So the rumour gathers pace that we are targeting Hangeland or Lescott, I think it’s just what we need, if it is indeed true, but we’ve been here many times before, we need height in the box and we need pace and tenacious tackling, Hangeland may just edge it for me in the height department but Lescott in the English backbone bit, both are obviously speculation so I’ll leave it there, one thing’s for sure, Wenger won’t talk about other teams players, so it’s probably fanciful talk, but with Gallas at 32 and not fitting in, who knows.
A sad day for football saw 22 dead in the crowd for the Ivory coast game, question is, why did the game go on? All on the anniversary of Hillsborough, you would think they could sort out these problems by now, wouldn’t you.
I expect that will have a detrimental effect on Kolo and Eboue so we may have to think about the other options for a while, like Silvestre or Djourou.
Cesc has denied the latest rumours which is great, but it is high time Barcelona and Madrid were brought to book for there continual and deliberate attempts to unsettle our players, and should we ever sell Cesc, we should make sure we don’t sell him to those two.
I would say to them, okay Barca, you want Cesc, we’ll swap him for Messi, they will say no, then Cesc will find out how much they really rate him, likewise with Madrid, if on the other hand they said yes, then that would show Messi how much they rate him, then he will be unsettled and Karma is complete.
I hate the way we allow other teams to bully us, we always have and always will be bullied, it’s time for the empire to strike back, it’s time to show that bullies cannot win, it’s time to show them that we are a big club to, it’s time to show them we are the Arsenal and we too have teeth.
Other news is that Everton beat our ladies and ended their unbeaten 108 game run, it had to happen at some point, at least they are still well clear in their championship race and it will buck them up a bit, they still have to play them again, so revenge is on the cards. Come on you ladies!
Okay so we only have 5 days to wait for a game, I don’t know about you, but this feels like the worst break ever, I don’t know why? Only Nikki B got injured so hopefully he’ll be back by Saturday, I would hate to see the Togo twat waltz straight back in, I would rather RVP and Eduardo got the nod, he really needs to learn some humiliity.
I’m sorry to hear that Reggie may be losing his job, Reggie, it’s their loss mate, I hope you find another soon.
Have a great day today Grovers, countdown has begun!
A – i disagree. I think bendtner has much more potential as a plan b or even a plan a… He is better in the build ups and team play we excel in… Bendtner obviously needs to work on his finishing and compusure, plus he’s 5 years younger…
i’m sure wenger agrees raddy, i think ade was meant to be plan b last season, but injuries forced him into plan a!
that is the big issue – i don’t think ade will accept it, which is why i expect him to leave in the summer.
reva bendtner is much better in the build up play, he’s a much much better all round player.
he isn’t a better plan B though, he’s a plan A, he fits perfectly into the arsenal style of play, though he does have a physicality too.
ade is very big, strong, and powerful, and has more pace than people think, he can cause big big problems for defences by himself in away games up north, or in matches where things aren’t clicking playing our normal style.
ade isn’t a good enough footballer to start games or fit into our plan A and make a difference, but is our best and only real option as a plan B
Reve. I see Plan A as Eduardo, RvP and Theo. With AA playing a similar role to RvP but from the left.
Nik is my Plan B of choice, but I don’t think AW would agree, and to be fair, Ade would have scored some of those simple chances Nik missed.
A. Who gets to start Nik or Eduardo? Tough call …. shame we can only use 11 players
Raddy, why not Nik and Eduardo starting. They are great together…or at least were last season until eduardos injury.
Why is RvP guarenteed a starting place?
A, you and others say that Ade is the best plan b and offers things that the thers dont but what does he offer? Its not his workrate anymore and Bendtners wins a larger percentage of headers. So what does Ade offer than noone else can?
Heh, dayum is this International break boring and it seems like it might mess us up a bit.
This plan A and plan B thing doesn’t really matter for me.
We’ve got 5 strikers who each offer us something different, I’d rather they all fight for places and we rotate, Bendtner and Adebayor in my opinion could easily play up front together, they’ve done it earlier in the season and they played quite well together.
80k a week is the norm for striker now, I bet any of the other top clubs in Europe would pay a lot more, all these Huntelaars and Villa’s would expect a lot more aswell.
Adebayor is not Henry, there is not one striker on the face of the planet that could do what Henry did for us in the Premiership over the years, save maybe Henry himself. 12 goals and however many assists is not that bad, not as good as last season, but then the team played a lot better as a whole last year.
We keep looking for individuals to step up and shine, it’s not going to happen like that, we’re more of a team now than ever.
raddy, based on his performances this season are you sure?
Theo is still a bench option for me… Top 6 would be:
Arsh–Cesc–Diaby/Song–Nasri
Van Persie
Eduardo
I think Diaby might come good… I think the french manager is a twat.. With the players at their disposal surely it must be (4-4-2)
Frey
Sagna
Gallas
???
Clichy/Evra
Nasri
Diarra/Toulalan
Diaby
Ribery
Henry
Benzema
Tell me how that team doesn’t play??
As for england: (4-2-3-1)
———–??? (they’re all shite)——-
Richards/Johnson–Terry–Ferdinand–Cole/Gibbs
———Barry/Hargreaves—-Lampard——
Walcott———–Gerrard————-J. Cole–
——————-Rooney——————-
Carragher is world class A no question about it
Vidic is not over rated IMO
those two are some of the hardest CBs u wld come across in the world at the moment.
A CB’s main duty is to prevent goals and those two fuckers are two of the best at achieving this
bendtner is currently very close to being a first team regular. He links up with arshavin better than vp, or anyone else in our side really, they’re just on the same wavelength!
i really don’t see us having a set first eleven raddy, i think vp, eduardo, bendtner, theo, nasri, denilson, song will rotate, the only players who are absolutely set as first choice are cesc and arshavin, along with the defence. vp maybe up top too. The others will all rotate depending upon form and the nature of the opposition
Keyser, Ade might also be on 110k a week…according to himself anyway.
And 95k(average) a week isnt the norm for a sub…which is what Ade is becoming at the club. Except maybe a chelsea.
keyser for once we agree
maybe twice or more. Plan A plan B thing i dont really get it. What happens when ur Plan A player is injured? Wouldnt Plan B be ur plan A? A striker should be good enough to score and create goals. One would suit a certain opponet style better than the other but the bottom line is a team should play to the strengths of their strikers. Whats the point crossing high balls for Vela when he prefers the ball at feet?
Stu – erm nah actually, according to a third party interview The Sun got off someone who overheard a conversation at an airport, despite no-one else not even the person Adebayor talking to coming forward ?!
Well Keyser, whatever the case he is on too much imo. Im all for rewarding success etc but he won us nothing last season and has done nothing since to justify such high wages.
i almost agree a, but if cesc is fit denilson is on the bench for me in everything except the c.c and early f.a cup rounds…. Diaby or Song are better partners… Denilson has had a decent season, but doesn’t really offer any match winning performances in terms of assists or goals… Even song had a matching winning performance wth 2 assists the other week… That back heel to eboue was sublime lol
But i suppose the same could be said of the mjority of our squad.
But even still Ade did nothing on a consistent basis.
stu – ade’s power and ability to bully defenders is something that noone else has, though the effect of that is diminished without a decent workrate.
keyser having a plan B does matter to me. Even with the invincibles it was always levelled at them they couldn’t beat the likes of bolton away because they couldn’t play any other way. Having ade bullying defenders is that plan B, and has worked very well at times, it adds another option which wouldn’t otherwise be there.
franchise carragher isn’t world class. To be world class you’ve gotta be as good as the top defenders in the world, carragher simply isn’t!! ferdinand is the only english centre back who’s world class, woodgate could have been without injuries, likewise king. Carragher is a fantastic servant to liverpool, and integral to their game, but as an individual player is lacking the natural ability to be classed as world class.
vidic is close to being world class but isn’t there yet imo, ferdinand makes him look better than he is, though he is a very good player
Franchise – We can’t have that can we, Heh, so i’m going to say Vidic and Carragher are a couple of big time cheats.
Exactly, Henry seems to be ok in the air, but we hardly ever played balls there because his pace was strong enough an asset for him to score record breaking amounts of goals.
Everyone’s different, I hope this pushes Adebayor on and wehave 5 strikers fighting for places.
for me i wld still persist with Ade as my no. 1 striker i.e. if he improves his ‘so percieved’ ‘lazy’ attitude. Bendtner for now is still not good enough IMO. When Bendtner is u wld know. Supply Ade and he would get braces and hat-tricks irrespective of the opposition. He is a top player on his day.
Lets just face it. King is the best english defender around…when fit to play.
And imo carragher is world class. He fucking blocks everything and is always a cunt to strikers. Great defender. But right now there are very few “world class” defenders. Imo carragher is one of the best.
Stu – He’s scored at a strikers average this season, he was above average last season and this time he’s assisted a whole lot more many goals, which isn’t even his strong point.
What I don’t get is people then saying he only scored goals last year because of the creativity we had, which is partly rubbish, but at the same time did they expect him to step up and score great goals on his own ? Did they think he was suddenly that good ? Heh.
Do u know how many games Vidic played w/o Ferdinand this season enroute to their clean sheet record? Ferdi was in and out of that squad. Vidic was almost in every game in that sequence. Go tell any top coach that Vidic is not world class and u would render them speechless. The guy is top world fucking class.
Most Utd fans this season have actually been saying the reverse of what u saying A that Ferdinand is making Vidic look solid. These are ppl that watch their club weekly.
There is no point arguing endlessly about UTD players on an Arsenal blog but in all fairness dont take anything away from a top player.
A.- thats not really the point, our plan A is the short passing game we like to employ that gets us through games, I think all of the strikers can easily fit in, yes even Adebayor, but the whole team needs to be playing it, then Adebayors height can be used aswell as an option.
Stu i dont really understand what WORLDCLASSOMETER A is using to judge these players. Carra is easily one of the best 3 CB in the country over the last 4-5 seasons.
van persie injured ffs
franchise ade mainly scores against the small teams, last season he got 11 of his 24 league goals against the bottom 4 teams! he did get some big goals too, spuds brace was fantastic, but he doesn’t get braces and hattricks against the big teams, his scoring record against the big boys is actually pretty poor, even with him at his best last season
Reva; Fair enough. Me callin you a twat was me being ironic (I think its irony? Could be hypocrisy tho?) But you did say this…
ReVELAtion Says:
March 30, 2009 at 18:09
Lovedup ….You have trouble making friends at school?..
————————-
What was that then?
Not trying to start anything, just pointing out shit.
Lets move on…
Carragher aint and never has been world class. he’s a decent standard defender. if he was world class he’d have been a regular for England instead of hardly used sub.
I still think that we have a great team. With proper cd( Hangaland or Zapata) and 2 quality 2cdm’s (Cana, Flamini, Dabo) we have great chance to be dominant force in the next few seasons. I would welcome George Graham as our new number 2 since Pat brings very little to the game. Just my thought.
adebayors attitude was better last year but he will have to play better than he was he does give us a different option up front
he is proberly better away from the emirates imo
My top 10 CB over the last two seasons (premiership)
1. Vidic
2. Ferdinand
3. Carragher
4. Terry
6. Gallas
7. Lescott
8. Laursen
9. Distin
10. Carvalho (wildcard entry due to injury problems this season)
A who has ur Bendy boy been scoring against this season?
yeah but keyser in some matches the quick passing game doesn’t work – teams develop a system that nullifies us/players are fatigued and sluggish/things just aren’t clicking etc. It’s happened to every wenger side, and previously when it didn’t work, there was no alternative.
Ade’s power is an alternative which did us wonders at times last season, and would still be good to keep around.
ade CAN play the quick passing game, when he’s playing at his best, but doesn’t have the ability to add anything to it, which bendtner definitely does, as do the likes of vp, eduardo, vela etc.
Fack this is big month lads (April) … have you guys seen who we playing
4th…Sat… Man City (H)
7th…Tue… Villareal (A)
11th…Sat… Wigan (A)
15th…Wed… Villareal (H)
18th…Sat… Chelsea (WEMBLEY)
21st…Tue… Liverpool (A)
26th…Sun… Boro (H)
Big Big Games.
lovedup the reason carragher was a reserve and a right bk a lot because that happened for liverpool and he never found his comfortable position.
now he has matured in to a great defender over the last 5 years he would easilly be first choice after terry and ferdinand but doesnt play.
franchise bendtner’s strength isn’t his goalscoring, that isn’t what he brings to the team, it’s just a bonus
utd this season have conceded 29 goals with vidic in the team, 23 with ferdinand in the team, vidic played 26 games, ferdinand 24.
not much of a difference, but there is enough of one. the utd fans i know say vidic is very good but overrated, as he’s a good level or two behind ferdinand, but they’re a great partnership
yeah loner – if carragher was world class then he would have been a regular for england for years, which he hasn’t.
fantastic servant for liverpool, but can be made to look like an absolute muppet by top players, and individually is miles behind the top players in terms of his actual ability and talent
A again its van persie and arshavin that are on the same wavelenth i havent seen bendtner and arshavin link up as much
with the first choice thing if ade works hard when he comes back then we will get goals from him.
I hear robin has a groin problem.
Newcastle (18th in table at the time we played em)
West Brom (20th in table at the time we played em)
Cardiff
Hull
Bolton (home and away)
Plymouth
Kiev
Sheffield United
Twente
Franchise, No Toure in Your top 10?
but all cover players dont have to be world class as i read all the time on here from many grovers
A. – Adebayor has scored against the big teams aswell, also you just have to watch some of his goals and ask yourself how many of our other strikers could have scored them.
Our plan A is the passing game, not any player and then you have individuals who add something different to it.
There’s only one way teams nullify us in the premiership and thats to kick lumps out of us, in the past our passing game was excellant and strong enough on it’s own to get us to titles.
Last year we adpated several times when players got injured and we faced differeing teams, until we were left with no other options and we started playing Adebayor on his own up front, it’s when Hleb’s limitations were exposed.
Bentdner has qualities Adebayor doesn’t and vice versa, you just let them fight for places, you don’t try to play to any specific strength except the passing game.
I watched the chav away game again and Ade was great, his ability in the air helped create both goals. Not sure any other player we have could do that.
Just depends if he can be happy no being sure of a start?
A u talking thrash a strikers goal scoring shouldnt be a bonus but the main thing he brings to the plate. How can a striker at 21 be claiming that his strengths are his everything else but his goal scoring? WTF? If u judging Ade by his goals judge Bendtner by the same. Bendtner is too young to claim that his goal making which is not actually great is his strength.
A, i’ve always been a fan of having 2 cb’s that compliment each other rather than being of similar ilk.. We all know ferdinand can bring the ball out from the back and play and start attacks.. Vidic is more the dominant force in the air and last man flying in to tackles… Causing strikers grief and roughing them up is a forte of his… Beauty and the beast as it were (ecuse the pun)..
Of all our centre backs we have no one who can dominate strikers by force.. All a bit too nicey nice for me. Djourou, Silvestre or ,at a push, Song can’t come in and do that job and we are still soft at set pieces and teams who throw balls in the box from the flanks.. Drogba has absolutely murdered us on his day regardless of the senderos thing… If he’s up for it, wembley could turn out to be a very grim day out… It could end up depending how many we can score…
Maciek Toure has been dodgy since January last year
Imo the only difference between the class of 08/09 and the invincibles was that the invincibles side rarely had any injuries to the core of there side.
Anyway we are going to win the premeirship this season by 1 point, when RVP scores a 50 yard powerdriver aginast stoke, last game of the season.
We don’t have one striker who’s got good enough attributes for us to play to his strength alone. How many top teams do that now anyway.
Same with Vidic and Ferdinand, argue as much as you want about one being better than the other, the best option is playing them together.
i agree lovedup ade played well at the chavs and was asked to go on the left and help stop the full back threat.
id still have ade as first choice bendtner is improving still.
Franchise,
Do You give Senderos or Djourou a chance?Do You think that new cd is needed?
thats very true loner – but that’s exactly my point with plan b – both goals were scored by long balls, that’s exactly what he offers to the team and why if he doesn’t throw a hissy fit we should keep him for that purpose.
i agree both have qualities that the other doesn’t, but bendtner’s qualities are more suited to our passing game, ade’s offer us something different.
franchise bendtner’s all round game and link up play is what has made him so highly rated throughout europe, not his goalscoring. ade is a goalscorer and target man, his all round game, intelligence, awareness, technique, link up play etc are very poor, and when he isn’t scoring goals he offers very little else to the team unless we’re desperately hoofing long balls up. ade could never play in midfield as bendtner can.
incidentally bendtner has been better even in terms of goalscoring this season than ade, but it isn’t bendtner’s best attribute by a long way.
agree completely regarding centre backs complimenting each other reva.
kevin; I’ll take that fella!
A. Bendtner’s been even better in scoring ?!
There’s not much point in arguing who’s better for the team because no-one sticks out that far ahead, Van Persie can do what Bendtner does in dropping deep, as can Eduardo, when you’ve got Adebayor to lump balls forward to and hold it up, Van Persie/ Eduardo can easily provide the link up play and passing.
Adebayor’s got 8 assists this season aswell. Again they’re different players and both offer us something different, I love how we don’t know what to expect with how far this team can go together, but at the same time thats the whole point it’s too hard to judge how good we can be.
A Bendtner has played 39 games Ade has played 28 games both have scored 12 each. Bendtner has played the weak teams in the CC etc. just imagine how many goals Ade would have scored against sorry teams like Sheffield and Plymouth???????
Dont tell me about starts and subs bla bla. Henry Henry scored 226 in 369 appearances no one cres how many he started
cares not cres
We dont have any forward with enough quality to solely rely on as rightly pointed out by keyser. we need all of them to chip in. But as with everything there must be order and structure and IMO Ade is still our best overall striker on his day and should start most games when fit
I think we are more of a team now, the goals and assists are spread around more. We dont rely on 1 or 2 people to score so much. Which is nice…
It’s true im not lying. I told all of you when we beat chelsea we would go on a 25 game unbeaten run.
We will beat city 1-0. Then win all our next couple of games, until we meat liverpool. We will demolish them 4-1.
since rafa stopped rotating his first team like a maniac they have managed to mount their first real title challenge in 5 years. knowing ur best 11 is crucial
Hehehe Kevin I like You optimism. I want 4th place in the league, FA CUP and the CL. How we will ned up? As usual-empty handed.
i8-0
looks like the curse of the international bollocks will strike us again, what’s fucking new
But we still don’t have ours. What we will do with Rosicky? What about Ade, Bendtner,m Eduardo. Can Robin play with Eddie?Lots of question marks.
the amount of players we have that always get injured in these breaks is bollocks fucking ban international football
don’t know about that maciek… Tie against villareal is very, very winable… Then the mancs or porto and over 2 legs i’m not having this pre meditated assumption the pundits have taken, in which points to a case they will cake walk the semi…
Chelsea at wembley is winable then it’s lottery final against man u or the everton… Again winable.. we could end up winning both and finishing 5th… The games against chelsea at home and man utd away will define how far up the table we can finish…
There’s also liverpool as in there aswell so villa won’t have given up completely on that 4th spot… They definantly need something against old trafford if we beat city..
Whoops, please excuse the high ramblings with poor grammer above.. You get the jist..
If Porto could somehow get through to the semis. Please!
i said this season keyser/franchise, bendtner has scored 6 in 13(10) ade 8 in 20(2)
why should we be praying the mancs don’t get through, PAt.. We’ll do them. On current form, they’re more likely to hope we have one of those days where we try to walk the ball into the net and can’t score so they have to play villareal…
yeah this season A. bendtner has played 39 games and scored 12. 11 more than Ade
the majority of them goals have been headers i reckon
im loving our renaissance maciek but until we lift something my excitement is on ice
I got a feeling that Porto will knock out ManU.We will see.
BBK not sure but i know dat a lot have been against poor opposition. the guy is working hard for the team now but A is yrying to make it sound like he is an untouchable (remember Mourinho)
then he goes on to say Vidic aint world class. how ironic?
* trying
sooo… Hull City then, latest comment from that twat manager they have has made me laugh:
“There is an independent solicitor representing us and hopefully there will be no bias towards any one club.”
what a total numbskull this guy is!
aaahahhahahaha franchise that is funny vidic ain’t world class i suppose the thing we will hear is senderos and djourou are the best defensive partnership in the world
So if phil brown gets his way, what exactly will happen to cesc.
bendtner has scored 6 goals in 1241 minutes, thats a goal every 206 minutes this season.
adebayor has scored 8 goals in 1787 minutes, thats a goal every 223 minutes this season
god that took me far too long to work out!
Manure over 2 legs in the semis of the champs league, exactly a decade on from THAT fa cup semi final replay we lost to THAT giggs goal, is tailor made for us.
From a season of nothing and general moaning, even some fans questioning the manager… we have a massive chance of becoming European Champions.
i guess he’ll be tarred, feathered and sent back to spain in a strait jacket
hey a how many goals of his have been headers re- bendtner
no vidic isn’t world class yet – he’s very very good but is a level below the likes of ferdinand, puyol and carvalho, therefore not world class. i’m going on what my season ticket holding utd fan mates think as well as my own opinion here. He’s very good, but isn’t as amazing as people make out.
i think too many people are writing villareal off a bit too much
i dunno bbk, we should beat them, but it’s far from a foregone conclusion
Villareal wont be a cake walk… but we will overcome them.
it seems RVP is crocked again, thank fuck eduardo is back…
A u r taking this too far. Bendtner has played 39 games and scored 12
Ade has played 28 and scored 12
in all competitions
if bendtner were good enough he would have started more games. same with vela who gets less sub mins compared to bendtner. bendtner mostly comes on at 60min mark. he still has 30mins in most games to make his mark as a sub but hasnt taken his chances cos he isnt ready. i dont understand how u believe he is good enough to be our first choice striker or one of first 2
A ur season ticket holding fan friend should go to specsavers
exactly to get this far there no mugs people are just assuming we will breeze it i dont take that attitude people dont realise how hard the first leg will be
hahhhahaa francise
or get better seats
he’s come on in – 62, 71, 68, 74, 81, 82, 65, 68, 64, 38
the only time he’s had half hour as a sub was when he came on in the 38th minute cos of injury!
franchise it’s just being more specific, those are the minutes on the pitch, those are the goals, granted just in the prem, though bendtner is better in that respect, i can’t be bothered to do all comps!
i don’t expect ade to start ahead of bendtner much the rest of the season, he isn’t the finished article yet, but is already ahead of ade imo and will become much much better
he comes from serbia he’ll fucking murder yarr NEMAJARR
i would have to agree, unless badey can recapture his form of last season… nik is now ahead of him.
has much better vision and overall team play… both are dire finishers though.
A. Point is you’re guessing and there’s things both players will not be able to replicate that the other can do.
ade and bendtner can both finish with there heads ade is ahead of bendtner in the finishing stakes because bendtner could not finish his dinner in a one on one situation where as ade can just about
van persie has left the dutch camp groin injury he’s out then for 3 weeks fucking typical
who said 3 weeks?
normally groin injury is 3 weeks
Faceman,
Even if we do knock out Villareal and MU( unlikely) we will face Pool or Barca in the final and still lose.
marvellous
:8
keyser i’d say im analysing rather than guessing, my logic is such –
wenger wants to play a quick passing and moving style of play
ade has shown he isn’t very good at participating in the quick passing and moving style of play
bendtner has shown he is very good at participating in the quick passing and moving style of play
regardless of whether ade is more of a goal threat, and better in the air, the number one priority is to keep the flowing passing football going and clicking, and bendtner is much more likely to do this than ade.
Maciek, barca will get taken out by Bayern imo.
I’m with A… and on the goals thing… Ade played the bulk of his games with one of the most creative players in the Prem… Bends hasn’t had that pleasure.
I’d pick Nik over Ade at the moment.
yeah and he’ll get into a one on one situation and miss
anything can happen in the semis man utd dont like playing us as much as we dont like playing them
and the finals 90 mins, we could win against anyone with a good performance espcially against liverpool..
bbk that’s incredibly simplistic, groin injuries can vary massively, could just be a little twinge so he could play against city, could be a bad tear which means over a month potentially. “groin injury” can cover various ailments, we won’t find out til the arsenal club doctor sees him and assesses it
just like with bendtner’s “knee injury”, really hope they’re both ok
i bet you he will be out for a couple of weeks after all it is his turn to be injured
are we talking about the same bendtner here that i watch everyday or sm1 else with the same name? Bendtner can only dream about linking play the way Ade did last season. If u wanna know the meaning of overrated A its the regard in which u hold bendtner. the guy isnt as good as u wanna make him. U cant take a piss behind me and tell me its raining
oh come i hate ade bayor but i would take him starting over nikloss anyday of the year
lol franchise yeah definitely watching different games. Ade at his best is adequate in link up play, bendtner is quality, as vp said a week or so ago
So Robin is probably out for the rest of the season.Great, we really need Eddie to be ready.I HATE internationals. Why we? Why always our players?
pick Nik over Ade that is the guaranteed formula for failure this season
The likes of Newcastle and west brom wont be showing up anymore this season. Bendtners party teams are gone.
Business end of the season begins do u guys really think Arsene is stupid enough to gamble a fit Ade over a misfiring Bendtner? We’ll see
probably out for the rest of the season maciek?! where did that come from?!
A. – Then I’d say you’re analysis is wrong, there isn’t much definitive to prove one way or the other.
Adebyor has shown that he can play the quick passing football we like to play, just he’s the last line, or was for most of last season, where he ends up in the box at the end of a pass or a cross, again they’re different players, Bendtner’s younger so could go on to improve but still drops deep because it affords him more time on the ball to do what he wants.
When he’s asked to think instinctively he’s as hit and miss as anyone else, watch how many times he’ll try a first time pass or flick, it’ll come off at times and others it’ll fail, just like when he has to react quickly to things inside the box.
They both have that problem, but you’d probably negate it to an extent if you played them together.
because maciek they are weak as piss we need to sign some players who are built like a brick shit house, in the summer rather then all these weedy little weeds that wilt all the time, sign some fucking strong players wenger
we will see franchise, i don’t think wenger would be stupid enough to stifle the team as a whole and especially the likes of arshavin by making them play with ade if there was an alternative.
will be interesting to see what happens, i see ade as a plan b sub now
Franchise – You’re just doing the same as A now. Bendtner hasn’t been that bad.
BBK – you mean the type of classy, brick shit house players that do their magic every weekend for the likes of Bolton, Blackburn et al?
yeah faceman the likes of jason roberts and kevin davies would go a miss m8
pmsl
i don do the favourites game here. i criticise players equally and fairly
Ade dont score against big teams
when his goals against AC Milan, Mancs, LPool are mentioned…. ppl say they are only tap ins
when bendtner misses a tap in…. ppl say at least he was in the position to score
when ade’s spectacular goals against newcastle n spurs are mentioned (remember goal of the season and fabregas back heel at home) its a fluke
keyser is right they are both hit and miss but nly one of them has actually proved they can do it on the big stage
plymouth, cardiff etc are long gone conclusions
i agree keyser that bendtner needs to grab the ball and keep it to do anything constructive with it.
he doesnt flick the ball that well and is hit or miss with the quick passing i think he slows the quick play down but is linking up better than he was.
ultimately not ready to be ahead of adebayor
* dont
* only
Badey was woeful before he went off against the spuds, lost 100% in the air to woodgate and every pass to feet bounced off his feet to the spuds midfield.
Bednter came on and won at least 60% of balls in the air and linked up superbly with Rvp… with 10 men!!
Badey has been a greedy git, he has his cash, and that is it now for him.
I have no doubt in time, nik will be the same… attitude wise.
at least jason roberts would give you that power and strength you need to play up top on your own
keyser im really trying my best not to call bendtner shite cos he has improved a bit of recent. its cos we are more balanced in the midfield IMO. I reckon Ade would be back to his best with Cesc, Arshavin, Nasri, Denilson supplying ammo from midfield.
one thing i dont forgive adebayor for was last season away at birmingham when he could of squared the ball to bendtner and we would of won 3-1 that was wrong..
fuck it he’s shit just say as you see it franchise i don’t know about denilson supply the ammo either
Well A, You know our “luck”. And besides we are talking about RVP.
yup kirby, greedy selfish badey cost us the title… we beat brum 3-1 and stay 5 clear of utd and keep the momentum.
then he missed that one on one at the reebok the following week.
he should have kirby he should have…..
Kirby lets not talk about that again as every time i look at adebayor’s face i think of that moment. That was the worst moment for me during my time of being an Arsenal fan. OH and the clichy thing in the same match.
Fuk birmingham
Franchise – Thats the point though, you could just argue the same stuff against Adebayor, the only real probalem I see is that neither is Henry or Bergkamp or any of the others that we’ve been privileged to see down the years.
Kirby – Or the ref could not have been a complete twat, I remember a Birmingham player trying to pull Adebayor’s shorts off in that game, blatant penalty and he just waved it away.
hey kev that was the worse moment of your life, the worse moment of my life was losing that champions league final
Boy Better Know – You’re right, Keven Davies and Jason Roberts would be a great frontline for us.
keyser you know this m8
jason roberts is an english version of drogba
and badeybayor is a togan version of bungle from rainbow.
IF is a strong word lets not go there. if lehmann had allowed etoo to score we might have stood a chance with 11 men especially with reyes who was on form on the bench
and the dodgy almunia wldnt have played
The champions league final hurt…..ok it hurt alot. However i was proud of our players.
Against birmingham the team showcased there disturbing arrogance. I mean what was clichy doing. And ade for ffs pass to your team mate.
Wenger often says that team mates don’t need to get along they just have to co-opperate on the field. For example toure and gallas. But against birmningham he was proved wrong.
yeah that was a bad game i should just forget it but it fucked us in so many ways its hard to!!
that trophy would of topped it all off but no the cunts beat us ARGHHHHH
yeah if henry put his chance away we would of been 2-0 up fuckin belletti at the near post.
pires was well pissed off subbed after 18 mins
i remember pires and cashley sittin on the stage thing at the last highbury game and i was thinking why are them two so moody and it was because they was off.
Henry played horridly bad in the champions league final. IN that season henry was very harsh to the rest of the players……….you no that look.
And for once they showed up at a major game, and he was the one who let the side down.
