I wouldn’t ever admit to blowing anything, let alone singing about it, but that’s West Ham for you, today though they will be blowing something, their chances!
So having spent 17 years of my early life living a pitching wedge from the Boleyn you would expect me to know a few happy hammers would you not?
Well I do, but only one of them has a season ticket, and he only has that because his wife bought it for him, Hmmmm, I wonder how much that cost her, top buying sweetlips, you must really love him!
Anyway, so why am I an Arsenal fan growing up in the vipers nest eh? Well simple, I was born in Bethnal Green, which is E2 and two and a half miles from Arsenal, the Boleyn ground was 8 miles away in E6, which is really Essex, so my local team was the Arsenal.
We moved when I was 4 because the Krays were active and my mum didn’t want me growing up with that influence so we moved to East Ham, or the bear pit as I then called it, as it was far rougher than where I came from, then the Krays moved into East Ham and her plan backfired.
I used to go to West Ham, as in those day I looked after people’s cars going to the game, so for 90 minutes I had nothing to do until pay day, I was watching the West ham golden years though, and used to see Moore, Peters and Hurst, I also saw the Charlton’s, Law’s and the Best’s when they visited, I even remember watching Charlie George score the winner once, happy days!
Anyway onto today, how funny was that watching Sky Sports yesterday and seeing the spuds get hammered, so 1 point behind and 2 games in hand, it’s cringe making, yesterday they were going to win the league, today they will end up in 5th place, all we need is a draw.
I like West Ham, they are like the poor relation in the family that everyone likes, but you never go for a beer with them because you don’t want to be seen with them, I think we’ll stuff WHU today, why? Well one because we are better, and two because although Sol Campbell trains with us, he doesn’t play anymore!
The noises the boss has been making about the keeper situation makes me believe Almunia will be back today, shame for Mannone that, because now Fabianski’s fit, Mannone’s big chance has gone. Still Almunia should have a blinder if that’s the case. We’ll see.
We’ve been linked with a move for Georgian midfielder Zhano Ananidze, he is 5’6″ and if we are going to go for another short player I would prefer the winger Eden Hazard, but as it’s the 84th player we’ve been linked with in the last week, I’m taking no notice of it.
I do have a feeling he’ll surprise us all in the window, and because of the African exodus, I think he’ll buy a DM, my guess is it will be Inler or Matuidi.
Anyway, if the Mancs draw and we win it will be awesome, if the Mancs win, it will be awesome, and if the scousers win it will be awesome, see where I’m going with this?
I’m going 3-1 to us today, because it’s been a while since I’ve predicted a score and today I feel lucky punk, very lucky.
Sorry for the few that got stuck in moderation yesterday both Pedro and I were out, today however I’m mostly in, and will be glued to the TV from midday.
Have a happy domingo all and see you in the comments!
weve been through this with diaby. He is average 3 games, crap 3 games, then has 1 good game and then repeats
leon, inconsistent equals crap when you happen to play for a team with aspirations, besides, 1 poor game in 5 is inconsistent, 1 good game in 5 is crap…
I would rather just Gourcuff and leave Chamakh where he is. Useless footballer.
so will the team against the bindippers beas follows
fabianski
gilbert, silvestre, Senderos, gibbs
wilshere, ramsey, nasri, troare,
vela , bendtner ,
the team for the spuds
almunia,
sagna, vermmalean , gallas, clichy,
song
nasri fabregas
rosicky , van persie , arshavin
Nasri won’t start against Spuds, more Diaby for us I’m afraid…
Yea nasri wont start 2 games in 4 days after returning from injury. Why not start ramsey over diaby?
OK Gooners, I’m offski
4-4-2 simon? Never gonna happen. Coquelin will probably be in there too…and no Traore.
I think the pool team will be stronger. Wenger says it will be mixed with the boys and the men
night suga
simon i would rather see
fab
gilbert silvest senderos
couquin
watt rambo
wiltshire vela nikki
I hope diaby starts for pool and not spuds
10 men leon…interesting idea
Pool will come to tear us a new one – it is the ‘we can still win this and you can’t’ thing that will arise from the result, it will give them winners some psychological edge and we are yet to play them in the league…
Fab
Eboue Senderos Silvestre (reluctantly) Gibbs
Coquelin Ramsey
Nasri
Wilshere Bendtner Vela
Thats what we should go for. Get Fab more game time before the spud match.
this time I’m really off
I think pool will have to put out a pretty weak eleven with the matches they have had
night suga…
I think even shitvestre and senderos can handle babel and ngog
When Rosicky plays. The Arsenal look world beaters. When he doesn’t…………..
I have had a kip & feel refreshed, & for the life of me I still can’t see why Eboue is played in that midfield role with Diaby. The really good players in the team, like Rosicky, make them look good, but when the team has to rely on eboue & diaby alone for inspiration, they are not up to it. That means no trophys. Its simple really, rid the team of these type of players, they are keeping a really, really good player out.
i think he a few options there he can watt,nasri,barasite,merida,troare sowenger has got few options there alot young players comming trough and need to given a chance,i think the fact is for this game niether bretna or edwardo were fully fit thats reason he did not bring them sooner wenger already stated that they were 50/50 and edwardo had been out for 2-3 weeks
Exactly..too many weak players makes us look shit. We are jusr getting used to having Song as a starter and now Diaby and EBoue are playing most of the games. It too many average in one place.
I agree GG9. Rosicky is so class…
He allows Fab and AA to play their a-game.
Thank God Nasri is back for the spurs..
i’d hate to see what the result would be with Diabi and Eboue in there.
Why not vela though? Thats what gets me. Vela is better at Right forward then eboue any day of the week
jay, dont think nasri will be starting for spuds. Wenger has said he will start against pool and I doubt he will play twice in 4 days after his injury…
arrogance by this team today was a disgrace. win something first u prima donnas. they should apoligise to the fans
Wenger put out a shitty eleven, the shitty eleven didnt do good, wenger didnt make good subs. I hold everyone accountable. Thought sagna and vermy were good today
luke we have only glimses of vela we realy dont if he can play week in/out so we realy dont know he perform on a consistant basis
Yeah todays team was a slap in the face. After watching 90minutes of boring football against AZ Wenger decided to put out the exact same team and it happened all over again.
I mean the football was much better but the same problems were there.
Its not about week in week out leon. He isnt being used at all apart from the carling cup games and there arent enoug of those a season to give Vela enough playing time to improve at a rate at which he should.
Youngsters need games to get better and Vela isnt getting the time that he deserves.
stu i would have agree with that it be nice see play at 45 minutes a few times but its only october and he has been injured i think wenger play him,which is why i think wenger should put merida on laoan in jan
He hasnt been injured the whole time tho. He doesnt even make it off the bench so its not like there is no way of playing him. He is there but just not being used.
Leon…I would play him a half at the pool…
We need a mid of cesc nas and song..
eddy, vp, arsh up top..
vela and bendy on bench.
Leon, I agree Vela isnt proven. But frankly, Wilshire would have been better then eboue. Eboue adds absolutely nothing attack wise. We are arsenal, we play attacking football, and when we in essence start 5 defenders, it isnt going to work…period. Not to mention Diaby…
6 defenders if you count Song too luke.
luke i dont agree the onlything wroung with eboue is crossing but he goes past players realy well he is very good utility player he plays wb lb lwing and right wing evon dm player at times
Good point Stu. I just dont think we will win games with such a negative starting eleven. We win by scoring more than the other team and we need to accept that. Frankly, I dont think we can hold down tight games consistently so lets try and score 4. Atleast in the past couple of games when we conceded it hasnt been because we got caught on a counter. I mean, it hasnt been a consequence of attacking football, so I dont see why we wont push on and try and score more after 2-0…
Leon, he goes past players very well only to cross the ball into the stands and disrupt an attacking rhythm…He also cant finish…All he can do is go past players here and there. Not the best passer. He is out of position period. I rate eboue as a right back though dont get me wrong. I dont assign fault to eboue, I assign it to wenger for playing eboue out of position
Leon, Eboue is a good marauding right back. Other than that he is pants. He can run past players but has absolutely end product. He plays a lot of positions but isnt versatile because to be versatile he would have to play reasonably well in those other positions.
He has a good cross and is decent at 1-2s but thats basically it imo.
Why do people perpetuate this rubbish, Vela had 10 starts last year and came off the bench a further 19 times, he’s been injured this season a fair bit, or been off on International Duty.
I don’t get why people pull up this bullshit about Eboue or Diaby taking his place, unless they want him to play as a midfielder or on the right hand side of it when he hasn’t really shown any consistentcy when we’ve actually needed him to.
Vela should play against Liverpool, aswell as Merida, if they do well they’ll get to play again and soon, if they don’t or don’t give enough in training they won’t.
If they do play, unless their personal favourties of the muppets making the comments, and they don’t have good games, they’re going to get slated and people will start writing them off.
I think crossing is one of Ebowies best attributes tbh. First time crosses that is because he seems to do worse the more touches he has.
Whats Bendtner good at Stuvid ?!
Im not answering that Keyser.
Keyser, you would rather see a front three of
Ebway-RVP-Arshavin over
Vela-RVP-Arshavin?
i rest my case wengers team selections fuck us over again …
and im saying this to the plonkers who actually believe we have a chance this season …
do you really think we can afford to throw 2 points out the window V’s a team like WHU and still be worthy winners ?
also ‘A’ nice team selections last weekend
is vito still in goal ? hmmm ?
rosicky didnt start this week so .. close… but no cigar …
luke he is always creating something causing problems for defences wwith his runs and as for today he played better tha aa alot better is passing let him down but he worked realy hard but he is squad player and very good one,it remains to seen if vela it would do a better job than at this point in time but vela just be played more often
On eboue vs vela. We know what were getting with Eboue as a forward…nothing, we dont know what were getting with vela. I would take a mysters over guaranteed shit.
I’d rather see a front 3 of Rosicky – Van Persie/ Eduardo – Arshavin.
With a bench of Vela, Walcott and so on, Vela’s barely played, not because of poor selction but because he’s been injured and been asked to play for his country injured.
Last season we rushed players back, and I’m not sure if thats the case with Vela, but we need consistency more than anything else IMO, we need to ease these players back in and hopefully string a few games together with some cohesion. Getting them fit in the process.
I’m glad we didn’t use Nasri, though I hope he gets a game in the Carling Cup.
mystery*
Stu – Sorry shouldn’t really pick on you.
vela has looked good in champions league. Better then eboue atleast
luke
dudu was on the sub bench next to nasri ?
id of preferred they started ..win it …
sub em ‘ out .
RVP dudu AA – STARTING .. or vela ! yeah ..
your not going to win anything with eboue diaby song .. they bring the teams high profile down .
stupid team selections from the talent mizer ,
Mr wenger ..
most managers put the shit players on for the last 10 minutes … not the talented ones.
take each game as it comes and play your best
11 ..
not use the west ham match as a 1st team experience builder to all your less talented players .
He looked busy, he didn’t really do much just ran around, he could’nt even be arsed to run back to stay onside and gave away a free-kick, I don’t think thats particularly bad because we should’ve defended better anyway.
Though if that was Ebway or Adebayor last season, there would’ve been the usual muppets saying it’s a lack of brain cells, actually they would’ve completely spazzed out..
the simple fact is vela is striker and unproven one and at moment we have edawrdo,rvp,bretna,thoe and vela,and at least 3 strikers are ahead of him i dont see him as midfielder at all may be winger/striker
Just saw that U2 are playing a concert on youtube or whatever. What the fuck is that about. FUcking bastard Bono thinking he is so great….
I would have much preferred edwardo but I think wenger is still nervous about starting him coming off his injury. Thats the only reason i was pushing for vela
I was only pushing for a vela start today because I think the only reason nikki/edwardo didnt start was because they were coming off injuries. Im saying if Wenger didnt want to use Nikki or edwardo out of injury fear, then use vela not ebway. Im sayign vela is a better option then ebway, not edwardo, rosicky, walcott, or bendtner…
luke – Honestly we should’ve won that game and the one in mid-week, either we’re going to need all of our top players completely fit and ready to go, or we’re going to have to work through games like that, where we’re compltely cruising and try to see them out.
That was a harsh criticism of Vela. You can hardly say he got many chances last year when firstly, it was his debut season in England, and secondly, the entire team played shit the entire year.
He has hardly been given any playing time with a strong creative unit behind him, only getting playing time with Denilson, Diaby, Eboue and Song. Hardly the kind of servicemen that leave strikers salivating.
I will agree that he has hardly set the place a fire when he was given opportunities outside of the CC, but when he was given these opportunities it was with subs with 3-5 mins remaining or when the team had nothing left to play for cuz we were dumped out of all competitions. I am from the CONCACAF region so I see my fair share of Mexico play and it seems to me that if he can perform for his country and have millions put their hopes on him (and others of course) and he excels, then he can do the same for Arsenal.
This boy has more talent than Walcott (though Walcott offers something different) and Walcott plays almost every game he is fit.
What i want is TO HAVE NO EXCUSES. Lets win, lose or draw with the best players we have for each game instead of having the same argument; Denilson, Diaby, Song, Eboue, Bendtner did(n’t) this, that and blah blah blah.
The left wing would be perfect for Vela right now. Not really mature enough for the middle and he doesnt seem to defend an awful lot. So left wing where he isnt crowded and doesnt have to defend too much is right for him. Like Theo on the right.
I just hope he plays against liverpool. Bendtner in the middle and Wilshere on the right.
Not sure where Nasri will play tho. Ramsey will surely start and maybe Merida but you have to assume Coquelin as the only DM will start too. Wenger needs to earn his money with this tough team selection.
agreed.
Luke – Vela on the right ? We had Arshavin, Van Persie and Fabregas, just like mid-week, Arshavin had Vela’s place.
Those players should be able to see out the game, either we learn to do that or we’re going to need everyone fit for the rest of the season.
Wenger ‘the lesson from today is to kill teams off.’
What the fuck was the lessen from midweek.
I think you guys are misunderstanding me. All im saying is, from todays eleven, I would rather see Vela in Ebways place. Ofcourse RVP, fab, aa, should be able to maintain a 2-0 lead. Im not disputing that. Im just saying, Ebway should not be used anywhere except right back.
vela or jack both have more than enough talent to be worth more than the likes of eboue and diaby .
why play them ?
if we know wenger wont spend at least play YOUR BEST!!!
cut all this DOWN TIME OUT trying to bring up players which so obviously will not make it as a regular star here ! and motor forward to a time where all the talent clicks .
then i agree with wenger that its only a matter of time ..
with lesser players in the team its not a matter of ‘when’ its a matter of IF !
Vela for EBoue wouldnt have to be like for like. We could just move Arshavin over and hav Vela on the left.
When trying to see out a game we either need someone to score the killer goal or someone to hold onto possession and Eboue is neither of the two. Not playing Eboue doe conceding late goals but you get the point.
stu
i think wenger has been very good with selections but also has very protevive of the players and not rushing them back which he was guity of last season,vela has been international duty alot plus he has been injured a bit too should not rushed he know his players hell of alot more than we do
Thats all true leon but even when Vela has been on the bench Wenger still hasnt played him much. If he isnt fit enough to come on then why have him on the bench.
zeus – I like Vela, I wouldn’t compare him to Walcott, if Walcott is bale to harness his pace and keep control at the same time he’ll be as devastating as Henry, maybe not as good, but we’ll have something deadly.
Same with Vela, it was his debut season last year and I don’t hold it against him, but I don’t want any of the players rushed in, I hoped for once we’d be able to use them from a position of strength.
They should’ve had a run out yesterday, but I’m guessing Wenger wanted to see out this game, so that the first team has a rest mid-week and we can see Vela and the rest of the kids on Tuesday/ Wednesday ?!
Luke – Vela should play mid-week, I don’t think Ebways that bad there, Vela hasn’t got used to playing on the left, playing him on the right in a new formation, I’d rather he was fresh for Liverpool.
If we’d had Walcott fit or trying to regain fitness, Vela and Walcott would have great to have mid-week.
I think wilshire would have done better than ebway today too if vela needed more time…
I’m extremely disapointed with the result today, West Ham were so poor and we were cruising at one point, ridiculous ref decsion regarding the freekick, it pissed me off before the goal went in and even more so after, but the penalty was probably a fair penalty but it was a stupid place to make that tackle, it was unneccessary, I’m really upset about this match cause we could of made up so many points and had the potential to go top had we won our games in hand, I’m just bitterly disapointed, we should have finished the game off, I wouldn’t of picked Eboue today, I would of liked to of seen Bendtner start instead…. I feel we need a victory over a team like Chelsea now to give us leverage back.
Saw some messages insulting Diaby, don’t know why… he had a good game, Song did to to be honest but that decsion at the end was very poor and costly…..
I hope we bounce back strong.
someone summed diaby up well. He had a good game for his standards, for arsenal standards or other cm standards, he was not good enough and rarely is.
People insulting Diaby today obviously don’t watch football properly, he had a good game, he won some good balls, looked sharp and was involved in one of the goals, stop mindlessly scapgoating players, childish.
I don’t blame Vela or anyone else, Fabregas was able to learn from a stable team full of experience and World Class stars.
We need to build that up again, and when the younger players need to come in, unless they’ve got a few games under their belt, they need to have as much experience in the side to help them along as possible.
Moving players around just to accomdate a younger, albeit talented player, is pointless.
We’ve had 14 games this year I think, Vela came back late from the Internationals missed I think the first month and then was injured, he’s been off on International duty again, and he’s only sat on the bench a couple of times when he’s actually been available.
Even then I wouldn’t start him ahead of Arshavin or Rosicky anyway.

————————————————–
No one is blaming diaby for the result. He gave away several needless free kicks in dangerous areas, one of which resulted in the first west ham goal which was the beginning of our decline. He gives away possession much to often and disrupts our passing rhythm. He also takes too many touches and either drives in and loses the ball of just passes to fabregas. Waste of space if you ask me, especially for an ambitious team like arsenal…
Diaby has been playing Arsenal standard, we should of won the game today, we didn’t due to not finishing the game off and a very poor ref decsion.
I think Diaby’s biggest problem is his inability to not tackle cleanly and thus he gives away his away his fair share of freekicks in VERY dangerous areas.
Mannone made a huge mistake today but Diaby gave away a needless foul that brought about the freekick.
Needless to say he is not the onlyone with this problem, Denilson is the same as well. I rate Denilson higher than Diaby though as he brings more to the game than the Frenchman.
That first comment wasn’t directed at you, people were linking the result to Diaby though, and he that wasn’t a free kick, the player ran into him deliberatly to try and get the free kick, he may of even pulled Diaby down to get it and make it look like a foul, he also was involved in the goal, he hasn’t always been good this season, had some very poor games, but in the last 3 or 4 he has been execellent and one of our best players in the team, he can’t be a waste of space since he was involved in the goal which he was, he looked very sharp today and has had great improvemnt recently.
zeus – It wasn’t a foul, simple as that, there is no way that was a foul, the ref fucked up, if anything it should’ve been a foul on Diaby.
Mannonne could of done better with the goal and Song made a stupid challenge, if we had to blame anyone today it would be Song, but I wouldn’t even blame him cause I think he had a pretty good game too buthe just made a needless decsion which cost us today.
How was he involved in the goal exactly? The first one sagna crossed, green missed, and rvp scored. Second was a gallas header. He was involved with west hams goal as he gave up the free kick. He seems more likely to score own goals this season then he does goals. He almost put another in at alkmaar that was a similar situation to the utd own goal.
Diaby wasnt awful today. It wasnt really a foul by him. Stupid foul to give away but it was Mannones fault for palming the ball back into play instead of our for a corner. And the penalty was harsh aswell.
They scored a free kick and a penalty. If only we were clinical like that. 3 fucking shots! Its just not fair.
Exactly Keyser, I was going absoloutely mad when that foul was given against Diaby because iaby was fouled, it infuriated me, I knew people would pick it out to scapegoat Diaby too when HE was fouled, it was a ridicuous and abysmal ref decsion that changed the game completly.
Luke did you watch the game? Who did the link up play with Sagna for the cross? Also he won tackles this game, he worked very hard, rarely gave away the ball and made great offensive runs and was involved in link up play.
luke – He was fouled, the ref fucked up, against Alkmaar it wasn’t exactly his fault that the ball flew at him off Van Persie head, in fact he did well to get it up and over the bar.
This is just simple scapegoating.
Stu – 3 shots ? What do you mean ?!
Found this on another blog….
“bemoaning players like Diaby, Mannone and even Arshavin – he didn’t have his best game but picking on a player of his class is nigh on stupidity.”, this isn’t the first time Arshavin has been a disappointment, no one should be absolved of criticism based on former performances, he may be a big name player, he needs to play like one or we will forget some of his performanceslast season , enough of treating stars like gods when they don’t back it up, week after week. They have the ability, now show us all the time, no messing about.
Couldn’t agree more.
Diaby played a 1-2 with Sagna before he crossed. Thats how he was involved.
Diaby wasnt bad today but he wasnt that good either and we need better players than him..regardless of him being a back up. He wants to be first choice so he should be playing better.
West Ham had 3 shots apparently Keyser. 2 goals from 3 shots is what i heard. Not sure tho but it wouldnt suprise me.
Ruler, just watched the highlight. All diaby did was hit pass it to sagna. It was a simple 1-2 pass. Nothing extraordinary. Good cross by sagna though. Diaby was mediocre today as he usually is. I can hardly see how someone thought he had a good game today.
Someone said Ibrahimovic scored an amazing free kick. Having just seen it i now beg to differ. It was right at the keeper but just had an amazing amount of power in the shot. Should have been saved imo.
Stu – Well said, I hope you apply that to all players.
Just checked the shots on and off target, West Ham had 15 or 16 attemtps depending on where you read and 9 or 10 on target.
luke, Sagnas cross wasnt good. Green palmed it right onto Van Persies left foot for a tap in. Diabys pass was better than Sagnas cross.
Fuck sake i cant believe im actually sticking up for Diaby.
makes two of us…
okay if sagna doesnt get credit for the goal diaby cant either. it was a simple 1-2 pass. Blame it on green then.
Stu – Did you watch the game ? Watch the build up and listen for the fans with their drums, it builds to a crescendo and when he hits the ball, it’s like a bullets just been fired, they must’ve had a mike in the ball or something or turned the background sound up.
Goalie should’ve saved it, because he could’ve had both his hands behind that, but for the distance it was one powerful shot.
No, it wasn’t anything spectactular, but he was involved, you said he was a waste of space, if he was just a “space” he wouldn’t of supplied the pass, true it wasn’t spectacular but he timed the pass well and placed it in exactly the right place, Diaby had an excellent run today too, he did a lot of good things, I watched his game very closely and he was far from medicore today, I’m sure the stats would back that up too, I’m neutral so I just speak honestly, Diaby had some really poor games this season, he gave the ball away needlessly and held on for too long, in recent games he’s REALLY improved that a hell of a lot, I feel he deserves credit for that.
No Keyser, all my sports channels are gone…not that i would have watched it if i could have.
It was an almighty shot tho..i’ll give major credit for that. Still doesnt excuse the weak goalkeeping tho.
dont the stats also say that either denilson makes more tackles then essein? Maybe it was diaby actually. Either way, id take essein to diaby or denilson any day.
Also he could of easily fucked it up, players often mess up the simple passes, and Diaby in the past has been guilty of this too, but today he did what he was supposed to in that aspect and was a valuable asset, in terms of selection the main change I would of had is Eboue for a more offensive player, I have nothing against Eboue but today I think a Bendnter type player would have been better,
Arsenal players do not mess up simple passes. Diaby is a fine cm, just I have higher expectations at a team like arsenal. I would love to trade diaby and some cash for either toulalan or gourcuff.
anyways im off. keep the faith.
It was Diaby and there not false stats, he actually does make a lot of tackles somtimes, today he won some important tackles, and I bet his running stats were excellent today too, his work rate for the most part was first rate, he’s really improving and getting where he should be, he played his part today, others let the team down, but he has no right to complain either cause he’s done it in the past too, like the Man U game, but credit where credit is due, he worked hard and put in a solid performance, I hope he keeps it up an further improves.
Peace luke, let’s hope we bounce back as we all still Arsenal fans and wish the best for the team irrespective of different perspectives regarding some team issues.
Last point you made though wasn’t true, Arshavin has messed up quite a few simple passes recenty.
For the CC I would start this team…
………………Almunia…………………..
Eboue/Gilbert…….Sendy……..Sylvest……..Gibbs
………………….Coquelin……………………..
..Ramsey…………………………………Merida
..Wilshere……………Vela…………….Nasri
I would have Bendy in reserve…..I would also want to give
Watt and Sunu a run out….maybe Randall as well.

Thats why I love le grove. Respect ruler
Ruler Fair play defending Diaby. But you are wrong about him, he’s a rubbish player and an absolute liability I blame him for losing us games and points.
He can fuck off.
he played good against portsmouth and has had flashes here and there but overall I dont rate him for arsenal. I would love to trade him +$ to either lyon or bordeaux for either jeremy toulalan or gourcuff
Luke I would trade him for a can of coke.
Still can’t believe that we blew a 2 goal lead.I know diaby and eboue are crap but thought that we could alteast get away with it against west ham.
For most of the teams the second goal is the killer goal.Very different in our case
lol…why do i see a few of u still defending diaby??
there’s a reason why everyone criticizes him….he’s a waste and that is it
I just hope we bloody sell eboue.Problem solved.Go buy a young cheap french attacking RB.As long as eboue is there in the squad he will continue to get chances.
coke is pretty tasty…ahahahah

get the 3 points ..
2 easy points have gone astray ,
the points table is tight and those 2 points could have really put us close to the top of the pile !

Morning guys
That is not what i meant ethan.These guys are proffesional footballers.Defending a 2 goal lead is something they should do.Players far less talented than ours wouldn’t let a 2 goal lead slip away.
You can blame Eboue and Diaby, and god knows I do, but who puts them on the pitch when he has the strongest bench available ever? Wenger.
we limped to 60 mins and we were still 2-0 up. the tide started turning. we couldn’t keep the ball. that game started to get away from us even before they scored the first one.
why didn’t wenger do something? you could see he looked frustrated but he left the same team on. Diaby and Eboue should have been off.
If Diaby and Eboue are playing badly then its up to wenger to act. Diaby was like a fucking statue after 60 minutes. It was pathetic, and we have been like this for years now. since vieira left.
Nasri and rosicky need to stay fit all the time.If they get injured instead of bring ramsey,vela or wilshere he will bring eboue and diaby
Nish – do you really believe AW will forsake his chosen few by playing Rosicky and Nasri in front of Diaby & Wboue???
I feel like that as well. if Nasri and Rosicky and others are fit, I still expect wenger to play Eboue and Diaby. thats why Arsenal wont win anything and its also why I wont be holding wenger back when he decides to leave us one day. He is far from perfect.
the whole team needs sacking

nothing short of disgusting the way they threw away that lead yesterday
We clearly lack leadership.Eboue kept trying to get past his man instead of just simply passing it.Someone should have fucking screamed at him.
mannone needs to fuck off and so does song,there not fit to wear the shirt
blessing in disguise.. i was not able to watch game because of load shedding!!!!
Mannone will NEVER be good enough. people talk about being young. what is he 21? should not be making basic errors at that age. I rate that young polish guy far higher already and he is only 18.
Fabianski has hardly had his chance but people seem to writing him off too early. I have seen far more in him than any of our other keepers.
Mannone fucks off to be replaced by who?
I’d have Mannone over Almuia anyday!!
New post!
