First of all, one of our dumped players called one of his suiters Beyoncé, then the other one talks about loving a woman and how he feels loved, the strange thing is neither of them mention their salaries being doubled. Odd that, them leaving for footballing reasons and those of love, I thought we played the best football, I also thought we had the best manager in world football, I can’t comment on the love bit so I’ll have to give them that.
Anyway enough on those two, Arshavin came out and said that we need to repace Kolo, he said that Vermaelen was good but can’t be expected to step in and replace a pillar in defence, so he’s good, but not that good. What does Arshavin know? The last thing we need is new players.
So now we all know that Arsenal are a selling club, we at least should stop complaining that we don’t buy players, the boss has said buying quality players is not the answer so that’s it then. No argument from me. I get bored with signing great players, I like to see the younger ones trying their best, because they are, well young, one day they’ll get good and then we’ll sell them and add to our vast collection of money.
At least we have stopped being Barcelona’s feeder club, Manchester City hold that title now, I wonder who they want next? I think we’ll have to wait until Christmas to find out though, I’m getting excited already.
I’ve now replaced that exciting feeling of buying a new player with that of selling a player, try it yourself, it really does work, oh and the return of injured players. So when they get injured, I get all warm inside as I know I’ll only have to wait a year before they come back as a new signing. It’s like a signing in progress.
Gael Clichy is out of the season opener as will be Rosicky (no doubt) – still when they do come back it will be like having two new signings, so I can’t wait.
At least we’ll start the season at the top of the table, so make the most of it Grovers.
We have been known here on Le Grove to whine and bitch about the club, it’s direction and the choices the manager makes, well not today, today I am going to get behind the management and agree with their philosophy, after all it has been said that buying payers is not the answer, training hard is.
And yes, before you ask, Ferguson, Ancellotti, Benitez, Capello, Hughes and all the other managers than run or have run big clubs are completely wrong.
I will wait for the season ticket rebate as the club have been given £50 million by Man City and haven’t spent it so I guess they will give it to us to lessen the pain of paying more than anyone else and getting least back. I know that sounded like a bitch, but it wasn’t, they will do it won’t they?
A final point but has anyone else noticed that since David Dein has left, we’ve sold more players than we’ve signed and we’ve won nothing, coincidence?
Have a great day and don’t forget, Arsene knows, he’s got something up his sleeve and we’re going to win the league.
How’s that, positive enough?
P.S. Check out the competition we’re running in the side bar —> A free Sony Ericsson WE995 (Worth £500) if you answer the question correctly and get drawn out of hat! What a deal! Sony sure are a great company, probably the kindest I know of… ! Apparently the winner of the comp gets the chance to win tickets to every game of their countries world cup campaign as well! What a prize… well, not if you are from the Cayman Islands or Mordor? Anyway… send your answer in!
Le Grove is now smart phone compatible!

nice.. 1st and 2nd…thanks Albania.

in steve bould we trust
cock!
it wasnt mine, but I thought it would be fitting
haha, that is the funniest post I’ve read in a while!
bloody good post. In selling we trust.
Geoff – Laugh? I nearly shit myself!
Cant agree more with the David Dein part.
He was the man!
LOL @ ‘I’ve now replaced that exciting feeling of buying a new player with that of selling a player’
Pfff, I really don’t get all the negativity and sarcasm, what’s the point? We are in the process of signing players. Everyone says we are only a few signings away from domination. Well, they’re coming!
Practice patience we must, young Padwan
Taig-you missed the f5 boat tday. Everything ok??
who’s coming Chipo?
IS there any chance of Dien coming back, and under what circumstances?
*Dein
Patience is so 2006, 07, 08 and counting…
Geoff, do i detect a hint of sarcasm in today’s post?
Jon Kabira
Players that will be coming are:
Nasri
Rosicky
Eduardo
Di Rossi
Huntelaar
Matuidi
Viera
Hangelaand
did I miss anyone?
Chipo… the post was positive…
How can you not be sarcastic when your manager states that buying players is not the answer?
I know we have sold 2 players to Citi but, lets face it!! We all wanted Ade to be sold 6-8 months ago….if not, then last summer.
Kolo is one that I’m not sure about….but, if Wenger buys well (De Rossi, Matuida and a decent CB) then we may be creaming our pants come may…….oh, and of course Paddy the legend back to come on vs teams like Stoke……..
cant wait to lose my voice sing the Viera song…….always wished that song would be sung around the Grove
LAzer – Our internet is playing up at work! By the time I new their was a new post there were already 8 comments! I wont lie, I needed to miss out soon anyway! The pressure of having to be at the top of my game was getting to me!
sarcastic post of the year
top stuff
Well, that just sums it up – sarcasm is the final refuge of the disillusioned. We are fed up and disillusioned and what does our manager say – he says we think our problems will be solved by new players! Well, if it won’t will you tell what what will? I don’t think so because you don’t know do you?! It’s clear that we are now in a worse position player-wise than we were last season so how we be better than we were last year without new signings? Get a grip Wenger!
Top 20?
oh wow insidealbania so many signings…this is how i welcome them
http://www.flickr.com/photos/atomicshed/141573647/in/set-72057594127303616/
Clichy
There is a limit to patience, how long does the club expect us to wait before we see something.
I honestly am only asking for a proper title challenge, because I know there are no guarantees in football, but to settle for 4rth is just shameful
Top 30?
hahahah Geoff, quality, well done mate.
Chipo, but lets say no one comes in, what will you say then? Just hypothetically.
Top 25 for once.
teerex,do we finally give in?
He never said that.
He said “buying players is not ALWAYS the answer”
If he had come out and said “i will not sign anyone else”, then i would be feeling the same as you all, but he hasn’t said that.
Read his latest quotes, there are things in the pipeline.
“When we find the right players … of course, we do not make money to leave it in the banks,” Wenger said. “We are looking at some possibilities to strengthen the squad and we will only do it for players who it is worth spending the money on.”
And the post was negative. Funny, but negative!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/30/arsenal-patrick-vieira-arsene-wenger
I think Aw has lost the plot. He can’t compete in the market and so he resorts to this statement.
This season will prove whether he is right in not signing players.If the young gunners can get a trophy well and good if not his head will be on the block.
Good Post……
Since David Dein left, we’ve sold more players than we’ve signed and we’ve won nothing, coincidence?
TRUE!!!!TRUE!!!!TRUE!!!!TRUE!!!!TRUE!!!!TRUE!!!! AND
WE WILL NOT WIN ANYTHING UNLESS

4. AN IMMEDIATE TAKEOVER BY RED AND WHITE AFTER BUYING LADY NINA’S SHARES
Duke, if no one comes in I will hit the fucking roof. Of course!
But it is silly to read this much into Wenger’s silly little mind games.
Wolfgang, it’s pretty hard to convince anyone you have no money to spend when you’ve just sold £40mill worth of players and taken £6million off the wage bill.
Christ Pedro, when has he ever said he has no money to spend since we sold Ade and Kolo?! Never!
See his latest quote in my 09.16 post.
btw anyone knows how that company was named Red and White?
good post. no doubt true about dein, though he was pretty damn quick in jumping into bed with jabba
morning all
who says clichy and rosicky are out against everton?
rosicky said he’ll play this weekend
2 years ago our squad was not big enough! Since then we sold or released:
Lehmann
Gilberto
Flamini
Diarra
Hleb
Adebayor
Toure
We have brought in:
Vermaelen
Silvestre
Nasri
Ramsey
Arshavin
The players out were all first team regulars apart from Diarra who perhaps should have been. Out of the players we have brought in only Nasri and Arshavin are regulars and we have no idea about Vermaelen yet!
How can our squad be big enough now? Because it is filled with terrible players? Wenger is getting some basic things wrong!
Senderos – Not good enough
Silvestre – Terrible
Djourou – Average back up at best
Diaby – Not good enough, injured far too often
Song – No where near good enough to start, possible versatile back up
Denilson – Not good enough
Rosicky – Injury prone
Eduardo – Are the injury’s behind him?
RvP – Can he stay fit?
Vieira – Too old, not fit enough, waste of resources
Chamakh – no better than Bendtner or Vela, cheating loud mouth diver with too much to say all of the time
Matuidi – Injury prone, had one good year 2 seasons ago.
These are the players we are relying on and could be relying on! Does anyone think that this squad can produce the goods under a stubborn Wenger? I really do not!
Did anyone see ANR and that we have to spend 75% of whatever we sell players for on new players. If thats true get the checkbook out. If not then just maybe those tight fisted gits Fiszman and Kroenke should sell out to the fat Russian, at least he wants us to challenge for the title.
Chipo, that is the point, from past experience that could very well be the case. I never thought he wouldn’t buy a DM last season, but guess what…
think wenger will sign someone. wont be the £30 mil super class player we need and will prob be near the end of the month. and probably quite underwhelming
Morning all. It’s not the selling I mind, it was time for them to go, it’s more the fact that I know we are going to get in Matuidi and Chamakh, two players who are a major step down. I kind of feel like I am in a bad nightmare, everyone is telling me this is the new reality, but I somehow can’t believe it, weren’t we The Arsenal who went undefeated just a few short years ago? Now we are this? We had Henry and Bergkamp, Paddy and Pires. Now it’s Song and Denilson.!!! And the funny thing is it’s only going to get worse. I’m pretty sure this board isn’t going to be the same within a years time. Arsenal is too big-a-club to accept this reality…
Chipo… what makes you think they are mind games? He’s playing it true to form again… he wanted all his players in early doors this summer… he’s talking about players not being the solution, over crowding in the squad… belief in what he has.
Kabira – We don’t give in but carry on hoping (and dreaming it seems!).
I still think Wenger will buy but the later he leaves it the riskier it becomes. Hangeland has not played for Fulham in europe so we might as well rule him out now. All we really need desperately is a DM for now.
Morning all,
I’m going to try and ignore all speculation till the first game of the season and when we see our first 11, no point anymore, it just gets me stressed out…
Stressing can start when we have not signed anyone and Song starts with Denilson in the centre of the park!!
Please don’t take the lord’s name in vain
ARSENE KNOWS SHIT!! He’s becoming Deluded!!
its gone so quiet for Arsenal on the transfer front that papers are printing De Rossi stories based on blog hoaxes 2 days ago.
they would have disappeared in mid season to the ACN, got injured , malaria, and miss the rest of the season and finally be unsaleable, you watch!!
top bit of business.
he’ll get someone out of nowhere.
good post tho’
Chipo… I didn’t say Wenger said he had no money… Wolfgang did.
Yea i was getting tired of winning trophys 10 years ago. Its nice to have a change dont you think?
Wolfgang, I dont buy the argument that we cannot compete in the market. We pay good salaries, we have money, and many players do come out and say that they would like to play for our club/manager.
The reason we dont buy players is that the manager wants to do an Ajax and win everything with kids he has groomed IMO.
DDM you on you dirty dog???
you heard anything about matuidi?
Morning al,l Chipo I wasn’t negative, I can’t win if I support the boss. I can’t win if I don’t, is there no pleasing you?
He said the trouble in England is they think buying players is the solution, as for your if he doesn’t buy comment, we’ve had that for the last 4 seasons, and he doesn’t buy.
Yes we signed Sagna and Arshavin, but look at who we’ve got rid of.
Ok well you all have fun moaning about us not signing anyone while I sit back, relax and wait for 2 players to come in before the transfer window closes.
If Wenger doesn’t sign anyone i will drink a pint of cream, throw it up and post it on Youtube for you all to see.
I guarantee none of you will ever see this video. We are signing players!!!!
fuck this, the season hasn’t even started yet and i’m already depressed, hard times ahead unless wenger signs some players.
Ive put an advert on a Citeh website to sell my invincibles underpants for 800 quid.
top post, geoff.
morning all
at least you lads are starting to smell the gravy.
for a while i thought you were going to start full body waxing , give up swearing and call the blog ACLF 2 ..
sure chipo,
we are close , top 4 each season is CLOSE ..
but without replacing the experience from …
well 3 seasons ago now ..
bergs retirement , th14 – hleb-flamster -bert -diarra now toure, ade the slug, eboue and all the rest who came thru the turn styles we are still very much left wanting….
this team will never get to go 2 or 3 seasons without changing personnel because when our players want to leave AFC just have to let them
go for the greed of cold hard cash.
they all know we wont win trophies .
(our players)
i would agree we have a small chance if the team stayed together .. but now for another season we have to reinvent the way we play !
no more long balls to retarded tall timbers who
more often than not find themselves off side
or hopefully a return of the slick passing game that has vanished since ade became our main striker ..
but regardless , we are left to rebuild
YET AGAIN ! and other teams not only have better players IMO , they have had several seasons to gel .. so if anyone thinks we will win this season they watch way to much fantasy TV
denilson AND song would have been sufficient at OT in the CLSF with fab to set off attacks.
I don’t have a problem with those 2.
We just withdraw one of them as the game is won or saved and switch attackers if needed. simple game
Geoff, if I was a Yank then I might have been able to ignore the heavy scent of sarcasm throughout the post!
I had a chuckle though
Very Good post…
lets all get behind the team!
Wenger was quoted as saying “this team is good enough”…good enough for what exactly?
Making huge sums of profit in the near future?
look forward to seeing it chipo. assume the players have to be legally old enough to buy a pint to count?
We should take things managers say with a big pinch of salt. Didn’t Ferguson say the other week that United had finished their transfer business for the summer. Two days later they had bought another (untried/inexperienced) player.
Wenger hasn’t said that he will not buy players. He said that buying players is not necessarily the answer. Don’t get me wrong, if we get to the end of August without at least one or two new signings, I will not be happy, but I am sure that he has things in the pipeline.
Arsenal have always done their transfer deals in secret, even when Dein was at the helm. That Wenger doesn’t come out and say “we are afer so and so, and such and such” doesn’t mean we are not looking.
By the way, yes our lack of trophies does coincide with Dein’s departure. But so does our move to a shiny new (expensive) stadium. If Dein was still pulling the strings we would be playing at the white elephant that is Wembley and saddled with 1bn of debt.
Geoff,
Thats about it !!
Anyway, lets really judge in 2 weeks. Thats when we need players, not after the bloody season starts.
If this season proves to be a damp squib without the required new players, then there is no where for WEnger or Fiszman to hide.
@ VanDaManPersie, yes signings are needed but what he is saying is that say buy a player to improve a part of your team but that players get injured for whole season before a ball is even kicked, you are back @ square one thus even if you have weakness in our team, coaching players to improve is also part of problem solving Not just signings
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/scottishpremier/rangers/5941935/Rangers-manager-Walter-Smith-reveals-admiration-for-Arsene-Wenger-approach.html
Of course swinner. Two Aaron Ramseys and i’ll down that pint!
Lehmann – Replaced in effect by Fabianksi, big step down.
Gilberto – Not replaced.
Flamini – Not replaced.
Diarra – Not replaced.
Hleb – Replaced by Nasri, good move.
Adebayor – So far not replaced.
Toure – Replaced by Vermaelen. I’m not so sure.
Well done Wenger, you let a DM leave that could have at least helped our pathetic Denilsong out in Gilberto and let the other 2 DM’s who would solve all our problems leave as well, one of them, for free! Great management!
Last month he said if he had a £100 million to spend of course he would, did we think he was stupid, he said that.
This month he’s suggesting he won’t spend anymore, and he has £50 million, so who’s stupid now?
He should have sold those two in May, why wait till now? Also he can buy who he wants, everyone else has stopped.
Finally he said he was selling no-one, yet we all knew those two were going at Christmas.
for a while i thought you were going to start full body waxing , give up swearing and call the blog ACLF 2 ..
haha, gold
By the way Owen looked completely lost against a half decent defence last night (Bayern)…
SO many utd fans getting carried away with the fact he scored 2 goals against a Malaysian XI lol
@ Chipo, dont mind Geoff, he is always negative
I have been reading your posts for sometime now but never really had the time to sit there and post comments, but it has now reached the point where I need to have a rant!
We are being taken for mugs once again. I love Arsene and what he has done for the club but come on how anyone can be so stubborn and blind sighted to think that we don’t need players. For the past 4 years we have been 2/3 players away from dominating the World but he has continued with his bullshit policy. Ok to start with you think he is owed the chance to prove his philosophy but come on it hasn’t worked. When is it going to end, is he waiting for all the loyal Arsenal fans that love him to turn on him? That is what will happen this year and that will be the biggest travesty in football.
I just hope that he is lying to us once again, like when he did at the beginning of the summer that no one would be sold and goes and brings in a couple of World class players. It is there for everyone to see what a difference it made to the whole club when he brought Arshavin in!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic
Anyone else think Wenger is already preparing to leave for Madrid next year? I think he is and I think this is a last through of the dice to re-capture the amazement of the footballing world and all this whilst knowing it doesn’t matter if it fails or not. he could lead us to 6 th place and Madrid would still pay him millions to join them!
Chipo, that link made no sense?
taig, that is true in terms of the replacements but you have to add in arshavin somewhere in that, and sagna. can’t only look at the negatives, as many as there are though
great post….really the best one i’ve read in a while…
we love you arsene…
he did say give him two years, by then his contact would of ended and we would of won the champions league!
I believe all this, ‘Lets give him till the Aug 31st’ is what got us through last summer… then it didn’t happen.
You can only go on history… and history tells us we’re in for a disappointing summer.
@ tonyadamsisgod, Gilberto was awful is last season and couldnt cut the mustard anymore, Vermaelen is a replacement for Senderos while Toure replacement will depend on our he sees Song been used this season. If he sees Song as DM then he will a new CB and vice versa if he see him as CB.
Geoff….think he has been trying Ade for ages……Man Shitty were looking other players before Ade.
So, we’ve only really lost one player (who we liked)…Kolo Toure
I really dont see the problem…..who actually wanted Ade to stay at Arsenal then??? If you didn;t stop moaning.
Its frustrating times I admit. With comments such as “I will not panic buy” making you think No! dont panic buy but Just fcuking buy!! Does fergie panic when he is buying…..No !!!
But, I am sure Wenger will splash the cash…….if not, then I will start to agree with bloggers suchas Jimbo !!
Lets face it, none of us know anything atm !! Arsenal may be advanced in negotiations on 2/3 new players……
wishful thinking@wardo
Get Dein back.
What is the point of Kronke buying up shares and not pumping money into the club ? give wenger more funds or F off. What is his purpose for the club.
Was with a shareholder last night who does shed some light at times (inside info) he tells me that we will buy, but wenger is waiting for the market to drop and may go till 31.8.09 to pounce, risky tho
Supergunner, Gilberto was awful in his last year because he isn’t an impact sub… he was one of our best players the season before and he won the Copa America in his last September for the club.
He was far from past it…
Vermaelen is not a replacement for Phil Senderos… he is a replacement for Kolo.
You don’t spend £11mill on a 4th choice defender.
“You can only go on history”
Pedro that’s like saying “you can only look at statistics” when you’re talking about Denilson.
There are a lot of other factors to think about apart from history.
And the moral panic link should be pretty obvious. Then again, the weather is good in the eye of a tornado
btw… De Rossi rumour…. Anything to get excited about???
Mornin grovers,
Pedro, this goes out to you cos you update the blog, DID U SKIP MATHS CLASSES? cos except kolo was sold for an undisclosed 4mill, there is no way 15mill(AFC summer budget) + 25mill (bayor) + 15mill(kolo) – 11mill(verminator) will = 29mill
What’s wrong with full body waxing?
Wardo, it doesn’t matter what the fans think… it’s what the players think… we’ve just bent over and sold two good players to our rivals without replacing them… and now he’s talking like he usually does when he is going to disappoint us.
waiting for that transfer deadline will be too late!
everton and man u away in august…we need players before then!
btw did Hangeland play yesterday??
Wardo the problem is we needed two players in May, he said he would buy and I renewed on that basis, since then he has bought someone that’s ok but short and sold 2 for £40 mil, he should now go and buy the players we lacked before he sold the two.
Add to that no Clichy, Rosicky and Nasri I would say we are much weaker.
He used the I’m potless shit for the last 3 seasons, now he has money so he should buy what we need and win something.
yes he did@ardentgooner
does that mean hes cup tied?
in patience we trust
…for the champions league
i still hope we get huntelaar and maltudi,
and if the market doesn’t drop… we got inflated prices for both ade and kolo so may as well pay some inflated prices now instead of hoping for some bargains on 31 august.
hangeland was mentioned in a report i read this morning so reckon he played
Didee…
-£11million + £40million = £29million
Not sure which school of math you went to or how you’d know the budget…
Really I could have made it larger because we gained £6million on the wage bill as well, which is also included.
he is cup- tied but apparently there are “exceptions”.
I’d wager they don’t include us though – they mean RM, barca, manutd and chavski
G’Day ATom you old Mungler!
On the train on the way to Newquay, so not in touch with my source, but upto yesterday evening I hadn’t heard anything about the fella!
@geoff
i think he said he will buy players in may just so that they could boost season ticket sales as well as the membership sales.
as soon as the deadline passed for the renewals that is when he started the anti-signing talk
do you think when the board take there wife’s or boyfriends out to go shopping they tend to go for the cheap shit or the really dear stuff?????
as for kroenke, he’s here for only one thing and that’s profit. the same as the other yanks (possibly except lerner). if it goes to individual bargaining on ttv rights then they’ll all make a killing.
@ Suppergunner07.
Wenger is a liar. He said his main aim was to keep the current squad together by not selling any1 and if he was to strenghten the team, he would get the players in early, so they can get Pre-season under their belt. He bought one player and hasn’t addressed the position we have all been crying for DM.
Wenger’s had the same plans for the last four seasons and what have we won? Every other top teams in the world buy or replace players when things aren’t working out or you are not winning Cups. Are they wrong for that? The current team is not good enough in my opinion.
Denilson (average)
Song (can improve by end of next season)
Diaby (good player, but frustrating at times).
Silvestre (should be shot).
Walcott (still cant beat his last man. To predictable)
Ramsey (still not ready for first team).
Eboue (average now).
These player wont make it in the Man utd, Liverpool or Chelsea team, so why are they good enough for us??!
With all these players i mentioned above, Wenger needs to bring in new players. New players is a must, whether he agrees or not. He saying that new signings is not the answer, that training Harder is. That is all Air to me.
If the players were not good enough last season, how are the any better after losing a couple of our players this summer.
Pedro….no wanted Ade any more FFS !! Wenger has been struggling to sell him and I honestly think someone like AC would have managed to get Ade for £15-18 mil……as for Toure, might be good business but, we’ll have to wait and see…..
AW will buy…..if he doesn’t then, I’ll be shocked!! Wenger is not a muppet, he knows he has to improve the team now……..oh, and both Kolo and Ade have only just been sold so, replacements may be on the way…..
Rob the goon……it is wishful thinking. I’m sure he’ll do it tho. If not, fans will turn on him/club and that will be a disaster
So the transfer window is closed then? Oh wait, no its not, Wenger still has 30 days yet still you choose to have a go at him.
Le Grove – a blog where you can get an opinion, not have one.
DDM… faaaaaaaacking useless mate!
Toure said that his move to man city had already been agreed 6 months ago, therefore vermaelen can only be seen as a direct replacement whereas we thought he was coming in to strenghten up our squad. Then wenger complained about having so many defenders that he had to play senderos in midfield. wenger likes to play mind games with everyone, he plays his cards close to his chest, you dont know what to believe anymore. At least most other football fans know where they stand with their clubs. we’re just kept in the dark
Can anyone help with this one???…..
Haangeland played for Fulham in their European qualifier last night therefore he would be ineligible for us in Europe therefore meaning we aint gonna sign him????
Wenger wont bid for anyone untill the last day and we will have our bid rejected like we had with alonso
Geoff – ” he has bought someone that’s ok but short”
What, were you expecting Vermaelen to have bagged 10 headed goals, broken 8 legs and knocked out 12 players and 2 referees?
Fuck me, talk about jumping the gun.
How about we give him at least 10 games in the Prem before we decide?!
I distinctly remember Vidic being shaky and nervous looking in his first season with United. Now look at him.
Morning all
Daniele de Rossi is Arsene Wenger’s number one target for Arsenal signing
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/5945924/Daniele-de-Rossi-is-Arsene-Wengers-number-one-target-for-Arsenal-signing.html
Here is one for the muppets boys
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41022983@N06/3774728560/
bloody hell, annoymous must be having a good ol’ laugh at all these stories about de rossi coming.
All ye doomsayers have no courage or guile of thought.
He doesnt score the goals of bleed sweat running x amount of miles but check the stats on Denilson one of the best midfielders in the prem will blossom in to a worlds best. Song is growing into a monster mf.
I bet Anonymous is happy now that his rumour has spread to The Independent!
vandaman…..what should wenger have said then…..”I want to sell Ade and Toure” ?? So Man shitty come in and get them for sweet fa ??
Dont be naive mate. You obviously say, I’m not selling so Man shitty make ridiculas bids for players we dont want…..Ade was not worth £25mil and Kolo not £15mil.
Would say current value of both players is Ade £18mil / Kolo £9mil.
That’s £13mil up…..good business mate.
Now all he has to do is shut the fcuk up bout panic buying bla bla bla and actually buy players. Then all sorted and we challenge for honours…..
Hangeland played yesterday an will not be able to play in europe again this year. (for another club). He will be avilable for cl after the group stages.
TAIG,
Our squad is easily big enough, infact its too big. It just isnt good enough.
Response please…
herbert fuck the stats and tend to judge with my eyes
choy… not gonna happen unfortunately mate
@wardo
i know im being negative. but we’ve been hurt for too long. and wengers action doesnt inpire confidence.
but i feel this football club is trying to condition us to make out we are a small club.
eduardo has come out and said making the top four will be difficult, vermalen has said he has got his eye on the carling cup FFS, where is the ambition!
Players who have played in the UEFA Cup can still play in the Champions League, but only one per team. Last year Real signed Huntelaar and Diarra from Ajax and Pompey, who had both played in the UEFA. They chose Diarra to be in their CL squad.
Roma want 30m for de rossi, its a non-starter. the most we will bid is 15m
Bordeux president told l’equipe today that Wenger rang him to confirm his interest in champakh
Choy the de rossi story is because for an hour on wed De Rossi was listed as an arsenal player on both the AFC site and on Wikipedia but only for an hour
Herbert, I reckon you have lost the power of your eyes if you think that about Denilson and Song… that is also confirmed by your comments wording which makes no sense at all… I’d get down specsavers… and maybe rent a copy of the invincible’s to see what a real monster looks like and what a great holding player does.
Rohan….oh right. So now the Telegraph and Independant are shit papers like the sun/mirror ???
Like they read le grove and then write the headlines……get real mate. Its the telegraph not the sun !
Wardo,
The idea that the price is reduced if you want to sell a player is ridiculous.
City; We want Ade and we know you want to sell
Wenger; Yes i do want to sell, price is £25m
City; Well we know you want to sell, how about £18m
Wenger; no £25m or fuck off.
Or…
City; We want Ade and we hear you dont want to sell
Wenger; Correct
City; What about £22m
Wenger; No needs to be £25m
City; Ok so you do want to sell.
Hangeland is very happy @ fulham and does not want to leave, from what i hear he likes to be in his comfort zone, and maybe nervous to play for a big club, it would take a big bid to sign him, but i doubt that he wants to leave anyway
Pedro,
we paid for vermaelen before selling bayor and kolo, i dont think we bought him on credit, so that should give credence the 15mill rumors…anyway i just feel if we wont have the pleasure of new signings lets have the pleasure of a fat piggy bank account :d
gambon – Sorry mate, I meant big enough in terms of quality hence the names I mentioned.
lets just hope the boredough presy was talking bollocks
in god we trust and god trusts arsene wenger….
LOLLLLL fuck me, what choice do we have?
lets be honest, do any of us really believe he WONT spend dollar and bring in some quality?
your basing it on the face he said afetr hannover ” were good enough, sqaud big enough etc etc” but he also said at the end of the season we will not sell anybody, we have to keep this group together”. he playing mind games, with whom im not sure but he will buy
My response to everyone today will be here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41022983@N06/3774728560/
15 days until we play Everton and what do I have to look forward too?
Fellaini v Denilson in the middle of the park! Awesome stuff! FFS…..
Nice one LAzer
Wenger just thinks he owes the fans no honesty as he doesnt think we matter.
Look at what Redknapp has said in the last few days, thats how a manager should communicate with fans.
Reporter; If you sign Huntelaar wont you leave some of your strikers unhappy
Redkapp; I dont care, they have to earn their place and earn the fans respect.
Would Wenger ever say that about Denilsong?? no way, he pampers them losers and thats why they put 50% in every week.
Didee, unless you can provide evidence that our budget was £15million… I’ll leave our starting balance at zero.
I know Rob….its not easy at the mo !!
IF wenger does not buy then I will be so fcuking p155ed off….but he will !!
@ pedro, AW doesnt see his players as 6th or 2nd choice, if perform well for him they stay in the team plus price of Vermaelen is irrelevant, supply & demand determines the price of a players not arsenal.
As for Gilberto, yes you never lose the football brain but he didnt have the legs to cover our over-exposed fullback & Cesc, hence what Flamini did do.
lol taig
LAzer – I like it…the fan is even clapping it! Good work!
Eduardo… exactly, mind games with who?
i am grover
Pedro I mentioned nothing about DM and What coaching badges do you hold to say you know more about a player than wenger does
TAIG,
Agreed, a squad should be 24-5 men with a clearly defined first XI, ours is a mish mash of squad players with 3-4 top players.
tonyadamsisgod Says:
July 31, 2009 at 08:15
Wenger could learn at least something from Redknapp:
But the former Portsmouth manager is unconcerned about upsetting other players in the squad, insisting it is up to them to fight for their place.
“I don’t care,” he added. “It’s not about keeping them happy, they have to keep me happy and the fans happy – that is what they are paid to do.
“It’s up to them as they have got to fight to play, it’s all about competition for places.”
gambon – and some youths thrown in for good measure!
Herbert, did you see de rossi on arse.com yourself or just what some other site said cos the whole thuing looks like someone was having fun with photoshop to me. arsenal NEVER slips with such info before the deal is done…bayor’s sale testifies to that
Supergunner… don’t be ridiculous. Of course he sees players as first/second choice.
Cast your mind back to the 98 cup final… Manninger was arguably the best keeper in the league that year, then he was dropped for the cup final.
lol
easy Pedro, LOl i know, its kinda embarrassing really because it akin to be argumentative with a group of bulies (carlo, rednose cunty, fat spaniard) BUT THEY ARNT EVEN PAYING US ANY ATTENTION!
in all seriousness, IF WE ADD, caould this work to our advantage?
Chipo I said he was short because it was clear we were shit at defending free kick because we needed a big tall monster, I didn’t say Vermaelen was no good.
Gooner if you want to defend your hero like a sheep, you would do well by listening to what he said in May.
Oh you didn’t? Let me remind you, he said he would have done his player dealing before pre season.
I just wished the arsenal board would read this.
Herbert, I do hold FA coaching badges and managed a team that I got promoted in my first season as manager.
Yes, I am just as qualified to do the job as Wenger. Some say more qualified…
thanku-a little pathetic photoshopping for the muppets. No more Akb-ish behavior please. Everyone, I mean everyone at this point will agree we need signings, from Arshavin and Eduardo to johnny bigfan anywhere in the world. If Mr. Wenger still wants to be a stubborn cunt and not sign anyone then i am afraid the writing is on the wall.
post of the year Geoff
hi guys
i hope so…
deep down i’m praying we sign someone.
if not, we should start calling for the board’s head.
i dont think its arsene. as they say the madness starts at the top!
saw it myself on Wiki
Gambon……its basic negotiating skills!! If someone thinks you dont want to sell then they up their price.
Also, football is a different type of business altogether. If Wenger comes out and says, I want to sell Ade. The press go nuts and print it all over the back pages…pleayer becomes upset and now doesn;t want to play for Arsenal….City know all of this and make stupid offers, dragging out the transfer til they get what they want…….
I’m not gonna argue this point further cause its so simple….if someone doesn’t understand this at a basic level then they need to go back to school.
@ pedro, Alex manniger played 7 freaking league games how can he be the best goalie in 97/98, yes he did well when he came in but christ he wasnt that good.
Good Morning
Daniele De Rossi has just been given the go ahead in his move, all tax accounts have been cleared, at this stage it is just down to the club to finalise a medical.My exclusive seems to have been leaked to the newspapers this morning i have noticed
No news on David Villa since Tuesday, not suprising as it was the same for De Rossi as i think he had a game to play yesterday, we are expecting more developments this afternoon. If i get an oppurtunity to come on here when i finish work i will do
Have a good day
Regards
Pedro, am not pushing a change, am just having fun bloggin
Herbert, you also see Denilson as one of the best midfielders in the Premiership and you think Song is turning into a monster… Can you trust your eyes… that’s what I need to know?
Is this what you see when you watch Song?
http://macmcrae.com/wp-content/_monster15.jpg
LAzer, i really dont think hes being stubborn (and for the record i want MVB and the iceman running things).
it takes time to get the deals done, who apart from Real and Mancscum have got REALLY involved?
FFS cesc has ONLY just come back to training
here is to a 6-0 mauling by Atl. Madrid tomorrow
8-0 loss might be better
wenger is really starting to piss me off
haha, you have fun Didee, I’m only messing around.
Rob the Goon @10:03
Bang on imo !!!!
Its the board that should be blamed and slagged off !!! Especially PHW……he reminds me of a bank board member. Has loads of money, complete wanker when in restaurants etc and is so detached from working class its unbelievable !! Problem is, football is supported by working class……the same peoepl this prick probably looks down on when driving through Arsenal/London.

Vote Pedro!
I reckon there should be a mass scale boycott at the first home game if we don’t sign anyone. OR someone just needs to grow a pair and take the muppet banner along.
@ Gambon. Thats must have been how it went down. Wenger did not once say he wanted to sell Adebayor or Toure. City enquired about those two because they are a desperate team and Wenger was in a position to charge what he wants
If Wenger states we are bout to sign players, then any club he goes to thinks “right arsenal have just sold such and such so we can up the price a bit” its the economist in him doing what will keep the price down when he does go for players
Dude… right now in our midfield… we only have CEsc going forward.. and he shouldnt be the one to go forward.
I really think we should go with a 4-2-3-1
We dont use the wings much ne way and our players are slick enough to pass the ball freely.
how is this for a lineup (taking into account current squad + injuries)
——————— Almunia ——————
-Sagna —– verm —– gallas —– clichy
—— Cesc ————— Song —————
—RVP/Theo ——– Eduardo/Arsh ———- Rosicky
—————— Bendtner ——————–
Looks very solid.. enuff attack and defence along with creativity!!!
Comments
anonymous… give it up son!!
My exclusive seems to have been leaked to the newspapers this morning i have noticed
best part
oh no…anon is back with the rumour mongering.
Franchise – I really hope we get clattered by Atl.Madrid and even more so by Rangers! Wenger needs to fucking wake up! Firstly we need at least 3 QUALITY signings. Secondly, these 3 quality signings should have happened at least 2 weeks ago.
Herbert, what is the difference between Arsenal making it public or keeping it secret?
Do the prices only go up when a story hits the papers?
Annon, if this is true… I will salute you and make Chipo drink a pint of cream.
is this annoymous dude for real?
herbert…wiki has a disclaimer on all articles as not being authoritative, they are mere contributions from readers like you and i…more like a blog for things considered facts
Rahul – Our defence looks shocking! No protection offered by Song and no CB that can head the ball. Plus Clichy is injured.
lazer, i think we need to do that after the transfer deadline
anon..this may earn me a yellow, even a red..but quit muppeting around man.
you know, annoymous does sound awfully convincing.. if it does come true, all of us here probably owe him an apology…
i’d rather not think about it though.
Right Rob, that’s why i said first home game, which would be after the window is shut.
very convincing indeed.
ive have news now.com on my screen just incase there are any developments
How can anyone ask Arsenal fans to be optimistic?
Regardless of when we wanted to sell Adebayor, we always wanted him to be replaced. We’ve also been asking for the squad to be strengthened with a CB and DM for a couple of years.
We are a weaker, younger squad than last season and we struggled to qualify for the CL spots then.
AW is a fantastic manager who has been trying the same experiment he tried at Monaco with young, dynamic players. It failed there too. The difference is the Monaco board sacked him for his failure while we continue to coddle him. I’m not asking for him to go, I’m just asking that he realises we need strengthening before the season starts otherwise it looks like being a long slog.
Myself, I remember being told that we’d be a great side in two years time four years ago. And again two years. And, of course just now. Manana, manana, manana…
Mediocrity and the promises of tomorrow are not good enough.
Are Pedro/Geoff winding us up with anonymous?
Or it could be Bud, I remember him saying similar things about David Vila last summer.
Harsh, but fair ATom, harsh, but fair
if it is true annoymous.. god bless you
WHO’S WITH ME WHEN I SAY, “I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY POKER WITH MR WENGER”!
THAT GUY WOULD TAKE ALL MY MONEY AND LEAVE ME HOMELESS WITH NO SYMPATHY.
*ago
how is that convincing Rohan? To me is just another wind up merchant. Why would someone come on here and spill the beans so carelessly. Right his son asked him to. Great story.
and this whole vieria thing…is there any truth in that?
I remember Wenger saying judge me in May, we did, and he didn’t like it, he then said judge me in two years.
Not good enough.
cool beans?
annoymous , is your intention to come on here and ‘annoy’ us?
Geoff – He doesn’t give a fuck. Him and Cesc are both off to Spain next year of that I am sure!
A&N – Think you hit the nail on the head with that question!
Herbert,
That argument is so flawed, because the second Gazidis gets on the phone they know Arsenal want the player.
Its not like Gazidis goes “erm i suppose we COULD bid for him, we arent too bothered though”
Everyone knows Wenger watches a player 40 odd times, so he pays the same regardless.
Look at the Arshavin thing, tries for 30 days to negotiate the price down and pays what he couldve paid on 1st January.
Pedro i’m only drinking a pint of cream if we DONT sign anyone!!!
Maybe you should drink one if we sign De Rossi! Or BBK lol
wenger has always made tongue in cheek comments in the past, last summer he said that arshavin was overrated and not good enough for them prem, sounds like mind to me.
Geoff thing is he will keep on saying “next year” and the fans will keep on saying “i’ll give him another year”
They were saying that after 06-07
@ Vandaman. I would love to play poker with Arsene and the board members.
Gunnergetyou,
he never said anything like that.
If we sign De Rossi I hope to God some people stop moaning!
Although that said we would still need a defender!
Ok I will amend this -
If we sign De Rossi and a defender I hope to God some people stop moaning!
his name says it all,complete bollocks geoff please,kick this chap off so i/we don’t have to listen to this bag of wind,PEOPLE WAKE UP HE’S W.U.MING UP THE PLACE…..
let me mess wt u…Pedro is a plastic fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
lazer, it very well might be a wind-up but there is something about his story..it probably is just me being anxious for any news but the de rossi rumours have slowly been getting more and more and since the newspapers dont get their info from le-grove ( i hope ), there probably is some truth in it.
just my opinion.. it is a bit too corroborated for it to be an unsubstantiative story.
Chipo,
We would still need a GK and a right winger, cos Walcott isnt good enough
Chipo we have a pint ready to go…in fact I will let it ripen outdoors for you for the next two weeks of agony everyone is about to enjoy.
De Rossi is not tall enough
Anon is lying…….I would love his comments to be true but its a load of bull !!
Reason I know is that I get to go to all home games of my choice and generally sit with the players family cause my tickets are actually owned by someone senior at the club…….you all know who he is and you have mentioned his name on this blog a good few times. I will not say his name cause he might never get me a ticket again.
But, I have tried to get info bout new signings and get absolutely no info whatsoever !! Especially over the last year !!
I did however, get told that Henry was leaving bout 2/3 weeks before it was in the press cause “he is not running when training just jogging”
Welcome to guess who said that to me but, I will not admit it.
Gospel – see no reason to lie.
if ti was true why did he play for roma last night.
http://www.asroma.it/NewsDoc.aspx?Categoria=ITArchivioNews&Documento=10549
Didee i know de rossi isnt coming to us i just read it on wiki
Chipo – If we sign De Rossi and a lanky CB, I will give Wenger my total support like I have always said I would.
Sad times people, Sir Bobby Robson has died!!!!
and if de rossi does come true.. we know who the next one is…
oh one can dream
apols….my point above is that, if this anon fella does have a senior job at Arsenal and is in the know, he would not say anything at all……trust me, they dont say a thing…..
i’m not saying that he will sign on sunday, but it is possible that wenger is interested in him but given the 30 million price tag, i just can’t fully believe it.
we were linked with him in january so there must be some interest in him.
anonymous just fuck of aren’t you fucking bored or maybe this time your grandson urge you to write this.
I would take those fat cats money in poker game all day long. Im a top boy poker player and the Prof has nothing on me.
Sad part is Rohan, I think the papers actually do go hunting the blogs for stories and this may be one of them. Besides we were linked with the player in the past as well so that does not necessarily mean anything. Plus the hoax was well documented all over newnow and carried by several blogs so all in all just some more lazy journalism from the hacks imo.
WE ARE NOT SIGNING DE ROSSI THE PAPERS GOT IT FROM BLOGS
lazer he nevevr said he works for arsenal
lazer he never said he works for arsenal
Fuck me people did no one see what I wrote?
Sir Bobby Robson has died!!!!
lol herbert you said he’ll come just a while ago…what happened?
damn TAIG…..RIP Sir Bobby ! You were a legend….
Anyways – better do some work. Be back in hour or so….
The optimist sees opportunity in every danger; the pessimist sees danger in every opportunity.
doesnt he have a job at the FA regarding tax accounts or something like that…
ermm..Choy I never said he works for Arsenal either. I believe that was Wardo implying that.
Where you getting that mate?
@ Wardo. Your name should be god.
It’s not the player jobs to buy players. Wenger does not confide in the players to ask their opinions on what players to sign, so the players would be left guessing who’s coming in, just like we do.
The players might on the other hand know who is going out, as they are friends in and out of the dressing room
oh fack sorry lazer!!!
mistaken identities
Jon Kabira READ WHAT I POSTED i said he was listed as an arsenal player on wiki for an hour not that we were signing him
where is that taig?? I haven’t seen that yet!!
You lot need to get your priorities straight!
i do believe that we shouldnt slag him off just yet… say that you don’t believe him but don’t call him a cunt and insult him and tell him to feck off just yet.
Oh man.
RIP.
LAzer – Just on SSN TV. No sites seem to have caught up yet. Think it literally ‘just’ happened!
http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/Bobby-Robson-dies.5512705.jp
Thing is if he signs someone, all the AKB’s will start crowing, he should have signed three players in June, putting us all through this shit is pathetic and unprofessional.
The price will be the same regardless.
Then if he does sign someone, it comes over like he’s done us a favour, how can they keep charging us what they do when they don’t spend money on bettering the team.
That’s fucking greedy and immoral.
no worries my man choy…
Yeah it was me implying that….maybe I got it wrong. but his first post said he felt he had to say something cause of the shit wenger was getting on this site…
I do not think we should insult this fella tho….just take with pinch of salt! Why would he choose le grove to let the cat out the bag…..you have to give your email and can be traced…..
any defo off now
I did Tones. Fuck
RIP Bobby.
TAIG – Where did you hear that??
VanDaManPersie, we don’t talk to each other like that on Le Grove.
Respect the rules.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8177945.stm
vandaman…..and your name should be thrush cause you’re an irritating cunt !!
I didn’t say it was a player…its not a player.
My point was even tho he is around AW and PR and prob knows a thing or too – i get told nothing as he is not supid enough to trust me. Go and fuck yourself you tosser
well I didn’t mean to insult..just said i felt he’s a wind up merchant. Hey if its true, trust me i will eat my humble pie, but absolutely nothing leads to believe it right now so for me that’s a wind up. And of course the fellow is entitled to come on here just as much as the next guy regardless of what I think or say.
RIP Sir Bobby
Geoff: Immoral? Thats a little heavy don’t you think?
tony…where did you see that?
ok – i’ll take the cnut bit and the other things as PEdro has policed the situation…..
bloody hell…sad day indeed. RIP.
I have to say this anonymous character is persistent and you would have thought after the hammering he has got on this website that he would not come back on and update the De Rossi situation.
He’s starting to sound convincing but is that just me desperately wanting Wenger to get someone in of De Rossi’s class?
VanDaManPersie, you have been moderated by me and given a yellow card, I’m not as nice as Pedro.
Keith – That’s exactly what the spud loving twat wants you to think!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article6734323.ece
Great article
Guy’s its on Sky Sports News on the TV. Not sure if they have got it onto their site yet. I think it has happened just a few moments ago.
I do feel that something is gonna happen in the next week or so, things seem to be moving along, more stories coming out about us buying even tho AW likes to put a downer on it all
keith u might be right but when u r on a wind up u dont really care what ppl’s response to u is.
if arsene is signing a cup tied de rossi then he must be stupid not to have signed him b4 he got cup tied
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Just seen the Bobby Robson news confirmed on the BBC website.
RIP Bobby you were a gent.
Cheers Geoff. the chat guy is bull chatter
Have fun up in the big beyond Sir Bobby!
hey grovers, looks like someone doesnt want to be hoodwinked by arsene the prof, they are complaining about eboue’s fee
http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_5463659,00.html
No Duckster, if you paid a gardener to mow your lawn and do your borders and he came to you at the year end and asked for a rise and you agreed.
Then the following year he stopped mowing your lawn and didn’t tell you, I would call that immoral.
That’s what Arsenal do.
ohh shnickeys!! Vandaman you’re picking a bone with the wrong fella. Geoffry is on to you, trust me I know the feeling…its a cold dark place you don’t want to visit again. Rules is rules i say now.
‘responses to u are’ i meant
Bobby Roson will still be more active in the transfer market than Wenger.
RIP BOBBY.. you will be missed
Keith, we had some guy on last year promising Paddy was returning every day through August…
Arsene Wenger is still watching videos of his targets
he is undecided yet on anyone
ppl would come in but they would be relative unknowns
Apparently, Paddy is returning?
RIP Bobby.
de rossi is never goimg to happen
if arsenal had some formal agreement then why did roma play him last night?
At least the pitch looks good
How could anyone refer to a Cascarino article as great? Just wondering
Good for Fiorentina! I wouldn’t pay £9m for a back up right back either!
Geoff: Not to get personal or anything but as you/Pedro have said,
” If you don’t like what we write piss off and log onto another site”
if fiorentina can’t afford 9 mill for a solid utility man and a good attacking rb with loads of experiance now then they can suck me off. Looking for a bargain from the king of bargain hunters is stupid.
In fact how could anyone refer to a Cascarino article?
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/picture-special-looking-better-than-ever
Is that the guy from ‘VisionOn’?
Duckster, but everyone likes what we write.
oh well at least the pitch is looking better than ever. not sure if picture 5 of 8 is my favourite…
Man: Totally agree with you. The words great & Cascarino should never accompany one another. Never.
His opinion is as valid as mine.
Pedro do u seriously hold a coaching degree cos if thats true then i might just not argue with you again…wait a minutes that would make me what…PKB…naaaaa…pedro know nothing…in arsene we…(shhhh..t..r..u..s..t)
what’s wrong with that duckster?? Seems like a fair and well balanced evaluation to me.
cup tied players fetch less than if not (cuptied)
People who want by the yard, but try by the inch, should be kicked by the foot !
De Rossi has said on numerous occasions he is a one club man! He doesn’t want to leave, He’ll never want to leave! Some how Roma manage to keep hold of their players even when they do not win things! And I don’t think its money! Totti could have left on numerous occasions but hasn’t and you can add Aquilani and Vucinic to the list of those who aren’t looking to move!
FORGET THE DE ROSSI STORIES PEOPLE!!
Didee, never argue with me. I’m always right…
Pedro: Not quite the international acclaim that Wengerball has achieved, but no doubt you two will get there!
didee-
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41022983@N06/3774728560/
I would befriend Joseph Fritzel if it meant I could play on that pitch! Its just a shame we have to play 18 games on shit pitches as well!
they fetch less but anonymous says a deal has already been agreed
so did we allow roma to use him in europa cup and thus make him ineligible for the CL to pay a few millions less for him?
Bollox i say
Duckster, one day we’ll get there
didnt someone on here say that every team is allowed to have one player registered to play in the champs league if they have played in the uefa/europa earlier in the season.
100% agree with the Cascarino haters.
I clicked on the article, didn’t look at who it was by, got about 1 paragraph in and thought to myself, “who is this stupid fucker writing this tosh” and hey ho it was Cascarino.
He’s probably the worst around. And he gets paid to write that shit. I despair.
Yup agreed Taig. But that’s italian players in general. It must be the hot bitches they are scoring and the corrupt bosses greasing all the palms. they are fecking kings with no pressure living it up with supermodels a dime a dozen and getting paid for it. Shit I would never leave either. Plus De Rossi is from Roma youth and Roma through and through. Btw same applies to Del Piero and Buffon to name a few, how many guys with there reputations would be relegated and still come back for more.
Fran…..what you just said and a previous comment summs it all up bout De Rossi….
I always try and support AW as you know but, if we were after De Rossi and let him play last night then, how could you justify that…..and if it was bout money then who are the yids ???
RIP Sir Bobby Robson !
De Rossi’s a pipe dream I say, get over it the, quicker the better. Our level is a Matudi if we’re lucky.
Or Franchise did Roma\ want him to play so that they qualify first and then he joins us and plays in the group stages.
Like statistics you can spin a story either which way around but I don’t believe Wenger will buy anyone of De Rossi’s price tag, it will be someone we haven’t heard of who I hope is as good as Sagna/Eduardo who we also didn’t know of.
De Rossi is ineligible to play for any other team in European competitions until January
i think but im not 100% sure
joseph fritzel…bloody hell he’d lock you in basement before kickoff that physco fuck.
18.18 One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may
exceptionally be registered provided that the player has not been fielded:
in the same competition for another club,
for another club that is currently in the same competition.
Furthermore, if the player’s new club is playing in the UEFA Europa League, his former club must not have played in the UEFA Europa League at any point in the current season.
So De Rossi could play at the Group Stages. BUT HE STILL AINT COMING!!
Morning all,
Geoffers, I like the way the post operates on 2 levels – an AKB will read that as a ringing endorsement of our (so called) transfer “strategy whereas the realists will see the flip side of what is being apparently said.
However to conclude – I’ll wait for another 23 weeks before I start to panic, but I have to say now – please no Numbnuts/numchucks/Chamkakh ! On top of all the other reasons not to to sing him we’d lose him for 6 weeks during ACN.
It has to be the Hunter.
Chary – 23 weeks might be a little excessive!?
i seriously dought wengermaid such statement inhis last interview on arsenal t.v hesaid he would review the squad after the emirates cup,and wenger comming out saying he gets board of buying top quality players i cant see wenger ever comming out with such statements
Morocco in the acn? never bothered to check. That’s how much numbnuts excites me.
Keith for Pete sake they were playing KAA Gent a Belgian side that didnt win their league
would arsenal be happy to sign a cup tied player when as at Monday we had £40m in the bank (at least)?
money couldnt have been the issue if a deal has already been agreed
Oops TAiG – I meant 3 weeks !
Trying to squash a rumour is like trying to unring a bell.
i just cant stay away from le grove….
Leon…its comments like that from Wenger tha p155 people off here.
Why review after the emirates cup??? cant we have a review after last season?? We’ve sold two and bought only one…….anyone got Stephen Hawkins number?? Need help working out if we’re a player down on last season……..I have no idea whatsoever but, hope to god that he signs 2 players at least (and this doesn’t include the great PV).
LAzer…classic, that the friday humor i have been lookin for
Franchise I was only putting over another view on the matter although as Tonyadamsisgood says he could still play in the CL.
But lets just say that there is no way on this planet will Wenger buy De Rossi it doesn’t compute on any level with Wenger’s policy to date, but is a nice thought all the same.
Ha ha, Fuck off Watson….1st ball of the day!!
That post was so funny. Nice One!
Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud has taken a phone call from Arsene Wenger in regards to Marouane Chamakh.
“Wenger has called me,” he told L’Equipe.
“He told me he has a list of forwards and Marouane is one of the names on it.
“However, I expect this could be a complex case which could become a soap opera.”
hahahhahahaha – Fucking 2nd ball! FUCK OFF YOU AUSSIES!!!!!!
HAAAAAT TRIIIIIICK????????
Just heard that Rosicky has swine flu and is out for a few months………
LOL LOL LOL LOL only joking………
he’s just like a new signing….. more like darren anderton on a zimmer frame
lol Bordeaux chief says “However, I expect this could be a complex case which could become a soap opera.”
he must know that is the normal way Arsenal deal with transfers in!
Would Wenger spend £20m on ANY player let a lone nearer £30m on a 26 year old?
LAzer – I don’t think that Morocco will Qualify! 2 points in their group with Togo on 4 and Gabon on 6!
TAIG u wrong
article 18.17 from uefa CL regulations for 2009/10

check page 26
Subsequent registration
18.17 For all matches from the start of the round of 16, a club may register a
maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the
current competition. Such registration must be completed by
1 February 2010 at the latest. This deadline cannot be extended.
18.18 One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club
competition matches for another competing club in the current season may
exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded:
in the same competition for another club; or
for another club that is currently in the same competition.
Furthermore, if the player’s new club is playing in the UEFA Europa League,
his former club must not have played in the UEFA Europa League at any
point in the current season
De Rossi can join in from the round of 16 only for us if we sign him that would mean ineligible until the February 2010
I’m normally an optimist but we’ve got more chance of catching syphilis from the queen than buying a player for 30 million
Ahh ok, is that from the CL rules coz I got mine from the Europa rules??
onions
i guess he won’t be up for the chop then.
Maybe we’ll snag Chantome and Sakho when PSG are in town.
tumbleweed
Like I said, its all academic anyway!
they love to talk in Bordeaux eh. First the player won’t shutup, now the pres is at it. He must have been bloody excited Wenger called him.
the deadline for submitting list A for teams in the CL playoff is 10 August 2009 (24.00 CET)
so we must ahve completed our signings by then
we shouldnt take this lightly this year cos we would be facing better teams unlike in the previous years
Taig Europa is similar but for next season’s it would be from the round of 32 rather than the round of 16 as in the Champions league
My friend is shagging twins
I asked him how he tells the difference
one of them’s got a tache
Fran – Can we draw the other teams that enter the play offs with us…Lyon Stuttgart, Fiorentina, ATL.Madrid????
btw-Argentina might not qualify for the WC 2010…the next game is key for them. I suppose thats what happens when you turn over the keys to an ex-coked up legend for brains.
if there is a list A, is the list B submitted only in Feb 2010.. that can’t be right. there will be another date sometime after the transfer deadline date before the group stages.
as expected…the iceman vs. Newcastle is no.1 for GGG.
A travelling salesman was passing through a small town in the West when he saw a little old man sitting in a rocking chair on the stoop of his house. The little old man looked so contented that the salesman couldn’t resist going over and talking to him. “You look as if you don’t have a care in the world,” the salesman told him. “What is your formula for a long and happy life?” “Well,” replied the little old man, “I smoke six packs of cigarettes a day, I drink a quart of bourbon every four hours and six cases of beer a week. I never wash and I go out every night.” “My goodness,” exclaimed the salesman, “that’s just great! How old are you?” “Twenty-five,”
i dont think so TAIG
it would be from the five teams that qualify from the thir round
nice one nick
The Captain called the Sergeant in. “Sarge, I just got a telegram. Private Jones’ mother died yesterday. Better go tell him and send him in to see me.”
So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up all the troops. “Listen up, men,” says the Sergeant. “Johnson, report to the mess hall for KP. Smith, report to Personnel to sign some papers. The rest of you men report to the Motor Pool for maintenance. Oh by the way, Jones, your mother died, report to the commander.”
Later that day the Captain called the Sergeant into his office. “Hey, Sarge, that was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother died. Couldn’t you be a bit more tactful, next time?”
“Yes, sir,” answered the Sarge. A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in again with, “Sarge, I just got a telegram. Private McGrath’s mother died. You’d better go tell him and send him in to see me. This time be more tactful.”
So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation. “Ok, men, fall in and listen up. Everybody with a mother, take two steps forward — NOT SO FAST, McGRATH!”
i still there will more players leaving senderos has already stated that he is not happy playing england and i dought wenger will allow him just see out his contract he will want sell him this summer as will silvest,things needed to change in defence.bottom line we still have 3 players who out of contrct next season,so there will be further changes and the only question is a top midfielder going be added

we would face one of these teams i believe unless its unseeded then we could also face from lyon, stuttgart, fiorentina or Atl. Madrid
Tasmanian cunt, how’s that Rohan?
Got a bollocking from HR today for using inappropriate language.
So one of the girls from sales walks into my office and says, “You smell nice, what have you got on?”
To which I replied, “I’ve got a hard on, but I didn’t know you could smell it”
if its not seeded then the draw wont be fun to watch 80
Rafa Benitez’s made a shock bid for Joey Barton. Apparently he reckons, with Stevie Gerrard, Liverpool could have the best pair of attacking midfielders in the country.
its unseeded this year for the first time
joey barton…. another reason to hate liverpool, then.
My Girlfriend thinks I’m too intrusive and don’t respect her privacy.
It’s in her diary.
by next wednesday the 10 teams i listed at 11:22 would be reduced to 5 and they would go into a pot with arsenal, lyon, stuttgart, atl. madrid, fiorentina probably unseeded
When you’re a fat kid you only get to be two things.
Funny, and a goalkeeper.
Rohan – that was a joke! Not a very good one apparently!
Fran – Not good!
Barton and Gerrard hate each other.
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.
In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, “I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket.”
The man leans out and with a glint in his eye said “I’ve got a better idea … let’s pretend we’re married.”
“Why not,” giggles the woman.
“Good,” he replies. “Get your own blanket.”
fiorentina would give us a good fight i reckon, so will atletico madrid..
we can take care of lyon, i’ll wager- without benzema they will be severely weakened.
stuttgart i’m not so sure about – i don’t know how badly mario gomez’s departure has affected them.
nigerian gunner, howdy…knew you would soon join the gist, but ur above quote just shows he is not done shopping. not dt i rate numchucks but having him will give us one of wengers favorite words … options
A guy is reading his paper when his wife walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head with a frying pan.
He asks, “What was that for?”
She says, “I found a piece of paper in your pocket with ‘Betty Sue’ written on it.”
He says, “Jeez, honey, remember last week when I went to the track? ‘Betty Sue’ was the name of the horse I went there to bet on.” She shrugs and walks away. Three days later he’s reading his paper when she walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head again with the frying pan.
He asks, “What was that for?”
She answers, “Your horse called.”
aah, ” attacking ” i get it now, cheers
i think its unseeded FCUK
With the F1 BMW team pulling out next season, Audi have stated an interest in starting a new team.
But they have already ruled out Felipe Massa as a driver, due to him not having the vorspring duck technique….

There were 3 friends stranded in an island. Exploring the island, the 3 men found a bottle so they opened it. A genie came out, and she said that she would grant them 3 wishes. The first man said, “I wish I was with my family” then poof he was with his family. The second guy said “I wish I was in a bar with my friends” then poof he was gone. The third guy was feeling bad and the genie asked, “What’s wrong?” The man said, I’m lonely I wish my friends were here. Poof, his two friends were back in the island.
Why does Rupert The Bear wear yellow and black tartan trousers??
Because he’s a cunt!
I had a phone call from GOD he wanted to give me a gift, it was a high sex drive or a good memory i cant remember which one though
I thought it was because it matched his scarf?
i think people to remember that tranfer windows does not clos until a months time there is still alot oftime dont get me wroung have been wengers biggest critics and i have been quickly running out of patients with and if no signings have comming by 25th i will be first to have him sacked,however at this tim its way to early to make judgements,we will see he has the money and its plain to see the team may quite strong but the squad is not the stroungest bottom line he has no excuses
like the vorspring duck technique….
Q:What did one eye say to the other eye?
A:Between you and me something smells.
haha onions got another one.. he’s making the aussies cry.
They match his scarf!!! C’mon…
Rohan – That’s poor!

A newlywed couple moves into their new house. One day the husband comes home from work and his wife says, “Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?” The husband says, “What do I look like, Mr. Plumber?” A few days go by, and he comes home from work and his wife says, “Honey, the car won’t start. I think it needs a new battery. Could you change it for me?” He says: “What do I look like, Mr. Goodwrench?” Another few days go by, and it’s raining pretty hard. The wife finds a leak in the roof. She says, “Honey, there’s a leak on the roof! Can you please fix it?” He says, “What do I look like, Bob Vila?” The next day the husband comes home, and the roof is fixed. So is the plumbing. So is the car. He asks his wife what happened. “Oh, I had a handyman come in and fix them,” she says. “Great! How much is that going to cost me?” he snarls. Wife says: “Nothing. He said he’d do it for free if I either baked him a cake or slept with him.” “Uh, well, what kind of cake did you make?” asks the husband. “What do I look like,” she says, “Betty Crocker?”
i thik we should sell another 2 players at least and then buy a 17 old to replace them with ,did you not know that 17 is the new 30 year old in the experience catagory
Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake. “I’ll go into town for a doctor,” the other says. He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the town’s only doctor, who is delivering a baby. “I can’t leave,” the doctor says. ‘But here’s what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground.” The guy ruins back to his friend, who is in agony. ‘What did the doctor say?” the victim asks. “He says you’re gonna die.”
gambon – Such a simple yet highly effective joke!
Fran – To use the words of Jack Bauer….”God damn it Chloe!”
A guy meets a hooker in a bar. She says, “This is your lucky night. I’ve got a special game for you. I’ll do absolutely anything you want for $300, as long as you can say it in three words.” The guy replies, “Hey, why not?” He pull his wallet out of his pocket, and one at a time lays three hundred-dollar bills on the bar, and says, slowly: “Paint…my…house.”
gambon – I’ve already had to word Rohan about poor onion jokes! Don’t make me doe the same to you!
herbet – Hooker joke = quality!
TAIG has assumed the role of joke moderator in the absence of DDM!
I knew a guy who fell into an industrial grinding machine.
He’s fine now.
Put that in your joke pipe and smoke it chaps.
I found a piece of plasticine at the front door this morning. I don’t know what to make of it?
An old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nations capital. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
“Yes, Father?” asked the nurse.
“I would really like to see the Prime Minister and the Chancellor before I die” whispered the priest.
“I’ll see what I can do, Father” replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to Parliament and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling would be delighted to visit the priest. As they were driven to the hospital Gordon commented to Alistair “I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get us re-elected!”
Darling agreed that it was indeed a good thing. When they arrived at the priests ward, the priest took Gordons hand in his right hand and Alistairs hand in his left. There was silence, and a look of serenity on the old priests face.
Finally Gordon spoke. “Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you at the end?”
The old priest replied slowly, “I have always tried to pattern my life after out Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ”.
“Amen”, said Gordon.
“Amen”, said Alistair.
The old priest continued, “Jesus died between two lying thieves: I wanted to do the same!”
Dad at the mall
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him.
The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, ‘What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild In your life?’
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one.
And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.
‘Got drunk once and f * cked a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.’
Pedro – I know how you got that joke! Same way I got mine!
Joke moderator, you’re playing a dangerous game there my man!
TAIG… I’m a sickipedian… of that there is no doubt.
I got my GF’s sister on it as well… once your hooked… client dinners are a no go… too many tempting social faux pa’s! haha!
3 Old Guys ..
‘Sixty is the worst age to be,’ said the 60-year-old man. ‘You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing comes out.’
‘Ah, that’s nothin,’ said the 70-year-old. ‘When you’re seventy, you don’t have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin’ comes out!’
‘Actually,’ said the 80-year -old, ‘Eighty is the worst age of all.’
‘Do you have trouble peeing, too?’ asked the 60-year old.
‘No, I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all.’
‘So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?’
‘No, I have one every morning at 6:30.’
Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, ‘You pee every morning at 6:00 and crap every morning at 6:30. So what’s so bad about being 80?’
‘I don’t wake up until 7:00.’
Kelsey – That’ll be coffee all over my monitor then!
haha, nice one Kelsey.
A guy stuck his head into a barber shop and asked,
“How long before I can get a haircut?”
The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, “About 2 hours.” The guy left.
A few days later the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, “How
long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around at the
shop and said, “About 3 hours.” They guy left.
A week later the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, “How
long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around the shop and
said, “About an hour and a half.” The guy left.
The barber turned to a friend and said, “Hey, Bill do me a favor.
Follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he
has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn’t ever come back.”
A little while later, Bill returned to the shop, laughing hysterically.
The barber asked, “So where does that guy go when he leaves?”
Bill looked up, tears in his eyes and said………..
“Your house
Pedro – Ha ha, true that! Here’s one from their vault of comedy gold, just hope it doesn’t offend anyone:
A tourist walked into a Brighton curio/antique shop. After looking around
for a while, he noticed a very life-like bronze Statue of a rat. It had
no price tag, but it was so striking that he decided to buy it anyway.
He took it to the owner and said: ‘How much is this bronze rat?’
The owner replied: ‘It’s £12 for the rat, and £100 for the story.’
The tourist gave the owner his £12 and said: ‘I’ll just take the rat, You can keep the story.’
As he walked off down the street, he noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the sewers and begun following him. This was a little disconcerting, so he started to walk a little faster, but within a couple of blocks the swarm of rats had grown to hundreds, and they were all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way. He increased his speed & ran on towards the beach, and as he ran, he looked behind him and saw the rats now numbered in their MILLIONS, and they were running faster & faster. By now very concerned, he ran down to the pier and threw the
bronze Rat far out into the water. Amazingly, the millions of real rats jumped into the water after it and were all drowned.
The man walked back to relate all this to the shop owner, who said: ‘Ah,you’ve come back for the story then?’
‘No,’ said the tourist, ‘I came back to see if you’ve got a bronze Muslim Fundamentalist Cleric, a couple of illegal immigrants, a Poof, a Liverpool supporter, and anything French’.
I’m watching you Pedro

Quasimodo is sat in his study and once again is feeling depressed about how ugly he is. Looking for some reassurance, he goes in search of Esmerelda. When he finds her he asks her once again if he really is the ugliest man alive.
Esmerelda sighs and says “Look, why don’t you go upstairs and ask the magic mirror who is the ugliest man alive? The mirror will answer your question once and for all”
About five minutes later a very pleased looking Quasimodo bounced back back the stairs and gave Esmerelda a great big hug.
“Well it worked” Quasmido beamed, “But who on earth is franchise
?”
Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way.Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good!
Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! …. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
———————————————————————-
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had aboutfood and diets.
And remember:
“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO, What a Ride”
AND……
For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans..
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Pedro – aahhhh ha ha ha ha!
Prince Charles decided to take up jogging.
Every day, he’d jog past a hooker standing on the same street corner.
He learned to brace himself as he approached her for what was almost certain to follow.
‘One hundred and fifty pounds!’ she’d shout from the curb.
‘No! Five pounds!’ He would fire back, just to shut her up.
This ritual between him and the hooker became a daily occurrence.
He’d run by and she’d yell, ‘One hundred and Fifty pounds!’
He’d yell back, ‘Five pounds!’
One day, Camilla decided that she wanted to accompany her ‘husband’ on his jog.
As the jogging couple neared the working woman’s street corner,
Prince Charles realized she’d bark her £150 offer and Camilla would wonder what he’d really been doing on all his past outings.
He figured he’d better have a good explanation for his Wife.
As they jogged into the turn that would take them past the corner, he became even more apprehensive than usual.
Sure enough, there was the hooker. He tried to avoid the prostitute’s eyes as she watched the pair jogged past.
Then, from her corner, the hooker yelled:
‘See what you get for five pounds
Hey Guys i just wrote a piece and it has not gone through?

Murphy calls to see his mate Paddy who has a broken leg.
Paddy says, ‘Me feet are freezing mate, could you nip upstairs and get meslippers?’
‘No bother,’ he says, and he runs upstairs and there are Paddy’s two stunning 19 year old twin daughters sitting on their beds.
‘Hello dere girls, your Da’ sent me up here to shag ya both.’
‘Fook off you liar!’
‘I’ll prove it,’ Murphy says. So he shouts down the stairs, ‘Both of dem,Paddy?’
‘Of course, what’s the use of fookin’ one?’
Five Surgeons
The first, a Manchester surgeon, says: ‘I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.’
The second, a Liverpool surgeon, responds: ‘Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is colour coded.’
The third, a Newcastle surgeon, says: ‘No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.’
The fourth, a Birmingham surgeon, chimes in: ‘You know, I like construction workers…those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over.
But the fifth, a London surgeon, shuts them all up when he observed: You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the arse are interchangeable.

At last Gordon Brown decided to throw the towel in and resign.
His cabinet colleagues decided it would be a worthy gesture to name a
railway locomotive after him. So a senior ‘Sir Humphrey’ went from
Whitehall to the National Railway Museum at York, to investigate the
possibilities..
“They have a number of locomotives at the NRM without names,” a
specially-sought consultant told the top civil servant. “Mostly freight
locomotives though.”
“Oh dear, that’s not very fitting for a prime minister”, said Sir
Humphrey. “How about that big green one, over there?” he said, pointing
to 4472.
“That’s already got a name” said the consultant. It’s called ‘Flying
Scotsman.”
“Oh. Couldn’t it be renamed?” asked Sir Humphrey. “This is a national
museum after all, funded by the taxpayer.”
“I suppose it might be considered” said the consultant. “After all the
LNER renamed a number of their locomotives after directors of the
company, and even renamed one of them Dwight D Eisenhower.”
“That’s excellent”, said Sir Humphrey, “So that’s settled then…. let’s
look at renaming 4472. But how much will it cost? We can’t spend too
much, given the expenses scandal”
“Well,” said the consultant, “We could always just paint out the
‘F’…..”
Nick, you told me my jokes were amazing when we were at the S+B?!
WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:
Men Are Just Happier People– What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another petrol station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay.

A husband and wife were out playing golf. They tee off and one drive goes to the right and one drive goes to the left. The wife finds her ball in a patch of buttercups. She grabs a club and takes a mighty swing at the ball. She hits a beautiful second shot, but in the process she hacks the hell out of the buttercups.
Suddenly a woman appears out of nowhere. She blocks her path to her golf bag and looks at her and says, “I’m Mother Nature, and I don’t like the way you treated my buttercups. From now on, you won’t be able to stand the taste of butter. Each time you eat butter you will become physically ill to the point of total nausea.”
The mystery woman then disappears as quickly as she appeared. Shaken, the wife calls out to her husband “Hey, where’s your ball?”
“It’s over here in the pussy willows.”
The wife screams back, “DON’T HIT THE BALL!!!! DON’T HIT THE BALL!!!!”

A man is in a queue at Tesco and sees this busty blonde staring at him, he can’t believe she is staring at him, then she starts waving.
‘Excuse me do I know you?’ he asks.
‘Yes I think you are the father of one of my kids’ she says.
The man thinks back and remembers his one act of infidelity and says ‘Are you the bird I shagged on my stag night, whilst your mate whipped me and your other mate stuck a brush up my arse?’
‘No’ she replies ‘I’m your son’s English teacher!’
In the Garden of Eden,
As everyone knows,
Lives Adam and Eve,
Without any clothes.
In this garden,
Were two little leaves,
One covered Adam’s,
One covered Eve’s.
As the story goes on,
Never the less to say,
The wind came along,
And blew the leaves away.
At the sight,
Adam did stare,
There was Eve’s treasure,
All covered with hair.
And wonder came,
Under Eve’s eyes,
As Adam’s thing,
Started to rise.
They found a spot,
That suited them best,
A nice big tree,
Where they began to rest.
Her legs spread wider,
And wider apart,
While thrill after thrill,
Came into her heart.
The head of Adam’s thing,
Peeked into the hole,
And filled her with passion,
Beyond her control.
Backward and forward,
His thing did slide,
And Eve’s treasure,
Was all wet inside.
The joy was good,
She wouldn’t let loose,
Until Adam’s thing,
Was all out of juice.

During a Papal audience, a business man approached the Pope and made this offer: Change the last line of the Lord’s prayer from “give us this day our daily bread” to “give us this day our daily chicken.” and KFC will donate 10 million dollars to Catholic charities. The Pope declined.
2 weeks later the man approached the Pope again. This time with a 50 million dollar offer. Again the Pope declined.
A month later the man offers 100 million, this time the Pope accepts. At a meeting of the Cardinals, The Pope announces his decision in the good news/bad news format.
The good news is… that we have 100 million dollars for charities.
The bad news is that we lost the Wonder Bread account!

Four men were sitting around a conference room table being interviewed for a job.
The interviewer asked, ‘What is the fastest thing you know of?’
The first man replied, ‘A thought. It pops into your head, there’s no forewarning that it’s on the way; it’s just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of.
‘That’s very good,’ replied the interviewer. ‘And now you, sir,’ he asked the second man.
‘Hmmm, let me see… a blink!’ said the second man.
‘It comes and goes and you don’t know it ever happened. A blink is the fastest thing I know of.’
‘Excellent!’, said the interviewer.. ‘The blink of an eye.
That’s a very popular cliché for speed.’
He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.
‘Well, out on my dad’s property, you step out of the house and on the wall there is a light switch.
When you flip that switch, way across the paddock the light at the barn comes on in an instant.
Turning on a light is the fastest thing I can think of.’
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man.
‘It’s hard to beat the speed of light’, he said.
Turning to the fourth man, an Australian, he posed the same question.
‘After hearing the three previous answers, it’s obvious to me the fastest thing known is diarrhoea,’ said the Aussie.
‘What!’ said the interviewer, stunned by the response?
‘Oh, I can explain’, said the Aussie, ‘You see, the other day I wasn’t feeling so well and ran for the bathroom. But, before I could think, blink, or turn on the light, I shit my pants.’
He got the job…

Guest Stars inlc …………………………..
I want a floating duck house
I want to clear my moat
I need to mend my tennis court
That’s why I need your vote.
I have to build a portico
My swimming pool needs mending
My lovely plants need horse manure
And the Aga needs much tending
I`m sure the whole WORLD knows what our MP`s have been up to !!!
A chandelier is vital
Mock Tudor boards are great
My hanging baskets won awards
And I’ve earned a tax rebate.
I need a glitter toilet seat.
My piano so needs tuning
Maltesers help me stay awake
And my orchard must need pruning
I could have said the rules were wrong
And often thought I should,
But somehow it was easier
To profit all I could
The public really have to see
That the rules are there to test
And by defrauding taxpayers
We were just doing our best
The Speaker of the House has gone,
Our sacrificial beast,
But the public are still braying
For our corpses at the feast
What do the public want from us,
Those vote-wielding ingrates?
They really should be grateful
To be financing our estates.
The message is so very clear,
(we’re merely learning late)
That the British way of living well
Is to screw the bloody state.
This elderly couple is watching one of those television preachers on TV one night. The preacher faces the camera, and announces, “My friends, I’d like to share my healing powers with everyone watching this program. Place one hand on top of your TV & the other hand on the part of your body which ails you and I will heal you.”
The old woman has been having terrible stomach problems, so she places one hand on the television, and her other hand on her stomach. Meanwhile, her husband approaches the television, placing one hand on top of the TV and his other hand on his groin.
With a frown his wife says, “Ernest, he’s talking about healing the sick, not raising the dead.”
A horse and a chicken are playing in a meadow. The horse falls into a mud hole and is sinking. He calls to the chicken to go and get the farmer to help pull him out to safety. The chicken runs to the farm but the farmer can’t be found. So he drives the farmer’s Mercedes back to the mud hole and ties some rope around the bumper. He then throws the other end of the rope to his friend, the horse, and drives the car forward saving him from sinking! A few days later, the chicken and horse were playing in the meadow again and the chicken fell into the mud hole. The chicken yelled to the horse to go and get some help from the farmer. The horse said, “I think I can stand over the hole!” So he stretched over the width of the hole and said, “Grab for my ‘thingy’ and pull yourself up.” And the chicken did and pulled himself to safety.
The moral of the story:
If you are hung like a horse, you don’t need a Mercedes to pick up chicks.
A guy comes home from the bar drunk one night around 3 in the morning. His wife is sleeping and he is trying to sneak into bed. He’s laying in bed for a few minutes and cuts a fart. His wife wakes up and asks, “What in the world was that?”
He replies, “Touchdown, I am winning 7 nothing.”
She thinks to herself, “I’m gonna fix him.” Then she lets one loose.
He yells at her, “What was that?”
She replies “Touchdown, tie score.”
Now he thinks, “I’m gonna fix her.” He’s laying there for about 10 minutes trying to work one up. He tries so hard he shits in bed.
The wife asks, “Now what in the world was that?”
He replied, “Half time, switch sides.”
A woman goes to her boyfriend’s parents’ house for dinner. This is to be her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous. They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal. The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty little fart. It wasn’t loud, but everyone at the table heard the poot. Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend’s father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing at the women’s feet, and said in a rather stern voice, “Ginger!” The woman thought, “this is great!” and a big smile came across her face. A couple minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again. This time, she didn’t even hesitate. She let a much louder and longer fart rip. The father again looked at the dog and yelled, “dammit Ginger!” Once again the woman smiled and thought, “yes!” A few minutes later the woman had to let another one rip. This time she didn’t even think about it. She let rip with a fart that rivaled a train whistle blowing. Again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, “dammit Ginger, get away from her before she shits on you!”

One day while on patrol, a police officer pulled over a car for speeding. He went up to the car and asked the driver to roll down her window. The first thing he noticed, besides the nice red sports car, was how hot the driver was! Blue eyes, blonde, the works.
“I’ve pulled you over for speeding, Ma’am. Could I see your drivers license?”
“What’s a license???” replied the blonde, instantly giving away the fact that she was as dumb as a stump.
“It’s usually in your wallet,” replied the officer. After fumbling for a few minutes, the driver managed to find it. “Now may I see your registration?” asked the cop.
“Registration….. what’s that….?” asked the blonde.
“It’s usually in your glove compartment.” said the cop impatiently. After some more fumbling, she found the registration.
“I’ll be back in a minute.” said the cop and walked back to his car. The officer phoned into the dispatch to run a check on the woman’s license and registration. After a few moments, the dispatcher came back, “Ummm… is this woman driving a red sports car?”
“Yes.” replied the officer
“Is she a drop dead gorgeous blonde?” asked the dispatcher
“Uh… yes.” replied the cop.
“Here’s what you do.” said the dispatcher. “Give her the stuff back, and drop your pants.”
“What!!? I can’t do that. Its… inappropriate.” exclaimed the cop.
“Trust me. Just do it.” said the dispatcher.
So the cop goes back to the car, gives back the license and registration and drops his pants, just as the dispatcher said.
The blonde looks down and sighs….. “Ohh no… not another breathalyzer……”

There were these two priests who rode bikes to church every Sunday. Well one day one of the priests showed up to work without his bike. The other priest asked where his bike was so the first priest said, “I don’t know, but I think it got stolen!”
The other priest said, “Well what you do is read off the Ten Commandments, and when you get to “Thou shall not steal” someone will confess to the crime.”
The next time the two saw each other the priest had his bicycle back. “I see you got your bike back! Did you do what I said?” the one priest said.
The other said, “Well kind of, when I was reading the commandments and I got to Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery, I seemed to remember where I had left it.”
rabbit walks into a bar and orders pint of lager and a ham and cheese toasty. barman is amazed, but serves the rabbit who pays, eats, drinks and leaves. the next day, the rabbit returns. ‘Pint of lager and a ham and cheese toasty please.’ Again the barman is amazed, and again the rabbit finishes his meal and leaves.
The following day the rabbit returns and orders the same. ‘Terribly sorry but i have no ham, would you take a cheese and onion toasty instead?’ asks the barman.
‘Oh, I don’t know, never had one of those’ replies the rabbit.
‘Tell ya what, I’ll make ya one, if you dont like it, dont pay for it’ says the barman, not wanting to lose the rabbit’s custom.
The rabbit enjoys his toasty, thanks the barman and leaves.
The following day, word has gotten around, and a crowd had gathered to see the rabbit, but he doesn’t show. As he is cleaning up at the end of the night, the barman sees the ghost of the rabbit appear at the bar.
‘What are you doing here? What happened?’ he exclaims.
‘I died. you Killed me!’ answers the rabbit.
‘What do you mean?!’ cries the barman, horrified. ‘ How could I have killed you?’

“I am not sure how many times I need to talk directly about my commitment to Arsenal as I continue to say the same thing over and over again,” he said. “It appears that every time I have spoken to the Spanish media recently, my words have bounced back to England, leaving question marks about my future. So, for anyone who is unclear or may have misunderstood what my position is, let me make myself absolutely crystal clear – I am whole- heartedly committed to Arsenal and my future lies with this great club.”

“No clothes, no shelter,” arshavin points out, “they have only an apple to eat, and they’re being told this is paradise. They are Russian.”

God is tired, worn out. So he speaks to St. Peter, “You know, I need a vacation. Got any suggestions where I should go?”
St. Peter, thinking, nods his head, then says, “How about Jupiter? It’s nice and warm there this time of the year.”
God shakes His head before saying, “No. Too much gravity. You know how that hurts my back.”
“Hmmm,” St. Peter reflects. “Well, how about Mercury?”
“No way!” God mutters, “It’s way too hot for me there!”
“I’ve got it,” St. Peter says, his face lighting up. “How about going Down to Earth for your vacation?”
Chuckling, God remarks, “Are you kidding? Two thousand years ago I went there, had an affair with some nice Jewish girl, and they’re STILL talking about it!”

There’s this old priest who got sick of all the people in his parish who kept confessing to adultery. One Sunday, in the pulpit, he said, “if I hear one more person confess to adultery, I’ll quit!”
Well, everyone liked him, so they came up with a code word. Someone who had committed adultery would say they had “fallen”. This seemed to satisfy the old priest and things went well, until the priest died at a ripe old age.
About a week after the new priest arrived, he visited the Mayor of the town and seemed very concerned. The priest said, “you have to do something about the sidewalks in town. When people come into the confessional, they keep talking about having fallen.”
The Mayor started to laugh, realizing that no-one had told the new priest about the code word. Before the mayor could explain, the priest shook an accusing finger at the mayor and said, “I don’t know what you’re laughing about, Your wife fell three times this week.”

A lady approaches a priest and tells him, “Father, l have a problem. I have these two talking female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.”
“What do they say?” the priest inquired.
“They only know how to say, ‘Hi, we are prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?”
“That’s terrible!” the priest exclaimed, “but l have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and l will put them in with my two male parrots who l taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to worship.”
“Thank you!” the woman responded. So the next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the priest’s house. The priest’s two parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage.
The lady puts her female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say, “Hi, we are prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?”
One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, “Put the bibles away. Our prayers have been answered!”
A married man goes to confessional and says to the priest, “Father, I had an affair with a woman… almost.”
“What do you mean almost?” question the priest.
“Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped.”
“Rubbing together is the same as putting it in,” explains the priest. “You’re not to go near that woman again. Now, say five Hail Mary’s and put $50 in the poor box.”
The man leaves confessional, says his prayers, and then walks over to the poor box. He pauses for a moment and then decides to leave.
The priest quickly runs over to the man and exclaims, “I saw that… you didn’t put any money in the poor box!”
“Well Father, I rubbed up against it and, like you said, it’s the same as putting it in!”
An escaped convict broke into a house and tied up a young couple who had been sleeping in the bedroom.
As soon as he had a chance, the husband turned to his voluptuous young wife, bound up on the bed in a skimpy nightgown, and whispered, “Honey, this guy hasn’t seen a woman in years.
Just cooperate with anything he wants. If he wants to have sex with you, just go along with it and pretend you like it. Our lives depend on it.”
“Dear,” the wife hissed, spitting out her gag, “I’m so relieved you feel that way, because he just told me he thinks you are really cute!”
That anonymous is deluded! He must be writing from a help centre!

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at thesky and tell me what you see”
Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars”
“What does that tell you?” enquired Holmes.
Watson pondered for a minute. “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful clear day tomorrow. What does it tell YOU?”
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. “Watson, you idiot, some bastard has stolen our tent”
Jeremy – how old are you out of interest?
Call me a twat, call me an old romantic, call me a Duri Dhirkhov, but I believe that Annoymous is being genuine. Whether he’s right or not is another thing.
I hope hes right cannot see it in a million years mind !!! de rossi 10% chance villa no chance cannot beleive Wenger would ever spend over 35mill on a forward in fact over 15mill is far fetched !!!
My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, ‘What’s on TV?’
I said, ‘Dust.’
And then the fight started…
******************************************
My wife and I are watching “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, “Do you want to have sex?”
“No,” she answered.
I then said, “Is that your final answer?”
She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying, “Yes.”
So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”
And then the fight started….
******************************************
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the
radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation and whispered, “The weather out there is terrible.”
My loving wife of 10 years replied, “Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?”
And that’s how the fight started…
******************************************
I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. He was a Dwarf.
He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, “I AM NOT HAPPY!!!”
So, I looked down at him and said, “Well, then which one are you?”
And then the fight started…..
*****************************************
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’
I bought her a set of bathroom scales.
And then the fight started…
******************************************
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive so, I took her to a petrol station.
And then the fight started…
******************************************
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she processed my Social Security application When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might have got disability, too.’
And then the fight started….
******************************************
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, ‘Do you know her?’
‘Yes,’ I sighed, ‘She’s my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn’t been sober since.’
‘My Goodness!’ says my wife, ‘who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?’
And then the fight started…
******************************************
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
“I’ll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.”
He said, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”"
Nah, she can order for herself.”
And then the fight started…
******************************************
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, ‘I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.’
The husband replies, ‘Your eyesight’s damn near perfect.’
And then the fight started…..

CESC FABREGAS has declared his Arsenal ambitions to try and end constant speculation about his future once and for all.
“I am not sure how many times I need to talk directly about my commitment to Arsenal as I continue to say the same thing over and over again,” he said. “It appears that every time I have spoken to the Spanish media recently, my words have bounced back to England, leaving question marks about my future. So, for anyone who is unclear or may have misunderstood what my position is, let me make myself absolutely crystal clear – I am whole- heartedly committed to Arsenal and my future lies with this great club.”
cricket is going well
Fresh from her shower, a woman stands in front of the mirror, complaining to her husband that her breasts are too small.
Instead of characteristically telling her it’s not so, the husband uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion. “If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between your breasts for a few seconds.”
Willing to try anything, the wife fetches a piece of toilet paper, and stands in front of the mirror, rubbing it between her breasts.
“How long will this take?”, she asks.
“They’ll grow larger over a period of years”, he replies.
The wife stops. “Why do you think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts grow over the years?”
“Worked for your ass, didn’t it?”
Doing 120 in a 65, he knew he was in trouble when the cop pulled in behind him with the roof lights on. Figuring he could just lose the cop he floored the Ferrari. 130, 140, 150 and still the cop was right on his tail. 170, 180, still could not ditch the cop. Giving up he pulled over.
The cop approached the car,” Give me one damn good reason why I shouldn’t give you the biggest ticket this world has ever seen”
“Well, he stated, ” Just last week my wife ran off with a cop.”
“SO WHAT!!!” the cop screamed.
“I thought you were trying to bring her back.”

I’ve been asking for this to happen over here for fucking ages!!!!
http://fourfourtwo.com/news/restoftheworld/34366/default.aspx
An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn’t know anyone who would spade up his potato garden.
The old man wrote to his son about it, and received this reply, “For HEAVENS SAKE, don’t dig up that garden, that’s where I buried the GUNS!”
At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden, but didn’t find any guns.
Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next.
His son’s reply was: “Just plant your potatoes.”
A man walks into the sheriff’s office… “I want to become a deputy!”
“Good, I want to you to catch this man” says the sheriff handling the man a wanted poster.
The poster reads : ‘Last seen wearing a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper pants, and brown paper boots.’
“What’s he wanted for?” asked the hopeful yound man.
“Rustling.”

My Auntie has a son Steve with Tourette’s, I don’t see them very often but I paid them a visit last Sunday.
Steve and I were sitting waiting for my aunty to bring in some tea when all of a sudden he looked at me and said, “open the door, you cunt.”
I felt a little bit embarrassed and did not reply.
He said again, “open the fucking door, you stupid cunt.”
I began to feel completely awkward and did not have a clue how I should respond, so just pretended I did not hear him say anything.
He started getting agitated and piped up, “you useless cunt, open the fucking door.”
At which point, to my relief, my aunty came into the room and said, “don’t worry, dear, he’s just trying to tell you a knock-knock joke.”
A train hits a bus load of nuns and they all perish. They are all in heaven trying to enter the pearly gates past St.Peter. He asks the first nun, “Sister Karen have you ever had any contact with a penis???”
The nun giggles and replies, “Well, once I touched the head of one with the tip of my finger.”
St Peter says OK, dip the tip of your finger in the holy water and pass through the gate.
St Peter asks the next nun the same question. “Sister Elizabeth have you ever had any contact with a penis..”
The nun is a little reluctant but reply’s
“Well I once fondled and stroked one..
St Peter says, “OK dip your hand in the holy water and pass through the gate…”
All of a sudden there is a lot of commotion in the
line of nuns. One nun is pushing her way to the front of the line. When she reaches the front of the line St Peter says “Sister, what seems to be the rush???”
The nun replys “If I’m going to have to gargle that holy water, I want to go before Sister Mary sticks her ass in it!!!”
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. “Reverend,” she said, “I have a problem, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It’s very embarrassing. What should I do?”
“I have an idea,” said the minister. “Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg.”
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. “And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?” he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
“Jesus!”, Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hatpin.
“Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones,” said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. “Who is your redeemer?” he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
“God!” Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.
“Right again,” said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin again.
The minister asked, “And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?”
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, “You stick that goddamned thing in me one more time and I’ll break it in half and shove it up your ass!”
“Amen,” replied the congregation.
One day a construction worker left the job a little early, and when he got home he found his wife in bed with another man. Purple with rage, he hauled the man down the stairs and into the garage where he proceeded to secure his dick in a vice. Utterly terrified, the man screamed, “Stop, stop! you’re not going to cut it off, are you? ARE YOU?”"Nope,” replied the construction worker, “You are…I’m going to set the garage on fire.”

Paris St Germain have revealed that they pulled out of negotiations for Real Madrid’s Gabriel Heinze because they felt their defensive options were suitably covered by highly-rated youngster Mamadou Sakho. The French under-21 international, who was heavily linked with Arsenal earlier in the summer, looks set to firmly establish himself at the Parc du Prince and is being tipped by many in his homeland for a place in Raymond Domenech’s World Cup squad.
Heinze, who enjoyed great success in France during a previous spell with PSG, looked likely to rejoin Antoine Kombouare’s outfit, but has instead joined south coast club Marseille.
Speaking about the decision, Kombouare relayed the reasons for the last minute abandonment of the move:
“Signing Heinze would have made things especially difficult for young Sakho,” he told the AFP news agency.
Sebastien Bazin, president of the Parisian club, expanded on his coach’s comment. “We had the means, so we thought,” he explained. “We had a choice: we decided not to let the move go any further. Heinze is an iconic player, but Sakho is so talented he should be playing.”
Personally i blame ArsenalKenya haha.
so out of all the names only zapata looks likely now and that wont happen comon arsen sign someone ffs

The psychology instructor had just finished a lecture on mental health and had proceeded to give an oral quiz to the freshman class.
Speaking specifically about manic depression, the instructor asked, “How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?”
A young man in the rear of the room raised his hand and answered, “ARSENAL FAN?”
At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players, “Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?” The little boy nodded yes.
“Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?” The little boy nodded yes.
“So,” the coach continued, “when a GOAL IS SCORED, or you are judged to have made a foul, you don’t argue or curse or attack the ref. Do you understand all that?” Again, the boy nodded yes.
“Good,” said the coach. “Now go over there and explain it to your mother.

A football coach walked into the locker room before a game, looked over to his star player and said, “I’m not supposed to let you play since you failed math, but we need you in there. So what I have to do is ask you a math question and if you get it right, you can play.” The player agreed, and the coach looked into his eyes intently and asks, “Okay, now concentrate…what is two plus two?” The player thought for a moment and then he answered, “Four?” “Four?!?” the coach exclaimed, excited that he got it right. At that, all the other players on the team began screaming, “Come on coach, give him another chance!”

What’s the email address for the competition, and is the draw just for this blog, or are all the blog entries gonna be sent together, and one phone gets won all together, or one per blog??
Also – why am I still le chump of the week when i did nothing wrong?!
Where did you hear that sami?
A (Le Chump) – you missed you w/e post slot
Apparently so wardo – apart from I was never told I had a slot, and was never asked to do one for the weekend!
yes and your a chump which also helps
A – Harsh I know! Didn’t you say on the Friday that you were working on something but that it wasn’t ready yet?
A – Yeah, you’re still a chump though!
yeah I know A….I saw your post on Monday saying you were unaware……
No taig – I was never told a slot to do a guest blog – Pedro just said to do one sometime, was never given a specific time!
A Chump says:
TAIG is right though A……you’re stilla “Le chump”
The TAIG is always right!
bollocks you copied me, cheater
can we all make sure that when responding or communicating with A we start the bog “A is le chump 2009″
Should get the message across
lol, I resent this, being victimised by le grove!
shut up you chump
hahahaha
Gazzetta in Italy is saying that Liverpool want Aquilani to replace Alonso and that would mean it is even more unlikely that De Rossi would be allowed to leave Roma. And that it would be for around £30m if it ever happened.
Chuuuuuuump!
Chump – Just ignore it!
A Chump – its only a bit of fun….at your expense but still fun for me anyway
De Rossi was a made up blog rumour, like Palacio – Aquilani is actually happening, and he didn’t play for Roma last night so isn’t cup tied. De Rossi did play because there’s no chance of him going anywhere
lol I know Nick, I won’t hold it against you!
maybe we could be in for aquailani was before, and who wants to live in fucking liverpool
rome/liverpool both full of thieving fuckers so who knows
good point nick……Rome is not the nicest place.
very bored and 30 minutes to waste. predictions for saturday… beat madrid 1-0 and draw 1-1 with rangers. rosicky doesn’t play in either game and anonymous will be even more chumpier than A after no signings announced on the sunday
* and sunday
“it could liverpool or rome anywhere called home” aint that out of a song by the beautiful south
tap-in for 1st ever hatrick…
damn!
like fuck this is the premier league mate no givens here
dont believe Anom…..could be true but dont believe it.
Altho I did have a dream that we had bought Villa……..i actualy dreamt that I saw it on SSN and could not wait to blog it on Le Grove.
I actually dream about Le Grove…how sad.
wierdo sorry wardo thats ok
They said Flamini was not good, if he buys himself out of a contract then thats fine, he can leave. Only AW believed in him.
They were wrong.
I’m glad you guys don’t form the AFC board of directors, we would be in a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!1
if ananymous had stuck to de rossi only he may have got a lot more believers. the villa bit was farcial.
I hope its true… even if there is a .00001 % chance of it happening.
He should really have chosen a player who’s team wasn’t playing in a European game before the weekend, so that the rumour could have at least lasted until the date the players were supposedly unveiled, rather than the player who’s already signed for us turning out in a Roma kit last night!
lol nick…that is what thrush called me earlier when I said about who I get my tickets off…….
who do you get your tickets off????
also where the fuck are irish and steve?????
back offthe net
choy he claimed he’d signed but was just being unveiled on sunday didn’t he? If that was the case he couldn’t have played for Roma last night! If there were any talks at all then he wouldn’t have played.
not really sure I can say Nick….. the point I was making is that he is pretty senior (not a player). Not AW or PR…….and he doesn’t let much info come my way!! I’ve tried and tried…….and got sod all (in terms of factual info).
The only thing that he said that was not in the papers is that “Arsene was furious about Eboue getting boo’d” but that was months ago…….I do get a few of his opinions but they’re not factual….one of them has come true and the second looks likely
wardo scanned today cant see anything were you having another dream!!!!!!
he said personal terms have been agreed..
le chump – you are bang on there mate….fully agree.
look like i am the only one to follow his rumour
emm,…not a player quite senior… is it silvestra????

Guys, Anoymous said….
“Daniele De Rossi has just been given the go ahead in his move, all tax accounts have been cleared, at this stage it is just down to the club to finalise a medical.”
Surely he wouldn’t have signed yet. Isn’t that done AFTER the medical?
Nick…10:19 is when I posted it.
I just scanned and it didn;t work !!! had to scroll through.

nick my sauce comes in a satchet
No thats all im gunna say on the mater,under no circumstances will i revel my hp sauce

yuck… that was bad sorry everyone
my sauce told me that arsenal are relying on the extra £6m they would get from the emirate cup gate receipts to add to the £40m from badey toure sales
the £46m would be used to lure Jermaine Jenas and Patrice Evra from our bitter rivals
makes sense fran we are short of left backs, keep in touch with that sauce
the only thing my sauce has been wrong about was that mayonaisse goes nicely with lamb chops
my sauce is tata toure
Jenas just wants to set the records straight and Evra wants to see us complete our transition from boyzIIMen
Tony Cascerino is talking about us again!
“Arsenal are a club in no-man’s-land unless Arsene Wenger makes some dramatic signings in this transfer window – and nothing so far has suggested that he will.”
“This is a strange and uncertain time for Arsenal.”
“It’s hard to be positive, which is bizarre for such a big club that is stable, has talented players and has known great success so recently.”
“When Arsenal moved to the Emirates Stadium it was a key moment in their plan to become the dominant London club. But where is the great team to match the great crowds?”
“The line-up isn’t worthy of the arena.”
“There’s a contrast between the theory and the reality because the transfer business isn’t in tune with the club’s status or ambitions.”
“There won’t be full houses at the Emirates in the years to come unless there’s a winning team on the pitch because fans who’ve been spoilt by the quality and success of Wenger’s teams won’t keep paying high ticket prices for an inferior product.”
“No matter what the manager says about this current squad having great ability, they’re not a patch on his title-winning sides and many of their performances last season were indifferent.”
“Anyway, it’s been so long without silverware that attractive football isn’t enough to placate supporters any more.”
“I disagree that Arsenal are an improving team.”
“Like England in past years, I don’t see a team of winners – I see a team that can be expected to reach the quarter-finals of tournaments each time but lacking the quality and mettle to do any better.”
“You’d have thought that the success of the Andriy Arshavin transfer would help Wenger realise the value of splashing out for stars in their prime, for the boost it provides to both team and fans.”
“Obviously not, to judge from his recent comments about not feeling in any hurry to buy again and insisting that the squad is strong enough to challenge.”
“It’d take the pressure off him – and place it on the board – if he was to admit that Arsenal just don’t have the finances to be competitive.”
“But he’s saying almost the opposite.”
i heard jenus had just signed a new sponsorship with T-mobile
Good afternoon to one and all from ‘sunny’ Newquay

Guys, I doubt we’ll be bringing in PV4. I can’t see Wenger doing that.
Reading between the lines, it’s only PV4 wanting to come to us rather than the scum but nothing about us wanting him.
later wardo
Here’s a new name that hasn’t been discussed before..
http://community.footballpools.com/blog/2009/07/31/neven-subotic-arsenal-man-city-compete-for-sensational-20-year-old-bundesliga-star-6-ft-4-serb-defender/
Trust!
trust what ddm
We will sign Chamakh, and possibly Matuidi, and that will be all
HB sauce
anyone guessing what formation we will pla this year?
I am going for a 433 like this:
GK
usual back four
……………….Diaby/song
…………….Cesc/ramsey….Nasri/rosicky/denilson
Walcott………RVP/Bendy/eddie……….Shawa/rosicky
Chamakh.I wonder how could Arsene scout such horrible players.First Adebayor,then him.
if wenger dont buy, the first blip we have the media will call for his head an dthe board will have no choice but to serve it so he must know this and will buy trust him
Nick. My mate’s nan’s postman knows a guy who used to speak a bit of French
Evening all….some mighty fine joking going on today….took me ages to read them all and all i have to say is that Nick, for al your brilliant jokes you have some might shit ones too.
HB its reliable then top stuff
the 3 (midfield will interchange roles. It would give steel of diaby, craftiness of nasri and more freedom for cesc. diaby can move forward too when nasri and cesc combine to defend. The attacking 3 can interchange roles too.
ying and yang stu its the way of the universe
What are your views grovers?
Nick, Yes, he assures me he’s willing to stake his reputation on it
Trust the sauce Nick
use the sauce DDM, but make sure you stand it upside down afterwards
zak, i doubt Diaby could be the “steel”. That lanky fecker cant defend for his life and every tackle he makes injures the player. He would be a massive liability as the defensive midfielder. Even more so than having silvestray in defence.
I am sure Diaby can be the Child of Hell STU
And speaking of Diaby, that training, musche building camp he went to in the summer did fuck all. He looks the exact same as last seasonm.
he is really good at tackling, song can be brought in too
stu imagine you are due to play against diaby, knowing the cunt cant tackle and his injured his own player in training would you want to go in with him.
Yeah and cause havoc for our own defence.
This blog is total foolish! You people brood on about what we dont have. Be positive. We are definite contenders
Yeah diaby won’t ever have the intelligence to play as our DM, he’s just too dumb on the pitch, it’s a pity.
Nick, i would do a Stevie G and striker first. He cant tackle me if he is injured himself.
zak if you dont like it why do you keep coming back
Have a look at Arsenal Column, a classy blog stressing on tactical side.
Zak, i say it is you who is the foolish one!
I loved it Nick until I saw arsenal Column
Yeah, arsenal column has some great articles but they post 1 a week and get about 10 comments per post. Nothing like one here where the fun is to be had.
yeah Zak.. thats how the world works.. we want what we don’t have!
Well if you dont like it here then leave. Noone is forcing you to stay.
self defence good call stu, like your style…ref “but the game hadn’t kicked off” stu “heres an autograph” ref “great challenge, yellow card for diaby for play acting”
Not exactly Choy, i dont have aids and i dont want that….
Yeah Diaby that fucking diver, wrecked my studs with his fucking knee!
hahah… nice one stu..
but i was referring to trophies and word class players Zak!!!
No offnce pals. I still love it. I was a tad disappointed by the way ppl were calling for replacements when they knew it wasnt coming. look to play with current squad. I AM STILL A GROVER
Replacements are coming zak – minimum two players will come in if senderos and eboue leave as expected
Lets hope A
I doubt Rvp would have extended as well… if he knew that ade and toure would leave and no one would come in!!
Paddy Power’s top scorer odds are ridiculous, 66/1 for Bendy! Players more likely to be top scorer than him supposedly – darren bent, santa cruz, kuyt, carew
ridiculous!
Lads im starving but i dont know what to have. Any easy siggestions?
Well then i know who im betting for. a fiver on Barbie.
I stuck a fiver on a few weeks ago with ladbrokes at 66/1 stu, those odds dropped a bit though. How can his odds be so low?! He scored more than half the people ahead of him, and he’s on par with the likes of carlton cole and james beattie!
I’m not sure he’ll be top scorer, but at those odds certainly worth a punt! paddy power are doubling odds if the winner scores 30 goals, doubt it’ll happen though.
What are Eduardos odds?
how bout a bacon sarnie in tomato sauce,after this afternoon bollocks waffle thats what sublimely i want
22/1
stu he blinks alot, plays for croatia bit is Brazilian thats pretty odd to me
fuck it i think i will leave it there
Nick, i assume you mean rashers because we dont call it bacon here. And if eating from a big i would orefer sausages but they take time so its a no go. I want the lazy mans meal/
So right now a cup-o-soup is looking like the winner.
beans on toast then stu easy as jordan
I dont know how to make beans…..i know what the make tho.
stu you joking, eat the fuckers cold then even quicker
………and i just found out that i have no soup. So starvation it is…. oh well..cant have it all my way.
even quicker have a cold bean sarnie
Fuck it…i’ll just have tea and tesco biscuits.
Does anyone know if our prodigal son who did not make it with the real madrid will be playing in the emirates cup over the weekend with the immitation (athletico) madrid?
P.S. Le grove favourite midfielder should be lining up for sundeland against celtic this weekend as well
are go on on have a cup a ttttttteeeeeeeee
like wenger always said if it aint a good bye i dont want it…Good bye
“Even an unenthusiastic Adebayor is more useful than a willing Niklas Bendtner up front, and why did Arsenal go to so much effort to keep Adebayor last year, giving him a lucrative new contract, only to sell him twelve months later?”
“Are Arsenal a selling club now, both because they need the money and because they’re no longer the kind of outfit that ambitious players want to stay with for long?”
Adebayor is hardly ambitious in footballing terms.
Actually an enthusiastic bendtner is much better than a half assed Adebayor because he would contribute more to the build up etc and thus arsenal would score more and e better of.
reyes plays of the bench
Where’s that from David?? Sounds like the sort of gibberish that comes out of Cascarino??
I’d rather have Jay Simpson than an unenthusiastic Ade!
david and stu you both c+pasted those comments from other sites
A he ripped it straight from Cascarino’s page
Ha ah ok herbert C, cheers. Cascarino – what a clown. Year after year he speaks complete and utter bollocks, at the start of every season he makes absolutely ridiculous predictions of what’ll happen the next season, the opposite of which usually comes true, yet he comes back time and time again ignoring how wrong he is all the time!
Where’s Anoymous with his latest update?
John A – he said he would come on after he finishes work.
But if he does come on it will be entertaining as we all know he is being a wind up merchant!
Trust me, all you would like Matuidi. He’s a midget but so was Flamini. He’s very similar and better going forward.
Re Vieira:
LONDON (AP) – Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he believes former captain Patrick Vieira wants to come back to the Premier League club and will consider “the psychological impact of a player of that stature” returning.
The 33-year-old Vieira has a year left on his Inter Milan contract and has been linked with a move to Arsenal or north London rival Tottenham.
Wenger said Friday that Vieira is a “great player, who did extremely well for the club and is a legend here.”
Despite selling Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City, Wenger says his squad is stronger and wiser than before.
http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/07/31/1414909/breaking-news-obafemi-martins-joins-vfl-wolfsburg-from-newcastle-
I hope they stop linking us with him now.Can’t wait for chamakh to join another club now
http://www.arsenal.com/splash/132/the-emirates-cup-on-tv-online
LOL, they cut Toure out. You could easily tell
So pat you think vieira will come?
thats good news about martins, now we just need someone else to sign chamakh
We are a weakened side without Ade and Kolo. Fact. If we sold Ade for 35 million last season without replacing…there’s no way we’d have gotten top 4 or semifinals championsleague.
Yes I do. I’m all for it as long as he’s not the only one coming in.
He’s free. Think about it.
We’ve been playing a 4-3-3 in all our preseason games. Vieira wouldn’t fit as well in a 4-4-2 anymore b/c he doesn’t have the legs to cover the ground. In a 4-3-3, he could be the one furthest back and only occasionally go up.
Physical presence…check
Aggression, heart, desire…check
leadership…check
tackling/defensive work…check
offensive play…sadly lost it but we don’t need that aspect anymore
He’s going to give it 100% with the world cup coming up
Nah Taig were cruising to a 200 plus lead
Reasons why Chamakh aka Numbchucks should not be signed
1) Bordeaux have been angling to sell this unsettled player for sometime now… echoes similar mannerisms to Ade pleading for a big move away
2) The player is a diver.. imo the majority of Gooners would not like to see players with poor moral standards play for AFC because it sets a bad example to future generations of kids
3)The African Nations Cup… players absenteeism during the middle of the season completely disrupts the balance of the team when a key player is sent off on nation duty and this terribly unsettling much like when a player is prevented from playing due to an injury for a good month or so
Bordeaux say that Wenger has Chamakh’s on his list but I would like to know how many more players he has on that list… hopefully there are better targets.. because as an option he could just turn out to be just another AdeBuyWhore in disguise!!
Agree PAT.In a 4-3-3 system vieira could do the job.With him in the side we will finish games better as well.We need a new DM though.Also it would mean less of denilson and song
We’re “watching” the crazy Turkish CB:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servet_Cetin
I’d take him!
Squad certainly David, not side, as neither would’ve been in the first XI this season. That discussion’s been had though! Losing any player weakens a squad, one player less to choose from, but we got double what both of them are worth, and it gave us money to strengthen, which we will.
redbearer I really don’t get that chamakh thin, why on earth would wenger phone him to say he’s on his list?! Seems like a dodgy story to me
His nickname from Galatasaray fans is ayıboğan which literally means; a man who could choke a bear, due to his height and strength. haha
Ivory Coast player Didier Drogba said the following after their international match with Turkey back in February 2009.
“ I have never struggled like this against any defence in the English Premier League. Servet is devilish. I could hear him breathe and it sent chills down the back of my neck
Pat I disagree that Vieira could be the one furthest back in 4-3-3, it’d have to be in the 4-2-3-1 with another DM alongside him, because he doesn’t have the legs to chase midfield runners or cover the ground anymore unfortunately. I’d like him to come in, but people shouldn’t have illusions about his starting games regularly for us, or playing ahead of song/denilson most of the time.
sounds like we’ve put a slight bid in for chamakh….not that i want this to happen, but it’s being repoted in france

Ade is a first team member A,
His wages alone demand it.
“I have never struggled like this against any defence in the English Premier League. Servet is devilish. I could hear him breathe and it sent chills down the back of my neck”
Drogba certainly rates him

Have to disagree David, wages don’t mean shit when it comes to team selection, except that we aren’t really the sort of club who can afford expensive players on the bench, but that’s a reason players get sold, not put in the first team.
a- go and put a score on bendy 66-1,you never know!
Funny you say that now A,
Because your the same Geezer that gave the reason why Ade cant sit on the bench would be because of his high wages…are you bipolar or something?
And there is not a chance Ade would be on the bench for anything but theres no point arguing over
Huh David??
Nothing i’ve said contradicts that!
Just because Ade is on high wages, doesn’t mean Wenger would have to pick him.
He wasn’t good enough to be a first teamer.
He was on high wages.
We aren’t a club who can afford to have subs on massive wages.
Therefore we have to either have someone on high wages on the bench, or sell him. We’d never pick someone in the team because of his wages.
Nothing contradicts itself there….
kirby i stuck a fiver on a while ago, being unemployed and poor that’s alot of money for me!
Speaking of Martins, might be worth a punt to be top scorer in the german league next year
Just have to say that it is a sad day for football to lose such an honourable man…
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/-robson-was-a-man-of-exceptional-stature-
Cheers for the great England memories Sir Bobby!
i think wenger is still waiting for offers for silvest and senderos,i dont believe for one second tahtw wenger said that he does want top class players in squad,but at the same he is not going let known how much he availeble and he is going it sound that he desperete players because the prices are going be inflated,particualy when for most part the team quite good,i feel wenger sticks with players in midfield risicky, aa and fab will vital in the team particualy risicky and cesc,i have no dought that he will buy some players but he is not shoutingf from rooftops about it.people keep on saying that toure needs to replaced but i think thats vern which is why he bought him so early beacuse he knew for a long time that toure was leaving but he is not sure of situation silvest and senderos but to have 3 cb out of contract next season,i am not sure if he going use ramsey in dm or were he will use diaby,also hope wenger uses traore in left midfield position he clearly far behind clichy and gibbs defensively but going and his passing crossing are very good and will provide good cover in midfield
Hello! So, from De Rossi and Villa to Chamakh and Matuidi. That’s the Arsenal way.LOL.
Looks like we wont be entertained by Anonymous’s wind up update on De Rossi tonight. Shame.
Maciek, we were never linked with De Rossi and Villa
Keith, it’s funny how we all need a quality signings, are hopes are high and suddenly we find out that we have bought yet another 2nd rate player. Ann-ous sounded so truthly, that I have started to belive that we are really after Villa and Rossi. Sadly, we aren’t. So, no new signings to lift supporters’ spirits.
This years going to be tough. Villa, Spurs, Everton and City…
Looking at Wengers quotes today, he is thinking about bringing in Vieira but it also sounds like is isn’t bothering to bring in anyone else – see the following.
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/09/07/31/SOCCER_Arsenal_Nightlead.html
Pat, sadly it was just a hoax. No dissrespect to Anonymous, but it was all just a lie.
And Arsene is walking in his Wengerland, out of touch with reality.
Signs and symptoms
Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience abnormally elevated (manic or hypomanic) and abnormally depressed states for a period of time in a way that interferes with functioning. Bipolar disorder has been estimated to afflict more than 5 million Americans—about 1 out of every 45 adults and 4 out of 5 Arsenal fans during the preseason.[4]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder
Matuidi would lift my spirits
We all knew it was a lie when he first said it Maciek. Why would anyone think its real??
Yes Pat. Spot on, but he made it so convincing.
Haha. Anyone who actually that Annoymous guy seriously …. Go and slap yourselves in the face…. RIGHT NOW!
*took
Well reading Wengers comments it looks as tho paddy will return !!
Sakho coming to town…let’s hope he stays
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-we-are-legend-vieira-s-no-1-choice
kieth
only time will tell but wenger has never come out said that he is not going any more signing he said he is close to signing anyone and he happy with squad which you would expect him to say,you must know by now wenger always does tranfers private,did thesame thing when he signed sagna and edwardo and most of his signings,there is long way to go
Its not a rumours after all.
http://goonertalk.com/2009/07/31/video-samir-nasri-breaks-leg/
*rumour
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/rosicky-set-for-emirates-stadium-return
Matudi is 5’7…I mean really?? Is that true? He looks like a lanky fucker but 5’7…is that for real. I guess Makelele opened the door for all short men to be DMs and even I can’t argue with that one.
thanks for the link.
There were suggestions that Diaby was clumsy or even malicious when it Nasri’s injury was first announced, but I didn’t see any way to blame Diaby for that
Top 1000 yeah!!… Why is skytext saying we have collected only £30m from City following sales of ade and toure?
Can we be slapping others for that Honest?
I am willing to slap whoever is grasping at those anon straws. Actually they arent even straws to grasp at, more like grasping at the gas i just passed.
Lazer 5.7 ft.That is 5ft 9 inches.
FECK!! I’ll take a midget with good ball skills who can chase a player down at this point.
From his press conference i conclude the following:
1) Signing Vieira is a def. possibility !
2) AW has def. put in a bid for Chamakh and i think this will drag out a little bit
3) We are looking for players nad will sign someone
4) Please put the annoymous stuff to rest now , the only way Villa and De Rossi will come to the Emirates will be if they buy tickets.
fuck me, Arsene was accused of never replacing Vieira properly, now – voila – why replace if you can have more of the same…
I’ve just got my membership pack – now that’s cheap…
a taste of things to come?
Should have added to my last post,,
Rip Sir Bobby a shining light among the greed and disloyalty that now infects the modern game your be sorely missed by all.
I think signing Viera would be a bad idea, and i don’t expect it to happen
Vieira returning would be a bad idea because his legs are gone and if he was shit it would tarnish his legendary status with us. simples…
HB, Im not so sure think he could go a good job in a holding role for a season didnt beleive it at first but it seems to be gathering momentum and Wengers comments seem to indicate hes seriously thinking about it
I assume ye have seen the Nasri leg breaking challenge. Hardly Diabys fault…but if you think about it then its all his fucking fault. Shooting from there ffs! He should be passing
“SHOO….TING”? What the hell is that? some kind of magical incantation?
Stu for sure he wouldnt be the maurading midfielder he was but he could to a job and would defo add height defending set pieces !!!
I think alot will depend on how we line up as well as he wouldnt have the legs for a 2 man midfield but if hes going with 3 he would give the other 2 the extra confidence to go forward
Chippy, he would add height but not much more because he is so past it physically. None of the energy that he used to have. I think its a bad idea but if it happens then i would welcme him obviously.
Stu..viera could fit into a 4-2-3-1 system.I know i would rather have vieira play than denilson.Definitely not a bad player to have in the squad.
But with Vieira there would still be no energy in midfield. The reason we want a midfielder is to allow the others the confidence to go forward knowing someone is back there all the time. But Vieira has no pace, just like Denilsong so all the midfielders would still have to rush back to defend.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Vieira#Internazionale
Look at this line: Vieira has returned to arsenal on 31st of July. That’s today !
Another hoax ?
I just don’t think he’d have the engine, he couldn’t play many games. And it would be best for him and us to remember him as the player he was.
Stu, giggs and scholes have no legs but have what we need
I agree Bill. I dont want him back because if he didnt perform then it might lessen his status. And thats the last thing we want.
bk, but neither start most of their games. Giggs started like 12 PL games for united last season.
If we buy a DM they should be first choice always. Not bought to rotate with Denilsong. The whole point of buying a DM is to keep them out of the starting XI.
I would love to see him back, only when we buy another DM.
He would be the ideal coach for the other DM’s at the training ground, even if he only plays sporadically.
I dont think Vieira is a DM. Maybe he has gone back there in recent years because of age but he wasnt really a DM when he was with us or for France. Sure he defended but that wasnt one of his major respinsibilities. He is/was more box to box than anything else.
I’m sorry if this has been mentioned already guys but I’m so disgusted at the Mutu ruling I literally feel unwell. I think there is a distinct lack of perspective among CAS and FIFA and they shoud feel ashamed of themselves.
I can see both sides of the arguement as was originally in the dont want him back camp as it would be sad if he didnt perform but just for his presence on the training ground and experience with the younger lads i think it would be worth the punt
stu
having experience always helps both giggs and paulschols its not just a matter of how games they played its which games they in,almost every vital game he played giggs instead of anderson because of his experience he may not still have legs as much as he had before but what he has in between his ears is how he is still around will conitue to be for at least 1 more year,the fact we could use with real experience in the team thats why i think risicky and aa are vital because of there experience could do witha few more though
im not talkin about him been 1st choice all the time just been there.I still want a dm[quality].bercamp got less and less time but what he did in training and matchdays is unknown
no vieira .. the last thing i wanna be saying is song/ denilson please come back !!!!
I agree Angelos. Chelsea terminated his contract. That was their choice and now Mutu has to pay 15m or whatever in 1 go. Regardless of how much money you earn who just has 15m lying around.
Villa beating Porto 2-0.
Would you guys want Sevet Cetin at Arsenal?
choy,denilsong need someone to lead them.we lost a lead a few times last year when a calm head was needed
He’s gone to Marseille..
Sevet Cetin that is.
I know Stu. The worst thing is people are actually trying to justify this decision without really even knowing anything about the situation. He took cocaine twice…TWICE…and people are making it out like he was a coke fiend. I’m not condoning what he did one bit but everyone makes mistakes and I think paying close to 15mil for this particular mistake is extortionate. People sleep on the wheel and get charged less.
No he hasn’t eastcamp. The deal fell through. ArsenalInsider had this on his site:
An Arsenalinsider source has let us know that Arsenal Chief Scout has been at a Europa cup match watching it is believed the Galatasaray hard man Servet Cetin. The 28 yr old central defender is an uncompromising hard man. Who would make a tackle from Gilles Grimandi look tame. He was destined to join Marseille football club, yet the deal has yet to be done.
Yeah sure he just took coke twice…. You mistake taking coke to getting caught taking coke! It is a massive fine though, almost half the transfer fee they paid for him. Why was it so big?
To be honest, I’ve only seen him at Euro 08, but he was a standout defender there.
6’3″ and 28 years old. Looks like he’s exactly what we need. Lets hope
A, I think drug-related stuff is written into the contract. It breaks the contract and therefore he has to pay a fee that was previously established. It might have been half his transfer actually, who knows
28 is too old for us imo – gallas and vermaelen are going to be our number one pairing this season, if we bring in a centre back it’ll be someone who’s going to be happy on the bench, playing now and then, and taking over from gallas at the end of the season.
I remember him also from the Euro 08. A real beast of a defender.
Our back-up at CB is very weak: only Djourou, Senderos and Silvestre. I don’t consider Song a CB.
If Gallas or/and Vermaelen get injured, we’re screwed.
A, there is no point of buying an untested CB when Gallas is gone next year.
I hope theres some truth to this story
I wouldn’t say it’s that weak eastcamp, if we kept senderos. I do consider song a centre back too, rather he played than jd or silvestre!
Obviously if senderos stayed we won’t be signing a centre back, but i really expect him to go.
I think Song is our 3rd best CB actually. Has he ever disappointed when he played CB? He looks a lot more natural there than Senderos or Djourou
eastcamp i’d disagree, i expect us to keep senderos, or buy someone who’s a better third choice than both jd and silvestre.
I wouldn’t say than Senderos pat, but he’s always looked more assured than jd or silvestre imo. I’m hoping he just didn’t play there in pre season because he can play in midfield more than the others, rather than because jd is ahead of him.
“At the moment we need to look at the level of experience in our squad to make this kind of decision”
–Why does wenger always complicate the simplest of things? The man never gives a definitive answer does he. It looks pretty certain Vieira’s on his way back. Good times i say, however, we still need to bring in a ready DM, winger and CB.
yoooooo
Vermaelen, Gallas, Senderos, Song. Thats not bad but its not great either. Certainly better thsn Silvestray and Djourou imo.
Yeah I agree Stu. The depth is good, it’s just whether gallas and vermaelen will be good enough at first choice, but only time will tell, and that’s what the first choice pairing is gonna be.
Ideally we would have 3 top class CBs with 1 youth as back up. I guess JD or SOng would be the back up.
I dont think Senderos would be good as a rotated defender tho because of him needing games to prosper. But Gallas and Vermaelen could rotate well.
out of all that lot there’s only one top class centre back and that’s gallas the rest are ordinary
I expect Vermaelen to be considered top class by xmas
Ok. Maybe I’m wrong about Song at CB, but that’s maybe because he rarely plays there.
It all comes down to this GREAT DM we have to buy and then – with a bit of luck with injuries – we should be fine.
Maybe there could still be some truth in the £30m for De Rossi as this is the most important position we need to fill.
If it’s true that his name was on the official squad on Arsenal.com before being pulled, then it could still be true. But why did he play for Roma then yesterday ?
that’s alot to ask for a
Stu bang on Senderos when getting a good run of games shows his best form defo not at is best when in and out pf the side but then again who would be !!
there’s no chance of getting de rossi
Vermaelen won’t disappoint. But he will need some time to adapt, as all players do in the EPL.
eastcamp the de rossi rumour was an internet hoax, just like the palacio thing. I do expect us to sign a very good DM, no idea who though.
Wouldn’t say it’s that much to ask for bbk, vidic settled at utd pretty quickly, and wasn’t as highly rated when he arrived as vermaelen is
why do you keep comparing to how vidic settled in
Howdy… more chance of getting Matuidi than De Rossi.. someone was having a giraffe when they posted this name on Arsenal.com and the joke seems to be on us for believing in this nonsense!
Because it’s that type of player, only better
yeah e.c wink wink
nudge nudge.. But smaller
llol
stu
gallas is gone next season what happens then,at moment we gallas ,silvest and senderos all out of contract next season that worries me
I believe that the truth is that we are not in for anyone atm… and you will know when we are because negotiations will not be kept secret.. Wenger is being honest and unless these clubs drop their unreasonable asking prices then we will not be doing any business with them this summer!
If we were after a Vidic type defender we should have bought Juhasz
Leon, i am quite aware of that. And frankly im disgusted with regards Silvestre. I mean giving that cunt a 2 year contract ffs! He should be gone this summer…..
Vidic type defender? Cetin!!
stu
who is going to sign him,plus i would try get gallas extent his contract
I honestly think Silvestre was brought in just for Gallas. When the training pics came out, those 2 are always together. Maybe Gallas didn’t have any friends? lol
I wouldnt be suprised if he had no friends either….
Leon, Gallas has already made it clear tat he will leave at the end of his current conract. And its probably so he can get 1 final big pay day so i doubt he will sign another contract with us.
As for Silvestre….he can be released for all i care.
The team will be much more cohensively stronger now that Ade and Toure have gone… there appears to have been some disruption going on behind the scenes which probably lingered for the whole of last season.. Bringing in Arshavin was our only saving grace and fortunately brought a breathe of fresh air to a team which was very low on confidence… We need to back the players we have now and if new players arrive then we will know that the deal was a suitable one for Arsenal FC
The less the said about that that Mancunian cunt,the better.Arsene,I hope Shitvestre was not the begining of your end.
Juve 1-0 already
stu
with 3 defenders going next year it will wemger will but at least 1 maore this summer and as viera i would have back evon for 1 season the experience he would bring and lift to the team could be vital but icant see it happening.
I would be happy with Vermy, Gallas, Sendy, Djourou as our 4 cd’s. But I won’t if we sell Sendy and replace him with Silvestre or Song.
Anbd I see that we are going to buy Chamakh. Oh dear, same old, same old. So it will be Matiudi and Chamakh.
I’m sure that we won’t hear about Anonymous anytime soon. LOL.
Dzeko scored today
Cannavaro for Juve. How fitting
Metzelder is playing a blinder for Real.
I like the Juve kit
Meh….i dont think its that good. I prefered their black and gold(ish) one from last seasn.
Granero is Madrid’s Iniesta
Melo is playing
Chiellini is fucking shite….cant believe everyone wants him so bad.
Chillieni wtf has been wrong with you since the season ended? He’s been awful
CR hasn’t been good for Madrid at all in preseason. 2 goals from 2 penalties that it.
His play hasn’t been good
If we get Patrick back, and I hope we do, he should come as a player/coach. This would take the pressure off him to perform as a player and allow him to pass on his undoubted ability to our youngsters. How much would Rambo benefit from working alongside the great man??
Guys, how was Flamini doing for Milan yesterday?
Just goes to show that no matter how much money you spend that your defence will still be shit. 2 simple headers like. Madrid are gonna win fuck all if they dont sort that out.
what Stu?? Half of those defenders won’t even start.
Ramos, Albiol, and Garay aren’t playing.
Corners isn’t necessarily the defense. Its the whole team
Even so Pat, the defence should be orgaised regardless of who’s in it. I know thats not the case with everyone (like us) but mostly the defence (which is the whole team when out of possession) should be able to defend a set piece.
Kaka will be Madrid’s best player this season. Say what you want about Messi and CR, I’d still pick Kaka over both of them. He suits our style most.
His intelligence is unrivaled.
Diarra is running around like a headless chicken…without success of course
Yeah Pat, Kaka is amazing. Best player imo.
And Lass, as he is affectionately known, is so shit. I wish everyone was watching this. I mean those who classify him as a defensive midfielder. He is hopeless.
Agree Stu
I feel bad for the likes of Higuain and Negredo. They’re both quality players who won’t get much time.
Also, Madrid is playing a 4-3-3 when Higuain and Negredo are ineffectual on the wings. They’re at their best down the middle
matuidi deal done, passed medical today
press conference monday.
according to who faceman??!
was signing autographs outside highbury house according to a security guard
Damn! Matuidi is a shortie…we need height and strength!
Agreed 100% Pat. Kaka is the man. Better more complete player that has a great attitude, heart, and team spirit. Ronaldo might have more skills but is a greasy cunt from the sleazy part of town and Messi is a dribbling striker with great individual skills to beat a man.
Surely somebody would have had a photo up on the web by now?
he has strength stu, just not height, and yaya is the only player in the world who ticks ALL the boxes.
Though when rumours say stuff like that it’s almost always bollocks unfortunately, if he was signing autographs then people would have known earlier, the press etc too.
Still really hope we sign him
reckon it should be in the sundays
Who won?? I just tuned it too late..
yeah they would david
A. mate you seen Matudi play? I haven’t at all, any previews for us in case faceman is correct.
“I was not in fairness a supporter of his experience with the Under-21s for one simple reason: the youth teams are there to promote the players into the first team,” said Wenger.
“Once they are there, especially at national level, I don’t see why they go back again to the Under-21s.
“The target is not to promote the players from the first team to the second team, they are supposed to be promoted from the second team to the first team.”
Wenger is still bitter about this. Theo gonna get a spanking when he comes back. In all honesty though I think he may be right on this one.
nope lazer, just heard very good things about him from everyone i’ve spoken to, and a few people who’s opinion i trust.
The tenacity of flamini, with more power and speed, and much better on the ball.
Also, people underestimate the balance a left footed player brings to the team, Barry is distinctly average, if he was right footed he’d be no better than a sidwell, but purely because of the balance he gives he’s gotten an england career out of it!
evening grovers!
“I wouldn’t like to commentate on any phone calls I made during the day because, at the moment, I have a hundred phone calls. The only thing I can say is that we are nowhere near to signing anybody at the moment.”
Heeeloooo Mr. Pedro
Evening LAzer… and how are things Arsenal tonight?
Well hope your sources are right A. So what of DenilSong then. I am guessing at this point Song may slot in at CB when Gallas departs and Denilson will remain back up DM, that is if we get Blaise or Viera and they are able to perform. Btw I think JD is quite a disappointment, he seems to have the physical attributes but has awful positioning and understanding of the game it seems.
well Faceman just mentioned we have signed Blaise Matitudi..rumor has it..
That bastard Makelele s championing Chamakh saying he is the best forward in france.
I’d have to agree regarding JD Lazer, also Den being sub DM, though i’m sure he’d play some games. Song sub centre back
Pretty upfront and honest quotes from Wenger on Paddy. Atleast he afforded him that much respect instead of the usual denial.
Stu – have faith, it won’t happen!
A, but how strong will Matuidi seem when up against the big fuckers in the prem that he will inevitably come up against.
i dunno stu, as strong as essien did when he first came up against those big fuckers??
Yeah I think Song has shown enough to warrant a first 11 spot at some point in my book. And I think he could do a job at CB when Gallas departs. I don’t think he is the longterm solution as DM and feel he is the one who Wenger was referring to when he said he has to play center backs in midfield he has so many not Senderos (who is not really a part of the plans at this point imo).
Matuidi.. If true that’s great news but how can it have been kept quiet? It just doesn’t add up!
Yeah not sure on Chamakh myself. If we’re gonna add a striker I think we can do better otherwise go with what we have and strengthn the back and midfield more.
not sure it has been kept quiet… he was spotted looking around the emirates about a fortnight ago
Matuidi!!
But Essien and Matuidi arent the same player.
Essien is over a stone heavier and 2 inches taller(not a massive height difference but its closer to 6ft and 5ft9 seems very small imo.)
LAzer.. Chamakh would be faux pas… why get rid of 2 African nation players and then bring in another.. it makes no sense!
Song in at centre back long term… he can’t even concentrate in midfield… he’d be a nightmare at the back… I hope faceman is right about Matiudi…
No point buying chamakh because we already have Bendtner who is miles better and younger.
Redbearer… i don’t think race had anything to do with the departures…
essien is one inch taller stu, how do you know their weights?!
I remember Song was good at CB a few seasons ago. Then he played there with Silvestre against Fenerbacke and it was one of the worst defensive performances i have ever seen.
But then towards the end of last season he played in defence again and did fairly well. I still wouldnt trust him there tho.
Flamini is 5’8″
and makelele is 3 inches shorter than essien etc etc
so what?
Nah… it’s all about the African Nations Cup Stu and how it disrupts us every time… nothing to do with race that aint my bag!
ESPN. And i checked wiki first….its different heights on ESPN (which i trust more).
Stu, coming from a man who thinks Senderos is a great player, I’m surprised by your Song comments.
Redbearer, it’s to do with Ade and Kolo failing to cut it… not the ACN.
If matuidi was signing autographs then there’d be photos and the press would know. Still I really hope he signs at some point soon
Oop I meant Pedro!!
Guys i was in Bordeaux for one month in March. I went to 3 home games. Got speaking to the locals. believe me this guy will set the premiership alight! He has a little bit of every thing!Movement, height, skill and he also works like a trojan!
Right… hitting the hay… have a good one!
a, i think he may have signed the odd autograph and then chipped into a car with his agent/father/brother etc
I dont know what you mean Pedro. Song at his worst is much worse than Senderos imo. I dont hate either….i just like Song less (a lot less).
Senderos for president!
Redbearer… I wasn’t insinuating you were a racist!
Just that race had nothing to do with their departure… performance did… race was a coincidence…!
i am sorry didnt wenger say he was not close any signings,so when was the medical supposte to happen wenger sstated that he close to any signing ,sorry i have my dought about matuidi signing it would be nice but i will believe when i see confirmed on arsenal web site
Mike, so basically he is a worse version of Bendtner. (older and not better therefore worse
)
leon – wenger also said 3 weeks ago that he did not epect badey to leave for another club
Wenger lies Leon, you should know that by now.
Yes P but imo the player has a prima donna high maintenance tag attached to him… we don’t need a diving twunt with low moral standards like Ade had.. the player is itching to get away from Bordeaux and it echoes comparsions… I just smell a rat.. he is another rat boy!!
Someone called Joel left this little gem:
‘Geoff, its too bad you don’t run a business ‘
Joel, Geoff has run a business that’s turned in substantial profits year on year for the 20 years… I’d leave business acumen out of any argument you’d want to put towards him.
stu essien is 5’10″
http://www.chelseafc.com/page/PlayerProfileDetail/0,,10268~27901,00.html
actually saying he was not close to signing anybody… is a clue in itself
Cool P… imo his performances will be at least 10% of the time spent falling over on the deck!!
Really off now…
’till tomorrow!
Pedro what business does geoff run?? Is he recruiting??!
Agreed Red, i dont think we should be after players with previous attitude problems.
stu
when did wenger ever lie
We don’t do press conferences.
essien is a fair bit heavier though, he is a complete beast! i wouldn’t foresee any issues though with matuidi though, the french league is relatively similar to the prem
Fine Leon, he never lies.
But shitter….right A.
stu wenger doesn’t ever lie, he just says things that can be interpreted in every possible way!
stu
i dont know what you refering that all
yeah of course stu
Players from Ligue 1 usually adapt a lot faster than others as well.
Sagna, Evra(had only a few bad games at the start), Nasri.
Anyone else that came in recently? I can’t think atm
A, he says things to confuse us and others. Like the squad will be kept together etc. We knew it wasnt the truth.
If he isnt telling the truth then i call it a lie.
has everyone on here made a fantasy team?
I think longterm Song can develop at CB. Concentration bit is harsh Pedro. He has come on leaps and bounds and with Vermaelen next to him I could see it work with another year under his belt by then.
Yep we must learn from previous mistakes… Wenger must have known that Ade had attitude issues before he signed him.. those dubious characteristics have never favoured the club… maybe he thought he could control his nature but he was always looking for a better deal.
The only players coming from france are more often than not to us.
Cana is yet to be judjed tho. Obertan too..
Malouda recently…took him a while to settle.
No he doesn’t stu, he says things, and the media want to confuse us by spinning it a certain way.
The main priorities were keeping the players, but the players he wanted to keep, cesc, vp, theo, all the new contracts etc
I think Vermaelens ideal partner would be Gallas…or Senderos
Yep the fantasy things worth a shout A… pretty easy to do and then you can get involved in other leagues too.. so it’s a really random bit of fun… unless you can predict the future!
The media? You mean arse.com where his comments appear untouched my the media. I know the papers make up bullshit and twist a lot of his words etc but if its on arse.com we have to assume that its untouched, right?
though obviously he doesn’t want other clubs and managers to know our plans. If there was a way he could tell just the fans, and noone else would find out, then he’d be 100% truthful about evrything i’m sure!
yeah i agree stu, though malouda isn’t very good, that’s why he didn’t settle! players do take a little while to settle from france, but less so than most leagues imo
I havent made a team. I probably won either…too much effort.
A I like Wenger but he does tell porkies sometimes
Malouda got french player of the year before joining chavski.
no Stu! Arse.com is just a couple of people in their web team doing no different from what websites and the media do, listening to his press conferences and interviews, then creating stories based on the odd sentence here and there!
Not that much effort stu, took ten minutes max!
yeah i know he did, but i never rated him and still don’t. He’s efficient, but very limited actual talent.
A, anyting other than the truth is basically a lie.
Wenger may not lie all the time but he rarely tells the truth.
I dont rate him either but he is a great finisher for a winger imo.
everton supposedly after sendy
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/91885/-20m-City-bid-lands-Lescott/
Not putting it together A. That wouldnt be hard, its the following the team, updating it etc etc
that’s not true stu! Other way round! anything that isn’t a lie is the truth, you can tell the truth without teling the whole truth!
a lie is something that is factually incorrect, not just something that doesn’t tell the whole story….
6 mil Sendy’s worth at least 10… besides he’s not for sale! Bloody Scousers!!
Really wouldn’t want sendy to go to everton, he’s better than lescott anyways imo!
A
Saying we will sign 2 – 3 world class players and not doing it means it was probably a lie in the first place. Like saying all our transfers will be done before pre season starts. I hope that was a lie
stu
he said he would try keep the squad together but not once did promise that each and every player will stay he cant promis that no manager can he only stated that wants to keep thesquad together but if aplyer wants leave these there is nothing you do but try get best deal possible for the player,didnt fergi say he would never sell rinando but its players that have all the power now.thats why wenger never comes out and makes promises that cant keep he alwyas he will try bring players but never never ever ever ever comes out comes out states x amount of players are comming in and unless a player acually is signed contract with the club there not close to signing
gm he said he wanted them done by pre season, not that they will be
And a lot younger A… Sendy has the potential to make it.. but we need a strong DM to support the whole team 1st and Viera might be our only option but he’s a leader so imo it’s a win win situation if he re-signs!
Wenger wont be foriven for signing an utter waste of space in Shitvestre,if he doesnt sign any more players this season.
i don’t think it’s possible to say “we will sign 2 or 3 world class players”, the best you can say is “we will try to…” because you can’t make statements about the ffuture when things are out of your control, and there are very few times when wenger categorically states something like that, he always leaves it open, because things could fail to go as planned, or situations could change, or he could just change him mind!
yo
red if vieira signs he’ll start very few games, denilson or song will still start ahead of him if we’re playing 1 dm, they’ll have to! I’d like us to sign him, but dunno how the fans would react, hope they wouldn’t expect the vieira of old
sendy to everton you say i will drive him there myself
the way i look at the whole vieira thing is he would be good to come on a and help see the game out if we are winning and the game is close
Yeah true A.. but he would be an asset if signed up on a pay by play deal… the aura of the man would hopefully rub off on the younger players.. there’s none left now how actually have won the Prem so in a way he could inspire some of those boys to become men!
song wouls start ahead of him and vieira will come on instead of denilson
BBK… can’t you find it in your heart to give Senderos one last chance.. after all this is last chance saloon time!!
maybe vieira could be our new centre back?!
nope
maybe vieira could be our new goalkeeper
wenger is most cursious manager i have ever come across whenit tranfers most manger state there looking players in such and such position but not wenger never,when wengerstated last season ade was going nowere you ade was staying because wenger never ever makes promisses he cant keep,now when wenger staed that he hoped ade stays ii new there was fear chance he was going,as for toure we all new that either gallas/toure was going,evon you stu cant tell me that your shedding any tears over ade leaving
Aw that’s pretty heartless BBK… Tony Adams was once labelled a donkey and look how he turned out! Experience benefits central defenders and they ultimately bloom around their mid twenties.. good until their early 30′s unless exceptional classy!
Sendy will soon come of age
Actually i am Leon….Tears of joy tho.
Im not upset in the least that ade went. The squad wasnt kept together tho…thats all im pointing out. Im not saying its a bad thing tho.
maybe at another club he will but not at arsenal,
Senderos should be starting for us now imo. If Gallas didnt join or Wenger had the balls to drop Toure then Senderos would have been s regular for us over the last few years and im positive we would have won a trophy or two. BBK dont say a word…coz your wrong!
Hmm he could still yet mature like a fine wine! Depends on the team to support him and his own self-assurance… could be off soon so which ever way the player is young and it would be a shame to see him go because I don’t think we have seen the best of him yet! Time will tell
stu how long have you been a fan of the error prone player?????
after all stu, it is proven that we concede less goals when he’s in the team!
Haha.. will leave you 2 to agree to disagree… otherwise could be a long nite.. laters fellas
it’s also proven when he’s in the team we lose final’s and semi finals
laters r.b
Hello everyone i’m breaking this to you as a reliable source, i had the opportunity to sneak into Arsene office and you know what i found a great great information about… about… hum …. Tomorrow line up everybody…
Almunia
Sagna vermy Gallas clichy Rosicky Fabregas song Arshavin
Eduardo Van persie
i just uncovered Wenger’s top secret that is the top secret.
Exactly A
BBk, is that so? Because i seem to recall him being in the team when we won the FA cup final and not being in the team when we lost the CL final (even tho he helped us get there).
BBK you’d want to get your facts straight
stu
i suspected toure was going since feb but once vern came ,i thought senderos or silvest would go,and i am bid sad he went but the truth is he wanted garanteed first team football,plus gallas,and i thinkit just went stale for him he needed a change not so much the money,i also think senderos is going but i think him and song are good squad players,but silvest as asquad player that scers me
Night Red.
so hang on bbk – we won one final with him playing very well in it, the last piece of silverware we won, and we got the furthest the club has ever gotten in its history in the champions league with him in it!
carling cup final lost liverpool semi lost
if he was that good why didin’t he play in the final then
He didnt play in the final because Wenger has his favourites. Same reason FLamini got dropped for the cunt.
And the CC final. I would point out that Traore ruined our chances in that final by playing Drogshit onside (cant remember the other goal tho).
Its odd how our left backs screwed us in 2 finals. Cole in the CL final and Traore for that goal i just mentioned in the CC final.
stu also in the goals per game, i didn’t do the champs league, and considering that run it would be very impressive in all comps.
In fact BBK, it was on Campbell/Coles side that the CL winner came from. IMO If Senderos and Flamini played that night there would have been a nicer outcome.
Anyone disagree?
He didnt play in the final because Wenger has his favourites. Same reason FLamini got dropped for the cunt.
And the CC final. I would point out that Traore ruined our chances in that final by playing Drogshit onside (cant remember the other goal tho<<<<<<yeah typical
Yes A, that would certainly make the record better imo. That run and he has some amazing games in the CL for us. Milan away and Bayern at home spring to mind.
Whats typcial about that? I suppose you remember everything perfectly?
Oh wait…only the bad stuff…right
Guys what time is the game tomorrow?
And on Sunday as well?
right stu
i am out night everyone
Night leon….
I wouldn’t mind if Senderos stayed, but he always had a slow turning radius and made crucial mistakes that cost the team. Although that is really the nature of the position, GK and CB are the two most unforgiving no doubt and there is no CB who has never made a mistake which has cost the team. Vidic looked very average vs. Torres, Terry is an overrated foul machine so if Senderos stays as a back up and we play him in CC/FA/odd league game that’s fine by me. What puzzling though is he never really made it at Milan, I thought he would find a good home there and make a name for himself. Shame for him.
He broke a toe at Milan and thus never got a run of games until towards the end of the season. And by then it was too late to convince Milan he was worth keeping.
And they got Onyewy on a free so im not shocked they didnt want Senderos as he would have cost them.
What puzzling though is he never really made it at Milan, I thought he would find a good home there and make a name for himself. Shame for him.Doesn’t that tell you something?as for vidic looking average in that game,he’s just won the league and the year before that won the double so i do think he will be losing much sleep over that one
Well Stu has an answer to my question bbk so I guess look above. I would have still thought milan would have seen enough of him to keep him, he seemed ideal to me in their setup. Also, we are rating a mistake in a match BBK, it is hardly all Sendy’s fault we did not win anything when he was with us nor can Vidic be given all the credit for Manure winning trophies. My point was all CBs will make glaring mistakes at times, and that is a fact no matter how you cut it.
Trust me am not a big Sendy fan, but as a backup I am willing to keep him if we must.
Onyewu is pretty similar to Senderos so I can see that reasoning of getting him on a free. He is a big slow lump that will make the occasional glaring mistake but for the most part is willing to get stuck in and give it his all.
.
Of the six remaining Arsenal centre-halves, you can write off four. Mikael Silvestre is past it, Philippe Senderos never had it while Johan Djourou is not so much an accident waiting to happen as one that has already taken place. Alex Song is a midfield player who fills in at centre-half in emergency.
This leaves Vermaelen and William Gallas. An injury to either and the Gunners are right back in the cart.
Of Vermaelen, one Ajax regular said: “He’s an intelligent, dedicated footballer. The main concern is he continues to make the same sort of mistakes he made when he first came into the side five years ago.”
Sounds like the identikit of the modern Arsenal centre-half…….the writing is on the wall.
sounds correct to me
Who wrote that BBK?
I would agree with all of it except the Senderos part (obviously). He hasnt “never had it”. He was once a great defender when he first broke into the team. SO good so that he got the name swiss Tony and he cemented a place in the swiss defence and quickly established himself there.
Senderos is a lot better than Hangelannd so its funny people are so fucking obsessed with Hangeland.
I also believe Wenger will be scouting some players at the Emirates cup, particularly Sakho, Hoarou, and the young Spanish CDM that plays for Atletico(Camacho I think).
WEren’t we after Chantome as well from PSG last year. I remember being linked to him and Coquelin and we got Coquelin but missed out on Chantome. I don’t know about Sendy better then Hangeland Pat. I can’t hardly see Hangeland put a foot wrong in the games I have seen. He is very assured and positionally much stronger then Sendy imo. He makes a lot of interceptions as well and reads the game better then Phil imo.
*can
Plus I know the point of Fulham beig defensive will come up now, whichever way you want to frame the argument though, the leading CB of any team however they play gets a lot of credit for having clean sheets and a good defensive record, and Cottagers definitely had that last term.
lazer it’s because hangeland doesn’t have to have any positional sense, as fulham play so deep and defensively that he can’t get dragged out of position! Same with interceptions, it’s easy for him, because all the play happens in front of him, it’s impossible to get in behind him because he’s rarely further forward than his own box! In our team with a high line Hangeland would struggle, just as in Fulham’s team with an incredibly deep line, Senderos would excel imo
He also plays a lot deeper than Sendy LAzer. Fulham play sich a deep defence that there isnt much space thus Hangeland would have to defend less space and look better than Senderos who would have the whole of our half to defend.
i agree about scouting lazer, though i think the ship has sailed with sakho unfortunately, as we’ve now got vermaelen who’s left footed i can’t see us bringing in another young left footed centre back as they wouldn’t be able to play together.
why chantome – did you not hear apparently matuidi sigged earlier but just being kept quiet til monday….
I anticipated that one fellas. I know you have your point and I see it as well. Essentially it means then there is no traditional CB that would work in our setup is what you are telling me. So basically we need a guy who is 6’2, fast as Gallas or Toure in his prime, can head the ball and get stuck in and has positional sense like Adams. Since an ideal CB like that would be virtually impossible to find we must then make do with Gallas and Vermaelen as a pairing who we know will be weak from set plays. I don’t think this obsession with a highline is effective then if it exposes the defense so much. Maybe if we had a big beast sitting back a bit it would help, like a Ferdinand.
LAzer, Ferdinand isnt a beast. He is big but not the ball winner. Vidic is that defender while Ferdinand is the sweeper who uses the ball better. Its just a coincidence that he is very big too.
I wouldnt be too bothered if our defence dropped about 10 yards deeper because the last 4 years have shown that the highline doesnt bring success. But if we did that then the whole attacking system and such would have to be changed as well and theres no point starting all that all over again.
Yeah I saw the news A, was just mentioning we had looked at Chantome last term. So who else could Wenger be scouting from the visiting teams?
And going back to the Sendy bit, if that is the case, that basically Wenger has decided we need 2 sweepers not a CB and a sweeper or two CBs then Sendy needs to be moved on and we need another modern time Sakho-ish defender that has pace AND power.
I dunno Lazer, the high line isn’t because it’s a way we think will be defensively strong, it’s because it’s necessary for our whole game, the attacking play. The whole team plays really high up the pitch, so we can move the ball quickly and hit the opposition fast when we get the ball, rather than starting off deeper, so that they always get a chance to get back into position before we attack.
I think Vermaelen will be very strong in the air, and it’ll be interesting who (if anyone) we sign defensively. Is this subotic fellow fast?
I just feel pretty worried about throwing a new recruit into the deep end with Gallas as his partner and expect too much. I think even Arshavin echoed that concern. Vermaelen might be good, and kick on, but he will have growing pains no doubt.
I think Wenger shouldnt take the defensive side of football so lightly tho. I know arsenal are all about atacking football bla bla bla but even Wenger has to see that our last 2 trophies and our CL final season were because of the defence.
(FA cuo 0-0 amazing defence, prem 04 best defence, CL best defence).
Attacking gets the plaudits and looks the best etc but without a solid defence you win fuck all.
Yeah I understand the highline concept, and it does make a difference in possession play no doubt. Barca had Marquez, Puyol, Pique as top three CBs last term and they are all a bit more mobile then your average CB in England. (as a side note, Puyol is an absolute cunt and I can’t stand his game). That’s why I can see Song as a longterm solution in our system. He is not the most mobile, but more so then a big lump, and does not have the best passing but more so then your average CB. Plus the more he plays at DM it will actually help if he settles at the back longterm imo.
I always find it the same in every team game normally, “defense wins championships/trophies.” And Wenger neglected that far too much in the past few years, lets hope he sets that aspect of the team right at least this time around.
Puyol and Marquezs time at Barca is almost up imo. They need youth and oace at the back and both of them are the wrong side of 30. Puyol so much so that the prefered him at right back in the CL final even tho it meant Yaya in defence.
I know it worked for them but still. If he was that good in the middle they wouldnt have moved him to the right, regardless of his versatility.
Just checked on wiki. It says Puyols positions in his career have gone like this:
Keeper – striker – defensive midfielder – right back – central defender.
He has moved around quite a lot.
All I want to say is Le Gaffer had better be about to buy. For those who live by the saying “In Arsene We Trust”(an American style motto), well if he doesn’t purchase with the newly found funds, all that trust could be out the door coz he will have been spinning a big load of bollox just to keep the fans @ bay about “no funds” stops him from buying
Well here is a old British Bulldog motto with relation to the state of affairs 1/8/09. If Le Prof don’t buy this will have to be the catch cry if we are to win The League “Never was so much owed by so many to so few” Coz The Arsenal are about to enter their own Battle of Britain. Hows that for a history lesson Geoff
American style motto?? where do you get that from GG…they hang a bloody banner of it at the emirates and I hardly think those are americans there. Plus here is the real banner we should have hanging…

If the “in wenger we trust” banner is up tomorrow one f us grovers going should tear it down or add a “?”.
Anyone see the last press conf?? God sometimes it is so easy to hate Wenger and his web but boy does he spin it effectively. He was class in the press conf and pretty much refuted every point effectively. The bit about Manure not beating a single top four club or beating a top ten club once but having 16 wins at home was a valid point. I guess it is all about how you frame the argument, Arsene is the absolute best at that, we had a post on here about that subject little while back.
No stu – every player and wenger should have their name sung as loud as possible and every type of banner supporting them up high!
Yeah i watched it earlier lazer, he is very good in those situations, witty too.
Wenger’s reaction when asked about the reception ade and kolo will get made me laugh, he couldn’t help smiling, he knows ade will get booed! Also the naismith and scottish players questions
One thing that wasn’t asked in the press conference was whether vela will feature over the weekend – i’m guessing probably not, though you never know.
A, im all for supporting the team. But we shouldnt have banners that suggest we are happy with the current situation. We arent in meltdown or some shit like that but going without trophies is a failure at a club your size and to be anything other than un happy with it is unacceptable imo.
And Ade wont be booed, everyone of his touched will be laughed at.
Probably not am assuming, would like to see Vela though but Wenger hardly ever rushes players after internationals You know A, I wish more would just buck up and pay the 4.99 a month, atleast that way nothing is lost in translation and you get it straight from the horses mouth, no interpretation needed. The Naismith comment was class, haha, he looks to the side and says “who?” haha and then tells the scottish bloke its his fault they haven’t trialed more Scots for Arsenal.
Yeah but we should want to actually have good fans, fans can genuinly make a difference, lift the players. Players won’t respond by people showing they aren’t happy with the situation. When the team and situation is at it’s very worst is when the fans should be the loudest.
I felt sorry for poor Bacary though, fellow looked quite nervous sitting next to Wenger.
So is matuidi coming?
Yeah lazer, most fans whine like anything, but won’t pay the 3.99 a month, as they’re much happier believing the way the media twist wenger’s words so you never actually hear what he said, but just the media’s deliberate misinterpretation of it. It suits alot of people much better because then they can talk about Wenger lying, and various other things that it gives them a chance to attack Wenger and the club.
I wouldn’t mind as much if it was just an ignorance because of having no way to actually listen to things from the horses mouth and hear the actual truth, but it’s the fact fans are really opinionated, and don’t give a shit about hearing the actual truth, even though they have the chance.
Has Arsene changed the age bracket to recruit players?
AA is above 25yo and so is TV. Those linked with us so far are Chamakh, De Rossi are all in that bracket.
Just a thought though.
A, im all for getting behind the team. Cheering as loud as possible for as long as possible etc etc but when Wengers sees signs like those he must think everyone feels the same and are happy to wait until things finally work out. I just dont like that.
Ha yeah he did Lazer, it felt like Wenger was an English teacher, and he was just testing Bacary’s English.
Stu – Wenger’s whole life is the football club, he lives and strives for success and cares as much as any fan, he’s already doing everything in his power to be as successful as possible, no banner is going to make him try harder or less hard to succeed.
Just Stick it in vermaelen is 23
Vermaelen isnt 25, he is still only 23.
Stu in all honesty I think Wenger is a bit beyond that at this point. I think perhaps he may be deluded from our perspective but definitely wears blinders on in regards to the opinion around him. That is maybe a bad trait but as a manager you have to have a thick skin. Fergie is similar in that way as well, so is fat Rafa and Mourhino and others. Gene Hackmen on the other hand came under pressure from fans and the media and is coaching in friggin Uzbekistan or something now.
But you see my point.
If things are going badly, worse than in a long time and someone sayd they have faith in you and your ideas then it will make you feel that what your doing is working.
Wengers plan is likely to work, theres only 1 more year of this if it doesnt work. But if he thinks we are happy to wait then he has it wrong imo. Patience is one thing but 4 years with nothing is hard to take.
Ya I know what you are talking about A. If I had to write a post for the grove it would focus on us, a bit like man in the mirror-ish. Sometimes I will read things on blogs including this one and there was a time it was a shocker to see opinions formed based on pure conjecture or misinterpretation or just the lemmings effect but am pretty de-sensitized to it now. People will always have there own personal twists on everything, its the nature of the fan I suppose.
Yeah true LAzer. But Wenger will see the good and maybe not the bad…until the meeting with the shareholders.
Like the opposite to BBK and Jimbo who only see the negative.
No i disagree Stu.
Wenger will feel like it’s working depending on the performances on the pitch, and only performances on the pitch.
The fans wouldn’t and shouldn’t affect his opinions about whether what he’s doing is working, or any football related decisions, even 0.0001%, and I don’t think they ever would be able to. If any manager did have any decisions influenced by the fans, then they aren’t strong enough to be a manager.
Ya I agree with you Stu. I think A is a very unique, loyal, and honorable fan but not AKB-ish. There are not many like that and for the most part if the fans have been so patient they definitely have a right to make there emotions felt now. But I think there was a fair bit of that last term, the booing of pinky and eboue comes to mind as well as constant groans and moans when we would lose the ball or have a bad spell in a home game. Plus add the now infamous spat with Wenger I think the message was pretty loud and clear (atleast I hope so).
Well if the banners dont affect him or the then why are they there?
Anyway, im moving on because you arent budging on this!
Yeah Lazer, but it saddens me that the media come out with bullshit, completely twisting a quote, and the fans are outraged, but then it’s revealed the actual truth, but half those fans stay outraged, and just ignore the real situation.
I genuinly couldn’t believe it when I transcribed the Q & A word for word, and people still went on and on about Wenger this and Wenger that, when the truth was right in front of them. Even when you explain to them the truth, and show them the exact bit that the story was taken from, and how it was misinterpreted, they choose to just ignore it.
I genuinly couldn’t believe it with the Q & A, and I know it isn’t that so many are too stupid to think rationally, but they just choose not to, I’m not sure why. Surely they can’t like being pissed off about things?! Or maybe it’s a good way to release negative energy.
I think the most fans can do is perhaps not tell the manager what is wrong or right specifically or insult a particular player (I mean they can but he should not listen if a good manager imo), but tell him they are displeased. That is a definite right A, I think you will agree. And I think the fans did that adequately last term. They need to convey the message we will not blindly follow you off a cliff and you need to properly earn our hard earned wages.
They will affect him as in make him feel lifted or not Stu. Fans can make someone feel good, or feel shit, but no manager would ever be so weak as to let that have one iota of an impact on any decision he made. Wenger is going to make every decision based on what he feels is best for the club, and what the club needs. All the fans can achieve is lifting him, and the team, or bring him and the team down, and having a negative impact on everyone connected to the club, which is what happened at times last season.
I dunno A, am with you there man. Like I said am pretty de-sensitized to it now. I just let most have there opinions as they are entitled. Sometimes the funniest comments on here are during games. I try and stay away cause I want to jump in and start typing but then I would miss the game which say 5000 times more precious. Its remarkable how we will pick apart even the slightest error yet would not even think that it would occur in the best side in the world as well. i guess Arsene has made us all perfectionists in a way. I wonder how a Stoke fan, or a Fulham fan sees us. Probably as ungrateful bastards whining about the slightest things.
I disagree Lazer. No player is ever going to be picked or not picked, or bought or sold, depending on the fans.
At home the fans should always support the team 100%, unless things are going really shit so the manager needs to be sacked.
If that isn’t the case, then the fans need to support absolutely every decision, and every player, in every game, to give us the best chance of winning games.
Last season it became a negative playing in front of our own fans, and that’s a really sad state of affairs, and a really sad representation of the quality of our support imo. When our fans become a negative rather than a positive, and we’re more likely to perform away from home because of it, things have gone very wrong.
Things are far from perfect at the club at the moment, but in terms of my anger towards sections of the club, i’m not angry in the slightest at any of the remaining players, nor wenger, because i know that even though they don’t perform at times, and Wenger makes decisions that I disagree with, they’re doing it all because they’re trying 100% to do what is best for the club. Large sections of the fans are damaging our chances of succeeding, and aren’t acting in the best interests of the club, and that makes me very angry, and sad at the same time.
I agree with Stu on the banners though. It is good to trust your manager, after all what else can you do, but banners convey a message and say a banner said we want a trophy and you need to stop the rot instead of just in arsene we trust it would be a glaring statement by a dissatisfied fan.
Shizen didn’t realise the time, I’ve gotta be off.
Been nice chatting lazer/stu, take care!
Yeah but Lazer Wenger is one of us, wenger wants trophies, wenger wants to stop the rot. We should have the mentality that we’re all in it together, but instead a large number of fans who desperately need to find someone to blame turn on the manager, and there is no way anything positive can come from that.
Anyways, nite people
For the most part we are on the same side of the debate A, fans need to be supportive but where we disagree is that it can only be up to a degree. I understand your point of creating an atmosphere but fans are human after all and will react to what is happening on the pitch no matter what. To expect everyone to show up with blinding support after showing patience for a long time is too much to ask imo.
nite A. good debating as usual.
right that’s my cue Stubin..am off. laters fella.
Both off at once huh. Night A and LAzer…………..
LAzer
In God We Trust, isn’t that American?
Aussie Grovers, how are we all?
I wish we’d just sign someone alraedy… or 2 signings. has wenger ever signed 2 people in the same day? lol
Sorry guys, tried to work up a theory there on the recruitment policy. My bad.
I read someone said that we can’t play two left-footed CBs together. Um, if we play two right-footed Cbs then why can’t we?
when is the new post geoff?
Arsene Wenger last night opened the door for Patrick Vieira to make an emotional return to Arsenal.
Wenger is thinking of resigning Vieira on a free transfer from Inter Milan on a pay-as-youplay deal, as revealed in Mirror Sport.
Vieira wants to come back to the Premier League to secure a place in the France World Cup squad and Wenger is ready to offer him a short-term contract with maybe a coaching position in the future.
Wenger admitted he still speaks to Vieira regularly and the 33-year-old veteran could bring some much-needed experience to his young squad.
Wenger said: “I am aware that he wants to come here. Patrick is a legend here and he would always like to come back. That would be his first choice.
“There is a football decision and there is a psychological impact on a player of that stature that could come in.
CDM would be solved, for the short term. Now get Huntelaar & then look out, here we come. Just tese simple deals with money in bank would make all the difference to fighting for glory as against fighting to holding ground. Just Do it!!!
Zak new post is at 9, Gnarley you will like it!
Pedro, interesting Joel should ask that question last night, he’s the same sort of twat that says ‘ you wouldn’t say that to his face, would you?’
They obviously don’t know me do they!
I’ve changed my mind, we don’t need any replacements to be bought in! Wenger just said they squad have been working hard and that we have stability because the team hasn’t changed! That’s fine then!
And my real take on it is that Wenger is being a prize cunt yet again! The squad are working hard? I should fucking hope so! Were they not working hard last season? Stability because the team hasn’t changed? You’ve just sold a starting striker and starting centre back!! HOW AINT IT CHANGED?
And as for the prick saying balance is the most important thing to have in the team….well…you don’t have a defender that can head the fucking ball you twat so how balanced is that if we can only compete on the floor!!
Wenger is a cunt. End of. He’ll be an even bigger cunt if he signs Chamakh because that kid is not better than Bendtner and Vela? And is Wenger against player killing? Fucking hypocrite!
Oh, morning all!
http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/08/01/1415668/claude-makelele-tips-inters-patrick-vieira-for-arsenal
TAIG..I think wenger will spend and make the right signings.
Tony I think Numchucks could be good in our team, much the same as Vela and Bendtner.
I think he may ignite like Henry did. I agree with most of the rest though, especially the bit about training hard!
He might bring in chamakh.That might be a mistake.But other positions i think he will find the right players
new post!
what is the time?
We are now probably in the most critical few weeks in Arsenal recent history. Why? If arsene does NOT buy a DF midfielder AND a 6ft plus CBack and we then lose to Celtic, well I would not like to be in Arsene’s shoes. the calls for his sacking will be horrendous. I will NOT be one of those calling for this as I believe he is a fantastic Manager and have full confidence in him.
He is however the most stubborn manager in football. His board have said he has the funds. Patrick V. is available for pennies, and also has the $40 million in transfer fees he can buy .
Sorry Arsene, I think your great but if you do not buy then I will not be sorry for you and the amount of calls for your sacking as you will have brought them upon yourself. Unfortunately I get the feeling you will not buy !
