probably proportionally the same as you pay.
I don’t think waiting lists will happen again, but I do like my seat, I was the first one to choose in my block.
Wardo who said what and to whom?
Geoff, the blog stats off bout some hatch monster in a dream or something……wtf!!! then spouts something shite bout, nothing to report on Arshavin…..I went straight to the comments as the blog didn’t really grab me…….1st comment below
“Danny Devito is in it, but in a separate scene a character lies about being sexually abused by a former teacher, and is made to point out on a doll where he was touched – in front of all his family and friends, who are supporting his bravery.”
couldn’t really relate the above to football……….general web chat
i would love to change my seat,row 7 right behind the goal im think fuck were in the 6 yard box then when i put on match of the day we were actually on the halfway line, if people do drop out i wanna move back 10 rows,thats one benefit for me,i cant not buy my season ticket,i would regret it bigtime massively,even if we got relegated,im superstitious,same turnstyle,same scarf,same seat of the 2,arsenal is like a wife i can not divorce,givin up smoking was easy compared to givin up my ticket
i think iv saved 3k a year by givin up smoking and i was pleanning on treating myself by movin seats up in the world,how did it get this bad considering non renewals , i say bring in the ass shaver and make sure kolo never leaves because of a gallas,il renew every time without doubt
your spot on though,i think the waiting lists will shrink and people will stick to just memeberships and odd games here and there
Wardo, some weird shit going on there then!
Bergkamp, I’m the front row on the first balcony in between the corner flag and the goal, fantastic view, and I have the end two seats by the stairs so easy access and I don’t have to say excuse me.
I haven’t given up cigars though so can’t relate to that bit!
Geoff
It sounds like The Emirates suffers from political correctness.
I remember sitting on the North Bank terrace with my mate from here in thesummer of ’81 & an official (God knows who he was) but he allowed to have a private tour of the Club, etc. Anyway, I asked why didn’t Arsenal have the big steel barriers that all the other clubs had to stop the nutters from getting on the pitch, etc. & his reply was Arsenals theory is if you treat people like animals they will behave like animals”, hence none of that Tottenham/Liverwurst etc crowd control.
Now its sounds like its going the other way from what you tell us
Maybe you should hang in there with your ticket until the Tories get in @ the next election & political correctness will be out thye door like spuds will be out of the Premier League
Labor = wimpy thinking.
Me and my brother are seriously considering not renewing, but i did say to him it might not be a bad idea to let someone else have our two seats, as they are together, and we would keep the registrations. That way in two or three years time when the current management have fucked off and we become a football club again we can reclaim our seats………..
hey
Geoff, you should set up an ‘arsenal members club’ somewhere you hook your computer up to projector or big screen and get all the grovers in there for a few beers and to watch games… £5 entry to cover costs everyones a winner!
Gnarley it’s the disdain that Arsenal and the board have for the fan, it’s the same in the boxes, we’re all cunts.
Geoff some of my comments wont appear
Dennis, you had better know then then as they are non-transferrable.
Tom they would shut us down in a heartbeat! greedy cunts.
Franchise there’s nothing in awaiting moderation???
Hi guys
Morning first lady….. Rico for those that dont know. Good job guys on defending LeGrove. I have been on since 11am had to do my customary ‘all comments read’ and it took me an hour
That Edy guy was a prick. He comes on thinking he is a better person or smart ass cos he doesnt agree to the article. As for Dangeros grow up, u wouldnt have had the balls to face up to Geoff in the manner u did if it werent for this faceless society called the internet.
Anyways….. Interesting post Geoff. Just to add that Ive wanted to buy a car for the last 6 months but not really sure if I needed one cos I live around west hampstead with a good bus, rail and tube network. As the days go by im beginning to consider seriously if i really need one. I’m a contracting software engineer and bcos of the unavailablity of jobs and the economic downturn I would rather sit on the cash than splash it on a car.
If I were a season ticket holder I would definitely not be renewing this season. I wont want to fork out my hard earned dosh and end up watching a team that is far from entertaining. The economic climate is bad enough to make my mind up on this one.
U are 100% correct with ur article.
lol geoff the funny thing is i picked the 2 end seast on row seven because of easy access, all the others were like in the middle of the masses, now i wish id took a less accessible seat nearer the back,it takes 15 minutes to get out at the end of games and a million people a game turn up 5 minutes late after kick off and leave 5 minutes early before half time,and come back 5 minutes late after half time, im not a moaner but it can get shyt the same pricks every time,oh and a mill is a bit of an exageration
geoff… only if they knew about it!
Geoff – i Know it’s a bit of a gamble, but my brother’s ticket has been in someone elses name for the past five years!!!!
Its strange i took one ‘d’ out of Edy and ‘u’ out of Dangeros and the comment sails through. Did u ban those words Geoff???
the seats upstairs are amazing though,you lot can see the formations movin side to side geoff,and you saw wat a genius hleb was up there,down in my seats its rip your hair out business coz everything looks a pile,they need to give us all 3d glasses down there or show us the yards like american football,the pitch is kind of slopedfrom the middle outwards so you never know a thing at pitch level
Dennis Bergkamp “would not rule out” returning to Arsenal as a coach.
The legendary striker ended his illustrious career in July 2006 with a star-studded testimonial at Emirates Stadium. He has since joined the backroom staff at Ajax and begun gaining his coach qualifications. Part of that education took him back to Arsenal’s Training Ground before Christmas and, if asked, the 39-year-old would consider making a permanent return.
“I wouldn’t rule out [working at Arsenal in some capacity],” he told “Bob Wilson Meets…” on Arsenal TV.
“I really love this club and the country and I love working here. I would advise everyone to work in England, as a player or a coach, it just breathes football. It is fantastic for the game.”
And crucially the Dutchman, who scored 120 goals in 423 games after signing from Inter in 1996, believes that many modern English players have better technique than some of their foreign colleagues in the Premier League.
“I think when I first came it was a case that [there was a lack of technical ability],” he said. “Then a lot of foreign players came in and probably improved the game.
“Now I feel that there are foreign players who are coming in who aren’t improving the game because you’ve got English players who are technically better.
“It has changed. If you only look at Arsenal for example, you have 16-year-olds with fantastic technique who came through the system so you must be doing something right.”
Franchise- I’ve just payed for the Insurence for my car and it killed me, furthermoe i keep getting speeding fines and my car is in the garage right now being worked on by some dumb muppets that will try to rip me off tomorrow. If you dont need a car, dont get one, the value goes down once you buy it and all you do is spend money. I’m not an advocate of public transport at all but if you dont wan t to spend on a car, dont get one..
you know you get 2 season tickets if you work full time in the arsenal shop, everyone should addopt an 18 year old and make 30 applications to each of the gunners shops
Wardo,
told you.waste of space.
going back to now the recession is actually a depression,no one will escape it.sky have still got the rights for another few years,so the clubs think they are safe,but the knock on effect is already happening.did you see wigan v spurs,half empty stadium.the point is that all this could have been avided with a little foresight.the media used to say we play beautiful football but win nothing(the last 3 years0 now quite honestly it is an ordeal watching some of the players in the side,a team that was top of the league a year ago.our expectations are high and we have money so why don’t we use it before we go into mid table mediocracy
first bad move was letting simpson go.it’s last chance saloon,this month to rescue our season.let’s see some passion from the players and how many times does one need to see we need some quality.it’s frustrating to say the least.
Thanks Rasdef it scares me a bit with all the staff lay offs in the past few days even the local councils are laying off staff in large nos. Im still contracted for the short term Im a bit worried about how the market would be when Im out of contract. Getting a car is definitely out of the question now. Worrying times eh????
Thanks for that Franchise. No mate I have their names and IP addresses, they won’t get back on.
wigan always have a half empty stadium though
What ever happened to El Tel?
geoff – idont have a single idea of how this ticket thing work – can any one tell me is it all 60k (minus away reservation) booked for season
and secondly does this season ticket includes away tikets as well
el tel just done a dissapearing,no one else wanted a used car salesman at their club,they rather get relegated by the other used car salesman harry
He got a job that was nights and couldn’t get online from it, he did try though.
I can only assume he hasn’t the means anymore, shame I liked him, the only decent steward, well apart from Angela that it.
no,its about 40thousand season tickets,and they only include champions league and f.a cup pak,no away games,them tickets are owned by the oposition
oh lol,you dont mean the real el tel
Geoff if I type in
e d d y
or
d a n g e r o u s
without the spaces my comments dont appear. was just debugging why my previous post didnt appear.
Anyone else can try it. Thats why i asked if u blocked the words Geoff
the clock end had the worst muppet steward of them all,thats the one reason i was glad to move to the emirates, he was about the only steward in highbury who didnt take the job just to watch the games,now it seems these new stewards are pratts the lot of them,they dont even help the blind get to their seats,or tell people where to go, they just talk this sit down bollocks even telling people if they sing they can stand up lol

Yes franchise, I blocked their names as well.
This was interesting about Ramsey.
There is already a growing feeling among Arsenal fans – not to mention influential members of the London-based football press – that Ramsey is a better bet in central midfield than his rivals Denilson, Alexandre Song and Abou Diaby.
And now Ramsey has won the backing of a strong voice in the Arsenal dressing-room – injured captain Cesc Fabregas.
The silky Spaniard won’t return until April after suffering a serious knee injury against Liverpool last month and he believes the young Welshman will get plenty of opportunities to impress in his absence.
“I thought Aaron did well in the last round of the cup against Plymouth,” said Fabregas.
“He is a very, very good player and I’m sure he will be getting more chances over the next few weeks because of my injury.
“He will get the opportunities and it’s up to him to make the most of them.
“He’s a very dedicated guy, you can see that in the way he trains and plays.
“He always gives his best, always gives 100 per cent, so I’m sure he will do really well because he really loves football.
Geoff dont you think its essential that we start touring the world (Asia & America) during preseason? Mancs and others do it and they still finish above us anyway so why not raise more funds this way. All that Arsene jetlag talk is bollox IMO. I bet Gazidis would introduce and try to push through such proposals. Madrid and United make at least twice as much as we do (I bet more) from merchandising
start nasri in the center, vela on left….replace vela with ramsey and nasri switching his position…no pressure on youth as arsene says
The Menace Has Spoke!
Well dennis it looks like it’s me and thee again fella………
seem confused menace..
Very true dennis, but lo, is that a crate of Peronis i see tucked undeneath your chubby little arm my little squat chum?
‘Tis true dennis, fancy a cold one?
Do birds shit in the woods dennis?
rasdef… this is very normal for dennis mate…
Ras, sorry fella, didn’t see you there, fancy a cold one, dennis is buying………
:@
ATom – Welcome to the dennis ‘n’ dennis show, sponsored by Peroni
Geoff,
Bit of friendly advice if you are seriously thinking of giving up your tickets, i like you gave up mine this season although i didnt have mine as long only about 20 years!! And yes there are certain times i miss going eg Tottenham at home etc and no doubt thats when it will hit home what youve done but at other times i think it was the best thing ive done i still have the same routine for each home game but instead of walking into that corporate bowl with the in house gestapo i now toddle off to one of the many pubs that are showing the game at which i can drink swear sing and have a much better MATCH DAY EXPERIENCE as its now called.I will also go on to say that the number of people that are now doing this is rising game by game with many of my friends just selling there match tickets and joining me in the Pub !!
I hope you boys have brought some booze, and are not gonna end up being bloody freeloaders again……………..Chaaaaaaaaaaaamon Gnarley
Sure ill have a quick one, but i got to go help my mama. i think we will hear about Ash signing for us by the end of the week, til next time people!
Wot Ho Chippy – I kinda agree with that setiment fella, i’m enjoying the pre-match and post-match shenanigans more so than the actual match these days…….
Cheers Ras, leave the bottle opener on the table though fella, no bindippers around here you know!
dennis… and what a show it is mate… oscar winning performance old son!
Hi Dennis
They were my thoughts exactly i was spending a fortune a season on the ticket but when i was actually in the ground i couldnt wait to get out of it and back in the pub !!! I know some will think its got too do with the quality of the side at the moment but that couldnt be further from the truth ive gone through our bad periods but at that time it didnt matter as The Arsenal were a special club and we were all in it together for the long haul but over the years the club has moved further and further away from what it stood for and is slowly becoming just another americanised brand !
Well you know us Hall-of-Famers have standards to keep up old chum…….Tickets Please!
DDM
skimping on the medication again i see
well you the bonus in being schizophrenic dont you ?
your never lonely
Hi, as i am from Australia can any1 tell me the average price of a season ticket and what it includes overall. Also can sum1 tell me the average price of a single ticket???
plzzzz
well you know the bonus …
absolutely… glad to see your flying the flag!
our arshavin deal is starting to look a bit small time next to those man fucks with their 100m kaka business…guess we know why they wernt after andrei no tho!
Chippy – I couldn’t agree more, i’ve been through many many dire seasons, watching such poor players, too many to list here. The difference now is how we (the fans) are treated, not just on matchdays by the stewards, but also by the management of the club, the constant bollox surround almost every aspect of the club, even down to the nonsensical attendance announcements on matchdays, overall the fact is that this club is losing the special feeling it used to ALWAYS have…….
they dont ship Peroni here , so im missing out ! MAYBE….
but a pint of Guinness will have too do !
Afternoon Geoff, Hmm very interesting article. I am myself thinking about next season already, credit crunch etc., but I think that it will seriously depend on:
a) who we buy (if any) in the January window
b) how much more it is going to cost me – against current season
but, knowing me, I probably find the money somehow, beacuse I so enjoy going to the games, I love the ”camaraderie”, the group I sit with, the boys that sing in the ”North Stand/Clock End” and the fact I sit so close to the pitch (4 rows in), close enough to slap Cashley on the head as he runs past…….
Arshavin; if AFC dilly dally on this one and loose out to that Portugese minger I will be bl**dy pi**ed off!!! I want him!!(in the team I mean) so, I shall stay very very postive.
ethan – both myself and dennis would like to thank you for that sentiment
Skandi I still think we’ll sign him.
Grovers those two pencil dicks have been trying to get on using your assorted names, what a pair of retards!
They hate us so much they’ve spent all day stalking us, ha, ha.
well back too the wifey ..
good too see Geoff is back lurking the bowels of the wordpress engine room ..
im givin it all she’s got captain !
all the tossers are gone ?..
goood !!!!! goood!!!!!
it must make them so pissed orf to read what we all wrote about them ..
yet now they cant respond !
———————————
god ! i bet that fuckin hate it !!!
and god dont i just fuckin love it
ANDREW DICE CLAY .
god ! i bet that they fuckin hate it !!!
and god dont i just fuckin love it
ANDREW DICE CLAY .
im suffering from dyslexia !!!!
I think they must be lacking in the ‘man’ department Ethan, I can’t think why else they’d want to come on and act like arseholes, they were like a pair of bitches.
I can’t alway be here, I can only think Pedro let them on, you know, the Trojan horse, they tried that just now but they have no chance.
so it looks like we are going to be raped by inter for arshavin
afternoon BBK… been on the happy pills again i see???
its so depressing how them board cunts go about signing quality players
im telling you we will end up with no one the way them pricks go on
I would ask this question again it was initially directed to Geoff
Geoff dont you think its essential that we start touring the world (Asia & America) during preseason? Mancs and others do it and they still finish above us anyway so why not raise more funds this way. All that Arsene jetlag talk is bollox IMO. I bet Gazidis would introduce and try to push through such proposals. Madrid and United make at least twice as much as we do (I bet more) from merchandising
Dennis,
Bang on the button my friend Football used to be a laugh and a giggle now its whored itself out to the devil and untill the bubble bursts and we can have part of The real Arsenal back ill happily carry on down the pub. And yes you are 100% right on the contempt the club hold us in nowadays can you imagine the lies and spin they now get away with in the 80s there would have been uproar the rot started to set in when they changed our badge into a fucking walt disney design and after they got that through the back door they havent looked back, again can you imagine that happening 20 years ago there would have been riots
Been busy guys, sorry Fran, a very late Hello to you
Cant believe those two numbnutts have been trying hard to get back on, idiots….
Bergkamp – the clock end steward you are talking about – was he the Rio Ferdinand look alike? he was known as ‘Jobsworth’ by every one in block 13 – people used to hate him. Like a prison guard.
I have a match ball from Highbury which Rooney thumped past the right hand post into the clockend in the last season there. It literally pinged off a guy in the row behind me into my arms, i tucked it under my seat. A ball boy threw a ball straight to the yernited keeper who took a quick goal kick. The stewards continued to look – i put it under my coat on the way out. I remember Jobsworth prowling up and down – saying “this is theft, one of you has stolen from your club”. Do me a favour.
Fran – they would all be too tired after that
Geoff – are they banned for life?? What if the agreed to just add their point in a manner that is acceptable?? If they then take the opportunity to start swearing then, that is more of a detriment to their personalities………just a thought mate
Geoff
theres times i dont agree with everything thats posted either but i don’t lower myself into being
)
a right twat .. ( we most of the time
i dont agree with the 24 % either ..
i think the figures will be far higher if we stay at 5th in the league , and dont win the FA CUP ..
the spuds fans have heard this is going to be ‘their season’ for 2 years on the trot now ..
you can understand that the % of cancellations are going to be more than any of the other London based clubs ..
but us ….
factor in our ticket is the richest in the UK winning nothing , average players , poor performances , the credit crunch and im sure the % will be higher !
your post is stating a fact not PROMOTING a boycott !!! FFS !
RETARDS !then one of them had the balls to say i was thick !
twats !
Interesting post guys – I got an e-mail today from aisa to fill out “how I feel survey” think I’ll leave it though as I’ve only gone to 2 games
anyways i suppose its just a by- product of arsenal cabin fever ..
NOTHING IS HAPPENING … people are starting to get crazy eyes !
we are looking under every stone and all we keep finding is dirt !
when are we going too sign someone ?
id even settle for selling some of the dead wood just so we can gossip and not turn on other fans !
its pretty self evident that the very reason people are bitching about nothing is because NOTHING is happening !
when we all know something should be happening !
Franchise I agree, Wardo, everyone gets a second chance but these two were working as a pair, they have no interest in the exchange of ideas so can go and irritate some other cunt. Not my Grovers.
Ethan I agree, I think that waiting list will be wiped out if it’s not already, don’t forget they get 60,000 people at the Grove every home game don’t they!!!
Archway Gooner
least you didnt stick it down your pants , you would have had all the women come up asking for your autograph
Irish I’ve been going for over 30 but I didn’t get asked! Shows you what a lot of rubbish that is, doesn’t it???
Geoff
actually the last game against bolton i didnt see too many holes in the crowd ..
but prior too that totally agree …
there were bald patches everywhere in the few games prior too that, wigan etc ..
looking at the spaces in the crowd was like looking at jason stratham’s hair from an aerial view
Geoff – LOL that is pathetic – I’m sure you would of things to say
I’ll not fill it out this year but if I get one next year I will
Good afternoon All
just reading this article made me get my ass out in the cold and run to the bank,,,so my season tickets are hereby renewed…even though as a Norwegian i dont get to see all the matches…..there was no doubt in my mind…i have had some doubts this season…but well lets put it right..once a Gooner always a Gooner
besides that….this team will rule ,just give it time…and the financial outlook is far better than most other teams..no worries…
and i must say if youre a real Gooner …there will never be any doubts about renewing season tickets…thats just plain stupid..what would you achieve..???
and tonite if misses allows
im off to the pub…having a pint for You all…cheers mate 
or as Charlie Nicholas would put it …big city life tends to get to you
Tom
Oh for today only I’m a full blown Southend United fan
Tom you won’t get more of a gooner than me I’ve spent hundreds of thousands over the years and I write this blog, but I’m wavering.
You might too if you went to a few games, froze your nuts off and queued to get home for and hour and a half.
ok Geoff…….fair play. If they have no interest then, good call
wat are the chances, i’m actually going back to the uk for 2 weeks during the football season for the 1st time since ive been old enough to go to the arsenal by myself, and we don’t have a home game during the time im back….devastated
Geoff, I too have been going for around 20 years now. The most frustrating thing for me is, when the team plays shite, and you supping a beer or 15 in the Tollington pub after, you see all the stars drive past in their flash cars………..This includes Song and Eboue, dont mind RVP, Ade etc so much (also, Theo has a Golf GTI so that’s not so bad….). It does make me feel sick when I start thinking, I have to work tomorrow…….the least they could do is bust their fcuking ass’ off for a victory. Makes me feel soooooo much better
I was listening to talksport last night (they chat a lot of shit but its entertaining sometimes lol), and I heard a rumour from Alan Brazil that Arsenal have no money and Arsene is putting a brave face on for the fans apparently.
Smells of typical media bullshit, but make of it what you will…….
well Geoff
point taken mate..and im in no way disputing youre status as a fan
i spend some hundreds of thousands of miles travelling to matches avery year..and i can understand youre point Geoff…
and remember spring is just around the corner..come may there will be a change of heart Geoff…im sure…as far as i can tell this has been a year ..that the team needed..a growing up act..lets be honest the team is still too young and hit by to many injuries…but have a pint and look at the facts…this team will be fantastic…!!! no doubts about it Geoff…i can feel it in my bones mate..:)
still i hope one of theese days we could hook up for a pint and match
>Tom
Tom, can you give BBK some of your happy pills……
Wardo,
Yep thats another good point in years past my we have had some shit players but even tho they were shit you sensed they were trying their bollocks of for the cause can some of the present players say the same?
No Chippy……..some of them are all smiles when they stop at the traffic lights. Dont mind if its after te Manure match I was smiling!!! but not after the Hull match. RVP has a nice black Ferrari with Red brake callipers by the way. I was thinking after the hull match, I’d still be really fcuked off even If I was driving home in his car!!!
lol Wardo ..not handing out pills mate
a pint or two however..lol..but im old enough to remember …different Arsenal…sides..and well far as i go this might just be the best ever ..given time…and when you look at the financial status we are light years above most other teams not only in England but in the world…this is an important factor in years to come…so ill just stick with my Guns 
a song comes to mind..by good old monthy pythons…hanging on the cross…waitin for eternity….lets sing mates ..always look on th bright sides of life ..lalalalal
Misses thinks im plainly mad..lol…never mad just a Gooner 
Tom
Tom, that’s the shame of it, if the nucleus of talented youngsters that we have had some seasoned pros to look up to and learn from (or we’d retained a bit of the experience we jettisoned last summer) their learning process would have been accelerated.
Plus if deserving players had been given more of a chance and underperforming ones dropped the overall quality of the team this year would have improved.
tomstoned a few necessary signings last summer would have fast tracked the impending greatness of this team. The club has a duty to reward the fans who sacrifice a lot to follow the most expensive club to support in Europe. More transparency is a good start
I’m a tad pissed. La Tasca always do Jan specials. What’s been happening??
Tom….thanks. Cyber happy pills wnet down well……but then you mentioned song. Can’t quite sing that number when thinking of him………;-) I’ve seen goats grazing move quicker than Song
charybdis,
exactly for example gilberto,pires and even lehmann.i say lehmann because he was a nutter but he stood no shit from anyone and was a far better keeper than almunia.he made one mistake against blackburn and never got really back into the team.almunia puts ones heart in ones mouth nearly every game with his mistiming of crosses or running out when he shouldn’t.
with regards to arshavin,arsenal should say that this is our price(whatever that is about 12million tops) give them 24 hours for a yes or no, and then if no, move on and not wait until the last day to nearly sign someone.
i still think a couple of seasoned p.l. players wouldn’t go a miss,and i dont mean rejects like silvestre.
michael owen, anyone.big wages but a small signing on free,but then again injury prone.
agreed mates..
there’s always a easy way out,but lets not choose that…buying players…well i would love to buy some experienced players too…but that would be a step back..not when it comes to success in silverware..but when it comes to the young lads…this is a generation switch ..all great teams..in all team competition experience that…the point of the right players not beeing played…i cant argue with that..some times i think so too…
but look across the bridge to chelski…5 points ahead ?? with a team that in experience and money…and *greatness*should be miles ahead…not sure …nope ill stick with Arsenal’s approach….i do not miss flamster…he was never any good for the team…but i miss Rosicky..i miss Fabregas–i miss Theo..i miss Eduardo..and i miss Tony Adams
lol…and to be completely honest i miss Lehman too…
but when feelin down..take a quick look at our team..Man..there are a fantastic future just around the corner mates
be patience…
Tom
Was it cleared up already on here that it wasnt Wilshere that was injured. He played the whole game. It was Murphy who injured his ankle, not Jack.
Oh, and good nafternoon.
Has Michael P been on here since the transfer window opened? Wasnt it him that claimed we were definately signing 3 international class and experienced players.
What say you now MP!??
stu,
i was thinking the same thing,he has been awfully quiet
and now dinner….lol…and then of to the pub
have a great day all fellow Gooners….Geoff tke care mate 
and Wardo great pills..dont ya think ? 
Misses calling ,if anyones crazy back here it has to be Her
lol just dont tell i said so 
Cheerio Mates
Tom…
http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/football/Legend-Dennis-I-won39t-rule.4876024.jp
Damn! I wish i had arsenal tv now!
I bet he wont appear until its closed either. Or until we sign those players….like that will happen.
Kelsey, it’s one of the (many) things that surprises me. I’ve said before that it would make sense for Wenger to run the first team squad as a meritocracy as I know he hates injustice. So then he dumps Lehmann after 1 or 2 gaffes yet keeps in our Torquay waiter gaffe after gaffe.
As for Pires – don’t get me started about the injustice of his (mis)treatment by the club and/or Wenger.The camaraderie that he had with TH14 and PV04 gave the core of a team which was trulyt special. This was being established once again with Cesc,Flamini and Hleb till that was split up by incompetence on a major scale.
Easy way out??? Tom Wenger took too big a risk on this one. With the heights we attained btw 2002 – 2004, a little less risk takng with his squad would have ensured we stayed in touch with the rest of the pack. we have virtually crumbled and the competition has increased. Now on arsenal blogs we discuss villa because of arsene haphazardous approach to building a team. what he refused to do last january or last summer he is forced to do it now cos he cant keep asking for patience
The last part was about MP, not DB10. Bit confusing.
Yep, where is that mungler Michael P, i have quite a painful bet with him regarding his three class signings!! I believe that there’s a couple of other Le Grovers who also have dodgy bets with him……..
stu we could share my subscription for ATV im hardly on it and i paid 50quid for it for a year.
Kelsey/Stu – Michael P has been on at various times during the last week or so. There is still time for his 3 signings to materialise.
Chary – it sickens me really to think of the affection that those three (TH, RP & PV) held for the club – and were turfed out. Yes, granted they were all argubly past their best – but by no means no longer good enough to do a job for Arsenal. All three would still be doing a job for us. I would kill to have them back. Scholes & Giggs are not the same players as they were 5 years ago either – but they are still great squad players for the mancs- i think our three would have been more than squad players too looking at our current mob.
Tom I’ll have a beer with you anytime mate!
Non – football related but funny although sickening if you own the car LOL
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1114182/PICTURED-The-moment-AA-man-towed-BMW-hydraulic-bollards—-sent-flying.html
If only things were that simple Franchise.
What really annoys me is that i have Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and even Celtic tv. All free with a sky box but not a shiff of Arsenal tv.
No disrespect to MP, but his source was talking shite. Pato was one of the golden three and yet we all know there is little chance of that ever coming off.
Maybe that all goes back to a comment AW said, when he said he didn’t think leadership was important, or maybe more pertinently he only wants HIS leadership at the club. Look how long it’s taken to get a DD replacement, in fact he even vetoed the guy (fucking amazing), what does pat Rice actually do? Why doesn’t the club get Monkey Head in as a defensive coach? Why does AW offload virtually all senior players? Is it a case of “i’m in charge”????
Im serious Stu We could exchange email details over le exchange and i would mail u the login details
Wenger has noone challengig his authority at the club right now and as players get older they (should) get smarter and start asking questions. AW has a comfy situation atm and if he brings in people who question him he wont ave god naswers.
Pat Rice is like a mute sidekick. Does he even have a job title? Keown wouldnt stay quite, thats for sure.
Irish….I saw that this morning. It was at Heathrow Airport………what a plonker the AA driver is. I’d be wel fcuked off with him…..i bet the lass, who was in the car said “Well thanks for that one you dickhead!!!”
Unfortunately age restricts such transactions. I dont pay the bills so theres no chance. Im a free loader.
dont wanna rock the boat.
no problemo Stu
Wardo – was that where it happened? I only saw the video and half read the story LOL that’s going to come out of his paypacket
The driver should have known what was going to happen. He surely drives over them bollards every day.
Paulihno, always a good opening line “no disrespect, but his source was talking shite.”
Magic.
No disrespect but Ferguson is a red nosed fucking old Govan soak cunt.
Stu, are you a fucking tofu eating, free loading pikey student???
Yeah Irish G – some women broke down….she worked at the Airport. There wasn’t really that much wrong with her car until the roof got scratched and the bottom of the car got jacked up by hydrolic bullards !!!!!! Bet she’s stuill arguing with the AA about the damage………….did you see the AA man help her out the car, he didn;t seem too embarrassed did he?? lol
Another classic Steve – I can only ever refer to him as “ole 65% proof nose” but your way sounds better.
How dare you make such ludacris accusations!!
Technically im a free loader buit its not like i waste money. I am very econominally aware. I wouldnt be a fre loader if it wasnt for the damn recession!
Also, whats tofu? A vegie thing?
Wardo – not he didn’t seem at all bothered by it. Surely he’ll have to pay for the damage since he was so stupid?
Did i hear the word ‘freeloader’…………………??
Stu – Tofu is a bean curd-based protein substitute which vegetarians, like myself, do use e.g. in stir fry. But I sense it was a rhetorical question.
This is for the blog stalker everyone.
Yours wasn’t reasoned debate, what you see on this blog is, take a look, go back two years, you’ll see we don’t need people coming on causing trouble.
Try using your real name, or are you too embarrassed? You’ve used about 10 already today and all different.
This is the last time I’ll indulge you.
Irish G – think he’ll be covered under the AA’a insurance. You’d bloody hope so, they sell insurance for other road users in the uk……
What he should have done is, got out, unhooked the tow bar and just drove off………..the women would have got a fine for trying to jump through the barrier without paying the car park costs!! how funny would that have been !!
LOL – Wardo
Poor women went from having a broke down car to having it rightly fecked up on here
Geoff, just ask him why he wants to blog on this site….if its to give an honest opinion and be polite then, start him off opn a yellow card!!! one stupid post, then just ban him……….or, is he just trying to submit stupid comments all day under those alias names????
woohoo – Ireland are 37th in the latest world rankings
Thanks Trap
Chill Geoff, i’m loaded with red wine and the P&L is looking good. It’s good times brother.
Chary, i’m generally far more diplomatic but fuck it. I like Wednesdays.
ha ha Irish G…..think she only had a flat battery. Think she may have left her lights on or something. That’ll teach her…….
She ended up doing what is commonly known as an endo (motorbike terms!!!)
37th is nothing to be proud of.
Wardo, waste of time, he was being an argumentative cunt. From the word go. I’m off now for a bit, if any arseholes do get on bear with me, I’ll get to them later.
Woohoo Irish, The Faroes are 36th.
And, Ken Dodd’s Diddeymen are 35th……….
Or was that actually Ken Dodd’s Diddley Diddleymen…………ha ha ha, i’m sorry Irish, i couldn’t resist that
speaking of bullards…. come on wenger get yer cheque book out – we could do with Jimmy – like a blonde Raymondo Parlour!
Wardo – from a dead battery to a smashed roof LOL how will she explain that to her husband??
Stu – we were way down in 50 somthing weren’t we so its progress
Steve – we actually managed to beat the Faroes 2-1 home and away ha ha its Cyprus and Macedonia we hate
Ye’ll not be laughing when we beat the Italians and qualify for 2010 
Not sure Irish G but, I bet he say….FFS! not again…….ha ha
Irish, just face it. We are useless. It took an injury time winner to beat the faroes. Thats pathetic. I gave up on the international games years ago. We are a joke. We have players for big clubs but persist with Gibson and Whelan in midfield instead of Andy Reid.
Bullard is plug average, but better than what we have currently got, so……….
Salad Dodger Reid…………..
there’s a video of that car being towed on you tube. I’ll see if i can find it
I love diddly diddly music when I’m pissed. In fairness, i also love fat birds and stella when i’m pissed.
Best not speak to me when i’m pissed actually.
goonermichael….its in the Sun also. http://www.thesun.co.uk
I hope my wife doesn’t read this.
Steve – You are a top Le grover sir, we salute you
ddm, that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. I’m all wet and emotional.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PtLEsR_cxfg
here it is. It’s funnier when you see it moving
Stu – nah we’ll get second mate Bulgaria are crap so we just need to hope we get a good draw – the football is crap and Trap seems a bit crazy but we still haven’t been beaten. You should try this “glass half full” thing sometime
Steve – are you pissed now LOL
Steve, it’s better to be moist than wet, much much better fella
It was on the page anyway. So I just wasted 10 minutes of my life twat
im pissed
and i fly back to uk on friday, and they’res no home games b4 i leave 
ddm, i was moist until that extra defeat on par 100. Now i’m wet.
I.G, if you are familiar with mm terms i would have to say “small long, with a view to cutting the position”
The conversation in this place has gone south folks!!
Well lets change that then.
Bergkamp for manager? Yes please. (obviously not right now tho)
Irish G…not much going on Arsenal wise……however,
Kaka has said no to City stating he wants to remain at AC until he is captain and want to grow old at AC.
Adriano has said no to Spurs think he said “are you fucking joking. Don’t insult my intelligence – they’re fucking shite!!!!!
more on arshavin…
Dennis Lachter (his agent) said in the London Evening Standard: “It looks like nothing will happen this week now, but there may be some movement early next week.”
Gone south?
Indeed.
Wenger for manager, just a little assistance from the board would help.
And, on that note i’m outta here to grab a few Duvels before logging back on tonight to continue the moist shenanigans
Keep it Real Grovers
Tom…
Thats what they said last week!
How is this for an article title:
“The Future of Football: Arsenal or Manchester City?” – what do ye think?
Wardo, Adriano was apparently considering a loan move to West Ham at the start of the season. How the mighty have fallen.
Adios ddm. Goodnight fella.
I think I should be Wenger’s 2nd in command
He keeps telling Pat to shut up but he can’t tell me to shut up as I’m a lady and that’d be rude!! What do ye think – ye could tell me what to tell him?
Also, did anyone see TAs post match interview last night? The man is a fucking living legend but is seems as dull as shit! Redknob was a “funny” manager who had a great relationship with the press. TA is trying to be that type too and is trying to make jokes but its just painfull to watch.
Last night he was asked about Crouches handball leading up to his goal and TA said ” I didnt see it, thats what Arsene Wenger would say”. He is trying to be funny but i just cant see it. Am i wrong?
Seems I missed quite a bit this morning!!!!
I am thinking of knocking out my ticket for half the season, but obviously keeping it in my name. Mainly because of the cost but also because I am still dragging my sorry arse up and down the pitch for my Saturday team! Surely if you are thinking of giving it up permanently you run the risk of not being able to get tix let alone a ST when the good times start rolling again!
Arseblog’s non footy related comments should serve as a warning to those people thinking of spending too much time in Barcelona; Fabregas be warned!
yes Stu
Hey Steve…..I think Mourine has said he want him to stay at inter………it seems even mourine isn’t that cruel to a player
Irish, he doesnt ever tell Pat Rice to shut up because Rice doesnt even talk. He just sits there, listening to Wenger complain about the shit players he bought and played. Pat gets up and shouts a few things at the players to make it appear that he actually does something.
Irish, it’s customary to tell your biatch to shut up if you think she is being a pest. Fact of life, live with it
Irish G…I tell my Fiance to shut up all the time. If I didn’t she keep nattering away all bloody day……….only kidding of course! she’d make my life hell if I did…….
Keeping it simple Franchise.
zorr0 just read the comments on arseblog. the guy is generating them electronically. they dont make sense. fraud!!!!
In fact, delete the smiley off my last comment as I was being serious.
if its gonna take us over 2 weeks to get arshavin we’ve got fuck all chance of getting anyone else… i feel another last minute fuck up like alonso on the cards
Stu – yeah but when Pat does get up he tells him shut up
Steve – give me a week and you’d be like my biatch on a lead – I’d whip you into shape
sounds like fun steve…. go for it mate
Stu, big TA went loopy long ago. Who has Caprice bending over the sofa and outs her because she is stupid?? If we needed intelligent women I wouldn’t have wasted time on an economics degree.
Hey Stu
I Like TA…….if he is not funny, I’ll still like TA.
If Wenger see’s the funny side of what TA says….good on him and good one TA.
Also, I think he spent so much of his youth pissed when he finally quit, his personality changed. I guess he did not know his own sense of humour sober………a friend of mine did exactly the same thing
Anyone see the big match revisited on ITV4 last week. Arse v sheff weds, FA cup 3rd rd, 1st of 5 matches we played to get to the 4th rd! It had been snowing and big Pat got pelted with snowballs as he went to the goal at the home end for 2nd half so they had to delay KO! Shit pitch but Brady still floated across it with the ball glued to his beautiful left foot!
They then showed another match where they left the snow on the pitch and just cleared the lines, played with an orange ball, FM remember them?? Match abandoned at HT as the layer under the snow had turned to ice! lol how would these nancy primadonnas of today have ever survived?
I think later this week it shows Arse v Forest from about 79 so could be a tasty game!
I.G any day but match days,
I think by the end of the week Ash will be in the bag..
ha ha – nice one Steve.
Although, have you seen Caprice without make up…..she is minging mate. I mean really bad…..
Wardo, he done an interview after we done the double in ’98 saying “it’s only football”, I fucking hated that. I wanted him to tell !00% proof nose to lick his cods and he makes a comment like that.
Caprice without make-up? I would.
Didn’t she say Tone had the biggest todge she had seen?
If we needed intelligent women I wouldn’t have wasted time on an economics degree.
steven, you sir are a funny guy
Wardo, Make sure she always wears make-up. Problemo savo.
Anyway, i’m off. Have a lovely evening Gooners.
zoor0… she probably meant nose
later steve
he was out of his nut for years on end mate…….when he gave up, he probably was suffering some sort of mental depression………..think we should leave big TA alone geezer.
yeah – have a good one Steve…….
Bye Steve
i like adams.. he does well in his interviews… he acts like he doesnt give a fuck and i like that cos the press know they cant wind him up. good luck to him
I love Big Tone, an absolute firkin leg end and you have to wonder how good he could have been if he had not been a piss head!
I always worry though, in such a stressful position, how far he ever is away from a relapse!
Best of luck to him, but I can’t see him ever in the big chair at THOF!
zorro….don think he’ll ever relapse. He’s not a Gazza or Best……….he beat his addiction and is over it now. The other two I mentioned never beat their addictions…..not once!!!
I feel sorry for TA. He did poor at best at Wycombe because he had to sell most of his players to balance the books. And it seems the same thing is happening at Pompey. He has lost last seasons entire midfield and defoe and isn really able to buy anyone because of the financial situation.
We wont know what he is like until he gets stability and that doesnt look like coming for him any time soon.
Gazza was and still is a mess. Best never stopped. TA wont relapse because he is stronger than both of them.
you all know Wenger does football commentating sometimes on french Tv, mainly in International matches, just thought i’d throw that one out there..
TA should be in the coaching staff at Arsenal
TA or DB? As manager at THOF?
DB is a good bit behind Adams in terms of experience but ex-dutch players are popping up as manager all over the place recently.
Then there is TH14 but that is at least 10years away from even being a possibility.
And Bouldy who is only a step or 2 down and already at the club. Vieira has effectively ruled management out.
tony knows he cant relapse and has kept busy which helps… gazza and best didnt do enough after their careers ended to occupy their minds.
rasdef… thats why we didnt sign anyone worthwhile during the summer… he was too busy commentating!
RasDef, what made you mention that? Espeially given the topic.
stu.. patrick for me mate. id love to have him back as a coach i reckon he could even make song look like a footballer
maybe, i dont know since i was in the Netherlands during the Euros…
Who is listening to TalkSport right now????
Ian Wright is fuckin hilarious lol. He seems to still have an affinity for Arsenal though, the way he was talkin about 5 mins ago.
Who believes that Alan Brazil story that Arsenal really have no money and are hiding it? It sounds like crap, but is a bit believable.
Yeah, sorry bout that, just crossed my mind. What else is there to talk about?
Stu…….I’d have DB10 i think. No disrespect to Adams…….however, DB10′s game was a more technical game than Adam’s had to play…….just my opinion. Both are Arsnela legends who will be remembered for their playing days always. Maybe only one will go on to be manager at THOF
AT, so many people say that Vieira is far too lazy to ever go into management. He is planning to start soccer schools in africa when he retires.
Rasdef – betcha Wenger missed all the debatable incidents though LOL
sion… alan brazil is talking bollocks… we dont have a bottomless pit of money but if we were willing to buy inler/alonso on the last day on the summer that money cant have disappeared, arsene’s made profit every year for about 3 years now so i dont buy that shit, for wenger to have no money what so ever would be terrible management by the board
Yes Wardo. I would tend to go for BD10 too. I dont really know why but he seems like he would do a better job. I dont know why tho?
Sion, I really really dislike Wright. Most things he says are to provoke controversy and just to have a say. Never anything smart. Great player but i “strongly dislike” him.
I remen=mber him even approving Henry moving to Unted. What kind of a cunt would say that!
looks like we are going to miss out on everyone we go for,the second part of the season should be fun..
Stu….thinking more bout DB10, i think he would do a superb job. Hope he joins our coaching staff soon. AW will not want to go on for another 5-7 years……..
Stu, not sure if this is correct but, Ian Wright wanted SWP to go to Arsenal and they said no. He was once asked on the radio why SWP did not go to arsenal wrighty responded “What did i have to do?? Camp outside their training ground with Shaun?”
Think he was p’d off…ever since then, a few comments have made their way into the paper via Wrighty’s column
Still…..Ian WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT !! Ian WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT !! Ian WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT !!
BBK……you’re back with another huge wave of optimism.
I do hope you are wrong………I really do. I think you’re wrong….eeeerrr, I hope!
wardo i hope im wrong too but its looking increasingly like no one is coming in
He is on the coaching staff at Ajax. Either with the first team or high up in the youth teams.
It would be great if he replaced Pat Rice, with a view to eventually moving into the main seat. Wengers contract is up in 2011 so he should be looking to pick his replacement soon.
My only concern is that Bergkamp would pivk up some of Wengers bad traits. Lets hope he only ;earns some good things and values defending a hell of a lot more than AW.
Wardo – I read somewhere that SWP went to the Chavs on his advice due to the perception that, as an English player, he would get more chances there than at Arsenal. Perhaps this was what he said AFTER AFC had ticked him off.
I know BBK. Its very frustrating. However, I was told that cause we have only 3 EPL games in January, AW is not rushing to buy in the hope we get Arshavin for the “right” price.
Problem is that, it is a huge risk as we do need players.
Also, we are now being linked in England and Italy with Diakite…..
I do think someone will come in…….it is required.
Stay positive my friend
we will sign someone, but who is a very good question, I think Ash will come by friday, just got a feeling ya know?
now inter are sniffing around arshavin,city will be again after missing out on kaka we make so many rods for our own backs
I don’t get why Wenger has to get involved in playter transfer negotiations – all he should say is “I want X or Y” and leave the rest to the newly appointed septic bubble.
Wenger should concentrate on first team on-field issues only.
just pay the fucking money if you don’t have any just come out and say it
good evening all…..
Alan Brazil knows shit all; sure we have a budget but if we were very short of dosh we would sell before we bought.
Chippy:
Could you explain/define the term: “americanized brand”?
Wardo that’s not true, I was talking to Ian Wright just before SWP left City, I said is he coming to us then? He sheepishly said no, a week later he was at the Bridge, he went for the money.
Alan Brazil? Formerly of Man U and Spurs?
Not sure he’s exactly in the Arsenal loop.
talkSPORT specialise in winding up gooners, making them look like idiots on air then take the higher ground when the callers are gone and can’t respond.
I urge all gooners never to call in. Don’t give them what they want.
I read Wrighty directed SWP towards Chelsea; then when things were not working out for him there he wanted Arsenal to take him. F…g cheek;,he got the hump with AW cos he was not interested 2nd time round.
SWP wanted his cake and eat it
Ian Wright.
Footballer? Brilliant.
Man ? A Lemon
AW should have had SWP from birth. He was an obvious and easy signing. Same with Ya Ya.
Instead he stuck with Song, Eboue etc. And yet we are told that AW is the best spotter of young talent in world football.
Interestingly, SWP only went to city in the first place because they were after Bradley and he asked that Shawn come along too. Nice move Bradley.
BR-True Wenger should have forseen that they would be great players..
Interestingly- City wanted Bradley, he said he would go if SWP could come along too. Nice move Bradley.
evening all,Raddy included.
not quite correct goonerman re SWP. wrighty brought him down twice to see wenger and he rejected him for 2 reasons,1) the price 2) he didn’t rate him so highly.having said that we could have bought him from chelsea for half what they payed for him
Particularly Ya YAa He could have made a loan agreement with Olympiakos. After all Ya ya was at Beverenn – our feeder club. What was the point of setting up the arrangement with Beveren if not to develop players just like YaYa ?
It cost us the £20m it would take to buy him now.
this arshavin deal stinks,how the fuck can the agent demand 5 million quid.talk about easy money.agents have killed football to an extent. in most cases they are articulate and intelligent than the footballers themselves and they can manipulate them,especially the younger ones.i say get rid of all agents,make football a better place.
Spot on Kelsey. They are a curse.
We can trace this player power back to George Eastham. Did you ever see him play Kelsey? He was at the end of his career when I started to go to THOF, but I saw him a few times.
What’s the point of a feeder club, we’ve had Eboue and YaYa in what 5 years? and Wenger didn’t rate YaYa enough to wait for a work permit of get one on the basis of exceptional talent.
Kelsey – £5million??? Crazy
Oh and while I am in a ‘history’ mood. Kelsey
You slagged off John Macleod yeserday and I didn’t have time to respond. He was in no way one of our worst players. The fact that Wee Geordie Armstrong took his place in the team was not a reflection of how poor John was, more how brilliant Armstrong was.
I rest my case. Though I will accept that I view all those players with rose coloured glasses
Wardo, we will have played 4 premier league games by the end of January & 4 or 5 league games is pretty standard in a month. Wenger wouldn’t take the chance waiting until the end again especially as he knew this month could pretty much end our season.
None whatsoever Geoff
Evening GMR
Evening Raddy, how are you?
I wish I could share your confidence in a signing GMR.
I fear that once again our desire to get value for money will scupper any potential signings.
Arshavin is a Top 10 World player, he will cost big bucks. Defoe cost THFC £15m FFS.
And Berbs who is a player of similar stature £30m !!
Missing London today GMR.
I am 1000 kms North and it is effing cold up here. I need some smog in my lungs.
Raddy,
yes I did see george eastham play a sort of a mixture of brady and hleb,always on a fringe of a cap.but we were a shit team in those days.I remember 3 succesive game 5-5,5-4 5-5 and he scored or set up a lot of our goals. memories
I didn’t slag off john macleod.I said he went bent in a home f.a. cup game against liverpool,which was later endorsed by g.g. and he never played for us again.It was nothing to do with his ability.
Raddy, I didn’t say we would make a signing merely that Wenger wouldn’t wait until the end of the month if he was planning one. He knows this month could basically end our season because we aren’t going to win the league or CL so the FA cup is our only chance.
With regards Arshavin there would be no point signing him if he left it until the last day of the window (Feb 2nd), Arshavin hasn’t played since the final CL group match & has been off on his holidays so it’ll take 2-3 weeks to get him fit, that would mean he wouldn’t be ready until late Feb or early March time when we’ll have Theo, Cesc & the rest back. It would be pointless.
Sorry Kelsey. It’s the Alzheimer’s !
It was during that discussion about worst AFC players….
Having seen the games earlier in the season when we had both Theo and Cesc in the team, we still lacked a creative edge, which is what Arshavin will (hopefully) bring.
He would be a fine addition to the squad. Though there is always the fear that he could be another Modric.
Tony Adams is a legend and a former player who doesn’t care about showing his undying love for the club even though he technically no longer has any link to us any more.
Can’t remember who the TV interviewer was, but a couple of weeks ago TA was asked after Diarra had left for Real, if at any point during his career he was tempted by a big move abroad – he looked visably confused “But why? I was at the biggest club in Europe any way?” – Superb Tony.
Raddy, thats true but the team has been getting stronger each month, it may not have been a massive difference but I bet Theo & Cesc in the team now would actually make more of a difference than you think.
I’d love AA to sign but as I said it would be pointless if he left it until the last day of the window.
TA is a legend and will always will be but that doesnt mean he will be a good manager. Great players rarely become great managers. Rare but it does happen.
Bouldy or Bergkamp for me. Bould because he is already at the club and Bergkamp because he loves the club, like most ex players, and he said he would love to come back.
Cesc hasnt been the same this season because apart from injuries he has more responsibility than ever. Last season he had Hleb and Rosicky to take control is Cesc didnt feel up to it.
When he first broke into the team he had Henry, Pires, Vieira, Bergkamp etc around him and he didnt need to control the game, it just happened but there is too much expectation surrounding him now because he is the only creative influence we have.
Once we sign Arshavin and Rosicky comes back and Nasri settles into the team fully Cesc will return to his best.
i feel sorry for adams,as redknapp has left “a sinking ship” in pompey,yet redknapp will have pressure that he has never experienced before at sprus as they are a big club(cough)
bergkamp a great man as coach for all the home games .
I wouldn’t want Bergkamp as manager, he wouldn’t be able to go to any of the european matches & if he did it’d mean days away from the squad which is no way for a manager to do things. He also wouldn’t be able to go abroad to meet potential signings or scout players when needed.
If he could get past that fear I’d love him to take over, but if he can’t then it’s a no go for me!!
Could Bergkamp not get hypnotised to get over his fear?
GMR evening,
the only problem is that we are a slightly built side,cesc,nasri,denilson,ramsey,theo etc, we need a physical presence in the side,especially as gallas will go in the summer. just my opinion
Evening Kelsey.
bbc breaking news.
man city have just bid 90 million for kaka and 100000k a week.
Kelsey, if that is 1 million thousand a week even I’d join Citeh!
If it’s 100k, can’t see him getting out of bed for it!
Ha Ribery’s market value is equal to Ronaldo, hahaha, Scarface!!!
j Dj managed to qualify as the 11th most expensive under 21 midfielder..
*in Europe
Im sure if Bergkamp wanted to be a manager badly enough then he would have to overcome his fear. However he does it I think he will concur his fear.
Heres a good roundup of Nasir’s career for those who dont believe in him… Yet!
http://goonersworld.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/samir-nasri/#comment-733
Spurs have arranged a friendly so that Quincy and Appiah can try earn a deal with them. What an amazing scoutng system they have. A free agent linkd with dozens of clubs and an ex-gunner. WOW!
Ras – Nasri is class and he’ll get better he’s learning all the time
Anyone seen the Evening Standard this evening, interesting article by Mellor (yeah, I know he’s a c*ck) saying he thinks Abramovic will leave Chelsea sooner than anticipated. Not the first time in the last few weeks i’ve heard seasoned Chav fans saying that but wouldn’t it be nice to see them do a Leeds!!!
TJ – been saying it since Mourinho left he’s no more interest in them and I don’t see them making themselves self sustainable
Yes TJ, it would be fantastic. Chelsea without Roman, mancs without Fergie, Sours in the championship. We would only have Liverpool to worry about and even then they wouldnt pose that big a threat. All this coupled with us being financially superior to them all in years to come. Domination! (hopefully).
IrishGunner,
Kenyon recons by 2010, yeah good luck with that!
The article says Abramovic has actually aquired debt (rather than pay from his own pocket) & hasn’t paid for a number of things yet.
Stu – Man City well that’s if they can actually ever buy anyone LOL
£100m and £500,000 a week and Kaka tells them to sod off = brilliant
Stu,
You should sell some of that optimism mate!
Still wouldn’t mind reminding everyone (including us) we were a top club this Jan though!
TJ – not a hope it’ll take Arsenal longer than that and we’ve been as stingy as hell
Abramovich only gave Chelsea a loan really it wasn’t like a present – I think they felt they could dominate the league and win the CL (it is said United made £100m from winning both last season) so make their money through winnings and become a global brand – neither happened. They owe a few hundred million.
Arsenal did a better job of becoming a global brand.
Makes you want to laugh – even more if Southend win tonight
any bright news? oh and irish even hypnotherapy wouldnt make me friends with mice
Drogba is the first to jump ship it seems, shame huh! Other than Anelka what other stikers have they got?
We are already in a better position than them looking at the age of our squad!!
evening all
haha what did hi say earlier irish about citeh, players like that dont want to go to citeh, they already getting loads, they already rich cos they mega famous, what challenge is citeh????
if they could get anyone they’d of got them by now, with all the money they have they would of got their man if he wanted to go, but we are two weeks into the window and they havent got anyone, cos noone wants to go them.
they’l end up buying bellamy and parker for mega money and pass that off as the world class players they were going to get.
robinho went there on the promise of big money, big signings, and CL next year,
he made a mistake i reckon theres a big chance of him leaving next year.
they can all go to citeh but the shadow of old trafford would loom over them big time
imagine if your local rivals were as succesful as man ure,ud slit your own throat
Bergkamp – I’m like that with spiders, mice are cute though
J.J – would love if they went for Arshavin and he told them to sod off he wants to play for us. The city fans are getting annoying now
i wonder if dennis and mr T watched snakes on a plane together
yeah LOL lucky for us spurs are shite
i wanna know what is the difference between a mouse and a hampster
Two weeks into the window and we havent got anyone either
bergkamp,
even with all their cash i still dont think they will be a match for us, citeh dont have the bottle as a club, theyve lived in the shadows that long, they dont know what to do with the money, especially the manager, he doesnt know his arse from his elbow
i aint worried about citeh one bit
imagine if spurs won 9 titles and two champions leagues and a few f.a cups and carling cups in the next twenty years,and we won a couple carling cups only,,i dunno how id live, id probably commit suicide by walking through cardiff in a leeds shirt with JonJon
a hampsters a hampster and a mouse is a mouse.
i think its not completely about the players that come in,a club can inpsire winning mentality by the way it presents itself and by the expectation caused by winning history,i mean spurs are meant to win or come above us every year and i think even with kaka and ronaldo and ledley king fit theyd fuck it up
so is a hampster a meat eater??
citeh have been bitchslapped so long now by united, they will never live it down, they’ll never be bigger than manutd, no matter who they buy,
if we won nothing, id be consoled big time if spuds went down.
or is a hampster just an overweight mouse or a mini rat faced tramp like anton ferdinand?
iv never heard of a meat eating hampster ,not unless its a killer hampster bergkamp.
lol spurs should be an easy 6 points though but were full of charity for our neighbours so maybe it would be good they go down
Bergkamp – no one has that good an imagination LOL
The day spurs do all that is the day Song is named world player of the year
honestly guys if we still won nothing and spurs went down, it would be as good as us winning something imo, i would regard that as a successful season.
a killer hampster lol,sounds like flamini
LOL Kaka wants to grow old at milan, Wonder why? Is it the fit birds, did Berlusconi put a gun to his head, or is it just the weather? I’d say its because people in Brazil keep ranting about Robhinos attitude towards his transfer that Kaka doesnt want to ruin him image..
mice eat meat
lol irish,anton looks like a proper bash street kid,mice dont deserve such a bad face
so a hampster is basically a mouse with an owner and a mouse is a homeless hampster that its not cruel to kill?
mouse – noun: any similar small animal of various rodent and marsupial families.
hamster – noun: any of several short-tailed, stout-bodied, burrowing rodents, as Cricetus cricetus, of Europe and Asia, having large cheek pouches
Things are looking brighter each day! ManU are going to lose Furgi sometime soon, Spuds relegated by the end of the season, Abrahan isnt the biggest bully in the playground anymore and ManC cant attract players since they’d actually have to work football. In two years who will be the big boys? My money is on Arsenal since Liverfool keep spending money on players. Now thats fantastic!!
Rasdef – Kaka is treated like some form of a God in the red and black half of Milan, 2nd only to Maldini and he’s retiring this year so he may as well stay and bask in his glory
lol irish,so a mouse is basically a small rat and hamster and guinea pig?
if you got mice dude kill them lil shits, they breed qiuckly and they overun your house, chewing at the rafters and everything,
the only way to stop it is to kill them
or get a snake, or a cat.
RasDef – but will Wenger still be around after 2011. He could do all this building up work, retire and then we get a total cock of a manager who fecks it all up
no mice here,i got a cat,but it dont hardly ever come home ,another cat kept coming in the cat flap so i got a dog but things went pear shaped,i couldnt make the cat and the dog friends
IG- true, if i was in his position i’d do the same! + The squad they got is amazing, full of top class talent, apart from posh spice ofcourse…
irish were gonna get slaven bilic,put some euros on that,he will take over from wenger
guinea pig – noun: a short-eared, tailless rodent of the genus Cavia, usually white, black, and tawny, commonly regarded as the domesticated form of one of the South American wild species of cavy: often used in scientific experiments or kept as a pet.
I think Wenger will always be in the shadows of the club till his very last days, Arsenal is in his blood now!
irish, i always though that wenger will go on to be france manager after 2011,
but it depends, if we start winning things with this young team we could dominate for years, will wenger walk out when hes seeing the fruits of his labor???
im caught in the middle with that one.
Its a good question!
irish what about ferrets?? you ever had a ferret?
Bergkamp – Bilic wants to come to the EPL next year and Wenger ain’t go nowhere until 2011 unless we have Bilic working alongside Wenger – that’s be cool
Lets hope Wigan does a good operation tonight, there in top form at the moment…
wenger wont be french manager,he wont do nationals,he likes day to day work with a squad which includes youth and bitch slapping groundsmen and anyone else he can get hold of
they’re*
billic wont go to a shyt prem team,he will do work experience first at club level
I heard his wife wants to move back to France to educate their daughter over there? But feck its not like he seems much of a family man anyway he could stay in London. Personally it’d be nice if he would stay on for 3/4 more years to win piles of trophies and then move upstairs (but not over the money LOL)
Bergkamp – ferret – noun: a domesticated, usually red-eyed, and albinic variety of the polecat, used in Europe for driving rabbits and rats from their burrows.
I’ve 7 cats mate – none of these creatures would have a chance LOL
hull have rested 8 first teamers tonight for their cup game against newcastle,do i read something into that.
if he won the champions league with us he’d probably retire. he’ll take the french job as a semi role, its perfect, he gets to spend time with the family and he still gets to coach,
plus he’s a manager who wants recognotion, if he was the man who won everything at club level, and on international level too, has that ever been done before???
his wife already lives in france i heard, blimey 7 cats,sell me a cat irish,i need another couple of cats,i like the animals
Does Wenger not get on with the french football federation anyway and Platini is big up in that place and he hates Wenger cos Platini’s father is said to have treated Wenger as his own son. Hence all the snide remarks about the gaffer from Platini.
yep i do see Wenger coaching France in a couple of years, it would really not surprise me..
i thought it was coz wenger was a secret german that platini didnt like him
Platini is a FIFA man and has nothing to do with the FFF…
they wont have wenger as manager,imagine gallas would get the captains job
From what I heard their daughter goes to school in London and she walks her to school. Some walk from France LOL
I have a black cat that strayed in about 2 weeks ago Bergkamp you can have that one. I’ll post it over
feck 1-0 to united already feck sake wigan
hey grovers
a little off topic but does any of you in europe own an iphone or itouch and if you do has Arsenal come out with an app over there yet? and not one like the mancs are selling to the yanks more like the Scousers (i fucking love that word) but more elaborate.
If anyone has any info please let me know?
Wenger is an Alsatian LOL he could be my bitch anyday
post it?? lol you irish people are well cruel
i bet wenger is the type of man to have a pet lizard or a fish in a tea cup
Evening Grovers!
In an animal box Bergkamp LOL
I had a cat called Figo once – she died
why would Wenger put small creatures into a tea cup LOL that is an odd image ha ha
pedro,irish wants you to write more educational posts,more info to help grovers take care of their pets and stuff and not forget them on transfer deadline day
rooney injured
evening pedro
for real,wenger is the type of man who keeps a gold fish in a cup,not even a clear transparent cup,and he plays U2 to it while he is away ,he probably gave it a name like o’leary or big sam
Oh, no problem Bergkamp! haha!
I heard a couple of idiots got on today?
if he plays U2 and called it O’Leary is he an Irishman in disguise? cos I’d do that to a pet fish
Pedro – Bergkamp just isn’t very up to date on his rodents that’s all
lol irish,i heard that arsene loves U2 and also shaking stevens but iv never heard his music, he must b cool?
pedro i think mr Geoff dealt with some AKB’s like a gladiator
lol bergkamp shakin stevens has that stupid christmas song – “snow is falling all around me…”
images of Wenger rocking out to Vertigo ha ha he’s a bit old for that. good taste though
lol poor old arsene,even a ferari and U2 cant make him cool
morning!!!! i havent been able to post today as work has been pretty cruel today…
what have i missed? lol
irish are you outnumbered by mancs over there?? do you love hurley?
chelsea 1 nil down
ha ah aha ha SOUTHEND YEEEEEEEEEEES
come on you shrimpers
cant say i like U2 though or shakin stevens….
Ive got tickets to see AC/DC at the O2 arena though and thats rockin!!!!
Ill maybe ask wenger to come to that with me if he is serious about rocking out!
Great goal!
A bit too early though…
oh i prefer waterloo road to that chelsea scum
bergkamp- talking of being out numbered by mancs/ i live in aberdeen and almost the entire of this city are man utd fans!!!!
Its extreamly gay!
Good to hear bergkamp… can’t believe they got on! It only happens when we’re not about…
Bergkamp – Arsene is cool by being uncool, he’s a cool geek
here it goes 1.Celtic 2.Liverpool/United 4. Arsenal
Yeah love hurling not that limerick have been good lately, its a great sport
I’ll take him Kenny – i’d rock out with him anytime
kenny smith,i have a friend who lives in aberdeen and she owns bysons
i think ethan was involved as well pedro,im not sure,big rows
whats bysons??? is she a gooner?
its true irish, have you ever seen super bad?? arsenes real name is arsene McLoving surely
irish- i dont want to know about you rocking on arsene! lol
i think me and you have a different definition of rocking! haha
bysons,them big ass buffalo things,she was on channel 4 on a programme Kenny
limerick,your from limerick lol,stab city
I’m sure Ethan was defending Le Groves honour!
Looks like few others were as well!
Any news?
notice how there are like 0 female managers anywhere… i wouldnt mind seeing a fit female manager in the EPL so i can fantasise about her… like irish fantisises about wenger! lol
no news pedro,maybe thats good news,hopefully,we need a bit,yeah ethan was on the defence i didnt even see what went down
bergkamp- i dont know what buffalo things are. i work in drilling for schlumberger. is she a gooner???
i think she supports aberdeen as it goes,did tell me we should have signed that keeper kenny
what keeper?
that useless wanker who went to sunderland
bergkamp – yep stab city so don’t you be messing with me
LOL i prefer the term “sports capital of Ireland” 
Kenny – arsene just seems nice that’s all bless him
I’d never marry or date him god no he’s too stubborn and so am I – I’m always right LOL
Craig Gordon… he is a good keeper and i think would be good in a top 4 team but i dont think he is any better than almunia to be honest
sports capital of ireland, just gimme some good tips,im a horses man,i know about limerick, all the best jockeys and horses,denman is from there and comply or die lol irish
i think he is good but overworked at sunderland,they drained his confidence coz he is young
lol irish
stab city… hmmmm here a fact for you… there are more people stabbed in glasgow every year than there is in the entire of britain put together!
Glasgow is a shithole!!!
irish id be worried if you did date him or married him considering he is like triple your age!
limerick is badder than glasgow,they will drive by your house and shoot it down if you dont sell up,aint the gangsters owning half the houses now irish? urban cowboys as well lol
Just in parts Bergkamp – its not as bad as people make out. Just certain areas you don’t go into and that but its fine. No worse than anywhere else.
they are rebuiliding up some of the more rundown places.
I think its a nice city – well big town we just about have the population to me called a city
didnt say it wasnt worse than glasgow i just said there are more people stabbed in glasgow every year than there are in the rest of britain put together.
and im sure limerick is a very nice place if you stay away from gangsters lol
kenny’s he’s only double my age + 13 years – not too old my a long shot
i aint irish but i been to limerick seen some 5 year olds chugging cigars ,also noticed some of the houses had them kinda horse stable doors so they could release the hounds if your short with your dope money lol
*by
lol oh well thats not too bad then… only double your age + 13!!! i shagged a 41 year old a couple of weeks ago and i thought that was bad!!!! lol u but u take the biscuit! lol
irish gunner is there a place called tumand park,a rugby field and a place called treaty stone near you?
Oh, good for Kaka… City are being ridiculous.
what part of limerick were you walking through Bergkamp LOL
to me city are makin fools of themselfs
bergkamp maybe you were in a rough part of limerick.
There is an area in aberdeen where the street lights have been torn straight out of the ground and are lying in the middle of the pavement. None of the flats on the first two floors have windows they are all boarded up cause they as soon as you replace them someone smashes it. I knew a guy who delivered a carpet there one day and by the time he had walked from his van into the house, put the carpet down and walked back out to his van the entire contents of the back of his van had been stolen.
irish gunner i used to have a mate who dealt in dodgy motors,used to deleiver a few ringers to the gangsters over there when i was a young fool,or younger fool, they love a 4×4 getaway car over your way
its not looking good, i was hoping wigan would really bring it on but ManU are easily dribbling into their box, so expect a 2nd goal in the 2nd half..
Pedro – I wrote my take on it and got attacked from a few City plums LOL do they not feel a bit peeved that they offer half a million a week to a guy and he still doesn’t want to go to them
chavs have equalised… gay!
aberdeen and glasgow are crazy places,especially glasgow,but limerick is strangely up & coming but the gangs are buying up the property before the developers i think, someone i know they offered him top wack for a place but it was a take it or leave it deal,im sure he took the money before they gave him the other option
Guess Kaka isnt saying ‘show me the money’, lol
wow the secret life of elephants
I’d say you may of being delivering to the Hyde Road – seen some bullet proff 4x4s out that way
I said at the start of the year they’d struggle to make an impact… it’s all rather crude…
I’d like us to spend some money… but not like that.
lol i dont think our gangster have figured out the property market yet lol… you cant get on the property market up here anyway cause its so damn expensive cause we are the oil capital of Europe. Aberdeen is the most expensive place to live outside of london.
the thing is man city are practically unknown,at least chelsea had a bit of glamour,they have always been a bunch of cocky pricks right through history,but they won the odd cups and played in europe,man city who would want them?? apart from robinho,he grabbed the money,even kaka has dissed him today
its all drugs up here… there isnt enough gangsters to handle all the drugs nevemind property
aberdeen is in line with russia i think,iv heard it gets dark there some days well early
Exactly… and Chelsea were the first to do it!
Man City have little hope of doing anything great this Jan. Next summer… maybe… but taking the plunge and going Man City is a little weak.
Ah, Abrahamic is going to sell his whole squad to the and bugger off back to Russia.
irish there all dodgy the limerick 4×4′s lol,i reckon thats where kanu’s car turned up
them* (manC)
at the moment its dark til about 8am and it starts getting dark again abou 5
i basically go to work when its dark and leave work when it is dark!!
it gets lighter in summer though
plus chelsea didnt really by any huge names apart from schevchenko,they bought players about to become huge,man city dont have that brain and im sure the chairmen will end up picking the buys and the team
in order for us too catch man united up we need too spend 100 million
abramovich wont go back to russia,i think he needs a project that will keep him out of russia for his own safety
does anyone have a link to jay simpson goal last night???
to get to them oil rigs off of aberdeen you have to go to norway,weird shyt
roman will probably buy a quiet island somewhere and retire and sail his submarine round it.
i dont feel sorry for roman,he was an idiot,his handling of chelsea makes me know he didnt earn that money
i just dont know why the arabs have left horse racing for football
bergkamp- no you dont, you can get to them from aberdeen
i have a friend who works on them,maybe its his firm that flys from norway as a choice, they earn 80k a year the lowest workers on them things,and work 6 months
vidic is class
why would we feel sorry for roman – he’ll get his money back one way or another won’t he?
roman should have bidded for the chelsea pitch,while the fans own that he cant sell it to developers,these billionaires dont do good business in football
are manure on tv?? irish you lot get better games on irish setanta as well
The rumours surrounding Scolari’s future at Chelsea are gathering pace and the message coming from Abramovich’s aqcuaintances is that the search for a new manager is well under way.
It may seem premature, but the Chelsea owner – who visits the training ground far less frequently than he used to – is nevertheless still on top of events at the club and believes that there is a widening gulf between the current manager and his players: a group of players that is in need of an overhaul. It is felt that Scolari has failed to win neither the support of the dressing room nor the hearts and minds of the senior figures in the side.
An enquiry over a possible replacement led to the name of Juande Ramos being mentioned to me by someone very close to Roman Abramovich. Furthermore, a very well known football agent has been in touch with the Real Madrid coach to inform him of Chelsea’s interest.
Juande Ramos was on Chelsea’s list of potential managers back in the summer of 2007, but the then Sevilla coach preferred to keep the faith with his agents at the time – and who had already been in contact with Spurs – rather than jump ship and sign up with another agent who was promising him the Chelsea job.
Roman Abramovich remains an admirer of the former Spurs coach and, via the aforementioned agent, he has let Ramos know that he is monitoring his situation in Madrid very closely.
However, it must be stated that there are still a lot of variables that would have to fall into place before anything can be considered a certainty. Of course, a lot depends on how long Sacolari stays in the Chelsea job and whether or not the London club find themselves needing a replacement before the end of the season.Juande Ramos has a short term contract with Madrid until the summer and his future beyond then is up in the air: particularly with the Real Madrid president currently embroiled in further scandals that could lead to a resignation and subsequent elections.
A great deal also depends upon Ramos’ performance as well: but if he can, at least, sustain his momentum in La Liga and present some form of challenge to Barcelona, while beating Liverpool and progressing to the final stages of the Champions League – then Juande Ramos could find himself very much in demand at both Stamford Bridge and the Bernabeu…
Bergkamp- it depends on what company you are with and what rig you are on.
The work in the north see is shared between Aberdeen and Stavanger mostly
Your friend must have quite a good job cause not everyone is on 80k a year!
I dont know who told you that the lowest paid workers are on 80k
Maybe the guys who work for Noweigian companies are but u need to be on about 80k just to get by in Norway… its about £7.50 a pint there
don’t have setanta bergkamp
I watch games online – although at the moment I’m watching Chelsea propganda on ITV
lol he moved to spain kenny, he flies to norway then to the rigs, he reckons his job is quite low but the money amazing, he is quite an honest fella too but he got the job through someone so maybe they pulled a few strings for him
irish- know any good links for watching ga,es online??? all the ones i try dont work
what site do you use irish??
justintv. com aint bad kenny,iv never had a good one on sopcast
chelsea players hate the zonal defending scolari uses
Come on Wigan!
they are paid quite well in Norway but thats cause its so expensive to live. Its clever of him to live in spain then cause it will be alot cheaper and he will be getting paid norweigian wages
kalou
yes kalou
not yes they scored but the scorer wenger wanted him
justin.tv is normally pretty good Kenny – sometimes it is hit and miss
what a gay celebration Kalou has!!
i couldnt be doing that oil rig business, i dont like all that sea
i have an uncle who lives in Thialand but works in offshore just off Baku. Gets paid £500 a day and then goes over to Thialand where the price of a slap up meal is 20p. he is living the high life to say the least lol
did kalou just do a john cena YOU CANT SEE ME,my godson does that shyt,i give him a clip round his head
Neither could i.. reason people are paid so well is because its dangerous as fuck… your basically working on a bomb that cud go off at anytime if anything goes wrong.
my mate drives a nice porsche,he was always crafty,right pikey, wasnt irish but had a lot of dogs lmaoo always had money
yeh bergkamp he did lollll
yep – that’s the one Bergkamp SO VERY GAY!!
lol it was a bit gay,thats for sure
lol BBK you spotted it as well,does anelka still do the birdman celebration lol
john Cena is gay. Wrestling went downhill soon after Stone cold steve austin got arrested to knocking his wife about.
He was the best wrestler ever. i still give people stone cold stunners at work!
lol stone cold stunners
its all about the kurt angle slam
Na na austin threw his medals over a bridge. And then Kurt Angle tried to be him by shaving his head! But he couldnt grow a good enough goatee so he never bothered
angle is the real gold medalist who lives by the three I’s, integrity,intelligence and i cant remember the 3rd one,austin cant test
Austin used to drink beer in the ring for christ sake!!! you cant get any cooler than that!
looks like joe cole will be out for a while
Lads – sorry to break your hearts but …. wrestling isn’t real
angle drank milk lol and steve drank budweiser not redstripe
agh crap
the ol butterfly hands are out again loll
irish lol
damn i was watching elephants,did he do the birdman lol
i hope john terry gets knocked the fuck out again
twas only a small butterfly LOL
poor old nic,what a fooooooooool he has become
he was always a fool bergkamp
he could have been the best striker in the world if he stayed with us
he only wanted to be the most paid striker in the world,another couple of years with us and he would have been able to have gone and got them wages
Another defending masterclass from Manchester United. Vidic is a rock. I hate him 1-0
It looks like they gonna win 3 in a row
irish- wrestling is not real??? nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
next you will be saying santa isnt real either!!!
Bergkamp…… austin didnt drink budweiser… he drunk Steveweisers!
so is rio as good as is thought or is vidic his steve bould??
lol steveweiser,austin had no respect for anything,you cant honestly approve of him, angle on the other hand,a proper role model for the kids includin I lol
Santa is real – he lives in lapland and only works once a year – cushy job
Fuck that guy singlehandedly held United at the back. He was partnered by 3 mickey mouse players in Evans, Rafael and O’Shea but he kept things tight. MOTM for me. And they say we have the best scouts in the world. Best my Ass
ITV are such a shower of pissheads
that was a real gay celebration by chavski
How did we not spot Vidic?????
lol franchise,we cant sign everyone
we have the best scouts in Cameroon franchise we got Song remember LOL
nobody at arsenal knows what to look for when scouting defence franchise strictly offense
vidic isnt an arsenal type player like it or not,he is the type of player who comes to us,doesnt get no practice in training because no one plays high balls and turns into phil senderos
We’ve had a dodgy defence for 4 years bergkamp no excuses. Does Wenger even know how to evaluate good CB. All his good CB signings have been no brainers Sol, Gallas. Where the hell did Phillipe come from. He is a poor man’s Vidic. Until we sort out our defense we would win fuck all. United have not conceded since November Nasri was the last to score against them. They have won like 4 or 5 of their last few games 1-0. I really want to sing 1-0 to the Arsenal and mean it… not sarcastically
yeah but im a badass and so is austin so i like him and his no respect for anything attitude.
Drink beer and raise hell is the best way to go! lol
The term Arsenal player is a myth. Gilberto completed only like 60% of his passes and yet he was an Arsenal player. What makes u an Arsenal player that qualifies the likes of Denilson, Song, Eboue?
id love to see austin playing upfront for us for one game against the chavs just so i could see him give john terry a stunner that wud be the best thing ever to see!
Diaby will still remain a legend in my eyes for kicking john terry clean between the eyes in the carling cup final!
yeah but gilberto was from a different time,he was the defensive part of the attack, we dont have that now,we could get john terry,without a dm he will be jelly as well
the mind frame creates an arsenal player, none of our players have determination,they are all believers in skill provails,especially our centre backs
lol kenny,or brock lesnar
60% of his passes? Where did you get that stat from Franchise?
id quite like brock taking over from song in the DM area lol
Play top quality defenders in defence and leave the attacking side of it to the attacking players. WTF
id agree gilberto wasnt the greatest passer of the ball but most of his passes were short easy passes,he must have completed more like 75-80 percent
we atack as a team,but we just stopped defending like a team, the balance has been broken in my opinion,the team lacks concentration at certain points of the game (when the whistle gets close)
Pedro Gilberto had a high pass completion rate when he attempted short passes to the closest player to him. Everything else was to his opponet or out of the pitch.
Interesting that Denilson is the 15th best actim rated player in the league… followed by Clichy 20 and Ade 21.
we should put brock on the bench,that would do,any rough stuff we bring him on
franchise but that was his job,get the ball and give it to the players,dennis bergkamp was there to do the rest
The stats are derived from all the actions that take place during a match, including goals, shots on target, corners, fouls, offsides, passes, tackles, blocks and clearances.
So I guess that clears up the myth that Denilson is bad player.
PPL that watched Gilberto including yourself Pedro would know what Im talking about the stat’s out of my head its not accurate but Gilberto didnt have a wide selection of passes yet he played for us cos he offered defensive stability in the midfield
yeah could u imagine Kevin Davies going in for one of his many awful challenges on brock??? haha
i dont think denilson is bad,he just fluffs the more simple things ,he never makes huge mistakes with the ball at his feet,just concentration and sometimes releases the ball not as fast as needed,that makes him a bit predictable and causes interceptions,its all about speed
lol im suprised no one has ever tried a rugby player,there must be a few that are useful with a ball that would frighten the life out of oposition
Pedro there is a thin line between having good stats and being highly effective in games.
Evening grovers
The way Wenger handles the defense drives me batshit.Defense wins championships and our Leader couldn’t care less.
Hleb was subbed for Gilberto and all we did hang on for dear life.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/110882-kak-bidding-fallout-are-manchester-citys-methods-the-future-of-football#comment_body_502427
Kenny Smith – go bust some City ass for your club please
evening hugh. I used to be scared several times when Gilberto was brought on in games as a sub. This was nothing recent it dates back to 2004/05 season
Having great stats says that you are doing something right.
If you say I am bad manager, but I have won 10 out of 10 games… the stats tell you I am a good manager.
The same with playes… if I am ranked the 15th best midfielder in the league by official stats… it show that I am not a crap player.
Gilberto was a world cup winner… he didn’t need a wide range of passing… just like Denilson doesn’t it he is going to play that role.
S. Gouvu of OL has suffered an injury and is out for the rest of the season. OL already had an interest in signing N’Zogbia, a target that is becoming more and more realistic. So, thank god, he’s probably not comming to Arsenal!
Evening Grovers!
Just had someone on my blog saying that Rosicky is not injured but banned for taking drugs!!!
I can’t see it being true!
anyone watching barca ath madrid?
Pleb is playing and the barca players are goin out of their way not to pass to him. And when they do its a shit pass. Quite funny
I’m in moderation?????????????
Oh noooooooo! Pedro and Geoff! whats happening!
Don’t tell Paulinho! haha!
On that regard u are right Pedro. A striker might have stats reading 9 in 18 games which is not bad at all. Looking deeper u might find out that he has only scored in 3 games (3 hat tricks) and no goals in 15. Not as nice anymore eh.
A lot of ppl say Ade scores only in games against weaker sides. To an extent they are true but he scores most of his goals away from home which means he is effective in away games. He has scored like 6 goals this season I believe and there is a hattrick in that total meaning he has only scored in at most 4 premier league games which is poor.
My mistake!
I wrote the address wrong! Ha ha
Evening Grovers!
Just had a comment on my blog saying that Rosicky isn’t really injured, he is banned for taking drugs!
Big groan from camp nou. Poor pass from Pleb…
Big cheer coming. Messie coming on. Wonder who for?
yep, our old mate.
imagine eboue coming off for Eduardo. similar reaction
nice move Alex
Franchise,
That was my first full season of Arsenal and even then I knew that G.S. expanded the field for the opponent. His lack of mobility, same w/ Song, created gaps other players had to defend or create in.
And Red Freddie was my favorite.
Wrighty, I heard the same thing a while back.
He has been playing in a midfield that lacks creativity… you can’t really blame him.
He has 7 goals and 4 assists in the league and 11 goals and 7 assists overall. He’s doing alright.
I can’t believe its true!
Heard he likes the snow and they won’t play him until he cleans up in case he gets caught
Some people eh Wrighty?!
it seems more viable than this bullshit injury explanation
Wrighty, not in a million years!
We’d sack him and claim back compensation like Chavski did with Mutu.
It can’t be true can it Pedro?
I think not…………
I’m not saying its true, or that I believe it. Just what I heard.
I was there when he last played. I took my Dad to that game.
He’s just unlucky with injuries. VERY UNLUCKY!!!!!!
Im not slating Ade Pedro cos he scores important goals. I was just trying to explain why stats should not be taken on face value alone. Certain stats like 30 goals in all competition in a season for a striker are a hallmark and no one really cares the lil details (unless ethan) 20 league goals in a season for a striker is also a good achievement
Wrighty, if we could get shot of an injury prone player becasue he was a coke head… we’d be all over it!
Why would you pay a footballer £50k a week not to play until he clears a coke habit! haha!
I read your blog earlier Wrighty… I’m not worried about Arsh going on strike… he’s given them 8 good years… they should let him go gracefully.
Maqitlarge and Pedro,
The commenter on my blog said George Graham’s son told him.
a bloke in a pub situation, so probably untrue. I heard it a couple of months back and thought about posting it. Thought better of it as its negative heresay, but interesting you heard the same rumour Wrighty
Kelsey is friends with GG… we’ll ask him later!
Not the sort of goss you’d imagine the big man spreading around!
Its bollox Wrighty. Long time no blog Wrighty
Pedro,
I don’t think it will come to that anyway matey. A compromise will be reached.
just to entertain the idea Pedro… what if he isn’t injury prone… just addicted and the club are trying to save face all round
irish
is that abusive enough for u??? lol
Wow, Kelsey is friends with GG! Amazing!
I hope not I must add
You can still be drugs tested when you are injured. I am pretty sure the NoTW would have the scoop on such a story! They caught him with the brasses in Germany.
You don’t pick up a coke habbit at 27… especially not these days!
Franchise,
I’ve been proper grafting lately mate. Had no time really!
No one likes to hear that Wrighty! Still, at least you are busy!
Rosiky on drugs, lol, there probably is a mention in his contract about taking illicite substances, or with the sponsors, so no otherwise he’d be out faster that Gallas lost his captaincy..
Hope you’re right Pedro. Would be a massive waste and a shame. Well, the injury is anyway as he isn’t playing but thats unavoidable.
Just want to see him back because he’s class and we haven;t seen the best of him.
BTW, I eventually sold my pair of tickets to Bolton. To a bloke and his young son. He took him to his first game. the lad’s face after the game when I picked up the tickets was a picture. Beaming from ear to ear.
It made my day as thats a gooner for life now!
Maybe if Le Boss was his drug dealer! Do you really thin Wenger would accept that, hell no!!
Good to hear from you.
Any1 watching Barca – Atl Madrid???
Pedro,
Its good I’m busy but I’m cream crackered! Ha ha.
Anyway on that note I’m going to Bedfordshire (As Pedro would say!!!!) Ha Ha
I’ll try and get on tomorrow!
I miss Le Grove and writing Wrighty7!
Keep it Goonerish my fellow Gooners!
Maqitlarge… I’m glad they went to a gooner and a newly baptised gooner! Excellent work!
Oh and we would keep paying for his habit, LMFAO!!!!
yeah Kenny was good but SB (who you replied to) isn’t a City fan ha ha
but he talks shit like that all the time – apparently Brazilian players can walk on water.
Did you see most of the replies – All the City ones are “You are so jealous cos we will break the top 4″, I told them they’d never be bigger than United. They will not like that one bit LOL
i am franchise.
still undecided on yaya. but decided on Pleb. TWUNT
Catch up with you later Wrighty!
I’m off now…!
Have a good one Grovers!
iniesta is class
lol id call them a complete bunch of man utd wannabe cunts if you wouldnt give me into trouble for swearing lol!
i just replied to the nearest one i saw. im off to be now.
mail me if you need anymore support on B/R tomorrow. if youve still got my address
true Maqit. He is more destructive than Cesc cos of his pace (acceleration) and shooting. Full of tricks too.
Irish, you shuold have asked them if they meant the top 4 of the championship
He can play as a CM/AM or on the wings. Very good player Iniesta is
and a major reason why spain won the euros.
one of those players that never (ok very rarely) loses the ball…
remember when we had those players?…. them the days
ha ha since they are annoying me you can call them what you want – but don’t swear too bad cos you’ll get a telling off from the owners of the site LOL
Maq – LOL they can play “battle of the money” with QPR
ok irish ill try not to. but for now i have a hot date….. with my bed.
til tomorrow
like buying whitechapel and old kent road on monopoly! whoopdidoo!
yea Maqi i agree hleb was horrible tonite. when busquets cut in front of him and recieved iniestas cross then took the shot from that terrible angle instead of cutting it back to him when he stood in yards of space spoke volumes . the fucker deserves a rough ride and he is getting it good ATM
what you make of yaya i still can’t see why wenger won’t give kolo a chance in the same spot they are so similar IMO
Aint it amazing that
Puyol
Iniesta
Messi
Xavi
Bojan
Pique
Busquets
are all from Barca academy
I cant wait until we have like 3 english academy products in our first team. I would take one for a start And u know his name.
hows that lad we got from bolton doing? kyle bartley is it?
even the ‘dodgy’ Valdes
Imagine Henry going to Barca to become captain. The fans would not accept it at all. That is what happened with Gallas. His was even worse bcos he was from our rival. Tell me…. do u think wenger would have given Gallas the captaincy if he weren’t French???
I’m off folks
Tomorrow we sign Arshavin
Can someone fill me in on the Rosicky rumors?
hi Pat its just pure speculation. Someone commented on Wrighty’s blog that Rosicky wasnt injured but has a drug problems. George Graham’s son apparently told him this.
Bollox i say
Barca have a very stong tradition of giving captaincy to Catalans
when puyol leaves xavi wld be given the band when xavi leaves iniesta or messi
Here’s some stuff off SSN
Quincy (yes our ex) and Appiah played for the scum in a behind closed doors friendly to try and win a contract.
Bullard has had a 5 mill bid made for him from Bolton!
McShane, who you all rate so highly(lol) has been called back to Sunderland and Boateng fucked his knee tonight, so neither will play on Saturday.
Plus Shrek out for 3 weeks with a hammy!
pat
last i heard his agent came out and said in anger that he WILL PLAY AGAIN as is scheduled to return in MARCH .. but wenger being safe it will probably be more like april .
and injured again by may
he had better not come back for 2 months then want a transfer !!!
or wage rise !!!
some rumors surfaced that he will never play again , (probably started by a fan
)
im just worried about his contract when is it up ?
he is a great player but cant string more than 5 games together before he’s injured again !
its an understatement to say we have missed his class , and had he stayed fit and impressed he could have been captain by now !
but more importantly anyone know his contract status ?
Yeah, he’s on 20 lines a night!
Away from Arsenal, former winger Quincy Owusu-Abeyie is currently having a trial with arch rivals Tottenham. The Dutchman left London in January 2006 amid allegations of drunken antics and drug use. He has since moved onto Celta Vigo and Birmingham on loan, but should Spurs chose to make his deal a permanent one, his current employers Spartak Moscow would forward some of Daniel Levy’s pennies straight into Arsène Wenger’s transfer fund.
And I can’t find Simpson’s goal anywhere
OFFICIAL: Milan Sign Gremio’s Mattioni
The Gremio defender Felipe Mattioni Rohde has officially signed with the Italian giants AC Milan.
pat
so what ?
if its got nothing to do with arshavin who gives a fuck !
GG9
where are you lad ?
cheers for the back up last night !
how did the 2nd test go ?
i saw the 1st test at my home ground in perth ..
not a good return to aussie cricket spectating for me im afraid
i thought if i dont watch the 2nd one they might win
Worst player to ever wear an Arsenal shirt……
Gus Ceaser anyone….
“Bergy hints at Arsenal return”
YES!!!!!!!!
ethan, he’s a defender. Milan are stacking up on even more defenders. It is related to Arsenal. Come on, common sense. Use it
iceman, he could start ahead of Ade!
Ethan, ya from Perth?
benno
i lived there for over 25 years yes mate im a brit but
came on the too and from 7 quid ticket back in the 70′s
PAT ..
it doesnt relate to us as we are not selling gallas and senderos returned , they needed someone to
eleviate there long term age problems , im happy for them that they signed someone but what on earth does that have to do with the arsenal ?????
benno
i live in thailand now however
sun, birds and cheap beer
HEAVEN !
Wenger might have let want aways go in the past but he needs gallas and im sure he will be with us at least the rest of this season and at 32 he hardly fits the bill as long term replacement for AC .
senderos failed to impress so unless we are loaning them nordveit i cant follow where this is going ?
Ethan, ahh fair enough. Yeh beer is too fucking expensive here, so much cheaper in England. Been here 4 1/2 years now, would never move back aye, even get more live EPL footy on TV here than in Engalnd lol

Milan Set To Accept Manchester City’s Kaka Bid

UK tabloid The Daily Mail claims that AC Milan will accept Manchester City’s €110 million offer for Brazilian superstar Kaka.
Mark Hughes, the Sky Blues boss, chose to chase to 26-year-old after the club’s Arab investors handed him a short-list of January targets that also included Lionel Messi, David Villa and John Terry.
The former FIFA World Player of the Year’s agent revealed recently that talks were underway between the two clubs, and that it was “not impossible” that a deal could be completed this month.
However, the player himself has been quoted this week as saying that he wants to remain at the San Siro for many years yet, even though he hopes to experience Premier League football at some stage in his career.
City are prepared to make Kaka the best-paid player on the planet, with reports suggesting that wages of €82 million over five years are on offer.
But while the former Sao Paulo star is uninterested in money – or so he and his agent claim, in any case – he hasn’t ruled out the move entirely, according to The Sun.
Britain’s top tabloid reports that Kaka could yet sign on at City, provided they agree to insert a series of get-out clauses in his contract.
Under his terms, the Rossoneri hero will only join the Eastlands outfit if the following promises are made: Shiekh Mansour and Abu Dhabi United Group keep control of the club; City qualify for the Champions League within the next two seasons; his representatives retain his image rights; and Robinho is not sold.
Paper talk at best, but it will be interesting to see how this burgeoning saga unfolds. Let’s hope it’s more entertaining thna the Cristiano Ronaldo-Real Madrid affair…
YES ive got ESPN cable here and can see all 10 games a week , la liga every bloody thing !
i like perth however used to live in the foreshore in south perth ! a walk down too see the sky show , its getting that time , oh the good old days ..
but me and the wifey decided to move here in her home country , the cost of living is far better here than australia .. and got everything plus more here , so i dont miss out at all !
i maybe miss a MRS MAC cheese n bacon pie but i can still get the 4 -n 20 ‘s here so life is sweet
lol if all u miss is the mrs macs pie you aint doin too bad!! Yeh would of been goin south foreshore for Aussie day but have to make a sudden last minute trip back to england tomorrow so im gonna miss it. Was gonna try and catch an arsenal game whilst i was back, but they’res no home games while im back, so guess im gonna have to miss out.
Yeh we usually get at least 8 or 9 EPL games, sometimes all 10 depending on kick off times, on Fox sports, and then ESPN does la liga, and setanta does SPL, so we’re not lacking in live footy, even got the A league if you want to sink that low lol, been to see the glory a couple of times, usually a good day out, but thats live footy, more often than not it is, even if the football is shocking standard. I thjink the fact that Eugene Dadi is one of the leading goal scorers in the league says it all lol
Zenit St. Petersburg’s talismanic midfielder Andrey Arshavin is hell-bent on sealing a transfer to Arsenal this transfer window.
Reports in the Russian tabloid Life suggest that the UEFA Cup winner and Euro 2008 star is willing to pay a quarter of his own transfer fee in order to escape the shackles of his employers.
Zenit are holding out for a €20m offer from any of Arshavin’s potential suitors, a Tsar’s ransom if you ask me. The 27-year-old’s preferred destination is The Emirates stadium, but Arsenal are reluctant to offer more than €15m for the playmaker (£13.5m).
In a sensational turn of events, Arshavin is set to take the virtually unheard of action of paying his own transfer fee (well, part of it) in order to make sure he is an Arsenal player before February rolls around.
Andrei Arshavin is reportedly willing to pay the €5mil required to make up the difference between the fee demanded by Zenit and Arsenal’s offer – paying, out of his pocket, a quarter of his own transfer fee.
The report also suggests that Arshavin traveled to London and stated that, if this is to happen, the Russian international will ask for Arsenal to up their offer to match Arshavin’s current contract at Zenit so that the man dubbed the ‘baby-faced assassin’ is not left too far out of pocket.
Arshavin is set to be earning a wage somewhere around the £85,000-per-week mark at cashed-up Zenit and it is unlikely that the Gunners will be willing to break their strict wage structure in order to accommodate Andrei’s exorbitant demands.
The veracity of this article is certainly up for debate, although if it is accurate, this latest pledge, coupled with the player’s threat to go on strike until he is allowed to leave, demonstrates just how desperate Andrei Arshavin is to join Arsenal.
i like what i read Pat, but why would he pay his own transfer fee, to then jeopardizer the transfer by asking for stupid wage demands. that part just makes no sense
I here he is taking a pay-cut AND paying his own transfer fee…thats incredible.
Its unbelievable.
Still at least that’s squashed the City and Milan rumours.
This needs to be over already………. How much longer………..Also where’s our DM Wenger?
Yeah
benno!
the queens pub up the road prior to the glory matches!
hot days, and cold beer ! hmmm!
your right the standard is pretty shite like old 3rd division stuff but its all about the culture
of match day more so than the quality of players displayed, if you take it for what it is , the hecklers in the crowds and the general atmosphere its the closest thing you can get too the real thing, you dont miss out on the game day feel too much .. its a team to get behind and i was lucky enough 7 years ago that the glory was in the top 2 or 3 teams … we never won anything ,got too a final or 2 but we were always in or around the top 3 or 4 ..
sounds familiar huh
just an article i found
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=609348&cc=3436
possible cheap, experienced stop-gap solution to midfield? He has been a trouble though in most the teams he’s played in
obviously arshavin hasn’t been watching us play recently !
its pretty embarrassing that the player has to pay 33% of his own transfer fee cause tight ass arsenal wont coff up the cash too come and join us !
i for 1 will cheer his admiration 4 us and effort if he does join , i thought he was a money grabbing merc like ade !
well if this story is true .. he is 1 of the few who would not worry about the $$$ and care more importantly about the history and prestige of joining our club .. a rare trait in todays footballing world !
arsenal snap this lad up !
he is quality and has morals !
If this is true, we should fire Gallas and give the 10 shirt to Arshavin!
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4793865,00.html
will be next week an arsenal player!!!
morning all,
no news is good news………..but not in arsenal’s case.
if arshavin is such a benelovent fellow,why is his agent saying wait until next week.only 2 possibilities for me.1)zenit are still hoping someone else will come into the bidding or 2)they are still haggling for a few more million. if reportedly the agent wants 5 million and arshavin is to chip in himself,zenit aren’t going to get a lot out of the deal with the agents demand. i said it yesterday that wenger will know exactly what is going on,so if 33% is already saved,we should put in a realistic bid,give them 24 hours and then put the onus on them to take it or leave it.
Morning Grovers, today’s minging efforts come courtesy of Duvel
Maybe I am being too cynical, but my limited experience of footballers is that they tend to be focused on the here and now and like to see money coming in, not going out. If this story about Arshavin is true, I will be extremely surprised.
You’ve got more chance of finding rocking horse shit, than that story being remotely true…………
Maybe he’s just that desperate to move on…………And feels that no one moving for him NOW he’d have missed his chance to play on the main European stage………….
I did hear one positive about the Arshavin lad, he actually speaks fluent English……..
Ah see I heard he took a crash course in English………………….
morning all
NEW POST!
I know this is a late comment… but why are we not in for Palacios? I know he had a trial with us in 2007, but he looks good…. Prem experience, not cup tied for the champs league…?
It is not a fact that 24% will not renew and if it so, we have 60000 waiting list for season ticket plus it will be a chance to get rid of glory-hunter morons like the author of this article.
Real fans dont support success, we support the club no matter the circumstances [good or bad, terrible early 80s or successful early wenger years] bcuz of our passion for the club and generation support passed down.
