What a disappointing result… we played so well in the first half… we dominated in midfield, created chances and played very well. Arshavin put us one up after firing a 25 yard screamer into the top left corner of the goal… I really didn’t feel like ManU were going to be able to rescue the game… they had nothing.
The second half starts up… Rooney gets played in… Almunia rushes out needlessly and the trap was set… Rooney started falling before he was touched, then he hit Almunia… penalty. Is that not deception? Is that not fooling the ref? Regardless of the contact, he conned the ref… he played for the foul… which is the same mindset Eduardo had the other night.
He stepped up, buried the penalty… 1-1.
The second incident came from a Giggs freekick. He fired the ball into the area, about 8 yards out… Diaby, unchallenged… headed it into our net.
1) What the hell was Diaby thinking about on any defensive level. Was he trying to head it back to Almunia… was he trying to head it out wide… did someone from the Old Trafford mind control department fire a brain jam at him? It was a ridiculous mistake and one that at this moment in time, feels unforgivable…. I thought we were best friends Abou?
2) What was Almunia doing? Is there a keeper in the Premiership who wouldn’t have come for that? Is there a keeper in the youth team that wouldn’t have come for that? What has happened to Almunia this season? He fucked up in Hungary, he fucked up at Pompey and today… he fucked up twice. These type of incidents should not be happening to a keeper supposedly in his prime. He cost us today… and now we have to wait two weeks to make amends.
What I want to know is this… is Arsene Wenger a man of precedent? 2 years ago he dropped Lehamann after his two clangers at Fulham and Blackburn. Two years on, Almunia has opened the season with 3 clangers, plus a fourth if you include his horror show in Hungary. Does Wenger have the guts to drop his Spaniard for the often erratic… but talented Fabianski? Well… it’s no more a risk than dropping a very good German international for an inexperienced Spaniard… who could have also been described as erratic.
As for the team… well, it’s all very well playing good solid football when you’re winning… but jeez… did we fall apart after we lost our goals. We could hardly string a pass together, I think I counted one shot… we were a complete shambles.
Another gripe I have…and I mean no disrespect to Bendtner here… but when you’re playing ManU… you may only get one chance… so why stick Bendtner on? Why not Eduardo… the Crozillian is skilful, creative and clinical. Why did it take until 80 minutes to get him on the pitch? Crazy if you ask me…
I’m not happy with Arshavin and his limited contributions today… I’m not happy with Diaby and how chronically useless he was and I wasn’t particularly enamoured with Denilson and his very sloppy game in the second half. Football is about how you react when the chips are down… and today, I felt we collapsed. As for ability… I think we are sorted. We dominated ManU for a majority of the game with Nasri, Cesc, Walcott and Rosicky out… my only problem was the lack of character we showed after we conceded. Where was the urgency, where was the drive…?
I was pleased with Song today, he performed admirably in the middle of the park. I thought his first half was very solid… but his passing dropped with the rest of the team after we started losing. Eboue played pretty well, his work rate was right up there with the best and he was at the heart of some tidy moves in the first half. The back 4 can’t really be faulted bar the full backs poor crossing.
In conclusion, the defeat hurts because we handed it to United. We pretty much dominated without Rosicky, Nasri and Cesc… which is very encouraging. Lady luck had clearly been taking Brown paper bags from the Glazers today… and it’s not often I will put games going against us down to luck. Still, lets not beat ourselves up over this… we’ve just dominated possession against Premier League winners / European Cup finalists. Next up will be Man City… another very important game. Hopefully by then we’ll have everyone to choose from bar Nasri… that really is exciting don’t you think?
Chin up Grovers, we’ll smash them at home!
Ratings
Almunia: Having a shocking opener to the season. If he were a pupil at school and I was his headmaster, I’d be on my second parent meeting of the term. I think it’s gone beyond the last chance saloon and he should be dropped. 4
Clichy: I thought he played well defensively, making some nice interceptions, keeping Valencia pretty quiet. His crossing was very weak though, you might as well not get in the box if you’re a striker. 6.5
Sagna: Did a very good job keeping the impressive Evra quiet… lost his rag a bit late on, but who wouldn’t if Mike Dean was reffing their game? A solid performance defensively, but when it comes to crossing it’s all a bit Sunday league. 7
Gallas: Continued to play well with the Verminator… but struggled towards the end when the midfield started to lose its shape and dicipline. He was also the man who was offside in the build up to RvP’s late disallowed goal. 6.5
Vermaelen: Everyone was looking to see how he would cope against top opposition and he didn’t disappoint. I thought he kept Rooney pretty quiet and did a good job over all in the middle with Gallas. 7
Denilson: I thought he had a reasonable first half, his passing was ok, he made some pretty good interceptions and helped Arsenal control the midfield. However, I was less than impressed with his second half contribution and his lack of pace really does get shown up against stronger opposition. His passing was very poor and his game went down hill very quickly. Watching Denilson under pressure is tough viewing… 6
Song: I thought he had a much stronger first half. Although he doesn’t always come out of a tackle with the ball like Vieira used to, he does enough to get in the way and make a nuisance of himself. He’s also started to read the game a lot better. However, he started making some rash mistakes when the pressure started to build… and asking him to be creative when you’re chasing a lead is like asking an accountant to write a bit of stand up… it’s just not going to happen. 7
Diaby: What a shocker this man had? The header was beyond a joke… you couldn’t put that down to anything other than being a retard. You wouldn’t expect that in a Sunday league…
‘Well, he is young and he probably didn’t realise that heading into his own goal was a silly thing to do…’
I’m sure we’ll be reading that on some websites today… but after trying to fathom what he was doing with my football team, we all decided that mistake was one of the most shocking own goals we’d ever seen. As for the rest of his game… inept isn’t the word. He was truly diabolical today… his touch was off, his speed of thought was that of a man who’d just come out of a 17 year coma and his threat to United was minimal. 4
Eboue: I actually thought he had another very solid game for us… he involved himself in a lot of the play offensively in the first half and he covered a lot of ground, burning up plenty of energy in the process. His dive was pathetic… if you’re going to make a cunt of yourself diving, at least get a penalty and at least dive well… what he did was embarrassing and led to fits of laughter where I was watching the game. 6.75
Arshavin: Plenty of people are saying that the Russians game is to do nothing then pop up with the goods… well, I have to disagree… he was a lot busier last season and had a lot more of the ball. He looked pretty disinterested, and bar the goal and a couple of half chances, he was anonymous. He did very well to dummy Fletcher, and the challenge was a stone wall penalty… but if we’d got the penalty… you have to cast doubts on whether Arsh would have been motivated enough to get his second. He’s got to pull his finger out and start imposing himself on games for longer than 5 minutes. 7
Robin: Not his best game for the club. His finishing was pretty poor today and due to his lack of confidence, he seems to playing with caution. Robin… start doing what you built your reputation on… banging it when the goal is in site. He takes an age to get a shot off and when he does, invariably it’s not on target or its a tame effort. He went close with a free kick that was tipped onto the bar, and Foster pulled off a fantastic save at point blank range in the second half to deny him… a goal is in order and pretty sharpish… he had one disallowed in the 95th minute which was unlucky. 6.75
Arsene Wenger: I don’t think there was too much I’d disagree with regarding the starting line up. If Eduardo was a fitness risk, I’ll accept that… and maybe Rambo is a year off starting against United. However, why Wenger chose to bring Bendtner on when we were chasing a game is beyond me? Surely you bring on your most clinical creative striker? Or perhaps you bring on your 18 year old super star in waiting who can create something out of nothing? It was a silly decision and had everyone baffled. If Eduardo wasn’t capable of more than ten minutes, then frankly… what was he doing on the bench? Wenger took far too long to make his subs… and when he did, they were the wrong ones. Fair play to his behaviour at the end of the game, he did a good job of mocking Mike Dean when he refused to go to the stands after being sent off for kicking and empty bottle at no one (go figure)… instead deciding to stand above the tunnel with the fans. That was pretty funny. 6.75
Mike Dean: What a piss poor performance from the referee. The most inept display I’ve seen in a long time… dishing out yellow cards for fun, missing handballs and tackles in the box that would make Vinnie Jones wince… it was a truly horrible day for the ref. 3
RVP has looked off form. I felt so bad when his free kick hit the post. And how did he manage not to score from arshavin’s cross after half time. YOU HAVE TO SCORE THOSE!!! I love Robin so much, but he has to get on form and quick. Everybody wants him to do well, he just really has to focus. I hope Wenger starts playing him on the right and arshavin or eddy central.
Mangoo agreed. We beat utd early last season and finished miles behind them… bbk- i dont rate our keepers either but id take fabianski to almunia.
Akinfeev is too short, the other keeper mentioned is too mexican.
rvp takes too much time on the ball..shifting to his left foot or right foot.. he can’t just smash it in.. i don’t blame him though.. he is not a CF.. he is SS..
or in a 4-3-3 should play on the right.
Who else then mangoo. They both are confident and commanding, and have quick reactions. More than i can say for our spanish waitor.
luke agree about the points thing.. but there is an emotional difference between beating pompey and man utd.. would’ve shut up the manc cunts for a while
We were robbed, end of. Ref was a feckin homer, the better team lost and even the hacks are saying so, and saying united look ordinary and need to sign players, whereas we look set!
What a friggin turn around!
choy agreed. I would love to see our front 3 be…
Arshavin
RVP Eddie/Vela
Choy, agreed. Im just trying to take the postives. I feel as shitty as every other gooner out there.
agree there with the vs the top 4 matches,city was always the more important game you look at united record last season in them games and it was shit
choy;
RvP is getting used to the new system. Quality players will adapt and i fully expect him to settle into soon and start scoring. Starting at Middle Eastlands in 2 weeks!
and the worst part is we have no game for another 2 weeks….
MG… i don’t think rvp can be an out and out goalscorer.. he is more of a creator..he just takes too much time on the ball…
with his talents i expect him to shoot more.
yes that’s another thing that annoys me the fucking shitty international break i don’t like one single player in that england team either i couldn’t give a fuck what they do
Rvp/Bendtner on the right—-Eddie/Arshavin central—–Vela/Arshavin left
I am gutted vela is injured. Fucking joke he has to play all effin summer with mexico and now he is injured!
I tell you, he is goin to be a huge player for us. And is made for the new formation!
Shite, we still have Theo, Nasri, Rosicky and Vela to come back!
That is amazing. The attacking talent we possess is fucking brilliant!
I thought Nasri had a blinding 1st season for us and he will only get better. His work rate is immense too.
Just a couple of defensive signings and we are rockin’!
Almunia is shit so far this season, his best was 07-08 like most of the squad.
The front 3 should be VP – Eddie – Arshavin. No other way unless there is an injury or its a nothing match against a shit team.
And RVP doesnt just shoot anymore. He always brings it onto his left and looks for a pass.
Mangoo, absolutely agreed on Vela. He is fucking magical at 20. Clinical and has great technical ability. Also great eye for a pass. I cant wait until nasri is in form and our midfield is— Cesc-Song-Nasri,
choy;
The new system will allow us not to have to rely on a sole striker to score us the goals, though. The goals will be spread more I think.
Rvp.. too many touches in the box.. no time for that..
I like the guy.. but he is not ruthless enough
We have to many attacking options. Shame half of them are injured or we would be a real force in all comps. At this rate we will only have enough for 1 comp.
And we have Fabianski injured too which is a cunt because he would probably have been drafted in by now.
i don’t think rosicky will stay injury free after this latest one i think we should call it a day with him and bring in a replacement
yes Man G .. i agree.. but against teams like man utd.. we need to be testing the goalkeeper more..
I think we can win EPL, but I dont know if we can win FA cup or Champions league because that would require us playing well in a HUGE game and keeping our cool. Atleast at this point, if we cant win at OT after playing them off the field, we arnt going to win any finals.
luke that midfield 3 is top notch mate!
our back 4 has looked solid too and with Arshavin Eduardo and RvP upfront, thats a top team, IMO.
will nasri be back after the international break.. or how long is he going to take?
nasri is expected to be back in oct
Choy- longer than that. I think from late september to mid to late october is his expected period of return.
We have an amazing first XI when everyone is fit but we just dont ever have everyone fit. IMO Al is just the only position that needs improving on.
I have to say I am proud of our form without Cesc, Nasri, Walcott, Rosicky, Djourou, Fabianski. We really our missing some talent and managing to put points on the board. If we can continue to do this, I think that will be the key to winning the premier league.
Stu- we need more CB depth, and maybe another DM but otherwise agreed.
oh ok.. at least walnut, fab, rosicky, vela are back after the international break i hope..
vela will take more time. End of sept/beginning of oct.
did anyone see the legbreak of the belgian player?
its sickening
hope he gets well soon
Yeah luke, hence wy i said first XI. The squad strength can always be improved on.
And lets not forger our other players might get injured during these 2 long effin weeks. Djourou cough*
What Belgian player choy?
choy- who? Stu, my bad
choy: who was that then?
alex something:
http://i29.tinypic.com/33e1wfd.gif
extremely graphic .. watch at own risk..
HOLY FUCK! That was horrific! His leg bent like an empty sleeve….balls!
choy;
Thanks, but I think I’ll give it a miss fella!
thats the worst broken leg ive ever seen. he is never playing football again surely
that is horrific,shit i think that is by far the worst leg break i have seen,that guy will be extremely lucky to play again i.m.o
am off.. stay safe everybody…
night all.
what a horrendous tackle and break. all the best to him. blimey that is a bad one.
on a different note, who do you guys think will take worldcup next year?
Im hoping Holland win it.
They never step it up in the big games though. Great team all around if they could get some better defenders Id agree.
If the french youngsters step it up (ben arfa, matuidi, diaby) i think they could give it a go.
Won all their qualifying games tho..didnt concede many either i dont think. Play great football too.
2 caps Diaby? I doubt he will even make the squad.
look at their group though. Macedonia, Scotland, Norway, Iceland. Id hope they won all their qualifying games
Scotland beat France tho..no pushovers. I cant really comment on the others tho.
Hollands a favorite to watch. All those players seem to come alive playing for their national team. Robben was deadly in the euros.
im off, have a good one everybody. Keep those heads up.
Night luke….
jeepers i would hate to be a physio rushing on to deal with that. i wonder did belgian tv show the replays. i was kinda glad they didnt with eduardo.
Almunia
Sagna-Gallas-Vermy-Clichy
Cesc-Song-Nasri
RVP-Arshavin-Eddie
had to watch repeat of us beating man utd last year and now i feel a bit better. I miss Nasri a lot
maybe to switch it up go with 4-3-1-2
Almunia
Sagna-gallas-verminator-clichy
Cesc-Song-Van der vaart (if we buy), or rosicky
——Nasri——–
RVP/Nikki-Arshavin/Eddie

“i don’t think rosicky will stay injury free after this latest one i think we should call it a day with him and bring in a replacement”
Arshavin is the replacement but while Rosicky has even the slightest chance of making a comeback he should be at the club because he is one of the best footballers in the world. Simply put hes another match winner, who in my opinion along with Arshavin, RVP, Fabregas, Eduardo and Nasri are capable of turning any game at any time. We are blessed with talent but unlucky with injuries and that will change. Add to the above cast the talents of Vela Wilshire Ramsey Walcott and the emergance of Song and Denilson as consistent performers and we have a midfield and attacking line up which for me will win trophies and do it playing fantatstic football. Diaby despite yesterday and Bendnar have also shown a marked improvement. The back which started on Saturday is as good as anything in the league but we need a high quality centre half as cover. Our squad is actually very strong.
i think our squad is better than man utd’s and liverpool’s. I sure as hell hope rosicky gets his act together because we need him. I would love to see VDV come in though because he will be injured this season, nasri has to recover, fabregas will be injured, song will be gone for ACN, and denilson is inconsistent.
Rosicky will be injured that is*
and Diaby might come back strong or might collapse under the mistake he made and the pressure he is under.
Surely nasri must be close to a return. Saw him today in the stands for the snoozefest of Marseilles vs Bordeaux
way I see it- We had about 13 million at the end of last season. Vermy in- 2 million about. Kolo/Ade out- about 41 million. VDV- 7-10 million, Good youngish CB for cover, 6-7 million, and Wenger will still save enough money for his board.
Zues, Nasri will be back in training in october. then he has to find form. We need to win something this year.
Obviously we can’t depend on Rosicky being fit. But look at how United uses Owen. We should follow in similar fashion. He can’t play2/3 games a week. So we choose the one he is need the most for. Playing top quality in Europe is better than playing him in a game with Stoke that will kick him off the park.
Agree Zues – play Diaby and Denilson against Hull and Stoke, Play Rosicky and Arshavin against Chelsea and Barca.
This is going to be a fantastic season for us I can feel it…Better to get all the disappointments out of the way early…its what happns in April/May that matters.
Choy
Oh dear God.
If theres any transfer news or anyone knows anything, please keep us grovers posted

———————-
Eddie cant play the Central Role He is too short. And we dont know about his fear of the tackle against the likes of Vidic and Terry.
We NEED a proper CF hopefully someone who is two footed.
David u couldn’t be more right which is why I am hoping Milan actually get relegated. We had a player that looked the business in Edin Dzeko lined up and that bastard Galliani ruined it. I truly hate that guy. Funny how he was 99percent sure Milan would win the derby and inter gave them a 4-0 drubbing.

mornig all
I was not sad couse we lost at the FA’s ground on Saturday I have never been optimistic like this season for the last four I can say with only two payers added to the squad we can mean business
Knobcheese….
Fucking stuck in work on a Bank Holiday, doing support for non-existant projects, with the heed from hell courtesy of Miller Genuine Draft and Rioja, a quality combo
Manchester united always have the referees influencing the game…
ANYWAY WE LOST BUT MAN U WILL BE FIGHTING FOR FOURTH SPOT THIS SEASON…they will not buy all the referees.
For us if we just buy Van Der Vart, Matuidi and Chamakh thyen we are brewed to go…
Fletcher kept fouling everyone ….
This is what happens when you have trainees in a squad.
Djourou: hit and miss
Alumina: poor judgement leading to unnecessary goals
Dennilson: Not strong enough
Bendtner: Well, Chamkah would have been better on the right.
Theo: we know he is not finished article yet.
Rambo: still learning, you do not bring him to change games, you bring him when we are cruising
Wilshere is the only trainee we have that can fight, we should bleed him in gently.
Wenger, if you do not buy the 3 players we need, then shame on you, we are tired of hearing excuses, you will take the blame squarely!
Fouling opponents, dodgy referees or whatever, the bottom line was we missed a glorious opportunity to stuff a piss poor ManUre outfit, and the fault lies squarely with our manager, in terms of an inadequate squad, which results in a piss poor midfield selection, and also shocking substitutions again, in truth, nothing has changed from last season……
You can blame Wenger as much as you want confident just who as he got to answer to?the board,the fans nah he dont answer to anyone too much power and influence he is arsenal mate!!!!
when project is non-existent why doing it dude..DDM
DDM..no news from ur source side dude
Why do i feel we are swimming against the tide here?
Also i think we should now throw completely behind Arsene. It was fucking disrespectfull of Dean the cunt and the fourth official and the manure fans to treat our manager like that.
Its a disrespect to the entire club and not just the manager.
I just feel a bit for Arsene who had to answer to his own fans last season, and he is left alone to listen to the ridiculous chants of the half evolved manure fans.
I think its time to support the club unconditionally and make it show, win or lose, buy or dont buy.
It will definitely rub on the players and the manager.
I feel for Arsene. I think he will be the last of purists we have had in the club.
Ikon,
I will fully support Wenger if he buys what we need- 3 players plus a keeper and he learns how to make subs.
Fuck me ikon you are turning into a AKB but sadly agree with you!!
Imagine Sneijder in place of Diaby and also imagine Vierra or M. Diarra in place of Dennilson in that match. Imagine a good keeper in place of Al, tell me how Manu would have come back?
yes
M.Diarra is the beast we are crying out for but is he for sale though??
DDM
i agree man U were woeful ! and we still managed to fuglar it up !
I called it a test , but it wasnt even that !
it was just 1 average team V’s another …
we did play better than them for periods , but they were periods with no finished product ..
so the question must be raised did we really play better than them ?
because if you cant produce the finished product ,then your not really better .
..are you ?
hello every one
there aint is any transfer news like the last season n d-day
alonso last year and arshavin in winter

why the fuck should we be behind arsene when he so obviously disrespects US ?
he sold 25 mil ade and 15 mil toure
gave us 1 great player and has stashed 29 million under the bed post !?
we can fucking count !
we have been on so long about getting in quality players
last season 4 out – 2 in
this season also more out than in !
what the fuck on earth is there to rally behind?
every season for the past 5 years weve lost more experience than gained ..
how can that add up to a better team ?!?!?!
its simply taking the piss , and hedging funds where ever possible !

ARSENAL PLANNING LATE RAIDS FOR CHAMAKH AND VIERA
Lunatics and asylum two words which spring to mind when you cast an eye over many of the posts on le Grove. The circular rendition of the never ending criticism and negativity for this team and manager is just bizarre. For those who can’t see the improvement and development of this team no explanation will suffice for those that can no explanation is needed.
No Post Today??
Let the right foot make the talking
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/6114767/Alan-Hansen-Arsenal-need-someone-like-Darren-Fletcher-in-their-team.html
More absolute rubbish being passed off as sensible comment. Fletcher was their best player but we still dominated the middle of the park.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/arsenal/6114767/Alan-Hansen-Arsenal-need-someone-like-Darren-Fletcher-in-their-team.html
We outmuscled United, the first time we have been able to do this since the days of Paddy V however such obvious improvements are lost on experts.
Hansen should mind his own buisness and concentrate on his morrison adverts!
Ethan, you will not get anything as close to perfect which we are getting at this club. Imagine a pool fan having the same line of reasoning as you. He will go mad at what is happening in his club. Pool minus gerrard and torres are nothing. Benitez sold Alonso and bought a injured Aquilani.
My point is it is sometimes not advisable for fans of a club to be as neutral as many of us…..all the fucking time. Sometimes you need to see what is happening outside of the club. And if those developments is affecting the club’s running, you got to distance yourself from your criticism of people who run the club, and direct your criticism at the outside developments.
I am not judging Arsene. He is right many times, and is wrong many times. I am just saying the farce that happened at the end of the match against manu was disrespectfull to the manager, fans and the whole of the club.
Who the fuck sings “sit down you Paedophile” for a man who has been in England for 10+ years, and has produced talents such as Henry, Pires, Fabregas and lightened up the premier league. Who is the one among the ridiculously few people who have brought the premier league to the level it is presently at?
Why the fuck do Kaka and Buffon and Villa wanted to play only for Arsenal if they ever play in England.
If we continue with our negativity, how are we going to shut the fucking lunatics who sing those songs for a manager having as illustrious as a career as Arsene.
I am not asking for unconditional support for Wenger for ever. I am asking it for now. In fact I would plead to people to get behind the team and the manager at least for now.
It is ridiculous that I have to plead for support of the team, and a bit of positivity from my fellow fans.
It would be in the best interests of everyone to show that Arsenal have a “supportive” fan base and not a “analytic and critical” fanbase.
No offense meant to anyone.
Ikon well said m8, its just a pity it needs said at all.
Dirty Std Liege players we must watch for Witsel, shocking tackle

no geoff/pedro no new post
Yo all,
the question is will AW sign anyone b4 the window shuts??
NO!!!!!!!!
Why bother with reasoned debate then, just agree with Arsenal.Com
Brady, after last match, my hatred of the united supporters , Mike Dean and the FA superseeds anything wrong that Arsene might have done in his entire tenure.
Project youth is up for debate/criticism but only within us, Arsenal fans. If an outside guy labels it as the manager being Paedophile, I will deal with him first and then come back to my problems with the club once I make sure the outside guy is aware that he has none of his business sticking his arse around my club.
OH MY GOD!!!!
geez SuperGunner! thats fucked
England recalls for Crouch, Brown and Lennon
Two spuds & a dud
I hope we get England @ the group stage
Hands up all those who think the FA will do anything regarding those “sit down you Paedophile” chants????
Is that any less worse than what poor old Sol Campbell had to endure from his old club, or Carlton Cole against Willwall????
So today is the day then, for a new Goal keeper to be signed
The FA won’t do anything, unless the Arabs who run the show now allow them.
Manure rely on a hairy old baboon called Giggs & a cheat called Rooney. And their fans are bigots
Why do the Arabs run the show?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ thats why
The intro to the live telecast down here now is choka full of Arabs sights,etc. They are taking over.
But oh, no, don’t let that Uzbeck multi billionaire buy players to counter it. That would mean a takeover. Its un English
I don’t get it – why does having that sort of money mean they run the show, what have they done, what influence have they exerted to make you think they do?
is there no new post today?
Arab insights? this is the first time i’ve heard that, i’m genuinely interested what does it mean? how?
Dein used to have heaps of influence over the FA, now The Arsenal just get pushed around coz it doesn’t have the big wigs to flex their muscles & tell the FA to get stuffed. The FA kisses anyone with money, that is why chelski, manure, now man city, & spuds are the darlings. Money.
That last week/weekend circus with the crap about Eduardo, then the treatment of Wenger was a disgrace, & until The Arsenal gets the big boys like the Yank & Uzbeck in, this sort of shit will continue.
Pedro is being help captive by Megan Fox.
And Geoff is a vegetable.
Can anyone give me a serious answer?
GG – the Eddie stuff was because of Uefa and the Scottish FA wasn’t it?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that i hadn’t thought about it before.
Most of the scenes that accompany the musically backed intro to the live coverage, shows middle eastern people & settings. They never used to feature until this year.
BW
True but the FA said nothing, they just hung Eduardo out to dry. Spineless shits
Love the responses to yet another dumb article written by a supposed expert who really should not be in that position in the first place. Once again the Daily Mirror show what low life scum they have become. Best of all the responses are not just from Gooners.
I love the way that Media aside, Fans, Managers and fellow players have taken the side of Eduardo and Wenger.

OK Kenny. Geoff was arrested for his part in the trouble between West Ham and Millwall last week and Pedro has gone to get a clipboard and hard hat and hopes to bust him out ala face from the A team.
Or how the fuck would we know, do we we look like we live with Geoff and Pedro or something?
sit on the Ca$h
WOW GG i am going to look out for that from now on!
Makes a change from the Jews running the show though I guess. That was a joke before anyone gets offended!
The only way to stop the f-wits from writing this sort of shit & footy authorities to do as The Arsenal says, is to get all those old farts to sell their remaining shares to the uzbeck and/or yank (Geoff can keep his ofcourse) so that they buy us a players like Real Madrid have done, then we will do as it pleases us.
Will they let Geoff keep his in prison?
Baxter, that shows your mentality there mate.
WTF Kenny?
You got a beef? Put em up. C’mon right here and now.
Baxter Wall,
if it was a joke, why mention it at all. That’s the second time in 3 days you are breaking the house rules, and as i am senior to most on here, and in the absence of Geoff, take that as a yellow card.
The Arsenal qualifies 5-1 on aggregate for the CL, & it has to endure that shit from a pack of spoilt shits called Celtic. What a disgrace, & The Arsenal’s own governing body said nothing, did nothing to defend them.
You just revealed your intellect there Kenny. I said it was a complete and utter joke i was making!
You fucking cum sandwich!
Evening Kelsey.
kelsey when did i break the house rules?
I hardly think Geoff is going to let you issue yellows after what you called him on Arseblog, mate.
Come on fellas take a swipe @ the oposition, not fllow gooners.
*fellow
DDM

more dramatic than eastenders on here
Jesus, what is wrong with you fucking ‘people’….
Good morning, folks!
Lots of nice interesting posts this morning, so I think I will screw up the courage to say something I have been wanting to say for some time now…
I have been a regular to this site and have enjoyed my time here with the regulars – Pedro, Geoff, Doublegooner, GG9, Franchise, tomstoned, A, Mayank, ddm, Kelsey, Keyser, Evo, Rob, Stu, BBK, LAzer, KM amongst many others.
Over the last few months, I am seeing an unnecessary degree of viciousness in the posts here. The followers of this blog have always been outspoken, but there has been logic and passion behind their candour.
Recently, I see a lot of viciousness for viciousness’ sake. Name calling, denigrating the club without any logic or argument, etc. I have criticized Arsene Wenger on many occasions and still reserve the right to do so, but there always has been logic and passion for the club behind what I have said. I do not see that in some of the posters today.
This is an appeal to the few who vitiate the atmosphere here to tone down the rhetoric, participate on the blog as football lovers and supporters of the Arsenal Football Club and not do what Fletcher did to AA23 – be anti-football or anti-Arsenal.
This site has a history of throwing out trouble-makers and I would guess that both Arsene lovers as well as Arsene haters would be thrown out if they didn’t add to the conversation but merely added to the abuse.
I may have left an occasional comment on arseblog, that’s because i don’t always agree with what others say, but i don’t go down the racist route, mate.leave it please,for the sake of the blog.Thanks.
