There are many things I find crap about international week.
1) The fact the comments section seems to turn into a warzone almost immediately. Bloggers take time out to really hammer home their dislikes, their beliefs and it all becomes a bit personal a bit too quickly.
2) The fact that I reckon only about 10% of football fans actually support international football these days. Lets be honest, watching England is for Championship supporters… it gives your every day civilian in the UK the chance to go down the pub, get a little rowdy and maybe have a fight with a few of the local strawberry pickers.
3) You notice that David Beckham has changed his hair cut to look like yours, I don’t think I need to elaborate on how horrific that is for someone older than 14.
4) You find yourself actually clicking the links to the Daily Mirror website and reading articles that state David N’gog’s dive should have been against Arsenal for moral equilibrium to be restored in the world, or other fascinating snippets, like the woman driving the car Cudicini crashed into was an Arsenal fan, like a man smashing his pelvis to pieces is supposed to have somesort of humourous edge to it. Real piss poor journalism manages to get hits. The Daily Mirror, bar Steve Stammers, really is the toilet of the news arena.
5) Barcelona tell Arsenal they’d like to marry their wife, but it would be too disrespectful to talk about it in public. Apparently he is pretty ‘cule’. I’m not really sure what that means, but it seems to me it could be the word ‘cool’ phonetically spelt in scouse. I can’t be bothered to google it, so it’ll have to sit on the pile of other unsolved mysteries I’ve got stacking up (why don’t McDonald’s serve mayonnaise? Has a mobile phone ever exploded someone’s pacemaker in a hospital? When was the last time a Nintendo game boy fell a plane?).
I hope today’s post has spread a little joy into your life… I’m off to baracade my back door. The river that is flowing through my garden is looking slightly menacing!
See you in the comments!
P.S. If you have any spares, send them my way. I’ve got loads of takers!
Mang that article was out ages ago! We probably won’t know the full extent and get an accurate estimation for a couple of days. That Dutch article, not the national team one but the one from a dutch paper said 1 to 10 weeks so you never know!
ssn – he’s having tests tomorrow.
MG,
Dudu, Theo and Rosicky are too unreliable fitness wise, Bendtner, Nasri is not fully match fit, Bendtner won’t be for some time, Vela and Wilshire are not quite there yet (despite bags of talent), which leaves us with Arshavin…
gamble? fuck yes…
guys he’s got the all clear apparently the latest is he’s only broken a toe nail,thank fuck for that
@ BBK
Your right in a sick twisted sort of way. We were glad to hear Cuntley Cunt, Fat Frank and Drogba being out for a month. We orget just how much lady luck likes to spit on us and give us the brunt of her wrath. She continues to smite us with her mighty smite.
fuck Sky just said RVP is bad, 2 months out!!!
Keyser;
Who am I renouncing this time???
W’re not winning fuck all again. This isn’t just the RVP injury, cause there will be plenty more.
No one, and I mean no one has the same mother fucking problems when it comes down to injuries. For the past 3 seasons on physioroom.com, Arsenal have always topped the fucking table.
Its not that we don’t have depth, but how much fucking depth do you need!!!!!!?!?!?!?!! FUck our luck. We’re cursed.

raynor;
No they didnt!
Eduardo isn’t unreliable SUGA, and Theo has sorted his shoulder thing, which is the reason he was unreliable.
Nasri has been fit for nearly a month now, I’d say he’s about match fit by now. Vela is there too imo, and Bendtner is only 2 and a half weeks out….
sorry. Just seen everybody talking about this….ignore me, carry on as you were
at least we’ll have an excuse if we don’t win anything.
Fuckers at daily mail are talking about missing the rest of the season. I will wait on official news tank you very much.
Suga3;
Jeeez, give it a rest with the doom mongering…Leave that shit to BBK and Pat!
Pat I hope we don’t win fuck all again
ManGoonian – BBK, he was trying to lure you in like the Siren that he is.
for official news add at least another month.
Coach Bert van Marwijk said in a first reaction: “This is particularly bad for Robin. And for his club and for us. The experiment with him in the striker was already after eight minutes in the trash. “
drogba out for a month?
says who?
http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/598899/LIVERPOOL-are-ready-to-poach-Eduardo-from-rivals-Arsenal-in-a-pound10million-deal.html
Eduardo certainly won’t be lacking in first team football now!
it’s not just luck, our medical staff must be shit – how is it that Milan are able to play a bunch of fucking pensioners in the league where you get kicked in particularly nasty way week in week out?
we are lacking enforcers too – Song is a good DM, but I cannot see him having enough mean streak and the special kind of intelligence to kick someone deliberately and get away with it…
it’s quite the opposite actually – collects bookings left right and centre for clumsy fouls, and if he gets one v The Mackems we are screwed…
The News of the World’s rubbing it in by starting on Eduardo aswell, we’re running out of strikers, oooh Nooo..
ha ha just read that a,he certainly can’t be complaining about lack of matches
MG, you obviously don’t see that all of our attacking play revolves around him for the most part.
I’ve had enough of speculating. I’ve accepted the worst.
choy apparently despite being declared injured by chelsea, the ivory coast medical staff demanded he turn up for an examination, and their x ray showed he’d broken a rib from the karate kick by Evans.
Did evans ever get charged for that?!
they can have eduardo if they send (a fit) torres our way.
A, MG – it’s not doom mongering, it’s just a cool headed assessment: pessimism is just optimism when you have accurate information
SUGA3 – Because it takes them 3 minutes to complete the nasty tackle. They barely move.
A;
That Eduardo story is a complete load of garbage. Pure bollocks, baseless and totally untrue.
And as you say, he will get a lot more starts from now won’t he…?
SUGA3 the Italian league is much much slower paced, so players can play longer, and get injured less.
It’s not intelligence to kick someone and get away with it, it’s cheating, and I’d rather our players not do it!
Yeah the Eduardo story is laughable, but just ironic that they print it just as Eduardo will be a regular for the next few months! As if we’d sell him to Liverpool for 10 mil anyways, it’s just silly
Suga3;
No mate, its your opinion, flawed and half baked as it is!
could be 4 months for rvp fucked up, worst news all season
I think the solution 2 VP injury is this
DM Song
CM Fabregas AM Nasri
RWF Arshavin CF Eduardo LWF Vela
at least we’re not reliant on rvp for goals. They have been shared throughout the team.
A,
stop being naive – I’d rather have a fire breathing monster in the mid just to be there so that Taylors and Nolans of this world wouldn’t get any funny ideas: ‘rather them than me’ seems fair enough…
So guys…realistically if Robin is out for 2-3 months..how do you see our title challenge?
One thing is for sure…our team will be ultra short now with Bendy and RVP out…..
So you know that means teams will really up the ante at set pieces etc….
I just hope we can keep pace until RVP comes back..we wont have him for any of the big games….unless we go deep into the CL or FA cup..
We will certainly have him back for the run in against the lesser teams though….
The friendlies should be outlawed…especially since the rankings seems rigged anyways….
Bendtner and Eduardo can’t play like RVP does. The best option for us is to buy CHamakh. In terms of linking up, he’ll fill in very nicely for RVP and he’s also much more of a CF. Might miss some easy chances on the ground, but an absolute beast in the air.
Bang on the money Paul, and Eduardo is going to score lots as well.
Pat;
The same RvP who loads of people on here were saying was wasted as the front man?
Now we will just have to adapt won’t we? Its a fucker, but thats show business…
I can guarantee you Drogba and Lamps will be fit against us, as will Cashley. He played against United with the injury, why can’t he play against us?
7 goals 7 assists and thats just league i think we are gona really miss him
pat i agree
Mark;
Of course we will miss him, but i think we would miss vermilli more, if he was out for 2 months…
We will certainly miss him but it ain’t the end of the world. It’s not like we’re liverpool without torres.
A,
agreed, it’s slower paced, but these are fucking 40 year olds we are talking about and our players who are supposed to be in their prime are dropping like flies – we seem to have around 8-10 players injured at all times, don’t tell me it’s OK…
MG, I really don’t care what loads of people said cause most people don’t know what they’re on about.
We will suffer and it starts against Sunderland. Its a big psychological blow to the squad cause whenever we get going, these FUCKING international breaks come up. Blatter can go die. Fucking cunt and his useless fucking scheduling.
I had high hopes for this season and they depended on Cesc, RVP, Song, and our CBs.
No one can replace him, but I do not believe we will fail to adapt neither do I believe we’ll stop creating chances nor that Eduardo will waste many. He will score different types of goals but don’t doubt our Crozillian’s ability to score. The team is perfectly suited for a player like Eduardo, which is why Wenger bought him in the first place when Henry left, we create tons of chances and we’ve been short of a poacher.
this news is as bad as we could have hoped for
niki b or eduardo cant play like van p
Before you have that cow Pat, lets see how we actually do against the almighty effin Sunderland before we do like you and write off our season…
Eduardo is the future…All hail Eduardo!
Pat:
We will suffer and it starts against Sunderland.
—————————–
Bah Humbug, we’ll beat Sunderland.
We are really underestimating Eduardo big time people relax as long as Eduardo gets his chance upfront we’ve got nothing 2 worry about
You are missing the point a bit i think…
You do not expect a different player to come in and exactly replicate that injured player… They will play their own game…
Eduardo can play the role, HIS way, IMO.
But I am soooo bored of having to defend Arsenal players…
in the end, we will continue to shoot ourselves in the foot unless Wenger will compromise some pace and agility in favour of weight training – what is the point of having a bunch of Maradonas if you just never get them all fit at once?
and again, it is all about winning stuff – this is a result business, not fucking Paralympics with all this ‘It’s the taking part, dear’ bullshit…
The new formation has many benefits. It suits loads of our players so that a lot of them can come in and fit in…
Im gonna stick a score on Eduardo being top goal scorer!
I’ll be here to laugh when we don’t get 3 pts. against Sunderland. I think we have enough to win, obviously, but all the top team have found it tough against Sunderland.
Why did it have to be RVP? WHy not Arshavin or nasri? FFS our best player always has to get injured. Chillieni was treating the game like some sort of World Cup semifinal. He was the only one actually trying his hardest ffs. He was all over the place with his tackles
I swear half of the people moaning were complaining that Van Persie and the other strikers weren.t scoring enough at the start of the season and the formation didn’t really suit them.
Suga3;
Do you think all our players do, is practice ballet or something?
I imagine there might be a few weight training sessions in there you know…
This is getting ridiculous if it was 1 of the CBs or Song I could understand VP has been outstanding 4 us but seriously Eduardo is getting sharpness back as long as he stays fit we’re fine. But Wenger must play him through the centre.
Keyser;
Exactly mate…
we now have to rely on a player who for me the jury is still out on (yes i said it) he has yet to score goals on a week in week out basis, and has yet to convince wenger hes worthy of a starting place yet
i like eddy and he will score goals, most would playing with our lot, the question is can he do it week in week out like van p has
stats dont lie van p has contributed to 14 goals in 10 games in the league this year and that will be hard to replicate
Lineup for Sunderland ???
……………………Al…………………………
Sagna……..Gallas/Senderos………Vermaelen…….Gibbs
……………………Song………………………..
……Cesc…………………………….Nasri……..
..Rosicky……………Eddy……………….Arsh/Vela….
and what difference does it make exactly Keyser?
Metal;
I agree and I think Eduardo will be played centrally…
Pat – just read back what you just wrote and see if you want to make anything a bit clearer..
Pat Says:
November 14, 2009 at 23:42
I’ll be here to laugh when we don’t get 3 pts. against Sunderland.
—————–
We won’t be seeing you after the match then.
MG,
definitely not enough – Wenger is said not to be the biggest fan of this, as it has negative effect on pace and ability…
fair enough, you want a bunch of midgets to mingle with ‘normals’, get them a bouncer, ffs…
Eduardo is a great player who is suffering a lack of confidence. He’s missed too many sitters so far this season. Hopefully he’ll get a few against Sunderland.
We have to be more direct with Eduardo.
SUGA3 – What are you on about Weight training ?!
Heh were you one of the people ? If you can’t work out the difference then there’s not much point in conversating.
Pat;
You’re be laughing if we dont beat Sunderland???
Oh dear…
*agility
Keyser, I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if Sunderland beat us. I think we’ll win, but you all are guaranteeing we’ll win. I think it’ll be one of those days where we struggle to find our rhythm. I thought that before the RVP injury and I still think that
Suga3;
I suggest you satop posting stuff till you aint soooo effin high mate!
Denilson, Vela and Theo, not to mention Cesc and RvP are players who have bulked up…
You really are chatting some random shit mate…
SUGA3 – Where did you read that about Weight training and so on ? Wenger doesn’t like them starting on weights too early because it stunts growth and can hinder technical development, not later on once they’ve grown into their bodies, look at Fabregas now.
Funny how the Mancs rarely ever get injuries while its the norm for us.
Keyser,
get off your fucking high horse, will ya?
point is that the formation did not suit RvP in the beginning of the season, now that he found his feet there, some Italian fuck just couldn’t help himself and have a wank or something before the meaningless friendly to get off some steam and not play as if his miserable life was at stake…
Mark G please some persepctive Eduardo has been injured throughout the season has hardly played any games 2 get his sharpness (though recently he has) and of course goals means confidence if you’re suggesting VP is a better finisher then Eduardo something that even the most hardcore VP fan would never be brave enough 2 claim then say it but you’re opinion on Eduardo is unfair and clearly has not been thought with consideration.
Why was Chiellini playing so hard for a fucking friendly?
Anyway Karma will strike and Italy will drop out first round in the World cup
At least Cesc only played 30 mins…hopefully he doesnt play the full 90 in the other game as well…
Atleast we know that Sunderland wont park the bus….we will get chances and a back to form Eduardo will bury them…
I am not worried about Sunderland….I am just worried out the length of time RVP will be out and whether or not he come back at the level he was before….
MG,
look at the usual suspects mate – not the stockiest characters, are they?
People don’t realize how vital RVP was to this system. Its not just his goals and assists.
Pat – Was just saying about the laughing bit, don’t turn into some of the gimps you get on here that try to rub it in when we’ve lost.
Strangely enough I’m always aware of the dangers any team can pose, but they’re without Cattermole and Jones, thats got to be something, we should just wait and see on the Van Persie injury, even then it’s a long long season ahead of us.
OK, van persie was in very good form. But our season is not over yet!! Eduardo is very good, and i trust him. But personally i see vela instead of him! This is the chance for Vela. Come on guys if you think that this is a shit line-up than you are not serious!
almunia,sagna,gallas,vermealen,gibbs
nasri,song,fabregas
rosicky/nasri/walcott(he trains this week),eduardo/vela,nasri/arshavin/vela
We have a very good squad. And this is a must know!!!
RvP is not out for the rest of the season, v,marwijk came out and said that it will be 10 weeks! So two months. Trust in vela and eduardo. WTF guys, we can win the title without RvP!
MG, Eduardo has been anything but a good finisher this season. He’s had our worst misses of the season I think.
SUGA3 – High horse ? heh.
Point is, there wasn’t any real reason for concern then, but people tried to find one, Van Persie’s out, but then it doesn’t mean we can’t work around it, this year we’ve scored goals from almost everywhere, we could probably put Vermaelen up front.
Dutchman,
the only way we can win things is when we keep our key players fit and RvP was the main cog in the attacking 3…
Suga3;
I like the way you are sticking to your guns… BUT, this idea all the players need to be huge brick shit houses is an out dated concept, IMO… Body strength is important and I am sure that gets worked on, at the right time…
yep eddie can step up.. he did it the season before last and i’m sure he can do it again.
get well soon rvp
rvp’s missed more pat
Keyser,
like Pat said, it’s not just goals and assists, it’s the attention, pulling oppo players out of their positions, etc.
Pat with all due respect do not exarrage mate I am all 4 criticisiing players if they deserve it but exaggeration is something I cant stand he’s missed one sittier the other chances he would have most likely burried had he been sharp with soaring confidence but the chance 2 chip Gomes was the sitter that’s it.
Pat;
Look, you are on a downer, that is clear… But Eduardo has not exactly played regularly.. But, if the news is confirmed and RvP is out for a while, then he will get games and he will score…
Keyser, no. I wouldn’t actually laugh, but I would be cunt about it and I’ll admit it. They were without Jones and cattermole against Spurs but played some brilliant stuff at the Lane. Bent buries that pen and they’d win the game imo.
Turner is out for them too though, so thats better for us
SUGA3 – Weren’t you alos asking for Vela to be given more time ?!
Look at all the options we have, Vela’s pace will pull players in different directions, obviously I’m not guaranteeing it will work right away, but how many different options do all these players give us.
Arshavin seemed to be having a quiet few games and then popped up with 3 assists in a game.
Pat;
You keep goinm on about this immense amazing performance against the spuds, like it was the best game in history…
They lost 2 effin nil though!
I’ll take that thanks fella!!!
Pat – As long as you remember you’re being a cunt about it, I don’t get why anyone would do that, actually thats fucking ridiculous.
If we win I’m not going to rub it in your face because at the end of the day we both want Arsenal to win ?!
SUGA, come on, what a bullshit!! Yes, he was good. But for the season begins we always talked about eduardo(how good he is). And now RvP played beautiful,is injured and our title can we forget. WHAT A BULLSHIT!! We will that vela played more games, this is his chance. We will that eduardo play games, he can!! Trust the team. We are not a team that rely on one person!
MG,
it’s not about being the big lumps, it is about strengthening the key areas of the body where the injuries are most likely to occur – if you are ‘bigger’, you are even more likely to survive a fucking car crash, let alone some kicking during the game…
looking back at the Invincibles – they were big and more than able to stand their ground, now we have plenty of flair players and no enforcers: I liked the way Fabregas kicked Repka a few seasons ago in the CL for trying to rough us up and talking shit before the game – what happened? I’d rather have a few cups than fucking halos…
Pat I realize how vital VP is trust me and had some strong words 2 say about his consistency and his finishing when the season started and he shut me up and made me eat humble he is by far techniquly speaking the best striker in the counrty but seriosuly relax what Eduardo lacks in VP’s creativity he makes up 4 in ice cold finishing as soon as he scores gets more and more minutes and crucially confidence you’re gonna wonder what the fuss was about VP is a player we do need back but Eduardo you just have 2 remember is the best finisher at the club and IMO with games will easily prove 2 be the best finisher in the country RELAX there is nothing 2 worry about trust me as long as Eduardo is played through the centre the goals are gonna keep flowing in.
Look its disapointing obviously, but this is a chance for others to come in and do a job and luckily, we do actually have players who can come in…
Time will tell, but, once again, i fail to see any possible reason to be goin on like we have lost games, BEFORE we have actually played them!?!?
There’s loads of opportunity to be all gloomy if we lose…
Keyser,
regarding Vela, yep, I’m a big fan, but I am not holding my breath – Wenger will not play him, we have:
- Diaby
- Bendtner
- Eboue
and yes, he will play them all upfront…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haoGpaWMaww
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XcSEkfQfMA
Bendtner is injured, Diaby wont play in that forward position and Eboue wont either… Not in front of Vela anyways… maybe infront of vermilli though…
Maybe RvP shouldve done some weight training on his ankle muscles Suga3???
Suga3 – FFS, don’t start that now, Bendter’s out, Vela’s coming back to fitness finally and it’s obvious he’s going to play unless Eduardo gets a run instead.
Diaby doesn’t play in Vela’s position nor does Ebway.
As a RVP fan I’m very very disappointed that he will be missing in action….. really…I’m depressed rite now…but I trust our squad too.. I’m 100 % certain someone will step up and fill the void….. Eduardo,Vela, Arshavin, Theo can all play as strikers..and trust me We will win games easily even now….. RVP will be missed but he’ll be back and help clinch the title comfortably…..
Wish he recovers soooon!!!!
I cant belive some of us are feeling insecure

Come on you cant be serious.
keyser.. actually they do
choy – Eh ?!
diaby and eboue have both played in the front two positions
diaby has played on the left and eboue on the right!
i just hope the team gets over the injury mentally….there is absolutely no reason why we cant win …… I just dont want the fellows to think too much about it…remember how Eduardo’s injury fucked our season ….Just the mental shock of that injury broke us apart…. I dont want it to happen again….
just last week all of us were drooling over how many attacking options we have and now with one player down u guys seem to be knocked out already… We have a lot of options and I am sure we will continue scoring for fun……
Choy – We’ve had this conversation I think, Vela hasn’t played much, if at all on the right, so thats out, unless you’re saying he should play there, which is comething else completely, Diaby’s played there when we’ve had injuries.
We’ver also got Nasri back and Walcott to call on hopefully.

Exactly guys, it doesn’t look bad. We have a good squad and don’t forget that fabregas can give meufifull balls to everyone in the field. And for the another time!! RvP will be out for 10 weeks or less. Tomorrow we know more.
What I would say about RVP ; he’s an awkward fucker.
His movements, taking swipes and leaving his foot out to pasture, leaving it open to potential contact with an opposing player.
Many times this season I’ve thought “oh shit, he’s done something”, and here we are.
Step forward, Carlos Vela.
Ardentgooner I don’t think we lost games becuz of the shock of Eduardos injury ‘that season’ but more becuz Adebayor refused 2 pass 2 Bendtner and kill that game of and becuz we had cover like senderos in the back and Bendtner up front which explains all those draws. Are squad is much much stronger and efficient then that of that year.

rosicky/nasri/walcott,eduardo/vela,vela/arshavin
Beautiful teeam!!!
I don’t know what some of you talking about, but vela,denilson and walcott are traing this week. So they are avaible!
Metal our draws were nothing to do with who was up front and who was in defence. VP was playing when we had the draws! It was a total lack of creativity in midfield without Cesc and Rosicky. We created no chances at all, I really don’t see that happening now, Cesc, Arshavin, Nasri, Rosicky, and even Ramsey, Merida, and Wilshere are all creative players, unless all but one or two of them are injured I think we’ll be fine!
Everyone knows we play 433
Eboue has been played all over the pitch.
Diaby has played on the left of the front 3, it could happen again.
Of course it COULD happen… But i just dont think it will, well, not at the expence of vela anyway…
I’d be surprised to see Vela AND Theo start together. I reckon we’ll usually have one direct player, and one playmaker, so one of Theo and Vela, and one of Nasri and Rosicky, but not usually either of those pairs. Though Arshavin is kind of both so he could play on the opposite flank to any of them!
Why do people say Theo is back training, is that confirmed??
Other sites ar saying also that he will be out for 2 months!! I’am happy with that.
choy eboue has only played anywhere other than right back 4 times this season, and only away at utd there were real alternatives. diaby has played left of the front three once this season
As good as RVP has been this season, I would prefer him to be injured rather than Arshavin, Nasri, Rosicky, and Fabregas.
RVP still has some flaws in his game. He lacks real pace over the top, can be immobile in tight spaces. We might be bit more flowing in the final third with a Vela or Eduardo.
RVP’s quality at set-pieces and his general consistency are a big loss though. One of the most efficient players around.
I think he’s back in training after the break.
A you do know I was talking about the season after Henry left if u do then you are incoreect about Fab not being in the team we had Hleb and Fab who we’re defintly in the team and Rosicky was injured 4 97%/98% of that season so Rosicky injury is ireelevant we coped fine without him but Wenger the stubborn git played Eboue on the wing 4 practically the whole season when he had Walcott who could offer more and eventually it hurt us big time.
yeah choy that’s what Wenger said, so starts training a week monday, but others have said he’s back
So I read the bad news… Calvin Harris chucked off x-factor… what a bummer?
Oh… and our best striker out with ligament damage.
Fucking lovely… it’s never your out of form striker is it?
What a joke…
Big opportunity ahead for someone….
Right, catch up with you all tomorrow!
so is that 5?
guess who was on the bench at OT?
point is that wenger has his favourites and i hate to see the likes of vela, eddie, theo missing out gametime and someone else playing in their positions.
but i think we’ll be ok.
ah ok metal, i thought you meant last season, apologies. Theo was very young back then though. I was confused because you said Bendtner played, and he barely played at all that year
no choy, 4 including utd, in all comps.
vela hasn’t been at the club and fully fit once this season! now he is he’ll play much more, you’ve not seen a fully fit vela or theo missing out on gametime to eboue once this season, nor a fully fit eduardo!
Has anyone the ramsey goal????
Choy 2 true that’s the problem we’re all 2 familiar with in regards 2Wenger’s player selection.
Dutchman it’ll be on 101 great goals, nice goal, good assist for the first too
