Jack Wilshere is targeting the quarter final game against shitty as his come back game, he hopes they will field their strongest side as he believes we can go on and win the Carling Cup.
I wonder how Kolo and Ade the whore will feel trotting out knowing we only field our babies in this one, how will they feel when they get stuffed by them? The last time Ade played in this cup was the time he head butted a team mate for daring to challenge him, let’s hope he does that this time, he’ll get a smack in the mouth if he did it to the Welsh runt Bellamy, now that would be funny!
I would love Arsene to go through our players and tell us which position he sees them in, so Vela and Nasri on the left, Rosicky, Wilshere and Theo on the right, and so on, just so we could wonder amongst ourselves who might play where.
Suffice to say, I can’t wait for this one, it smacks of that time our kids tonked the scousers 6-3, with Aliadiere and the Beast getting on the scoresheet.
Other news is Wenger is tracking Barcelona winger 18 year old Israeli Gai Assuilin. He is one of their finest young talents, and that would be sweet, sweet, justice for them talking to one of our young kids, Karma if you like.
Get in there Arsenal, that’s what you should be doing.
I don’t know who he’ll pick for the Carling Cup game, and I don’t know if Eastmond will have a better game again, but I would like to see him, Wilshere, Vela, Ramsey, Watt and Coquelin feature along with Eduardo, Eboue and Rosicky for experience, maybe even playing Theo up front with Watt.
We sure do have options, but I want to win this one, what do you think Grovers?
Have a great day debating, I’ll be on later.
check out this comment frm a blogger on the guardian:
Arsenal will be there or thereabouts come the seasons end. When all are fit, the variety of their attacking options are perhaps the best in Europe (yes, in terms of depth of quality, even more so than Barcelona and Real Madrid) Incidentally if they had one of Fletcher or Hargreaves in their team (not to replace Song but rather complement him), (and perhaps a backup centre back that wasnt Silvestre) I believe their squad would be complete. United by contrast could do with any of the plethora of attacking midfielders Wenger has at his disposal. Chelsea, despite a slight tactical inbalance regarding the postioning of Essien/ Ballack in their first choice midfield have the leagues most formidable squad with a number of big game players able to raise their performance when the situation arises. Ultimately it looks like it will be a three horse race and enjoyable to the seasons end. The romantic in me would like Arsenal to win it, logic suggests Chelsea but if Ferguson’s uses his squad with a greater deal of tactical consideration to mask the absence of a certain creative spark, I wouldnt rule United out of collecting their 4th successive title.
cudicini has been taken to hospital after a ‘serious’ motorcycle accident.
Yeah, 2 suspended.
But the fine is really pathetic, it would hurt him more if they gave him a chewing gum ban instead of the fine.
£37m on Nani and Anderson was mad. Anderson cost more than we’ve ever paid for a player. (I know we’re tight so no silly comments)
Cana is good for Sunderland but I wouldn’t want him near the club, doesn’t have the ability on the ball, and is another who’s a headless chicken. He’d never play ahead of Song, and I don’t see a situation where we’d play two DMs, one sitting, and another, Cana being high tempo tenacious running around kicking people.
rednose was supposed to be on a warning as well. The Fa are pussies. Manc loving cunts
The Duke of Le Grove is back, what’s on the agenda this afternoon? Also thanks to the replies on the Hornby and been spoilt debate, all answers have been read and noted
GM
agree – totally mad. rumour has it that ManU sold Ronaldo to help pay their debts and therefore they will not be buying big/star players this January window. if that is true, then imo ManU are defo heading for 3rd this year and will get raped in the Champions League.
nice read

GM, £37m on those 2 players who are yet to prove their worth (I’d pick Wilshere & Vela over them any day) and £31.75m on Berbatov who is way past his golden days (at Spuds). These few flop signings were the main reason Fergie was not allowed to spend a penny from the £80m ManU got from selling Cronaldo.
Fuckin pathetically typically weak FA!
Fining the scotch cunt a few quid instead of banningn him! Why am I even surprised?
Wenger gets a £20k fine for lookin at a ref funny and this cunt is allowed to abuse em at will…
apparently cudicini is in a “life changing situation” after his motorbike crash. They had the air ambulance out but didn’t use it. It was in walthamstow.
paul changing or threatening??
changing – ssn
Nick – according to the london evening telegraph website it’s a suspected broken pelvis, so shouldn’t be life threatening. Poor bloke though
I’m suprised they let him use a motorbike. I remember wright not being allowed to ride his harley.
fuck sounds like something wont work or will have to come off dont it
know his a spud but wouldn’t wish that on anyone poor cunt,great keeper till the chavs signed check out of the blue
GTS
i dnt think Berbatov is over the hill. i just think him and Rooney are too similar, hence why they haven’t been able to click and form a proper partnership.
me mate just said the same, richards at shitty has it in his contract he cant ride his bike
‘arry will be after david james in jan now.
its pretty normal they cant ride motorbikes and anything particularly dangerous. poor bugger, pelvis is a horrible one
Oh! Hes had a 2 game ban too

These few flop signings were the main reason Fergie was not allowed to spend a penny from the £80m ManU got from selling Cronaldo.
Do u think the main reason why Fergie hasn’t bought new players could also be the crazy amount of debt they have?
One of my clents who’s been a spud all his life said something interesting about players like keane and berbatov.When they play for the spuds the opposition think they can beat them and go at them giving them more space. When they play for pool or the mancs the other teams play more defensively and they don’t look so good. Apparently it makes them fortunes selling people like carrick for £20m
Shit, Life changin? does that mean he might be in a wheel chair???
ssn – fractured wrists and injured his pelvis. Should be okay then.
Suprised he’s allowed to ride a bike.
the police statement said life changing but now they’re saying it’s not as bad.
KM, Berba and Rooney are totally different in my opinion, but I guess everyone is entailed to theirs.
My argument would be that Rooney is a hard worker, who finds the net, Berba is lazy and stylish, more of an assister…
My manc colleague thinks count dracula is like cantona. I think he’s a lazy cunt
GM
interesting point. I also think that like Rooney, Berbatov likes to roam around the pitch, in the attacking 3rd…..getting involved in the build-up etc I think what ManU are lacking is a Torres/Anelka to race past defenders/stay around the box/finish off the chances. Berbatov is more like RvP of the past.
Duke
agree that rooney is more hard working/explosive and committed. However imo Berbatov is a very classy player. he should have stayed at Spurs, where it was a delight to watch him play.
GM I think his absolute pony, sulky over rated twat to be exact
interesting read….
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2009/nov/08/arsene-wenger-paul-hayward?showallcomments=true#start-of-comments
Gm good point re changing teams….
Look at Andy Cole…50 goals for the BarCodes followed by a very steep learning curve at Man U.
back l8r
KM, when ManU bought Nani & Anderson they were already in huge debt but they were winning & their owners put their faith in Fergie for new signings. Same thing happened when he signed Berbatov cos they won the Champions League. But this summer the situation was different when Cronaldo left for Madrid.
If it’s solely about their debt then expect Rooney’s departure in the summer as well cos the owners would want to pay off their debt and Rooney is the player they can get some really good cash for.
KM, I am sorry in advance for this comment, but it was a delight to watch spurs?
Duke i noticed that but let it go by,i know km aint a spud he loves the chavs too much
KM you say some funny things. I can’t think of anything being delightfull about the spuds.
GTS who would you see being in for rooney?
The amount ManU spent (I’d say wasted) on Berbatov, he should have been the top scorer in the league last season. They paid nearly £6m more then Liverpool paid for Torres (£26m) and he is the real deal once he is fit. Berbatov only managed to score 8 goals last season, Bendtner scored 8 goals but we didn’t pay crazy money for him…
you can’t call KM partisan can you lol
GM spuds relagation would delight me
Utd have a huge debt but they will not fade away without a fight. You can bet your bollocks Fergie wants the league wins record from his most hated rivals at Merseyside. If he achieves that I can see him fading away, whiskey on hand, into the sunset.
He’s the sort that wouldn’t give a tosh leaving the club in disarray, would only make his legend greater.
I was going to say a plane crash nick but thought better of it after cuddicini’s accident
http://irishsoccerinsider.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/french-and-irish-fall-out-over-box-incident/
Nick, probably Inter or Milan cos I don’t see him fitting in Barca or Madrid formation. Even though, Barca are rumoured to offer ManU £85m for him next summer which in my point of view is totally rubbish news.
Tell David that Stunner, he’ll rip your head off for any Bedntner comparisions to anything with more then one leg.
GM na tis a shame i think you need a bit of that to be fan
Stunner I reckon Rooney would replace Henry and be absolutely amazing on the left hand side of their system. Though if Barca have no money then that won’t be happening!
I thought Robinho was replacing henry
Just heard about Cudicini
No time for rivalry in times like this. I hope he makes a full recovery.
He looked a top top keeper at Chavski,and probably never fulfilled his early promise. I hope he can play again.
A, I read Cronaldo’s interview somewhere the other day where he said that he suggested Rooney to join him at Madrid next summer. I don’t see that happening if Madrid don’t win anything this season.
SUGA…that is fucking brilliant !!!

Seriously though. he aint got in him to ply his trade abroad. The only way that would happen is if Coleen fancied herself as Posh Spice mkII…

80,000 Blondes gathered at Wembley Stadium for a “Blondes-Are-Not-So-Dumb” convention. The master of ceremonies says, “We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not so dumb. Can I have a volunteer?”
One pretty little blonde steps up, so the master of ceremonies asks her, “What is 15 plus 15?” After 15 or 20 seconds, she replies, “18.” Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then 80,000 blondes start chanting, “Give her another chance, give her another chance.”
The master of ceremonies says, “Well, since we’ve gone to the trouble of getting 80,000 of you here along with media from all over the world, I guess we can give her another chance.” So, asks her, “What is 5 plus 5?” After 15 or 20 seconds, she replies, “90.”
The master of ceremonies sighs. Everyone is crestfallen and the blonde starts crying. Again, the 80,000 girls start chanting, “Give her another chance, give her another chance.” Unsure whether or not he is doing more harm than damage, the master of ceremonies finally says, “Okay! One more chance. What is 2 plus 2?” After 15 or 20 seconds, she replies, “4.”
The stadium of 80,000 blondes start chanting, “Give her another chance, give her another chance.”

i’m back! u guys couldn’t wait to put the knife in
i’m not a spurs fan!!! i was just saying that it was a joy to watch Berbatov play. He is a classy player. I dnt care that he played for Spurs nor would i have cared if he played for Hull. ppl on here admire Essien/Torres etc and they play for our rivals. I just think u guys got the wrong end of the stick.
So….Gerrard, Theo, Lampard,Ashley & Joe Cole all out.
I hope Brazil dnt embarrass England.
KM can you go again i wanna talk about you
KM, they’re just winding you up…
The truth is Berbatov was a class player when he played for Spuds. No doubt about that. He scored some great goals for them but he is nowhere near at his best at ManU. I also don’t see him getting any better as he’s been at OT for over a year now and he didn’t produce any performance you could remember.

A man walks into a bar and orders a 12-year-old scotch. The bartender, believing that the customer will not be able to tell the difference, pours him a shot of the cheap 3-year-old house scotch that has been poured into an empty bottle of the good stuff.
The man takes a sip and spits the scotch out on the bar and reams the bartender. “This is the cheapest 3-year-old scotch you can buy. I’m not paying for it. Now, give me a good 12-year-old scotch.”
The bartender, now feeling a bit of a challenge, pours him a scotch of much better quality, 6-year-old scotch. The man takes a sip and spits it out on the bar. “This is only 6-year-old scotch. I won’t pay for this, and I insist on, a good, 12-year-old scotch.”
The bartender finally relents and serves the man his best quality, 12-year-old scotch.
An old drunk from the end of the bar, who has witnessed the entire episode, walks down to the finicky scotch drinker and sets a glass down in front of him and asks, “What do you think of this?”
The scotch expert takes a sip, and in disgust, violently spits out the liquid yelling “Why, this tastes like piss,”
The old drunk replies, “That’s right, now tell me how old I am.”
City have Chelsea three days after the Carling Cup game with us so I’m not sure that they will be overly keen to risk their first team…unless they’ve given up on the League by then and desperate for a trophy.

One day Jane met Tarzan in the jungle. She was very attracted to him and, during her questions about his life, she asked him how he managed for sex. “What’s that?” he asked. She explained to him what sex was, and he said, “Oh,Tarzan use hole in trunk of tree.”
Horrified, she said, “Tarzan you have that all wrong! I will show you how to do it properly.” She took off her clothes, lay down on the ground, and spread her legs wide. “Here,” she said, pointing, “You must put it in here.”
Tarzan removed his loincloth, stepped closer and then gave her an almighty kick in the crotch. Jane rolled around in agony. Eventually she managed to gasp, “Why the hell did you do that?”
“Tarzan check for bees!”
Joe took his blind date to the carnival. “What would you like to do first, Kim?” asked Joe. “I want to get weighed,” she said. They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 117 and she won a prize.
Next the couple went on the ferris wheel. When the ride was over, Joe again asked Kim what she would like to do. “I want to get weighed,” she said. Back to the weight guesser they went. Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and Joe lost his dollar.
The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to next. “I want to get weighed,” she responded. By this time, Joe figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake.
Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, “How’d it go?”
Kim responded, “Oh, Waura, it was wousy.”
The pretty teacher was concerned with one of her eleven-year-old students. Taking him aside after class one day,she asked, “Little Johnny, why has your school work been so poor lately?”
“I’m in love,” the boy replied.
Holding back an urge to smile, she asked, “With whom?”
“With YOU!” he said.
“But Johnny,” she said gently, “don’t you see how silly that is? It’s true that I would like a husband of my own someday. But I don’t want a child.”
“Oh, don’t worry,” the boy said reassuringly, “I’ll use a rubber!”
The 10th grade teacher asks Jessica: “What part of the human body increases to 10 times it’s normal size when excited?”
Jessica responds: “That’s disgusting! I don’t have to answer that question!”
So the teacher asks little Johnny, who responds: “That’s easy…the pupil of the eye.” “That’s correct, Johnny. Very good!”
And turning to Jessica, she says: “I’ve three things to say to you, young lady… first, you didn’t do your homework; second, you have a dirty mind; and third, you’re in for a big disappointment!”
A circus owner walked into a bar to see everyone crowded about a table watching a little show. On the table was an upside down pot and a duck tap dancing on it. The circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy the duck from its owner. After some negotiations, they settled on a figure of $10,000 for the duck and the pot.
Three days later the circus owner runs back to the bar in anger, “Your duck is a rip off! I put him on the pot before a whole audience, and he didn’t dance a single step!”
“So?” asked the ducks former owner, “did you remember to light the candle under the pot?”

It’s time once again to review the winners of the Annual “Stella Awards.” The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck of New Mexico who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s. That case inspired the Stella awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United States.
Here are this year’s winners:
7th Place:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson’s son.
6th Place:
19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.
5th Place:
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner’s insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.
4th Place:
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor’s beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams, who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
3rd Place:
A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2nd Place:
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.
1st Place:
This year’s runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around.
Im sorry I forgot it isnt Friday
Am I in a timewarp?
LMAO Top three are great. Especialy 3rd place. I can imagine what that was like walking away all angery and sundenly sliping and breaking her tail bone.
No Big Raddy everyone is just bored. We have debated about shitty for long enough and there isnt much else to do.
Know the feeling Mr B. Shitty were my second team in the Bell/Summerbee era (probably long before you were born.). But now I think they are Devilspawn, hand assistants to Beelzebub and swallowers of man-juice.
Now my second team is Arsenal reserves
Gai Assulin is a Right Winger. He does have a bit of a Messi likeness about him. But Im not sure he’d fit into the team.
Manc perhaps you’re the blind one. I said many a time, if the marmites were replaced we’d be 4 points clear by now.
Me neither David. We have enough problems keeping the kids we have happy, and eventually we will lose the reputation for blooding and developing young talent, because there is no space in the first team for them apart from the CC.
I see us selling a few in summer.
Every team has marmites Geoff, if the current marmites were replaced then suddenly someone else would become a scapegoat for some, and an unsung hero for others
A, That is one of the certainties of football.
That I believe in the wonder of Bendtner and David thinks me insane, is part of the enjoyment of fandom.
I detested Perry Groves (not as a man), but others call him a ‘legend’.
Each to his own….
I do like that Ozin character though. Id be absolutely delighted if he came. The boy took England apart.
We do have to find who will take the place of Arshavin in the squad.
And no i dont think it will be Vela.
David, Arsh is 28, hardly the time to panic buy, let’s see how things go with Nasri and Vela.
A Very good read
http://goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2009/11/12/1620641/arsenal-special-thomas-vermaelen-stakes-claim-as-buy-of-the
Sorry i mean Ozil…Mesut Ozil.
The boy has a weird face but can he play.
I think we need to put everyone in context.
Diaby isnt looking like he will make it with us.
Ramsey is close and is already cover for Cesc.
Nasri is not a DM. He can play on either wing.
Mozart Sadly is gone. Or will stay on a 1year contract.
Theo is hardly fit…but will play on the right.
Bendy should be nowhere close to the team.
So that leaves room for Carlos and Boy Wonder
Not sure if Fran will sign a new contract.
I think there is still space for 1 or 2 players.
wilshere will take arshavin’s place in the squad, merida rosicky’s, sorted!
oh yeah, vela arshavin actually, merida rosicky, wilshere is just his own man
Too young. Too inexperienced. Injuries.
We’ve seen it all before.
huh David?! Neither will be going for a couple of years, by then they’ll be experienced enough to take over, and already competing for their places/keeping them out of the team!
Sorry A,
I like Vela alot but id rather he play centrally than outwide.
We all know Arsene wouldnt sign you if you are above 30.
Except your are Shitvestre.
Arshavin 2 years maybe 3 if we are lucky. Mozart 1 year or on a free.
Id rather a player like Fran and Rambo compete for the same spot than to play them together.
I wouldn’t David, not in the current system – you think we need someone bigger and more of a target man than VP, but would want Vela there?!
This system is built to suit vela amongst others, he’d neither a central forward, nor a wide man in a 4 man midfield, wide in a front three is perfect for him
Umm David he has a contract, even if he doesn’t accept the extension we have him for a bit. As for Vela I think he has the saem qualities as Arsh and could thrive as a LS.
Agreed to an extent A
Vela is talented in the 4-4-2 as well.
Even makes Bendtner look good.
Last time he played with Eduardo he got a goal and bagged in a few assists is what im saying.
We are yet to see Vela in the new system yea?
Rosicky at least one year David! There’s no way he’ll go on a free.
Merida and Ramsey are different types of players imo, and different footed, I would want them playing together, not going for the same positions. Ramsey and Merida with Vela and Wilshere out wide will probably end up being back up/replacements for Cesc and Nasri, with Arshavin and Rosicky out wide.
Quite the opposite.
They do have some similarities except for the fact that Arshavin is 2-footed and he scores from pretty much anywhere on the pitch.
Yeah to an extent David, apart from pre season, and a brief cameo in the League Cup, though it’s the system he excelled in at Osasuna, and does for Mexico
Arsenal team in 3-4 years no new signings.
Fab
Sagna-Verm-Ayling/Bartley-Gibbs
Ramsey-Coqelin-Nasri
Theo-Nik-Vela
I’m assuming Fab has left and RvP makes sub appearances because of arthritis.
Mexico play a 4-3-3?
Wow.
Im pretty sure it was a 4-4-2 with that dos santos boy supporting and Blanco in the hole.
Yeah Arshavin’s 2 footedness is amazing, though there isn’t another player in the world who is that two footed so we won’t find a perfect replacement for him! I really think Vela will be competing with Arshavin by the end of the season. Arshavin is capable of doing things that Vela can’t, but Vela I think will be more involved and fit into the system more than Arshavin does at times.
Mayank…Watt will take Bendy’s place.
I think we need someone who’s not fitted into the system at all times. Arsh provides an excellent foil to the rest of our team, his directness and effectiveness is something to behold.
Yeah David, that’s what they’ve played when I’ve seen them, Vela and Dos Santos either side of the central striker, be it Blanco or Sabah, and Vela and Dos Santos switching sides with each other
Mesut Ozil, Mario Balloteli, Edin Hazzard, all on my Christmas list.
I think we should go for Marcos Senna again in January.
Mayank you’ve got no Wilshere there, nor Merida! Wilshere especially
I don’t know David you tell me…
Sorry for the bad joke it’s late here…:D
Agreed
I think when Cesc scored his second against the Spuds they were suprised by his directness.
Its refreshing to see it instead of the constant side to side football.
I hate to say it but it was Rooney-esque.
Oops!
Well Theo central and JW right.
Rooney-esque my ass, it was Maradona-esque..
