So we are being tipped to move in and get a cut price deal for Jan Klaas Huntelaar as he doesn’t want to stay at Madrid and Madrid don’t appear to rate him higher than Dolphin head, how funny is that?
I don’t think we need anymore strikers, 16 appears to be enough, think about it, we have Eduardo, Robin Van Persie, Nikki B, Adebayor, Arshavin, Carlos Vela, Theo Walcott, Homer Jay and that’s just the first team.
However if Barcelona persist with their spoilt brat way of doing football, that is to say, we want who Arsenal have every year, and Arsene continues to bend over which of course brings them back every year, we will sell him. I would prefer we swap him with Madrid, for say Huntelaar and Ramos, now that would do nicely.
I think Ade can do a good job, but I also think his head has been turned, it just remains to be seen if anyone rates him after such a shit season, we’ll see, but it’s a nice option if we have the balls, do you Gazidas? well do you?
Samir Nasri says, why do we need another midfielder? We have Arshavin, which is what I was saying yesterday, I know I have listed him as a forward (above) but I actually think he’s a midfielder, like Diaby is.
Theo apparently isn’t happy with £50k a week and like all players these days he doesn’t seem to understand that the world is in the shit, but giving an average player like Ade £85k a week kind of makes you understand why Theo wants more, I say pay it and move on, get rid of half a dozen kids we know will never make it and save some money, if you want help deciding who, I can name 4 in the first team we don’t need, one I’ve mentioned today, the other three I talked of yesterday, but I also said I wouldn’t go there again and Pedro has his poll to announce and as I don’t know that result, I’ll keep quiet.
Now I don’t know why, but last night we had some sillyness on the blog, I won’t name Ethan, Raddy or Rtist, as that makes me part of it and I wasn’t, but Pedro and I can’t police Le Grove all day and all night, so we rely on you Grovers to get on, and 99% of the time you all do, blimey you even meet up and some of you start your own blogs! But people, we need to keep it friendly, I will go back and look and the perpertrator will get sin binned for a day, if in fact there is one, we can’t call each other bad names, but sometimes the arguing gets a bit much, I hate to see regulars stomp off so I hope we can forget this and move on, the blog wouldn’t be the same without you all, but arguing stifles debate and turns people away.
My advertisers hate it and I lose money, and I need all the money I can get to buy Usmanov out.
Have a happy day todays Grovers, it will soon be Sunderland and our chance to see Arshavin!
Update:
Who is most likely to make the grade?
Denilson 83%
Eboue 1%
Song 15%
(Vote Count 1027)
Now, that result was kind of expected… the question that really needs answering is as followed:
Will Song make the grade at Arsenal?
Poll in the sidebar —>
we should sell 5 players in the summer
ade-22m (very poor since signing a new contract)
eboue-6m (do i need to say anything more)
song-4m (good player but not of arsenal class)
gallas-5m (playing well but past his prime …will be 32 soon)
almunia-3m (does not command his area well)
total-40m
need a good center back -10/12m (chilleni is the best option….
striker-15m (huntelaar is very good )
defensve midfielder-15/20m (essien is great but will not get him…..other options de rossi, van bommel,matiudi,velsco……)
if man city come back again for toure and offer 10m plus richards we shold take it he will cover for rb and cb …….
yeah i agree with both of those ja, especially sunderland. I do think there could be a chance eboue might come in against roma, or if not eboue maybe van persie, have to see though. Eduardo’s knock seems to have really knocked the stuffing out of the gooners and though it’s a bit shit im still really looking forward to saturday and arshavin
A,
oh yes I saw that.pity,no need for it.
i hate say that but i would not be suprised if eboue started,i would have gone for vela,but remember wenger has given him anew contract so thinks he has a future i dont agree with that, i would go with nasri and song in the middle but once and play ashivin on the right,i know there is no edwardo but i feel if you can play with same fast pace football we should when
i feel with all the young up comming wingers and attacking players we have like ,vela,wilshire,merida,trora,wilcatt i realy dont think eboue will get much chances in midfield next season,plus i think wenger will get at least 1 midfielder player in the summer
disagree with quite a bit there ron – eboue has to stay unless we sign a really good sub right back, song has to stay or we need to sign two DMs, almunia has to stay or we need to sign a keeper! Also disagree about chiellini and huntelaar, neither are what we need, chiellini isn’t tall or a powerhouse, and huntelaar couldn’t play arsenal style football, and is too slow for how we want to play!
We should (and could well) sell –
Ade £15-25 mil
Diaby £8-12 mil
Simpson £3-6 mil
Randall £2-4 mil
Gallas £6-8 mil
Bring in a top, tall strong powerhouse of a centre back, £8-12 mil, maybe someone younger like sakho.
Also bring in a top, powerhouse of a DM, very possibly yaya for £10-12 mil.
That’ll be it, and all we need really!
Bloody hell!!!
Is it really that bad in GB now. I was quite keen to take a trip to Old Blighty, but maybe we might just stay @ home & have our next holiday up in Port Douglas, Noosa or somewhere.
Hello all
Hi george – the poms are gettin close in the west undies
sell eboue and bring richards who can cover at rb and cb…….while diaby is a good player if he remains injury free …..and i think we should sell song and i think 1 dm is enough…while coquelin will be in the squad next yr….while chilleni is probably the best cb in Europe in current form….while sakho is a good player but at 18 is young…..
agree with you on randall and sell senderos when he comes back….simpson is 50/50
Is what bad in GB george ??
Yeah A great lest sign another 19yr old French prodigee
Sakho is only 1/2 an inch taller than the highly and more rated chiellini so if chiellini is short so is sakho
Yaya sign him and loose him, song, eboue who u want to keep and kolo for next years nations cup
u seem to be obsessed by african players. i think we have too many already
rico
What people have been saying about the place on here.
ah, got you george
* let’s
**obsessed with
I’m wondering if this could be Geoff as a cub.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm6JFoJpBbA&feature=related
I meant sign sakho as well as a tall powerhouse, someone who can push for a first team place and be a good squad player whilst developing. Not sakho to start, sakho because he’s one of the highest rated young centre backs in europe, and centre back is the one position where we don’t have any really top talents coming through!
Yaya is by far the best dm who’s available, played at the top level, in a side which play as similar football to us as anyone in europe so we know he’ll settle ok and not be technically unable to cope as with baptista, and he’ll definitely be available in the summer, i really think it’s likely to happen.
With the african nations there’s talk that the 2010 will be the first one moved to the summer, and even if not a player from an african country is affected less by the african nations than anyone in south america. Vela’s development has been massively hampered by going to south america, gilberto’s arsenal career essentially ended because of the copa america etc.
If there was a european equivalent of yaya who wouldn’t have their club career affected by internationals then awesome, but I don’t believe there currently is
also – song and eboue will only be back up, so losing them for the african nations if the dates aren’t changed really isn’t a big deal, we can cope for 3 weeks without a couple of our reserve players
Yaya is soooooo over rated IMO. Good player but cant lace Vieira’s boot. Is Yaya half the player Essien is???? ii wld take a 32 yr old Senna over Yaya anyday
george, you mean he was once a Panda
I’ve gotta admit after watching the work rate/cohesion between Vela & Eduardo/Bendtner (I know it was only Cardiff), how refreshing it was to see, rather than that loafing Adebayor. Pull your finger out Ade, or next time Arsenal will call your bluff.
A – Where did you hear that please about the ACON ?
rico i don’t think Shirty
I mean Geoff would Panda to anyone.
i wouldn’t franchise, yaya’s height would be invaluable to us, senna is a midget, doesn’t have the physical power of yaya. Of course yaya isn’t fit to lace vieira’s boots, there isn’t a similar midfielder in world football who is! I can’t see a better option than yaya who would be available, we need height, power, and general ability. Yaya isn’t the best player in the world, but would fit our needs exactly, has experience, and is available
george
can’t remember exactly where rico, there was alot of talk about it last championships and people said it would be seriously talked about for the 2010 one onwards, just remember hearing rumours it could well happen, really cant remember where though!
Hope it does get changed, poor old kolo hasnt been the same since the last one..
Comon A are we talkin about the same Senna? Are u sure you have watched Senna b4? Senna not as physical as Yaya? Yaya from what Ive seen isnt as physical as u r making him to be. Im not saying we go sign Senna but if I had a choice Senna all day.
senna is physical and energetic franchise, but like makalele, not like vieira. Yaya is no vieira but he has the same physicalities, he just brushes off opponents with ease, as well as the fact he’d win the ball in the air, which senna wouldn’t. Yaya could never be bullied, which is the reason we’ve lost games this season, both in the air and on the deck, yaya would solve that problem. Song could solve that problem too, he has the physical attributes, but just not great ability! Yaya is very talented too
de roosi is the best option ……would not be available tough…..van bommel might be available for free…matuidi is good but young……we need experience in cm
I dont understand why we just dont get Appiah for 2/3 seasons, give Coquelin time to make that midfield spot his – thats why imho arsene wont sign a 24-26yrs old player for the middle – we have Barazite, Coquelin, Bischoff, Merida, Song, Diaby, Randall, Denilson, bloomin henry, thats so many….
Time for a clear out, boot sale anyone
All a bit quiet, so I am off guys, catch you all sometime tomorrow
rico01 …….barazite and randall are not good enough…..merida, bischoff are attack minded midfielders….while denilson is not a dm …..while diaby he can be a dm but he has been played all across the midfield and i think wenger does not know where his best position is….plus he hardly remains fit…..
noone will touch appiah because of dodgy third party ownership type stuff, that’s why.
Barazite isn’t a centre mid really, nor is bischoff, and randall will be gone in the summer. i think coquelin will end up as our first choice right back, ramsey will come into the centre! We’ll sign someone about that age in the summer rico, i’m convinced of it, and 80% sure it’ll be yaya, just got a feeling!!
Do u know the players Senna played ahead of in Euro 2008? Yaya are not even on their level. Yaya can never be bullied and Senna can. Yet he was identified as the key reason why Spain won the Euros cos of the defensive stability he gave the midfield. Really A sometimes I dont understand ur points. Who are the bully boys that Yaya can withstand and Senna wld struggle against?
I think next season, we’ll have a new dm (yaya), and cesc as first choice pairing, and song, denilson, ramsey to back them up
rico
i think appiah is very injury prone and i dont hink is willing to payout 50,000 a week if he always injued,but i think you are wrong he has alrready sined aa at 27 and is looking to bring more experiemce allthe players you have mentioned are up and comming all have very limited expience
shaktar have scored against spuds……gomes is a great keeper probaly the best…….that is what spurs thought when buying him…….hahahaha
Yes im liking the reports of ADE being linkd with a move,
sell sell sell him now.. any thing over 10 mill will be very much welcome i say..
i wont say no to the hunter if we got him aswell..
Next season imo coquelin will partner cesc. He is or future.
having said that. ADE and YAYA in a swap deal. ill take that
yes pedro
love day is ruined alright ! some people just cant keep it in there pants
but i know what GMR means , he offers an opinion and gets slayed for it !
maybe all the great characters on here should just turn into yes men .. lets turn into ACLF and all agree with each other , even if we dont really agree ! or all just bin one type of opinion !
you know why i got banned from ACLF ?
because i said flamini and before that TH14 would leave !
that ade was crap !
and that if i was diarra and wasnt played enough id leave too ! leaving us with no midfield players left if wenger wasn’t careful !
and all the argumentative twats just couldn’t handle my opinion !
but as ever as it appears today, im wrong on so many levels !
the only negative re Senna is his age. much better player than yaya if barca have a gem in yaya why wld they be lookin to sell? neither wld end up at the club IMO so its pointless arguing bout it.
it’s not about level of player franchise, it’s about style of play, and senna’s style of play isn’t what we need, just as alonso, carrick, mascherano’s aren’t. We’ve been bullied massively by teams this season, with every goal kick and long ball just being easily taken down by the opposition midfield because our midfield is so small. When song plays that problem is solved to an extent, but song doesn’t wuite have the ability to be a regular, and probably never will, which is why we need someone of similar stature to come in. It’s exactly the same problem we had last season with long balls, it wasn’t to do just with the defence, the lack of height in midfield killed us too.
A ..
thats why i think wenger missed a Trick with Not going for Kompany or Even Felani of everton..
Guys – I was just listing the midfielders, and I honestly dont think we will buy or need a Defensive Midfielder – we need a big stron midfielder, who can tackle, get forward and get back to defend. Yes a Paddy type player, he wasn’t a DM was he ??
Appiah is fit at the moment, free and can tackle and i dont think he is very slow either, it was just a thought
ethan;
I really wish you wouldnt beat around the bush soooo much and say what you really think man! Stop hiding your light under a (Gary) Bushell!
Who ruined Love Grove day? Oh for shame…
spuds have conceded the second………
Hi raif – you good?
spuds 2-0 down last i saw
yaya isn’t a gem franchise, but it’s his style of play being exactly what we need! if not him, then we need someone of a similar style of play! Naming players like alonso and senna when they’re different styles of play is just like naming villa or etoo players in completely different positions! The most important thing is that we bring in physicality, we should be looking to bring in the best player with that physicality and style of play, even if there is someone who individually is a better player, but with attributes which aren’t the ones we desperately need
A; I think making Coquelin our 1st choice RB (what have you done with Sagna BTW?) would be a backward step, when he can be a top centre mid and if needed cover at RB/ But thats just my opinion and heaven forfend I upset the old apple cart, corblimey trousers…
its not one mans job to save the team from bullying
senna is ur perfect anchor man, how easy u dismiss players? mascherano, alonso, senna cant play for us cos of our style of play. Really i thought u had a better understanding of footie but with the kinda remarks u make sometimes i doubt that
i dunno about fellaini raif, maybe, but kompany turns like a tanker, and his distribution is below average, especially when he’s closed down. He’s a centre back really and playing for us his technical inadequasies would be shown up much more, much more than baptista was. The big reason i want yaya is because he’s shown he has the ability to play barca style football, so would be fine playing arsenal style football, which is unusual for a big man
hello rico im good thanks.
and im glad the spuds are down by 2 now haha. Were is Harrys Magic gone the little Old Rat face looking prick..
ive never seen a man Tap so many players up in the open as much as i have then Harry Red-Crap.. wanker
how many support the idea of signing van bommel if available …..for free
denilson can play for us, song can play for us yet mascherano, alonso, carrick, senna wont suit our style of play. wow A. u do spit some classics
Franchise – who was your last directed to ??
raif – always good to see them losing, The ‘old bird watcher’ doesn’t look happy
A.. yeah thats why i would like Yaya aswell.
Fellaini and Kompany would be like Last resorts kinda thing if plan a didnt work out.
i honestly think wenger could have workd some magic out of them 2.
but ofcourse there is a list of names that seem to let him down all the time. i dont need to name names we all know who they are.
ron; I was thinking that myself when I watched Bayern the other day. How old is he? 32 or sumfin…
angry – coquelin could be a much better right back than sagna, he would be exceptional going forward too. We’ve lost a big part of our game with how poor sagna and clichy are going forward, and i could really see coquelin becoming our zambrotta or zanetti, his energy and ability on the ball could make him into the best right back in the world. Although he could also be a tremendous centre mid, I think he lacks the physical presence been talking about to be our dm for a few years, and think he’ll be behind ramsey in our midfield too.
Yaya or Song right now, mme mme, probably Yaya
Franchise; I dont think A is saying any of those players wouldnt be an improvement on what we’ve got (sorry for 2nd guessing you A mate!) BUT he’s saying who he thinks is best for us NEXT season…… erm I think!
Ron
van bommel can take a Run and Jump off a cliff.
ever since he Spat at our Legend TH14 (i think TH14) and tried to Kick Lumps out of the rest of the team when he plaid us at highbury, he killed off any chance of playing for us. and the fans made sure he knew it.
i hate the guy
it was to A. he seems to believe we play some kinda cosmic game that those top players i mentioned wont suit
raif – concur with that, he is a cheating git !!
yaaaaaa Angry Loner……he is 32 …..but he will bring experience and good distribution of the ball unlike song who just gives it away…..
lol franchise, come on it really isn’t rocket science just being able to understand the different styles of play even within a certain position. No, denilson has the wrong style to play dm for us, he doesn’t have the physicality for the role we need. Song does have the physicality but not the ability. The need for someone to play with those attributes is the reason song plays for us despite not being exceptionally talented.
every midfield needs to be made up from players with certain attributes. You have to quantify the strengths and weaknesses of a midfield as a whole. Our midfield is massively lacking height and strength, and as we aren’t going to replace nasri, arshavin, theo, cesc etc, the one place we have space to bring in height and power is as a dm.
Come on, i’ve tried to simplify this as much as possible i don’t get how someone just doesn’t get it!?
A; Do you think Sagna offers us less than, say Lauren or Dixon going forward?
Mind you, I did like him when he said Spurs were not a big enough club for him when they were trying to buy him….
Fuck van bommel.. his to old aswell.
if his about 30, 31. then the only thing wenger will give him is PLAY AS YOU PAY. FROM T-MOBILE.
with top up Subs matches lol
Basically what we need is a 6ft 3 inch Flamini… or Song on speed… or Flamini in Gilberto’s body…or…
Franchise – its an opinion, none of us are write or wrong when we talk about what/who we wantm there is no right or wrong – and we all see things differently, most like Nik, I am not so keen, i am no more right than those others, well, maybe i am
ha no probs loner
yeah those players are all top class players, and would be an improvement on what we’ve got to an extent, and certainly much better individually, but aren’t players who bring to the table the things we need most, ie height and power.
And second guessing what responses will be –
I know a DM doesn’t need to be strong and tall, it’s the fact that we are so below average in terms of height and strength in our other three midfield positions that we need to bring in height and strength, as the lack of it costs us frequently, that’s there for all to see.
We have a specific problem, we need to bring in players to solve that problem, not just bring in players for the hell of it who won’t solve the problem!
raif ……i know what he did……but if he sign him he will do to the same thing for us kick the hell of spuds,mancs and others…..that’s what we need
raif; Im picking up a slight negativity towards the idea of signing van bommel there fella!
raif –
ron, in that case he would be red carded each game he played ?
Ron we can get other to do that for us.
his over age, and will demand over the odd wages for a minimum time to ritire at our club. as thats what he will be looking for,
1 more pay deal. not to play his heart out for us.
His a Dirt bag. and i dont rate him either.
It wld be like my knitting, play one, drop three
loner, dixon no, lauren definitely yes! Lauren didn’t have an amazing cross, or shot, but his passing and general footballing intelligence was massively underrated. He came forward and was like another player who the opposition had to make, he had the ability (because of being a midfielder naturally) to play the arsenal way, so made much more space for others and generally was like another midfielder when going forward.
Sagna is completely clueless going forward, and although he’s amazing defensively i think coquelin will be much better, with the space our style of play creates for fullbacks with the wide men drifting in.
Silvinho, cole, lauren, eboue were all very good going forward and became like an extra attacker when joining the attack. Clichy and sagna’s inability to pass etc is something that has affected our style of play alot imo
Loner. ur spider sense is tingling..
and i would say SONG on Crack would be more effective
coquin does look very good in reserved but hwo ell would he doin prem i think he should go out on loan,i dont think the team lacks power not with song and diaby but both are a bit raw and limited in experience,i like the way the midfield is tons of pace and movement that arsenals style
i think flamini is missed because we do not have a good midfielder….he was not a dm but a box to box midfielder …..while denilson and song are not box to box midfielders…..so fill that gap with a player like essein is a perfect example or even de roosi can do it….
I thought he already was
city were 2-1 up till 90 min and now losing 3-2 ……like it
im off for sure now guys, night night
essein….how i would love to have him.
if i was asked to pick One player to have out of the prem. i would be stuck on essein and Torres.
u right ron
Just caught the round up of the spuds debarcle on setanta. Give that paddy a medal for explaining why spuds are shit, against that idiot who tried to say that Tottenham are a big club.
Harry’s tick was working overtime, he’s gone from hero to zero
Harry Redcrapp the man who took spuds down, in more ways than one. “know wot I mean arry”
City losing 3-2??? Crikey!
A; I think that Sagna’s supposed lack of creativity is only an issue coz of the lack of creaticity we’ve had from the midfield and forwards IMO. With the likes of Nasri, Vela, Arshavin, cesc and RbP and Eduardo (sob!) we won’t notice sagna’s attacking short comings fella. IMO, TBH, SALG!
can anyone tell me how did sankho play for PSG against WOFLSBURG
just joking mate it is finished 2-2…..
I dont want Coquelin to go to right back, he looked like a guy who would be massively useful in our midfield, would be kind of a waste if he goes to right back, even though he is great there aswell
i don’t think so loner unfortunately. Whenever he tries to participate in attacks he’s completely clueless, and I fear it’ll get exposed more and more as we go back to an attacking style and there’s more space for him to advance into! I really think coquelin could be an incredible right back, amazing going forward and back.
city finished 2-2….
Ild have yaya over song and denilson in a heartbeat anyway
sagna lookd good when he had Helb playing infront of him.
with Eboue Sagna has more work to do incase and when eboue fucks up..
with Theo.. Theo is soo fast sagna cant keep up or overlap when the time is right.. plus Theo is prone to losing the ball easyly aswell..
sagna is a solid defender and attacker,
as Helb held the ball very well to make space so Sagna could run down the line.
somthing Eboue and Theo Dont or cant do
i don’t think he’d be a waste there sion, I think he’d contribute massively going forward, he could be our dani alves!! IMO it would make a massive difference. I expect us to sign a dm in the summer, we’ve already got cesc and ramsey ahead of coquelin too, I don’t think he’ll get a chance very soon as DM, but could as right back
i wldnt swap sagna or clichy for any1 but their crossing is hopeless
will be interesting to see what happens with coquelin next season actually, whether he keeps playing as right back or gets moved to centre mid for the reserves if randall is offloaded, and in the league cup where he plays
seen, well i think he would be useful for our midfielder, his energy could be like how flamini was for us last year. I do think he would be a great right back, but I hope that doesn’t signal the end for his midfield role
i’d swap sagna for dani alves franchise, and would occasionally against crap teams at home play eboue ahead of sagna, but there are few right backs in the world i’d swap sagna for, it’s just that sagna isn’t perfect, whereas i reckon coquelin could be a near perfect right back ala zambrotta or zanetti!
I think Clichy can improve going forward and given our defensive lapses having a RB who is a defender 1st and foremost aint such a bad thing for me! But I dont think Sagna is THAT bad going forward…. He was crossing OK the other night…
But IG Coquelin develops into a world class RB who attacks like a demon and is defensively sound, who am I to stand in his way???
sagna is the best option at rb better than eboue …..great defensively and attacking wise need to improve his crossing though…coquelin like to see him in dm role ….i think he will be better there….for me sagna is 3rd best rb in europe after maicon and ramos
yeah but with coquelin in we’d have the same problems with long balls in the air we did with flamini. Coquelin has the ability to play with the energy and snappiness of flamini, but with much more ability on the ball, going forward, better technique, and far better reading of the game! I just don’t see him coming in centrally for a good while with our current set up and players
ron dani alves is for me the best right back in the world by a mile!
alves is quality but signing him is unrealistic.
Getting done by long balls has as much to do with starting positions and being able to read the game as much as being tall no? I mean, if it was a REALLY high ball, we’d need DM’s the size of Shaq O’Neill or that guy Jaws from the James Bond film!
I just really can see coquelin being like dani alves. Alves has got 3 goals 8 assists this season, coquelin could do that sort of thing! (sagna has no goals no assists)
i agree sagna is a much better right back ron, but eboue is much better going forward, so i’d like to see him rather than sagna against teams who just sit in their own box against us
Dani Alves is a seriously major twat tho…
oh of course franchise, alves would prob cost £50 mil plus! I’m saying coquelin could do for us what alves does for barca
Sagna scored what shouldve been a really important goal last season tho A. Against the chavs away.
yeah i know loner, but he isn’t a constant threat going forward, alves is, and coquelin will be
A……if he is the best right back then why does not he start for Brazil because he will get exposed……attacking wise fantastic but defensively poor…he looks good for barca because barca play most of the game in opposition half….he hardly defends…
shows you how popular ljunberg was in japan back in 2002
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phg3gaWbsaQ&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbTymx6QqBM&feature=related
best part – 0:50
maicon is better overall than alves IMO. Alves is like a winger playing at RB
how did sankho play for psg against woflsfburg today…did anyone see it…….?
ron; Saw a bit of it last night, didnt notice Sakho as he hadnt been linked to us then!
‘His family hoped to see him become a lawyer but it was always going to be football as far as Eboue was concerned.’
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-424443/The-secret-hurt-Eboue-overcame-road-stardom.html
sakho was linked to us last summer, and again in jan, i don’t know much about him other than he’s very highly rated though!
Obviously I meant this latest time he was linked, erm…
IX, welcome to Le Grove… please do not say Spud or Chav.
Sorry… that was rubbish.
Thanks Pedro.
Considering Vela had his first start in FA cup surely this means he will get his first start in the league soon.
Gutted about Eduardo
I was really looking forward to the weekend
game now that eduardo is sidelined for 2 weeks
im fuckin pissed off i hope he plays the ars shaver
if he plays that twat eboure well he needs to be
commited to the loony bin
Yeh Reggie, made massive changes at a cost to put him in my fantasy team aswell, then AW comes out and says straight after the game i knew he was out for 2 weeks.
Still don’t see why Eboue should play though, just stick NPB upfront with RVP, Vela left, Nasri right, Denilson and Arshavin in the middle. Obviously with Denilson playing just in front of the back 4 and Arshavin behind the front 2
My team for sunderland Benno

i realy dont think coquin is realy being tested in reserves i realy think he needs to on loan,there just certain players are not going make it like mark randal,but couquin looks the real deal very veritile,both manu and arsenal are very quick passing lots pace passing and movement,it will be very interesting to see what he does also with fran merida and bishoff i think he will make it but he neeeds bulk up
coquelin is fantastic leon, but i don’t think he needs to go on loan. He already looks the real deal, very combative getting kicked by men in the reserves, I think like wilshere he’s too good to go on loan. I think he’ll be a central player in our league cup team next year, and will break into the first team squad at times. Hopefully he’ll be the driving force in midfield that guides the youths to the youth fa cup final too this year!!

there is huge gap between reserves and the prem,the one thing we need is experience and the huge mistake wenger has made and be evon bigger mistake to puin all his hopes on such a young player like wiltshire and coquelin it better for to out on loan
there is a big gap, but that doesn’t mean we should let our kids go to the championship where they won’t learn the arsenal way of playing or be protected. Wilshere and coquelin are so good that they need to be protected and introduced gradually. They’re too young to play every game in the lower leagues, as they’ll get the crap kicked out of them, and so good that by the time they’re old enough they’ll be with the first team squad. They need to just be slowly introduced, carling cup, then getting in occasional matchday squad in league, then sub appearances, and finally starts, just like theo.
wenger didn’t pin any hopes on wilshere as such, he’s just protected him and introducing him gradually, next season we’ll see much more of him, and the season after he’ll start regularly

its kicking the crap of them its puts hears there chest it will mind playing the chapoinship put hears on my chest no just joking your wright i forget they are only 16 and 17 but i would put fran merida on loan

Adebayor in his quest to improve his ability
G’day benno, how’s it hanging?
The only way Adebayor can improve his “quality” would be to stop wearing fucking clown shoes….
Everyone ready for a Fun-Friday????
Oooooh, an unintentional hat trick, chamon!
waitin ddm for u to start
Good morning,
Geoff just a quick visit.3 people got abused yesterday,you know who they are, and the same person has done it before this week(not ethan).you red card the guy,and five munites later you rescind it.”arguiing will scare people away” were your words.
Why this goes on,is beyond belief,especially after such a good win on monday.I know you can’t control 24/7,but yesterday was the pits.If people can’t talk civilly to one another,that is against one of your rules.It’s not a case of people being over sensitive,it’s the way they are addressed by others.Your decision,but i advise you take some positive action.
Dennis you caught me unawares, thats cheating
Fun friday began bout 2 hours ago when i knocked off work
Well my fun-friday started when i sat down at work about an hour and half ago, happyfuckingdays….
dennis

i dont know where he comes from but it seems u2 have got a lot in common !
fair point Kelsey but the worst offender is still Ethan. Angry Loner walks a fine line but can pull it back if instructed.
Ahahaha Dennis, how long you got left at work?? This bevvy is going down really well
