Well I’m thinking yes, they have not just been out of sorts, they are beginning to look like a mid table team, now, no doubt they’ll be fired up for our visit, but are they good enough? You would think they’d have been fired up for the Champions league game on Wednesday, but they lost that one, so maybe now is a good time to play them.
Walcott will be up for it, Arshavin certainly will be, so provided we can put a reasonably fit team out, we have a chance to get the three points we so desperately need, these games are must win now, especially with the gap, if we can hope the chavs and the mancs drop more points then we are still in with a shout, the trouble is there are three chasing teams now, the spuds, the northern chavs and Villa, so we have to stay focussed. And we have to play villa on the 27th so that’s a definite 6 pointer coming up.
News that Nikki B is out until the new year means we have to buy a striker, what does the new year mean? January? February? Still, I have to believe that Wenger is out there working on something, I just hope he does it on Jan 1 and not his usual last minute of the window job.
I was talking to Spud old boy Paul Miller yesterday and he told me that after the big derby, they would all go out and drink together, that people like Brady and Rix would all go out and have a knees up, well I couldn’t imagine Cesc doing that could you? I get the feeling that our players hate their players as much as the fans hate their players, well I hope so anyway, I would like to think we are all in this together!
I heard from another source that Terry Neil is not very well, Terry mate, you really are an Arsenal legend and I wish you a speedy recovery, you gave me my best Arsenal moment ever, that was beating the Mancs 3-2 in the last minute of the FA Cup final, that was up there with Anfield 89!
So there you have it, my two finest moments as an Arsenal fan and none of them involved Arsene, so there was life before Mr Wenger after all.
Yes I know we owe Arsene a lot, but other managers had their moments too, moments that will stay with me for ever, so get well soon Terry Neil!
Back to Sunday, back to the big game, they will have Gerrard and Torres, so they will have their best team, I think we will have our best team too and I have a feeling he will play Diaby in the hole or even up front. So this is my guess.
Almunia
Sagna Gallas Vermaellen Traore
Ramsey Cesc Song
Walcott Arshavin Diaby/Nasri
That would be best team with what we have available, that would give us a chance and if we get at them early and pass them off the pitch, I could see us going home with the spoils, but we must get at them early doors.
Have a great Friday Grovers, only two days to go to see us play again. We could get maximum points in December and who knows where that will take us!
I think that bendtner is my favourite arsenal player. I love him so much, he can easily be our number 9.
I see when clichy collapsed and fell on his face from little or no pressure and allowed button face to pick the ball up and breeze past everyone for a sloppy curled shot that Almunia didnt attempt.
Tell me…was that it wasnt Clichy’s fault..
We could really use bendtner right now
It was CLichy’s fault no shit, but it can happen to anyone. A slip, I’ve seen Evra, Maldini, everyone make mistakes such as that, especially if their lazy teammates don’t open up for them.
It goes both ways though. What the fuck were the CBs doing? Backing off? Brilliant!
Damn ive never seen a more shite video. Half the time it isnt even football.
Well thats rather idiotic…seeing that both of them gave the ball up at similar areas on the pitch and somehow its not Rosicky’s fault?
David, CLichy didn’t have cover so he had to come back. The CBs didn’t help him either. Not to mention Clichy wasn’t under pressure.
Song and Eboue were both immediately on Tevez and he got past both of them, the 2 DEFENDERS.
A LWB or RWB isn’t as responsible as the CDM or a CB when he loses the ball in the final 3rd. Its the CDMS or CBs job to fill that space while the fullback comes back.
What are we going to use Bendtner for? To cross on the right wing to Eduardo?
Clichy is a defender, Rosicky is a midfielder. Its quite different when you lose the ball as a defender. Idiotic comparison, as Rosicky had more than enough cover behind him. What footballer would triple team a player when he sees 2 teammates already on him?
Thats fucking stupid and no footballer in the world would do that.
I’m sure Nick would play CF with RVP out
David, you’re always anti-bendtner. So shut up when I am talking about bendtner.
Ah thats where we disagree pat…Everybody should get back to defend especially the one that loses the ball
Every time “Nick” plays CF he’s been quite shite. Why do you think he plays RW?
Rosicky being a midfielder has absolutely fuck all to do with the position he lost the ball on the pitch.
Really Pat these are shocking arguments ure trying to make here.
Its like saying a CF loses the ball in the 18 yarder and its not his fault cuz hes a striker…. really?
And Rosicky has been playing so deep in all these games that he might as well be a CB.
He never plays CF for arsenal, in denmark he played CF and he scored much goals there.
Yes dutchman…passion misplaced i feel.
The coach of Denmark mustve felt Bendy was getting shite in his CF position too and thats why he moved him out wide in his last 2 games for his country!
Not to mention the fact that he was one of the senior players on the pitch!
And what does he do? back off the challenge! brilliant!
nice video eh david
Anyways…I more than anyone else i am fucking estatic that piece of shite is injured. If he was healthy we’d have been completely fukd and have had to really on his exquisite finishing to see us through to the tittle.
Now we have a chance to buy a real CF.
C’Mon Arsene! C’Mon Arsenal!
yoooooooooooo
16 goals last season.
This was the season for Bendy…… Then he got injured.
15 goals last season.
At least no Arsenal players are going to play a friendly
Ok 15 sorry.
PAT
the reason song will be a CD ,is 1stly because wenger said so !, & denilson /ramsey, even nasri was mentioned pre – season to take over the DM role …
songs going to the ACN so you need another player to step up pat .. we cannot have someone go missing every 2nd year at a critical period of all comps .
(had we still been in the C.C ) !
this was the season for bendtner,it will never be ”the season”for him because he is shite,simple
hehehe choy your starting to sound like me
what time is it there?
Perhaps im a bit strong on Bendtner but i dont believe he will be “ready” until another 3-4 years…all the while he is playing in every facking competition fathomable for Arsenal and to think it takes him this many games to improve makes me believe he’s quite shyte.
How many youngsters get that kinda chance?
If Wenger does sign Campbell I won’t be happy.
Imagine our 5 CB’s being Gallas(32) Vermaelen(24) Silvestre(32) Campbell(35) Djourou(22)
Having Silvestre,Campbell and Gallas would mean trouble…..
All injury prone, and they could not play week in week out…
What is Wenger turning our club into?
Have we always been this bloody tight?
He’s on a very very tight rope.
and rightly so thou choy , weve waited long enough !
this promise of wenger might NEVER turn good !?
its not like waiting for a bus is it ..
sooner or later a bus will turn up ..
with wenger it might never show …
you need to have 100% faith in wenger … OR the other side of the coin is you now have
‘ 0% trust’ in wenger because of all the bullshit fed to us for the past 4-5 years ..
AA up front – has to be the short term option for wenger ..
If we can afford to give Bendtner, Denilson, Vela, Song, Jack, all 5-6 year contracts…there is no possible way we are tight. Not to mention Robbin (deservedly) Eduardo (question marks there) and Rosicky (anyones guess)
Next thing you know.
ALmunia will sign a new contract.
This is when you know to make it at Arsenal you have to underperform.
5. 33 am choy .. sun up in 30 minutes
pasted out last night early
from a beer comatose !
Literally, a short option.
Hope Arsh has a blinding game
He signed one in the summer David
david
haha! yes dont laugh, ill give you even odds on that
Its been awhile here on Le Grove hasn’t it ethan?
Lol David
choy say it isnt So! PLEASE SAY IT ISNT SO!
“I am very happy,” said Almunia, who made two important saves in Arsenal’s 1-1 Champions League draw with Liverpool on Wednesday. “I have extended my contract and I hope to be here for a long, long time.
“I talked to my wife and I said I did not want to go back to Spain to play. Hopefully I can finish my career here.
“Football can change your life in one second. At the start of the season, I was not playing. But football changed my life again and now I am one of the happiest men around.”
sure has choy ,
shame the whole time weve been on Le Grove we’ve had no silverware or accolades to feel proud of !
pure frustration and anger.. shite..
with some sparkles of joy!
Arshavin, William Gallas, Cesc Fabregas, and Armand Traore have all recovered from knocks picked up against Stoke last week. Eduardo (thigh) had not quite recovered from his injury but Abou Diaby (calf) is expected to be included in the squad for the Merseyside trip.
only doom and gloom , that is of course unless your A
his mouth is still watering from watching
nik b – ade in the front line
or tipping man U to finish 6th this season !
geez if man U are finishing 6th , we will be lucky to not get relegated
Now I’m going for;
_________Shit Al__________
Sagna–Gallas–Vermy–Traore
_____Fabregas–Song–Diaby___
__Nasri–Arshavin–Walcott__
Alright folks.. off for now..
Night all..
David, Ethan, Samir and Pat.. have a nice day!
Gallas is not injury prone.
Bendtner is a great CF for Denmark and he played out wide in the last game because the coach was so impressed with his form for Arsenal.
Same goes to RVP playing CF for Holland.
samir rosicky isnt out is he ?
id go the same in a 4-4-2
but no diaby = rosicky in …
other than that a sound line up ..
oh and fab 2 for big gay A l
pat
just not sure how wenger can bring Nik B on as a player (afford the down time ) when things are getting desperate for him . He needs to get results soon or i can feel a revolt on our hands ..
Rosicky is out, Ethan. 8-10 days
theo is the 3rd fastest player in the world followed by robin VP
Anyone else using veetle, got a trojan after installing?
Not me Zeus, but I have a mac so it might be different. Not sure though. I doubt you got it from veetle though
I didn’t get one. I’m very scared of downloading these programs but I did it last week and it was perfect, deleted it after the game but I’m hearing now that the new version has a trojan attached to it.
If you’re hearing that, then don’t download it./ Try looking for the older version. It should still work, no?
OR check comments on a different download link.
I love you Ethan
Once again I asked you to call it….you said….
“It might be a draw… or a loss… or maybe we could win if Wenger puts out the right team….”
You went on to say that you haven’t made a wrong prediction since Sunderland…
You are like a pissed up Grandad
you talk nothing but total, 100% hedgebetting shit but we love you for it.
so we might win lose or draw right???
Good work gramps.
Ethan,
Would it be disrespectful if I called you “Twatpah”, as in “Grandpa” from now on?
You have taught us younger (85 years old or less) Grovers so much about “soccerball” (the English ball game) that I feel tribute is due.
Here’s a Christams song I wrote many years ago, it seems so appropriate now, I think I wrote it with you in mind Ethan…
It goes a little something like this…
“Twatpah, we love you…Twatpah, we do…
Even though you talk real shit…we still laugh at you…
one day, when we’re older, we’ll look back and say…
there’s no-one quite like Ethan he is clearly thick and gay…
God bless us all Ethan… I mean…Twatpah!
Merry Christmas!
you prick.
Just kidding Ethan
I mean “Twatpa”!
Seriously I am just kidding Though Ethan
You Twat
Just Kidding
lol
Its unfair to blame Liverpool for losing against Fiorentina. Despite Benitez saying they were really up for it, I doubt the players shared the same thoughts.
Why would they be up for it? They were out of the competition already.
It’ll be a tough game. We have to make sure we take control from the start. They’ll try closing everyone down as quick as possible, like they did against United.
AND, that is usually the only way to beat us, unless we beat ourselves.
dick breath i said we would lose !
draw at best !
do your own ‘grand-pa type brain cells’ remember me giving you 65 % loss – 35 % win stats ..
fuck me what more do you want from me ?
a blood test and me to predict who scores the fuckers too ??
hey … whats your prediction you senile stat forgetting Cnut
maybe you’d like the time of goals also ?
Pat
liverpool are always up for playing us ..
remember their dreadful run a couple of years back when raffa was under fire and we played em over 2 legs in the C.L quarter’s .. it changed the end of there season and them beating us and moving on relieved some pressure on raffa … and we were a better team then with hleb – flamini and cesc (theo) dominating the midfield back then too.
wenger would probably take a point if it was offered to him right now !
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8408904.stm
and it looks like he’s coping more shit so expect stiff resistance tomorrow ..
klinnsman for the new liverpool boss within the next 5 years …
Morning all new post!
Am I the only person who thinks Diaby should play in the striker role with Arshavin playing just off him? To me, Diaby is tall, strong and is the most underrated finisher at Arsenal…
Come on Arsene, you know it makes sense…!!!
