I didn’t say that, current Chairman Peter Hill-Wood said it, unfuckingbelievable, here we go again, I hope like hell this isn’t the preamble to our manager spending fuck all in the transfer window again.
PHW, here’s a list. Dzeko, Villa, Gervinho, Adriano, Benzema, Luca Toni, Henry, Keisling, Fabiano, Pazzini, Cassano, Ballotteli, Pato, Gignac, Saha and even Chamakh.
He then said that Wenger had said he wasn’t prepared to go out and buy a player who is not better than the ones we have got.
Here’s another list Peter.
Buffon, Akinfeev, Joe Hart, M.Diarra, G.Milito, Chiellini, Sackho, Hangeland, Toulalon, Gourcoff, Hazard, Silva, Yaya, Shawcross and about to be available Craig Bellamy, shall I go on? Or do you see how stupid that statement was. I wish he would stop making these ill timed comments, I really do.
I’ll get onto the match shortly but I have gone from feeling 100% sure Wenger had at last seen the light, to someone with that same feeling of dread that I get every season. Arsene don’t wait until we are out of it before you do something, don’t wait until we lose key players to the ACN or worse, injuries, act now, this week and for once strengthen the squad and at least let us all believe we have a chance of winning something this season.
Don’t just let Hill-Wood trot out the same old drivel, get the players in now that will give us the success we so desperately crave.
Even you saw the difference Arshavin made, you said it yourself he was the reason we qualified for the Champions league.
Now onto today and the villa game, they will be coming looking for three points, make no mistake, they fancy themselves, they did it at Old Trafford and they’ve done it before at the Grove, but in fairness to the minging mancs, they should have won that game 4-1 so if we have our finishing boots on, I have no doubt in my mind that we will stuff them full of our own special brand of Christmas cheer.
They do have some big boys up front, they have pace out wide and they have the determination of footballs ugliest player since Luke Chadwick, James Milner, as I said before, he and Young are the providers, cut them off and we will stop there supply.
I hope the boss doesn’t go 4-5-1 as a result because they aren’t that good, we need to shut them down and chase every ball like our lives depended on it, you know why? Because it does. The chavs slipped up yesterday as did the spuds, so today we just have to win, after this we can have a breather and if he does sign players, then maybe we can push on.
I have a feeling today will be the noisiest game this season, I’ll be there and singing my lungs out, we’ll be in the S&B or outside the Tavern, whichever works at the time. I reckon we’ll be there from 11am as it’s Christmas so if anyone’s around, we’ll see you there, they’ll be a bunch of us.
Enjoy the game wherever you are, let the team know you are there and if you can’t be there, then pray hard, the team will feel it!
My Villa mate read the post yesterday so I’m now into a bet that involves at least 3 clear goals, ha, ha, I have a feeling my money is safe, go on you Reee-eeeds!
I bet the big wigs of Barcalonely & Real were watching the Cesc Half Hour. Salivating as usual
nishanth,
we are ‘about’ to produce 2 absolute monsters in these positions: Szczesny & Coquelin…
however, that is nowhere near our LB production rate
Clichy has had his ups and downs and is a better defender as a result of that. Therefore I would 100% keep Clichy.
Szczensny has done really well at brentford.Should be ready in 3 years time.
While the score was 2-0 with the ball up the Villa end I actually watched Gallas walk up to verminator on the half way line, crack a joke and laugh.
Gallas laughing; wonders will never cease.
If Arsene is to go for an attacker, I believe he would go for Babel, who played 82 minutes this season, has EPL experience, and even CL, young and has the potential. Also, Liverpool are in need for the money. However, I still believe that Vela has better potential than Babel.
Anyways, I still believe AW will move for a DC or DMF. We have no depth at those 2 positions.
Any news about Fab4 injury?
I think he may be ready much sooner than that!
I reckon he may get a loan move to a Championship side for the whole next season or take no.3 spot if Mannone is sold (which is unlikely, given the fact that suitors may be quite scarce)…
my money is on him challenging the no.1 as early as 2011/12 season
the big question now, who is the best betwen Gibbsy and traore.
what do you think?
Gibbs
g4e
Scan apparently today.
I would consider taking Babel as well…
he has a lot of TH14 about him, AW could polish him into the next great thing IMO…
I have heard Carlton Cole is a done deal or Arsenal have shown an interest. Take your pick.
I hope you are wrong gooner4ever.
Benitez would never allow it…Coz he knows Wenger would mould him.
After the Heskey performance yesterday I will be surprised if he goes to South Africa. He is a spent force.
Carlton cole would be nice.Even getting someone like scott parker won’t be a bad idea as cover in midfield.
Scott Parker, now you are talking.
thing is, if the Pool board sells a player behind Rafa’s back, he may walk without getting the payoff…
watch this space…
Goonerman,
Villa buying Heskey was the sole reason for their last season’s chase for the Top 4 imploding IMO…
change of formation, making Carew second choice, etc.
Lot of talented attacking players in bundesliga.Wenger might go for someone from there
Babel is not good enough for Arsenal. Arsene could have bought him for £4 million 8 months before he joined liverpool. Babels first choice was always Arsenal and he has repeatedly said so before joining pool.
But Wenger did not fancy him at the time and now you know why.
Villa still have a solid chance of getting into the top 4.
Suga – agreed but they were also rathered knackered, after a few bad results their confidence dropped.
I would select Carlton Cole to lead the line for England; I can’t see Heskey surviving.
Is drogba playing for chelsea today?
Villa have a small squad; marginally bigger than last year.
My money is on Liverpool to come good.
Drogba – yes.
fixture list is quite congested, isn’t it?
I mean most of these teams played 2 days ago – the results may be quite interesting…
Goonerman,
Heskey should not even make the squad – Owen seems much more effective playing for a bit below par Manure and he is unlikely to get a call up for WC…
Cole (if fit) + Crouch should be enough in ‘tall’ department there…
i believe liverpool will overcome villa in the second part of the season.
i wouldn’t stand the idea of spuds or shitty taking the fourth spot.
If we survive the January Month with 3-6 points to the leaders we could be CHAMPIONS. Check the fixtures and by mid Feb we would have played all of the top teams.

Gooby,
if I was to make a prediction, I’d say one of these two will gatecrash the elite club…
Shitty would be my preferred option, as one could put it down to one thing (money), plus Spuds would not stop blabbing on about it even if they got knocked out by some shit side in the qualifiers…
All 3 chelsea’s african players are playing today.We should also try to keep song and eboue for the portsmouth game
I could not face Spuds getting into the Top 4, yuk.
Song will stay, Eboue is set to leave today (I think)…
I don’t mind villa getting into top 4.Would be nice if united drop out too
Totts v WHU & Chavs v Fulham look tasty
London football today
