Robin Van Persie has now put a nail in the coffin of our chances of silverware this season, do the good people of the Netherlands pay? Not unless they support the Arsenal they don’t, no I’ll tell you who pays, we do, the Arsenal fans.
It’s total bollocks, yet again another worthless friendly, yet again fragile Robin goes down whilst representing his country and yet again Arsene Wenger can blame injuries for wrecking our season.
Arsene, we get injuries every year, last season the big ones were Theo, Rosicky, Eduardo, Cesc and Gallas, this season the big ones are Rosicky, Theo, Bendtner, Denilson, Djourou and Robin, the pattern here is we will always get injuries, so if you sell a world class striker, replace him, because as sure as eggs are eggs, we’ll need one soon enough.
When players got paid £2k a week and England paid them the same, there was some method behind the madness of players turning out for their country, MONEY, when players are getting £80k a week from their club the priorities have changed, it’s not equal anymore and the fixtures should change in order to reflect that.
Why not carry on the EPL during the Internationals and do it with the players that don’t travel with their countries, it would be the same for everyone, I don’t remember this many England games years ago, I really don’t. I also remember when George Graham was manager we played Saudi Arabia and had 6 Arsenal players on the pitch, I was dead proud, now I’d be horrified.
When you speak to fans, most of them don’t give a rats arse about England games, except for the World Cup and the Euros. I remember always going to England home games, I remember watching Overmars and Bergkamp scoring to make it England 2 Holland 2 and more or less knocking us out of the world cup in 1994, I can even remember going to Frankfurt to watch England play Paraguay in the last world cup, but now, I’m totally uninterested, for me it’s Arsenal, watching England is like watching the odd rugby game or the 20/20 cricket.
It’s time the teams that paid these players wages hit back and said no, we pay the player extortionate wages, if you want them to play for you, you can use them in the holiday period. We’re independent enough now not to need UEFA.
The BBC just said that Robin could be out for 6 weeks, well if that’s the case, that’s good news, but we all know the boss and injuries, so expect 2-3 months, either way we need to buy.
Arsenal against all the odds have a real chance to win the Premiership this year, injuries are part and parcel of the game, so we need to ready our fringe players, get shot of those we have no intention of keeping and buy a few that can genuinely help us over the line.
We can’t do anything until January, but at least we can start the process. Come on Arsene, do the right thing, we have been patient. It won’t cost much.
Ken
That’s fair enough. I’ve got nothing against Irish people but I can’t support the team.
Goonermichael,
That’s cool, we’re like the same but opposite or something..
We have the Arsenal in common though
Ken, you are racist.
I don’t really like England much (football team) either
Absolutely.
im english and would prefer the irish in the finals over the french.
Small nation, great fans, its good for the game
Its kinda difficult for me Goonermichael, what with having an Irish mam!
But I have to say, Ive got more beef with the scots! Now, there hatred for us is unbelievable…
Pedro
Damn, I’ve been found out, dirty fecking racist that I am.
And they’ve got that “I want to be roy keane” cunt fletcher
I’m happy for New Zealand though
ooh good point gm
fletcher…
i retract my previous statement.
shit now im in a muddle lol fletcher is scottish isnt he?
Who could hate the New Zealand team eh?!
Did you know they have the highest percentage of rape per 1000… in the world. Wellington is not a place to be out on your own if you’re a lady.
Who qualified from Africa?
No Incesc, he’s a cunt.
lol indeed he is a massive cunt
I love the way people say the mancs would have won the CL with fletcher. In their fucking wet dreams tossers
Mango hows it going….
Afternoon All..
Great post Geoff Thx mate…its an easy solution to all this…get RvP well and then sell him asap..then we should also sell Rosicky…and Senderos are sure to be gone…then if Theo doesnt show that he can stay injury free..sell him too…its as Geoff said the internationals seems to be nothing but trouble…seemingly Diaby is injured too..sell him…
Let us at least get rid of those injury proned feckers..and then buy some MEN..who can tackle a tackle
other than that its another snowy but splendid day in Arsenal Paradise…Ramsey starting to shine..Wermy got a goal..Arshavin played very well…and Vela is back…lets rockn roll…
A christmas wish..a new first aid kit which i will personally send to Wenger including a fiver..lets hope he gets the hint …
tom
Pedro new Zealand is a scary gaff…looked into going out there for the best interest of the kids thought it was best for them to be foreign in some one else’s country rather then their own.
The crime figures are scary, safer here at least you know where not to go and the types to avoid out there who knows
GM i thought we were buddies im of that thinking
Nick;
All good bruv…
tom;
Has the Sun completely disapeared already? That 24 darkness is clearly affecting you dude! I suggest one of them lamps that gives off Sunlight and vitamin E too…
yep and ramsey raped him in the friendly..
This Is Appreciated: An Instant Update On RVP From A Dutch TV Viewer
He was just on the phone with Jack van Gelder on the tv program Studio Voetbal. Robin says he will be out for about 4 to 6 weeks. He will get another scan tomorrow and will also consider going to Yugoslavia for a special treatment.
With regards,
Rogier Monderen
and maybe a nap
Yugoslavia???
Jeeez, when was this interview? 1983???
Choy that’s disgusting even dennis nilsen wouldn’t rape that ugly cunt
It’s part of the Soviet Union ManGoonian. Where have you been?
From the BBC
Three British men have been killed and two others seriously injured in a car crash in The Netherlands, after they allegedly raided a cash machine.
Two men from Liverpool, aged 21 and 27, and a 25-year-old man from London were killed when their car hit the central reservation of the A12 near Utrecht.
Two other men, aged 25 and 28, and from Liverpool, suffered serious injuries in the crash on Friday night.
They have been arrested on suspicion of burglary, Dutch police said.
————————————————-
I know its tragic, but they had to be from Liverpool didn’t they.
ManGooninan. Are you an Arsenal fan from manchester or just stuck behind enemy lines?
Don’t fuck with a dutch cash machine seems to be the moral of that story…
Save money on the trial anyway
Mangoonian mate..
Sun hasnt all disappeared..even though in the darkest international moments it would seem like it..nope still three -four hours of light each day..and i not being affected at all MG…heck im being realistic..lets sell all injury prone player we’ve got..its clearly hampering our team…on the other side…there are clubs who actually buy players with injuries included..a kind of a package deal(l’pool)maybe thats the way to do it…not sure…
but seriously Rosicky should go…and so should RvP..better to get some money now than to risk loosing it all…he’s been nothin but trouble…Theo looks like he doesn have a decent bone in his body..so sell him…Senderos is another cup of tea..he’s just missing a brain that poor fella…Diaby…wont go there MG…
it seems that injury players are holding us up..and that we pay for a whole team that plays 10 games a season at most..not very financial clever…
and i actually am thinking about buying some crotches would go nicely with my Arshavin shirt..and then i would fit right in..maybe even gettin a call from Wenger..God knows i would be cheap enough
still MG we are the Worlds grestest team only gettin better…
tom
lol Pedro
I’m reading a book called Football Emperor about Chapman at the moment. Has anyone read it? It’s interestnig, Written in the 80′s before the premier league
ManG, I think Tom is being sarcastic.
Pedro..
breaking News…the l’pool lads was ripping of a coffee shop.and escaped with all guns smokin…
stil may you rest in peace..too young is all i can say..
tom
He was a revolutionary wasn’t he GM?
CKB’s were rife during that period…
muy bien Pedro..and true…i was gettin somewhat bored with all the whining…ManGoonian pardon mate…i lost it there for a few didnt i…:)
Ther are some similarities Pedro.
Tom, it’s not whining… it’s creating something you can talk about everyday with very limited news about.
Diaby is injured again, I expect Ramsey to start the next few games. The kid is on fire at the moment and should be able to grab his chance now.
Rambo is going to be an amazing player… Diaby does seem to be doing his best to blow his chances again.
I wish the news situation stayed the same. Sure we were fighting a lot but atleast everyone was fit.
Also the placenta talk had me removing all the mozzarella from my pizza.
Eddie and Ramsey.. not bad backups to have.
Sunderland might be missing some muscle in the middle if so then we can give Ramsey a start. IMO the more chances he gets the less likely he is to have an ordinary game because of trying to hard.
Pedro…
i am thankful for the fantastic job, Geoff and yourself puts in ,keeping Le Grove the best blog by far…and sometimes my own redneck self shoots to quick and post to soon..merde..
then again its all allowed in Arsenal Paradise ?
tom
Mayank, as long as Song is playing… Diaby isn’t a loss…
Rambo plays that role with so much more conviction for me…
I really think we’re going to roll Sunderland! I have no worries! Eddy is back scoring as well… so hopefully the impact of losing RvP wont be so bad…
tom is by far the most polite person on the internet.
Tom, when you call it Arsenal paradise, I can forgive anything
But Ramsey has a back problem as well….
Pedro..the African countries that qualified are
1. Cameroon
2. Nigeria
3. Ivory Coast
4. Ghana
Egypt and Algeria have to play off Wednesday…
P.S. I didnt know New Zealand had much crime..seems strange
Diaby will be missed in games like Villa away if he’s not playing. For all his mistakes he does get in the opposition’s way a good amount.
Didn’t togo qualify? What a shame
Have you guys seen the violent woman footballer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmPybFK2_o&feature=related
She does not even get sent off for these !!
Yeah even i thought both New Zealand and Aus had the ‘No worries maite’ mentality. Doesn’t fit the image of a rapist!
goonermichael;
I cam eoop here to go to chips n gravy college… Been here ever since mate…
Londoner born n bred, innit you slaaaaag…
This the team I would play against Sunderland…
…………………….Al…………………………
Sagna/EB…….Gallas/Senderos………Vermy………Gibbs
……………………Song………………………..
……Cesc…………………………….Nasri…….
..Rosicky…………….Eddy………………….Vela…
I bring Arshy off the bench only if we need him….
Also Gallas will coming back late…so not so sure about him…
Song only played one game..and so far Cesc has only played 30 mins….Eddy played only one game as well
Nasri and ROsicky have would have been resting for 2 weeks so they will be ready to go….
I am sure Vela is itching to play as well…
He is the Chip master…
yeah i really want to see vela get a few starts.
tom;
I was getting worried about you mate! You have been bangin on about selling players for a while now… I just assumed the ultra long nights had done for yer!
Wales vs Scotland match highlights. Ramsey looks like the business. He produces results on the pitch.
http://www.soccer360.co.uk/wales-vs-scotland-live-streaming-online-match-highlights-and-goals-video-international-friendly-football-14-11-09/
We should sign Manny Pacquiao.
Do we face Sunderland this weekend guys or are we in for another boring interlull week?
She’s a dyke with issues that one Mark
Saturday I think Gunnersmith
Diaby is injured again?
fiesty… GM
She did not like it when an opponent got a bit to touchy feely.
Vela is the chip master, that is true.
Did you know he had a near fatal accident with a lawnmower when he was 6 years old. They rushed him to hospital and had to replace the broken bone with a lob wedge iron golf club, and this is why he is the chip master.
zeus;
He was already injured, the French twat Domenech took him anyways, coz he is a complete fuckwit… He will be out another week or so….
I think Rambo’s injury is a ‘I don’t do U21′s anymore’ type of injury.
Funny though cos it will mean he played the Scots in a friendly then missed the U21 qualifier !!
JA_Gun….NZ and high crime ‘eh…not quite giving JA a run for its money yet though are they.
I’m pretty sure that the Dons of TG or Arnett Gardens wouldn’t be quaking in their boots walknig thru Wellington day or night !!!
We play on 21st.. against sunderland GS
These rapes in New Zealand…
Erm, they are against women and not sheep yeah…?
Sorry…
You know its a slooooow news day when SSN are informing us, with jazzy graphics too, what exactly Arsenal’s most injury depleted month is….
True that ManG.
I had most of Sept at home unemployed/between jobs.
Passing the time was a right struggle. DaytimeTV – WTF !!!
True Sharkey mate..
I am struggling here. Ive had this effin lurgy for 2 weeks now! Got noooo energy, achy as fook, so cant even use the time off work to indulge….
Oh and BTW, co i am sure you all need to know, April is the most injured month, November 2nd!
Barcelona step up Cesc Fabregas pursuit by offering Yaya Toure and Bojan Krkic to seal deal for the Arsenal captain

Spent a few months in NZ. Brilliant place and am shocked by the rape statistic.
Nick. Best place to raise kids in the world IMO. A functioning multi-racial society that retains a belief in decency and honesty.
That said some f*cker stole my sunglasses, but the perp was probably a scouse backpacker.
So, there’s no friendlies for Croatia or mexico, so thats Vela and Eduardo safe and sound… We just need Cesc, Gallas and Vermilli to come thru unscathed now…
More bollocks from the Daily Mail. It really is a shitty rag,
And Arshy!
Why can’t we just bring back fab and verm.. its just a friendly.
Arsh and the french contingent have an important game. The rest should be called back.
Saw that tripe from the Daily Mail and binned it… Just pure regurgitation of a catalan piece… Great journalism by the English hacks, yet again…
Yep.. international week is always full of shite being printed all the time
with denilson coming back from injury and ramsey in great form the competition for places is really hotting up in the midfield.
I think our strongest midfield trio is;
—–song——
—cesc-nasri—
but we do have other good options.
Big raddy thats what i herd my mrs mate lives out there and she came over full of it got excepted in princaple then the crime figures put me off a bit.
Got mates in oz myself but they have tooled up insects which aint a bit of me.
So looks like i will stay here for while yet
choy;
Well, hopefully the Spanish and Belgian coaches are prepared to make sure the players dont get over used. I dont think Cesc played much Saturday, so expect him to start tomorrow…
Why they need to play 2 friendlies in 5 days is beyond me…Oh yeah, for the TV rights & sponsorship cash!
http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/3926154/
Mancs are going to get him, for sure.
Do you think that the Spanish equivalent of the Mail writes about MU/Chavs/Us tapping up all their players?
Hope so
Why would we want Krkic exactly?
Nick.
I spent time in Oz as well. Great place but the wildlife and the climate are bastards. Had some of the scariest moments of my life confronted by Oz insects and snakes
NZ is like England 25 years ago (as I am sure you have heard)
England is a great place too, if you can afford to live in the right areas
The agent of Ricky van Wolfswinkel Louis Loras told Sport.co.uk editor Nigel Brown:
“I have heard the rumours linking him with a move to Arsenal, but I can confirm that there is no firm offers or contact from the club. Ricky is happy at FC Utrecht because he is playing regularly, playing well and learning.
“I do not think that he will move abroad right now, I think he will maybe look to go to an Ajax, or an AZ Alkmaar before he goes abroad. I can confirm that scouts from Arsenal, and Premier League clubs have watched him, but this is obvious, because he is a top young Dutch striker.
“I think a move to Arsenal is something that could happen in a few years, but at the moment Ricky wants to learn, and play regular football. If he went to Arsenal he wouldn’t be playing as regularly as he would want.”
When asked what type of player van Wolfswinkel was Loras replied:
“He is like Marco Van Basten. Obviously not as good as Van Basten, but their styles are similar.
MG, Money, money, money.
Why do Brazil travel to Dubai to play a friendly against a reserve England team?
Big R;
Yep, of course, its the moolah! But the pretence that its about getting team formations and selections etc is just such an effin lie!
Casacrino told the Times: “Have Arsenal’s title hopes gone up in smoke now that Robin van Persie is injured?”
“It was just about the worst possible news for Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager.”
“Van Persie has been brilliant and he’s arguably Arsenal’s most important player after Cesc Fàbregas.”
“He’s also the best dead-ball specialist in English football, now that Cristiano Ronaldo’s gone.”
Pat;
Cascarino was only too happy to tell all and sundry at the start of the season that Arsenal had NO CHANCE, now he is acting like one of those hacks who are pretending it was other people saying that and he always thought we’d do well…
Only Andy Gray said we’d challenge… That is effin weird innit???
Right MG.
What pisses me off is at whose expense do they play?
Do the players get a cut of the match fee?
Do the clubs get the players wages refunded?
Do the National teams insure the players over & above the clubs insurance?
Why should any club be forced to foot the bill so that a National Federation can make a ton of money, and get 1st class flights, entertainment and a huge wage packet for prostituting our players?
It’s bollocks. And I am sure it is that fat shit Platini’s fault. UEFA trying to re-establish International football as the prime product over the EPL/La Liga etc
“He’s also the best dead-ball specialist in English football, now that Cristiano Ronaldo’s gone.”
haha even when he compliments arsenal Cascarino shows how thick he is, when was the last time RVP scored from a free kick!?
What possible credence has Cascarino got? Poor player, poor gambler and even worse pundit. Oh, and a liar
Cascarino is another in my long list of cunts
First up against the wall. Alongside Phil Brown, Fat Sam, Sparky. The swine who fucked Eduardo, Ade, Bellamy, Lee Bowyer, Joey Barton, Platini, .
The list is too long to contemplate.
Phil Thompson has said for last 2 summers that we would finish outside of the top four. I guess most pundits are very negative towards us.
On reflection Teddy Sheringham would get the first bullet
On the club v/s country thing, while its true the players should have the club as it’s priority as the club pays them more playing for your country generates money too. Just how many ads has Walcott features in after the hat-trick?
So while common courtesy says it should be club before country there is money to be made on both sides.
GGU. The man is a scouser. He must be very happy at the state of his beloved L’pool. It would be fantastic if they go out the CL in the early stages, and finish outside the top 6 (Us, Chavs, MU, MC, AV, Spuds . in that order)
Oh, how we would laugh….
If i had to pick someone to go out of the top four it’s be Man U. Can’t stand their cuntiness. Of course that would give Ronaldo too much credit. Life’s just not fair.
Big Raddy, im liking the look of that top 3, but we cant have Ade and co finishing in the top four, i would prefer AV or pool.
Mayank. I fail to see how Theo having a high profile benefits AFC. TW gets the income from his image rights.
The only benefit to AFC is the potential cash in value should he be sold. But set against that is the increase of his wages as a high profile star.
But …. I have to say I was very proud when AFC won the WC with TH, PV & MP.
Mayank.
If I could choose the Top 4 it would be Arsenal, Brighton, Barnet and Cheltenham.
but I would take
Us, Wolves, Fulham Burnley
No it doesn’t benefit us in any way, I was referring to the main post which suggested that player have no personal stake in the internationals but national pride.
Anyway, shirt sales for a successful Theo would be more that those for a successful Vela.
I used to support France because of the Arsenal connection as well as one of my favourite players ever ZZ. Now it’s Spain.
Such is the wandering nature of a football fan from a football starved country.
looks like senderous wants out, we should just get rid of him in jan and buy a better CB, especially if he wants to go
http://www.sportingpreview.com/premnews/09100045.php
Here’s a good tune i hadn’t heard in a while…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o3jeHrZbWs
b;
Are you related to A?
GGY;
I think it is easier said than done finding a replacement nfor Senderos… Who is gonna come in and sit on the bench?
Oh dear b;
Sooo many pathetic childish cliches and generalisations…Where to start?
You missed the point b.
It seems we are a club in deep crisis, our main striker rvp ruled out for the season, eduardo’s off to liverpool and vela no longer exists.
The media are truley bunch of cowboys who cant wait to turn on us.
News of The World – “Last Sunday we wrongly stated that Arsene Wenger had threatened to quit Arsenal and move to another club.
We now know this to be incorrect.
We also accept Mr Wenger is happy with Mr Alisher Usmanov as a major shareholder and does not believe he is seeking to interfere in the club. We apologise for any upset this story has caused.”
Mayank;
Indeed s/he does…
Sure there are many fans who detest England games and dont want their players flying off for tournaments and qualifying games, let alone friendlies!
Yet most fans have no problem with it, although if you ever go to Old Trafford, they like to sing Argentina (although they might have to change that to South Korea, or sumfin?)
It is the pretence and sabre rattling from Blatter and Platini trying to justify their fat salaries by comin up with more and more pointless games, like the Confeds Cup, and others and the fact alot of countries will play 2 friendlies this week to raise some cash, when there’s billions sat in FIFA’s coffers…
To then slate a nation (England) and brag about your own, is, to, offensive and I would say, xenophobic… Something I thought only the haCKs revelled in…
Mang, i guess thats why we’re stuck with Silvestre, a player with no future, who has no complaints about playing 2nd fiddle to the first choice.
Still are gonna need stronger back up.
Maybe we should just go for a a strong DM, so that we can move Song into defence if Gallas gets injured.
The truth is club football can survive and thrive without Intlnls whereas the reverse doesn’t apply. That is why some respect should be shown by the teams to the clubs who’ve invested huge amounts of time and money in developing a player for them.
Indeed players should play for the countries in the tournaments but when it comes to such friendlies and other unimportant matches i think a little discretion would help. Even if Holland won that one 10-0 what would it achieve?
Great link Mayank.
B. Lots to say about your rant.
Firstly, I am proud of my nation but do not accept that illiterate thugs like John Terry represent me. If Terry (the Captain no less) chooses not to play in friendlies, what is their real value.
I have no problem with the WC. In fact I love it, but meaningless friendlies that only serve to fill the pockets of the FA are a waste of time. For any country – even yours
Would I play for my country ahead of my club ? Of course I would. But if my employer refused to pay me, I would still play. How many of our England team would do the same?
RvP chooses to play for Holland, fair play to him. But I do not believe it should be his decision.
Club over National team? Every time….
BTW. Where I was born is a REAL country. A proper nation. A land that is inclusive of all ….. can you say the same?
Didn’t see B’s follow up comment.
What a silly little boy. Probably whacking off to on the porno channels by now
Specially as we have the positive brigade in the house at the moment
Theo put club before country and look whats happened to him. He has played 30 mins football all season.
GGU. I don’t understand the call for a back up DM or CB.
Song is only out for 5 weeks, and we have replacements. (Nasri, Denilson). At CB we have JD to return who IMO will be a terrific player.
country before club you mean
Hi Choy
Not for AFC players …….
The guy’s my favourite YT guitarist.
Also positive brigade? I resent that generalisation! I’m plenty negative, for example it’s cold and it’s raining and i don’t have my winter clothes out yet. Tomorrow morning isn’t something i’m positive about.
B, you’re from Norway, your home league is pretty weak, so of course you’re going to enjoy international football more. It’s the only chance you get to watch semi decent football (Usually the opposition if you get a nice group draw).
As for being a real country to be proud of, did you qualify for the world cup this year? I think not…
As you’ve probably never attended the Emirates, I won’t even dignify that point with an answer.
I’ll politely ask you to fuck off to another blog and to turn the spell checker on before you drop childish comments on someone else’s blog.
Oops, meant to say Theo put country before club
Big R;
Yeah, lets have a positive virtual high five man!
Is there an emoticon thingy for that?
GGY;
To be foar to Theo, I think he was in a very difficult position. He would’ve been slated by the hacks and his National pride and other such jingoistic shit called into question…
I am sure things would be different next time…
Although, did anyone see that Pearce has been playing Gibbs inh central midfield??? You know? Just to mess withn his head and place him in the most dangerous position for an injury!
What a genius…
Evening Le Grove,
Great post, and it is time that we follow other clubs and make excuses for our players – worthless matches are just that and they have no purpose, especially as Holland are through and dont need ‘training game’ to ensure their are at peak form to play an important qualifier..
Hey Pedro, just want to say thanks
Hey Rico, no problem!
mang, you could be onto something there with Pearce, Gibbs said that Pearce wanted him to play in midfield so that he could put the opposition under more pressure. Sounds dodgey to me.
ManG, I just read that… he’s quite a tall player, very quick, good at defending and good going forward… could be the dream ticket in a few years!
Pedro;
Just when he is developing into a fine LB mate???
If he wants to do that, turn a fullback into a DM, then do it to Micah!
Or Eastmond!
ManG
I am with you on that, Bloomin Pearce says he could ‘do better’ but plays him in the wrong position!
Play him at LB and then judge him I say…. gggggrrr
Seeing as its Movie Monday, just a quick word for Edward Woodward…
He who starred in The Wicker Man…
A feckin awesome film…
Oh and the Equalizer was cool too! Well, I loved the theme tune anyways!
It doesn’t hurt to get a few positions under your belt!
Flamini started of in centre mid, did half a season at left back, then went back to midfield.
Gibbs will be fine!
Exactly Rico…
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Yes Pedro and we all know what happened with Flamini!
Hey B, fuck off you wanker.
Well, RVP is probably the best dead ball specialist. That doesn’t mean he has to score. No one takes better corners imo, same goes to free kicks, when he’s not shooting.
Whats amazing about Andy Gray saying we had a chance? I’m 18 and when I started watching football, or at least whenever i heard Gray commentate an Arsenal game, he always struck me as an Arsenal fan. He was always praising us and saying only good things.
I don’t understand the hate towards him on this blog, just as I don’t understand the hate towards Palmer who is the most reliable when it comes down to Arsenal news. He may not always be right, but he’s “more right” than everyone else
doesn’t Gibbs play again for the U 21s this week, hope its not too much before a tough away trip to sunderland.
bojan andtoure for fabregas
lol
well done daily mail.
try messi, henry and 100 million
Pat;
Each to their own fella… Maybe its due to the goading of Richard Keys whenever he and Gray discuss “selective” football matters. I have seen way too many negative, slurs spread by the pair of em. The fact he is seen as one of the most impartial pundits, is more down the sub standard quality of the field.
As for Palmer…
Jeeez, that twisted old fool is soooo wrong on soooooo many levels…
It isnt even anything to do with the fact he aint a Gooner either…
He is sooo quick to slate… (RvP is selfish, lazy, not a team player and will fail in the 4-3-3, Clichy is shite, Vermilli wont work, Henry will never be a decent striker…) Just 1s I can think of, which I would rather not thanks!
But, its a free world, apparantly…
gunnergetyou;
Yep, he flies off to Lithuania on Tuesday to probably play in central midfield!
Brilliant prep before our weekend fixture… But I am sure “b” is probably shakin his non-wankin fist at the PC screen for that one!
I quite like myles palmer.
He can be very wrong but he can also get it spot on sometimes.
I think he is the biggest twat out there on any Arsenal related site… Just my opinion…
