So we are told that Arsenal are going to pay for the travel fares of the Bolton fans for the cancellation debacle, good, so they should, what about all the Gooners that also made their way to the ground, unless the lucky ones me included are local, what about all the Arsenal fans that travel from around the world?
This is another example of how out of touch the powers that be are, that they think we all live in Islington.
Onto our 35 year old ex Highbury legend Patrick Vieira, he won’t be coming and that’s a shame, but the signs are we will be getting another 35 year old legend (ex-Invincible) in Sol Campbell, Wenger has been impressed with his training and if we can get shot of Senderos it could well happen, I for one don’t have a problem there, he is a solid back up and offers far more that fishead.
It turns out that Traore won’t qualify under the international games rule, why? Well because he hasn’t played any! However, he could qualify under the exceptional talent one, after all, we have done that before haven’t we!
Next up Everton, I won’t arrange to meet anyone, in case Arsenal cancel the game at 10am just in case we have a frosty day, however, if it does go ahead, same time, same place Grovers!
There still persist the rumours over Carlton Cole and even Scott Parker, I like Parker, but like Cole, he does appear to be a Theo (crock) unlike Cole and Theo, I think he will always be a crock, so I can’t see that happening, Cole though may well, and again, I don’t have a problem with that. Mauro Zarate has now entered the mix but that is a complete load of toot, one good game for Birmingham, a spell at Lazio, and suddenly he’s worth £35mil, perleaaase!
Dzeko, I would have in a heartbeat but Gazidas has said we won’t spend big, so I guess that rules that out. He says we will only buy if we can find the right type of player, well Ivan, if we can’t find a decent striker out there that would do a great job for us, either you need to go, or your scouting network does.
We lost Adebayor, Robin Van Persie, Theo Walcott and Nikki Bedntner since August, if you don’t think we desperately need a front man, I give up. Even if Nikki comes back soon, he may break again, why? Well because Cesc, Rosicky and Theo all have so why would he be any different? And to be honest, he’s not the answer yet, he needs a few more seasons, then I have no doubt he will be a great, but not yet.
Traore (6’8″ version) seems to be going up in everyones estimation, but until yesterday, no one had heard of him, so why aren’t there others out there that could do a job that we equally haven’t heard of?
Cahill would be another centreback we could get, but if Wenger rates this kid from Cardiff, that won’t happen, however, if we just sign a couple of pearlers in the window I believe the whole squad would get the lift it needs to push on, much like it did when we signed Vermaelen and Arshavin, remember, two ready mades!
Come on Arsenal, get the cheque book out and do it quickly.
We should beat Everton tomorrow, we have to beat Everton tomorrow, I feel the others will continue to drop points this month, and we are entering the toughest part of our season, after that it gets easier, so nail the points on early and we are in pole position, sign a couple of players that will make a difference. If we get injuries to the fragile Eduardo we are in big trouble and right now we have no one we can bring on from the bench.
If we aren’t going to bring Simpson back then sell him, what’s the point in keeping him at QPR if when desperate for forwards we don’t recall him, other than the fact he has no future, and if that’s the case, sell him and buy Moses.
Have a great day today grovers, I hope to see some of you tomorrow, but then that’s up to Arsenal, isn’t it!
LAUGH OUT LOUD at Manuel!!
http://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/arsenal-chants/manual-almunia/
I think we should all get behind him….and push him in the Thames.
That’s a great video despite the soundtrack….
gambon
gambon,
I know it’s a pipe dream, but I would just like fans to forget what was bad and roar in support of our players – we can moan all we want (and I am not entirely happy with some stuff, as you can tell from my posts), but in the end, they are all we’ve got…
it’s a shame that the club can’t do the simple thing and allocate supporters into rowdier, singing sections as well as the ones where you can sit, shut up and leave 10 minutes earlier…
all you have to do is put an acoustic engineer bang in the middle of the pitch for him to use a radar-like device to get the maximum effect…
Chelsea game postponed so they play it when Africans come back. Fucking BS
SUGA I reckon Fabianski definitely number one, but Almunia number two, or maybe someone new. Szczesny needs games to develop, being a number two wouldn’t be good for him, he should go on loan to a championship or maybe even a prem team
Maksud – means we get rid of our game in hand, not necessarily a bad thing
So what about Vito then?
Not sure if this, posted earlier, will go down well in the upper tier where I sit.
Lyrics are in the comments.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fBQPsdQq1E
A,
Prem could be a step too far, but you never know – he’s a cocky fucker and one doesn’t need to worry about his confidence being shot…
You could look at it like that, but i read that the Bolton home game is between the Manu and Chelsea games now?
Yeah perhaps SUGA, though maybe depends how he does for the rest of this season
Vito is not good enough to make it – just thinking of him being in close vicinity of the first team gives me shivers…
It’s not been scheduled yet Maksud, that certainly wouldn’t be ideal though
Same SUGA, he’s definitely improved, but I can’t see him ever being Arsenal class
it looks as if bretna will be back 2 weeks we have edwardo aa thoe vela if wenger were to get a new striker with rvp comming back next season it would mean we will would rvp bretna edwardo vela theoplus a new player the big problem with that is how on earth will wenger keep them all happy i mean by my count that would make 6 attacking players and that does not include jay simpson who has already signed long term contract. also dont see almunia being number 1 next season fab looks alot more achord to me
Maybe he doesn’t have as much natural talent as Sczensky(sp?) but he does have potential, i mean he did keep us in the Fulham game. I see though how he could be surplus (if Al goes and we get another keeper)
it should be scheduled before or after the away one…
Goodplaya is on ATVO…
After the Bolton game would be best imo, before the fa cup game
How are you guys (England) not prepared for horrible snow? Isn’t the weather always bad there?
nope Maksud, never good, but rarely very hot or very cold. Snow is a rarity, which is why we’re totally unprepared when it happens.
Really? I was under the impression it always snows there, there was also that snow storm last year i think that shut London down. I was there in August and the weather was pretty nice except towards the end rained for three days straight.
Maksud, where are you from?
Nah Maksud, get snow probably once or twice a year, rarely settles.
This current snowfall is the biggest snowfall since 1981, which is why the country was/is brought to a standstill
Los Angeles, we’re not used to rain. Otherwise I’d love to move to England.
Pedro, are you out there?
did they invite you to feature on the Friday night thing or are you guys the ‘dark side’?
@least you guys have 4 proper seasons. Only one here… which is summer.
78692 @
Where are you from?
Reggie, East Ham-London,but studying in Lancashire.
At least there should be no problems getting a stream for the game tomorrow.
Could go 1 point behind the Chavs too.
I thought you lived in some exotic location!!
Reggie, I wish.
Lancashire is exotic isnt it?
Where are you from Reggie?
Wenger – I am not signing Victor Moses or Carlton Cole, but Campbell…… Posted on January 08, 2010 by admin
The normally tight-lipped Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has yet again been giving his opinions of the latest Arsenal rumours, and he has destroyed my two favourite rumours, namely Carlton Cole and Victor Moses.
Carlton Cole is a top class Englishman that could play in the Champions League, and the young Palace striker Victor Moses has the possibility to be just as good if not better, but Wenger has blown away my hopes when asked about those two strikers with these little words….
“No, there is nothing in the rumours,” he said shortly!
But when asked about Sol Campbell he was a little more forthcoming, and refused to discount the possibility of him being brought in until the end of the season, but also wouldn’t confirm that Phillipe Senderos would be leaving either!
“Philippe Senderos is not available at the moment, as he is injured,” said Wenger.
“He is free at the end of the season, but at the moment, he is an Arsenal player.
“Campbell trains very hard. Could he play in the Premier League? Why not?
“The speculation goes well at the moment. We have a level of interest for every good player. But do not worry, if we sign somebody, I promise you (the media) will be the first to know.”
So, yet again, my hopes are dashed!
I live in carshalton surrey but was born and bred in Hoxton north london!!
well carlton cole is always injured so he would no good anyway but i never see any info on senderos i just think he is wengers plans i dought he will get another contract
Sol Campbell is gonna be our only signing, with Senderos being sold, so yet again we will be making money in a window.
How depressing!
cole is not a name that has ever been lucky for arsenal
Same old Same old, eh gambon!!
I hope the ACN is cancelled, although I doubt it will. One more attack please, with no one injured of course!
Sir Alex Ferguson: Lack of talent, not lack of cash affecting Manchester United transfers
Btw, Vieira has a calf injury and City still signed him. hmm
Who the fuck is Bretna?
Bendy ZorrO
pat thats exacly the problem right now there is not realy huge amount top players availeble right now just in terms of strikers theres is davad villa may be few more players but not to many right now its just about having funds but find a top quality players that are over priced
How funny would it be if ade was shot in the leg ha ha ha ha
leon,
there are quite a few good strikers available – Podolski is just one example…
lol, I gathered Reggie, just wondering why the fuck he kept calling him that!
How goes matey?
suga i realy dont there not top players availeble in the marketi mean the perfect bench of that fact manu i garantee you if there huge amount top strikers out there fergi would have gone for one
Im alright mate just pissed off with AW not signing anyone yet!can you see anyone coming in?
1 for Geoff!
http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/578227/mongol-the-rise-to-power-of-genghis
I think fergie is cash strapped
leon,
ManYoo are skint – this season will expose SAF as nothing more than a chequebook manager – good one, unlike Rafa, but a chequebook manager nevertheless…
Suga
Id rather have a successful chequebook manager than an unsuccessful pound stretcher!
Reggie, I agree with Pedro, there is no need to panic, there is very little going on at the moment so it’s not like we are missing out is it?
There is probably shit going on that we will not know anything about until the very last minute when there is someone having a medical or waiting at a hotel for the deal to be struck.
Be like the pavements bro; chill!
gambon,
I would rather have AW bending the rules a tiny bit, tbh…
suga no club will spending more 20 mill on striker in jan unless you chelsea or man city
how could viera join mancity..shockin!!!!i thought if he returns to english football then it would b for jus arsenal….
leon,
really, that is just a cliche – it is not about money, it is more about players being cup tied, selling clubs being in the middle of the season and all that…
we got AA only because Russian league season was finished…
karthik,
it’s not Spuds, Manure or Chavs – I say good luck to you Paddy, suck the petrodough out of this classless bunch…
this can only be bad for them, not good – he doesn’t have legs to cut it in the Prem anymore…
apparently we couldn’t offer him regular footie
The big money strikers who MAY move:
Villa
Huntelaar
Benzema
Dzeko
Huntelaar probably cheapest, but still gonna be in excess of 20 million. Villa wants to stay in Spain, so that’s only 2 clubs in for him. Benzema, Real will want to recoup most if not all of what they paid for him and he seems to want to give it a go in La Liga and Dzeko will be minimum of 25 million.
Could we realistically sign one of them with the fee and wages. Possibly. Likely, no. Shame, as with any 1 of 3 of them we would win the league (Don’t think Huntelaar is the man)
suga3,
i know he doesnt have the legs..but its kind of hard for me to see him in a mancity jersey…n i still think he has enough experience to shut down the game,,and could help mancity defensively which they struggle!!!!
karthik,
I think it would be sad to throw him to the lions – if I heard the boo-boys having a go at him for not keeping up with our pace, it would break my heart, really…
Suga3, too true mate, that would be a bad moment seeing a legend getting grief off our lot!
sorry i dont know any club that will sell there top striker in mid-season unless they are out contract or the player realy wants to leave and evon the club wont sell unless its 20 mill at very least i would to love to see villa come but will never happen
Yeah paddy is yesterdays man,still be gutted to see him play for them cunts though, chill like them pavements ZorrO HAHA !!!
leon,
that is exactly what I mean – however, there are a few players out there that would be keen to impress ahead of WC and would jump at possibility of playing for Arsenal…
again, I think Podolski would be a good buy…
podolski?? u have been playin 2 much fifa
Im off got a early start tomorrow laters every one!!
Laters Reggie.
omfg
had we played those norvern cunts bolton the other day… and done everton tommorow.. with chelski having their game postponed…
we would have gone top
eboue,
I play PES mate
it has nothing to do with it – he is a quality player, keen to play, that is why he requested a move back to Cologne from Bayern…
he is banging them in left, right & centre for Germany, can score a freekick and is 24, which means good resale value…
laters, Reg
pes 2010?
suga dont get me wroung there alot good strikers out there that are lesser known and can become top class and thats type of signing wenger will going for the david villas that just out of our reach real madrid man city spending 30 mill for 1 player will never happen at thi club henry was not world class striker when he first came to arsenal rinaldo was not world class when he first came to manu both fergi and wenger are strong belivers in developing young players and thats the way wenger continue to go
i aint seen much of podolski but what i have seen does not impress me 2 much
Cotto, Kool and the gang buddy, top in May is what we want.
Cotto,
no, the earlier one – don’t have too much time to play nowadays, so I didn’t bother
eboue,
I’ve seen enough of him to say that he could do a great job here – Wenger was on his case some time ago too…
we have to put in a good show for 1 month and its all down hill from there on
leon,
in order to get the player to develop, he must be surrounded by class, look no further than Cesc…
Pedro Says:
there’s nothing AKB about not panicking after 8 days. Especially the position we’re in.
————————————————
let your guard down for a second , and it will be like getting molested by a fat chick at a Christmas party !
be on your guard , ever vigilant !
wenger is contemplating buying no-one !
a bit of noise and discontent now might make him buy !
SO MAKE SOME NOISE !!!!!!!!!!!
u forgot the greatest suga the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be EBOUE!
Reggie57
you live in carshalton?
I know it very well, got family in wallington.
the same eboue who doenst get a game now over denilson – diaby and song ?
his days are numbered mate … better find yourself a new name
eboue,
http://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/arsenal-chants/come-to-see-eboue/
Yeah right Ethan, like AW gives a shit about us!
ethan,
Ebowie should be rotated with Sagna IMO – there is more possibility to rotate there than in CB positions, and would prevent fatigue, given that our fullback run up an down the pitch…
yes he is good back up for sagna – agreed ,
but that was the position eboue was in last season too and wanted to leave @ the end of it ..
id say even more so now …
suga was about to say the same thing,i think he is beter than most rb’s in the epl.he hasnt got the brain to play on the wing
‘
suga i feel this team does top class players now and scoring is not problem yes it took some of these young players some time but they are starting to hwo there class the fact is if you hvar talent you will make it
I like reading the comments here and i usually don’t comment much except on match days… but i read a few comments here and was absolutely disgusted by them..
People who think Ade should have been shot and making mockery out of the whole incident, i feel really sorry for you guys. You guys are ridiculously stupid, senseless out of ur mind FUCKING BASTARDS. You are taking football to a level where you guys can’t differentiate between sanity and insanity. For all the crap he speaks and bullshit he comes up with time and again dont forget that he played for us and yes he is a human being after all. I would be ashamed to think of you as Arsenal supporters wishing for someone to get hurt or shot or making a joke out of the whole situation. I might get banned for this but whoever said that in the comments above i would ask him to think about it once before going to bed. Also to the guys who wrote those comments change your ways or stop supporting arsenal.
Ardentgooner
i wouldnt of shed a tear if i heard he was shot dead to be honest,wouldnt wish it thou…….well maybe
Way to go BK, that should calm Ardent down.
Laters
so how about the nik b head butt ?
or the RVP stomp ?
if you call yourself a gooner 1st you would NEVER be talking such trash the guy was a wanker , a wanker at every club he’s been in , to his national team , even to us FFS whilst he was still with us ! gimme 100k or im outta here !
that prick NEVER bleed red and white , he only bled for himself ! and a cash horde !
and the asshole couldnt hit a fat girls ass with a cricket bat
(got to use that saying again .. i luv it !)
He probably has the most offsides V’s games started in EPL history ..
he had the 1st touch of a pedo !
and was a right royal wanker when he celebrated
his 1st goal against us !
total fucking pratt !
and anyone who doesnt think LIKEWISE shouldnt call yourself a gunner !
CLUB 1ST
RACE 2ND
ardentgooner, you are obviously not white ..
get over yourself . im a white man in a non white country .. most western societies are well over race related issues ..
its just this sort of public speaking that keeps the debate raging ..
i love gallas and hes as black as you can get ..
i hated ade because he was a lazy, crap player with a bad attitude and a football touch that didnt suit our style of play ..
thats it game over ..
he didnt kill any one did he? did he wish u were dead ? did he wish you lost your legs?
I am not asking you guys to cry over it or feel bad…all you could do is keep ur filthy trap shut and talk whatever bull shit u want and not talk about the incident at all…
but you wouldnt understand that cuz u dont have the brain to understand such things.
I’m a brown guy supporting arsenal for years now….race doesnt have anything to do with it. i love the black players as much as i love the white players…its got nothing to do with race color or anything. i hate rooney i hate ade, i hate drogba and i hate ronaldo…but i dont wish they got injured.killed in a terrorist attack or anything….. why would you want that for anyone.
it’s going to be weird at the african nation’s cup when someone gets in on goal, what is the crowd meant to shout, er…?
you are a sad man ethan..i pity u…really. all i can say is hope you get well soon!
I feel sorry for our club to have supporters like you ethan..seriously!!
now your talking my language rooney,ade,drogba and ronaldo all on the same bus.And while we are at it can fat sam be the manager and phil brown be the bus driver
easy, ardent – not that I wish anyone any harm, but Paul’s comment about running the length of the bus to celebrate in front of the gunners was effin’ hilarious
I for one think we should call Song & Ebway off from this poxy place…
and on that note, I’m off 2 bed…
nite all
yes suga it is a bad place,as the prodigy said “there is no law”.fuck i would not like to be going to the world cup….Dark continent indeed
yes , im obviously the one with the issue here
anyway ardent chill out ..
if you cant handle opinion , even left wing ones then goto arsenal.com ..
ade lets his anger out on the football pitch in a violent manner , think about that next time you defend him for being such a saint !
Ethan
Are some of your best mates black?
fucking twat
as i was le president’e for the ade fan club whilst he was here i only think it my duty .
shit ardent get over it.hes a cunt that wouldnt be missed,at this stage man city would love to have him off their wage bill.
so we are saying most africans arent savages?
that stamp was pretty bad?

HARRY REDKNAPP has slammed the door shut on Robbie Keane leaving Tottenham by rating his striker as being worth £50million.
gp,
why not £100M while he’s at it?
suga3 can u give me the link i was reading comments by pedro and others temted me to have look at it
Thats 99.99 million too much
gp,
you can just click on my nick, that’ll do
sorry for the delay, but I went to sweep the snow off my car!
morning!
hahahah robbie kean for £50M? shitty may grab the chanc tho.
and there was a comment below this story on the sun… liverpool can have him and harry can get him back afetr 6 month for 3m
and thanks suga3.. i just read the post. wishing u all the best luck and get as many readers,,,hmmm not just reader but one who make comments as well
ok i am leaving for home will catch you guys later

AA23 we don’t slag fellow grovers off. Ethan you two need to move on.
Well it’s snowing here so I will be surprised if the game goes ahead, it’s worse than it was Wednesday, but they need to act soon, the scousers will be on their way as will many Arsenal fans.
thanks, gp
Geoff, how bad is it there? Sounds like theres at least 32 cm snow on the ground from some of the press/comments.
Geoff: Is AW’s pay actually linked to Club profits?
Pat it just stopped snowing, it’s no different to Wednesday, but it will go ahead because a cancellation won’t suit Wenger!
Micky yes, it’s linked to how much the club makes, profits, if we spend £30mil on a player, his bonus goes south.
How do I know? he said so in a TV interview.
Geoff: To me, this is fucking outrageous. He is a football manager. A part of the whole LeGrove AKB debate should revolve around the fault of the board who put this contract in place.Like any other football manager, he ought to be allocated a transfer budget. End of.Is this arrangement precedented in the PL.
NEW POST!
Micky, I highly doubt his performance bonus from not spending any money out weighs his win bonus for taking the league or Champions league home.
