Great to see young gunner Henri Lansbury ripping into Sheffield United, is he good enough to bring back? Could he play that midfield role, is he another Ramsey or another Flamini, what’s your take on it?
Wenger says he considered bringing Matty Upson back, good timing boss, just in time for the West Ham game!
I watched the Fulham game and wondered how Hangeland would have fitted in, I wouldn’t have swapped him for Vermaelen, but against a team that’s big on set pieces I would have him as an option, maybe if we are still in the mix in January, Wenger will have another look, I would, we all know Gallas won’t last the season.
I think we are playing West Ham at a good time, they keep losing and we got a toe up the arse against AK, I think we’ll win and win well, but the team needs to come out the blocks quickly because I think West Ham will.
We have a frenetic 2 weeks coming up, West Ham followed by Liverpool, followed by Spurs followed by AZ, so in theory, we could be top of the league, into the next round of the Carling Cup and qualifying in our ECL group. Wouldn’t we all be happy eh?
It seems to me we are being linked to more players now that we have ever been, I don’t get excited any more, because it so rarely happens, the last time we signed more than one big player was in that January transfer window when we got Theo, Ade and Diaby (I think) Arshavin says we need two players, I agree, just two, but I’ve said that since last season.
I have changed my mind over the keeper though, we have three young ones, that in my mind are all better than Almunia, will he play Mannone, Fabianski or will he bring back the waiter?
We’ll know tomorrow, but if he doesn’t play Almunia, the writing’s on the wall, that’s for sure.
A final word from the boss on any potential takeover, he said ‘don’t interfere’ now I admire that, but it really does show who has the safest job in football, doesn’t it!
Have a great day Grovers, tomorrow we go East. Like the Pet shop boys did.
P.S. Just incase you weren’t aware, Le Grove is now smart phone friendly… comments load super quickly so there is no reason not to blog on the road!
Cesc hasnt been brilliant all season but he still always had end product even when he wasnt playing well. Thats what sets him apart from the others and why its annoying bullshit when people compare his performances to the likes of Diaby.
Fuck you Stewy!
No one has co0mpared him to cesc Stu, but I wouldnt expect you to get it.
Have you finished tidying up BTW?
I have decided not to respond to you from now on unless you have something serious to say. OK! That is all.
*but no i have not finished tidying…not thats what i was even doing.
*not that thats
I am literally turning my back on you now Stu… Considering youwere saying much the same shit about Diaby earlier, only makes one of us look foolish. Can you guess which one that is….?
Now go and re-organise your sock drawer mister!
Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has admitted he is flattered by comparisons to former Gunner Patrick Vieria but has insisted that he is a much different player to the Frenchman.
The 23-year-old is an increasing influence at the Emirates and began the season in fine style, bagging a brace on the opening day against Portsmouth.
Diaby was also in the goals again last weekend with a strike against Birmingham City to help the Gunners claim their fourth straight league win.
Whilst the midfielder is happy to accept the plaudits that are coming his way this season, he insists it is wrong to compare him to his “idol” Vieira.
“He is a big idol for me and I learned a lot from watching him,” he told The Sun.
“The way he defends and the way he penetrates defenders to get in the box – he has been a big influence.
“People make the comparison between us because I’m tall like him but I believe our game is very different.
“He is much more aggressive than me and much stronger.”
gunnergetyou;
That is sooooo off topic its untrue!
Great reporting by whoever wrote that. We clearly didnt play Portsmouth on the opening day.
This is diaby day
i hope tomorrow is diaby day for the right reasons
Vieira just missed a sitter
What kind of shit goalkeeping is that by Fat Robinson. Essien scored from a good 35 yards and it went almost straight down the middle (although it did curl a lot but even so).
ManGoonian
Have you been on constantly all day?
GoonerMichael;
Oh thats charming! I havent been on here for weeks, I come back and you are having a pop coz i have been too drunk and disorderly to do anything else but post crap on here all day….
I am flouncin off in a right old girly hissy fit now…
MG, maybe you need chill-out a bit, smoke a spliff or something, usually does it for me
I wasn’t having a pop. I was asking a question. You had a good time?
So, the Crystal meth is out the question then?
Mate, you think Im being serious….?
GM;
Yeah thanks mate. And I knew what you meant, just being hilariously satirical, innit.
a couple of good results today. Shame about the chavs. Did they get any serious injuries?
2 derbies in a row……first the ‘appy ‘ammers who as usual think they’ll cause an upset. Not tomorrow. Can’t wait for the big one………lets mash the Spuds. I’m gonna have some sausage and mash while I’m watching.
Predictions:
West Ham 0 Arsenal 1
Arsenal 7 Totnum 1
i for one i am not to suprised by the chelsea result,for long term they dont have that many young players comming through but for short term the fact is they alot of very experienced top class players yes they will hvae to be abit lucky with injuries in my opinion who ever finishers above chelsea will most liklely win the prem
Real draw again.Pellegrini to get sacked?
What was the score Nish? They need a defence. Good individual players but no team ethic imo.
One of the more popular clubs down here in Oz is having a renaissance I see. Those geezers from Loftus Road, QPR. My bro will be getting out his old moth eaten scarf & 1970′s Umbro hooped top again
Nis
Don’t they shoot failed managers in a firing squad like gringos in Spain?
leon
The Arsenal will finish above chelski, so its Arsenal the Champions then.
gnarly
we have good chance but we will have to be lucky with injuries,chelsea without dought do have a much experienced central midfield,i feel this team as more attacking options but both chelsea and manu are better at grinding out results and if liverpool get realy lucky with injuries and gerard and torres and such players stay fit they have a chance too i realy cant see how you can rule out any of the teams this early evon if liverpool lose i still would not rule them yet its still far to early because i know for fact that all 4 teams are going drop more points
5-0 to chelski, wow!!! There would be some very chuffed chavs after that result. Theft of Burberry caps & tops would be sky rocketing in those parts today LOL
leon
chelski are doing what The arsenal did last year, drop points against the “weaker” clubs, then bullying Blackburn is like winning 6-2 IMO. I really don’t think chelski have room for improvement in them. They are playing @ full strength & are boring to watch. The Arsenal on the other hand still have a few surprises up their sleeve. Have chelski beaten a top rank team yet?
Chelsea are the most boring,negative,anti football team on the planet,but also they are a bunch of winners!!
Fucking guts me to say that also!!!
Sack Allardyce
reggie reg;
So, are we not counting the losses to Villa and Wigan now fella???
You know what i mean mangoon, apart from tham 2 defeats!!
haha reggie, I live in California so I didnt get the news until I woke up.
I like that Arsenal 7 Spuds 1 prediction
…….& the choking of Terry in the CL. They aren’t that special, especially when you compare 13 times Champions with a small 3 times champions.
reggie reg;
Just dont big up those chavvy twats fella!
gnarl yes they are boringbut they know chern out the wins,i garantee most of there wins are 1-0,ant at home they will be very difficult to beat but i see chinks in there defence and that be expoited
All im saying is them cunts have got the winning mentality ie grinding out results when not playing well im not bigging em up i hate them and every thing they stand for!!!
the chavs glory days will come to an end as soon as fat frank and co fuck off into retirement. After that they will be just like real madrid, a dis-jointed bunch of big signings, with countless managers being sacked.
no regie you are quite right but they are defending as well as before
reggie….not sure which game u were watching but Chelsea played some good football 2day. Joe Cole was on fire….if he was Brazilian we’d all be saying he’s world class etc. Joe Cole was awesome 2day….
gr8 scoreline…..note that we conceded 2 and they didnt concede none against the same time.
against the same SIDE
When we play the chavs we will see how far we have progressed since last season hopefully we can put em to the sword!!!
km, you could argue that they conceded 3 goals against wigan, and we destroyed them in 2nd gear.
reggie ur right. Gunnerget…you have a point
Imo this year is going to be REALLLY close. my heart says its going to be between us and chelsea BUT my head says its going to be us, Chelski & ManU with a big pack chasing.
I watched them chav cunts play today and they looked good which will go down as their performance of the season!!
We beat the chavs at their gaff, beat the Mancs at ours, didnt mean a thing in the end…
Blackburn are shite and were missing Dunn and that Samba dude too.
It was one game, when they fail to turn up in their next away game, we will all be larfinh our tits off.
And their defending is ropey at set pieces, yet apparantly we have a shit defence!

what a bad run of games
Maybe Lennon will be fucked for the game next week… Need to excorcise that ficture from last season. Took me weeks to get over that result. Sends a shiver down me spine thinkin about it…
So, just the 6 wins and a draw then gunnergetyou…
clichy needs to be switched on against lennon, any of his usual fuck ups will be punished.
Drawing with stoke away is not a bad result Mangoon!!
Well, watchin the headless chicken Lennon limpin off today, he might not be available fella…
ManG.
I’ve had a read back and had a right good howl at some of your posts.
Top blogging…more power to ya !!!
Reg;
Hahaa! Well, it will be an improvement on last seasons result mate!!
i hope so MG, but to play villa, manu, chelsea and liverpool back to back is a big worry, we need to be top of the table before those fixtures.
Sharkey;
Haha! Thanks mate. At least my over indulgence aint been for nothing then!
ManG you also did a great job in getting Stu to tidy his room as well.
Now he’s got room for the life size figurines of Song and Diaby that he got off Geoff at a car boot sale..??
Hahaa!
Stu has gone very quite tonight since you told him to finish tidying his room!!
I feel bad now guys!
Its either that or hes banging one out!!
that one was a runny one!!
Dont forget the clocks go back a hour tonite!!
Extra hour in bed for all you lovers!!!
A quick joke;;
What has long,thick black curly hair
and lips that have never been kissed
Susan Boyles fanny.
Haha! Nice imagery there, thanks reggie reg!
Does anyone else believe that Lansbury deserves a chance with a prem team. This would give us a better look at him.
A team like WIGAN would bbe perfect for him.
Also why is Rosiky not getting a new contract yet? Does anyone else think Wenger might let him go and trust Ramsay, Merida, Wilshire and Lansbury more in the first team, if we dont give him a new contract.
yoooo
rosicky is fucked he’s going to be constanly in and out of the team they should of brought a ready made replacement in
Everyone gone to bed?
Rosicky will do the bizz this year, win us important games, score vital goals and get a new deal…
Lansbury is fine where he is, IMO and Wenger can see him every day… Watford train right next door to Arsenal at London Colney!
Susan Boyles fanny
‘We have to accept that people’s opinions are like the weather forecast, they can change quickly. We’ve had a stronger start than last year and are in a much stronger position after eight games. But we haven’t won anything yet. We have to take care of our game and our spirit, because football is fragile and can change quickly.
-Wenger
Cmon you mutha-funglin, rip-roaring, new arsehole-tearing Gunners.
Chozzer, put your clock back!
You’ll be sitting there waiting for kick wondering what the fuck us going on
I was hoping Pedro had forgotten to do his and he’d post at 8!
I’ve been waiting for kick-off since 9.45pm on Tuesday….another hour ain’t goona hurt.
Morning all, I was thinking the same thing, wouldn’t it be nice if Pedro posted more than once a week and what time should I post today, will people remember the clocks go back?
I decided to split the difference, I’ll post at 8.30, the old 9.30.
So for some it will be late and others early.
Evening Geoff
What a night/morning of footy. The entre being Liverpoo v manure, then the main course @ Upton Park.
Morning Gnarley, how the hell will you stay awake?
Have a snooze before hand then get to work late (sleep in). Its got to be a Pool & Arsenal win.
Read my post in 5 minutes, I cover all the eventualities!
Ok all new post going up!
