The defining moment has arrived! You’re on your own.

So Arsene Wenger has said his team cannot be regarded as kids anymore and it’s time to show what they can do against the likes of the chavs, he said last years mauling was the nightmare week of the season, well has a year made a difference? We’ll soon find out, what will he do if we lose, give up the experiment?

The thing that worries me after that comment, is we sold two top players and bought in an unknown, yes he is world class, our very own Martin Keown again, but considering we were already 2 players short, it was an odd decision, because in my book and DB10′s book, we are still 2 players short.

Ok forget that because I think this team will win, I just hope we do it by playing football and not by matching their kicking lumps out of us, I also hope we do it in style and make them look like the mugs they are, it’s time someone put the bully boys from west London in their places.

Not sure what the team will be, but I’m going to have a guess here.

Almunia

Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Eboue

Rosicky Song Cesc

Walcott Eduardo Arshavin

Or

Almunia

Sagna Silvestre Vermaelen Traore

Nasri Song Cesc

Walcott Arshavin Rosicky

Let me say this would be the team that I would pick (the first one), and I put Song in there because I think we need the aggressive type of player in midfield, and as far as he’s concerned, the players he’s up against are the real enemy, Ghana and Ivory coast, he will have an African point to prove and I’m backing him to do it, this is where we will all see how he matches up against Essien, I think he will want to prove something here.

I have a feeling though we’ll see the same midfield as we did midweek and Denilson will be in there. The opportunity for Wenger to play Song, Denilson and Eboue all at the same time may be too overwhelming.

It’s also time for the forward line to prove just how good they are, Walcott was supposed to be the saviour of England, now’s the time to prove it Theo, don’t forget your first ever Arsenal goal came against this shower of shit, we need to get down the wings and open them up, something we didn’t do against Sunderland or Liege, I’m surprised Wenger didn’t tell them that at the time.

Tomorrow they’ll be no hiding place, tomorrow we show how good we are, or far behind we are, tomorrow he’ll either see he has enough to win the league or not enough and has to buy.

The great Dennis Bergkamp has said two new players would do it, that’s all many of us have ever said, still if we beat the Chavs with the team that the boss believes are good enough, then I will start believing, and indeed consume a few helpings of humble pie, and I really hope I have to.

Alex, I’ve picked you ahead of Nasri and Ramsey who are flair players and Denilson, who for me is a defensive midfielder, I hope you show me why I was wrong to doubt you, I hope you kick lumps out of Essien, but save a few for Drogba, don’t forget a bit of African pride here!

Only a day to go Grovers, let’s hope the Villa get a draw against the spuds.

    WOOHOO!! Top 10! Move over Sabeel and TAIG, there’s a new Sheriff in town ;-)

  13. LadyGooner says:

    STONROY- Thanx for that, I was getting drunk with power, lol

  14. stonroy says:

    I’d be very surprised if Willie G doesn’t play. I’d expect Eboue to play for Gibbs.

  15. stonroy says:

    No probs LG i came on earlier but I had to give you your moment.

  16. stonroy says:

    FUCK me the worst has been realized. On Saturday morning, Arsenal Football Club issued the following statement in regard to Robin Van Persie.

    “Robin Van Persie returned to Arsenal on November 22nd following an ankle injury sustained whilst on international duty with Holland. The injury was expected to keep him out of action for between four and six weeks.

    “Upon his return, the Arsenal medical team conducted a thorough review of his scans, his early injury management and the treatment he had received. Having scrutinised these in detail and assessed the response of his ankle, the Club’s medical team concluded that further investigation and opinion was required.

    “Advice was sought from the leading ankle specialist Mr Niek van Dijk, who confirmed that more extensive damage had been suffered than was first diagnosed. In order to repair his ankle, Robin will undergo surgery next week in Amsterdam to reconstruct the ligaments. The Club’s medical team anticipate that a full recovery will take between four and five months.”

  17. eightiesfan says:

    Van Persie out for 4-5 months now.

    GREAT!

  18. Geoff says:

    LadyGooner, well done, I was beginning to think time had stood still!

  19. finestcuts says:

    Love West London, hate Chelsea…..I’ll take a 1-0, I also want it done with care to make sure it’s a deserved win but style is not something I am concerned about today. We will need to focus a little more defensively today, they certainly have the potential to score a goal or two.
    If it’s a case of poor performance, but a win a la Standard Liege, so be it.

  20. stonroy says:

    So I fancy a striker come January people.

  21. Truth says:

    Morning all, so RVP out for the next 4–5 months, I make the that the rest of the season, fecking hell!

  22. RVP injury says:

    ‘Advice was sought from the leading ankle specialist Mr Niek van Dijk, who confirmed that more extensive damage had been suffered than was first diagnosed.

    :( :(

  23. PSL says:

    F*CK!!

    RvP out of 4-5 months atleast. Its on arsenal.com!!

  24. stonroy says:

    This really pisses me off. There is no way we will let Cesc go at Christmas to play now.

  25. Headbanger says:

    VAN PERSIE OUT FOR THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

  26. finestcuts says:

    Thanks for that Stonroy, I thought all along they were delaying the news, torn ligaments are serious.

  27. stonroy says:

    I guess were back in for Chamakh then

  28. Swed says:

    Top post Geoff

    What is most interesting on Sunday is who plays leftback. It hurts to say it but I hope that Sylvestre will play. We need him on set pieces against the scum…

    What do you guys think!

  29. Hatta says:

    van persie is out for the season, read it on arsenal.com

  30. finestcuts says:

    I don’t think so Stonroy, Vela will get promoted.

  31. LadyGooner says:

    Hahaha, thanx Stonroy. I also think Willy G should be ok for Sunday. The big issue is LB: Silvestre- no pace but has experience, Traore- pace but not enough LB experience, Eboue- good pace, experience but not a natural LB or even left footed. Personally, I’d go with Eboue because I think he could handle A-H(C)ole and offer a bit going forward

  32. reggie57 says:

    Shit news stonroy but what do you expect Robin is a great player but a injury prone one!!

  33. stonroy says:

    Finest he’s not ready, but it makes sense. Arsenal have probably known for a while now about RVP and that’s why they have talking about Vela so much lately.

  34. Mohammad Hasan says:

    Oh sh*t, RVP out for season.
    Now we shld be back in the market for a new striker, hopefully D.Villa

  35. kiwigooner says:

    African Pride

  36. Swed says:

    LadyGooner/

    In particular, Sylvestre is god in the air…

  37. finestcuts says:

    Swed, I wouldn’t worry about Traore, he’s a capable left back, Silvestre will be needed in the middle unless Gallas’s eye is OK. For this game I would give Silvestre and Senderos half a game each (do a sub at half time), keep them both fresh.

  38. reggie57 says:

    Time to loosen them purse strings AW?

  39. El Tel says:

    I am reading about how the cheating tosser Drogba will destroy us but its the supply to him that we need to stop. Essien has been the problem for us in recent games.

    We need to keep Essien on the back foot and not give them the opportunity to release him up the field. If we get a lead we must keep the pressure on in their half of the field and not resort to bringing on defenders and letting them come on to us.

  40. vinnyjones says:

    top read . couldn`t agree more

  41. Hirvesh says:

    My line-up would be:

    ——–almunia———-
    sagna-gallas-verma-silves
    ———song————
    ——fab-nasri———-
    -rosick-arshavin-eduardo-

  42. Swed says:

    Finest/ So you would go for Traore if Gallas is fit (i think he will be).

  43. LadyGooner says:

    GEOFF- Hahaha! Thats horrible about RVP! Heartbreaking for the guy but we must and I feel that we can. Between now and 31 December will be very important for Eduardo, Vela, Theo and Nik B. If they don’t impress in the middle of the front 3 then Wenger must buy.

  44. finestcuts says:

    For strikers, we would need to be super depleted to be in a crisis. We’ve got enough attacking midfielders to play 4-5-1 whenever necessary.

  45. El Tel says:

    The answer is 3-4-3 against the Chavs. We should worry less about their forwards and concentrate on pressing them in midfield.

    Coco
    Verminator
    Willie G
    Sagna

    Denilson/Eboue
    Nasri
    Rosicky/Ramsey
    Song

    Cesc
    Arseshaver
    Eduardo/Vela

  46. paul says:

    Lets at least hopes he makes the World Cup,and realises his dream,it’s a disaster for us he was on fire.I am sure we are cursed

  47. finestcuts says:

    Swed, I think we should stick to Traore, we gave chances to Gibbs, and we need to trust his ability. He’s got Premier League and Champions League experience and has performed well, so I can’t see any justification for dropping him for Silvestre.

  48. stonroy says:

    No curse Paul, Wenger just has a habit for fragile players.

  49. paul says:

    How can you blame Wenger for that tackle

  50. Geoff says:

    Now we have lost Robin, that makes we are 2 strikers down on last summer, if he doesn’t buy now, he is taking the piss out of us, especially as he got so much for Ade.

  51. Swed says:

    Finest/

    Would agree against any other team. But set pieces against Chelsea makes me want to pick Sylvestre….

  52. Geoff says:

    Welcome to all the new people, sorry for the wait, you are now free to blog.

  53. reggie57 says:

    Geoff he has been taking the piss for the last couple of years now, theres always been money there for him to spend but due to his stubboness by sunday we could already be out of the title race again!!

  54. Buck says:

    So you pick Song?
    How big of you.
    He is one of the most important players and you pick him?
    Ahh… La Grove

    Just read RVP done for the year…same old RVP.

  55. jaguar says:

    Wenger is not gonna spend anyfin.He will talk about how the team has matured over the year and all such blah blah.We will most likely end up empty handed,if he doesnt bury his ego and start spending on quality players.

  56. Geoff says:

    Reggie that’s what pisses me off, we flatter to deceive, raise our hopes, sell a bunch of players for a shed load of money, and then we go out early again the following season.

    All he says is I believe in this team, well now he has to buy or we’ll be out again early.

    I gets me because we don’t need much do we!

  57. reggie57 says:

    Agree with everything you just said Geoff!!

  58. Geoff says:

    Buck, you think you could do better, write your own post and I’ll come on and tell you what a know it all prick you are, you make me laugh.

  59. Swed says:

    Geoff /

    What do you think about left back at sunday?

  60. Swed says:

    Buck! For f..ck sake, dont start the Songdebate again!

  61. Geoff says:

    Swed I think I would play Eboue there, he can defend.

    I also binned Buck, I can’t be arsed to have a day of that shit, I praised Song for fucks sake.

    Give me a break.

  62. Geoff says:

    Buck I don’t spend time writing this blog to take smart arse comments, join the debate by all means. If you want to act like a prat write your own blog.

    For the record I don’t agree with your assessment.

  63. Geoff says:

    Good going Buck, that’ll get you back on.

  64. alfienoakes says:

    Think buck must be losing something intranslation there.. doesnt really make sense……

    Anyway… I was in Vegas last week celebrating my 40th.. and I decided to tune into that shower of shite that was the sunderland game.. good start to my celebrations..!

    So today I have a bit of a party and I am expecting big things… I cant see us getting stuffed, we do raise it usually for these games, and as for that big headed twat Jason Cunty.. Did you see him on Sky sports yesterday..? What a twat…

  65. reggie57 says:

    Are all our players made of glass,or just the ones AW buys?

  66. Mayank says:

    “The opportunity for Wenger to play Song, Denilson and Eboue all at the same time may be too overwhelming.”
    The last time you said that only Song got picked and we lost.
    That said i hope we beat the Chavs no matter which team we put out.

  67. Big Raddy says:

    Buck . First time on here and anti- LG. Why bother ?

    If you spent less time pulling your wire, you may have an opinion to share and discuss

  68. Mayank says:

    Say it ain’t so!
    Fuck! RvP out…

  69. alfienoakes says:

    check this out.. We are top of this league for the n’th year running.. get in there the medical team:

    http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php

  70. Paul88 says:

    As far as I’m concerned we have to buy now.

    I don’t think vela or eduardo can play effectively through the middle with the current formation. I’m also still very unconvinced by bendtner. He may come good but I think it would be unwise to try to sustain a EPL and CL campaign with a player leading the line who if we’re honest have proven nothing.

  71. Geoff says:

    Mayank then Song didn’t get to the header they scored from.

    Still I don’t want to get into that, I wrote a Song positive post today so let’s talk about beating them and not the old debate.

    Move on Mayank.

    I agree that silvestre should play bcuz of set-plays

  73. goonermichael says:

    Great news about RVP. That Italian cunt wants fucking shooting dirty piece of shit

  74. Micky Did It 89 says:

    Morning again.
    Been happily talking to myself on yesterday!
    Some people need to make up their fucking minds who plays where.
    Does Ros play left or right midfield, or left or right front three. Ditto Nas. Eddie middle or left. Vela ditto.

  75. reggie57 says:

    Yeh true said it on SSn and Arse.com!!

  76. Geoff says:

    Got that right Raddy! Alfie, it don’t pose the question does it not!!!

  77. Micky Did It 89 says:

    Oh, there’s another one. AA in the middle!

  78. jules says:

    Adewhore and RVP wre pretty much first choice last year, so two first choice strikers down we have to buy , but no doubt won,t .

    But hey don,t worry ,we hear about the players we nearly signed , nearly bought back etc .

    what a shit bit of luck , and again in a poxy fucking friendly .

  79. Paul88 says:

    I was half expecting this RVP news it’s been quiet for far too long. Absolutely sickening.

    I hope people don’t use these injuries as an excuse at the end of the season. It’s hardly a new thing as far as arsenal are concerned.

  80. Big Raddy says:

    I would play Sylvester, pace is not the Chavs strength, apart from Anelka, and Sagna will nullify him (I hope).

    But Traore has EPL experience, even more than Gibbs. I would trust him as well.

    But Fishface for his aerial ability at set plays should get the call.

  81. ROS says:

    arsene said yesterday online that eboue or troare at left back the cat if gallas out he will decide sunday i think eboue will play experience will count in this game gutted about vp we will miss him vela this is your time good luck ARSENAL 4life

  82. Big Raddy says:

    Big opportunity for the other strikers. AA can fill half of RvP’s role.

    I see Nik B leading the line in Feb.

  83. Geoff says:

    Michael, we should have signed him!

    Jules and yesterday he said he considered bringing Anelka back, I just wish he keep his mouth shut, he could’ve had YaYa, Barry, Alonso, Ronaldo, Messi, Anelka, fuck maybe now and again he should!

    Maybe then we could dominate.

  84. Dutchman says:

    Big blow for arsenal and RvP but I think that this is the moment for walcott,vela and bendtner to step up.
    Personally I think that bendtner can do the job, we all want him to play in the striker role, now is his chance. I think walcott as a striker for the cc games.
    And vela as a striker against mid-table teams. But the partnership with bendtner-vela was awesome. So, for sunday I hope for vela as a striker.

  85. We need to get on Charmark’s case again

  86. gooner786 says:

    Morning,

    If we lose tomorrow, GAME OVER.

  87. Truth says:

    I cannot see the point being told about the ones that got away, it’s a bit of a windup if you ask me. If anything it just shows how unsuccessful we’ve been when it comes to signing quality.

  88. Geoff says:

    It may be Bendtner’s chance but he’s injured!!!

    Game over if we lose? Yes, I agree.

  89. jules says:

    Bang On Geoff

    Don,t you get fed up with that I nearly shit .

    Fucking do it then !!

  90. Paul88 says:

    Quite possibly the EPL will be out of our reach come monday so I’d make sure I brought someone who can play in the CL. That would rule out Dezeko and chamakh. That leaves one option DAVID FUCKING VILLA.

    We’ll probably just get jay simpson back on loan though…oh well.

  91. goonermichael says:

    We were linked with him Geoff. Mind you we were linked with every other fucker. I’m coming over all bbk now. I’m gutted. He won’t buy. we all know that

  92. goonermichael says:

    Chamack is in the knockout of the CL why would he move and be cuip tied?

  93. Micky Did It 89 says:

    Whoever plays either side of Song is going to have to do some serious wage earning tomorrow.

  94. jules says:

    Gutted too Michael .

    What a pisser . Just when RVP was really becoming the player we hoped he could be .

  95. goonermichael says:

    He scored 11 before Christmas a couple of years ago then was out for the season.

  96. @ GM, there is no harm in trying

  97. goonermichael says:

    Bendy and Dudu play well together but probably not quite good enough against some of the better teams. especially in the CL. Wenger won’t buy a striker

  98. goonermichael says:

    But we never really try that hard supergunner.

  99. Micky Did It 89 says:

    If some of these players spent a little less time on their fucking hair, maybe they wouldnt get injured so fucking often. Sick and tired of fucking injuries. Seriously pissed off.

  100. goonermichael says:

    Maybe he’ll be back in time to help us secure 4th :)

  101. Dutchman says:

    I saw a video from rosicky against Standard liege.
    And what the best player was on that video was not rosicky but Bendtner. His movement,his first touch, his ballcontrol. A beautifal player!! He is the man for RvP role!!

  102. goonermichael says:

    I don’t think you can accuse RVP of over indulgence in his hair. That’s my proffessional opinion btw

  103. Big Raddy says:

    If I was Bourdeaux I would tall AW to stick an offer where the sun don’t shine.

    Maybe we would offer €1m , B’eaux get that if the go an extra round in the CL.

    And we don’t need him…..

    Check our scoring record. OK we have lost one striker and have another out until after Xmas, but we are still top scorers in the EPL. One Sunderland doesn’t make a winter….

    The defence is where we need shoring. We will win the EPL if we tighten up at the back

  104. goonermichael says:

    Keep going Raddy I feel better already

  105. Mimi says:

    Really Sad the Van Persie’s news. All we can wish him is a full recovery. We still have plenty of players that can play upfront but it wouldnt hurt for Wenger to invest in January.

    I am beginning to think we should do better where physios are concerned.First it was 2-3months then it was 6-8 wks and now this!Fu*king international friendlies!!!

    This bad news just before the biggest game of the season Sucks!Makes me alil Apprehensive but all the best tomorrow.

  106. Micky Did It 89 says:

    Big Raddy: you are like a big comfort blanket! Respect your professional opinion GoonerM. Just cheesed off. If Theo or Ros go off injured tomorrow, I will personally…….

  107. Micky Did It 89 says:

    A mate has just told me Gallas may miss the game because of a black eye. YOU ARE FUCKING JOKING!!!

  108. Geoff says:

    I wrote a piece on the wimpyness of our players this week, it’s diabolical isn’t it, I tried to play golf with a plaster cast on I was so desperate.

  109. goonermichael says:

    Can’t you play central defence Geoff? Kick a few of those chav’s and show dogshit how broken ribs could be. I’d do it myself unfortunately I’m a coward and a bit of a wimp. Typical hairdressr really

  110. slimshady says:

    Oh fucking hell RvP…. so its back to the old glass Robin. Fuck me im pissed!

  111. Mimi says:

    Guys if anyone is to blame it the fucking Italian mob and the fifa arseholes!!!Shit this has just ruined my day!!!

  112. slimshady says:

    Lmao GM, hahaha. yeah, hopefully he’ll be back to save our top 4 spot hahaha. FUCK!! Why does this shit happen to us??

  113. colonel mustard says:

    stick theo up top with AA as shadow striker….resembles a strike force anyway…eduardo wont last season either.

  114. ManGoonian says:

    Fuckin bollockin wanky cunts!

    God is a chav….

    Oh woe is us…

    Fuck sake, I am gutted….

    Im off to get drunk….

  115. ManGoonian says:

    “back to the old glass Robin”???

    Nice sentoment there…

  116. Geoff says:

    Michael I broke 11 ribs but was on the exercise bike within a week, the wrist break has been the worst, I am just getting back close to my best golf since August, it didn’t stop me trying though, and I’m not being paid £80k a week.

  117. Mimi says:

    I am out!! I need me a drink.

  118. ManGoonian says:

    Micky;

    Your mate has Sky Sports News then… Hardly inside knowledge fella! Haha! He cant put his contact lenbses in mate…

  119. sirhenrynorris says:

    Morning,

    Devastating news 5 months out, I feel sick.

    Big Raddy: A team that has aspirations to win things can not rely on Midfielders to continue scoring goals over a whole season. In games like the one last week you need the expertise of a RVP a Drog, a Torres to put away the few chances that are created.

    Of course we have to show our support to Eduardo and Vela to fill the role. The trouble is we have lost in Ade and now RVP a lot of the fiscal element needed for certain games not to mention experience.

  120. slimshady says:

    I certainly pray hope Wenger grows a set and bids fucking £60 mil for Torres. Hell I’d throw Eddie in there as well!!

  121. Geoff says:

    Thing is people, it does happen to us, every fucking season, so isn’t it time the manager twigged, and bought enough players in.

    Instead of depleting our squad every year, or am I being silly?

  122. leon says:

    i dont think its was mistake not buy another striker the fact we have not missed at ade at all and we still have a few attacking options in vela,aa,risicky,edwardo,and nikkib the fact is if this team is realy title winning team,this is used to dealing with injuries and they just have to handle,wenger statements is quite right you can no longer call this team young team any longer the time for excuses is long long time over,i am more worried about cd cover because i feel the attacking players we have can creat more than enough and just need to be clinical

  123. ManGoonian says:

    Lets play fantasy manager, that always helps…

  124. skandibird says:

    So, here we are again……. what’s going on??? I don’t think I can handle anymore injuries….. I thought Silvestre was ok when coming on for Gallas in the CL; but we still need to buy in a strong defender, Hangeland has signed an extension at Fulham and is happy there, so that one is out of the window, what about Mica Richard’s are we going to let him go to Spurs as rumoured? And Geoff I agree with you (as always) 2 more players will do it (experienced though as Arshavin says)this January is the opportunity and we should start approaching now, so when Jan 1st comes we slap down contracts.

  125. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    We have too many strikers… The fact we have this number of bad injuries is impossible to contemplate… NO fucker expected this amount mante….

  126. lewyd24 says:

    Hey guys
    This rvp situation is terrible for us. I think the without him we will still finish in the top 4 but no chance of winning the league. To win the league we need to bring in a great striker. Ray parlour was jus saying on sky sports that he wud love for us to get another torres.maybe arsene will surprise us.

  127. Micky Did It 89 says:

    Sky sports news is high tech to me!! Still, why cant Gallas put some fucking goggles on and get out there! What is he, some new fucking labour got fucking rights ponce

  128. ManGoonian says:

    mimi;

    Im with you on this one… Fuckin twat Italians and FiFa, not to mention the fact the Dutch actually had the nerve to play RvP in that meaningless friendly…

    Thats it, I wont be popping over the Amsterdam and spending my hard earned in their coffeee shops any more…

  129. ManGoonian says:

    Micky;

    Yeah mate! I reckon he would look hard as fuck with some pink swimming goggles on!

  130. lewyd24 says:

    We do have a lot of good strikers but none of them are on rvp level.

  131. goonermichael says:

    Geoff you wouldn’t get out of bed for less than a 100k lol

  132. Gunner8 says:

    Hej Skandi

    I have a feeling we are doomed, there is a serious hex on our club that coincided with Dein leaving… …we never had injury worries during the early Wenger years now since Dein left he must have placed a collective hex on the club and all within!

    Sorry to be so depressing on a Saturday morning but I have matched up the squads player for player and the only Arsenal players IMO who would walk in to the chavs team are Cesc and Vermaelen the rest don’t stand a chance… …I am going to need some serious drink inside me b4 kick off tommorow!

  133. ManGoonian says:

    I am more pissed off about the fact that we cant have your usual niggly in juries that keep players out for 2 or 3 weeks, nope, we have to have the season ending ones… Thats 4 or 5 players now who have injuries of over 3 months…

  134. Danny says:

    why does this shit ALWAYS happen to us? Arsenal have to follow chelsea and avoid international frendlies.
    Lampard,Terry,Essien,Drogba THEY ALL MISSED INTERNATIONAL DUTY YET ARE ALL GONNA PLAY TOMORROW.

    HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT WORK?

  135. Gunner8 says:

    Mangoonian, do you need a spare for the citeh game? I am heading up there and think I might have a couple

  136. slimshady says:

    Well ManGoon, this is probably the fourth time he’s going out for the season in between November – January.

    1. Against the Mancs
    2. In 2007
    3. Now this…

    Maybe its the third time I dont know and though it wasn’t his fault… its fucking maddening!!

  137. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    We’ve always had injuries as far as I can remember…. Bobby P for one, that was a doom filled injury, but we carried on and won the league…

    I am gutted, but we can still do it this season…

  138. colonel mustard says:

    how the frack is it that Lampard if he ever gets injured is back within two weeks…i admire the mans fitness compared to our sick notes…our injuries are scandalous for november.

  139. ManGoonian says:

    slim;

    Course its maddening, but the guy can hardly help getting “done” by a fuckin overzealous Italian clogger!

  140. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    Hey mate, no thanks, Ive already got me tickets fella…

  141. ManGoonian says:

    I have to go and have a little cry in a darkened room for an hour or so….

    AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

  142. Geoff says:

    Manc if you go back to the start of the season I said we would get a mass of injuries and we don’t have enough players.

    I think I said if history has taught us anything…

    Also we sold Ade and didn’t replace him, so if you think we have enough strikers, then by default you must have thought we had too many the year before.

    We have a lot of small forward players, one big one, and he’s injured.

  143. ManGoonian says:

    The squad looked way over sticked in the attacking areas at the start of the season… I was wondering how they would all play…. Now I fucking know!

  144. Gunner8 says:

    give him some Edgar Davids style headgear

  145. ManGoonian says:

    stocked, not effin sticked!

  146. colonel mustard says:

    ah how can you blame the italian, robin is made of glass…do they eat proper food? propbably living on salads and pasta…a few steaks might help with some Mustard obviously!

  147. Danny says:

    Liverpool are moaning about injuries and i can only count 2-3 players out. We consistently have several players out each season. We NEED to buy. Look at vermalen, look at arshavin. Ready made players…. and look how important they are to us.

    we NEED a ready made striker. Spend the money we got from adebayor. Why sell him if we are not gonna use the money when we NEED to.

  148. Geoff says:

    Actually it was a top tackle, I wish we had him in our team.

  149. leon says:

    lew i dont believe that and i can garantee you wenger does not if big players like edwardo,aa risicky if this team cant handlp a e a few injuries upfront then they were never realy title contenders at all,its now up to fringe players like vela,thoe plus risicky aa edwardo rasri nikki b that is alot attacking options so again rvp a big blow but no excuses for the key is being clinical in front of goal

  150. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    I felt we were more than covered actually… Especially as we are playing a different system, a system that Ade would have been shit in!

    I didnt feel we needed to replace him as we have several players who can come in…

    However, that has changed now, thanks to the news today…

  151. goonermichael says:

    Pulling muscles and being out because you are kicked is a bit different. fat Frank never gets hammered as far as I’ve seen.

  152. Gunner8 says:

    Yeah but the Bobby P one was the only serious one that season!

    Anyway by Wednesday we will have the FA Cup and CL to play for as well as fourth place… …sure we might pull off a couple of unlikly wins against the chavs and the nouveau chavs but long term the squad is very unbalanced with a bunch of lightweights who are going to get bullied in winter!

    doom, gloom and all… …someone get me a drink!

  153. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    He’s a clogger, another mertasacker! But you liked him as well!

    Mustard;

    Not surprised you would rather slate an Arsenal player… Thats your thang innit…

  154. Geoff says:

    Which is what happens every year Manc, I didn’t want Ade in the first place, I did however want Anelka.

  155. skandibird says:

    Hej Gunner8
    I’m going on Sunday, even though it’s due to ‘rain’ and my seat is only 4 rows away from the pitch and NOT under cover; I will be bitterly pi**ed off if I’m soaking wet watching a repeat of last spring game….. I reckon we’ll stuff the ‘shits’ from West London though.

  156. slimshady says:

    Hell by the way, good point that!! What’s with us and these 4 month plus injuries of late??? Are we that jinxed??!

  157. Gunner8 says:

    so RVP misses the season with us but will be ready just in time to help the Dutch in the world cup, refreshed and rearing to go!

    It’s fucking bullshit

  158. Micky Did It 89 says:

    ManG: 11:02.
    Just got the image in my head of Tony Adams in your pink goggles eyeballing Drogba before kick off. He would piss himself on the spot!

  159. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    Playing for 4th place??? Are you shittin me? Its between us and the chavs for the title… FFS!

  160. Gunner8 says:

    Hej Skandi, I sit right above you in the cozy confines of the club… …I will wave down!

  161. colonel mustard says:

    stating a fact ManG….not slating….how many seasons out now? come out of the fog buddy….

  162. ManGoonian says:

    Micky; Hahahahaha! :D

  163. Geoff says:

    I thought it was a great tackle, the bloke has a presence, he’d have Drogba in his pocket, that’s for sure.

  164. Gunner8 says:

    not by next week… …doom, doom, dooom!

    Look up the sky will fall on our heads!!!

  165. ManGoonian says:

    Nope,. dont wanna come out of the fog if it means I have to slate our own players, thanks… Calling him made of glass, is not a fact… Sheeeesh…

  166. Gunner8 says:

    he would nut dogbreath Geoff and give him a sly dig in the ribs… …the guy is a bit like that Materazzi in his attitude.

  167. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    Hahahaha! Next wednesday?? You mean the carling cup? We are already thru i the CL and the FA cup, unless we get a top team straight off, shouldnt be a problem either…

    Plus, I do expect signings in january, now (Gawd, I am deluded!)

  168. goonermichael says:

    Geoff you are so right about Anelka. He’s definitely grown up. did he sack his brothers?

  169. ManGoonian says:

    Chielinni is PANTS!

  170. colonel mustard says:

    jeeess..ManG Blinker City

  171. Danny says:

    i dont care how you put it. You lose your front man and your fucked.

    If chelsea lost Drogba for the season they would be fucked.

    If Liverpool lost Torres for the season they would be fucked.

    If Man United lost Rooney for the season they would be fucked

    We have lost Robin van Persie for the season so our title bid is over. I rate RVP very highly but this will ALWAYS HAPPEN to him!!

    NOW is the time, more than ever to buy. We have teams like City, Aston Villa and Tottenham that are looking at this and grinning like cheshire cats.
    We need a player like David villa who will slot right in. We will have fabregas supplying him… come on now.

  172. ManGoonian says:

    Right, I am off, need to pray…

    Adios bastardos!

  173. ManGoonian says:

    colonel;

    Jeeees, twat city!

  174. paul says:

    No other team in the premiership could cope with these injuries up front,we are the only team that can still provide top quality strikers in this situation.Don’t worry guys we will be the twelth man at the Emirates tomorrow.

  175. colonel mustard says:

    bye ManG..we will miss you…..

  176. paul says:

    Is Merida suspended for Man City?

  177. colonel mustard says:

    we will get steamrolled tomorrow…ya ya i know…..bring on the hate…

  178. Geoff says:

    Danny welcome, you are now free to blog, Alex, you aren’t, go learn to read.

  179. leon says:

    all this time we have been reving up players like edwardo,vela,aa,risicky and nikki b now we will realy see just how strong this squad realy is,but its all about tommorow game and its a game we need use our width and pace passing movement,drogba will be handfull but that nothing new i feel if gallas is out its puts at huge disadvantege and niether senderos or silvest can handle him,if we fall short in this it wont be because of injuries it will be becuase the squad is not good enough

  180. gambon says:

    ManGoonian,

    Its a bit different, Pires’s injury was with a few games to go.

    The injury situation is getting fucking ridiculous, no other clubs have anywhere near as many injury problems as us, it cant be luck anymore, its the preparation, or weakness of ur players.

    In the last year i make it (months rather than weeks);

    Bendtner
    Van Persie
    Eduardo
    Rosicky
    Nasri
    Walcott
    Denilson
    Diaby
    Cesc
    Clichy
    Gibbs
    Gallas
    Fabianski
    Almunia

    Which is just ridiculous.

  181. Gunner8 says:

    I’m with Danny, Arsene get the checkbook and nab a Villa in Spain!

  182. Micky Did It 89 says:

    Geoff: are you fit to play tomorrow? I like your attitude. “Alex. I dont like the way you spell your name. So fuck off.” If we have some of that tomorrow, we may out fox them. I’m off. Goon to the Moon.

  183. Gunner8 says:

    Gambon that is a whole squad out!

  184. Danny says:

    yes… merida got a red card in the reserve game with aston villa. He will miss the Man City game.

  185. skandibird says:

    Thanks G8; I’ll wave back with right hand showing my new ‘tatt’ inside wrist in scroll writing ‘Arsenal’…. I love it

  186. Paul88 says:

    Merida can play in the cc. His suspension starts on the 9th i think.

  187. Geoff says:

    Micky I’ll happily bring my boots mate!

    Alex, try rudeness, ignorance and the inability to understand the English language, I mean what the fuck does Aww mean? Did you get that from the Beano?

    Stop sending me comments, from now on they’ll go straight into trash, so they won’t even get read, not even for my amusement.

  188. goonermichael says:

    Geoff
    Could you ask Pedro to make a section in the sidebar where we can read some of the rejected comments from the knobs?n It would be amusing during downtimes

  189. zorr0 says:

    Morning all!

    RvP. Fuck! Time to spend in Jan it is then. I worry tomorrow at the height in our team, no Diaby, Nik or Rvp leaves us very short at set pieces. When the team came out the other night it looked like a visit from Lilliput!

    Mangoo, how’s things? Need a ticket for Weds night at Middle Eastlands?

  190. zorr0 says:

    Merida is available for Weds. STarts after Dec 9th.

  191. Geoff says:

    I did ask him to do a prick of the week once, but that would just encourage the same ignorant cocks to keep coming on! For their 15 minutes.

    I may stick some of the pearlers on though, they are funny, half of the pricks either haven’t read the post properly, or they don’t understand irony!

    For instance I said in one post that Henry didn’t hand ball it, he juggled it, I got several on asking me if I was blind! Go figure!

  192. Pedro says:

    Song on tele!

    Andre is the biggest moaner!

  193. leon says:

    gamdon most of injuries of come from pretty piss poor tackles thoe gibbs rvp,but we have not got that many injuries we rvp which long term brentna should be 3 -4 weeks that not long term,we dont that many injuries in midfield at the back well that just down to lack of real quality cover,we have good cover attacking wise and evon left back eboue or troae can play there i just think on last game so many players were flat fron international yes we have some injjuries but if you good squality squad which for most part we do then we will be able to handle it the team looks at closer and are fighting for each other now we had alot injuries last season but certain players were pulling there wate and was effecting the team,now that has been sorted and i think this will just have got it out

  194. Danny says:

    ok! lets look at our strikers from a defenders perspective.

    I aint no footballer so can only assume.

    If i was a defender i would be worried playing against the likes of:

    Anelka
    Drogba
    Rooney
    Defoe
    Bent
    Torres
    Adebayor

    Now lets look at our striking force.

    Eduardo,Bendtner,Vela,Walcott,RVP.

    Apart from probaly the last two, if your a top defender who would you be WORRIED about?

    David villa, his status alone would cause concern among defenders. Eduardo maybe clinical finisher but does not really have a presence like the list above.

    David villa has a proven record for club and country.
    Gone are the days of getting proven talent on the cheap. Real Madrid, Barcelona,Juventus,Man City are all spending big.

    We may have to follow suit on this one occasion.

    The way I see it is Adebayor was our front man. We sold him last year and promoted RVP as our front man. He is now out for the season. You can only promote your front man so many times in a year.

    But for me if we did not spend, Eduardo would be the ideal front man if the formation changes to 4-4-2. If its the 4-3-3 then maybe Bendtner as the front man.

  195. Pedro says:

    Robin the most skilful.

    Silvestre is the most intelligent!

  196. Gunner8 says:

    ZorrO great news if its true as Fran is looking great!

    Mangoonian said he has a ticket already and I think I will have a couple but looking forward to the trip up but not the trip back it’s a long shift in the car!

  197. Pedro says:

    Danny, David Villa is never going to move to Arsenal, there is no point in even contemplating it.

    Barca had a £40mill bid rejected in the summer.

    Eduardo is an amazing finisher and I think plenty of defenders would worry about him… Walcott is certainly feared… and I reckon given a chance, so will Vela.

  198. Gunner8 says:

    What about Kenwyne Jones?

  199. Gunner8 says:

    Grafite?

  200. Geoff says:

    Fuck me Pedro, if Silvestre is Arsenal’s most intelligent, it doesn’t say much for the rest does it!

  201. Gunner8 says:

    Luis Fabiano

  202. Gunner8 says:

    Palermo

  203. Gunner8 says:

    ok was kidding about Palermo, off for a quick bite

  204. Geoff says:

    What about Carlton Cole, on that not I’ll be back later!

  205. Danny says:

    Maybe so pedro…. a man can dream!!

  206. Danny says:

    Carlton cole im not sure. A big fish in a small pond at west ham. Not sure if he will do well for a big team.

  207. Danny says:

    He’s a great player though

  208. leon says:

    i feel there to much focus put on hieght diaby is one arsenals tallest players but is worst header of ball i ever seen vern gallas are both pretty short and are great on set plays and corners so i dont know

  209. Danny says:

    LEON you have no idea how bad diaby is at heading…

    the worst ever.. ever. lol

  210. Geoff says:

    He scored a great header when we played ManU what do you mean Leon???

  211. Danny says:

    He is a good dribbler though

  212. Danny says:

    That was the best header ive seen.

    Wow… the best!!

  213. colonel mustard says:

    but torres…break the F***kin bank….he is the worlds best striker. why do we always think small..

  214. colonel mustard says:

    buy torres i mean…opps Mavis Beacon will have me..

  215. reggie57 says:

    Because when you have a manager with a degree in economics we will always be careful with the readys?

  216. Danny says:

    Either way we cannot have the current striking force until the end of the season. There will be more injuries as well so……BUY BUY BUY.

    On that note, i gotta go out

    See ya

  217. Maciek says:

    Hello Danny. No chance, we won’t ever get Villa. Chamakh, Dzeko maybe, but not Villa.And it’s a shame. I have never though of us being serious title contenders so I can’t say I’m suprised. We will finish between 3rd- and 6th and end up our FA Cup and CL campaigns in the 1/4 finals.That’s all. Best wishes.

  218. Maciek says:

    *thought

  219. gambon says:

    Leon,

    So is it only our players who face poor tackles??

    No, of course it isnt.

  220. Maciek says:

    We have too many fragile players. We play some fantastic football, then go to Sunderland, Bolton, Hull and our problem starts.

  221. Maciek says:

    I wish I would have lived in 1998-2005 once again.

  222. ManGoonian says:

    Buy Torres???

    He’s injury prone with glass bits!

  223. ManGoonian says:

    Yes maciek, they are made of bolsa wood fella!

  224. Samir says:

    !!PISSTAKE!!

    RVP is pissing me off.
    I know he is an amazing player when fit but he never is.
    Every season he gets some sort of injury that ends his season.
    IMHO I think we should “sell” him.
    Imagine how much money he is going to get whilst injured…..
    How come no other top 4 team gets half a season injuries to their star player’s?

  225. ManGoonian says:

    gambon;

    Pires was injured in january (I think mate) So, there was still a lot of games left and he was in the form of his life too.

    van Persie has played well for us, but we have match winners in the team still…

  226. ManGoonian says:

    Haha! What aload of bollcoks!

  227. ManGoonian says:

    reggie reg;

    Hey there mate

    Zorr0; Yes bro! I am sorted for a ticket for Wednesday mate, cheers…

  228. ManGoonian says:

    Look, we have had a shit load of injuries this season, even more than we usually get and it is soooooo effin frustrating and could scupper our chances of winning shit this season…

    However, tomorow’s lineup will be missing 2 1st choice players; left back and RvP. Obviously Robin is a miss, but we are hardly struggling to put a team out…. And with the likes of Nasri, Cesc, Arshavin and Rosicly, we have the players to get a result… And I am sure we will…

  229. Gunner8 says:

    Pires was injured well into spring against Newcastle if I remember… …we all thought the worst and Freddie came in with a bagfull of goals to end the season!

  230. zorr0 says:

    MG, cool, still not decide whether to go or not as it would mean skipping an important work meeting at short notice. Shame, not been theie new ground, only the shit hole that was Maine Rd!

    Know anyone wants an adult spare, or even a 15 year old or under who might want a ticket for a quid!

    Maciek, keep up the optimism mate! Chesney had a good game for your lot the other day then? He played a blinder for Brentford on Weds or Tues apparently.

  231. ManGoonian says:

    G8; Yeah ut was against nerwcastle in the FA cup, I think, thought it was end of January though? Anyways, its not important… What is, is that I was right, as usual! :D

  232. zorr0 says:

    Gunner8, where you travelling up to Mancland from on Weds?

  233. ManGoonian says:

    Zorr0;

    Yeah, midweek home games are the same for me! Sorry, dont know anyone who needs a spare mate…

  234. Big Raddy says:

    I see the point of the angst about RvP. But we have been saying for ages that Theo/Vela/Dudu/Nik is our future CF. Now they get the chance.

  235. Gunner8 says:

    Mayfair via Highbury to pick up a couple of mates

  236. ManGoonian says:

    Bug R;

    No, van persie got himself injured on purpose and intentionally replaced his bones with bolsa wood and should be horse whipped and then sold….

  237. ManGoonian says:

    OMG! MY typin is for shite today! Sorry

    BIG RADDY

  238. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    Do you go pass Old Kent Road and the Water Works fella…?

  239. Samir says:

    We deffo had a chance of winning something before all these injuries.
    Now I’m not sure….

  240. Stu says:

    Holy shitballs! Just watching BBC and Mark Lawrensen said VP is now out for 5months. Say it aint so!

  241. Gunner8 says:

    Whatever Mangoonian, last time I was up your way was for a mates stag, we got shitfaced and sat in the West Ham end against citeh… …good laugh!

    citeh fans spent the whole game singing shit against yernited and the hammers apart from blowing bubbles sang shite against the southern chavs.

    “chelsea, whoever you may be, you ain’t got no history,
    Lampard’s Fat, Joe Cole’s queer,
    you’re going to win fack all this year!”

    Fantastic!

    that was when they lost the title and the Champions League final Klassic

  242. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    It is so, sorry to ruin your cornflakes…

  243. Stu says:

    Dont be daft MG. I’ve already eaten my coco-pops. No cornflakes here.

  244. Gunner8 says:

    heh!

    only stick to yellow, green and purple mate!

  245. Gunner8 says:

    well unless I am going to football and then I really have to slum it!

  246. incesc says:

    5 months fucking hell

  247. Stu says:

    5 fucking months? What the fuck happened? Why didnt the placenta shit work on VP and it worked on all the other cuinting clubs players?

  248. Maciek says:

    Sorry Stu. The sad reality is, he is out for the rest of the season.And we are doomed.I won’t be suprised if we fail to secured our cl place. I’m so depressed. Tomorrow Drogba and Anelka will make my depression even larger.

  249. zorr0 says:

    Gunner8, Mayfair? Ooooooohhhhh get you!!!! lol

    Off to play, top v 4th. Time to go kick some centre forwards! Used to style myself on Keown, but now I have a new hero; The Verminator!!!!!

  250. Franchise says:

    hi guys just heard the VP news. 8O

    ive always thought that we were a team packed with brittles 8) especially up front. Our most imposing CF has been deployed as a winger for most of the season

    6 years w/o the league wouldnt surprise me

    Make hay while the sun shines and whils our sn was shining we were busy sitting on ‘Moola’ ‘Cream’ ‘Green’ CA$H

    well accordiing to le boss, he couldnt find any player better than what we have……. so we should piss the league

    in the short term tomorrow is a must win game

  251. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Sorry, forgot you need your choco fix…

  252. choy says:

    fack just read about vp :(

    get well soon..

    stu, he needs an operation it seems

  253. Maciek says:

    Stu, it’s typical for us and Robin. He is injured in every season. Maybe it’s really time to spend BIG and break the bank for Villa and Dzeko?

  254. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    The placeneta shit wasnt even tried, they found out his injury was a lot worse than 1st prognosed… Fully fucked ligaments, instead of partially fooked…

  255. Franchise says:

    VP has already gone for the nations cup

  256. ManGoonian says:

    RvP has been fit for nearly 2 seasons, his last big injury was back in the 07-08 season

  257. SUGA3 says:

    ‘afternoon Grovers ;)

    seems like Adebayor’s voodoo shit DOES work…

  258. Stu says:

    Its not fucking fair Choy. Why do our players always have longer tiome out than first predicted while other clubs players always come back before predicted.

    Without VP we basically have no chance at winning anything major unless we adopt a defensive style like the CL final season. At to make it worse Bendtner (who would have replaced VP) is out too.

  259. Pedro says:

    Guys, someone has a spare ticket for the Chav game… £100 in Club level.

    E-mail in if you want it!

  260. gambon says:

    ManGoonian

    Pires was injured at the end of march with 6 weeks of the PL left, RVP is out for most of the season, they are way different.

    And that team had Henry, Dennis, Freddie

  261. ManGoonian says:

    Maciek;

    I am looking forward to you topping yourself if we lose tom orrw fella…

    FFS! Give it a rest with the prophecies of doom!

  262. ManGoonian says:

    gambon;

    March? Really? Well my bad then, but we still have Nasri, Cesc, Rosicky, Arshy, Theo, Vela and bendy aint too far away…

  263. Stu says:

    Its a right bastard MG. Why are our injuries alwasy diagnosed wrong. Knowing us VP could be out for 2 years like Rosicky. We should sue the dutch FA and Chiellini. Its the only thing to do.

  264. Maciek says:

    Franchise- BIG hello MATE. How are You? Well, the reality is, we have a very slim chance to beat cheslea. Arshavin suffers from depression, Eddie isn’t the same player he used to be before his injury( and it doesn’t suprise me at all). Without Gallas we are finised and our goalie is a clown. Our midfield is very fragile and will probably be outmuscled by Frank and Essien.

  265. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    I am gutted, fucked right off, but we can cope till xmas and then I hope Wenger pulls a rabbit out of his magic hat…

  266. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Well we should, at the very least, sue the Dutch for the wages… I know it was 1st dsaid they wouldnt be liable, but fuck that shit now!

  267. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    Yeah, you might be right there fella!

  268. choy says:

    stupid FA, these international friendlies should be banned!

  269. RayGooner says:

    Loïc Remy is going to sign for us in January…

    He now plays for Nice (which means he will not be Cup-tied for the CL), is 22 years old and has made his debut in the French National Team this season…

    This will be our front man for years to come…

  270. Danny says:

    Can you remenber when we beat chelsea 2-1.
    Who scored the winner for us again??

    And i dont think drogba was playing that game.

    Either way this is usually happens.

    We score first, then usually drogba equalises and scores the winner. Ugly horse looking motha fucka!!!

  271. Franchise says:

    in the case of Eduardo. he got injured in his honeymoon period. it doesnt surprise me that he isnt looking like the player he was once looking as.

    defenders know how dangerous he can be now so he has to step up his game. Its a bit like ‘police and thief’

    if wenger can pull this one off i would take my hat for him

    at least until Jan lets try and keep the gap btw us and chavski to 5 points and hopefully we would strngthen in January

    Im going to see the game tomorrow my first since my knee op. hope we win

  272. Samir says:

    He is expensive though Ray!

  273. ManGoonian says:

    choy;

    It was such a fuckin waste! Absolutely no need to play tha game…. Just a fuckin high profile game to make some dollar for the 2 FAs… Wankers… And that cunt Blatter whines about too many games yadda yadda, yet he invents comps like the confeds cup FFS!

    Its all about the money baby…

  274. ManGoonian says:

    Thats the spirtit danny…..

  275. Stu says:

    At least we dont have Toure this time. He was awful when we lost 4-1 last season. Who played next to him in that game? Gallas or SIlvestre?

  276. Maciek says:

    ManGoonia. I love this CLUB( I started supporting ARSENAL in 1993 and will be a Gunner till I die) but You can’t expect everyone to come here and say- everything will be fine, it’s ok. Our best striker is out, Arshavin suffers form depression, Gallas COULD be out and Almunia is a clown. We are making the same mistakes since 2005 and our SUPER manager still hasn’t got a clue what to do.We need to SPEND big on a world CLASS gk, 2 quality central defenders, a world class cdm and an offensive midfielder or a world class striker.I won’t be here tomorrow if we lose. I do not have any satisfaction seeing our Club suffering. Best wishes MATE. My heart tells me 1:1, me head tells me 3:1 to them. They are really STRONG. We used to be THAT strong. Remember? Take care.

  277. Danny says:

    Ray we need a striker to play immediately.

    Over 25 who is a prolific striker.

    We will have to pay premium though as it is mid season

  278. ManGoonian says:

    Ray;

    Is that just you hoping, or do you have some inside info fella?

  279. Stu says:

    Never heard of Remy but i wouldnt mind Gignac. He would probably be too expensive tho.

    If Bendtner wasnt injured he would be perfect to fill in for VP.

  280. SUGA3 says:

    MG, I seriously hope that we will win on Sunday, however, if the unthinkable happens we are screwed as far as league is concerned, taking into the account that we’ve just lost our most vital cog from the front 3 – it is not doom mongering, it’s just being realistic ;)

    I shall keep my promise to come back here to admit that the sun shines out of AW’s arse IF we beat Chav cunts…

  281. Samir says:

    We now need the following;
    1)New Striker

    2)New CB (s)?(Silvestre+Senderos out+Gallas replacement)

    3)New GK!

    4)A DM? Song is class. We don’t have any decent backup though!

  282. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Gignac??? He is pretty average IMO mate…

    Dont worry, we will sign Carlton Cole!

  283. Stu says:

    Got any proof MG, apart from him against Ireland of course.

  284. SUGA3 says:

    Cole is not good enough for Arse, I would rather have Jones…

  285. Stu says:

    So Vermaelen and Senderos tomorrow? Hmmmm Drogba to rip Sendy apart after sendy not playing all season and everyone say “he’s fuckin shit, innit”

  286. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    Get your speech ready dude!!! :D

    Even if we lost (which we wont) we are still in it…. Its a long old season…

    But I think we will win, the chavs have only played United and they were fuckin lucky to win that and the Mancs were missing their =defence and a few others…

    My only concern is the ref letting them cunts get away with murder and this new rule that sgtates we aint allowed any more penalties….

  287. ManGoonian says:

    ZStu;

    Wasnt that enough for you???

    Gallas will be fit, dont worry about that…

  288. Danny says:

    How lucky are Liverpool to have Torres.
    They dont derserve him. Arsenal player all day!!

  289. Franchise says:

    Bendtner for VP would have been an ok replacement. but i doubt that lad can fire us to the top of the league

    the vision wenger has for our club can only suceed if he can control uncontrollable events like injuries etc

    to an extent he can by buying fitter stronger players. we seem to put too much emphasis on technique

    its funny that although we all reckon that verm has settled into our back 4 quite well that we have still conceded a heap of goals

  290. Stu says:

    Tomato tomato SUGA. Neither are good enough for us.

    (oh..how i wish i could pronounce tomato 2 different ways so it wouldnt look like i was just saying tomato twice)

  291. Danny says:

    ha stu lol

  292. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    Well, A would probably disagree about that, but i was only joking anyways!

  293. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    How about a cheeky bid for Pavluchenko then???

  294. ManGoonian says:

    tomayto, tomarto…?

  295. Samir says:

    Pavluchenko?
    Chamakh is a lot better.

  296. Stu says:

    6m MG. Wouldnt be bad. The spurs connection would be offputting though.

  297. ManGoonian says:

    Wouldnt that be funny… The spuds sell us the player who fires us to the league!

  298. Stu says:

    Tom-ay-to ….tom-a-to… Better?

  299. Maciek says:

    Ok, I’m off! Have a great Saturday and Sunday guys! Take care!

  300. Pedro says:

    You can hide sites you don’t like on newsnow! Excellent!

  301. ManGoonian says:

    Samir;

    Chamkh is cup tied fella and I really dont see the Bordeaux chairman selling to us… And are you sure Chamakh is better? If we are gonna go for cup tied players, then Dzeko would be an option…

  302. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    That is excellent news… No more ANR it is then…

  303. Maciek says:

    Oh, well. One more thing. Could someone. please name 5-6 quality wingers, good enough for us? Di Maria, Turan and….?

  304. Danny says:

    Stay well clear from pav!!

    If he flops the spuds would love it!!
    ie Bentley @ spuds

  305. reggie57 says:

    See Mangoon you have given Maciek the right surreys now? what did you do!!

  306. Stu says:

    …or caughtoffside.com.

  307. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Haha, you would have to have the final say!

  308. Franchise says:

    Danny if u dont bid enough you dont deserve the likes of torres

    other tricks we have missed of recent

    1. ribery 18m in 2007. stated publically his desire to join us. present worth over 40m
    2. villa 20m in 2008. also stated his desire to join us. should spark bidding war next summer. would leave for at least 30m

  309. RayGooner says:

    Loïc Remy plays for Nice in Ligue 1 and has scored 7 goals in 13 games so far this season. Nice is a middle table team and has only scored 16 goals total, in Arsenal Remy will be a 20+ goals player each season, and yes, i do have inside information…
    and no, he won’t be that expensive…

    All i can say is keep your eyes open for this player…

  310. Stu says:

    No i wouldnt MG. ;)

  311. ManGoonian says:

    reggie reg;

    Haha! I feel soooo bad now!

  312. Stu says:

    RayGonner, there are no secrets on Le Grove. Out with it. Whats the inside information?

  313. Maciek says:

    Why don’t we just pay 35 m and buy Villa?

  314. Franchise says:

    Maciek im good. we might lose tomorrow we might win. its important we win

    IMO its not about teams u should win against or vice versa but winning enough teams to win the league

    by tomorro chelsea would have played the 3 top sides at least once, we would have liverpool to come in december

  315. ManGoonian says:

    Franchy;

    Not sure about any of those players mate…

    Ribery went for the money and Villa seems hell bent on staying in Spain, he has said he likes the way we play, etc, but thats about it…

    We did miss out on Ronaldo though! :wink:

  316. Stu says:

    35m for a 28year old. Dream on Maciek.

  317. reggie57 says:

    So you should mate its unlike you to rub someone up the wrong way :lol:

  318. jamie m says:

    I have a bad feeling chelsea will try to hurt and injure Cesc,which would basically end our title chances and probably our season. it is depressing to think we’re one strategically mis-timed tackle away from that.I’m gonna put a hundred on Eduardo to score the goal in a 1-0 and might well be a pen.

  319. SUGA3 says:

    Kenwyne Jones is the dog’s bollocks – he is surprisingly agile for his size…

    there should be 2 massive bruisers in the starting 11 – one in the middle & one in the front three IMO…

    but hey, who needs size, it’s fine to have all the midgets sidelined for the most of the season: it’s not only about the ability, size & strength creates space for the Dwarf Muay Thai Fighters :lol:

  320. ManGoonian says:

    Yeah Stu, Caught offside and Goal and a few others that I cant remember right now…

  321. ManGoonian says:

    Reggie; :D

    Stu;

    Yeah, I dont think Villa would come to England anyways…

  322. Samir says:

    I think Chamakh is out of contract in the Summer, they could either take 5-6M now or get nothing for him in the Summer?
    Dzeko is better than him but how much would he cost :O.

    I go to Morocco every year (Mum is Moroccan) and everyone there raves about him.
    I have a mate living in Lens as-well who supports Bordeaux. He rates him V.highly. He said that he is improving very quickly as he’s getting the starts. All Chamakh needs to improve on his long shots. Seeing we don’t take any of them he would be fine here :D

  323. ManGoonian says:

    jamie;

    Jeeeeezusss dude! You been sat there thinkin up worse case scenarios on a Saturday???

    Come on man! Snap the fuck out of it!!! :roll:

  324. ManGoonian says:

    Syag3;

    Guess what? I dont agree with your assessment of Jones!

    Like the way you are sticking to your guns about the big bruisers though!

  325. Franchise says:

    ManG Ribery didnt leave for the money. Arsenal didnt bid for him although wenger showed interest

    as for Villa he said he would love to join us but we dint also bid for him

    wenger appeal is still as strong as ever for many top players. wengers valuation is the problem

    the fuuny thing is that any of villa, ribery, torres etc would all have been financially good investments as for their involvement on the pitch u can amost bet 100% on that

  326. Samir says:

    I’m sure Remy was said to be worth 12-16M?

  327. ManGoonian says:

    Samir;

    I honestly think Bordeaux would refure to sell him to us, after all the shit in the summer and since then… Even if it meant them losing him for free in the summer, they would take that option, or try and find another club, IMO. They are in the next stage of the CL too, so wouldnt wanna lose him…

  328. Mayank says:

    I know lets put Arsh in RvP’s place and move Eddy to the LW…

  329. Stu says:

    Ribery joined Bayern because he supported them. He lived near the french-german border so….

  330. ManGoonian says:

    Franchise;

    Ribery said he would only go to a champions league team and then signed for Bayern, who werent in the competition! he went for the wages, pure and simple… Plus, he is way over rated anyways…

  331. Stu says:

    When is Bendtner due back?

  332. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    2 or 3 weeks I think mate…

  333. Mayank says:

    Also if we do buy a replacement I think it might be someone older so he doesn’t stop the development of the others…

  334. SUGA3 says:

    surprise, surprise, MG :lol:

    Premiership is physical, we can play our pretty triangles all day long, but sometimes there’s the need to show who The Daddy is ;)

    Cana was all over us in the Sunderland game, but no problem, we have Denilson, don’t we? brilliant player as he may be, he lacks physique to match the likes of Obi Mikel or Essien…

    Drogba & Anelka are massive, and the son of the shoplifter is no midget either and we have no lump to match these attributes…

  335. ManGoonian says:

    November 26
    Nicklas Bendtner underwent groin surgery in Germany on November 10 and is now around two weeks away from a return.
    “I think it will take another two weeks for him to be back in full training,” said Arsène Wenger.
    ____________________
    He should be back next week then…

  336. Samir says:

    Ye MG, I agree with that.
    Wenger and Blanc are not very good mates after we unsettled Chamakh in the Summer.
    Chamakh did say earlier;
    Chamakh said: “My future? I don’t know. It is up to me.

    “At the club, the door is open. When I make my decision, I will reply yes or no. I am thinking about it at present.

    “I just want to achieve a great season with Bordeaux and maybe then sign for a club in the Premier League.

    “However it would be fine moving in January for a fee so everyone could take advantage of the transfer.”

  337. dronawenger says:

    It sure seems to be raining cats and dogs with regards to news on the injury front for Arsenal. Just before the international break everything seemed to be rosy for Arsenal, but the November jinx seems to have caught up with Arsenal (even Wenger seems to think so).

    I really think we would win tomorrow, with a similar performance that we displayed against Everton. Remember no one gave us any hope at the start of the season. Arshavin Man of the Match.

  338. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    Your love of a big lump is commendable fella!

  339. Samir says:

    Maybe we should try Silvestre+5M.
    Would be like getting him for free :)

  340. Stu says:

    Anelka hardly qualifies as massive. He is as physical as VP. Neither of them use their height for anything.

    Obi Mikel doesnt use his physicallity either imo. He is just tall. He doesnt put himself about or anything. Drogba is really their only player known for manhandling opponents.

  341. Mayank says:

    Suga3
    Cana held his own against us Song completely over-shadowed him… We didn’t lose that game in the middle we lost it in the final 3rd…
    As if Bent wouldn’t score against us!!

    Sad part is when RvP blew the whistle on the placenta it’s only helped our rivals…

  342. Franchise says:

    ManG Arsenal was Ribery’s cinderella club as no one else came in for him he left to Bayern

    Even after the world cup in 2006 Henry tried to persuade Wenger to sign Ribery he was going for about £15m. Wenger refused his excuse was he had Hleb and Rosicky

    wenger didnt move for him but ended up paying 3-4m less a year later for Nasri. who would I have preferred? heaven knows ;)

  343. ManGoonian says:

    I blame Wenger! He kept on goin on about the November curse until it affected the players fitness and their bones gave way!

  344. SUGA3 says:

    it’s not just the size, it’s the mean attitude of a bully (not of that cuntish kind) that comes with it – problem with these is that they usually don’t react to anything but a hairdryer ;)

    JET could be one with the right guidance – more loans would probably do wonders, as he will grow to be Diaby Mk II under Wenger…

  345. Gunner8 says:

    I am depressed, 1-3 easy tommorow… ..all the chavs goals from set pieces

  346. Danny says:

    If i had to call 1st goalscorer tomorrow id say the v man as he has a good shot and attacks the ball well. Although i would want denilson to score. Love that celebration!!!

  347. Franchise says:

    as long as wenger and arsenal fans are happy that we would keep missing out on the championship we can continue to risk our squad nos and quality. its getting depressing now. same old same old

  348. ManGoonian says:

    Franchy;

    Id take Nasri every time fella…For loads of reasons too.

    Nasri has as much talent and works harder and isnt as much as a destabilising influence, IMO…

    I fuckin love Nasri! He is a gem of a player… Watch him do the bizznizz tomorrow!

  349. Gunner8 says:

    I’m off before I top myself

  350. RayGooner says:

    The inside information about Remy is:

    1. Wenger always buys relatively unknown players
    2. Wenger often look to french players on the market
    3. The deal has been leaked in french media and Wenger hasn’t commented on it yet…
    4. Wenger doesn’t talk much about the players he REALLY wants….

    Surely you can all see where this is going…

  351. SUGA3 says:

    Stu,

    It’s not height, it’s the overall body strength I’m talking about in respect of Anelka et al…

    if we don’t click into rhythm straight away, we’re in for a very long 90 minutes…

  352. Stu says:

    What celebration Danny. The shit little dance he does that is shit?

  353. Franchise says:

    what happens when the injury curse inflicts the likes of gallas, verm and song at the same time???? 8O 8)

  354. Mayank says:

    G8 if RvP was due back day after would your views be different?
    I think we’ll nick it, we’ll have more possession our strikers will decide the game…

  355. Samir says:

    I hope Grant makes the Portsmouth players play their heart’s out and beat Man U t’day…..

  356. Mayank says:

    We’ll be out of the title race Fran…

  357. Stu says:

    Thats anything but inside info Ray. THats just a wild assumption imo. Just because he is french, unknown and linked with arsenal means nothing.

  358. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    No effin way fella! We are keepin a clean sheet and scoring 2!

    Franchise;

    No Arsenal fan is happy to miss out on the title, thats a falacy…

    I thought we had no chance last season from the off, this season we have a great chance…

  359. Danny says:

    I find his celebration hilarious!!!

  360. Franchise says:

    ManG too many similar players we have. The dynamism that we lack at times on the wide positions Frank would have given us

    I love Nasri too but………… (fill in the gaps)

  361. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Word of advice, dont go on about brick shit houses with Suga3! He wont stop goin on and on and on about it mate!

  362. Dutchman says:

    Guys, we all don’t see one thing, if gallas is out(I think that he will be OK,arsenal will do everything to start him) then song can do the CB job. Everyone knows what wenger said about song. But just let’s hope that gallas is starting.

  363. Franchise says:

    Walcott is meant to be one of our explosive wide players but he is such a let down so far i must admit

    hope he steps up. Was wenger right to convert the lad to a winger????? >

    ……… knows

    fill in the blanks

  364. ManGoonian says:

    Franchy;

    Vela is direct and so is Arshy too…

  365. RayGooner says:

    well Stu, just remember where you heard it first…

  366. Geoff says:

    Wenger never buys names, outside of Arshavin, Gallas was a swap, Henry a dud, Bergkamp was Rioch’s.

    Look at his keepers, Manninger, Shaban, Lehmann, Almunia, Fabianski…

    He’ll buy fuck all, if he though Simpson was any good he’ll bring him back, but we need height and Watt is still too young.

    We’ll win tomorrow, they’ll get two sent off, trust me, I have inside information.

  367. patthegooner says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Just saw the news on RVP….

    Gutted

    I think we need to buy Chamakh or someone else in the January Transfer Window. Maybe there was some truth in the Ruud Van Horseyface rumour after all.

    Unless of course one of Bendtner, Vela or Eduardo hit form and start banging them in. Maybe it is even time to think about getting Theo upfront.

    Bad news though, and now a win tomorrow is vital for many reasons, otherwise the vultures will be circling on us again.

  368. ManGoonian says:

    Franchy;

    Are you doin a crossword or sumfin??? :D

    I think Theo is set to go up top this season, apparantly, he has been put on the wiongs to learn his trade, a bit like Henry…

  369. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    Like the score and game predictions!

  370. Stu says:

    False MG! Wenger didnt put Henry on the wing. Juventus did. I have inside info so im not to be questioned on this.

  371. Dutchman says:

    Mayank, maybe we are out tomorrow but I think we can go for 2th spot. With bentner as a striker. In his national team(denmark) he plays very well there. Also he has played there against liege(he was incredible) and he switched positon with eddie in the cc game against liverpool(he scores a cracker). He can do that job for sure!

  372. Geoff says:

    Look guys, if Wenger was right, and all these players that so many rate are as good as so many say they are, what’s the problems, we only have Robin missing, we still have all the other great players don’t we?…

  373. Samir says:

    Remember this game V Chelsea.
    We should have won 4-0 at least.
    We missed so many chances.

  374. Stu says:

    Bendtner will be top scorer is he plays CF for the season. This aint no lie!

  375. ManGoonian says:

    If we are on our game, we will win tomorrow, we are a better team than the chavs…. Ancelotti has enjoyed a nice honeymoon period and has been lucky too; they played a very poor liverpool team and an injury hit and luckless mancy team too and both at home…

    Their luck will end tomorrow and they will realise they aint the dogs bollocks that the fawning sycophantic media have portrayed them as…

  376. incesc says:

    stu

    fabs will be top scorer, or david villa :)

  377. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Wenger had Henry on the wing at Monaco…

  378. ManGoonian says:

    Anyways, its a moot point, the main pint being that Theo was put on the wing so he can get game time and learn his trade while not being the focal pioint at such a young age… He will be moved forward soon enough, possibly sooner now…

  379. Samir says:

    It was funny how Terry took out Fabregas and then Eboue (Legend) got him right back!

  380. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    I think we have the players… A poor game after a stoopid 2 week international break aside, we deffo have the capablilities to turn over any team… WE cant afford anu=y more injuries though!

  381. ManGoonian says:

    Samir;

    That was hilarious mate!

  382. Geoff says:

    I have to go now but I hope every joins me in wishing that Robin Van Persie gets fit again in time to give his all for Holland. They need him so much and it would be awful for him not to be there for that important two weeks.

    Also thank god that Wenger got him to sign that £80k a week contract before he missed the whole season injured again.

    I sincerely hope you all join with me. Bye!

  383. Mayank says:

    Dutchman we won’t lose and we won’t be competing for no 2nd spot!
    People forget how good Chelsea were last year before they repeatedly shot themselves in the foot…
    We’ll be up there.

  384. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    You sarcy sod!

  385. Franchise says:

    if i want to remember how old i am i just remember how young i was when we last won the title ;)

  386. Geoff says:

    Manc he only put Henry on the wing because he had Trez and he didn’t need two centre forwards.

    As far as the players are concerned, you are about to find out if they are as good as you say, we’ll see.

  387. Franchise says:

    Mayank can you remeber how shit we were last year??

    ur point dont hold weight

  388. Mayank says:

    geoff the players have to be good enough we couldnt find any better than what we got at the moment

  390. Franchise says:

    do i think we would remain in the race? i hope so

  391. Mayank says:

    It sorta does Fran because they’re old… While we will get better with time (and Arsh and Verm) they can only go worse…
    And Ancelloti ain’t no genius… He repeatedly came 2nd in a 2 horse race…

  393. Stu says:

    Milan were sooooo shit under ancelotti that despite being involved in match fixing they only won he only won the league once in 8 years.

  394. Franchise says:

    different scenarios Mayank

    ac milan and chelsea are completely different scenarios

    ur chelsea old argument is silly they are old enough to win the league with ease IMO

    Terry, Essien, Cuntley, Bosingwa, Cech are all at their peak levels

    Drogba and Fat Frank are sustaining levels of the past

    Anelka is on fire

    and they can splash a bit in Jan

  395. Franchise says:

    at least we know if ancelotti deems it neccessary he would spend in Jan ssame can not be said of le boss

  396. Stu says:

    Ancelotti aint got no monies to be spending…Roman be broke.

  397. Franchise says:

    Ivanovic, Alex, Kalou, Zhirkov are not anyway old or bad subs

  398. Franchise says:

    Roman broke is that why a £50m bid was made for Frank Ribery in the summer

  399. ManGoonian says:

    Before the season started Arsenal were out of the top 4, two weeks ago we were gonna win the league and score the most goals ever, now we are doomed….

    Ah that old Arsenal rollercoaster…

  400. ManGoonian says:

    Ivanovic and Kalou are shite though…

  401. ManGoonian says:

    Franchise;

    You believe all the paper talk???

  402. Mayank says:

    As usual you’re bigging up our opponents…
    I never said we’ll walk the league, for us to win it Chelsea will have to fuck up…

    I just think it’s possible that they do considering they aren’t any better than last year and also considering their 2 pillars will be leaving for a month (hopefully)…

    Frank Anelka Bosingwa and Cech are hardly on fire as you suggest…

  403. ManGoonian says:

    Mayank;

    This is a chav appreciation blog for some…

  404. Franchise says:

    Its not paper talk ManG its Bayern talk

  405. Franchise says:

    ManG its a blog for all types even the rose tinted spec wearers

  406. ManGoonian says:

    You believe all the bayern talk Franchy???

  407. Stu says:

    Isnt Bosingwa injured? Why else has Ivanovic been playing right back for weeks. Cech is average now. Its gonna be a toss up on sinday to see which keeper is worse.

  408. ManGoonian says:

    Take your chav blue tints out fella! :wink:

  409. Mayank says:

    You should come here when we play your neighbours Mang… SAF would probably get a tear in his eye seeing the appreciation he and his team gets…

  410. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    We need out match winners to turn up tomorrow…

  411. Stu says:

    Lauren Blanc is doing well isnt he. French champ and 4 wins in a tough CL group.

  412. Franchise says:

    like i said earlier it could be 6 years since we lifted the barclays prem. What wld be annoying if this happens wld be that we could have tried harder to prevent it.

    Mayank try think for yourself. if sm1′s dad is a paedo he isnt mandated to deny it because of family ties. Say as u see it :P on that note im off

  413. ManGoonian says:

    Every opposition player is better than anything we have… Its simple;

    They dont play for Arsenal, so must be brilliant, whereas all our players are shite…

  414. ManGoonian says:

    Mayank;

    The herd say you need to think for yourself, whats your response to that..?

    Baaaaaaaaaa…

  415. Franchise says:

    chavs are geriatrics, mancs are not good enough. what wld we then be if we finished below them both. let me guess…….

    UNLUCKY

    the life of a rose tint 8)

  416. ManGoonian says:

    Laters Franchy…

    Dont go changing… :D

  417. ManGoonian says:

    Id rather be a rose tinter than a miserable git!

  418. ManGoonian says:

    If we finish below the chavs and mancs then we havent done as well as we should, IMO. This season is a great chance to win the league.

    The mancs aint as good as they were last season, while the chavs are the same old chavs… The scousers have blown it, it seems, while we are better than last season, how much better wiull become evident in may…

    So to go on about that scenario now, is kinda churlish…

  419. Franchise says:

    We have the

    1. the grass is greener on the other side
    2. the grass is greener on this side
    3. the grass is green on this side but some patchy sections of brown. lets spend on some gardening

    who are you?????????

  420. Mayank says:

    If sm1 dad has a BMW and his neighbour has a Merc should the son consistently tell him how great the Merc is and how the Beemer sucks…
    It’s not much of an analogy but it’ll have to do…
    P.S. I am considering that BMW is superior to Merc for this post…

  421. ManGoonian says:

    Francy;

    Have you moved on to the kryptic crosswords now???

  422. Franchise says:

    ManG hope we stuff the chavs tomorrow

    arsenal and fiorentina cost me £2515 last weekend on my £5, 14 european game accumulator last weekend

    fucking cunts

  423. ManGoonian says:

    The fact you want to label and pigeon hole people, instead of seeing them as individuals is a sad indictment of todays throwaway, gold fish bowl, instant society…

    I am literally weeping… Boo hoo…

  424. Mayank says:

    3. the grass is green on this side but some patchy sections of brown but we have the best garden so we’ll win it anyway…
    Save the money for gardening to buy a BMW…

    League leaders Chelsea make the short trip across London to the Emirates this weekend for what promises to be an intriguing match. Arsenal bounced back from their defeat at Sunderland with a 2-0 Champions League win over Standard Liege but Carlo Ancelotti’s team will be a far sterner test.

    The Gunners have played some excellent football once again this season and the amount of goals they’ve scored is incredible. However, they were unable to score for the first time last weekend at the Stadium of Light which emphasized just how much they missed their main striker Robin Van Persie. The Dutchman has been the central figure in Arsene Wenger’s 3-pronged attacking unit and without his hold up play, the Gunners may struggle to keep possession as high up the park as they are used to against the strong defensive unit Chelsea possess.

    Van Persie may not be the most physical of players but he is stronger in possession than Eduardo or Carlos Vela who are the candidates to replace him at the weekend. Both John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho will test the physical side of the strikers games at every opportunity. There will be a healthy respect shown from the Blues towards Arsenal but unlike some teams that have visited the Emirates this season, they won’t fear them. Why should they? They have only conceded 8 times this season and have a very healthy scoring record themselves.

    Arsenal will be more than aware that Chelsea strike duo Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka relish playing against the Gunners. Thomas Vermaelen has had a great start to his new career in North London but he will face a real tough ride against the strength of the big Ivory Coast hitman and the lightning pace of the Frenchman. Drogba’s record against Arsenal is superb; he has scored eight goals in his last eight appearances against the Gunners in all competitions. It’s no surprise that of the last 11 meetings between these two sides, Drogba’s eight appearances have resulted in 7 wins and one draw. In his absence Chelsea have lost two and drawn once. So his inclusion this weekend will set alarm bells ringing for Arsene. To top it off Anelka has scored 7 goals in his last nine Premier League starts against the Gunners so those two will fancy their chances of grabbing goals.

    Chelsea won 4-1 at the Emirates last season which was Arsenal’s worst home defeat in Premier League history and their worst home league defeat since March 1977 but I don’t expect a repeat. That game came at a period in the season when Arsenal had just been humbled in the Champions League semi-final by Manchester United but confidence will be far higher in the Gunners camp this time around.

    Andrey Arshavin may play a key role if the North Londoners are to upset the league leaders. Since joining the club he has started 20 Premier League matches, winning 14 and losing just once. Of the five games he hasn’t started, Arsenal have lost three. If the Russian is on his game then he could be the key to cutting open a strong looking Chelsea defence with his incisive running and shooting ability.

    Arsenal have only been able to win two of their last 14 competitive matches against Chelsea and I don’t expect them to win this weekend. Chelsea look formidable at the moment but I fancy a draw in this one despite the fact Ancelotti’s team are the only Premier League side not to have drawn a match this season.

    It should be an exciting game between two teams that have scored 69 league goals between them so far this campaign. However, I am backing a high octane even encounter with a point apiece the final outcome on this weekend

  443. ManGoonian says:

    What was the many pen?

  444. ManGoonian says:

    mancy penalty, sorry…

  445. ManGoonian says:

    This is for mark Gooner;

    “It is a real shame for me, for the team and for the fans of Arsenal, but I hope the boys keep believing in themselves. I am absolutely convinced they will keep improving and keep the good form of the last few months going,”

    Sorry Robin, you are injured, therefore we must seel you… Fickle you say??? Nah, never…

  446. KM says:

    Hi all

    it seems we are the underdogs for the Chelsea game. A lot of ppl like Lawro, Hansen, other media rats believe we are too soft to win the league – but if we beat the Chavs it’l be a hell of a result. I believe the chavs are the best team in Europe atm.

    Michael Ballack On Chelsea’s Chances Against Arsenal, Hopeful Of Champions League Glory
    Midfielder claims Blues have deserved to win Europe’s biggest club prize.

    Michael Ballack
    Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has proclaimed that, while clashes at the top of the table early in the season may yet prove decisive, winning does breed confidence in the club, and the shape of the team.
    The Blues, who currently sit atop the Premier League, play Arsenal on Sunday, and should the Stamford Bridge side secure maximum points, they will further distance themselves from the chasing pack.

    He told the Independent: “In the past I had the opinion that you could lose a big game to a big team and it doesn’t decide the title, but winning gives you a massive confidence for the next weeks.

    “If you beat Manchester United or Liverpool, you know the team worked well, you are in good shape, you beat the best team, you can beat the best teams in the league. It gives a sign to the other clubs but also to yourself. It is a big, big point in the season.”

    Meanwhile, the Germany international added his experience in London is yet to live up to his initial ambition. The former Bayern Munich talisman wanted to lift the Champions League with the west Londoners; something he – and the rest of the Blues – came agonisingly close to in 2008.

    He added: “I knew what to expect. To come to a great, experienced team, I did not expect it goes like this, easy, to win the league every year. The other teams are too strong for this. I came here to win trophies. To win the Champions League, that’s why I came here. There is still a big chance with Chelsea, with this team.

    “There is a really, really high expectation from everybody but it starts with the owner and it goes down to the staff, the coaches, to fans, to sponsors.

    “That’s why we changed a lot of managers in the past few years. If you see the games we have played, especially in the Champions League, I think we deserved to have won it once, at least. But we haven’t done it so it is still the target and we are close to it.”

  448. goonermichael says:

    We are underdogs according to everybody. But I disagree about them being best in Europe. They looked average against the mancs.

  449. David says:

    Isnt that the same dickhead that refused to give Arshavin his penalty at Old trafford?

  450. Big Raddy says:

    Most of the people writing on here think we are underdogs. Why should the pundits think differently?

    Sell RvP? Madness.

    Who next? Clichy? Bendtner?

    FFS. Some even talk of selling Mozart ! Why…. because he hasn’t become the super player he was some time ago. The man has only been back for 5 games!! Give the guy a break…..

    And some write as though we have already lost to the Chavs.

    & who is to say that the Chavs will have a brilliant end of season ? They are getting old and could well run out of steam.

    In my eyes, support implies positivity (apart from the BBK )

  451. David says:

    Also when Dean officiates that idiot Fletcher has a license to foul

    Sell Bendtner Yes!

    Did you try any placenta on your acl?

  456. zeus says:

    Oh the fucking shock and horror. So I just awoke to the news courtesy of BBC sportworld that RVP is virtually out for the season. FFS! So Fat frank and Glen Johnson gets the placenta treatment and are cured, but Rvp needs surgery, how fucking ironic is that.

    Well to all those that wanted a next striker, you’ve got it,hopefully.

    I’m already having daymares of 2007-2008. Wenger can’t say he couldn’t anticipate this or that injury, at any minute now I expect another important player,ie Verminator or Gallas, to get injured. How could things get this fucked up so soon?

  457. MARK GOONER says:

    man goonian do u suggest we stick with him so he can get injured again and fuck up our chances, it aint hes fault, but we are in a business of winning games and if he aint cant be relied upon to play games, what good is he

  458. Franchise says:

    GM yes I did. Robot placenta is the dogs bollox

    More effective than animal or human

  459. ManGoonian says:

    Mark Gooner;

    Read the quotes from RvP and stop being such a fickle twat…..

  460. ManGoonian says:

    Sellhim? As Big R says, madness!

    He had been injury free for 2 seasons, he is a top top class player, why the fuck should we sell him???

  461. ManGoonian says:

    It is hilarious how the 1sr instinct of some peeps is to seel a ny player who gets effin injured… What a sad state of affiars and what sad shitbag support…

  462. goonermichael says:

    so mucjh for the new manager effect. portsmouth are being fucked by the looks of it

  463. ManGoonian says:

    And some hack in one of the rags said Nasri was injury prone too… Fuck sake, the fella had his leg broke!

  464. ManGoonian says:

    goonermichael;

    Avram Grant is a shite manager with no experience. he took over the chavs when it is clear,they are run by the coaching staff and seniuor players…

  465. Dutchman says:

    Simpson has scored for QPR again. He is very good there.

  466. goonermichael says:

    we should have definitely have sold Eduardo. His leg is made of lego

  467. goonermichael says:

    Mangoonian
    You been listening to Tony Gale?

  468. Pedro says:

    Afternoon all!

    Just been catching up with the debate. ManG, calling people twats because they share a different view on players is pretty childish.

    If we fail this season, you’ll be the first to point out our injury issues.

    I don’t agree with directly selling player who get injured… but I think you have to assess certain players records and factor them into your squad decisions.

    Rosicky, RvP, Diaby and Nasri will all spend substantial period in the physio room. If you’re to sustain a challenge, the players behind them need to be good enough to replace them.

    I’m not sure if we have the ability to cover those players. We certainly don’t have the quality to cover an injury to one of the centre backs…

    So I wouldn’t sell them, I’d just reassess the squad based on not having those players for large chunks of the year.

  469. ManGoonian says:

    Adebayor subbed, another shite, half arsed performance and he stamped on a Hull player, apparantly…

  470. MARK GOONER says:

    mangoonian , injury free season for 2 years, really, he missed last 2 months of last year, and the year before that he was out for 3 and a half months and this year hes been ruled out of the season in novemeber

    good maths

    rvp when FIT is top class, but hes fit hardly ever

  471. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    Old bean, I’ll reign it in!

  472. MARK GOONER says:

    lets stick by rvp, for next 5 years. who cares if hes injured, after all we dont care how arsenal perform, as long as rvp is it at the club

  473. ManGoonian says:

    I am soooo glad my club has such great fans liek you Mark, what a star you are… No, seriously…

  474. ManGoonian says:

    Mark;

    Keep digging that hole…

  475. ManGoonian says:

    Anyone woyuld think he gets injured on purpose…

    If he was injury prone, he’d have been retired!

    Jeeez, you jerk that knee much more, you might injure yourself…

  476. MARK GOONER says:

    if a player constantly gets injyred year in year out, how can we rely on him

  477. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    Hahaha! That is exactly what I meant!

  478. Gunnersmith says:

    my line up prediction for tmr

    ————–Almunia——————
    Sagna——-Silvestre/Gallas-Verm——–Traore/Silvestre

    Rosicky—–Fabregas—Song——Nasri

    ———–Arshavin——————–
    —————–Eduardo————

    Formation 4 4 2

    score 3 1 to the gunners :-)

  479. Pedro says:

    ManG, Darren Anderton carried on till he was 38…

    Knee jerk isn’t making a decision after watching him get injured for the best part of 5 out of the last 6 seasons.

  480. MARK GOONER says:

    mangoonian, unlike u mate i go week in week out home and away, and have been for 7 years, great fans like u, who just cause u like van persie, would rather have him waste a position in our squad, then sign someone who can contribute to our season
    he obviously doesnt get injured on puropse, but does that mean we stick by him, paying him more then anyone in our squad

  481. ManGoonian says:

    Mark;

    If we rely on him, that implies he is a fucking good player! Dont you get it? He was injured when he first arrived, but wasnt the top player he is now, therefore that shows how he has developed, the fact he has suffered this major injury is terrible for him, do you think he is effin happy??? Fuck sake, we go on about loyalty from players, he has been well loyal and you can see he loves this club, but look at your reaction to his horrible injury?

    Its pretty bad mate…

    Look, I dont wanna argue with you, I just think he deserves a bit more respect…

  482. Gunner8 says:

    Dutchman it is about his level!

  483. Pedro says:

    Muse at Glasto… ok, I can take that… levels out the U2 thing a bit.

    ManG, the blog of love… twat isn’t a loving word…

    Ive been every game this season, bar Sunderland and the chavs tomorrow, so fuck off and get your facts right…

  485. goonermichael says:

    now now there’s no need for handbags

  486. Dutchman says:

    I don’t know,G8? I like him a lot.

  487. Gunner8 says:

    Hammers have 5!!!

  488. Gunnersmith says:

    Hull Penalty lolllllllllll

  489. Gunner8 says:

    but TWUNT is

    Dman, who Simpson? he is ok but not Arsenal standard, Afobe and Aneke might well be

  490. Pedro says:

    ManG, did you post on Gunnerblog?

    Venomous…

  491. ManGoonian says:

    Blog of love my arse… :D

  492. goonermichael says:

    If we sold RVP cos of his injuries why would anyone want Torres?

  493. Dutchman says:

    Gunner8, You don’t hear anything about afobe leaving. I think he will stay. You??

  494. ManGoonian says:

    Dont go on gunnerblog Pedro.
    Used to about 4 years ago though, had a few mates on there. I think G8 did too…

  495. Pedro says:

    ManG, I have a spare for the Chav’s… there’s still time…

  496. ManGoonian says:

    Haha! Have Hull equalised??? Hahaha!

  497. Pedro says:

    GM, we’d have to buy Torres and keep RvP… they could do half a season each.

  498. Gunner8 says:

    the truth is it’s the net so anyon can say they go and there is little one can really say but “I go more than you!” nah nah nah, nah nah nah!

    I sit in block 50, row 7, Seat 189… …even I have missed two homers this season.

    I have been to Alkamaar and am off to Citeh on Wednesday!

    Would go to more but I work in retail so it’s kind off tough (and have a little ‘un at home). My dream is to do the away scheme one year!

  499. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    The one for a ton?

  500. Pedro says:

    Seriously thought, I wouldn’t take Torres… he is far too injury prone and he’ll always be that way.

    We’d need a player with the fitness of Adebayor, or Thierry in his prime.

  501. goonermichael says:

    But you know they’d both do the same half Pedro lol

  502. Pedro says:

    Yeah, it’s club level and it’s late… I’m sure he’d go lower.

  503. Pedro says:

    That’s true.

    He’ll be sold for £60mill… fuck paying that for a crock.

    At least with Ronaldo you know you’re more than likely going to get 30 goals, 10 assists and 50 plus games.

  504. goonermichael says:

    the Hull goal celebration sounds really funny

  505. MARK GOONER says:

    mang
    ok this started cause u called me a twat, lets leave it at that
    i think we as a club have been very loyal to robin and i would love him to play week in week out, but judging the last 6 years, its fair to say he has a problem, whether genetic or his playing style, a club like ours with limited funds and severe lack of strikers (in that mould) cannot sit by and let it carry on, bring in a striker in jan and someone whos previous record reads better then robins
    im not a rvp hater, i think when on the pitch he’s class, if you kept on rining up sick at work (no matter how good you are at your job) would your boss tolerate it

  506. Pedro says:

    Haha, someone called Geoff a pussyface in the spam section.

  507. Gunner8 says:

    ManGoon yeah used to love that blog but then it went all mental on there I blame that guy TopCat personally, he was on there 24/7/365 never went to games and hardly talked footie! Respects Highbury was great for a laugh, is a bit like Geoff with his rhetoric and humor and Glenn Helder was alright but there were a lot of nutters… …I also think A used to post there as Steve, but hey!

  508. ManGoonian says:

    Torres is a crock, if RvP is, thats for sure… And £60m??? No way!

  509. Pedro says:

    My football manager text me this morning and said,

    ‘Anyone who doesn’t turn up tomorrow will forever hold my piece’

    I don’t think he realised his error…

    That or he’s an abuser of sorts..

  510. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    Haha! Yeah respects, and there was an irish fella called ron, who i thought was Stu on here! Had a laugh with a few, but there were some right doomers on there too!

  511. Pedro says:

    G8, you found ‘Arsenal Nirvana’, to quote Tomstoned.

    By the way, did you sell your Liverpool ticket to our Aussie blogger?

  512. Gunner8 says:

    Dutchman, he could be great or he could be another Lupoli! it amazed me that Bendtner is turning out a better player!

  513. Pedro says:

    Gunner8, I think Lupoli had aids… he looked far too ill to be a professional athlete.

  514. goonermichael says:

    Don’t think I’ll bother with motd tonight

  515. ManGoonian says:

    Mark;

    Look, the twat thing is just a term of endearment up here! I already said I didnt wanna argue, but I saw the post about me not goin to games! Lets squash this thang Yo!

  516. ManGoonian says:

    Typical effin Sunderland, great against the big boys, then shite the next week…

  517. Gunner8 says:

    The league is mental, we thrashed Wigan, got beat by Sunderland, then they loose to Wigan… …hell anything can happen in the PL tm

  518. Gunnersmith says:

    Lol Pedro

    would’nt wanna hold his piece forever would ya Pedro

  519. Pedro says:

    I think we’ll beat the Chav’s… it’s about time we started producing against them. Having Tommy V in there fills me with a lot more confidecne and I’m looking forward to seeing what Song can do for us in the middle.

    Not sure who he’s going for up front… but I’d be tempted with Arshavin in the middle.

  520. MARK GOONER says:

    mang
    deal mate, we all want the same thing, thats arsenal winning

  521. ManGoonian says:

    Mark;

    I just think that, reading RvP’s comments and his performances, he has been fitter and stronger… if he kept getting the same injury, then I might agree about it being best to move him on. But that isnt the case. I really thinkm he has been very very unlucky and the amount of x rays, MRIs, etc that players have these days, they would know if he had something wrong with him. That obviously is not the case and it would not surprise me if he comes back and never has a major injury again…

    Oh and he has just singed a new deal, so I think he will be around for a while yet!

  522. Gunner8 says:

    Arsenal Nirvana?

    I did sell to Aussie Blogger, guy is flying here travelling up to ‘pool for the match and then off to Edinborough… ..that is a wicked trip

  523. ManGoonian says:

    goonermichael;

    Well, Im gonna watch MotD, just for the West ham game!

  524. Pedro says:

    Ahhh, Mark and Mang, blog hugging it out before our eyes.

    It’s a beautiful thing…

    Gunnersmith, certainly not…!

  525. Geoff says:

    Pedro, I love him to say it to my face!

    Manc, you aren’t telling fibs are you, I asked you to meet me at the first 3 home games for a beer, I’m sure you said you wouldn’t be going!

    If you do go to every game we could meet up, we often meet gunner8.

  526. Pedro says:

    ManG, that’s right…this injury was an impact injury, rather than a bad genes.

    I do still think we need to assess some positions and put proper back up in place.

    JD is never going to be fit… and Senderos and Silvestre aren’t suitable cover in my eyes.

  527. goonermichael says:

    burnley have scored 3 now

  528. David says:

    Mike Dean is a disgrace to football.

  529. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    I am looking forward to seeing Vermilli smash Drogba all over the place…

  530. Pedro says:

    Geoff, I was wondering if he’d walked past your window and seen Theo sitting on your shoulder.

    Maybe it wasn’t an insult…?

    ManG, you should come and meet us… Gunner8 is such a racist in real life…

  531. Gunner8 says:

    ManGoonian it was a great blog too, but Gilberto Silver could never be arsed to update it, when he does he is one of the best writers around!

  532. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    Think about it… I just havent wantewd to meet you! :D

  533. goonermichael says:

    Pedro
    Sylvetre’s contract is up soon isn’t it?

  534. freduardo says:

    just got the news re RVP and am absolutely gutted. every fucking year.

  535. Pedro says:

    GM, I seriously think he is just there as an experienced head… not as a player really…

    He is super intelligent according to Song.

  536. Gunner8 says:

    Geof and Pedders where are you all drinking now?

    switched to Che Guevarra I expect!

    I am going for a fat, juicy Argie steak b4 kickoff at Garufa… …it really is a cracking little restaurant on Blackstock Road.

  537. ManGoonian says:

    We will definitely need to look at the CB positions in the summer, if not in january… Senderos, Silvestre and |gallas are all up in June…

  538. Geoff says:

    Whew Manc, you had me worried for a minute, that’s a good enough reason!

  539. goonermichael says:

    He fucking should be. have you seen the size of his head? it’s got a football in it. that’s what they mean by a footballing brain

  540. choy says:

    I thought silvest was here for life!

  541. Gunner8 says:

    you forget I am also the worlds most anti-semetic half jew half catholic

  542. Pedro says:

    Gunner8, since I saw the birds in there… it’s all about the Che.

    I went to a city bar called Barrow and Corney… the birds were literally out of this world… unbelievable!

    It’s next door to the stock exchange, so plenty of twats inside… but worth it for the ladies.

  543. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    I am sure G8 is a right old racist in the flesh, Franchy too I hear…

  544. Geoff says:

    Pedro, there are quite a few of them, there’s one near Aldgate too.

  545. ManGoonian says:

    So, did the West ham vs Burnley game end 5-5 then?

  546. Gunner8 says:

    Pedro, the talent is sick… …was in there until close on Tuesday night, downing the rum.

    Wednesday at work was one of the worst days of my life!

    It is a great spot

  547. Gunner8 says:

    no 5-3

  548. Gunner8 says:

    Ar-Sh-Av-In

  549. ManGoonian says:

    How many penalities were there today??? Loads, which makes all the ones we have had turned down even more hard to take…

  550. ManGoonian says:

    Come on Villa! Lets have it…

  551. Stu says:

    What were todays scores?

  552. Geoff says:

    Manc it got caught in moderation because it had the word racist in it! It’s out now.

  553. Stu says:

    Giggs is only 35 and the sky panel are going on about him as if he was 40.

  554. Gunner8 says:

    it all depends on the ref and we always seem to get the same twunts!

  555. Stu says:

    We always get the “best” refs for our big matches.

  556. ManGoonian says:

    Geoff;

    Haha! Yeah, forgot that word is a wrongun…

    Stu;

    I know fella.

    Pompey 1 Manu 4
    Blackburn 0-0 Stoke
    WHam 5-3 Burnley
    Wigan 1-0 Sunderland
    Fulham 1-1 Bolton
    Man City 1-1 Hull

  557. Mayank says:

    Why don’t they just put Rooney’s face on the PL trophy FFS? Maybe ’cause then no-one will kiss it…

  558. Gunner8 says:

    rascist*

  559. ManGoonian says:

    If we get another cast iron pen, turned down, then that is it… I tell theee…

  560. Gunner8 says:

    hehehe got it on though!

    right fellas I am off…

  561. ManGoonian says:

    I swear this season is gonna be the twistiest, turniest muth fecka ever…

  562. Gunner8 says:

    ohh b4 I go Gazzap was another one that I swear used to be on gunnerblog… …night night and play nice

  563. ManGoonian says:

    G8;

    Yeah, I think you are tight fella… Laters and have a cool night…

    I am gonna spend the whole effin day in the poub tomorrow, starting with the Wolves, Brum game and finishing with el gran classicooooo!!!

    Pissed much??? Hmmmm…

  564. ManGoonian says:

    erm, thats sposed to be right, not tight, which I am sure you are anyways…! :D

  565. 9jagunner says:

    Nice Post.

    I am beginning to feel like a broken record when I remind you guys that in the last Cup of African Nations, Alex Song was voted the best DM in Africa. This was a competition that had Essien, Yaya and Mikel. That was 2 years ago when he was playing crap for Arsenal. Now he has stepped up to the plate and I expect him to dominate tomorrow. i just wish he was a nigerian like me.

  566. Geoff says:

    9jagunner, everyone knows that!!! So you do sound like a broken record son!

  567. ManGoonian says:

    Hahaha! spuds losing

  568. ManGoonian says:

    I am gonna say we should sign Ruud van Nistlerooy in january… And I havent started drinkin yet…

  569. ManGoonian says:

    Dutchman;

    What do you think? Could RvN do a job for Arsenal?

  570. Mayank says:

    Mang i said that in the summer and got abused for it… People think we have one ex-manc too many…
    I think RvN could also bring a little cuntiness to the front-line…

  571. ManGoonian says:

    Mayank;

    I think I either agreed with you back then, or said it myself!

    He is a big lump (so beloved of Suga3!), a great target man, can hold the ball up well, aint too shabby at finishing either and as you say, is a sly fecker too!

    I think he would be the ideal acquisition, as he would get games, we could sign him on a short term deal, he would play out of his skin coz of the world cup too…

  572. ManGoonian says:

    Fuck me! How did that stay out??? Hahaha!

  573. Dutchman says:

    MG, he is also hit by injurys this year. I think that bendtner and vela better can play in that position.

  574. Mayank says:

    Also i think he has a knack of scoring even when out of form… We could do with that
    All depends on whether he has the lags for it…
    After the fallout with SAF he might not be too averse to the idea of playing against him…

  575. Mayank says:

    *legs
    I’m feeling a bit slow today…

  576. ManGoonian says:

    Dutchman;

    I dont see him as a long term solution fella. Just for this season…

    Mayank;

    I am sure he would love to pop up with the winner vs the mancs next year!

  577. Stu says:

    RVN was injured for the start of this season. Came back, scored a goal and got injured scoring. Do we really need someone that is that fragile.

  578. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Look fella, we are pushing the envelope here… Blue sky thinking, if you can run ideas like these up the flag pole to see if anyone salutes, then climb aboard…

  579. ManGoonian says:

    Obviously there would be some sort of medical involved!

    The ESPN commentator is such a spud…

  580. goonermichael says:

    Lets sign RVP then we’ll have the cunt who got Paddy sent off and the cunt who nutted freddie. That steven taylor from brum is a hard fucker too.

  581. goonermichael says:

    I’d rather have hot needles stuck in my eyes than see that horseface cunt wearing an Arsenal shirt

  582. ManGoonian says:

    goonermichael;

    You’re not pushing that envelope dude!

  583. Mayank says:

    Anyone for Henry?
    Could happen… Esp if Barca get Robinho…

  584. Stu says:

    Flag pole ideas huh…. Lets get a CB on loan in january…or an ageing defensive midfielder to cover for Song?

  585. Stu says:

    oh how i miss ESPN…. :sign:

  586. ManGoonian says:

    Seriously, for what we need, ie a short term replacement who is a proven scorer of goals in this league, a winner and who would fit into our system, i think he ticks a lot of boxes, plus its a world cup year, where he aint getting game time in madrid and would work his snide, cunty nuts off…

    I hate him, but if he scores the goals that win us the league, then so be it… I can think of bigger cunts than him anyways…

  587. ManGoonian says:

    Goonermichael and Stu;

    Just look at brother Mayank for inspiration! The fella is on fire!

    Henry??? Brilliant idea!

  588. Stu says:

    Nah…..Henry is off to the MLS to retire.

  589. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Agreed on bot those, names???

  590. reggie57 says:

    Name me a bigga cunt than that Shergar lookalike then?

  591. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Vieira then?

  592. Geoff says:

    Well unless we get a striker in that will eventually replace one of our existing ones, I think Henry would be perfect, but I’d take horse face as well.

    Either way if we don’t, this season will end in tears…again.

  593. goonermichael says:

    Kenwynne jones is probably a better bet. I disagreed strongly with Franchise about Forlan but I’d prefer him and he’s a manc too.

  594. Stu says:

    Well MG..for defender i would have suggested someone like Hyypia when he was at livershit but he is probably too old now. Also Tymoschuk would have been good before he joined Bayern on a free.

    My football knowledge is weakening this season because i cant watch much football…

  595. ManGoonian says:

    reggie;

    Half the chav team, Gary Neville, Rooney, Fletcher, Evra, Bentley, Dioff, Robbie Keane…

  596. ManGoonian says:

    Henry and RvN are decent shouts for me…

    Lets sign Vieira too! That would make for interesting viewing!

  597. reggie57 says:

    You missed out Barble/Babble Mangoon!!

  598. Stu says:

    Forlan doesnt really count as a manc…simply because he was sshit for them. Had he won them trophies and such then he would certainly be classed as a cunting ex-manc.

  599. Mayank says:

    Geoff I’d like us to get a striker too but i don’t think our season is going to be decided by our attacking prowess… If our defence holds we still have enough players that can score goals…

    I remember RvN was on fire when Man U had their you score 3 we score 4 phase…

  600. ManGoonian says:

    goonermichael;

    The only thing about Kenwynne is, is he is not as good as Ade and would cost about £15m+!

  601. Mayank says:

    And CR9 too Reg…

  602. ManGoonian says:

    reggie; Oh yeah! And Mascherano, Adebayor, Bellamy, Phil Neville…

  603. Stu says:

    Seeing as its the close season there now i think shopping in the Russian League would be a smart choice. They play decent football over there and would be used to the bad weather. Zhirianov, Anyukov, Denisov and ov’s we can get hold of really.

  604. goonermichael says:

    Fair enough mang but I think he’s more likely to be fit than Shergar

  605. Mayank says:

    Didn’t he take 82 games to score for them?
    I remember he missed one from a yard out…

  606. goonermichael says:

    He was total shit for the mancs.

  607. goonermichael says:

    I’d rather have simpson back

  608. ManGoonian says:

    I think RvN would be a good shout as he is surplus to requirements at Real, he needs to play for his wolrd cup place, he would be free, or very cheap, he has bags of experience of the Prem and can score lots and lots of goals…

  609. Mayank says:

    type 14 into google and see the suggestions…
    There are too many paedophiles in this world… Or they might be 14 yo boys…

  610. goonermichael says:

    He’s good at cheating too.

  611. reggie57 says:

    Il agree with GM signing Horseface is like treason if you ask me!!

  612. ManGoonian says:

    Reggie;

    Its funny, I felt like that when we signed Silvestre, but mainly coz I thought he was shite!

  613. zorr0 says:

    Evening!

    ReggieReg, GM, mangoo, how’s it hanging?

  614. Stu says:

    Mayank, out of curiosity what were you looking for that you found this out?

  615. ManGoonian says:

    As a player for the mancs, I effin hated him, that game where he punched Freddie in the stomach and raked his studs down Cashley’s ankles summed his cunting cuntiness up for me…

    BUT, lookin at the bigger picture, ie, our hopes of winning matches and therefore trophies, he COULD be a good option… Although, its just an opinion and he may well be too much of a crock to be relied on…

  616. ManGoonian says:

    Yo yo Zorr0! easy there fella, all good!

    I am finally over my lurgy, so work on Monday for me! Hooray! And I mean that! You should see the foxy babes who work at my place! And its xmas party time!!

  617. Mayank says:

    C-14 dating.
    There’s always one isn’t there?

  618. reggie57 says:

    Hes a fuckin cheating manc cunt! hill-wood said “we dont want his sort around here” and il agree with the fat etononion bastard ha-rah!!

  619. Stu says:

    Im sure there is someone out there that is a real poacher and hasnt played for the mancs that would be available cheaply. If Fulham were able to get Montella a few years ago when they were a relegation team then im sure our vast scouting network knows of someone.

  620. reggie57 says:

    Yeah all good Zorr0 what about you mate?

  621. ManGoonian says:

    Reggie reg;

    Fair do’s fella… Lets forget the long faced, diving, sly, snide, slippery as a barrel of eels cunt then…

  622. reggie57 says:

    Ha rah then Mangoon!!

  623. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    But a player who is proven over here, can score goals on a regular basis, and idealy, aint cup tied..

  624. Mayank says:

    That won’t work Stu,
    We have that in Eddy, I think we need a winner who been there done that… Also we need someone who’s on his way out…

  625. gunnergetyou says:

    no chance of us signing cuntface, too much bad blood between him and wenger. wenger even called him a cheat in a post match interview.

  626. reggie57 says:

    Right must dash going to the theatre (fairfields hall croydon) my niece is in a show there! laters everyone!!

  627. Stu says:

    Well if we already have that in Eduardo then whats the point of getting RVN?

    I dont have RVN because the majority of his cuntingness was before i was really a football fan and i was a fan of his when he actually played for Madrid but i just dont think its a good idea to get him in. Especially with his injury record over the last few years.

  628. ManGoonian says:

    If Wenger has a player that he likes, that he sees as a long term player for us, who he was gonna go for in the summer who would cost a fair few quid, then he oughtta sign him in January…

    If he doesnt have a player in mind for long term, then we need a short term stop gap signing…

    Henry and RvN are the 2 bestest ideas I have seen…

  629. zorr0 says:

    All good lads. Nice 3-1 win today against a fairly solid team. Keeps us top!

    So we talking about rvn coming as cover in Jan? Can’t see it, rather get numbnuts or spend a decent amount on a top quality striker. Unless Nik comes back soon as I would like to see him get the job in the middle.

  630. ManGoonian says:

    Break a leg Reggie reg!!!

  631. Mayank says:

    Because of his experience and our lack of CFs…
    Don’t make me big him up too much…

  632. goonermichael says:

    I’m off home catch you all later

  633. zorr0 says:

    Enjoy Reg.

    What wqas the scores today then?

  634. ManGoonian says:

    Well, hopefully Bendy will be back in a week or 2, that will give him a good few games up top and if he does well, the nI am sure, the job will be his…

    goonermichael;

    I’d love Simpson to come back and do a job for us too…

  635. Hig says:

    What about signing makelele til the end of the season, to cover when song goes to the african cup of nations and as backup for the rest of the season. i know he’s old but he would do the job

  636. Stu says:

    Bendtner is gonna come back, be fucking brilliant in the CF role with goals and even more assists and VP wont be able to get back into the team. Then we will sell him to Madrid in the summer for 50m. I have inside info on this.

  637. ManGoonian says:

    Aston Villa 1-0 Tottenham HT
    Blackburn 0-0 Stoke R
    Fulham 1-1 Bolton R
    Man City 1-1 Hull R
    Portsmouth 1-4 Man Utd R
    West Ham 5-3 Burnley R
    Wigan 1-0 Sunderland

  638. Stu says:

    Van Nistelrooy? Makelele? I know they were brilliant once but surely there are more players out there than old rivals! How about we go for Dietmar Hamann next.

  639. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Yep, that is definitely whats gonna happen man…

    Hig;

    I was thinking of Makelelelelelelelele, not sure how he’s doin in France though…

    At this rate, we will have a team full of cunts from our rivals!!!

    Spuds thrash Wigan 9-1
    Sunderland beat us 1-0
    Wigan beat Sunderland 1-0

    Something is not right.

  641. David says:

    Thank God. A New CF is coming in January now. Surely.

  642. ManGoonian says:

    gooner786;

    Its simple, this season is unpredictable as fuck mate!

  643. Samir says:

    Nistelrooy is 33.
    Could last a season or 2.
    If we are going to buy that bugger then I would want M.Diarra aswell.
    5M for the both of them please?
    Them two along with one of Richards,Sakho,Subotic or an another Vermy type would be quite nice.

  644. David says:

    Wigan beat chelsea 3-1.

    Which is why Tomorrow would be very interesting.

  645. ManGoonian says:

    Joe Royle is a clueless dinosaur and Jogn Champion is such a biased spud supportin twat…

  646. Mayank says:

    “Thank God. A New CF is coming in January now. Surely.”
    DOn’t want to dig you out but was the message to god because of RvP’s injury?

  647. Samir says:

    Or Viera,Chamakh and a unknown CB.

  648. ManGoonian says:

    I really rate that Mamadou Diarra, but every time it seems he is out the door, his agent, or the president say he is goin nowhere…

  649. Stu says:

    Vieira, chamakh and Juhasz. 3 cheap as chips purchaces.

  650. David says:

    Yes Mayank. Y?

  651. Stu says:

    David, are you happy VP is injured?

  652. Samir says:

    Wenger needs to get to work A.S.A.P. and find the right player’s.
    I have a feeling he will surprise us all!!!!

    February interview with Wenger.
    “I believe we have enough quality in this squad, that is why I did not buy. Yes we had money available but we have youngsters coming through. Buying players would just kill them” BLA BLA BLA….
    You get my drift?

  653. Mayank says:

    Nevermind…

  654. ManGoonian says:

    Larsson did a job for barca at 35 or something, RvN could do a similar job for us for 5 months… Don’t get me wrong, I would really love a different player to come in instead, but I can’t think of anyone else?

    Fucking hell! Lennon dives, gets the free kick and he was “fortunate” to get the decision, while the spud commentator doesnt even mention it… Wankers.

  655. Gunnersmith says:

    gooner786 its as ManG said the season is very unpredictable

    And add this to that

    Spurs stuffed Wigan 9-1
    Wigan beat Chelsea 3-1

    :-)

  656. Pedro says:

    I reckon Eduardo or Vela could do a job.

    We can’t all moan they never get played… see them in a couple of games and decide they’re shite.

    RVN would work because he knows the Prem… but Chamakh… well, he’s not prolific anyway and he’d have to bed in…

  657. David says:

    Alou Diarra, Gignac and Hugo Lloris

  658. ManGoonian says:

    Samir;

    Now now dude! Lets not get my nan’s tea leaves out tio see into the future now!

  659. zorr0 says:

    Cheers MG, sounds a good game at Upton Park! Citeh draw at home to Hull; nice!

  660. David says:

    How the fuck does that Translate that Im happy RVP is injured?

    How are you lot so sensitive on this blog?

  661. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro; Bendy, Vela and Eduardo could all work, but they all can be played in different front 3 positions too, so a short term signing could work. I’d be against signing CVhamakh in jan, I’d rather we waited till the summer for him… If at all.

  662. Samir says:

    MG;
    Lol. I’m just trying to jinx it.
    Let’s hope Wenger does “kill” some of the youngsters!

  663. Pedro says:

    You’ve spent most of the season telling us how RVP isn’t good enough David… and I’m pretty sure you threw a street party when Nik picked up an injury.

  664. Stu says:

    Clearly i just asked the question. I never said you were happy with it. But saying thank god because now we will but a CF doesnt exactly make you sound upset about it.

  665. ManGoonian says:

    Zorr0;

    Yeah, City drew their SEVENTH consecutive game mate! Ade apparantly stamped on a Hull ;player before he was subbed early doors…

  666. Pedro says:

    Lets get Benzema in on loan…

    I’d have Thierry back… wouldn’t that be great?

  667. Stu says:

    David, those 3 players would cost us at least 40m.

  668. Pedro says:

    What have Rolf Harris and Man City got in common?

    They both like drawing.

    I’ll get me coat…

  669. David says:

    I have always re-iterated we needed a striker RVP Injury or NO RVP injury.

    Whether RVP is good enough to win us tittles is yet to be seen.

  670. Pedro says:

    Not to mention we’d be signing Gignac on the basis of one good season.

  671. ManGoonian says:

    Fuck me! The ref gives the spuds every effin decision!

  672. Stu says:

    Well if thats the case when why not just sell all of our players because none of them have won us anything either.

  673. David says:

    RVP is great if we’re playing Pompey or Wigan.

    But we have failed in just about every “big” test we’ve had this season.

    So it neither proves he’s good enough or not.

  674. Pedro says:

    14 games, 8 goals, 8 assists.

    That’s pretty good going and I’m sure most teams in Europe would have him.

  675. ManGoonian says:

    Henry back would be amazing Pedro, but that doesnt get away from the fact that joke was sooooo bad!

  676. Pedro says:

    Old Luke seems pretty upset about finding out who his real dad is… poor old Darth…

  677. David says:

    Well Stu

    Tell us about how We’ve tried to Sign Gignac in the past but Wenger reckoned he didnt have the extra 50p to make the deal go through.

  678. Samir says:

    I agree Chamakh would deffo take a while to bed in. He could be amazing for us but we don’t have the time……

    Out of our next 7 EPL games (Until January) 4 are at home.
    We have Liverpool,Burnley and Portsmouth AWAY.

    We should be able to keep up until January at least!

  679. Stu says:

    Not to mention we have a record number of goals this season with VP playing and his first game out we fail to score. If that doesnt show how important he is for us then nothing does. It may be just 1 game but it was against a shit team and we created next to nothing.

  680. ManGoonian says:

    RvP won us the game vs the chavs last season and he was great vs the mancs… he is top top class. There is NO debating that…

  681. Stu says:

    Well David, i wouldnt know anything about that. And anyway it seems that you just told the whole story. Even if i knew what you were talking about i wouldnt be able to expand on it.

  682. David says:

    Denilson has unbelievable stats as well.

    5 games 2 goals 1 Assist.

  683. zorr0 says:

    Gignac! Every time I see him he is shite!

  684. ManGoonian says:

    Agbonlahor is pretty dam shite… No way we are in for him…

  685. David says:

    Fuck sake Stu

    I can look up a post you’ve talked about that before…Christ…do you have to be like that?

    Woteva.

  686. Stu says:

    And both were crackers aswell but he isnt jusged on attacking stats (or shouldnt be).

  687. ManGoonian says:

    Gignac looks like this seasons Gomis…

  688. Stu says:

    Talked about us missing out on Gignac for 50p? I dont remember that. Go looking if you like…

  689. zorr0 says:

    Darth Vader knew what Luke got him for Christmas!

  690. zorr0 says:

    He felt his presence! lol

  691. David says:

    Yes He won us the Game ManG

    But a Big striker was there feeding him the ball.

    A big Striker. Arsenal do not have.

  692. David says:

    Obviously 50p is a slight exaggeration.

    As i said. Woteva.

  693. zorr0 says:

    These are not the centre forwards you are looking for!

  694. David says:

    How long did it take Arshavin to “bed in”…or Varmelean?

  695. David says:

    ManG :lol:

    You Clown

  696. Samir says:

    David;
    Bendy was a Big guy last time I saw him?

  697. BayGooner says:

    The only reason not to play Denilson is if he is unfit to play twice in a week yet. Otherwise, he will provide additional steel for a midfield that will have to work extra hard for the adjusted back four.

  698. ManGoonian says:

    David;

    We are playing a different syatem this season, RvP is THAT striker, he has been involved in almost every goal, and was just getting to grips with a brand new position. Not every player could do that, they wouldnt have the skill, talent, intelligence to do it, but RvP did and quite effin brilliantly, if you ask me…

    Sheeesh man, your hatred of bendy is fair enough as it seems most Gooners need a scape goat or a pet player to hate, but your views on RvP are quite bizarre, if you ask me…

    I really do not know what you see, or what you want… Something that doesnt exist, probably…

  699. zorr0 says:

    Back in a while, let me know how the David and Stu slugfest goes!

  700. ManGoonian says:

    David;

    I love that tune!

  701. ManGoonian says:

    Baygooner;

    I would play Denilson, if fit. Depends though, he looked pretty jaded by the end of the game vs Liege… If not him, then I imagine Nasri, or Ramsey even…?

  702. David says:

    What are you people on about?

    I love RVP.

    Is he good enough to win us a tittle? Or a trophy?

    If we play Chelsea in a cup semi final. Or the Mancs in a final?

    Did you not see how Mancity kept him quiet till Button head mistimed a tackle.

    Hatred? Really?

  703. David says:

    Bendy doesnt come into the conversation when we’re talking bout strikers.

    The fuck we going to place our tittle hopes on a consistent fuck up.

    Seriously?

  704. Samir says:

    Denilson is an important player. Against Liege he played behind Song allowing him to push up and dominate the midfield higher up.
    Denilson used his intelligence to intercept balls etc.

    I hope we make the same sort of start we had against Liege.
    Loads of pressure in their half.
    Get an early goal.

  705. ManGoonian says:

    h this commentator is a fuckin spud loving cunt alright!

  706. ManGoonian says:

    Thats it David, you stick to the Bendy hatred, we are all used to that now! :wink:

  707. Pedro says:

    David, of course Robin can score those goals.

    You can’t ask whether he can do it in big games, then told he has done it in big games, make a crap excuse as to why it doesn’t count.

    He’s always going to be quieter against better teams… because better teams have better defenders!

  708. Samir says:

    Bendy will prove you wrong one day David…. :)

  709. Samir says:

    Spurs 1-1

  710. ManGoonian says:

    I know I am goin on about this John Champion commentator dude, but I remeber watching an Arsenal game last season…. Him and that scot cunt Burley were slating us, relentlessly, EVEN David wouldve had a problem with the abuse we were getting… I expected it of the Burley twat, but couldnt work out what this twat Champion’s problem was… Untill recently,when he was outed as a spud…

  711. David says:

    Pedro Says:
    November 28, 2009 at 19:09

    You can’t ask whether he can do it in big games, then told he has done it in big games, make a crap excuse as to why it doesn’t count.

    ========================

    RVP + Big Man = Score Goals

    RVP – Big Man = Ineffective.

    Thats the gist of the Argument.

    Crappy excuse? I think the prob is that most gooners are not being honest enough with themselves.

    It why Wenger has the most Secure Job in football even if we dont win skint next 5 years. Its why Arshavin is a breath of fresh air.

    We got smashed by the same CHav team 4-1 at home that Featured RVP and Bendtner.

    And by all accounts Tomorrow is a must win.

    So crappy excuse or delusional. I think the latter is a fair assessment.

  712. ManGoonian says:

    Samir;

    I think bendy has proved his worth to the team already… And he will only get better, IMO…

  713. Pedro says:

    He’s scored against Fulham, 3rd best defense last year. Man City, Spurs.

    Last year he scored against ManU in the champs league semi, quarters against Villareal, Roma in the last 16, Liverpool, Chelsea… what more do you want!

  714. Pedro says:

    David, RVP – Big man = 8 goals, 8 assists and the most team goals ever at the start of a campaign.

    I think your problem is you’re always looking for problems.

  715. ManGoonian says:

    Erm, I think Robin has done quite well in goals and assists this season. Even though he had a fairly slow start where a few were saying he was wasted up front (cough, David, cough!)

    And when I say wasted, i dont mean he was off his nut, either…

  716. Stu says:

    This season is proof that you are wrong. VP minus a big man this season has had a direct influence on 16 goals.
    And all those without a big man up top.

    Also when we lost to the chavs last season Bendtner didnt come on until we were 3-0 down so i dont see how you can blame him for the score…but you wouldnt be David if you didnt.

  717. David says:

    Give me RVP stats. I’ll give you Denilson Stats.

    Who makes the difference when it matters?

    And by when it matters i mean when we play the big teams and Silverware is on the line.

    I think its hilarious we’re having this discussion and RVP cant even seem to stay fit long enough to win an argument.

  718. ManGoonian says:

    David;

    You keep coming up with ridiculous arguments to priove your increasingly bizarre arguements mate…

    We lost 4-1 to the chavs at home and we beat em away. You cannot take games in isolation… I would even suggest that 4-1 loss was a bizarre old game anyways…. We were all over the,m shouldve been 3-0 up at half tim e but were 2-0 down! Plus it was right after the CL semi 2nd leg, when our season was basically kaput!

    As Pedro says, I think you are looking for issues and problems way too much…

  719. Pedro says:

    David… what sort of a dumb statement is that?

    Goals and assists are tangible stats… that’s what you judge attacking players on because you can’t really argue with them.

    We’re not talking about completed passes or shots on goals here.

  720. David says:

    Only thing Im blaming Bendtner for is being shite.

    That is settled imo.

    As far as i know this discussion is about RVP.

  721. ManGoonian says:

    RvP is a forward, his assist and scoring stats are kinda improtant… Denilson’s attacking stats are more a bonus as he has other jobs to do, you know…? make the tea, fold the shirts and iron the socks…

  722. David says:

    What sort of Dumb statement is what?

    What do stats mean when we play to win Silverware or to beat the top teams?

    Seriously. Read. Then Understand. Then Post.

  723. Stu says:

    Oh so all that counts is trophies and not a players stats. In that case Djimi Traore is better than all of our players because he has won the CL. Lets get him on board.

  724. ManGoonian says:

    Again David, you are moving the goal posts to suit your argument, IMO… You say RvP is shite without a big man, that has been disporved, so you change the criteria of your argument…

    Lets just leave it, I reckon its for the best! :D

  725. Pedro says:

    haha!

    Read: David says goals and assists aren’t important

    Understand: I can’t, it’s a stupid statement

    Post:

    David, dumb post. What are you talking about?

  726. ManGoonian says:

    Nice a 1-1 draw suits us…

    That really was a low quality game, fuck em and their top 4 pretensions…

    Here’s my top4;

    1. Arsenal
    2. chavs
    3. Mancs
    4. Liverpool

  727. Confidentgoner says:

    For Chelsea

    ==========Alumina============

    =====Gallas=========TV======

    Sagna =====================Sylveste
    ==============Song========

    ====Rosicky=========Dennilson
    =============Cesc============

    =======Arshravin=============

    =================Vela========

    ————————————————-

    =============Drogba=======================
    ===================Anelka================

    ==Malouda=======Lampard===============J.Cole

    =============== Essien==================

    Cole======Terry=======Calvarlo(Alex)====Ivanovic

    ===============Cech==========================

    Notes:

    Chelsea attack will come mainly from the left, via Malouda with rebound shooting opportnities for Lampard and Essien.

    If Anelka is allowed to roam, he could end up with some shooting opportunities, especially if Gallas is still injured.

    Chelsea may prefer Alex for spot kicks and heading opportunities and for pace against fast paced Arsenal attackers. My personal opinion is that they are better pairing the two rather than the distraction of John Terry, who will be the weak link.

    For Arsenal Midfield and defensive strenght ARE importantg for this game, with the ability to shoot from distance as the Chelsea defense will be tight. This would have been RVP and Bendts game.

    Would not recommend too much overlap for the full backs as Chelsea are good at exploiting this once we loose possession upfront or in the midfield. I would prefer Sylvestre to Eboue who is far more attack minded as Left back.

  728. David says:

    ManG games in Isolation?

    Did Ade not play when we won at Stamford Shite?

    Did he play when we lost at home?

    RVP works well with a big man…Bendy is too shite.

    Ahem…Your Witness.

  729. Stu says:

    Whats the score in the spud match?

  730. David says:

    Pedro Says:
    November 28, 2009 at 19:23

    haha!

    Read: David says goals and assists aren’t important

    ===========================

    Toushe. Never said that. One dumb post deserves another.

  731. David says:

    ManGoonian Says:
    November 28, 2009 at 19:23

    Again David, you are moving the goal posts to suit your argument, IMO… You say RvP is shite without a big man, that has been disporved, so you change the criteria of your argument

    ==================

    See post at 19:24 :cool:

  732. ManGoonian says:

    confident;

    Yeah, Sagna should curb any desire to over lap on the right, although I think Traore should be able to get forward OK, as he has pace to burn and a good engine and the chavs dont really offer much on their right as Bosingwa is out…

    A very nervy 2-0 to the Gooners!

  733. Pedro says:

    ‘Give me RVP stats. I’ll give you Denilson Stats. ‘

    What does that mean then David?

    Or were you literally going to give me Denilson stats?

  734. Stu says:

    Us play a diamond too Confident?

    And we shouldnt have to worry about verlapping fullbacks is Silvestre is playing. He can hardly run as it is.

  735. ManGoonian says:

    David;

    My witness is this season… Where have you been? What team have you been watching? RvP as the main man has been a revelation!

    Please, desist! Leave it, its way too weird for me!

  736. ManGoonian says:

    confident;

    I think Traore will start fella.

    Something like;

    Almunia
    Sagna – Gallas – Vermilli – Traore
    Cesc – Song – Denilson/Nasri
    Rosicky – Eduardo – Arshy

  737. David says:

    Also Eduardo and Vela are both left footed attackers that are similar imo.

    If one plays as a winger like what Vela was doing against Standard…

    Where does this leave Arshavin?

    Hmm.

    Big CF needed. ASAP.

  738. ManGoonian says:

    Anyhoo, time for beer…

    Thanks for the banter fellas!

  739. Geoff says:

    Toushe, surely you mean touché, your witness.

  740. ManGoonian says:

    I think the 4-3-3 means we dont really require a big lump of a forward, instad the fliudity of the play and interchanging of positions allows for lots of attacking threrats from all over, we can basically have a front 5 at times…

  741. David says:

    It means Stats flatter to deceive when it matters.

    ManG

    I hear you fella. But to bang on about goals scored against poor especially lower half and then before we get a chance to blink he gets injured is stretching the truth abit about this season.

    Come now fella. Surely you understand what im trying to say.

  742. ManGoonian says:

    Case closed, bag shut…

  743. Stu says:

    Can Arshavin not just play on the other wing.

    Vela – Eduardo – Arshavin.

  744. David says:

    Indeed! Touche! ;)

  745. ManGoonian says:

    stats are what a striker is rated on though innit?

    And considering we didnt beat these so called lesser teams last season b ut did well vs the big 4, i can see a lot of reasons to want to stuff those lesser teams!

    That for me is where the title is won…

  746. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Yes he could…

  747. David says:

    We only managed to win 2 games vs the top 4 last season.

    The picture your painting isnt honest enough imo.

  748. Gunnersmith says:

    David the point is Rvp will simply never play behind a big man in our new formation the new 4 3 3 isolates the top striker completely upfront you either play on the flank or you play in the midfield simply put.

  749. Stu says:

    We should just play Arshavin in the middle until Bendtner if fit. VP was the playmaker in the team and Arshavin can easily take over until then.

    He played SS for Zenit and didnt do too bad.

  750. Paul88 says:

    In my opinion if bendtner is to be our main focal point of attack for the rest of the season, we’ll win nothing.

    He may turn into a decent player in a few years but he’s nowhere near there yet.

  751. Hitman says:

    RVP out for 5 months ish. That takes us up to end April/ May.
    He will not play for Arsenal again this season BUT will prob be fit in time to play for Holland at WC2010.
    Great!! – I can see another injury in South Africa which will put him out for the start of next season.

    1.This really cheeses me off. Why should Arsenal fans pay his wages so Holland get the benefit
    2. Why werent our Medical staff smart enough to say he wont play until next season?
    There was no need for Holland to play him in a meaningless friendly. They knw his injury history and should have warpped him up in cotton wool. Not playes him against the dirtiest defenders in world football.
    3. There is a nasty part of me which hopes he doesnt play in the WC just to teach the Dutch a lesson.

    Am I being too harsh?

  752. David says:

    GS

    My point is RVP has struggled as the point man against top opposition.

    Against Chelsea Ade absorbed the pressure. Nodded the ball down. RVP turned it into the net.

    When we played the same Chavs RVP with his back to goal was ineffective.

    Poorer opposition he would flourish naturally cuz the defenders are shite. But against Class?

    I hear what you say in this new formation.

    What happnd when we played the Mancs? Or Mancity? Even Fulham kept us relatively quiet but had Fulham had any decent finishers we would have been long gone and buried.

  753. zorr0 says:

    MG still around?

  754. Stu says:

    Not at all Hitman. He is already out for the rest of our season. I hope he is still out when the WC starts. Fuck holland. They injured him, they should have to do without him too.

  755. Confidentgoner says:

    Stu,

    All teamsdo diamonds. No big deal there. The threat from Chelsea from crosses bothers me without Gallas. With Gallas, I think we can meet the threat. We still need a tall defender and now a good striker, who has steel legs, not plastic.

    Mangonian,

    The stage might be too big for Traore, otherwise he could provide an outlet for us, with a fsat paced TV covering him. But if you have only Sy;lvestre or Senderous to cover Gallas, bumping foward cannot be encouraging, can it?

  756. David says:

    Ah there is progress. So its not only David that thinks Bendy isnt the solution.

    Cheers Paul88. Some rational people on here finally.

  757. Paul88 says:

    stu

    no doubt they’ll rush to get him fit and bring him back too early for the WC and he’ll then be fucked for pre-season.

  758. Confidentgoner says:

  759. Paul88 says:

    I do worry about our lack of height tomorrow. No giving away silly free kicks (i’m looking at you song).

  760. Stu says:

    If you are worried about lacking height and set pieces then just play Senderos. He would solve a lot of those problems. But since he hasnt played all season he would probably be rusty and play like shite.

  761. Pat says:

    Arshavin gives away silly free kicks too much as well.

    Bendtner back in 2-3 weeks. Can’t wait. he was looking better than usual before he got injured

    Balague feels that Barca and Arsenal will be this weekends winners and he reckons we’ll win the title…….next season =(

    David;

    My point is we did well vs the top 4, only the scousers did better, the mancs were shite and won the leaguer! That was coz they beat the other 16 on more occassions than we did. If we beat these teams this year and we have been regularly, then we stand a good chance of the title… Now that RvP is out, we may struggle, or maybe players will step up and do us proud…

    I always tend to look on the latter…

    Zorr0;

    Yep, Im back fella…

  763. Stu says:

    Has anyone elsee seen that there is an USA arsenal.com. Its completely pointless. The only differences i can spot so are are the american one has ‘schedule’ instead of fixture…and some things are either not there or look different.

    Have a gander: http://www.arsenal.com/home

  764. Pedro says:

    Hitman, the dutch fa will pay his wages till he is fit.

  765. Stu says:

    You sure on that Pedro. I thought on the english FA do that. :?:

  766. luke says:

    lets buy Podolski!

  767. Pedro says:

    Why would the english fa stu!

    He’ll be insured by the dutch fa.

  768. Stu says:

    Not gonna happen luke. He only moved clubs in the summer.

  769. Stu says:

    I meant the english FA compensate a club if a player gets injured playing for them. Like when we were able to get 100k a week when Walcott was injured playing for them.

  770. Pedro says:

    Stu, the fa would only compensate his salary.not over double!

    Each individual fa takes care of players salaries if they get in injured!

  771. Stu says:

    Really? Didnt know that.

    I do remember reading that we could claim up to 100k a week that Theo was injured tho. That probably meant that they will pay wages up to 100k.

  772. ManGoonian says:

    Hitman;

    It was the Ditch medics who said the injury wasnt that bad… They are the ones who fucked up mate…

    I dont think you are being too harsh on the Dutch FA saying you hope RvP aint fit to play in the World Cup, but it might be bein g a tad harsh on Robin himself… Although having him rested and fit for next season would do me!

  773. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    I read something about how the Dutch Fa wouldn’t have to pay a penny for the injury to RvP, but that was before the news he’s out for 5 months… I thin k if we dont get any dough off em, thats a right fookin liberty and a arf…

  774. Pedro says:

    It might be harsh on Robin… this really is the time for him to shine in a major competition. However, remember how fucker Bergkamp was after France 98?

    I couldn’t be dealing with that!

  775. Stu says:

    I think its also worth remembering that the dutch took Van Persie with them to Euro 2008 despite being injured. He didnt play the first 2 games but he is so important to them they took him anyway.

    He is to Holland what Rooney is to England.

    Those fuckers will take him regardless of his fitness.

  776. AA23 says:

    RVP out for the season. Told you.
    Our players break a nail and its 3 months.

  777. Stu says:

    Breaking a nail…rupturing a tendon…basically the same.

  778. zorr0 says:

    MG, got any help about where to park for the wastelands on weds night?

  779. PDT says:

    Hi everyone! Haven’t been able to get on LG for some time, so it’s good to be back.

    What a game. Lose and we go back to being on the back foot for the rest of winter. Win and we are breathing down the chavs’ combined necks!

    And to have to do it without RvP, Clichy, Gibbs and Gallas!

    Here’s my team for tomorrow :

    Al
    Sagna-TV-Senderos-Traore
    Denilson-Song
    Rosicky-Fab-Arshavin
    Eduardo

  780. PDT says:

    There is a possibility that he’ll play Eboue instead of Rosicky if he is feeling really defensive. I hope he doesn’t.

    Denilson and Song together should shut down the midfield.

    Why Senderos? He might be crap, but he’s still way better than Silvestre!

  781. Paul88 says:

    Is gallas confirmed out?

  782. Stu says:

    No chance of Eboue playing in a forward role because we are at home (at least i hope Eboue doesnt play in a forward role.

  783. Samir says:

    Gallas will play!

  784. Pat says:

    _________Almunia
    Sagna Gallas Verm Traore/Silvestre
    ______Cesc Song Denilson
    Theo/Rosicky/Nasri Eduardo Arshavin

    I think Denilson is very good at covering open space left by our LB, which will probably be Traore. First and foremost, we have to be solid in the middle and I think Denilson can give us that. He was great before the back injury this season.

    Silvestre is better defensively than Traore and I do hope he starts. We can’t have an amateur LB dealing with Anelka. Silvestre is more disciplined and, despite what many of you say, is a very, very solid LB. Better defensively than Clichy imo. Has a good cross on him as well. Threat at set pieces, etc.

    Theo can give them hell IF he runs the channels AND cuts inside to confuse the CBs. He has to be unpredictable and open up space like he did against United last season(2-1 at the Emirates).

    Rosicky and Nasri are both class and I think Wenger will start with one of the 2.

    I’d give Vela a chance of the bench later on, if needed.

    LAST PIECE OF NEW:

    Merida IS available for the CC tie against City

  785. Paul88 says:

    I was wearing my contacts soon after retinal detachment surgery. Shouldn’t be a problem.

  786. PDT says:

    P88, all the reports seem to point to Gallas not being available. If he can play, it will be a HUGE boost for the team. (Samir, I hope you are right!)

    Stu, like Geoff says, “the temptation to play Eboue, Song and Denilson together miay be too great”!

  787. PDT says:

    Methinks the chavs are talking too much and are in for a rude shock….

  788. Pat says:

    “In our game the central striking role is very important,” said Wenger, “because we have a lot of offensive players and most of the time the game comes off this player.” Those words take on a different weight now Van Persie, who was injured playing for Holland, and Wenger know they will not be working together for the best part of this season.

    I think he’ll but in January. A CDM or a striker FOR SURE. Both MAYBE.

  789. Paul88 says:

    fingers crossed then PDT.

    I don’t wanna see a team of eboue, denilson, senderos and silvestre.

  790. Pat says:

    Not counting a dead rubber with Manchester United at the end of last season, it is two years and 18 matches since Arsenal last kept a clean sheet in a meeting with a Big Four rival. The top (in form terms) strike pairing in world football face them at the Emirates stadium today. The scenario does not daunt Thomas Vermaelen but delights him.

    Gallas is a doubt because the area around his eye swelled up and the contact won’t stay in. It’d be ridiculous if he doesn’t play:

    1. He can get goggles
    2. He can cut the area, like they do in boxing, and drain the blood.

  791. Pat says:

    Silvestre is a great LB lads, no worry if he plays there. Shit CB though, at least in a high line

  792. Paul88 says:

    If he can’t see out of the eye then there’s no reason to put the contact in.

  793. PDT says:

    LOL, P88!

    Denilson isn’t as bad as people make him out to be. He had a bad stretch at the beginning of this season, but he is quite industrious and does what he is supposed to do (win the ball, slow down the opposition in the middle) very well. The problem is that people have always compared him to Flamini who was a completely different kind of player. Anyway, I am glad to see Denilson back.

  794. Ja_Gunner says:

    Hopefully we see this team

    ……………….Al……………………
    Sagna……Gallas……Vermy…….Silvest/Traor
    ………………..Song…………………..
    …Cesc………………………Denilson…..
    ..Walcott…………Arshavin…………Eddy….

    With Vela coming on later…..Nasri & Rosicky to come off the bench as well

  795. PDT says:

    Pat, draining the blood is very risky, It works in boxing where there is a multi-million dollar prize on the line and no more fights in the next six months.

    I’d hate to see Gallas side lined for the nxt six months.

  796. PDT says:

    JG, why not Rosicky or Nasri instead of Denilson?

  797. Stu says:

    We are at home so will probably have most of the ball. PLaying Denilson and Song is the likely outcome but preferably we would have one of Rosicky or Nasri in there because they are better than both at keeping the ball udner pressure.

    Who knows, with Silvestre probably going to be at left back and Senderos only having played once all season we might see Song next to Vermaelen.

    It could very well be

    Sagna Song Vermaelen Silvestre
    Denilson
    Cesc Nasri
    Rosicky Eduardo Arshavin.

  798. Stu says:

    Imagine having a defence of all S’s.
    Sagna Song Senderos Silvestre.

  799. Samir says:

    LOL @ Stu

  800. Samir says:

    Would be nice to read out, but a shit defence in reality lol.

  801. Ja_Gunner says:

    PDT…..Wenger has had many opportunities to play ROsicky and Nasri in the middle….but he has not..

    Instead he plays them in either the left or right forward role…

    This is why I say Denilson for the centre because against a team like Chelsea we might need an extra player in there that can intercept….

    I would gladly play Nasri or Rosicky in the centre against teams that park the bus though..

    And Denilson has a good shot on him…he scored a cracker the other day so maybe he can do it again…..since Chelsea might clog the middle..

    Song is developing well….he needs to add long range shooting his skill set..then he will be in the Essien category..

  802. Samir says:

    Frank Lampard risks being £20,000 out of pocket if Chelsea lose to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium today.

    The England midfielder fell in with 12-year-old Jake Peach at a recent awards ceremony and Peach, a leukemia survivor, former patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital and, more importantly, an Arsenal fan, was canny enough to suggest a unique wager to Lampard: the Chelsea player will donate a day’s wages to the hospital, Arsenal’s designated charity, if Arsenal win, while Peach has to wear a Chelsea shirt for the day if Lampard is the victor.

    Hard to tell who got the worst end of the deal.

  803. Stu says:

    Rosicky and Nasri cant both play in the middle because Cesc would have to be dropped and that would just be stupid.

  804. Samir says:

    Any way’s I’m off onto the mighty PS3 :)

  805. Stu says:

    Thats a nasty fucking stamp from Adebayor. You can never tell whether he means things or not. Dirty fucker.

  806. Ja_Gunner says:

    Stu I did not mean playing both Nasri and Rosicky in the centre…

    I meant pairing Cesc with either one of them…with Song or Denilson behind them…..

    Wenger has not done this even though he has had many opportunities to do so….

    Many fans want to see this….as it would be like a Xavi Iniesta partnership….but instead Wenger plays either Diaby or Denilson there……so its more like a Xavi and Keita partnership….with Yaya/SOng behind and Iniesta/Nasri/Rosicky more forward….

  807. Stu says:

    I think he has Ja. Cant remember the exact match but i think Rosicky played right wing and Nasri played in midfield. And didnt both play against sunderland or was once a sub?

  808. Stu says:

    Hmmm..maybe not. It is possible to play both of them though. Could see it tomorrow.

  809. Pat says:

    “It is so frustrating to be out for months. I was having a super season with the team. I had never felt as strong and powerful as this year. Apart from, I think, two matches, I either scored or made goals in all the games we played this season.

    “I was getting so strong, that I felt nobody could stop me anymore. That is the greatest feeling you can have as a player.

    “It is such a pity that great run has been stopped for the time being by one kick in a friendly international match. It is a real shame for me, for the team and for the fans of Arsenal.’’

    Van Persie hopes he can still play a major role in Arsenal’s season. The team, he feels, deserve a trophy. “I want to wish them luck against Chelsea this weekend. I hope the boys keep believing in themselves. I am absolutely convinced they will keep improving and keep the good form of the last few months going.’’

    Robin says he feels supported by the positive reactions he has received since damaging his ankle.

    “In Serbia complete strangers came up to me to wish me well. In London, the same thing. In Amsterdam, at the AMC hospital, everyone told me I had been so unlucky. People tell me they want to enjoy watching me play again soon for Arsenal. That has really lifted my spirit in a difficult time.’’

    FUCK INTERNATIONAL GAMES!!

    He’s world fucking class and miles better than Rooney. Why the fuck is it always us? What have we ever done? We don’t spend a lot, we play with style, we’re pretty well disciplined, we keep with our traditions despite various Russians and Arabs buying every club in the PL and this is how we get rewarded?

    fucking lovely

  810. Evo in Oz says:

    Come on Gooners, lets beat those Chav scum! 3-1

  811. goonermichael says:

    Why is someone going on about rvp not scoring goals against top teams? ronaldo only scored 3 gaols against the other big 4 teams in the league.

  812. goonermichael says:

    He should of made the fat cunt wear an Arsenal shirt with gooner 4 life on the back as well as the days wages

  813. goonermichael says:

    Hi Evo
    Let’s just do them any score will do

  814. Pat says:

    3-1 was actually my prediction…when RVP as fit =(

  815. AA23 says:

    Stu
    you have no sense of humor whatsoever. Most boring poster on here.

  816. zeus says:

    We should definitely look into the possibility that we built the Emirates on a fucking gravesite. Honestly it is fucking beyond belief that we top the injury charts year in year out.

  817. Stu says:

    And a fuck you too AA23.

    Zeus, there is a rumour that a spud fan was involved in the stadiums construction and apparently he buried a spud shirt under the pitch to put a curse on the stadium. Cunting thing seems to have worked.

  818. Pat says:

    This guy is brilliant!! The Wenger impression isn’t that good, but everything else is amazing. And no, this isn’t the scouser.

  819. AA23 says:

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  820. AA23 says:

    That was for Stu not your vid pat.
    But his Wenger sucks.

  821. Honest Bill says:

    one or even two years could be considered bad luck?
    But every year? I don’t buy that. There is something more to it. We have a ahit training regime or something like that, because it’s just too often for it to be coincidental.

    Or Glen Hoddle did it via his mystic hag.

  822. AA23 says:

    I reckon its because we train our players to be quick and agile.
    Means that they aren’t all that strong.

  823. Honest Bill says:

    Yeah but plenty of other teams have small, agile players who play more than ten games in a season. There has to be something we’re doing different

  824. AA23 says:

    Have to agree Honest Bill, we are a bunch of weeds.

  825. Honest Bill says:

    Precisely. we should put out a bunch of little girls against Chelsea, They would probably stand up a bit better.

  826. Honest Bill says:

    And also Arshavin is apparently whining about not wanting to play football because he’s so upset… What the fuck kind of shit is that. Grow a pair of balls for fuck’s sake.

  827. AA23 says:

    I bumped into the tv during the Sunderland game and Rosicky fell over.
    Thankfully he was ok.

  828. Pat says:

    Well, RVP rarely ever gets injured when playing for Arsenal. Its always for Holland. Theo gets injured quite a lot with England.

  829. Honest Bill says:

    AA23 haha, that made me spit the cigarette outta my mouth.

    Pat, yeah but why would they get injured so much? You don’t see the other England players getting injured every time they go on international duty.

  830. Pat says:

    LETS FUCK THEM UP!!!!

    2 am here. Going to sleep. Night Grovers

    Read and weep Terry you poor excuse for a England Captain

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed Chelsea captain John Terry’s claims they feel “invincible”.

    Wenger, whose team could move to only five points behind the leaders – with a game in hand – if they beat them today, reminded the England captain of the great Arsenal side of 2003-04.

    “There is only one team since I have been in England that has been invincible,” he said. “Nobody else has done that.

    “That Invincibles team was so special.”
