First of all Nikki B signed a new and improved contract that sees him earning the same money that almost resulted in Cashley crashing his Bentley into a tree, £50k a week. Poor sod, I hope he’s okay!
Although it’s only 2 games in, it’s clear to see that with Ade gone, Bendtner is a different player, Gallas too though, so when Billy was talking about the lack of respect from a brash 25 year old last season, it was obvious now he was talking about Adebayor and not Robin.
Although it seems that some have stepped up this year, I was trying to work out what the difference is with our game, suddenly the ball is finding the net rather than missing, is it the formation? Is it the team are growing together?
Well 4-3-3 is certainly better than 4-5-1 that’s for sure, the team has started another season together and of course that will help, we have lost a trouble maker and a player that had lost his form, so that too helps, but for me the biggest difference is we are finally pressing and harrowing the opposition, we are chasing lost causes and hitting players hard, this is what we’ve been lacking and that is why we have been getting bullied by shit teams, Celtic tried it but we were having none of it.
As for the deflected goals, I think we would have scored from both of them had they not been deflected anyway. Deco had one the same night and no one said a word, Fat Frank and bar room yobbo Gerrard must have a dozen deflected shots go in every season, but no one says a word, screw them, we won, we dominated and we are now all but through.
Stuff Pompey on Saturday and we’ll be back on top for a day, the Mancs lost to Burnley last night which means that two of the top four have already lost, which is great news for us, I think we could have a great month and that’s without Rosicky, Theo and Nasri, if we signed 3 more players now we could really do something this season.
We have the money, come on Arsenal, lets consolidate, buy Van der Vart or Matuidi, get Numbchucks in and buy a big centreback.
Have a great day Grovers only 37 games to go!
Maybe he will play some of the younger generation on Saturday. I expect to see Wilshere, Ramsey and Merida in the starting line up. Throw in Eduardo, Diaby, Eboue and Traore and we could see up to seven changes from the team that played Celtic.
On the other hand, he might decide that he wants the starting XI to gel well before the two Manchester gamnes, so don’t mess with anything.
Plus RvP needs to get some goals, so he should play.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is ready to make a £10m offer for Real Madrid’s Dutch midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.
I thought rafa only had £2m left for transfers…
I reckon there’ll be changes, but nowhere near as many as 7 PDT. Traore and Eboue won’t play, it’ll be the same back 5. 2/3 changes perhaps. I reckon Ramsey or Diaby, and Wilshere or Eduardo
I must say there haven’t been many heated debates since the 2 wins. So if arsenal have an undefeated season will that be the end of blogland?
A , im afraid it will be diaby i can’t see rambo starting the game but i’m really lookin forward to see dudu in the starting eleven
I reckon, usual back five.
————-Denilson/Song–Cesc
Wilshere/Eduardo–Diaby/Ramsey–Arshavin/Bendtner
———————–VP
If Cesc is hurting from the battering he got on Tuesday maybe he could have a rest actually, so both of Denilson and Song play, or maybe both Ramsey and Diaby, or maybe even Arshavin dropping in centrally.
What does everyone make of this Balazs Dzsudzsak link? Anyone think it’s true? anyone ever seen him play?
Something i said?
Bill, i saw him play at the weekend against Ajax. He was amazing. Scored 2, 1 a cracking free kick, and set up another in a 4-3 win. But that was the only time i’ve ever seen him.
Oh nice. What kind of player is he? Typical quick Arsenal player?
I wouldn’t normally raise an eyebrow, but the story i was reading had him quoted as saying
“I understand Arsenal have made a formal offer for me”
I’m paraphrasing there, but it was something like that.
He is a pacey winger that runs at players…not a wenger type player really but he looked like a quality player. I would be happy if we bought him..after a few defensive players of course.
That was a terrible challenge by rooney yesterday.Why does he keep getting away with it.I know he is english and everything but there is a fucking limit
What did he do Nish?
Nishanth. Rooney is allowed to do what he wants. How dare you question him?
Seriously…i cant find it. Got a link for a video?
Stu. High footed challenge. Typical Rooney throwing a tantrum type stuff
A nasty tackle STU.Really high the kind that should be a straight red
Oh dear, that’s a terrible challenge by Rooney on Mears! And he rightly goes into the book. How it was described
Thats because Rooney is a little bitch and when things arent going his way he throws a fit and tries to break someones leg. But its ok because its just passion, right?
Does anybody know what film sky sports news new theme tune is from ?,its buggin the shit outa me
That’s right Stu. It’s not throwing a fit. It’s an impassioned expression of his winning mentality and Englishness…. English spine blah blah blah …. Pride and passion …. Blah blah …. Three lions yada yada yada
bk. I hadn’t noticed they were using a new one. Aren’t they stilll using the one from ‘Requiem for a dream’?
And people wonder why english players never get to play abroad. Its because of players like Rooney doing shit like that and acting like a general cunt.
That one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Ma4BvMUwU
Rooney and Terry.Both these cunts get away with everything.Also carragher.Not as nasty as these 2 but he always gets away with fouls
African players all dive. Gerrard accidentally falls over
Rooney is a pikey cunt who should be living in a caravan
Seriously…someone have got to have a clip of the tackle. Its not showing up on google. All they have is something about Burnleys old dressing rooms and the united players being gay.
Hard players dont dive…they just let the ref know there has been contact.
gerrard batters people in self defence (when he’s got 6 mates with him)
and gerrard is one of the biggest cheats,what he did in the champions leauge and not a word about it
What thing did he do in te CL. I can guess but there are so many its not likely i will get it.
Precisely Stu. That’s why you need an ‘English spine’ because they are more spirited and have more heart than Johnny Foreigner, they have that Dunkirk spirit.. Even during a Blitz they will be singing.. They’ll fight on the beaches, in the playgroun…….. Critical error… British commentary bit malfunctioning….
wont play bill,cheers anyway.but its on tv,aagh
the time he jumped into the player and went down like he jumped into him.pure anfeild pen,you know the type!
Maybe this one will play bk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmijKjosplM&feature=PlayList&p=F5AEF17422D1CA89&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=4
fack me is there nothing going on in the transfer market at all??
I remember that gerrard one
Can’t find the tackle stu
thats last years,sorry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4iG6ZBFzQ&feature=related
Oh. Didn’t even notice they changed it.
That video is everything what rooney has been doing for some 5 years now when things are not going his way.
See just look at Rooney’s winning mentality
A great warrior indeed
very very sneaky hey nis.and they really needed it like they needed the one against us
I still dont remember that Gerrard thing ye are referring to.
Or maybe i do…but only ever so vaguely(sp). Who was it against?
I seem to be remembering a controvertial penalty award at anfield against Atletico? Dont remember it well tho.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GKXAKQY-0Y
hope walcott has a blinding world cup then the media,fa referees mite cut us some slack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwfgbHOZHE0
The one against andorra is fucking pathetic.I remember one ronaldo dive.Against derby county when they were 3-1 up and he didn’t let tevez take the penalty.That was terrible
it was against some foreingers so they deserved it.ha ha
i fucking Hate Steve-G.. his a cheating wank stain
ffs the you tube links arent working
raif. Careful what you say about him, he might just call up his mates, turn up at your house, and defend himself
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHZE-VtoHk4
http://rapidshare.com/files/211055940/beIn12.part01.rar
I hope he ends up not winning a league title with liveprool.I am sure if they by chance finish outside the top 4 that cunt will leave liverpool
Honest Bill
HAHAHAHA.. ill be waiting for him. ill like to see him dive after he gets a Bat to the Legs. or Face
and who thinks that assualt wasnt self defence.for fuck sake even the law is behind him
After seeing those videos i want to hit someone. Lets hope noone comes to my house looking for some monies….
… because i will politely say i have no change and quitely close the door after they have left. 
BK.. the problem was everyone in that court was a liverpool fan.
if he had done anything like this in London i bet you he would have done some time or at least comunity service.
as the jury would have been london club supporters well more chance at least
I thought the offence was up in newcastle? So shouldnt he have been tried there instead of liverpool?
raif,hes still an england superstar.if it was masserano he would of been in the shit
I assume they were too busy with joey barton
Mascherano probably would have been publically hung…or is it hanged? I never know which it is.
Remember when he got sent off for asking “whats happening”
Stu. It’s hanged.. Which is stupid. It should clearly be hung
bolt
Yeah its really stupid isnt it. Its like saying “i singed a song”.
WORLD RECORD in 19.19!!!!!!!!!!!
lethal
and theres more to come.unless he goes to the party
i know alot fans want see a big beast in defence but i like vern although he may not be as tall as people like he reads the game so well and is clearly has alot athority than toure and looks to be alot more agressive,what is also clear is that silvest will stay but i think wenger will only use him in carling cup games and rest gallas/vern, and there is a distict chance that senderos will stay.song well what can i say he has been putting very performances since last season will wenger get another midfielder i dought it,i think wenger will get a defender but senderos situation still up in air. still early days but 433 suites the team alot more
Watz going on
Casta S, bears a close resemblance to one of our ex forwards. Guess who?
Geoff?
Pedro?
Jumbo,Wardo,A,Ethan,Franchise?
Kelsey,TAIG,PDT,man,Mayak?
Stu,Leon,BBK anybody heeeeeeelp
ok
Gone
Trickyspud maybe
illuminati /
you alright??
You are trapped inside the internet… Nobody can hear you scream
Raif,Honest Bill,Raddy,London,David,Nik,Nishanth,Blazon,Gambon,KM in wales
Bye
Thanx HB & Raif
Gotta go though.check my 20.49 though
Hello! Guys, I’ve heard, we have been watching Taylor from Newcastle. I think, he would have been great as a cover defender. What do You think?
Bye Illuminati
Where are you going?
better off starting a game with ten men than playing steven taylor.
No thanks, he’s shit. His positional sense is awful, the amount of times he played opposing strikers onside last season as the man not holding the line was ridiculous.
That’s the rewarding thing about depression, just when you think you can’t get any lower along comes a link to Steven Taylor.
Thanks Illuminati. I see You don’t rate him highly. I don’t think he is THAT bad, but of course You are entitled to Your own opinion. Best wishes.
Maciek, are you a man or a women? have you decided?
YOOOOOOOOOOO
whats facking going on
Gooner786. As I said yesterday, I’m a man. Trust me.
Maciek were you the guy runing in the womens 800 meter
Haahaha Terry. Nice one.LOL.
could`nt help it Maciek sorry
All in all, we have been resolute and have displayed good work ethic. HOWEVER, our strike force have really not clicked. Am scratching my head to know to get them firing! Will it be VP left, Bentner right, Arsh center.
Or maybe buy Villa. Sell Robin since he has never played more than 25 games in one season and our style just doesn’t suit him. Or play Theo up front and buy another attacking midfielder- Affely, Di Maria, or Pandev.
Buy Cetin or Juhasz as our 3rd choice cd, buy Matuidi or Cissoko from Toulouse as our cdm and we are ready to go. Just my thought.
Maciek,
Theo, will need to convince me from the right first b4 I put him upfront except for Carling cup. But he has competitors. csissoko failed a medical in Milan , so why would you want him?
Pass 1
dribble the 2nd
Judging from the various Celtic related blogs, etc since the 0-2 result, the hoop people are hurting really bad.
Well what they are going through is nothing, compared to losing the English Premier League 2 years ago to one player, coz the rest of manure were shit. But somehow I think all that he about to be rectified 2009/10, chamoneeeeeeeeee
*is
Blast the keeper. Goalllllllllllllllll!!
ahhh GG,
they wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the C.L anyhow , they will be far better off having a sizable run in the EUFA cup , than playing 3 home games in a Group stage which would be destined for a failed campaign , there just a bunch of whining haggis eating ####’s
Arsenal are doing them a favor !
playing against lesser sides will give them more to brag about anyhow ! they can build the delusion levels back up to max , ready for next seasons hiding
Celtic fans are just as delusional as Arsenal fans currently , we have higher attainable accolades in view Sure …, but how we can ignore the spuds – man shitty – plus all the top 4 regulars as a NON – Threat,that is dangerous , foolish and most importantly 1 eyed .
its like certain fans stating there top 6 finishers this season after just 1 game ..
and the spuds werent even in his top 6, everton was however
unless Everton buy seriously this season there is no way they will even finish top 7 ..
you have villa – spuds – man shitty and the top 4 all ahead of them how the fuck they will finish 3rd is beyond me !
one thing is for sure Pompey and there pink goal keeper kit will get relegated this season if that fat Arab doesn’t take over soon ..
interesting days ahead but one would be foolish to presume any player wont suit our style ! (A), especially after a season with Ade and co .
one thing is for sure we need at least 2 more 1st 11 players if we are to have a decent bite at all competitions this season ..
and SAF will buy … i bet you any money you like he will get a top class player ..
because he , unlike our mob realize he is a little short going forward .. benzema ? villa ?
you can bet your life it wont be Numchucks ..
Rafael Van Der Vaart Heeading To Arsenal !

you asked for 3 new signings you got them

Nice to see Arsenal FOOTBALL Club have got their priorities right again……
By JAMES LAWTON of the Irish Independent
Could it really be that Arsenal, the team mocked all the way to the start line, have put in place the most glorious ambush of a new season? One point at least is beyond argument. The first evidence could hardly be more stunning.
Their Champions League victory at Celtic Park earlier this week was maybe not a convulsion, the division in class was, after all, evident from a brief glimpse of the starting line-ups. But there was something about the formality of it that was remarkably striking. In front of their own people, Celtic do not normally shed their self-belief quite so profoundly.
Yet they had been operating under a very pressing incentive to abandon all hope.
It was that Arsenal, without ever touching the destructive brilliance with which they dismantled Everton on their own ground a few days earlier, were playing a different and vastly superior game.
And it goes on…………
Tom Fox – Chief Commercial Director (who will report directly to Ivan Gazidis)
Svenja Geissmar – Media Lawyer
Trevor Saving – Head of People & Operations
Sets the pulses racing don’t it? With that line up we’ll piss the league, and Europe must be fucking trembling!!
‘Head of People & Operations’ fecking hell….
Bang!
Minge!
These are the new people inchrage of flogging shirts overseas.
The 500,000,000 middle class in India need to own an Arsenal shirt, home & away, thats 1,000,000,000 shirt sales.
In the fucking onion bag mutha funglers……..hattus trickus….
DDM
its always been management 1st at this club it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest .
and im not buying all this we will win the title BS some delusional fans are crapping on about after beating celtic with an ass shot and an own goal , and decimating an our of touch Everton ,
sure great results yes … but given our stature the wins are to be expected ..
who would want to bet against us V’s those 2 teams .. currently you can add pompey and the hot pink david james to the list as there form is in the toilet also .. so the delusional BS will continue right up until the transfer window shut down then we will find all the fans looking gob smacked at each other then youve realized that for another season you bought into wenger bullshit again …
i have to say the team does look better without ade in it .. its more fluid and more chances are naturally being made as a result , but the quality is still not there in every area of the pitch and a good team will expose you !
Biggus Dickus!
Why would they buy an official Arsenal shirt, when they can buy a replica at one tenth of the cost….
incontinentia buttocks
1,000,000,000 1/10 of cost = $15,000,000,000 or 7,500,000,000 UK pounds.
…..The Arsenal could buy Manchester United & sell off the assets, i.e dismantle the club
Totally agree ethan……
GG
And it goes on…………
————————
it sure as fuck does , it will go on until the morning of sept 1st ..
We’ll get people calling us negative, i prefer to call it being realistic.
We are once again two, maybe three decent players away from a truly competitive team.
But, once again the team, fans indeed the club are being sacrificed for the sake of personal development.
Players like Song (for instance) should be brought into the first team when they are ready, not to be played in the first team to learn their trade. Surely that’s for loans deals and/or a proper reserve setup.
A replica that looks the business too
naughtious maximus
Sillious soddus …
Just recieved a letter offering me a club level seat for this season.
They are clearly struggling if they are offering seats a week into the season.
Maybe if the money was going somewhere other than property i would buy one, think about it Arsenal.
I wouldn’t say you are negative, nor ethan, I think you/the fans have been given too many false claims of how The Club is getting better, yet for 5 years no trophys have been won.
DDM
I just can’t decide if i think he’ll buy the 2\3 quality players we need.
On one hand he must must must see what we all do (and every football fan in the world does)
On the other…… he’s a stubborn fecker and i think our good start to the season may make him think we will be okay.
I just cant decide……..

new post!
Good suggestion that the middle class in India get Arsenal replica shirts from Gnarley, although from my last visit they seem to have fallen prey to the Mank affliction. If it’s any help I always espouse the gooner cause to all I meet from there – and on the way back there – so little by little hopefully the job will be done.
dennis 110% agree , quite frankly the fans depress me .. they might think i depress them but i hate the feeling of being constantly fucking let down for 4 years now ..
once we win a cup or finish in the top 2 again then ill lift my spirits to limbo land with the rest of em .,
at the moment im not buying into anything .lets play some real teams then we will see …
people quickly forget the Valencia game dont they ?!
i think wenger will get someone but it sure as shit wont be an earth shattering signing ..
and it had better be a DM , because whilst song is better he still fucked up as much as he impressed for me …
losing possession, always ending up on the deck. He hit the floor 3 times and people said he was stronger ?! how the fuck ????
if your stronger you dont end up on the floor EVER !you end up with the yellow card and the gratification of giving him the bruises , not the other way around .. thats a DM !
?
