Wenger absent from Colney and early press conference, does that mean?…

So Pedro heard from his ‘man-in-the-know’ yesterday that Arsene was not at training and did his press conference early, does that man he was meeting our new star forward, or does that mean he overslept? We can only hope, but who knows eh???

So the Senderos move may not happen, there is no news about young Jack going out on loan and the only transfer crumb out there, I just gave you, still only 12 more days and we can stop all this speculation, he did say yesterday that he can’t believe the injuries we are getting, I can Arsene, we always get them!

Even more reason to get busy then. Still we cannot influence that so I’ll move on. I did notice after watching the mancs lose to the chav mancs last night that they have 4 ex-Arsenal players in their team now, last night we only saw one of them, 48 year old Silvinhio, I did like him, and a lot more than Cashley Cole, he is way past it these days though, and it was sad to see him running out of breath so easily, so I really can’t see the logic to that purchase.

I did say yesterday, if they are so keen to sign all of our players, why on earth did they not buy the Arsenal in the first place, it would have been a lot cheaper!

I was with a Vice President and sponsor of Chavski yesterday, and he told me the EPL had the rights to the perimeter advertising and that is one reason they give so much money to teams, so that answers one of my ‘how can they afford to do it’ questions.

Tonight’s the night then Grovers, tonight we get to go top and show the footballing world we mean business, it’s all pointless if we don’t add to our squad though because we were here last season in terms of promise, and bombed out of two semi finals, yes we have added Vermaelen, but we’ve also lost Ade and Kolo, yes some of the kids have stepped up, but we need more players, the cupboard is bare. Both cupboards before you ask!

I will try and put my team together tonight from who I think is fit, here goes.

Almunia

Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy

Rosicky Cesc Diaby

Walcott Eduardo Arshavin

I think that will be his team, at least I hope so, but he may put Denilson in for Rosicky and Vela on the left with Arshavin on the right for Theo.

That’s my guess, but either team should do it, Rosicky gave us that added bite on Sunday and I think Traore needs a breather.

We need to smash them tonight, I would be disappointed if we only just win, as this is the game that could make the other two wobble, the chavs have had no threat all season and the mancs lost to the chav mancs last night, so with both these teams in our sights, and both these teams to play, I would hope he starts to play the same team if he can, avoid injuries and start to get some consistency.

We were magnificent at the Reebok, play like that at our gaff and we’ll be top of the league, ‘We are top of the league, say we are top of the league’ I haven’t sung that for a few years so let’s hope we can all belt that one out tonight, I’ll be there screaming and being generally silly so let’s all make a noise for all those Grovers that only get it on the wireless set, because we aren’t on the box.

Maybe a cheeeky bid for Steven Ireland? Yes I know he’s butt ugly, but he is a top, top, playmaker.

On a final note, watching the chav mancs last night, it emerged that their manager rates Given as the best in the premier league and in the top five worldwide, and we didn’t think he was better than Almunia??? And before you say he wasn’t on our radar, I have a source that says he thought he was coming and he was gutted when he didn’t, what a shame, he was inspirational last night, and even though he plays for them, I really like him, he’s worth 10 clean sheets a season and 15 points.

Have a great night all, tomorrow we’ll be top of the league!!!

    Over a week with only web mobile……grrr…….

  11. welcome back finestcuts :D

  12. Gunner UNIT says:

    Sabeel you are unbeatable afterall

  13. where were u finestcuts/terry

  14. Wiseman says:

    Geoff – How could having a press conference early suggest that he overslept? He would be late then! :)

  15. finestcuts says:

    Thanks Sabeel, so many good articles I’ve missed out on, and I shall of course be voting for le-grove for best community.

  16. Gunner UNIT

    hard luck fella, who r u, never seen u before

    hope u r not an imposter(is it u ?) :)

  17. finestcuts says:

    Sabeel, on a mission to my old apartment where I had of course cancelled my net connnection.

  18. finestcuts,

    good to have u back…hope we win today…

  19. bnsb says:

    WHAT? No Denilson? :)

    I don’t think Theo will start, who would take that place?

  20. finestcuts says:

    I’m confident of a win today Sabeel, of course we may be unlucky as can happen in football, but I don’t envisage that so anything other than a win for us would be a massive shock.

  21. stonroy says:

    Yeah I was thinking how fantastic Given was as well. Not grabbing him has to be one of the stupidest things Wenger has ever done.

  22. Denilson says:

    Come game time, I’ll be there bnsb ;-)

    Good post by the way, Geoff.

  23. stonroy says:

    Sabeel I hate to stand in your way there mate but when I clicked on here today there was no comments yet. It’s just that I come here to read the blogs instead of type first.

  24. bnsb says:

    Denilson, thanks and yes post a link to good stream :)

  25. AngeAusArsenal says:

    Great to be back on LeGrove after having 10 days on beautiful Hamilton Island.
    Cant wait for tomorrow and at the very civilised Sydney time of 6.45 am.

  26. finestcuts says:

    Yes good post, if Arsene doesn’t know of a good forward, who does? By beating Bolton tonight we’ll be in an excellent position to lure top quality players. “Would you like to join an EPL club in with a realistic chance of winning the title?”

  27. stonroy

    what do i say fella,its only a game ..

    all i can say,is u have the oppurtunity to type in first as soon u come in too…

  28. Duke says:

    Stonroy, well said, this 1st comment thing is a bit childish if you ask me, who really cares?

  29. Finest

    yes u r right,

    I like the team put out by geoff,i felt Diaby there showed that he has matured enough to “not go on attack’ all the time,

    in the final 20 mins at reebok,we saw that diaby didnt look out of place,when merida came on for eastmond..

    i hope Diaby keeps that discipline in protecting the back 4,if we set out the team that geoff has put in today…

  30. stonroy says:

    true, sabeel only a game mate.

  31. sixx pac says:

    good morning. Hope we’re not reading too much into it

  32. glag u see that stonroy…

    Duke,its only a game,and games are played by both child and men :D

  33. bnsb says:

    Just struck me. Mr. Wenger could just be talking to Mr. Canales Sr. :twisted:

  34. stonroy says:

    Duke it takes all types mate, but we all love The Arsenal and that is what binds us together.

  35. Gunner UNIT

    where have u vanished :D

  36. Duke says:

    I like the team, but I would put Fabianski in, as would 99% of all Gooners I suppose.
    I noticed Diaby held on to the ball for too long when he went back, he learned to let go of it quicker, and when he is higher up the pitch it’s okay, but on Sunday he almost lost the ball right in front of the defence. He could do one stupid mistake like that and cost us.
    I think he will play the same team as last time, only Denilson in for Eastmond.

  37. finestcuts says:

    I love the team above, full of attacking flair but…..the unsung Denilson needs a spot so he can develop as well.

  38. bnsb

    good point,

    Guillem balague reckons that Arsenal is good for canales,and his father here shows that the boy has no problems to play abroad…

  39. dave T says:

    sabeel cares

  40. camdengoon says:

    Wenger’s press conference consisted of him stating clearly that we are no closer to a signing and having Walcott back and Bendtner back soon will be like new signings. I don’t expect anyone coming in- hopefully it won’t show at the end of the season as what will Wenger’s answer be then? I personally think we need a defensive midfielder as much as a forward as well.

  41. Duke says:

    Sabeel, I know and if you enjoy it, then it’s your right, I don’t get my panties twisted because of it, specially with a regular like yourself.

    It’s like they say, “Tits and computer games are both intended for children, but grown ass men have much more fun with them.”

  42. Gunner UNIT says:

    Hey i’m not an imposter. i was TH14 then TheGroverFormerlyKnownAsTH14 remember

  43. stonroy says:

    That look that Willy gave Manuel on the weekend could stop a bull in its tracks. Wenger must know what’s going on. Is it that he trusts Manuel or he doesn’t trust Fabianski?

  44. Big Dave says:

    He over slept

  45. arsenal4ever says:

    Wenger is so desperate to scupper any deal for Sergio Canales. I am sure if he wants go abroad we are the likely destination.

  46. Gunner UNIT

    yes i know “TheGroverFormerlyKnownAsTH14″ :)

    how do we know who the new name was earlier right…

    where have u been so long

  47. Gunner UNIT says:

    Wenger was probably watching that shitfest last nite that’s why he over slept

  48. choy says:

    Geez.. the kids got knocked out in the fourth round!

  49. bnsb says:

    Arshavin must be the Most frustrated man with Diaby :)

  50. Duke

    i agree with u with fabianski there,

    whats the problem of wenger with fabianski,i dont get it..

  51. stonroy says:

    I saw that Choy but then I got a little nervy when he says at the end, some people would never understand it if I leave…I was like hold on, stick with that I’m proud to be an Arsenal player bit and forget this leaving stuff. Just me reading into it too much.

  52. Big Dave says:

    He reckons that Chamakh will announce he is signing for us, so therefore he is not signing a striker

  53. dave T Says:
    January 20, 2010 at 09:20
    sabeel cares

    Dave,
    i lost u there ?

  54. Gunner UNIT says:

    I’ve been around just reading the blogs , no time to comment – thanks anyway.
    @ stoneroy – whether you post first or not you aren’t gonna beat SIG or TAIG

  55. Homer says:

    GUUYS!!!!!!!! WHEN IS “SONG” GOING TO BE BACK..

    ———–Almunia

    Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy

    —–Denilson Cesc Diaby

    –Rosicky Eduardo VELA

    Subs– Arshavin,(He should rest)
    Walcott(Crappy !! shuldn`t start at all)
    who else is thet every1 is injured!!!

  56. Jaguar says:

    Whats this fuss about an over rated Chamakh.Chamakh is shit.

  57. we absolutely need all 3 points,before those quartet of tuf premiership games…

  58. NigerianGunner says:

    Been a while Grovers! we’ve had a good run and we need an even better one over the next few games for the season not to collapse. I mean what’s the point of doing so well up until now to be dumped out of various competitions and lose sight of the mancs and chavs.

    Our transfer activity isnt exactly encouraging and yeah Arshavin was right when he said we’ll need a miracle to win a trophy this season

  59. Sam says:

    Sabeel,

    Do we have live telecast of tonite’s game in India ?

    I dont see it listed on the espnstar site.

  60. stonroy says:

    You’re right Gunner Unit, they just want it more than me I guess.

  61. Gunner UNIT

    i hope it is only SIG mate :P ,

  62. bnsb says:

    Now we know where his loyalty is:

    ttp://tinyurl.com/yj8o3x7

  63. Gunner UNIT says:

    Thank God the game is live here in South Africa.
    I say 4 – 0 to the Arsenal
    Arshavin – 2
    Diaby
    Fabregas

  64. Sam

    No Sam,it isnt there, only pool match is on espn,and on star they have the australian open,

    but since pool match was abruptly decided to be broadcasted,i do have 2% hope that ours may come on star sports.

    espn by the way are Liverpool ass lickers,buggers…

  65. Duke says:

    Playing Almunia over Fabianski this season is one of the greatest unanswered questions of all time.

  66. OM says:

    I heard that Wenger was seen on a quick trip to Paris this week? Adding a personal touch to a bit of business or seeing a friend for lunch!?!?!?

  67. Gunner UNIT

    u r right,its been ages since we saw arshavin score for us,i feel…

    would be even more happy if he bangs them in,when we play the tuf quartet of EPL matches next

  68. Ken says:

    I said two years ago on this site that we were completely stupid to not get Given. I was dismissed by most here. Imagine what we would be like with him now.

  69. Jaguar says:

    Even after a string of great performances,we have people like A who come here and say that Clownmunia is better than Shay Given.What a joke!

  70. Duke

    the only reason i see almunia there,is so that wenger motivates our forwards to score more goals,becos the the leaky bucket almunia… :)

  71. Duke says:

    Arshavin has not been good enough for the past few month, I think he misses people like Bendy and RvP.

  72. Gunner UNIT says:

    Yep he is long overdue a goal or two.
    also about the “tuf” games ahead i’m gona put my money on us to win all and i don’t give a fuck wat anyone says!
    15 points for the next five games!!

  73. bnsb says:

    Sabeel

    There is NO live game tonight on ESPN-Star

  74. stonroy says:

    Ken I was the very first person on this site to say that Almunia wasn’t a world class Keeper, it was a couple of years ago and I got a shellacking. My simple answer was, he saves the ones you expect him to save but never the ones you hope he would save…Err I was a little wrong there, now if he saves anything it’s a bloody miracle.

  75. Duke says:

    Sabeel, hahah, Wenger is just very very stubborn, I don’t know how he could drop Jens, but is not dropping Almunia, I guess because Jens was getting on a bit with age, but he still expects Almunia to be number 1 for 3-4 seasons to save money. That is why he won’t drop him. He knows if he does, that is the end of him, and if Fabianski doesn’t work, he will need to spend.

  76. rob green says:

    Ha ha ha Almunia better than shay given. That’s the funniest thing I have ever heard. Surely nobody thinks that?

  77. Gunner UNIT

    thats the spirit

  78. stonroy says:

    Duke I think he missed Cesc. Brilliant players play well with other brilliant players. Now that Cesc is back I reckon will see him hit home a few.

  79. SUGA3 says:

    morning y’all ;)

    great post, my thought exactly – let us hope that we won’t cringe under the pressure of going top…

    COYRRNATG!!!

  80. Jaguar says:

    Certainly A thinks that Clownmoonia is better than Given.

  81. patthegooner says:

    Sad and Very Predictable, Groundhog Transfer Window is upon us

    http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-sport/football/article-23797252-returning-stars-will-be-like-new-signings-says-arsene-wenger.do

    We have so many players out that our talks are more focused on ‘when is he back, when he is back’ and it looks like any player we can get back is like a transfer because we have not seen some players this season – like Walcott, like Bendtner.

    Jesus Fucking Christ. So I guess Theo is like a new signing evey month, he is out injured that often. Does he honestly think that Theo will now go fit till the end of the season? and Bendtner too?

    Come on Arsene dont miss a fantastic opportunity here.

  82. bnsb

    i know,i am sure we will get good streams ,not many matches 2nite u see

  83. Jaguar says:

    If we had Given in our goal,we would have been top of the league,leading by atleast six points.

  84. rob green says:

    stonroy how do you know you was the first person to say it? prove it. I said it when 10 years ago :)

  85. stonroy says:

    laters

  86. SUGA3 says:

    I said atthe beginning of the transfer window that the ‘new signing’ bollocks was just a matter of time ;)

    fucking hell, words fail me :lol:

  87. Duke

    if it is abt money,i hope wenger sells almunia “ASAP” in summer,and get better keeper with that money + somemore..

    becos at this rate in 2-3 seasons,we wont get any money for what almunia will fetch in the summer

    its another issue,if almunia would attract any club

  88. stonroy says:

    Rob I can’t prove it mate. It was more a sense of frustration seeing it all come to realization than a challenge to who said it first…It’s all good.

  89. Le Foxe says:

    Granted Ireland is a good player but do we really need another playmaker?! What we want is someone to finish off the moves for us…just an out and out goalscorer that hopefully Eduardo will become when his confidence grows even further….hopefully!

  90. Jaguar says:

    How the fuck can that hypocrite bastard come out with the new signing nonsense every transfer window

  91. yes Suga

    we were discussing that at start of transfer window,remember…

    and it is happening again

    Bottomline,we have got anyone yet in jan transfer window who will help us “significantly”

    campbell is just gap filler,thats is all but no Serious signing yet..

  92. bnsb says:

    We have more injuries than any other team, naturally more returnees every transfer window. How convenient?

  93. Jaguar says:

    Yet another third place in the offing.What the fuck for Wenger.Bastard will get his bonus,FFS.

  94. choy says:

    fook everything else…

    cmon arse.. we need to beat these twats and go top of the table….

  95. Sig says:

    that was one of my favourite chants at the cup final against Liverpool a few years back

    “we’ve got Silvinhio, you’ve got our stereo…”

    nice to see him again last night

  96. Pedro says:

    Give it a rest Jaguar…

  97. Jaguar says:

    Do you really admire it when he spews out the same old crap of new signings,Pedro?Why the fuck cant he shut up about it!

  98. patthegooner says:

    SUGA3

    To be honest I am numb to it now. I said at the start of the month I was not going to get caught up in transfer frenzies as it always ends in dissapointment. So have taken the mindset that we are singing nobody (Sol does not count) and anything else is a bonus.

    They always follow the same line

    1) Wenger publically recognises where he is short

    2) Wenger says he is looking but ‘honestly’ is not close to signing anyone. And he will only add if he finds somebody better

    3) Propaganda.com post stories about how great up and coming player is and how round peg can play in square pegs position

    4) Injured player A and B are like new signings

    5) September 1st and Feb 1st. I have belief and faith in this team, Average fringe player gets new long term contract.

  99. Jaguar

    i know it is frustrating,but hopefully we wont be 3rd this season,becos unlike other season we used to see the same wenger chant that ‘returning player are like new signings’,this year,the kids are one more experienced..

    hence solely on the fact that we have one moe year experience in the squad,we may hope a bit more i feel..

    as transfer is not in our hands,only hope and support is..

  100. pathgooner

    thats an excellent precise summary,

    we must post that Arsenal/wenger transfer window strategy on the -> right hand bar of le-grove..

  101. Duke says:

    Sabeel, well you see Wenger doesn’t really care about the selling money, you can see this by how many players he lets go for free or for much less money that they are worth, because they asked him to leave.
    Campbell, Henry, Viera, Edu… I can go on and on.
    He just does not want to spend, so he will play Almunia until he is way to old.

  102. Duke says:

    pat, that is an exellent breakdown of our past 4 transfer seasons.

  103. Dublin Gunner!!!! says:

    Great post geoff!! I can honestly say! This is no lie!! I met Shay given in portmarnock (where the Irish team train) an just before he signed for city I asked him was he going to arsenal, he smiled an said I wish!! I do rate him as one off the best, such a shame wenger didn’t go for him! We would be at least 5/6 clear off top, and geoff I think I was the one who said about Stephen Ireland?!?! :)

  104. Big Dave says:

    So when RVP comes back he will also be a like a new signing. !!

    Even that cunt Brazil said that we are only 2 good signigs away from winning the league

  105. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Evening all

    Geoff you touched on the northern chavs earlier. How good a form is Tevez in going to the World Cup ;) I reckon the Argies will win The World Cup 2010.

    Now for the main course.

    For The Arsenal to go Top of The League would stick it fair & square up the knockers of England’s finest Club. Going into February @ the pinacle would be devestating for the rest of the comp, not to mention the English press, etc.

  106. JoeBaker64 says:

    You can add number 6 to that, Pat. Wenger – ” We were a little bit short towards the end, I recognise this and plan 2 or 3 super, super signings”. Sure, Wenger, but only after the season ticket money has been trousered and you can once again tell us you don’t want to kill Denilson et al.

  107. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Evening Irish also if you are about. You still down here or back in Paddylands and/or Blighty?

  108. patthegooner says:

    Joe

    Ha Ha

    Yeah I forgot about that bit. No doubt a certain Cheque book will be off to South Africa again

  109. Duke

    u r really frightening the hell out of me,when u say almunia will be with till he gets old…

  110. Arsenal Tom says:

    good post again.

    unless we make at least one signing our time at the top wont last long though!

  111. Arsenal Tom says:

    and maybe the reason we get so many injuries is because all our players only weigh about 10 stone!

  112. I agree with JoeBaker and pat

    we must have a bullets on -> right hand bar of le-grove listing “Classic quotes,excuses of wenger”

    yes 10 days remaining,i hope we are proved wrong..

  113. Pedro says:

    Jaguar, he’s doing a good job at the moment.

    Slagging him off all day is ridiculous.

  114. Big Dave says:

    Ivan is the one who sees the players and agents.
    the reason AW was not their is because he had a stomach ache and the runs so he had to dash off early

  115. Pedro

    Are the reasons our squad so much injuries down to the fact,that the more young players play,the more they get injured??

  116. JoeBaker64 says:

    Snow watch. Snow is moving east (towards London) but may not settle. Heavy rain is forcast for later, so it looks like I am going to get wet again on my way to the game.(4th time this season).

  117. Pedro says:

    No idea Sabeel. I suspect it’s down to over training.

  118. Duke says:

    Sabeel, I am terrified myself, but he can’t get even worse can he? And if he hasn’t been dropped yet, then we can’t expect for him to be dropped later.

  119. Gunners The Stunners says:

    GG9,

    I agree with you on the English press thing. I believe you meant English media not only press. But that’s true, it would be devastating for the media and all those pundits who wrote us off to finish even 4th at the start of season. Also, it’s funny how all of them pundits have now started praising our style of play, our talented young players who are scoring goals for fun.

    I mentioned this on Monday here that the only reason Sky showed our game against Bolton on Sunday was that they were hoping us to crumble and lose there so that their pundits could go on & on about us not having enough spine to compete against Mancs & the Chavs. I can’t wait for tonight’s game when we get to go top and I’d wanna see what those pundits would have to say after tonight.

  120. Pedro

    its been sad to see arshavin underperform becos we all know he is playing through the foot injury as wenger is saying,

    such is the injury crisis,that we do have buffer to let arshavin recover so that he can play at his peak..really sad..

  121. such is the injury crisis,that we do *NOT have buffer to let arshavin recover so that he can play at his peak..really sad..

  122. Duke

    does anyone know if almunia is a distant relative of wenger or something,

  123. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    GTS

    Well you don’t have long to wait. As for me, like AAA said, 6.45am tomorrow morning on Fox so I’ve gotta sleep to go yet.

    I will be listening out for the “We are Top the League, say we are Top of The League” Bring it on all who are going :lol:

  124. Pedro says:

    Sabeel, the best players always play through injury, that’s why we pay them so much.

  125. i am sure almunia must be doing some favours to wenger…

    its there for every1 to see,defense dont have faith in almunia..period

  126. AngeAusArsenal says:

    Heyah Gnarley,Pedro, exciting times eh!

  127. Pedro

    arent we extending Arshavins deal,

    seriously if we dont improve arshavins contract,then it will be like evry tom dick and harry is getting a contract improvement,but not Arshavin

  128. Gun Show says:

    First time post, always read the comments though!

    Geoff, top post. I’m keeping all my digits crossed and hoping the main man is in talks to bring in a super star today!

    I think we’re going to win tonight, but don’t expect it to be easy. Sabeel, no offence, but you should slow down with the posting.

    Peace out Gooners.

    Why does everyone rate Given?? I don’t think he’s particularly good, I’m not pretending Almunia is better because he’s pretty useless & I said on here before the season even started that I would like to see Szczesny in goal, the guy is fantastic & proving that at Brentford.

    The fact is though that nobody can say we’d be in a better position if Given was in goal, after all Man City have conceded more goals than us & Given hasn’t prevented teams like Burnley getting a draw at the council house.

    We need a new keeper, but lets make it someone world class, not just another average one.

  130. Arsenal Tom says:

    wenger wants him to come good so he doesn’t have to buy someone else.

    plus he probably thinks if he drops him he’ll have less chance of selling him in the summer meaning less money to put in the bank if he does ship him out

  131. Pedro says:

    GMR, I’d rather recruit internally.

    Fabianski is going to be a world beater and if Chezzers is any good, why not blood him? Cech and Iker played from a young age.

  132. GMR

    the debate is just that “Comparatively” Given is better than Almunia,

    With Defense of ours,given could perform better than Almunia

    debate is just
    Given vs Almunia..

  133. GMR

    Szczesny and mannone are good,but am not sure wether they can handle “pressure” consistently

    Maybe we can back Fabianski over them…

  134. Pressure of EPL and CL i mean

  135. GMR says:

    Pedro – thats what I said, I would like to see Szczesny play. I don’t think Fabianski is good enough from what I’ve seen, he is too much of a headless chicken. However, if Wenger won’t try Szczesny then buy a world class keeper. The last truly world class keeper we had was Seaman & he made a massive difference. Lehmann was better than others we’ve had but still too rash at times & did cost us goals.

  136. Pedro says:

    GMR, I think that’s just youth from Fab. That wont take long to get out of his system.

    I agree we need a change. I’m worried about the upcoming games and whether the pressure will get to Almunia.

  137. embryo says:

    Why do people keep banging on about us needing a DM? Song has that position covered, who would we sign that would be happy to sit on the bench waiting for Song to get injured.

    looking at AW comments, no way will we be signing anyone, real shame. let’s just hope B52 comes back full of fight and does the job, cos Walcott will be injured after 30 mins tonight if he starts.

  138. Cescs_MyBoy says:

    Geoff –

    good post – but I would rather not over stretch some players and win, then smash them and get an injury or two. 3 points is the most important thing.

    Also

    We didn’t have the money for Given. Arshavin personally had to finance part of the deal to Arsenal at the 11th hour.

    Dont think we had the £6 million – for the transfer fee – and the further £5-7 million of signing on costs / fees lying around.

  139. Read that galindo signing may not happen becos of this age formalities,as he hasnt yet completed some transfer formalities

  140. GMR says:

    Sabeel – I don’t think Given is better, although he’s no worse either. At the beginning of this season there were a lot of people on here still complaining about our defence, yet we’ve conceded less than city. They have Lescott & I lost count of the people saying we should’ve signed him. We also leave ourselves open to counter attack far more than City do, so really there goals against column should be better than ours. If Given is as good as he’s being made out to be why have City lost so many points to poor teams??

    All I’m saying is that I don’t want either keeper, either play someone with real potential or buy a truly world class one.

  141. Pedro says:

    Cescs, you just made up two things there.

    1, Arshavin financed the deal.
    2, we didn’t have the money for Given.

  142. Ken says:

    Sorry GMR but to even compare Almunia to Given is an insult to Given. And to call him average is an even bigger insult. When I watch Almunia I end up thinking how did he possibly fuck that up but when I watch Given it’s usually how did he keep that out..

  143. GMR says:

    Pedro – I think Fab is better than Almunia. He has this bad habbit though of running like a steam train to the edge of the box when he’s about to throw the ball out & he’s gone over the line several times without being pulled up, the trouble is, that luck won’t last. I’d feel much more comfortable if he curbed himself from doing that.

  144. GMR says:

    Ken – thats your opinion, I don’t agree with it. It’s easy to blame the players around him, but it’s hardly like Given has won anything. I remember Ben Foster looking like a world beater at Watford, because he had shot after shot to save, put him in a team that doesn’t have that & he looks awful.

  145. Duke says:

    My girlfriend was upset after seeing one of those “What Maddie looks like Today…” pictures in the paper,
    “Why are you crying?” I asked
    “It’s just so horrible,” she sobbed, “I look nothing like that!”

  146. Johan says:

    Good Morning Gunners!

    Feels like shite that I have to go to a lecture already but anyway, here’s my five cents.

    Chamakh is -NOT- shite, infact, he is a good forward and I’ll remind everyone with this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5AgYTPdy60

    A guy with that touch can definately play for us, and I’ve seen him far more than one Youtube clip.

    Besides, the fact that he is quick and agile belies the fact that he is also very powerful one on one and as a header.

    When it comes to Arshavin, well… It’s a fucking shame even if we pay him good that he has to play injured. The fact that he gets shitloads of cash doesn’t counter the fact that we loose quality in our striking line because of an injured player….

  147. Gunners The Stunners says:

    Last night on Revista De La Liga, Gilliam (whatishisname, The Spanish expert) broke the news that the father of Racing’s 18 years old Canales was spotted at the Arsenal training ground on Monday. Apparently, he was here to see whether the facilities and atmosphere at Arsenal will be suitable for his son.

  148. Pedro says:

    GMR, though I think Given is a far better keeper than Almunia, I will agree that the irishman is overrated.

    It’s easy to look a superstar in a team that allows your goal to be peppered…

  149. Ken says:

    Fair enough GMR we’ll agree to disagree but I’ve watched a lot of both keepers over a long time, not just this season and there is zero doubt in my mind which one pisses all over the other one.

  150. GMR

    u do have a point,regarding the amount of goals leaked by shitty,

    But it is tough to discount the individual mistakes that Almunia makes,time and again our defense help him,

    I dont think given makes so many individual mistakes throught the games as much as almunia does,

    Mistake are not just conceding goals,but mistakes in overall play of a goalkeeper…

  151. Mr B says:

    COMEON TUNISIA!!!

    Pedro Ill give Song a 10 in advance to save u somework for tommorow. :)

  152. Johan says:

    Regarding transfers

    I can’t understand what made peoples hopes go up this time, have I missed something?

    Regarding Geoffs little piece of news, well… I’d be happy if it’s that wonderful new striker. But I just don’t believe it is.

    Pedro

    As for Given, I think he is good. As you say, better than Almunia. But if only Almunia could get the trust of his defence back and start to show some consistancy, then suddenly the huge difference that everyone seen to see would suddenly be difficult to distinguish..

  153. Nick says:

    Morning grovers :)

    Duke you sick puppy :grin:

  154. GMR says:

    Sabeel – As I say I don’t think Almunia is better, I just don’t think either keeper is good enough for Arsenal.

    It’s no surprise to me that Newcastle are a team that struggled, yet now Given is no longer there they are top of their league. Yes it’s the championship, but a league widely acknowledged as the toughest to get out from & Newcastle sold or lost nearly all their better players pre season. The defence which is there now was the same one Given was playing behind.

  155. Duke says:

    Nick, morning :D

  156. Pedro says:

    Johan, the only way you get trust back is by proving yourself and becoming assertive.

  157. Geoff says:

    Anyone who doesn’t think Given is the best keeper in the EPL is crazy, crazy I tell ya.

    He makes himself look big, he never stays rooted to the spot and he distributes well, everything our keeper doesn’t.

  158. insidealbania says:

    Hello Grovers,

    Should be a good game tonight, I feel confident after the teams display at the reebok.

    The GK position for us is a problem at the moment, and it is so obvious that our defence looks more nervous and shaky when Almunia is in goal. And every time the oppo team get a corner I fear for the worst because the guy cant be trusted to deal with crosses.
    I think the solution will be promoting from within because our two Poles look good and promising, and I cannot imagine AW spending over 5mil on a keeper let alone the 10mil a true world class GK will cost.

  159. Johan says:

    Fabiansky is and will be better than Almunia, only thing is that he needs to stop being so impulsive. He needs to plan his actions in the air a little better.

    But I for one almost hope that Almunia becomes unavailable for the month to come..

  160. Ken says:

    Agreed Geoff, there’s simply no comparison between them..

  161. Nick says:

    Both mank teams look beatable and utd look a shadow of the team to when the winker was there haha both center backs being out helps as well i suppose hahahaha

    I have always rated given from before he went to newcastle … believe he was at blackburn? good keeper and plays like it means something to him which is nice to see from any player especially the keeper

  162. GMR says:

    Geoff – I take it you missed the match yesterday then?? Man Utd’s only chance & Given, instead of knocking the ball out, knocks it towards the middle of goal which ends up resulting in a tap in for Giggs. Then in the second half he dives to his left before Owen even shoots & only Onuoha on the line prevents a goal. If that had been Almunia he’d have been slated on here (& rightly so) but as it’s Given people just forget it.

  163. Johan says:

    Geoff

    Given is good, and might be the best in the league atm, but that says more about Cech not being in form, VDS being injured a lot and Reina being in about the same shitty form as the rest of the scousers.

    Pedro

    Yeah, I agree.. Feels weird that Wenger doesn’t recognize the problem.

  164. embryo says:

    if he picks the hapless spanish waiter tonight we need to get behind him, it’s all too easy to slag him off. he needs confidence, then the back four will trust him. so let’s make sure we cheer all his successes tonight?
    i still think he’s shit though, but support is the way forward.

  165. rob green says:

    I am not saying given is undoubtedly the best in the league but he is a lot better than Almunia. For people to say he isn’t better or they are just as good are insane!!

  166. GMR

    This time around

    for shitty, there first choice Defenders are shit

    for us , our first choice defenders are better than City defenders

    Isnt it difficult to keep in goal,when one has shit defenders like City have,

    I think if Given is in our goal,with our defense better than city defense,we may not leak “that many” goals,even though we are susciptible to counterattacks…

    In addition,i do respect your views that u dont see any big difference between Almunia and Given,for fair enough points that u have touched on

  167. rob green says:

    GMR – no point in listing his mistakes we will be here r day listing Almunia’s mistakes!!

  168. Catch u all laterz….

  169. Cescs_MyBoy says:

    Pedro,

    Arshavin owed money to Zenit – we could not cover it around 2mill i think

    same window as the given transfer. listen, i dont know how many times i have to explain this, arsenal football club make money, but when your part of a multi faceted business, it was easier to appropiate profit from the football club to the developments to maintain liquiditry, rather than increase risk in highly volatile capital markets.

    aka – we didnt have the money for given.

  170. Geoff says:

    GMR I guess you didn’t watch it either then because I saw him save point blank from Rooney twice and once from a flick from the outside of the boot when a goal looked certain.

    Blaming him for the ManU goal is like blaming VDS for not saving the penalty.

    I thought he was fabulous as did both commentators.

    Perhaps it’s just you then!

  171. Nick says:

    laters sabeel fella ;)

  172. SUGA3 says:

    embryo,

    this is what I said before the Toffees game and what came out of it?

    I reckon ruthlessness is the way forward if you want to succeed in the cut-throat world of the Premier League…

  173. SUGA3 says:

    Cescs,

    no one here gives a flying fuck about the ‘other’ parts of the business…

  174. Johan says:

    Nick

    I think we can get by with a win over Aston Villa and a win over the Mancs and the Scousers. Then we might loose to the Chavs, but I think that nine pts during the late january/beginning of february will win us the EPL. Then we face the middle/bottom teams for the rest of the season except for Shitty which means we can focus more on the ECL.

  175. Nick says:

    suga is that frank butcher on your avatar??

  176. GMR says:

    I would be here all day listing Given’s faults. I really cannot be bothered, as I say neither keeper has won anything & it’s not a surprise to me that the only club interested in him was a bunch of wannabe’s. If people want to think Given is world class, then I wonder about their sanity but hey ho!!

  177. walter says:

    A small remark on the goalkeepers: City in the league so far 6 clean sheets and Arsenal in the league sor far… 6 clean sheets.

  178. Cescs_MyBoy says:

    Suga,

    and that’s exactly why you fail to understand the importance of it all.

    but you carry on with your thoroughly comical tone of knowing more than arsene.

    it does make for entertaining reading

  179. GMR says:

    Geoff – Your contradictory nature never fails to amaze me!! It’s ok listening to commentators when they agree with you, but when commentators rave about Song or Denilson then they’re nothing but idiots!! Or maybe it’s only you who doesn’t realise how good Song is!!

  180. frichie79 says:

    The problem with Arsenal keepers is the concentration issue. Face it, for long periods we dominate possession, opposing teams barely have a sniff at goal, then there is a set piece or maybe a break away once in a half, by then our keeper is cold having done nothing. If Almunia was playing for any other team in the bottom half I think you will see him being praised as a great keeper cos he is saving 20 out of the 24 shots on goal.

    Currently he is saving 2 out of the 3 shots to save! Mostly.

  181. embryo says:

    Suga3, i agree but AW doesn’t seem to see it that way, sometimes i think he picks Alfumblia just to piss us off. the guy that sits next to me is likely to kill someone if he fumbles one more cross.

    we can live in hope i guess

  182. Nick says:

    johan inclined to agree,believe we can get a result against the chavs this time around.

  183. Pedro says:

    Cescs, I don’t know how many times I have to tell people that we do have money, backed by the financials, backed by the MD, backed by the manager, backed by the Chairman.

    You’re talking nonsense and you’ve got no grounds for your statements.

    As for Arshavin owing his club money… was that part of the transfer fee? Are Arsenal supposed to get involved in the personal debt of players when they sign them up?

    … and please, don’t start with the Arsene knows nonsense, it’s not really an argument.

  184. Soham says:

    Which channel telecasting the match in India ?

  185. bnsb says:

    Bolton game plan, keep Fabregas quiet:

    http://tinyurl.com/y9qqrzj

    What will they do this time – strangle him?

  186. embryo says:

    Frichie, that’s why safe hands was so good, stood around doing nothing all afternoon, then called on to make one save when we were 1.0 up with 2 mins to go and he’d always pull the save off. no fuss no bother. that’s what makes a good keeper. we don’t know if Given could do that cos he’s always been very busy wherever he’s played

  187. bnsb says:

    Soham

    No one, unfortunately.

  188. Geoff says:

    GMR as usual you can’t be bothered which in itself is a contradiction because you started by saying I obviously didn’t watch the game and then told us that Given was not that good.

    Then when challenged, you start all the ‘I can’t be bothered bit’

    I find that amusing.

    As for Song, I saw how good he was in the ACN when he conspired with his uncle to gift the opposition their goal.

  189. frichie79 says:

    My point exactly embryo

  190. Geoff says:

    Talking of owing money Pedro, you still owe me from that round in the Tavern that I never got any change back from.

  191. Pedro says:

    My favourite quote:

    “There is this constant thing that the Emirates is bleeding the club, that we’ve got these repayments — it’s total crap,”

    Danny boys quote.

  192. frichie79 says:

    IT was actually the same complaint with Lehmann, he would get bored standing around all game, and would then go all ‘Geistig’ (MENTAL) and gift a goal.

  193. Pedro says:

    And another:

    “Look at our accounts and you will see our net payments are £20m and the revenue increase from the new stadium is close to £50m. Explain to me how that stadium bleeds the club if it’s producing an extra £30 m-a-year. Our wage bill is very similar to Manchester United’s and substantially above Liverpool’s. It’s substantially below Chelsea’s, but that is expected.’’

  194. Pedro says:

    Geoff, I got the round in the tavern!

    Me, you, Peaches and Fran!

  195. SUGA3 says:

    Cescs,

    no, I don’t ‘fail to understand’ anything – we are a football club in the first place, right?

  196. Geoff says:

    The stadium bleeds me dry at £4 a pint, but you wouldn’t know Pedro, would you.

    Fucking good cop.

  197. Johan says:

    GMR

    Most keepers for the big teams are in a similar situation, there is only a couple of chances every game, and those chances are mostly on set pieces or during counter attacks.

    Most big teams manage it, Dida does it in Milan, Julio Cesar does it in Inter, Cech does it in Chelsea, Casillas does it in R.M. etc etc etc….

    What is sooo difficult with our gameplay that it differs sooo much from the other teams? The 4-3-3?

    Well, here’s a piece of news for you. Valdes does it in Barcelona! And we’ve copied their gameplay this season. Sure the 4-4-3 stretches out the defensive line a lot, and creates space for an attacking team between midfield and defence, but thats about keeping pressure, nothing our GK can do now can he? So in the end, ‘our’ game play isn’t really the issue for Almunia, it’s himself and especially the lack of confidence he has when he acts, and ultimately the lack of confidence he brings to our defence…

    Fuck! I just missed out on my lecture :S

  198. Pedro says:

    Ahh, but the multifaceted nature of business and the liquidity on the property side… that’ll throw people.

  199. Pedro says:

    Geoff, don’t reveal our cunning good cop bad cop plan.

    Never reveal our true agenda…

  200. GMR says:

    Geoff – I hope you pay more attention to your work than you do whats written on here because you seem to be forever mis-reading what people say or maybe you just try & twist things so you look good!!

    I said I would be here all day listing Given’s faults but I can’t be bothered to, as far as I’m aware I haven’t then gone on to list them, so your comment makes no sense.

    If Song is shit because he made a mistake at the ACN then I assume Vermaelen is shit as well for giving away a penalty?? Or you going to contradict yourself again!!

  201. Johan says:

    Pedro & Geoff

    It’s been obvious since my first time here on the blog that one of you plays the AKB part and the other is very anti AKB on here. I don’t think I need to say who plays who. :)

  202. wayne says:

    I would not play Walcott ahead of Denilson. Did you see what Bolton did to our defence on Sunday? The more defensive we go the better. Plus Walcott has only just returned and needs a sub appearance first as usual. Our tough Brazilian on the other hand is a defensive regular, although when Song gets back I would play Diaby in front of Denilson…

  203. ethangunner says:

    well done geoff ..,

    I think that will be his team, at least I hope so, but he may put Denilson in for Rosicky and Vela on the left with Arshavin on the right for Theo.
    —————————
    seems you have no problem in working out the midfield and can still include vela without having to add eastmond .. shame A cant :)

    my point is PLAY YOUR BEST 11 .

    win every game and we might just get thru it ..

  204. Lew says:

    he may have just been showing canales’s father around the training facilities and stadium as was rumoured on another site. if that is the case then nothing to get excited about ’cause he’s not exactly going to win us the league this year

  205. Pedro says:

    I don’t play an AKB role Johan!

    Geoff and I just have conflicting views. I think that’s healthy for debate.

  206. Odub says:

    G’day y’all,

    Still can’t get over the fact that we could go top today, less than 2 months after getting violated by the chavs and falling 10 points behind them!!

    Well done lads!

    The big test will however be the next 4 league games after today, we win 3 of those and we’re in with a shout!

    Anyway, good post as always guys, and see whoever turns up at the tavern later today.

  207. Nick says:

    The FA are “looking into” Gary Neville’s one-fingered gesture towards Carlos Tevez in Tuesday night’s Carling Cup semi-final at Eastlands.

    Neville was warming up on the touchline as Tevez began his celebrations following the first-half penalty that pulled Manchester City level.

    Tevez appeared to gesticulate towards Neville as if to say “shut it”, in response to the Manchester United skipper’s weekend comments that Sir Alex Ferguson was correct to let the Argentina star leave Old Trafford last summer.

    Neville’s own reply, captured on camera, was of the one-fingered variety, which triggered more taunts from Tevez.

    And on Tuesday morning the FA have confirmed they will look at the matter before deciding whether to take any further action.

    WONDERD WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT :)

  208. Geoff says:

    GMR go and read your 10.58 comment, I rest my case.

    How can you say Vermaelen is shit, my goodness what do you watch? And what penalty?

  209. Geoff says:

    Johan, of course he’s a fucking AKB, you should sit next to him at a game, still at least he doesn’t think Vermaelen is shit like GMR does.

  210. Goonerman says:

    So is Dzeko a remote possibilty? Where’s Arsene?

  211. Johan says:

    We might take the lead, but it’s with one game ahead of Chelsea… Will be great, if it’s the case tonight, to stand of the top for a while though.

    Nick

    Tevez has been shunned, taunted etc etc by the Mancs a lot since he left, just look at Rooney’s and VDS’s action prior to the penalty. I’d be afraid of walking on the streets of Manchester if I was Tevez, stupid ManU fans will probably try and beat him.

  212. Goonerman says:

    So Geoff plays Adrian Durham and
    Pedro plays Ian Wright.

    Is that right right right?

  213. Gooby says:

    le grove only 9th?? what???

  214. Geoff says:

    Goonerman I am not ginger!

    Johan he’ll be okay, no one who supports ManU lives there.

  215. Sam says:

    Did wenger in his press conference yesterday talk about injury comebacks as new signings already ?

  216. Johan says:

    Geoff

    I’d be happy to, but I’m stuck in the Swedish cold, so it’ll be TV for me.

    Goonerman

    I think Dzeko is overpriced and overhyped. So hopefully it’s a very remote possibility.

  217. Geoff says:

    9th what Gooby?

  218. GMR says:

    Geoff, I’ve re-read my comment at 10.58, where does it say on there I cant be bothered?? I don’t care if Given made 498 saves yesterday, the fact remains he only had two real threats & f**ked them both up, the first time Giggs scored & the second time he was saved by the defender. If Almunia makes one mistake you slate him, he could have an absolute blinder tonight but if he makes the same errors that Given made last night, then tomorrow you’ll be on here slagging him off. As for the commentators, they thought Given was so good they gave MOTM to Tevez!!

    As for Vermaelen, I don’t think he’s shit at all, but if you apply the same logic that you used for Song then he is!!

  219. Gooby says:

    http://www.adifferentleague.co.uk/default.aspx?Tab=1&Page=6&Article=1119

    sam posted this earlier about arsneal blogs ratings

  220. Geoff says:

    No GMR that was your 11.06 comment, go and check.

    I can’t believe you still think Vermaelen is shit, what games do you watch???

  221. GMR says:

    Geoff, where did I say Vermaelen was shit? Copy & post the comment where I said I think he is, otherwise stop trying to get people on your side, its childish!!

  222. bnsb says:

    Geoff,

    The link at 11.41

    Dont read the comments on that page :)

  223. GMR says:

    Geoff – that comment at 11.06 was a response to Rob Greens comment at 11.02.

  224. Geoff says:

    Gooby, you mean the same post that gave us an 8 for regular posts.

    Strange that because we posted 365 days for the last two years, in my book thats a 10. So they obviously can’t count!

    I don’t participate in their surveys and they hate that.

    Sad bastards.

  225. Nick says:

    THE man of the match was tight they said and wolf boy just piped given to it!!!

  226. Pedro says:

    GMR, I think Geoff was taking the mick with his Vermy comment…

  227. Johan says:

    Feels like all the ratings were to the most Arsene-friendly blogs, and honestly I can read Arsenal.com if I want Arsene friendly news… :P

  228. Geoff says:

    11.26 GMR, take a look.

  229. Geoff says:

    Pedro, I think I’m going way over his head!

  230. Pedro says:

    Gooby, it appears that anyone who runs a blog hates Le Grove!

    I reckon that shower of shite site should get it’s own house in order before passing judgement on others!

    Like I said yesterday, I bet 80% of those on that list would give up an award to have the community we have over here!

    7 for content… pfff! If the content was shite, no bastard would comment!

  231. Geoff says:

    Back later, I need to attend a briefing!

  234. Gooby says:

    geoff

    yeah i checked other blogs and they hardly have more than 60 comments a day.

  235. Geoff says:

    Pedro this blog is only good when I write the posts, everyone knows that.

  236. Pedro says:

    We get more hits than them as well.

    Maybe they should come and speak to us about content.

  237. Nick says:

    gooby most dont post daily and each post is lucky to get 400 over a few days Le Grove is King and most people on here are normal rather then Internet geeks…pedro excluded :grin:

  238. Pedro says:

    GMR, he was joking…

    You said he didn’t read properly.

    He made up a statement that wasn’t’ there.

    MANCHESTER UNITED: The Red Devils have joined in the pursuit of Spanish sensation Sergio Canales, the 18-year-old Racing Santander star who has got the buzz going across Europe. But with every major club in Spain, England and Italy wooing him and a current contract that expires in the summer it looks like he’ll have his pick of clubs. (Daily Mirror)

    What a laugh!

    the snow effect over crimbp should have pushed that upto a six very festive i thought ;)

    Pedro – I don’t know Geoff or his sense of humour, so how would I know he’s joking on here.

  245. Gooby says:

    lol- i reckon you can’t blog anytime a day about arsenal on another blog. like when i get home at 2 in the morning i can still chat a bit bout arsenal

  246. Pedro says:

    GMR, it was a pretty logical joke, you seem to be pretty up on his contradictory nature… so I’m sure you’ve read a few of his comments.

  247. JohnA says:

    I just hope Arsene doesn’t play Denilson tonight.

    I’d much rather have:

    Diaby
    Rosicky/Walcott Vela
    Cesc

    Arshavin Eduardo

  248. Johan says:

    Pedro & Geoff

    I hate to break it to ya, but ArseBlog does have around 700-1300 posts a day. I just checked.

    No Pun intended, so don’t go Gestapo on my ass and ban me now!

  249. Nick says:

    So we get a 10 there then gooby :)

  250. Gunners The Stunners says:

    Gooby,

    You checked other blogs??? You must have missed OleOle (ArseBlog). They have an average of over 1,000 comments a day.

    Look at the list of their comments count which is called ‘Arses’ on their blog,

    Today – 260+ and counting
    19/01 – 1,312
    18/01 – 724 (Booooo)
    17/01 – 1,809

    Johan, we’re not talking about Arseblog.

    Plus, have you read the comments? They make no sense.

    Pure football talk, this is the place to be.

  252. Johan says:

    Honestly, I think the reason this blog is so good is because of the criticism against the Arsenal mainstream and Wenger.

    Cunts…

  265. GMR says:

    Pedro – What has someone contradicting themselves got to do with their sense of humour? It’s clear to everyone who’s read this blog for a while that Geoff will use so called experts or commentators when they agree with him, but the rest of the time he calls them idiots (& thats being kind).

    The point about him mis-reading is a valid one. He comes in on conversations & then starts putting things in which weren’t there, so why would I think the Vermaelen stuff was a joke & not him trying to twist things??

  266. Pedro says:

    I’m over it now…

  267. CHIPPY says:

    ** Site even ** :-)

  268. Pedro says:

    GMR, it means that you pay enough attention to notice contradictions, so you should recognise his sense of humour.

    It was quite clear you didn’t say Vermaelen was shite.

  269. Gunners The Stunners says:

    Pedro,

    There is a big difference between Le-Grove and other Arsenal blogs out there. I think over 90% of those blogs are revenue generating blogs who have links (sponsors) to other websites/businesses to run their blogs. Also, they are full time bloggers cos they don’t have to leave their PC & laptops to go to jobs.

    On the other hand you and Geoff have made this blog purely to talk about Arsenal and not to make money out of it which is itself very hard work taking into account you both work full time and still are able to write stuff 24/7/365 which is marvellous.

  270. Pedro says:

    Chippy, I read other sites and I’m not knocking any of them. Just to put Le Grove in the bottom three is a bit absurd.

  271. Pedro says:

    Gooby, most of the other blogs don’t like us.

  277. Johan says:

    Seems like Huntelaar really wants to get a loan deal, maybe he’ll lower his wage requirements to get teh chance to actually play…

    What kind of player is he? Fox in the box, Eddu kind?

  278. frichie79 says:

    Martin Angha has flown into London this week to begin his career with Arsenal. The Swiss centre back signed for the Gunners in the summer from FC Zürich but due to Premier Academy League rules he couldn’t feature for the Under 18’s until he turns 16 on Friday.

    Angha joins fellow Swiss centre-back Sead Hajrovic who also signed in the summer but from Grasshoppers. He was present for last night’s FA Youth Cup defeat against Ipswich Town as he makes the final checks on his new digs and school before celebrating his birthday and being available for selection for the remainder of the Academy League campaign.

    The prospect grew up supporting Arsenal in his native Switzerland and remained a life long Gooner despite joining FC Zürich as a 9-year-old. He rose through the ranks earning the captaincy at various youth levels but his big break came last season. He impressed during a trial with the club in 2007 but as captain of the Zürich side which beat FC Luzern in the Nike Cup final, many Premier League scouts moved to bring the defender to England. He rebuffed all offers to play against Arsenal in a trial game, where he scored a stunning free-kick but chose not to celebrate in respect for his dream side.

    Angha signed and made his debut at the Emirates Stadium against Chelsea’s Under 16’s in a 4-1 win. He watched on from the stands as the first-team beat Stoke City the next day and the deal was sealed after he was given a signed Johan Djourou shirt. The 6 foot 2 inch cultured centre half towers over many forwards and that combined with his excellent technical and goal scoring abilities, add up to an awesome prospect for the future.

    You can read more about Martin in his Young Guns Player Profile.

    Gunners thanks! I don’t read any of the other blogs as I have enough to do on this one, the blog that has lots of meaningless comments though I believe are software generated, why? a) because they make no sense, and b) because we have never, ever had one of them on here, it’s gibberish.

    They all have to answer to advertisers, we don’t.

    People comment on here firstly because it’s a community but mostly because I write incredibly great posts, full of insight and wit. Unless Pedro.

    In fact I’m thinking of re-branding it ‘Geoff’ what do you all think?

    Lacina Traore’s agent, “I have been in touch with one scout from Arsenal”
    Submitted by James on January 20, 2010 – 4:00 6 Comments.CFR Cluj striker Lacina Traore is in discussion with Arsenal, according to his agent, who confirmed that he spoke with a scout of the North London Club but a move during the January transfer window is out of question.

    Daniel Stanciu is quoted as saying by Sport.co.uk that due to work permit reasons, the Ivory Coast player will not move to London immediately but next summer, negotiations could resume.

    He said:

    I have been in touch with one scout from Arsenal. I can confirm that it is true that they are interested in Lacina, but they will not make an offer during the January transfer window for him.

    His work permit is an issue for England, and this is the reason Arsenal will not be pursuing him in January. But the summer is different. However in Italy this isn’t a problem.

    Geoff

    hahaha spot on, maybee it was for the cameroon performance lol, really hope tunisia beat them speaking of that

  294. Gunners The Stunners says:

    Arsène Wenger has been in an unusual position during this transfer window.

    Although he admits his side lack a striker, they are not in need of goals.

    Consistency has been the key. While Chelsea may have smashed seven past Sunderland at the weekend and Spurs thumped nine against Wigan late last year, the Emirates Stadium side have been top of the scoring charts ever since they hit Everton for six on the opening day of the campaign.

    Only Sunderland and Chelsea can truly claim to have shut-out a full-strength Arsenal this season. In the Premier League, Wenger’s men have 55 goals in 21 games via 16 different scorers.

    You can attribute well over half to central midfield (Cesc Fabregas 10, Abou Diaby 5, Aaron Ramsey 3, Denilson 3, Alex Song 1) and the centre backs (Thomas Vermaelen 4, William Gallas 3).

    Of course, this could be explained way with injuries – Robin Van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner and, to a lesser extent, Eduardo have all spent significant time on the treatment table. However Wenger feels there could be something more going on. The Frenchman suggests the relationship between the forward line and particularly the midfield may have changed in recent years.

    It is no wonder that UEFA’s technical report into last season’s Champions League had chapter called ‘The Disappearing Striker’. It seems the days are gone when a No 9 and No 10 speadheaded a static 4-4-2 and scored 50 per cent of their team’s goals.

    “It is a possible idea,” admitted Wenger. “But it depends on the personality and the quality of your midfielders. If you have many players who can score that is OK but overall I still believe that strikers are very, very important.

    “Still we used to say the midfielders are the guys who bring the strikers alive but what is happening now is the strikers are the guys who can bring your midfielders alive. They come to score from deeper positions and you can really do that with one-man up front.”

    Wenger admits that, to him, a striker’s assists tally is now as important as his goals ratio.

    “It is basically the efficiency of the team and the number of goals the team scores [that is important],” he said. “I believe if the whole side scores goals then, for me, the striker is good.

    “[For example] Robin Van Persie, when he played we always scored three or four goals. He didn’t score too many [himself] but he made a lot. Not only with passing, but with movement and the quality of that movement. Strikers open walls for the deeper players. That is a big part in the modern game.”

  295. Cescs_MyBoy says:

    Pedro – wasnt trying to throw anyone, just stating fact dear boy.

    Also

    Think Arsene, if meeting a player, could be meeting Sergio Canales.

    But I dont claim to have a man on the inside. Just a hunch.

  296. dennisdamenace says:

    Seriously, what is fucking wrong with Myles Palmer?? What posses the prick to believe that on a website titled Arsenal News Review the following story would be of any fucking interest to ANY Gooner???

    Roberto Mancini lucky to survive United blitz
    By Myles Palmer

    Manchester City 2 Man United 1
    Giggs 18, Tevez 42 (pen), Tevez 65

    Roberto Mancini was so lucky last night.

    He took off Tevez in 79 to bring on Benjani. And then in 84 he took off SWP to bring on old man Sylvinho.

    If the last 15 minutes were nerve-wracking for me, what were they like for City fans?

    He got away with it. He takes a one-goal lead to Old Trafford for the second leg.

    When Mancini and his assistant Brian Kidd look at the last 20 minutes of that DVD, including the five minutes of injury time, they’ll wonder how they got away with it.

    Bizarre team selection, really. He had two left backs on the flank against Valencia : Garrido and Zabaleta. But they gave the winger far too much space, Rooney stabbed his low cross against keeper Shay Given and the ball hit teenage centreback Boyata and broke for Ryan Giggs to tap in from one yard.

    1-0 to United.

    Tevez missed a diving header that was beyond belief, from a Shawn Wright-Phillips cross. A pointblank header, totally mistimed. Then Rafael tugged Bellamy’s arm just outside the box, Mike Dean gave a penalty, long delay, Van Der Sar rightly booked for gamesmanship, Tevez smashed it right down the middle. A fierce, emphatic hammerblow! Take that!

    Second half I was screaming : Take Zabaleta off, put Ireland on !

    Then a set-piece, Bellamy’s right wing corner, van Der Sar slapped it out, Zabaleta headed diagonally, the superb Kompany hooked the ball across into the goalmouth, and Tevez headed in from two yards with the six foot seven inch keeper standing still, not moving to catch or punch.

    Keepers lose their nerve when they don’t play for months. That was August goalkeeping in January. A shot by SWP might have squirted under VDS’s body but he saved well. Rooney, energetic throughout, dribbled vividly, stabbed his shot, Given tipped over.

    I was thinking : Push out, City! Defend from the front!

    Which City could have done, except that Shay Given doesn’t come for crosses. He’s a stay-at-home Serie A shotstopper. And by then Mancini had taken off his best two ball-holders, who are also his two most fiery pressers.

    An exciting, pulsating game. Goals, misses, tension, mistakes, pinball at times. Loved it, can’t wait for the second leg.

    This was Sir Alex’s 36th Manchester derby and he’s now lost seven.

    Seeing City’s cautious midfield, I was sure both sides would score. I backed over 2.5 goals and thought it was one of those rare games where the bookies are giving you money. But it still took me 65 minutes to be proved right. That was because Anderson was playing just behind Rooney. A goalscorer he ain’t. Anderson has scored one goal in 97 previous games for Manchester United.

    Second leg?

    If City defend zones, like they did last night, falling back deep into their own box, they’ll lose the second leg 6-0.

    ——

    P.S. Am I capable of writing anything before 11 a.m. that’s not full of mistakes and typos and missing words?

    Honest answer : no.

    what this fulhma defender all about. Never heard of him!!

  298. Johan says:

    Gunners The Stunners

    I think there is a point to that article, if you look at most of the Arsenal games where RVP played, he acted as a targetman most of the time, holding the ball up high on the pitch so that the midfield could either force their way towards the box or so that RVP could redistribute it to the sides to let him then regain the ball in a later situation, to strike himself.

    This particular situation is something that we have been lacking lately, to have that option of making the forward pass to a player that has that combination of physical and technical presence to hold the ball and redistibute it…

    And it’s exacly the thing we lacked against the Chavs, that and more physical presence on the midfield(Diaby).

    If Bendtner can provide even a little of this we’d be able to lift our game to the same level of August.

  299. Johan says:

    Maybe not the same level as with RVP ofc, but at least we’d be able to raise our game considerably.

  300. frichie79 says:

    Agree Johan, Arshavin just gets bulldozed by the centre half when he has his back to defenders, Bendy wont be as easy….I hope!!

  305. chris says:

    Thanks for the Wenger quote Stunners but where’s it from? And can’t find anything about an actual bid for Smalling on Newnow though, even just rehashing the SSN story.
    I read a lot of blogs, including ANR which I’m still sticking with despite the frequent ludicrousness.

    I agree with Pedro the football related chat here and the speed of response is pretty much the best.
    I think it might be good to back off the siege mentality thing a tiny bit though – I don’t think most internet fans care too much about the AKBs thing just is the blog interesting. I’m basically a big Wenger supporter and I don’t think the criticism is all that over the top (some posters maybe) – check back and I think you can find posts where Geoff calls him the best coach in the world.
    For me it’s the difference between accepting that Wenger knows football and his squad and how to win games and trophies better than any of us (which i think is obvious) and jumping from that to a conclusion that he can’t make mistakes and you shouldn’t criticise anything he does (which is your AKBs).
    Similarly when Geoff slaughters Song or Denilson or whoever, he normally says he thinks they may well work out long term (but he doesn’t think the team should lose points trying to get them there).
    There are some anti-Grovists on other blogs but they’re still reading it to know about it, i guess.

    Pedro, Sorry Mate just got back from a spot of lunch, Totally agree bottom 3 is bollocks and thats why i say dont take any notice of it im sure alot of the other sites are entwined with advertisers etc and will do better due to that and the fact yours and geoffs hasnt even got the word Arsenal in it probably goes against you as well :-)

    In my view this blogs head and shoulders above the others with the amount of differing views allowed on which leads to great debates and in the main done with a level of decency between bloggers.

    Yours and Geoffs write ups aint bad either ;-)
    Sometimes a little bit good cop bad cop but then again that shows your views differ which is a good thing :-)

We’ve only three fit ones’, he stops, brings them back then tells us they’re like new signings. It’s the only possible explanation.”

    That’s a good one!

  337. Duke says:

    “So……… I’ve got a confession……. I kidnapped a small girl and have been keeping her in the basement for my sexual pleasure”.

    “What!? ………. Are you fucking mad!??!”

    “She prefers Maddie”.

  338. Nick says:

    Duke so miserable out, everyone’s giving me the zig and im on the sort of diet that would make even kate moss complain of hunger and have another three hours of gym to look forwards to so fuck Friday I want/need a joke now ;)

  339. Nick

    David Beckham was asked about his latest transfer, he replied “its not a transfer, its a real tattoo.”

  342. Duke says:

    I always like to have a nice wank after dinner, it makes me more relaxed.

    It seems to always make the waiters more tense though.

  343. Duke says:

    Teacher to class: ”What does your Dad do at weekends?” Little Stevie replied ”He’s a dancer in a gay bar and if the money is right he lets punters bang his arse and cum in his gob.” The teacher takes little Stevie outside ”Is that true?” ”No Miss” little Stevie replies ”It’s bollocks. He plays for Liverpool, but I’m too embarrassed to say that!”

  344. Arse&Nose says:

    Chris smalling England u21 CB is in talks with Arsenal.

    This is why Wenger was absent at colney.

  345. A middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital. While on the operating table, she has a near death experience.

    During that experience, she sees God and asks if this is it. God says, “No,” and explains that she has another 30-40 years to live.

    Upon recovery, the woman decided to just stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, etc., She even had someone come in and change her hair color. She figured since she’s got another 30 or 40 years, she might as well make the most of it.

    The woman walked out of the hospital after the last operation and was killed by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital.

    She arrived in front of God and stated, “I thought you said I had another 30-40 years.”
    God replied, “I didn’t recognize you.”

    sabeel fella the oldies are the goodies :)

    DUKE :lol: liverpool :lol:

  347. Dutchman says:

    Smalling kept drogba out of the game for long time against chelsea.

  348. Duke says:

    Hope you are better now Nick ;)

  349. Nick says:

    getting smalling would be a good bit of business but what about striker and keeper or even getting gallas to re-sign

  350. Duke says:

    NEWS HEADLINE!

    Couple held after rape.

    Aww, they cuddled.

  351. Duke says:

    Nick, more Liverpool:

    ———————————-
    I tried drinking from a Liverpool FC mug yesterday, but it was impossible.

    It kept sliding down the table.

    I guess you heard all the Reading ones, won’t go through them again…

  352. Clacko the gooner says:

    Afternoon all, loving the jokes Duke and Sabeel. Especially the Liverpool one.

    Nick what diet are you on buddy, the celery and wheatgrass one haha.

  353. Bio teacher: Girls, the size of a penis should be 6 inches for successful penetration.
    Girl: Mam, how about 9 inches?

  355. Nick says:

    no dust and water mrs see it on a program about how to make Briton little or something ;)

  356. Arsenal Tom says:

    are we actually talking to him or fulham?

  357. A says:

    Arse&Nose where you hear that??

  358. Pedro says:

    A&N, good news!

  359. Duke says:

    bnsb, the reading jokes?

  360. Clacko the gooner says:

    Haha, i have heard that dust can taste nice if seasoned properly.

  361. Kreshnik says:

    sup groovers,

    pretty nervy day huh, i see everyone fighting everyone :)

    I’m chillaxed today though, as long as we play the exact team as last time … Fabski in net would be a plus, but big Al is starting to get some cojones so one would hope he’s not a complete lost cause.

    Pedro (and anyone else that can advice), I’m planning a trip to London to watch a game with me chica to watch a game at Emirates for the first time. Her cousin leaves there so that’s settled … but I don’t know which game would be the better option (the Porto game maybe), and need to know how easy/hard/expensive is to find tickets

  362. Nick/Duke

    if we have to service more than one day a week,we will extinct all the available jokes very soon

  363. Nick says:

    west ham have bid for beny mccathy does that mean cole will be on the move

  364. Nick says:

    sabeel fella good point

  365. bnsb says:

    Duke,
    Yep, Reading jokes, if you please

  366. Nick fella :)

    hope it is not snowing real hard,donna wanna play in tuf conditions like against everton fella

  367. Arsenal Tom says:

    nick… hopefully mate!!

    is he still crocked?

  368. Pedro says:

    If Arsenal signs Smalling, I’d say Wenger has done a great job during the window.

    A bit of experience, a bit of the future…

    Just what we need if Nik is back!

  369. Arsenal Tom says:

    no CF though pedro!?

  370. A says:

    a forward too Pedro!

    Smalling would be a bit of a weird one, maybe a deal would be done for him to arrive in the summer? or can he play in midfield as well as in defence??

  371. Gunnersmith says:

    Check out some interesting stat ahead of tonight encounter

    Arsenal have won the last six meetings with Bolton in all competitions.
    The Gunners have won seven and drawn four of the last 11 meetings with Bolton in all competitions on home soil.
    Kevin Davies has been booked against Arsenal more often than against any other club (9 times).
    Bolton have won only one of their last 20 Premier League away games in London.
    Tomas Rosicky has scored in each of his two Premier League appearances against Bolton.
    Arsenal have converted 20% of their shots into goals, making them the most clinical side in the Premier League.
    Ivan Klasnic has scored five goals in his last six Premier League matches.
    Arsenal have scored 31% of their goals from outside the box this season, a league high.
    65 per cent of Bolton’s goals have been netted using the left foot and just eight per cent via the right foot, league high and lows respectively.
    There have been just two goals scored in the opening 15 minutes of matches involving Arsenal this season, one for and one against, both league lows.

  372. Stu says:

    Surely if we sign Smalling then Senderos is definately gone. And we do need a defensive midfielder. I would rather a DM than Smalling in this window tbh.

  373. Nick says:

    cambell has never been sold always moved on a free he must be worth a fortune with the signing on bonuses and boosted wages the other end of the chart you have anelka who has been sold more times then i know what.

  374. Nick says:

    stu-dent where you been?

  375. Stu says:

    I’ve been here Nick…where have YOU been!

  376. Stu says:

    That is very annoying isnt it Nick. He always leaves on a free. But on the other hand noone has ever had to pay a transfer fee for him.

  377. Nick says:

    you aint been here ive been here youve been some where else :|

  378. Pedro says:

    A, Smalling would be a great signing. A prospect who doesn’t have to worry about England just yet and has all the ingredients to succeed Gallas.

    I’d like a forward, but the closer Nik gets to a return… the further away the striker dream goes…

  379. Duke says:

    Sabeel, yeah we probably will, that’s why I will recycle the Reading ones.

    —————————

    Liverpool Fans left confused by Reading.

    Oh and in other news, Liverpool lost to Reading 2-1 at home in the cup.

    —————————–

    Got a Liverpool Season ticket? Burn after Reading

    —————————–

    So, any Liverpool or Manchester United fans attending the Reading and Leeds Festival this year?

    ——————————

    We should have seen this coming..

    Scousers have always been useless when it comes to Reading..

    ——————————-

    The rest are basically in the same category, enjoy those :D

  380. Duke

    u have a library on scousers jokes seriousl :D

  381. frichie79 says:

    I was ‘slightly’ impressed by that Klasnic bloke, had a decent touch and looked quite strong on the ball

  382. A says:

    Yeah I’m not against Smalling at all Pedro, nor saying I don’t rate him. I like the look of him, though not seen anywhere near enough to have any real opinion on him. Just weird timing, Wenger always goes on about our needing 4 centre backs, and Campbell coming in means we have four so Senderos can leave. Weird Smalling coming in after that, when it means we’ll have 5, and he won’t even make the bench. Maybe sign him and loan him back to Fulham, or someone else.

    I disagree about Bendtner meaning that we’re less likely, interviewers and the press keep trying to put those words in his mouth, and Wenger has said every time that Bendtner’s return certainly doesn’t mean noone is coming in, and Bendtner would play with a new signing. I’d still be very surprised if a forward doesn’t come in, even if Bendtner scores against Stoke as a sub, then hattricks in starts against Villa and Utd!

  383. patthegooner says:

    Cant say I have ever paid much attention to Smalling playing, so I won’t profess to being an expert on how good he is.

    If it happens, then I have no complaints and will go with Wenger on this one. I will watch the headlines in the coming days to see where it goes. SSN have become pretty unreliable recently with their SSN understands rubbish. They said we were signing Matuidi last August and that Flamini was going to City yesterday.

    6ft 4 too, just what we need.

  384. Duke says:

    hahah Sabeel, shame they don’t have a library period.

    AND YOU’LL NEEEEEVER GEEEEEEET AAA JOOOOOOOB, NEEEEVER GEEEET AAAAAAAA JOOOOOOOOB.

  385. frichie79 says:

    I reckon Silvestre will go at the end of the Season, no point having to golden oldies in the squad, with Senderos going that would leave

    Gallas
    Verm
    Djourou (crock)
    Sol
    Smalling

  386. Good point Pat,was wondering the same myself

  387. dennisdamenace says:

    Sol Campbell Suing Portsmouth for £2m………WTF???

  388. A says:

    Sol will go at the end of the season too frichie! Would make sense for the future, but just weird timing just after we signed sol.

    Gallas and Vermy with JD and Smalling fighting to be Gallas’ replacement alongside Vermy, sounds fine to me!

  389. Pedro says:

    Talk about kick a club when you’re down…

    It’d be like suing the Haitian Government now!

  390. dennisdamenace says:

    Is this Fulham player likely to be signed??

    Is he gonna go straight into the first team??

    If not, why? Do we not have enough fecking kids??

  391. DDM

    we all know portsmouth are just starting point of list of clubs going to start facing the backlash of using money they dont have..

  392. A says:

    Yeah I was thinking that Pedro! Not particularly good timing of Sol, like he’s trying to just put the nail in the club’s coffin.

    Though maybe it’s because it’s the previous owners who owe him the money, so if he doesn’t do it now he wouldn’t get it?

  393. A says:

    DDM noone we sign is going to go straight into the first team, our first team is awesome, it’s the back up that’s lacking.

  394. dennisdamenace says:

    Jesus, isn’t SC worth enough already? What would an extra £2m make to Sol’s life?? Fucking hell, once a money grabbing Spud always a money grabbing Spud….

  395. Gooby says:

    senderos out/ smalling in ?? is smalling good? can’t remember seing him play

  396. bnsb says:

    Is he gonna go straight into the first team??

    No, he will have to undergo indoctrination first, then sing or dance or make a speech whatever over dinner, and then may be.

  397. Duke says:

    Sabeel, you have what?

  398. Stu says:

    Like Campbell doesnt have enough money after all the signing on fees he has gotten over the years.

    Silvestre, Sol, Senderos and Gallas all have their contracts finishing at the end of the season. Senderos will probably go now but even after that we can only be sure that Vermaelen and JD will start next season.

    I hope Smalling is better than i think. Have never seen him play but FUlham signed him from a non league club (Maidstone i think) so i wont expect much from him. Wierd signing if i ever saw one.

  399. Simon says:

    he ruined a solid debut against chelsea by scoring their winner

  400. A says:

    It’s already Sol in/Senderos out.

    Smalling would just be another backup, and I guess future replacement for Gallas.

  401. dennisdamenace says:

    A – What like Vermaelen, Nasri, Arshavin you mean…..

    If the manager spent as much time trying to reinforce the first eleven as he does spending millions on the ‘kids’ we would be x amount points clear right now AND have as powerful a squad as the Chavs….

  402. Pedro says:

    DDM, he’s 20, 6ft 4in and English!

    Perfect age to blood him! He wont moan about first team chances and he’ll get plenty of games because Gallas wont last forever.

  403. A says:

    Stu that’s what makes me optimistic about him.

    At the age of 20 I’d expect a player to be playing pretty regularly at a team like Fulham if he’d come through Premiership ranks, but the fact he came from there is reassuring as he might have amazing natural ability but a late developer because he didn’t come through an academy.

  404. Clacko the gooner says:

    Will signing Smalling not “kill” Nordveit?

  405. Odub says:

    Just been told we might be in for some defender from Fulham, and it’s not Hangeland. Any info guys?

  406. A says:

    ddm we aren’t going to sign a defender to come straight into the first team when our first choice pairing is there.

    Arshavin was brought in to replace rosicky.

    Nasri was brought in to replace Hleb.

    Vermy was brought in to replace Kolo.

    Neither Gallas nor Vermy have gone, so noone is going to come into the first team in defence!

    Nor any other position, because we havn’t sold anyone, apart from VP being injured, so a forward we signed would start games.

  407. dennisdamenace says:

    SSN are reporting that the Twat from Togo (who’s on compassionate leave!) is expected back at Citeh in the next few days, and maybe available for the second leg of the CC match!!

    WTF, now i understand the reasons for Togo’s withdrawal from The ACN, but should he be eligible to play for his club?

  408. Stu says:

    However good Smalling is I just find it odd that we are signing a defender who just made his league debut for his club.

    And what does his arrival mean for JD. Djourou has never been a regular for us and i always thought he was our young back up defender. Surely with Sol being the experienced back up now Smalling has arrived he will be the young back up.

    Does this mean that JD is leaving in the summer (especially after missing th whole season through injury).

  409. Pedro says:

    Odub, Smalling. Centre back, English, 6ft4, very classy apparently.

  410. patthegooner says:

    I guess it depends on how far away Bartley and Nordveitt are DDM, but I know what you mean,

    I am not against this if it happens though.

    It could even be that Gallas, Sol and Silvestre are all off in the Summer.

    it would be nice to see some balance with some more experienced signings too. I wonder if the West Ham chasing of Benny Mcarthy is because Cole is coming to us.

  411. Stu says:

    Forgot about Nordveit actually. Signing a young defender really buts his and other reserve defenders future in doubt imo.

  412. Duke

    No no ..a typo mistake

  413. frichie79 says:

    Smalling is still 2 years away from the first team…No doubt!

    But there has been a big U turn in Wengers policy, maybe listening to Jamie Oliver “Buy British”

  414. Odub says:

    Cheers Pedro,

    Never heard of him, but young English, 6ft 4!!

    Intresting….

    Do however hope we’re still in the market for a striker, any news on that front?

  415. Odub says:

    DDM,

    Alright mate, are you at the game tonight?

  416. charybdis1966 says:

    Hi all, off to the Grove soon so look forward to seeing whichever of you guys are going to the Tavern.
    come on you gooners, let’s give the Bolton cloggers a little push closer to the Championship and then look down on the Chavs and Manks from the top of the League!

  417. Odub says:

    Hat trick!

  418. charybdis1966 says:

    Noooo Odub.

  419. Odub says:

    Chary,

    You ruined my hatrick!! I shall be taking this up with you when we get to the tavern later on pal! ;)

  420. Clacko the gooner says:

    I like this smalling guy, have seen him play a few times in the Europa league and did very well against Roma. Also English so can’t complain.

  421. Pedro says:

    Odub, I don’t reckon we’re in for one… A thinks we are in for one.

    I think Bendtner is our new signing!

  422. The thing i remember abt smalling is He Played very well against Drogba…not many can boast abt that…

  423. Duke says:

    Can someone be a darling and tell me the date we last were top of the league?

  424. frichie79 says:

    Bendtner will be like a new signing….i just hope its not similar to our other regular ‘new signing!’

    Rosicky.

    I swear if he played the majority of games for us we would have a full trophy cabinet. Even the games when he makes his comeback for 20 minutes, its immediately noticable how much he adds to the team.

    Come on the Arsenal!

  425. Nick says:

    20th jan 2010 :)

  426. Odub says:

    Have to agree with you there Pedro.

    The only rumour I heard is that Canales’ dad visited our training ground.

    The Carlton Cole rumours have cooled as well.

  427. Odub says:

    Duke,

    August 2009

  428. charybdis1966 says:

    LOL Odub – I’m always the spoiler, but a brace is not bad either.
    I’ll be having some “non-alcoholic” peronis later as my boys are going tonight also.

  429. Nick says:

    rosicky does add a lot to us quality quality player but always injured hopefully his over that now

  430. Duke says:

    frichie, I agree fully re: Rosicky. But the people tell me he is a voyager and does nothing. Every time I see him play, he does so much for the team. But the person sitting next to me, or the guys in the pub would say he has done nothing and is bellow average.
    Glad someone is on my page.

  431. nishanth says:

    Young guns are reporting that we might loan smalling back to fulham(If we end up signing him).Looking at the defensive options we have that might not be a great idea

  432. Nick says:

    he does the dirty work as well and is afraid of noone combined with his footballing brain and skill if not for injury he would have been a true great in the game… still bit of time left

  433. Nick says:

    everybody will be in for a cb in the summer so to tie this fella up now makes a lot of sense imo

  434. Shaun says:

    Perhaps that should be the mancs and the chancs!

    Come on the Arsenal, a 3-0 win tonight would do me well. Hell, any old win would be great. As long as we win.

  435. frichie79 says:

    Someone posted a video of Rosicky Slide tackle master!

    In case you didnt see it. Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y

  436. A says:

    Stu I think of the Smalling signing (if true) in a similar way to the Ramsey signing. Barely played for the first team but talent there so can come straight into first team squad. Wouldn’t say it means JD going at all. Next season with JD AND Smalling we’d only have 4 centre backs, which is the minimum really.

    Not sure where Nordveit fits in, possibly as a sub DM as that’s where he’s been playing in Germany. Or even a loan to someone who’ll play him centre back, maybe a loan to a premiership side.

    Bartley isn’t close to the first team squad yet, at the end of next season if he goes on loan maybe he’ll make the step up in the summer, and Gallas will be at the end of the road by then.

  437. A says:

    Odub Canales isn’t a forward anyways, he’s a midfielder

  438. Duke says:

    Nick and Odub, jokes :D Don’t go into a joke war with me.
    Seriously though, I want to know…

  439. Nick says:

    chucking him self about like that no wonder his always injured :)

  440. frichie79 says:

    Canales, may just lessen the blow if Merida does leave!

  441. A says:

    Yeah Pedro, I’m convinced we’re in for one. It wouldn’t make any sense otherwise.

    Wenger has alot of opportunities to say if Bendtner is back then we’re ok, or that Arshavin has done well there, but despite the press efforts to get him to say those things, he disputes them every time saying that Arshavin isn’t a centre forward and only there as an emergency measure, and Bendtner isn’t necessarily the central man, can play with the central man etc

  442. frichie79 says:

    My thoughts exactly Nick

  443. Pedro says:

    No idea Duke, normally at the start of the season because of alphabetical priority.

  444. A says:

    Yeah frichie, that’s what I was thinking, although Wenger said that we’re not in for him so just sounds like rumours to me.

  445. Nick says:

    pedro odub done that one you dipper

  446. Pedro says:

    A, I like your positivity.

    I’m not sure I share it though…

    I will be thrilled if we sign someone, but I wont be too worried if we don’t.

    A young upstart to cover Willy G and Vermaelen would do me.

  447. Pedro says:

    Nick, Odub bindipped it from my mind…

  448. Duke says:

    Pedro, stop bindipping jokes, Odub already did that one. I want to actually know when we were top of the League during a competitive season. Must have been the season before Flamini left us, the season Eddie got injured…

  449. Nick says:

    owwwwwww the jedi mind trick, odub one gunobe

  450. dennisdamenace says:

    A – ‘was’ , ‘was’ , ‘was’…….opinion or FACT???

  451. Odub says:

    Jeez Pedro,

    It wasnt even a good joke, and you still bindipped it!!
    Shocking behaviour mate!

  452. A says:

    Which post ddm?

    Talking about the replacements I’d say that it’s fact!

  453. nishanth says:

    We were top after 5 games last season.We were top after 28 games the season before that

  454. Duke says:

    Odub Says:
    January 20, 2010 at 15:40

    Jeez Pedro,

    It wasnt even a good joke, and you still bindipped it!!
    Shocking behaviour mate!

    HAHAH, you redeemed yourself with that after the horrible joke mate :D

  455. Duke says:

    nishanth, cheers ;)

  456. dennisdamenace says:

    Hey Odub, how are you doing fella?

    Yep, i shall be braving the cold tonight, you?

  457. Johan says:

    Stu

    Some players simply slip through the system. Look at the fullback Cissokho who plays in Lyon, a year and a half ago noone knew at all who he was and he played for a 4-5th division club in France, the problem was that noone had spotted him. When he was spotted by the Portugese he was an instant success, and BOOM for this season he was signed by one of the biggest clubs in France, and to this I have to add that the curbing for youth in France is at least on par with the English one.

    so Smalling might be just the same case.

    DDM

    This guy is 20, he’d be the backup this season that neither Senderos nor Silvetre can be, and with Sol by his side to teach him a thing or two he’ll soon be the natural pair with VT.

  458. Arse&Nose says:

    Smalling has experience.He has been a regular in Fulhams UEFA cup team.

    He is an England u21 international.

    He kept Drogba quiet vs Chelsea.

    He was man of the match vs swindon in the FA cup.

  459. Pedro says:

    Odub, try this one for size:

    I cant wait for this weekend, my mate has just invited me to a charity do for women with no legs.

    The dance floor will be crawling with fanny.

  460. Sorry you got that wrong, Man.c now have 5 X- Arsenal players in thier squad. Only need 6 more for a full team lol

  461. Odub says:

    DDM,

    Not bad mate.

    I’ll be in attendance, will be in the tavern from around 5.45 if you’re about.

  462. Odub says:

    Pedro….

    Buddy, we’ve had this chat before, you are to jokes what Vanilla Ice is to rap music…. Let it go mate.

  463. bnsb says:

    Despite the debts, the club turned a profit of £6.4m for the year – a marked improvement on the £47m loss reported at the end of the 2007/08 season.
    The accounts also show that player sales brought in a profit of £80.7m – the price paid by Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.

  464. Johan says:

    But anyway, I’m not going to get carried away as I’m pretty sure Roy Hodson won’t be likely to part with Smalling.

  465. bnsb says:

    Obviously they did the jugglery with 500 million bond issue in mind

  466. dennisdamenace says:

    Have you seen the constant coverage of the Bindippers game against the Bagel Eaters tonight by those SSN Cunts??

    Anyone would think one of those two wank teams were playing to be top of the division tonight, wankers!

  467. Pedro says:

    Odub, don’t pretend you dindn’t like that little gem!

    Smalling has 18 months left on his contract, I think Fulham would do well to release him and get some cash for him.

  468. nishanth says:

    If smalling is able to fit in straight away geoff’s dream of having vermaelen as DM might just come true

  469. Pedro says:

    Is our game on TV tonight?

  470. dennisdamenace says:

    I think my thirteen year old cousin’s son told me that joke about a year ago Pedro, you really have no shame!

  471. Pedro says:

    lol @ DDM

    So… what we got the result down as tonight?

  472. Clacko the gooner says:

    Pedro no mate it isn’t they have the bindipers against the spuds tonight. Or England against Blackburn on BBC i think??

  473. Johan says:

    Pedro

    Maybe, I think the best bet we have is to buy him, and keep him in fulham on loan until the end of the season, with the possibility to take him in during the season in case of a big injury on one of our CBs.

  474. Keyser says:

    Who’s our ref tonight ? The last two games have been shocking, though Dowd was pretty decent against Villa.

  475. Pedro says:

    Clacko, that’s a pain… I hate watching the gooners on a feed…

  476. Pedro says:

    Johan, they always pull the loan deal thing… I really can’t see us allowing that to happen.

    If we signed him, he’d be there for cover.

  477. Pedro says:

    Debts at the parent company of Manchester United have increased to £716.5m ($1.17bn), according to its latest accounts.

  478. Stu says:

    I need some advice.

    I have SS1 (pool vs spuds) but obviously we arent on tv so i have to watch on a stream.

    My best mate is a liverpool fan and wants to watch their match at mine.

    SHould i let him watch here (keeping in mind that when he watches them play at my place they usuall get a bad result) or should i tell him to fuck off because if i have to watch on a shit stream then so should he?

  479. frichie79 says:

    The first game I got to watch in HD was…The Manc Derby :( …cos it was on BBC HD. Thats pretty much the only reason I watched the game!

    Since I watch almost all the games streaming, felt like I was at the game.

    I once got a feed on Veetle, that was the best quality ive ever seen online, might as well have been coming direct from Sky.

  480. Stu says:

    If Smalling signs but stays at Fulham on loan our defensive cover would be Campbell and SIlvestre (neither of whom i have any faith in).

    But if he signs and comes straight to us he would be a bench warmer at best and wouldnt develope much, if at all.

    Its a difficult one alright.

  481. SUGA3 says:

    Stu,

    option one for me – never enough of Schadenfreude, fella! :lol:

  482. Keyser says:

    Stu – Are you two going out ? My girlfriend doesn’t make contemplate things that much.

  483. Stu says:

    No Keyser, but if we were on tv and he had the channel and i didnt then i would want to watch the match in his house…good one though.

  484. dennisdamenace says:

    Pedro – We have enough talent to beat most EPL teams, but, as always, it’s really down to the person in charge and the team/formation he picks.

    We should beat this rubbish comfortably, but i’ll reserve my forecast until i’ve seen the team sheet….

  485. dennisdamenace says:

    Hey Pedders, i almost forgot to mention this.

    Franchise was supposed to go to the game tonight, but got himself double booked with a bit o’ skirt, so he decided to give the game a miss, and give me the ticket back!!!!! Shocking i hear you cry!!!! Well i got a text from the fella this morning saying the wench had blown him out for tonight :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Bostonian,

    8pm I think.

  518. frichie79 says:

    Why are those games Tough

    Villa, we can take them!

    Man U, historically strong, but judging last nights performance they Muck! Watching Carrick, Fletcher and Anderson (even Valencia) I wouldnt want them in our team! They might have a few players back in defence but i think we will do them nicely.

    Pool, as above comments have said…Useless, they may have 1 of their saviours back but I think Arsh will get a hat trick.

    Chavs – Now thats the tough game, but i think with us flying high after the last 3 games we can go there and nick a winning goal.

    I AM EXCITED!

  519. Franchise says:

    yeah ethan a date booked a week ago cancelled on me this morning. Apparently her flat mate’s friend died in an accident last night. hmmmmmm

    DDM great news ive got another ticket. Meeting the guys at the Tavern you can join us u old dirt bag.

    Nick i was already looking on the bright side until Pedro/Geoff sorted me out

    I AM EXCITED!

    Denilson will replace Eastmond and Walcott on the bench

  522. SUGA3 says:

    frichie,

    I admire your optimism, but Villa away is a different proposition from the home game, ManYoo are strong enough to nick it and Chavs spanked us at THOF…

    Pool w/o Torres on the other hand…

    boom

  529. ethangunner says:

    bergy ,

    if we fail to win the title .. its because our goal keeper blows goats ..and with no proper DM
    most good teams would have a field day V’s coco

  530. bergy says:

    ethean thats the whole point of strenghing ones team

    geesh Wener should go work at portmouth there really no money there

  533. dennisdamenace says:

    Franchise – I think you’ve got some nerve showing your ace on here tonight, considering you chose a boiler over the Mighty Goons…….shocking, truly shocking!

  534. bergy says:

    really pisses me off saying injured players are like new signing,what a rubbish statement

    we finaly have a chance to win something and this is how he handles it

    eastmond against chelsea already giving me nightmares

  535. bergy says:

    choy mayube he wants to come to Arsenal :)

  536. Pedro says:

    Fran, even if it’s not true… that is some excuse!

  537. ethangunner says:

    i know bergy …
    im not happy either ..

    we only look good currently because cesc is on form and we have played against more than average opposition ..

    i almost know again we are getting set up for the fall again !

    and i just wished wenger prevented the inevitable

  538. Franchise says:

    DDM the Arsenal gods were just trying to teach me a thing or two about that

    i believe ive been forgiven

  539. ethangunner says:

    gotta give her props for that whopper if its not true fran …

    there should be some sort of BRUSH OFF award …
    because that right there would win it :)

  540. bergy says:

    its amazing ethan how every fan can see it..but the club cant

    if cesc was off form we would have serious problems we dont seem to ave a striker capeable of htting the back of the net

  541. goonermichael says:

    what time are you going to the tavern Franchise. Are you ok with me coming?

  542. Pedro says:

    GM, Geoff will be there and Chary.

  543. Franchise says:

    I wonder how many out there in the interweb reading this are schauden freuding at my demise

  544. ethangunner says:

    i tell you what if cesc keeps this sort of level up .. he will be the captain i thought he couldnt be ..

    i just hope he doesn’t just look good because we are playing against crap , i hope he can do the same V’s the chev’s ….

    his last few games are performances worthy of the title captain !

  545. Pedro says:

    Fran, there will be plenty more Bosnians out there without boiler issues ;-)

  546. Franchise says:

    GM what a question? 8O

    definitely

    Ill be the only handsome chap within 100feet. Cant be hard to spot

  547. Pedro says:

    Maybe Dzeko has a hot sister?

  548. Franchise says:

    Pedro the Bosninan is ok, it was the Anglo-Saxon. Dont you dare judge me :D

  549. goonermichael says:

    Ethan all i need to cheer me up is a 12 midnight deadline loan move for Adebayor 8)

  556. 78692 says:

    Already an England Under 21 international, Chris(Smalling) has previously played alongside Kieran Gibbs for his country and he boasts some Europa League experience having featured briefly this term. Arsenal have been keeping tabs on the youngsters development for a number of months but a move will come as a surprise especially after the recent acquisition of Sol Campbell.

    since TH14 , ade was just a fraud ..

  558. ethangunner says:

    TH14 was the best striker in the world ,
    was it such a hard concept to understand that whilst he was on fire and we owned him ..

    we won things ..

  565. dennisdamenace says:

    Does anyone else think that if AW brings Denilson back into the starting lineup that we will struggle tonight?

  566. Franchise

    u do “THAT” business.. poor u..

  567. SUGA3 says:

    ddm,

    I do…

    but who do we play instead?

  568. Stu says:

    Just leave Denilson out of the team and let Eastmond keep his place…or draft in Coquelin.

  569. SUGA3 says:

    Stu,

    not going to happen as long as Denilson has 2 legs…

  570. goonermichael says:

    or as long as there’s a hole in my arse as my dad used to say

  571. choy says:

    :lol:

    I think eastmond should play an hour, denilson’s just come back from an injury so he can play 30 mins.. same for theo..

    Will rosicky play?

  572. BigRaddy says:

    May I respectfully disagree Stu.

    For all his faults Denilson is not only more experienced than Eastmond, he is a better DM and can score. I thought Eastmond looked out of his depth but would play him at Stoke, alongside The Brazilian

  573. Jaguar says:

    Make or break month for our season.

  574. SUGA3 says:

    BR,

    I reckon Denilson has his shortcomings (presence) and is not enough of a defensive player to cut it without nurse Alex alongside him…

  575. BigRaddy says:

    Choy.

    I would do it the other way round and give Denilson an hour.
    I hope TR plays, I think he adds so much to the team

  576. SUGA3 says:

    wasn’t TR used in a bit deeper role for Czech national team?

  577. BigRaddy says:

    I agree Suga, I was comparing him to Eastmond. If I had my way we would have signed another DM during the summer.

    But Denilson’s days are numbered as Ramsey grows into the team. He is the future

  578. alex says:

    Line-up:

    ALmunia
    Sagna Gallas Verm Clichy
    Fabregas Denilson Diaby
    Rosicky Eduardo Arshavin

  579. nishanth says:

    Expected lineup..Is walcott there on the bench?

  580. SUGA3 says:

    I think Ramsey is more of an attacking player, a Cesc or Stevie Me type ;)

    then again, I always perceived Denilson as another Cesc type player as well…

  581. SUGA3 says:

    Alan fucking Wiley officiating…

    BBC said yetsreday it would be Clattenburg – WTF?

  582. BigRaddy says:

    Another Blind ref. We need someone with some balls.

  583. Stu says:

    Which one is Alan Wiley again? Which match was he in charge for involving us?

  584. nishanth says:

    Doesn’t make much of a difference.Wasn’t clattenburg the official when we played city

  585. Stu says:

    Ramsey will/should/could eventually take Denilsons place. Denilson doesnt play DM when Song is fit so a midfield trio of Cesc, Song and Ramsey isnt unlikely. But Diaby will probably start if fit so this is just a moot point..

  586. alex says:

    Subs: Fabianski, Silvestre, Traore, Eastmond, JET, Walcott, Vela.

  587. Stu says:

    Clattenberg was the 4th official at the weekend against Bolton so he would have seen all their fouling..

  588. Stu says:

    2left footed defenders and a defender turned midfielder on the bench. A bit unbalanced imo.

  589. Jaguar says:

    Diaby is a definite starter.

  590. Jaguar says:

    Who are the two left footed defenders,Stu?

    Make or break month for our season.

  591. SUGA3 says:

    Clattenburg was the ref in the last NLD – no complaints there…

    he’s a bit of a homer, ain’t he?

    Stu,

    Wiley is the one Alchy accused of not being fit enough…

  594. ikon says:

    Frankly, I would not care if we dont buy, iff Wenger has mastered the art of infusing the squad with reinforcements from the treatment table at the right points in the season.

    Imagine Song, Walcott, Rosicky, Diaby, Eboue all back before the run of 4 games starting with Villa.

    On second thought, a decent center forward would be just the kind of push and intimidation that would lead us where we wanna be.

    Now I hope Wenger goes out and buys the center forward.

  595. SUGA3 says:

    taig,

    ‘cuz he is ‘intelligent, and has great game reading ability’…

  596. choy says:

    Yep Rosicky plays in CM for his country.

  597. SUGA3 says:

    they say hope dies the last – ‘new signing’ comment was the last nail in its coffin ;)

  598. Jaguar says:

    TAIG,if you missed some thing

    ‘Because,he has the desire,hunger and the passion to succeed’. ;)

  599. Keyser says:

    Suga3 – Clattenburg’s the ref ? Dude, Bentley should have been sent off within 10 minutes.

    He’s also allowed Adebayor to stamp on Van Persie’s face and Jiminez to try and decapitate Diaby against West Ham in the cup.

  600. SUGA3 says:

    Keyser,

    fair enough, forgot about that, but he played a few good advantages back then…

    better him than Wiley IMO…

  601. izham says:

    any good links guys??

  602. maurya says:

    Great line up. That is the best line up from the available players.

  603. Tariq says:

    Official site says Wiley is the ref. fuck it. COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  604. Keyser says:

    Wiley’s a bit of a gimp aswell, but then I don’t really like any referee’s.

  605. andyc says:

    any good links yet guys

  606. Stu says:

    Me neither Keyser. They are all shite..some more shite than others but there isnt really any ref that i would want to officiate our matches..they all let the oppo kick us.

  607. Bostonian says:

    Denilson will get a goal..

    remember he scores everytime he comes back from injury

  608. Pedro says:

    Feeds will be welcome with open arms!

  609. Ahh, Denilson starting again, hopefully a good performance from him & Almunia.

  610. incesc says:

  653. stonroy says:

    Hey All, glad to see we don’t have Clattenburg who it was supposed to be. I’m happier with Wiley.

    gooby can u post the link??

  655. maurya says:

    P2P apps are prohibited to install on office laptop. Any other normal links.

  657. Gooby says:

    good shot arsha

  658. Tariq says:

    AHH FUCK!!!

  659. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    fucking shit defending

  660. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    bolton playing footy. We are a bit static

  661. Tariq says:

    COME ON GUYS!!!!! SHIT!!

  662. izham says:

    wtf……

  663. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    you could see it coming. Phuck it!!!!

  664. Paulinho says:

    Fucking dopey cunts. Why the hell were we playing so deep?

  665. Gooby says:

    fuuuuuccckkkkkkkk

  666. SUGA3 says:

    oh for fuck’s sake…

  667. Samir says:

    Great start!

  668. izham says:

    kindly describe what happened guys..

  669. Gooby says:

    vermaelen fault

  670. colonel mustard says:

    retarded…

  671. izzo says:

    Almunia is sleeping again.

  672. Dutchman says:

    almunia??? Why don’t you dive??

  673. Truth says:

    That was comical defending! Wake up Arsenal

  674. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    clichy and vermaelen couldn’t deal with an aerial ball giving bolton two opportunities to find davies and they found him the second time. Pretty good finish.

  675. Dutchman says:

    arshavin is so fucking bad with his passes.

  676. Pedro says:

    Guys, don’t blame Al for that… no chance.

  677. reggie 57 says:

    Same old,same old story!!

  678. Gooby says:

    almunia stupid, clichy poor clearence, vermy poor header

  679. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    izham Bolton have scored. Arsenal are playing like prats.

  680. Paulinho says:

    LOL at people blaming Alumunia.

    It was Diaby and Clichy’s fault.

  681. paul says:

    Not Almunias fault

  682. SUGA3 says:

    Pedro,

    yes, no chance, but no attempt either…

  683. hitman says:

    Clichy carrying on where he left off!
    Our full backs are atrocious. Cant defend cant cross.

  684. Pat says:

    Was it a header? What was Cahill doing up there in the first place. Why do we always make it so fucking hard on ourselves. Out big shot players never prepare well for these shit clubs

  685. Dutchman says:

    arshavin is comical!!!

  686. Tariq says:

    We should have equalized there!

  687. colonel mustard says:

    ahhh Cesc…

  688. alex says:

    ohhh fabbb!!

    super pass from tomas

  689. SUGA3 says:

    fuck, unlucky…

  690. Pat says:

    Sagna can defend. Clichy has fucking lost it. WHo would want to buy him now?

    I don’t understand how a player can become such shit after being the best LB in the league in 07/08

  691. nishanth says:

    Come on Arsenal!!!!..This is our chance to go top

  692. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Bolton still playing footy, this is not good :(

  693. choy says:

    geez… relax

  694. Tariq says:

    Great play by diaby…close by eduardo.

  695. alex says:

    ohhh eddy!!

  696. SUGA3 says:

    bunch of fucking bottlers – too scared to go top…

  697. Dutchman says:

    arshavin is so bad!!!

  698. Gooby says:

    sagna don’t cross please

  699. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    nice ball from diaby

  700. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Nice stuff D-Train to Eddie

  701. Dutchman says:

    what a chances!!!

  702. Gooby says:

    diaby is a beast really working his arse

  703. MoW says:

    what link is working?

  704. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    http://iraqgoals.net/ch1.html

    very nice link

  705. SUGA3 says:

    there you go – 10 men behind the ball and we don’t have a battering ram to squeeze through…

  706. SUGA3 says:

    fuck you Wiley you wanker…

  707. Gooby says:

    got their goal and now sitting back, i hate those teams

  708. Samir says:

    All wenger’s fault….
    Why the fuck start Denilson?

  709. alex says:

    arsshh shuda done better!

  710. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Its coming, its coming

  711. tonyadamsisgod says:

    You gotta laugh at Kevin Davies…..imagine being so bad that you have to deck people to get anywhere on the pitch!!

  712. Gooby says:

    hell arshavin, should get a powerfull shot

  713. alex says:

    another class pass from rosicky

  714. Pat says:

    Our corners fucking suck without RVP

  715. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Why the fuck are we so bad at corners???? Cesc is one of the best players in the world yet so, so many of his corners dont clear the first defender!! Nasri does it. Merida does it. Even RvP does it sometimes!!

  716. Gooby says:

    diaby is pretty much playing in every position on the field

  717. ManGoonian says:

    Who would want to buy Clichy now Pat???

    You chat some bollocks, you really do…

  718. David says:

    How useless is Denilson ffs

  719. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    shit!!

  720. rayman says:

    sorry diaby is fucking awful at dm, no clue how to tackle, dwelling on the ball in our D, a disaster waiting to happen at all times that was fucking terrible

  721. choy says:

    what happ?

  722. Tariq says:

    Why can’t Almunia make more big saves like that??

  723. Gooby says:

    shite ref that was not a foul

  724. freduardo says:

    come back traore all is forgiven

  725. Samir says:

    With this team out we have no chance of winning by 2 clear goals….

  726. Pat says:

    MG, he’s been making mistakes since Brum.

    Daft tackle from DIaby

  727. SUGA3 says:

    good save Coco…

  728. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    good save no doubt

  729. maurya says:

    No drive and ambition to go top.

  730. Bostonian says:

    dopey

  731. freduardo says:

    clichys passin is horrible

  732. hitman says:

    Clichy isnt the same player since the nightmare at B’ham which cost us the league in 2008. Too many costly mistakes since.
    I’d sell him and Denilson in the summer. Use cash to buy real quality defensive midfield.

  733. Rob says:

    Links are dead!!!

    Any others guys???

  734. Gooby says:

    yeah nice ref!!! what a wanker

  735. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    the only link working for me atm

  736. alex says:

    fuk off linesman!

  737. Tariq says:

    Good lawd! Get it together! Jesus!

  738. Bostonian says:

    2-1

    an equalizer in 45th minute and a late winner..

  739. Gooby says:

    go on myp2p the showsports link rob

  740. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME FUCCCKK

  741. tonyadamsisgod says:

    This really was the wrong game to play Denilson in. If Eastmond did so well away to Bolton then let him play at home against them too!! And as I fucking speak………………………….YOU CUNT DENILSON!!

  742. Pedro says:

    Fucking muppet…

  743. Tariq says:

    thanks Den den!

  744. izzo says:

    how can denilson play DM when he can’t tackle he should’ve left eastmond in the team to start

  745. Ooby says:

    what a cunt

  746. Samir says:

    Fuk that I’m not watching that!

  747. Pat says:

    fuck this shit

  748. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Denilson looks lost out there. Totally lost :(

  749. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    WE FUCKED UP

    munia went the right way so shouldve saved it

  750. freduardo says:

    this is awful

  751. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Blame Wenger for picking Denilson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  752. Tariq says:

    HA! Nearly nearly nearly….FFFFUUUCCCKKKK!!!!!

  753. David says:

    WHAT THE FUCK

  754. Pat says:

    so close ALmunia. He’d good at penalties.

  755. alex says:

    fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk n ooooooooooooooooooo

  756. SUGA3 says:

    fuck off you twat…

  757. HIMPRESSIVE says:

    Bolton penalty! 0-2 :(

  758. redallover says:

    Brilliant Denilson, thank you fucking idiot

  759. Gooby says:

    def a penalty

  760. AndAPrayer says:

    hmmm this isnt going well.

  761. Bobby 7 says:

    Is this where our season ends….

  762. Tariq says:

    Stupid fucking tackle….

  763. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Can anyone see Rosciky out there??

  764. Nightman says:

    Denilson is AWFUL…and he gets in Fabregas’ way

    I with Coquelin was in his place…

  765. izham says:

    fuck…………..

  766. Dutchman says:

    WTF denilson!!!!!!! What are you doing !! Why arsenal why why why why!!!!! We could be first but NO they fuck it up at all!!!!! And bye bye title!!! 6 points behind chelsea!!

  767. hitman says:

    I hate Denilson. My worst Arsenal player of all time. Waste of space.

  768. Stu says:

    Bunch of fucking bottlers…

  769. ManGoonian says:

    I cant watch!¬ I reallt cannot watch!!!

  770. Rob says:

    Denilson yet again proving that he is a shit player with fuck all to offer to the team

    People say he reads play well, but if you cant pass, create, tackle and then do something like that then quite frankly, youre not good enough for the Arsenal

    Cunt

    Thats that game lost

  771. gambon says:

    Ive said a fucking million times, team full of bottlers, then twats come on saying “oh no we aint”

  772. Pat says:

    We need 1 iun the first half. Bolton have had 2 chances and 2 fucking goals.

  773. incesc says:

    denilson you cunt

  774. Samir says:

    We deserve nothing from the game.
    WHY THE FUCK START Clichy,Denilson AND Almunia…

    Bullshit Wenger, fucking BULLSHIT!!

  775. Bostonian says:

    lol

    have to revise prediction

    someone tell the guys that we have to win with 2 goals spare and not lose

  776. Gooby says:

    commentators are starting there shite talk now

  777. choy says:

    :(

    4 goals required to go on top

  778. SUGA3 says:

    and they were all over us in the ‘first leg’, right?

    well done Wenger, way to motivate players…

    FUCK!!!

  779. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    eduardo is a luxury as well. If he has lost his pace, then why is he retained?

  780. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    we luck like bolton and they look like arsenal…

  781. reggie 57 says:

    Could be another chav like beating coming on !!!!

  782. Paulinho says:

    I said this last night to A. Denilson and Diaby are not good enough.

    Wenger has to buy a central midfielder.

  783. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Denilson is clearly the one upsetting any rhythm we try and build up!! Get him off the fucking field Wenger!!

  784. David says:

    Walcott through the middle?

  785. Samir says:

    TOP OF THE LEAGUE??
    YOUR HAVING A LAUGH!!!

  786. Tariq says:

    This is horrible….

  787. finestcuts says:

    What is this……..bumbaclaaat……we gotta go for 3-2…Almunia butterfingers.

  788. incesc says:

    getting battered, bolton want it more

  789. SUGA3 says:

    ‘we lacked a little bit of sharpness’

    FUCK. RIGHT. OFF.

  790. Gooby says:

    we are relying too much on fabregas, arshavin must try to get invoved

  791. Dutchman says:

    We could be first, and everyone was thinking that we will win this game easily but as always lost arsenal this match. It’s always the same!!!! We can’t win anything with these losers!!

  792. ManGoonian says:

    Bobby 7 Says:
    January 20, 2010 at 20:17

    Is this where our season ends….
    _____________
    Top yourself and it will….

  793. Kreshnik says:

    man … o man … this has got to be the worst day ever …
    Why in the fuck didn’t we keep playing Eastmond

    why ooooo why wwhyyyyyyyyyyyy

  794. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Denilson off, there will be no come back with him out there.

  795. reggie 57 says:

    Apart from fab4 who else is showing any leadership qualities!!

  796. gambon says:

    Tariq, embarassing more like.

    All my non Arsenal colleagues in the office have been calling this all day.

    Why are we so predictably fragile?!

  797. Gooby says:

    fuck denilson he is so crap

  798. David says:

    Our defense is a joke.

  799. SUGA3 says:

    and yes: ‘we are going to beat ManYoo and Chavs’

    fucking delusional wankers…

  800. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    we absolutelydutely need a goal before halftime

  801. Dutchman says:

    Paaulinho, Diaby was the best man on arsenals side!

  802. izzo says:

    Wenger and his favorites. I just don’t understand him Eastmond was great in the last game why npt continue with him but nooooo he has to play his favorite who just came back from injury. I hate this bolton won’t win shit and just might still get relegated so why are we letting them do this. i just don’t get this team at times the whole team cannot be out of form individuals need to step up. We can’t lose at home. It wuld be shameful. three goals to respond is gonnabe hard in this type of match so we better be up for it 2nd half. Fingers crossed

  803. Pat says:

    Denilson having a shocker in every category imaginable.

  804. AndAPrayer says:

    It was undoubtedly a poor tackle by Denilson but he otherwise hasn’t been playing too badly, he just seems to be a bit out of phase with the rest of the team, prob from not playing for ages.

    Commentators are making it sound like Bolton are dominating when they’ve been camped in their own half nearly all match, which is annoying. Got a feeling it’s going to be one of those games, dominate possession – do fuck all with it.

  805. ManGoonian says:

    Paulinho;

    ZShut up, fella…. Diaby has shown he has got the necessary talent…. Denilson on the other hand….?

  806. Gooby says:

    our game is a joke at the moment, passes are going everywhere but to our players

  807. Samir says:

    Clichy gets fit and straight back into the team.
    Fucks up as per usual aswell.
    This is all his fault!

  808. goonerpress says:

    Zat Knight making our strikers look like a bunch of pussies! Thats why we need a big forward Wenger!

  809. Tariq says:

    I just wanna bang ma head against a wall.

  810. Pat says:

    I noticed whenever we talk to the media, we do awfully. Wenger and co, shut your fucking mouths.

  811. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Why completely change the team that won 2 fucking nil!!!!

  812. redallover says:

    Hey we are not out of this its still all square on aggregate, oh hang on……………

  813. Pedro says:

    It just wont drop for him…

  814. freduardo says:

    eduardo just had to score that

  815. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    cant believe eddy didnt score. fabregas was murkin

  816. alex says:

    eddy wtf!!!

  817. incesc says:

    one world class player in fabregas dontwin you the league arsene, buy a striker

  818. Tariq says:

    Fab. should have pulled it.

  819. Pat says:

    Eduardo misses yet anothert fucking sitter!

  820. David says:

    We will get back in this…Im not sure about winning the game tho

  821. izzo says:

    eduardo is a waste up front alone and its showing. Imagine if we had a big man up front.

  822. David says:

    OMG DENILSON IS SuCH SHITE

  823. AndAPrayer says:

    Grrrr Jaaskelainen is having a MotM performance.

    Almunia isn’t. Not as bad as he has been though.

  824. gambon says:

    “judge me in may”

    “give me one more year”

    “injured players are like new signings”

  825. Dutchman says:

    WE NEED NICKIE BENDTNER!!!

  826. Tariq says:

    When Eduardo had it, I thought “ok 2-1 let’s do this!” *smh*

  827. Samir says:

    Wenger;
    “We cannot find any players better than what we have”.

    Oh really Wenger???
    Of course yo must be right.

  828. Swed says:

    Newer seen a worse finicher than Eduardo

  829. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    Maybe, with Alex Song out, we should revert to 4-4-2?

  830. Gooby says:

    should have scored eddie

  831. Paulinho says:

    Well MG I seem to remember you saying Denilson did have the necessary talent a few weeks ago so…

    Diaby’s performance tonight is an irrelevance for me. I watched him closely against Bolton and he hasn’t got a clue. Can only penetrate as a sub or when the game is completely stretched, so he’ll cost us at some point in the future. He’s got talent but not the brain to use it properly.

  832. SUGA3 says:

    they are making us look like Leyton Orient…

    Bolton – yes, Bolton for fuck’s sake…

  833. reggie 57 says:

    Never seen a worse speller!!

  834. Pedro says:

    Guys, we’re still in this… Bolton aren’t exactly the team they once were defensively.

  835. Kevin says:

    Eduardo has been terrible this season. No point of denying it. Look at all the goals he has scored more have been deflections, and the others look like accidents.

  836. Tariq says:

    I wonder if that whole diving debacle affected Eduardo. After he came back from injury he was still banging them in like nothing.

  837. rayman says:

    its a real case of when the going gets tough all the glass jawed prima donnas go hiding, cesc and tv trying to play this game by themselves, the rest are fucking awful

  838. Gooby says:

    c’mon swed all strikers miss

  839. tonyadamsisgod says:

    This game is yet again proving what I have been saying lately. Is Vermaelen a great player? Yes, definitely. Has he solved our vulnerability in the air? Definitely not!

  840. David says:

    Eddie shouldve pulled it right

  841. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    any streams working?

  842. AndAPrayer says:

    Dirty Bolton players, that foul on Eddy on the wing, saw he was going by him so wraps his other leg round eddy’s trailing one.

  843. rayman says:

    why is tv not taking those rather than the completely imept eduardo, fucking madness

  844. SUGA3 says:

    Pedro,

    we are not too good against 10-0-0 formation.áre we?

    fuck me, how can we be with a team of midgets?

  845. We have not lost yet,have some hope….anything can happen in football

    when shit teams like bolton score 2 goals,why cant we 2day…patience…

  846. tonyadamsisgod says:

    I cant wait to here the Denilson lovers trying to defend him tomorrow!!

  847. gambon says:

    Pedro

    The bigger picture is that we dont have the cojones to win the title.

    If we crumble when we have the chance to go top in Jan what happens when we go to stamford bridge, or if we have to win out last few games on the trot.

    Bunch of fragile, weak kids without any leadership.

  848. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    eduardo has a worst strike rate than the Togo Twat ;)

  849. incesc says:

    so arsene

    eduardo is having a nightmare, how come there isnt a striker on the bench to bring on?

    oh yeah, you stingy nob

  850. gambon says:

    Has to be said, ive been defending him a lot, but Eduardo is fucking shit.

  851. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    AH FFS WE JUST ARENT GETTING THE LUCK

  852. finestcuts says:

    My expression is similar to Wenger’s………

  853. C`mon Arsenal Bismillah

  854. Gooby says:

    denilson is crap

  855. Tariq says:

    Aaaahhhh! Nothing is going in!

  856. maurya says:

    Now that bloody goal post. Why don’t we start with same motivation.

  857. incesc says:

    oh right here come the crosses to midget arshavin

  858. Pat says:

    We’re not getting anything today in terms of luck

  859. finestcuts says:

    We can’t go into half time 2-0 down……come on!!!!

  860. SFOGooner says:

    Look at villa. down 0-2 and already back to 2-2. Anything can happen. Keep the hope.

  861. David says:

    Common keep the ball and drive into the box you one dimensional have to cross the first time you touch it and make it a horribly shite cross girly hair face!

    Did we hit the bar???

  862. Gooby says:

    denilson was a good dribbler i don’t know where that skill gone?

  863. SUGA3 says:

    what is the fucking point of crossing into the box with them having such a height advantage?

    one Le Hairdryer in the half time for me…

  864. Tariq says:

    Yes David.

  865. Danye West says:

    Got a bad feeling. This could see the start of us declining or we might actually buy someone.

    Dont know whats more realistic..

  866. freduardo says:

    clichy and denilson are way off the pace

  867. tonyadamsisgod says:

    You literally couldn’t pick out an Arsenal player that is playing well rig………..holly fuck!!!!!!

  868. AndAPrayer says:

    Owen Coyle’s got his tactics pretty spot on today.

    Mind you rosicky’s doing well

  869. Gooby says:

  881. SUGA3 says:

    let’s hope AW won’t treat FA Cup lightly – it is the only realistic chance of a trophy…

    unless we reinforce (hahaha)…

  882. David says:

    GET D FUCK IN!

  883. georgian1gunner says:

    you fuckin beatyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  884. Pat says:

    Jaskelainen was awful for that goal.

  885. reggie 57 says:

  886. izham says:

  887. finestcuts says:

    Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Back in the game!!!!!!!!!Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosicky!!!!!!!!!!

  888. SUGA3 says:

    fuck me, great goal…

  889. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    I thought they might mess up and draw today, but not this. To fucking Bolton.

  890. izzo says:

    thank you MOZART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now FECKING GET INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

  891. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    we could easily be ahead if we had taken are chances. damn. glad we scored tho

  892. colonel mustard says:

    disguises nothing of the shambles we are for the first half….

  893. Gooby says:

    sssiiiiicccckkkkyyyyyyyyyyy u ARE WORLD CLASS, PURE FINIIIIIISSSHHH

  894. reggie 57 says:

    get in there check mate!!

  895. David says:

    Need another goal.

  896. AndAPrayer says:

    thought that was a 2nd from rosicky there

  897. Pedro says:

    Gambon, writing us off before the game is over… or even before we’re out of the race is silly.

    COME ON ARSENAL!

    2 shite goals to concede, both from players who’ve been out for long stretches…

    We can do this!

  898. Bostonian says:

    anothe rone before half time and bolton would be wetting their pants….

  899. Gooby says:

    CCCC MMMMMOOOONNNNNNNN destry that crap

  900. izham says:

    we’ve got our tails up..

  901. Rob says:

    Link went down just after goal!!!

    Any youd wish to share????

    CMONE ARSENAL!!!

    Same as last game

    Rosicky does fuck all and then scroes a goal

    Look at the man who showed strength and then vision to set him up

    Fab is irreplacable

  902. alex says:

    stream people?

    mine fucked up

  903. Tariq says:

    All that build up for that measly thing.

  904. Tariq says:

    What a shitty first half. We needed that goal big time.

  905. alex says:

    no Rosicky was one of our best players in the first half

  906. Samir says:

    Halftime we go;
    __________Almunia___________
    Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy

    Rosicky Cesc Diaby

    Walcott Eduardo Arshavin

  907. colonel mustard says:

    streams are bollix tonight…

  908. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    i missed the goal :( but oh well lets beat these muthafuckas!!!!!!!!!!

  909. izzo says:

    we need to bombard them 2nd half and punch their fuckin lights out

  910. AndAPrayer says:

    try the livetv.ru site for streams

  911. SUGA3 says:

    what the fuck was that?

  912. David says:

    Im really tired of seeing Denilsons face

  913. rayman says:

    thats was a fucking shambles, the goal doesn’t cover up how poor a display that was, no desire, no tempo, we didn’t look like we gave fuck whether we won or not until the last 10 mins bloody awful

  914. Kevin says:

    Atleast they are battling out there. Lets wait until the end of the game to criticise denilson etc, but for now we have to support them.

  915. Stu says:

    WHat a fucking corker of a goal.. screamed my head off when that went in..oops..

  916. Nightman says:

    Lets hope Rosicky keeps this up and remembers that he has a fantastic shot on him…

  917. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Veetle is splendid

  918. reggie 57 says:

    I missed it as well shit veetle !!

  919. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    Fabregas has been 8/9 out of ten.

  920. Kreshnik says:

    ok … we have to get this win
    fuck the goal difference … we really need the fuckin win

  921. Pedro says:

    The first half wasn’t amazing defensively and the individual mistakes are a worry… but attacking wise we created plenty… just struggled to finish.

    This is a season changing half… we need to go into the next run of games with our tails firmly up!

  922. izham says:

    here’s one from veetle…however link will freeze when game starts but perfect for now as it’s half time..at ur own risk ppl

    http://www.veetle.com/viewChannel.php?cid=4b548ee00a0db

  923. David says:

    We should score 2 or 3 second half.

  924. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    thats was a fucking shambles, the goal doesn’t cover up how poor a display that was, no desire, no tempo, we didn’t look like we gave fuck whether we won or not until the last 10 mins bloody awful

    ———————

    it’s only half time mate.

  925. stonroy says:

    you know lets be honest with ourselves. With this side we are not going to win the league, as much as I hate to say it, deep down we know this is the truth.

  926. Bostonian says:

    gg9

    can you please share the veetle link?

  927. finestcuts says:

    Right, get Denilson off……..we’re a goal down, it’s not unlike us to score two in the second half……….come on Arsenal!

  928. Kevin says:

    Damn i’ve given up on this team being defensively stable. Lets just attack. But if we do score an early second, you all no this team will go GUNG HO.

  929. reggie 57 says:

    I concur there stonroy!!

  930. Gooby says:

    we really need 3 goals i m not gonna sleep well if we didn’t go on top, we waited for it so long

  931. gambon says:

    Pedro

    Bigger picture. I will take any bet up to a reasonable value that we dont win the league, we shit ourselves whenever theres a bit of pressure.

    As for tonight, well were probably favourites to win it, but we dont win the league by winning tonight.

  932. choy says:

    just saw the first goal.. such a silly goal to give away..

    cmon lads we can do this..

    just remember the last comeback from 2-0..

  933. finestcuts says:

    Channel 82341 on Sopcast has a splendid transmission, highly recommended.

  934. Pedro says:

    Stonroy, are you conceding the league at half time against Bolton?

    Chin up son! We’ll smash them in the second half… that goal will fuck their confidence!

  935. David says:

    Bolton are strong in the Air…Vermalean couldnt get to it but Clichy was particularly foolish to put it up in the air like that…ive seen Sagna do that a couple of times.

  936. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Denilson needs to grow up. He ponses about most of the time, & is carried by Cesc & the others. Its situations like now that he is found out. The boy needs to take more responsibility, he hasn’t & the best opportunity to go Top hangs in the balance.

    Yet, a guy like Eastmond in a similar situation last week, played the team game, &, as a boy, played like a man.

  937. alex says:

    try this :

    sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/74719

    working for me

  938. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    How we have missed Rosicky. This is why they say experience and strength are necessary, you cannot rely on youth and guile alone. We can still win this I guess, but we won’t go top and Chelsea will likely batter us again.

  939. ethangunner says:

    dennisdamenace Says:
    January 20, 2010 at 17:55

    Does anyone else think that if AW brings Denilson back into the starting lineup that we will struggle tonight?
    ————-

    YES :)

  940. The Ruler says:

    I think Cesc is playing like a true captain he is trying very hard, Denilson has had a poor game and has been our weakest link,to be honest I’d of preffered Eastmond playing. We are missing Traore’s areial ability, he won A LOT of headers against Bolton who are a team that excel in the air, Eduardo has tried wel but his finishing has been sub par thus far, Almunia made an excellent save aswel, Diaby has done well, the passage of play where he ran all the way back to make the tackle and then played a brilliant ball through to Eduardo was great, and Rosisky had been good, even before the goal, he’shelping us drive foward, I think if we run at this team we could do damage.

  941. We need to come pumping out,and BLAST the bloody bolton players on the pitch..

    take the bloody game to bolton and BLOW them away

    C`mon Arsenal..Score from the chances ASAP..

    C`mon Arsenal..

  942. AndAPrayer says:

    We had a few mis-placed passes and weren’t at all good defensively but we had them pinned back for nearly the entire half. Had we got a few more passes going to feet rather than just behind, then I honestly think we’d have been 3-2 up -> shame it didn’t happen really!

    What I mean is the foundations are there in this match it just hasn’t quite clicked and that’s been coupled with some stupid goals conceded.

  943. Gooby says:

    spuds are loosing 1 nil

  944. Bostonian says:

    haven’t seent he first half…but as peeps suggest here…except for Tomas and Fab, rest have been shite…..right?

  945. colonel mustard says:

    Denilson just too lighweight, Diaby not concentrating…Arshv passenger…Clichy is too excited..need to cool down… and stop our centre backs getting forward…they’re no need. just defend. Eduardo is doing fuck all…he is a passenger these days. We NEED a bruiser. Only people playing well are Cesc and Rosicky. Sagna ok too..linking up well.

  946. Gooby says:

    bostonian- diaby has been very good, he is running all over the place

  947. Kreshnik says:

    i so wished for Eastmond to play this game, a fuckin man … that’s what he is. He showed it last time and he would have shown it today. And fuck … we need Song

  948. Kevin says:

    before last season i beleive that song was better defensively and that denilson was a better passer, however this season song has shown he is superior technically. So in essence denilson is rendered pointless.

  949. David says:

    I mean for us to fuck up winning the tittle because Arsene refuses to kill denilson ffs.

  950. Pedro says:

    Guys, watch this:

  951. rayman says:

    I agree kevin, we put in a dm at home and still concede 2 to one of the worst teams in the league. There is no point in attempting to play it tight we are incapable of doing that. Forget DM, put theo on, put tom in midfield, take off denilson and attack the shit out of them

  952. Pedro says:

    … and repeat at your lap tops!

  953. Swed says:

    Please Arshavin: STEP UPP!

  954. ethangunner says:

    rayman

    good call , i suggested that 2 mornings ago and got bollocked out by A !

    go attacking is the only way to open them up ..

  955. The Ruler says:

    Yeah Denilson currently hasn’t had a purpose in the game, I’d prefer Theo on.

  956. Samir says:

    Come on!!!!
    Lets get behind them!
    Denilson or no Denilson!!!!!!
    3 more goals people!!!
    Please god help us :)

  957. SUGA3 says:

    Denilson should have been dropped to reserves a fucking long time ago – absolute lighweight…

    and it’s not like every Tom, Dick and Harry said that, ffs…

  958. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    Arsene Wenger killed Quincy-Uwusu-Abeyie and Vincent Van Den Berg

    That’s why they’ve disappeared from the face of the earth.

    However, Wenger’s tired of killing players so now he’s not gonna kill another.

    His last kill will happen this month.

    The man?

    Philippe Senderos

  959. paul says:

    I think Denilson is having a good game

  960. Pat says:

    we need to make it 2-2 asap

  961. SUGA3 says:

    *didn’t say

  962. AndAPrayer says:

    67% possession, now we need to do something with it. I hate games like this, we could go on and score 4 in the second half or just as easily score none – entirely depends if it clicks.

  963. ethangunner says:

    and more importantly if the player isnt up to scratch get them out early , wenger is just as much to blame ..

    same can be said for coco the clown (big al)

  964. yes denilson is playing shite…

    what happened to camerron match..any update ??

  965. SUGA3 says:

    Eduardo should be replaced by Vela too – more pace and better in tight spaces IMO…

  966. Pedro says:

    I’d be telling the players about the Malians and their come back from 4 down…

    We’re going to win 3-2!

  967. incesc says:

    come on guys 7 goals in the second half lets outdo chelsea

  971. Pat says:

    Theo on please, for Denilson

  972. The Ruler says:

    If Denilson stays on hopefully he’s makes it up to us, that was a bad tackle, wasn’t really close, we need to tear them apart and be fast and positive with our play dirving foward.

  973. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    * 21 Fabianski,

    the only way denilson can be having a good game is if your an away fan !

  975. Gooby says:

    c’mon 3 goals will make us happy

  976. SUGA3 says:

    TR,

    Denilson is one of the slowest players we have…

  977. paul says:

    Just watch Denilson take this game by the scruff of the neck

  978. David says:

    It hurts that Eddie is so slow now.

  979. Tariq says:

    Awww Diaby!!

  980. incesc says:

    arshavin off theo on

  981. paul says:

    Any good streams

  982. rayman says:

    diaby wtf? are we able to tackle at all? this is basic football nothing else, fucking insane

  983. Pat says:

    Diaby is giving away such fucking daft fouls

  984. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    the curse of clumsy diaby strikes again

  985. David says:

    Theyre parking the bus heavy

  986. Paul88 says:

    Fuck sake we make it hard on ourselves.

  987. rayman says:

    we are making them look really good, an amazing feat. Eddy makes steinson look world class

    fabs a genius, ref shoulda stopped it

  1002. Tariq says:

    Like they would have kicked the ball out for us! After that bullshit on Sunday??? FUCK OFF!!

  1003. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Stop your winging you northern monkeys :lol:

  1004. Mahshallah

    C`mon Arsenal…One more goal…

    C`mon Lets score another goal ASAP….Bismillah

  1005. rayman says:

    gallas did that bloke, could have been a red didn’t really get the ball, brilliant play by cesc but that guy must be hurt willy came right down on his ankle, could be a real turning point

  1006. incesc says:

    awful from diaby im embarrased by that

  1007. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    GET IN!!!!!

  1008. AndAPrayer says:

  1009. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    *whinging

  1010. maurya says:

  1011. Samir says:

    Fucking GREAT REF!!!!!
    And Great keeping!
    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

  1012. Pat says:

    We still had a lot to do after that. Finally some luck.

  1013. incesc says:

    oh it was gallas

  1014. maurya says:

    And get 2 more goals and break some other bolton legs.

  1015. The Ruler says:

    Sorry but after all the awful fouls by Bolton they should shut the fuck up.

  1016. rayman says:

    only thing wrong here is the wrong davies is on that stretcher

  1017. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Sabeel

    2 more goals :)

  1018. Kreshnik says:

    I hope the leg is broken. Ha Ha Ha. Its pay back for the arsehole clubs.

  1042. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    every stream plays for a few minutes then bloody goes

  1043. SFOGooner says:

    hope gallas does not get a ban for this .. then we are f***ed.

  1044. AndAPrayer says:

    good god, cesc could turn a man gay.

  1045. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    Fab Fabregas again. I knew Rosicky was quite good defensively, but the video above is something else.

  1046. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    SFO, Sol?

  1047. Gooby says:

    fabreagas is such a player best in the world

  1048. kenny smith says:

    fuck “we forget easy” we complain we get fouled all the time but fuck all gets done about it! So no one has the right to complain about that!

  1049. maurya says:

    Fuck Edu. You are better than that.

  1050. Samir says:

    Ohhhhh DUDU….

  1051. Pat says:

    Eduardo needs to connect. His runs and everything else is brilliant. The finishing is gone though

  1052. gambon says:

    Eduardo….sigh!

  1053. reggie 57 says:

    Send that to big fat cunt sam at blackburn haha!

  1054. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Eduardo off, Vela on, then play to AA23, then 4-2

  1055. incesc says:

    jeez eduardo is so shit tonight he has to score the winner

  1056. Gooby says:

    commentator says bolton are unlucky

  1057. gambon says:

    Gooby

    He is becoming our Zidane, he is that good!

  1058. SUGA3 says:

    Edu off, Vela on…

  1059. Pat says:

    Davies is having a great game.

  1060. Rob the Goon says:

    4-2 come on you gooners!

  1061. paul says:

    Denilson running the game now

  1062. SFOGooner says:

    Don’t think Sol is fit enough for 2 games in a week ..

  1114. AndAPrayer says:

    “FFS!!! Get Sagna off!”
    ——

    Er, bit of an odd one. who would come on?

  1115. alex says:

  1117. Ooby says:

  1125. mike__ says:

    now lets get the 4th and 5th if it stays at 3-2 all they are gonna do is bitch about the 2nd plus i dont need another shaky last 10 mins that the team like to give us lol

  1126. incesc says:

  1130. Gooby says:

    did bolton equalise i m late on stream

  1131. finestcuts says:

    Pat, Sopcast 82431

  1132. AndAPrayer says:

    god the commentators a mug, he must have said Davis has won everything about 20 times, he then invariably gets beaten by our defence but 2 seconds later the commentator is saying he wins everything. Think it’s Townsend which explains a lot.

  1133. Gooby says:

    stream channel 82341 sopcast

  1134. alex says:

    Cum onnnn cesc bang this in!

  1135. Tariq says:

    Gallas jack of all trades.

  1136. Teerex says:

    “FFS!!! Get Sagna off!”
    ——

    Er, bit of an odd one. who would come on?

    Ehm, someone that can cross???

  1137. finestcuts says:

    Oops Sopcast 82341

  1138. Rob says:

    So angry that i gave this gam eto my little bro, he must be having a gr8 time!!!

    Any truth to rumours that Edin Dzeko is in the stands guys??

    Would explain Wengers absence

  1139. Teerex says:

    Edu step back from this

  1140. AndAPrayer says:

    BTW, anyone else been watching an American stream? just how much debt is the average US football watcher in?

  1141. incesc says:

    send mccan off

  1142. georgian1gunner says:

    arshavin and rosicky joking all the match

  1143. maurya says:

    I guess Eastmund can play RW. All the holding mids can play RW.

  1144. Gooby says:

    why is edurdo so shite today ffs????

  1145. Pedro says:

    Diaby off… lovely… another injury…

  1146. rayman says:

    diaby injured, needs to come off, please better not be serious

  1147. David says:

    Denilson why are you such a fucking liability

  1148. AndAPrayer says:

    “FFS!!! Get Sagna off!”
    ——

    Er, bit of an odd one. who would come on?

    Ehm, someone that can cross???
    ——
    or play right back maybe?

  1149. Pat says:

    FFS another injury to a player who has been very, very impressive

  1150. Swed says:

    Suprise! Diaby injured!

  1151. incesc says:

    diaby injured

  1152. Tariq says:

    Eastmond is getting ready.

  1153. mike__ says:

    why doesnt arshavin get a chance to take a free kick?
    he knows how to hit it and make it stay hit.

  1154. incesc says:

    send coyle off

  1155. rayman says:

    eastmond coming on for diaby

  1156. Tariq says:

    Come on Eastmond!

  1157. alex says:

    Eastmond?? why not walcott? or jet or vela

  1158. Teerex says:

    “FFS!!! Get Sagna off!”
    ——

    Er, bit of an odd one. who would come on?

    Ehm, someone that can cross???
    ——
    or play right back maybe?

    Yes, and that can cross and score :-)

  1159. Gooby says:

    fuck, same old story diaby, we need players, everyone is out for the big games

  1160. simon mcmahon says:

    well the foul on that fat bastard davies will probably be asked to be reviewed by the fa,
    and there will be calls for a suspension.
    i say its about time we string kicking back these arseholes, Storey style.
    but the fact remains we desperatly need a striker, aa will play better and so will rosicky, even fab 4 will feel the benefit.

  1161. finestcuts says:

    FFS Diaby off :S

  1162. Rob the Goon says:

    come on eastmond!

  1163. incesc says:

    walcott wouldn’t last half a second in this game

  1164. SUGA3 says:

    ‘Diaby is good in the air’

    who is this idiot?

  1165. alex says:

    great play eastmond

  1166. AndAPrayer says:

    well played TV

  1167. rayman says:

    looks like a slog to the whistle all our inspiration has gone, cesc gone quiet, eduardo getting worse not better I can see them getting an equaliser at this rate

  1168. Rob the Goon says:

    i agree@incesc

  1169. David says:

    Can we keep the ball ffs.

  1170. Teerex says:

    walcott wouldn’t last half a second in this game

    Sad but true!

  1171. Pat says:

    This fucker is good. Verm and Gallas. We need you at your best now, same with CLichy and Sagna

  1172. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Need the next goal.

  1173. rayman says:

  1174. SUGA3 says:

    fuck me, Coco glued to the spot – again…

  1175. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    we almost came back too early…

  1176. incesc says:

    get it away

  1177. Rob the Goon says:

    Tony Gale should get sent off…what an absolute c**t

  1178. Gooby says:

    now counter them with arshavin

  1179. Pat says:

    Rooney got a pen for the same exact shit against us ffs!!!

  1180. David says:

    That is a penalty ffs!!!!

  1181. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    two penalties not given fuck off

  1182. Paulinho says:

    Streams constantly cut off after a few minutes.

  1183. incesc says:

  1184. alex says:

  1185. Samir says:

  1186. rayman says:

    clear pen again denied, wtf do we have to do to get a pen now?

  1187. finestcuts says:

    Damn, I was hoping it was Lee Dong Gook, lol

  1188. David says:

    Clichy doing his best to give another assist i see.

  1189. Paulinho says:

    Poor touch from Fabs really.

  1190. incesc says:

    fucking cunting wanking shitting ref

  1191. SFOGunner says:

    the way we are defending .. i hope we get 3 points ..

  1192. Kreshnik says:

    this game is better than sex

  1218. AndAPrayer says:

    hold your horses guys, got to see it out first

  1219. Tariq says:

    Guys I might have to call it a night…I have a horrible dizzy spell. Might be back later. Come on Arsenal!

  1220. Gooby says:

  1224. Gooby says:

    WHAT A COOOL BASTARD, did nothing in the game until he send us on top of the league

  1225. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    There will be a fair bit of extra time :(

  1226. rayman says:

    vela for tom, well played tom, you started it all

  1227. Kreshnik says:

    COMEBACK KINGS THIS YEAR … I AM LOVING MY LIFE TODAY

  1228. finestcuts says:

  1232. reggie 57 says:

    Whats the fuckin score anyone!!

  1233. AndAPrayer says:

    6 mins time!!!

  1234. rayman says:

    6 mins of injury time – most of it when davies was down

  1235. alex says:

    great performance from Rosicky!

    thats why wenger gave him the new contract!

  1236. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    Oh Arshavin, put us top of the league, you vanishing gem. He must still be slightly injured or he’d be killing teams, he only needs a half chance.

  1237. WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    C`mon ARSENAL BISMILLAH

  1238. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    shit 6 mins…

  1239. Gooby says:

    6 mins what the fuck????? red nose is in the stands??can someone throw a quick look?

  1240. paul says:

    Why doesnt Tony Gale fuck off

  1241. AndAPrayer says:

    not top yet, got to see it out, dont jinx us

  1242. David says:

    What the hell are we playing ping pong?

  1243. Bobby 7 says:

    Its absolutely hilarious how one of the commentators has gone completely quiet now.

  1244. Gooby says:

    denilson looks better up front, he just can’t hold

  1245. AndAPrayer says:

    I know some of you won’t like it but I think Denilson has been pretty good in the second half

  1246. SUGA3 says:

    ‘Owen Coyle’s ambition is to get Bolton to play the Arsenal way’

    mwahahahahahahahaha…

    PMSL…

  1247. t-buzz says:

    Get in!!

  1248. Samir says:

    Denilson absouloutely brilliant second half. I take it all back now. Sorry Denilson!
    Eastmond also Very good, a legend in the making!!!

  1249. rayman says:

    vela is a fucking waste of space wtf is he laughing about, should be tearing his hair out what a miss, theo on for eddy

  1250. SUGA3 says:

    oh shut up with this ‘Ole’ already…

  1251. AndAPrayer says:

    that deserved a goal

  1252. alex says:

    ohhhh ARsh what a run!!!

  1253. David says:

    Arshavin is Legend

  1254. Gooby says:

    how could vela miss??

  1255. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    Yeah I must have got to watch about 5 minutes of the game and that commentator is a wank, talking about Arshavin knows he gave him a push. He put his hand on his back for sure, but Arshavin aint that strong. Please hold on Arsenal.

  1256. Merida's No.1 Fran says:

    great but greedy from arshavin

  1257. rayman says:

    arsh you bad boy, great skill but should have played theo in

  1258. David says:

    Shouldve passed there.

  1259. freduardo says:

    oooh greedy greedy arsh

  1260. Pat says:

    Arshavin and Vela should have scored

  1261. rayman says:

    cesc been magnificent again, what a player he is

  1262. David says:

    Quite a shite game from Denilson top to buttom.

  1263. georgian1gunner says:

    arshavin , walcott is freee

  1264. AndAPrayer says:

    Arsh definitely should have passed but if he had scored that turn would have been mentioned in tones similar to those used for Bergkamp v Newcastle (not as good I know)

  1265. Dutchman says:

    see how dangerous walcott is in CF!!

  1266. FULL TIME

    Mashallah ..great game…

    EVERYONE SING ..

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    C`mon ARSENAL BISMILLAH

  1267. alex says:

  1269. Samir says:

  1270. incesc says:

    Fuck me Iz if ever you’re round Bishopsgate way any time soon, beer sand strippers are on me. That link was like watching it on SkyHD.

    It did not flicker once over the 96mins !!!

  1272. georgian1gunner says:

    guys i lovee youuu, good by all ;)

  1273. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Denilson may just have grown up re 2nd half. Good “man”.

  1274. I WILL BE SINGING ALL NIGHT..HOPEFULLY AT END OF SEASON TOO,INSHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

    WE R TOP OF LEAGUE…MASHALLAH

  1275. The Ruler says:

    Ditto, hope Diabys injury is not bad, delighted we’re top though, Cesc was oustanding.

  1276. georgian1gunner says:

    ohh, and totenham have lost :)

  1277. nishanth says:

    You have got to fucking love arsenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1278. freduardo says:

    i’m dead impressed with Rosicky this last 2 games. keepin everythin crossed for the lad to get a few games behind him, get some form, and be really important for us in the second half of the season

  1279. rayman says:

    top of the league, great comeback, brilliant second half awful first half

  1280. mike__ says:

    looks like coyle said something to wenger about the tackle at the end he pointed back to it and as he walked off wenger looked like he shook his finger as in to say no no lol.

  1281. ManGoonian says:

    Wind your bleedin necks in you whiny whinging fockers!!!

    We are top of the league, say we are top of the league!!! :D

  1282. georgian1gunner says:

    sorry, not yet but they will lost

  1283. Kreshnik says:

    officially this was tooo much … WE SHOWED WE GOT BALLS … AND ALL THE REST THAT IS NEEDED TO WIN THE LEAGUE. Now let’s just fuckin win it

  1284. Gooby says:

    WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE
    WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE
    WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE

  1285. finestcuts says:

    We should have got 3 like I said, 2 wasted chances….but I’ll take 4-2 and top of the table any day of the week……….air guitar time, game over!!

  1286. AndAPrayer says:

    had a real feeling our possession would give us the result. I reckon that was probably a Wenger hlaf time special. By which I mean he says bugger all apart from “you go here and you go here” – seems to work though :)

  1287. ManGoonian says:

    gnarleygeorege;

    Hey there my old mukkaroo!

    How were some of the scapegoats/marmites tonight??? I trust your opinion!

  1288. The Ruler says:

    Eastmond to me currently looks better than Denilson, he seems to have more grit.

  1289. David says:

    Top of the League!

  1290. Fabregas, Rosicky Verminator Men of the Match….

  1291. SUGA3 says:

    MG,

    yes we are!!!

    we didn’t look like champs in the first half, did we?

  1292. Ritesh says:

  1313. incesc says:

    so what now for the shitkickers of the league.

    we can play the physical stuff whilst knocking four past the likes of bolton

  1314. nishanth says:

    Yeah sure paul

  1315. Pat says:

    We’re playing Stoke away with a much weakened team and I’m fine with that. Our players are dropping like flies.

  1316. Hat-trick Hero says:

    Ha Ha Ha, top 4 spuds losing 2-nil, fuckin great!

  1317. maurya says:

    Yaahoo yahooo yaahoooo

  1318. pedro, Please let the title of the tomorrow post be
    similar to the lines of
    “WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE”

  1319. Pat says:

    Spuds lose.

  1320. Jonathan says:

    We are on top! Yes! Go you gooners!

    Our team’s shaping up pretty nicely, ain’t it? Diaby’s starting to show real promise, Rosicky’s getting back his form, Verminator sure knows how to defend and score screamers, Gallas with his new-found strength and determination and not forgetting our magnificent Cesc Fabregas; he has turned out to be something really special. And what makes our captain ever-more repectable is that he is an ARSENAL man through and through, just like RvP.

    The awesome Gunners!

  1321. ManGoonian says:

    Pedro;

    Hahahahahahaa! Thanks mate! :D

  1322. Marko says:

    A Camaroon loss tomorrow and a signing mid next week and I’ll be fookin laughing. Easy argument here but little Fabregas is the in form midfielder in world football at the moment. Better than Gerrard and Lampard.

  1323. carlos says:

    HA Yid’s conceded another 2-0

  1324. 78692 says:

    When do Cameroon play next?

  1325. skandibird says:

    so what now for the shitkickers of the league.

    we can play the physical stuff whilst knocking four past the likes of bolton
    ———

    Given our injuries I think it’s looking like we can say this team has grown up, took a while and still no guarantees of winning the league but it’s good to see.

    With the Gallas foul, how can the commentators constantly say we’re too light weight and we need to toughen up but then when we do that they turn it on its head and say we can no longer complain about being fouled – stupid anti-Arsenal twats.

    Now back to the important thing, did I mention we are top of the league?

  1327. paul says:

    Wish i had gone now.watching these steams constantly going down is shit.Why is it you can watch the EPL in nearly every country except England ?

  1328. 78692 says:

    Chamakh scored again today BTW.

  1329. David says:

    Even all the more better the spurds lose!

  1330. Marko says:

    I’m waiting to catch the highlights, did anyone see Diaby going off injured? I hope it’s nothing really cause we’re seeing what a fit and confident Diaby can add to the team these last number of weeks.

  1331. skandibird says:

    so happy that I repeat myself, but hey!!! Tonight everything IS allowed!!!

  1332. ManGoonian says:

    You can bet your arses that the media will be calling us dirty Arsenal tomorrow!!! Hahahaha! And when they do, I will laugh my knackers off!

    Coz we will go from being too lightweight to being too physical you wankers!!!

  1333. Samir says:

    Here are all the goals!
    Even the shit ones…. For those that missed them;

  1334. SharkeySure says:

    Marko it sbnot about Fab’s form, he’s always been better than those other two !!!

    Those two rely too much on power, Fab is an absolute master of the pure art of football !!!

  1335. Okay Le-grover arsenal fanatics…

    time to hit the sack,its 3.30 am now,

    Thank god,Great Fightback,hope we start the NEXT BIG QUARTET of games with the high tempo with which we fought back…

    Lets all sing,its been so long

    We are TOP of the League
    We are TOP of the League
    We are TOP of the League

    Mashallah

    Catch u all Grover On the morrow

    Booom..Booom

  1336. Samir says:

    Arshavin Magic!!

  1337. 78692 says:

    Chiellini has revealed that he was invited by both clubs to attend, whilst also admitting he is currently locked in talks with Tottenham.

  1338. Marko says:

    Isn’t that the way it always is MG. Years ago when Paddy Vieira was getting sent off every other game they called us undisciplined and now they say we’re lightweight pussies. I say fook them we’re neither, we play football the right way and we’re not a bunch of scumbags like Bolton, Chelsea or Everton.

  1339. David says:

    Tick Tock Goes the Clock…Fergie Time….Is almost UP!

    It did not flicker once over the 96mins !!!

    tanx sharkey but i have to pass..i’m not in london,fuck i’m not in england either..oh wait i’m not even in europe..still saving up to make my pilgrimage to THOF..one day fellas,one day

  1342. Keyser says:

    I’m quite happy, I dunno whether I should look back at the first half comments though ?!

  1343. reggie 57 says:

    SSN have us in 2nd place the slags!!

  1344. Pedro says:

    Keyser, don’t bother…

  1345. SUGA3 says:

    Keyser,

    better not ;)

    but we looked shite back then…

  1346. Keyser says:

    That Veetle link was awesome, lucky I’ve got a HD laptop.

  1347. terry40 says:

    leave it alone Keyser

  1348. David says:

    Obvious problems in defense need to be sorted…lets get Denilson a ticket home.

  1349. Truth says:

    Brilliant come back, we always do it the hard way, but I love it just the same. Top of the league, and if we are there or there about’s at the end of this next run of games, we could well be in for a taste of success.

  1350. SomeRandomGunner says:

    Pedro Says:
    January 20, 2010 at 20:25
    Guys, we’re still in this… Bolton aren’t exactly the team they once were defensively.

    Most positive comment here ….

  1351. Marko says:

    Hey David why not take the night of from moaning and enjoy the fact that we’re top. There’s no such thing as a perfect football team.

  1352. Keyser says:

    So what if we looked shite, we’ve been doing the 2-0 down wake yourself up routine for years, back to when Wenger first came to the club.

    There was even a time I used to think going a goal down was a good thing for us.

  1353. terry40 says:

    well said Marko

  1354. paul says:

    Fuck me David do you have to ?

  1355. Samir says:

    Chelsea have Birmingham and Burnley next in the EPL….
    We have Aston Villa and Manchester United :)

    Easy for us then :D

  1356. David says:

    David Says:
    January 20, 2010 at 20:38
    We should score 2 or 3 second half.

    ————————————-

    Why dont you take a break from sounding like a muppet and trying to find any stupid excuse to slag anyone off.

  1357. Keyser says:

    I wish we’d converted the last couple of chances though, they’ll be less empahasis in the papers tomorrow about the disgusting vile cheats from the Emirates that played on while a player was almost fatally injured.

  1358. alex says:

    Haahahha anyone see the Wenger interview on SSN??

    gotta love him!

    denies it was a bad tackle and said it was ok to carry down! wenger you legend

  1359. jlp says:

    Come on you REDS
    beauties….everyone of them

  1360. Wiseman says:

    woooohooooo!!!

    We’re top!!!

    If Bolton want to know why the ref didn’t award Gallas’s foul… KARMA!!!!

    We only gave what we got!

  1361. SUGA3 says:

    Keyser,

    but against Bolton? at home?

    I reckon we have a bit of a problem with geeing ourselves up for the home games against lesser sides – and that is a worry, given that the 2:0 on Sunday flattered us a bit…

  1362. Keyser says:

    David pay for the ticket yourself..

  1363. Bostonian says:

    i agree denilson did not have a good game…but did anyone notice who intercepted and broke up Bolton’s move for the first goal?

  1364. ManGoonian says:

    Just seen the 1st half highlights and, for me, Almunia is blameless for both Bolton goals and if he had let in Rosicky’s opener, there would’ve been murders on here!!! Haha!

  1365. Johan says:

    I’m happy but at the same time I’m worried about Diaby atm.. Can’t get rid of the nagging feeling that he will be out for our upcoming three week spell.

  1366. Marko says:

    All I know is that knowing that if we won by 2 goals we’d be top and then we go 2 goals down and still end up winning is really great sign of how far we’ve come this season.

  1367. Pat says:

    Wenger, my word the man is blind!

  1368. Pedro says:

    Suga, they were two very lucky goals for Bolton.

    A sloppy penalty and a clearance most Sunday league players would blush at.

    We dominated…

  1369. SharkeySure says:

    Izham

    If you’re having a whip round for your pilgrimage let me know ;-)

    Pedro….The Voice of Reason. Well played.

    It actually wasn’t as mad on here as it might have been 1st half…well other than Gambon and Samir plumbing new depths.

    Where’s Jaguar??

  1370. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    No offence fella, but you were wittering on about how we need a battering ram to score against Bolton’s 10 man defence….

    Lets face it, we are all pretty clueless about football really…

    Come on, admit it, you will feel better, trust me… I’m a doctor…

  1371. SUGA3 says:

    MG,

    fair enough, he couldn’t reach the first one, but he made no attempt to do it…

    well done on the pen, nearly got it, a good save from their freekick too ;)

  1372. Marko says:

    Come on SUGA3 give us a smile.

  1373. ManGoonian says:

    Pat;

    Give it a fecking rest with your whining fella….

    You werre saying who would buy Clichy earlier! The man is playing his 1st game since October…

  1374. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    Well said Marko, Arsenal will never be able to do right in their eyes. We Gooners have to love the club twice as much to make up for it. Bad foul by Gallas, bad timing.

  1375. Maciek says:

    Has Dzeko really been at the Emirates?

  1376. Pedro says:

    Almunia can’t shoulder the blame for those goals.

    Blaming a keeper for conceding a penalty? Jeez…

  1377. AndAPrayer says:

    Denilson played pretty well in the second half I thought. Had a bit of a poor first half, just couldn’t seem to get with the pace of the game and was constantly putting passes behind players. Secondly half Cesc moved forward a bit, Denilson had more space and he impacted on the game a lot more.

    None of our goals tonight were that special, they were all by and large a result of continued pressure, which is good to see as that’s what Chelsea do to teams.

  1378. David says:

    No news on diaby? Looks like 2-3 weeks again.

  1379. SUGA3 says:

    MG,

    thing is, I still think we are making it hard for ourselves without some presence up top…

    but that’s just me ;)

  1380. Pedro says:

    Maciek… I highly doubt it.

    Unless it was a holiday.

  1381. ManGoonian says:

    Sharkey;

    Hey mate… I couldnt face it on here before… Would’ve rathered having my teeth pulled out at the dentists really!

  1382. Bostonian says:

    i think Eastmond should be played in gradually with 10-15 minutes in each game.

    his style is more like Diaby rather than song or denilson

  1383. Keyser says:

    SUGA3 – We won both games, we’ve got tons of players out injured, we went 2-0 down and came back to score 4.

    I don’t get what people watch sometimes, 4 years since our last trophy and people haven’t worked out there are no easy games, there are no guarantees, and its the same for the team, they have to work to their limits for every yard they run, every pass they make, every shot they take (feel like Puff Daddy here)..

    If we win the title this year, there’s no luck, we’ll have deserved every bit of it.

  1384. Marko says:

    Rosicky’s goal was classic Rosicky, if he’d of been fit these last 2 years he’d of scored dozens like that.

  1385. izham says:

    will do sharkey..for now just soak in the joy of being top of the league..10 out of 12 for the next 4 league games,will do me fine..

  1386. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    I hope we sign a new striker, at least before feb mate…. Just playing devil’s avocado…

  1387. paul says:

    Tonights results mean Totteringham day has been brought closer

  1388. Confidentgoner says:

    After our late first haf goal, it was clear we were going to win. The only issue was with hw many goals. I mustg say the lads put their hat to it after the 2 goal let down. We still need a DM and a hold up striker, Wenger. Don’t screw this now!

  1389. Denilson says:

    We Are Top Of The League!!!

  1390. SUGA3 says:

    Marko :grin:

    I am quite happy about our fightback, but we need to iron out some shortcomings to win it ;)

  1391. ManGoonian says:

    Fuck off Tony gale you mug cunt!

  1392. alex says:

    We had a whole team out aswell

    Eboue Song Djourou Gibbs
    Nasri Ramsey Wilshere
    Bendtner RVP Merida

    Who says we have no depth??

  1393. maurya says:

    David,
    It is better to play Fungus at home than Birmingham in current form. Birmingham is the top form side presently.

  1394. Bostonian says:

    eastmond still dwells on ball a bit and looks a little bit slow. though he showed good upper body strength to keep the ball a few times.

  1395. Gooner4life&beyond says:

    I’ve got an HD laptop and that Veetle link was good, but not perfect. Though he’s probably got a better one than me, but still.

    Thanks very much for the links Samir, much appreciated.

  1396. ManGoonian says:

    Here we go, media lynch mob beckons for Gallkas, you wait and see…

    Just like the infamous Nasri “stamp” or “trodgate”…

  1397. Pat says:

    MG it’s not whining. Every one with half a brain can see Clichy has been pretty poor since Brum Brum 2 seasons ago

  1398. SUGA3 says:

    Keyser – I would never say winning titles is about luck (well, you can lose it if your luck is shit) – and yes, if we win it, that will be a result of hard work of players, some of which are not quite ready ;)

    which will make it even sweeter…

  1399. Bostonian says:

    Setanta commentators were such mugs

    i wonder why they are so pissed off with Arsenal even though their accent sounded that they were Americans

  1400. Marko says:

    SUGA3 I understand you a little bit more mate, complain about signing a striker until we sign one, I like it I too want a striker but I don’t think the people who can make that happen read blogs. I’m just so fuckin happy that this season we’re not dependent on strikers for goals, this season we’re scoring loads of goals from midfield which is something we’ve been lacking for a couple of years. Tony Gale is a cunt by the way.

  1401. Bostonian says:

    the fab penalty shout was same as Shrek penalty against us at old shitfford

  1402. Bobby 7 says:

    Any news regarding Diaby?

  1403. simon mcmahon says:

    just watched Coyle , Being interviewed, what a wanker , yes gallas was lucky not to get a red , then he goes on about how unsportsman it was for us not to kick the ball out of play when the man was on the floor.Someone show him the highlights of how sporting his bunch of moronic useless cloggers were against us on saturday , I know why dont we just compile a selestion of clips showing how they singled out fab 4 for their assault tactics.
    LET SEE HIM EXPLAIN THE HAIR PULLING WHEN OUR SKIPPER WAS FOULED IN THEIR BOX how sporting was that Owen.
    Itsnt great karma fat boy davies writes in a sunday paper that our boys cry like girls when they are challenged , the minute they get some back they moan like the school bully when he get his arse kicked by the new boy.
    It’s about time we started kicking back nasri started it against Hull, rosicky and willy g dished it out against these arseholes over the two games .
    on to another bunch who kicked us off the park last year , I hope shawcross gets some this weekend, although I think there will be lots of players rested, WE COULD BE EVEN BETTER WITH A PROPER cENTRE FORWARD , PLEASE WENGER spend, spend, spend, PS DENILSON IS CRAP……

  1404. Bostonian says:

    Tony Gale is a bubble boy

  1405. ManGoonian says:

    No Pat, its whining and giving an Arsenal player shit, who has just come back from a 4 month injury lay off….

    Who’s the one with half a brain…?

    Here’s a clue… P*t…

  1406. Pedro says:

    Who got the assists?

  1407. SUGA3 says:

    Marko,

    I just want to voice my opinion, that’s all ;)

    and it’s not just goals, it’s keeping defenders busy and creating space for others…

  1408. Keyser says:

    Pat – The teams been pretty poor since, and I don’t get it, he won the ball against Birmingham, the ref fucked up but people still blame him.

    We’re an attacking team, not a defensive one and Clichy suits us down to the ground, I wouldn’t swap him for anyone, in fact any of our left backs, you can see that he’s got more energy than almost anyone else on the pitch.

  1409. Pedro says:

    Guys, lets play it nice.

    We’ve just won… we’re top of the league.

  1410. Bostonian says:

    here is the Davies story

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/4217984/Kevin-Davies-embarrassed-by-Arsenal-antics.html

    When Arsenal artistry comes up against Bolton brawn, Kevin Davies is customarily at the centre of controversy. After the visitors’ grim rearguard action had held firm for 84 minutes at an increasingly frustrated Emirates Stadium, the burly forward extended hostilities with a withering indictment of Arsenal players.
    Davies has been booked in five of his last six League matches against Arsenal and although he avoided another yellow card on Saturday, tensions still run high after his two-footed lunge that caught Gael Clichy’s shin at the Reebok Stadium in September.

    “I’ve been accused of cheating by them in the past and yet when you catch one of them, they scream to try and earn you a booking. It’s a bit embarrassing really and in my eyes that’s cheating the referee,” Davies said.
    “I spoke to Toure. He did one and I said, ‘Come on, you are a big, strong man, I didn’t touch you, what are you doing?’ It’s a bit unneccessary really but they con the referee, get the free-kick out of it and some of their players are good at doing that.
    “Clichy made a meal of one, he made no attempt to play the ball, I didn’t make any contact with him and then he was on top of the referee, trying to get me booked. He could have booked me easily with the screams they were making. It was like I was trying to kill someone.”

  1411. Johan says:

    Looks like Diaby has a hamstring problem.

  1412. Bostonian says:

    Pedro here are the assists:

    1. Fabregas
    2. Arshavin
    3. Diaby
    4. Eduardo

  1413. ManGoonian says:

    Yep, here comes the anti-Arsenal backlash… Gallas will be lucky to avoid a ban…. Funny how nothing was mentioned about the Bolton antics on Sunday, particularly Mat taylor, the cunt…

  1414. Stu says:

    AAwwww poor bolton complaining about a foul. Fuck off you cunts..

  1415. maurya says:

    Edu looks like needs some time. He is playing well in flashes as a support striker. He is not cutting in as a target man or main striker. May be, he will get back to his best once confidence comes back. He is kinda not composed himself today.

  1416. Bostonian says:

    bad news Johan

    what the fuck does Arsenal trainer do?

    all the lads seem to have too tight hamstrings

  1417. simon mcmahon says:

    THATS RIGHT PEDRO top, top,top of the league!!!

  1418. SUGA3 says:

    Keyser,

    second that, it was never a pen…

  1419. BigRaddy says:

    What a fantastic game of football. Skill, great goals, mistakes, dodgy refereeing (no surprise there), injuries. 2 nil down, 4-2 up.

    Just great entertainment, and Top of the League.

    Thank you Lord for making me a Gooner

  1420. nn says:

    big up to dennilson , a nightmare of a first half but had the balls to go out there second half and become a man and have a great game

  1421. SUGA3 says:

    Nige just said we may sign a CF with a cheeky smile ;)

  1422. simon mcmahon says:

    Geoff Must be hammered!!!!

  1423. ManGoonian says:

    Stu;

    Hahaha! Yeah, did you see Wenger’s reaction? Brilliant! lets compare tackles from both games!!!

    Cesc got 1 assist and Diaby got 1

  1425. Pat says:

    Of course I’d keep CLichy cause he bleeds Arsenal and gives 100%, but he’s dropped a few levels in the past 2 years.

  1426. nn says:

    pedro am i on or banned

  1427. nishanth says:

    This win would do their belief a lot of good

  1428. Wrighty7 says:

    OY OY OY OY OY!

    Pedro, please don’t tell me you were being calm again matey?

    The Calm Gang Rule!

    Ha ha

  1429. alex says:

    1st goal:
    -Rosicky right-footed goal from inside box in open play
    -Fabregas assist from open play

    2nd goal:
    -Fabregas right-footed goal from inside box in open play
    -No assist
    -Arshavin key pass

    3rd goal:
    -Vermaelen left-footed goal from inside box in open play
    -Diaby assist from open play

    4th goal:
    -Arshavin right-footed goal from inside box in open play
    -No assist
    -Key passes by Denilson and Eduardo (Fabregas for the slide tackle? Your decision)

  1430. Marko says:

    Clichy will be back to normal, people tend to forget when Cashley left and the season after Clichy missed a whole season through injury he played amazingly well week in week out.

  1431. nishanth says:

    We always like to do it the hard way.Stunning goal by vermaelen.Forget DM we should play him as a striker

  1432. ManGoonian says:

    Pat;

    You had him out the door about an hour ago! Hahaha! We were lucky if we could sell him to Brighton by your reckoning!

    The guy has made a few mistakes, high profile ones, but he is human! And a defender, which makes those mistakes more high profile and costly. Vermealen made a couple of clangers tonight. Don’t see anyone calling for his head….

    Well, Jaguar aint been on though…

  1433. Keyser says:

    I don’t think you can single out players like that, it’s the team thats dropped several levels since a couple of years ago, and we’re slowly working our way back now.

  1434. Stu says:

    Yeah Mg, but only just saw that answer to the Gallas tackle.

    The second we scored after that tackle i knew a huge deal would be made out of it. “arsenal cheat their way to the top of the league” etc etc..

    Its bullshit that people complain about us playing to the whistle after a horrible tackle but every other team does it and as far as im concerned i dont give a shit what other people say. That 1 tackle made us even with Bolton over the last 2 games imo. We should have had 3 pks in these 2 games.

  1435. Wrighty7 says:

    Big Raddy!

    ‘Thank you Lord for making me a Gooner’

    So it WAS you on my blog! Ha ha

  1436. trindle says:

    Whoaaaa! Yesssss. Just back from watching the game in the pub. Fantastic atmosphere. Am over in the UK at the weekend with tickets for the Stoke game – can’t wait.
    WE ARE TOP THE LEAGUE, SAY, WE ARE TOP THE LEAGUE.

    My daughter was lucky enough to be at the Grove tonight (first time without me) … so relieved on so many levels!

  1437. goonermichael says:

    We are top of the league
    say
    We are top of the league

  1438. Gooby says:

    the FA will surely ban gallas, it will serve chavs and mancs profits for the matchs ahead

  1439. Keyser says:

    That tackle was a bad one, it wasn’t completely reckless was a bit late and mistimed, I think gallas even tried to pull out once he realised, kind of.

    He didn’t leave the ground, it wasn’t two footed and the FA need to remind everyone that it’s up to the ref to stop play, he was standing about 7 yards away and saw the whole thing.

  1440. nn says:

    what a great night

  1441. David says:

    Big R

    Gracious as always…that last bit of statement warmed my heart mate!

    Thank the lord he made me a gooner!

    Keyser

    Well said man…if we win the league it would be more than well deserved…fact that we cant seem to get a penalty no matter what is a disgrace.

  1442. BigRaddy says:

    LOL Wrighty7

  1443. Stu says:

    It will be ridiculous if Gallas gets a ban because the referee played on. He got it wrong so ban him..not Gallas.

  1444. SUGA3 says:

    the FA won’t ban him, knowing that they did fuck all about what that fucker did to Cesc in the last game…

  1445. nn says:

    what a great night for gunners fans

  1446. Stu says:

    Seeing as its an Arsenal player with the offence then he probably will be banned Suga.

  1447. ManGoonian says:

    Keyser;

    It was mistimed IMO. Not malicious and the ref saw it. However, by tomorrow lunch time, it will be a huge effin deal and I will be effin pissed off if SSN and their lackies dont try and whip up a shit storm for Gallas…

  1448. Wrighty7 says:

    You’ve done yourself up BR! ;)

    Let me ask you all;

    If John Terry did what Gallas did would there be an issue with the so-called experts?

  1449. Mr B says:

    anyone got a link to the manager interviews\

  1450. simon mcmahon says:

    The thing is and all these so called expert pundits are forgetting is that we have 5 players, form our probable starting squad out , including our two main strikers , our starting holding midfielder, a staring wide midfielder ,and we are still in the hunt we are the top scorers in the league as,well.
    take shrek, berbatov,carrick,giggs, out of the manc’s team,
    drogba, anelka, fat frank, esseien out of the chavs team and see how well they would fare.
    SO COME ON ALL YOU FLEET STREET, MANC HACKERS GIVE US SOME RESPECT.

  1451. patthegooner says:

    What a night.

    My Internet went on the blink earlier and I knew I would get a shit stream on my 3g Dongle.

    So avoided all media contact until the highlights on SS at 10pm

    Fucking hell what a rollercoaster. I am both relieved and gutted that I did not get to see it live.

    Not going to talk about anyones performances as you dont get the whole picture purely on highlights, so will leave that for the rest of you.

    But happy with Wenger’s comments about the foul and he is right. Look at the behaviour of both teams over the two games and it shows that if your team are going to kick, then they are going to get kicked. I know the lad is badly injured, but it was not intentional. Gallas have given the Arsenal hating media a get out of jail free card there. Instead of praising Arsenal not just for coming back last night, but also from the Chavski result, they now get to replay the tackle every 5 mins on SSN…Cunts the lot of them.

    Well Done Arsenal, fucking well done.

    And imagine if we had a clinical striker!!!!!!!

  1452. Stu says:

    Im secretly happy about the tackle. Not happy that he broke his ankle or whatever but its nice to see us fighting back and getting a dubious goal when we are seen as goody-goody team that is all about fairness.

    We were cunts there tonight and its refreshing to see us standing up for ourselves…or something like that.

  1453. ManGoonian says:

    Suga3;

    It would once again show up the bias that prevades the FA, premier league and the media IF Gallas gets done for what was, a slightly mistimed tackle.

    Wankers like Tony gale, shooting their retarded mouths off about how gallas didnt even try and win the ball dont help matters, obviously… But he has always been a cunt…

  1454. Johan says:

    Not a word on Diaby’s possible injury on the match report at Arsenal.com

  1455. Gooby says:

    experts lol, we on le grove are experts, they are just guys giving there opignon

  1456. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Alright fuck faces. New we’d save that! :D

  1457. Hat-trick Hero says:

    Simon Mcmahon, i hear you mate, but it won’t happen.
    The hacks are shit. The love of manure is to great. lol.

  1458. tonyadamsisgod says:

    I mean ‘knew’…..

  1459. patthegooner says:

    Gallas will be banned for that though, of that you can be sure. There will be a media man hunt of Osama Bin Laden proportions tomorrow.

    In fact there will be a Reconstruction of it on Crimewatch next week.

    SOL get your boots on.

  1460. Stu says:

    Yeah i remember that as well MG.

    That fucker commenting saying that Gallas didnt go for the ball he just went for the ankle.

    WHat a right fucking cunt. How can he possibly think that when Gallas has never before made a tackle like that. If Essien (of old) or Barton did it then fair enough but what gives him the right to just say Gallas went in to injure Davies and think his word is fact.

    Wrighty, if JT made that tackle they would excuse it as a full blooded english style committment tackle from the england slipper.

  1461. patthegooner says:

    Diaby Injured…..Fuck

    Do you think that will make him buy someone, or is it time for Ray Parlour?

  1462. Marko says:

    The thing about the Gallas challenge was that in real time it didn’t look like anything really and even in the replay you clearly see the ball in close proximity which means he made a genuine attempt to get the ball but of course that won’t be highlighted just like that cunt Taylor’s hair pull and knee across Cesc’s neck wasn’t highlighted. I even had a man poo mate on talking shite about how that challenge is comparable to what happened to Eduardo, bloody joke really when in one incidence one was close to the ball while Taylor wasn’t even close to the ball.

  1463. Stu says:

    How did Diaby get injured? MY stream was a bit iffy and didnt see it.

  1464. BigRaddy says:

    MG. I too had the misfortune to listen to Tony Gale. The man is a complete idiot. His use of English is appalling, he has very little idea of tactics, he clearly dislikes Arsenal, and he always looks to be controversial. No wonder he writes in the Sun.

    I can only assume that he is cheap.

    Why can’t we have someone entertaining, say Iain Holloway or tactically aware like GG. Not some West Ham knob jockey

  1465. Gooby says:

    fabregas opening up the bolton defence to the equaliser, a magical moment!!!

  1466. Ritesh says:

    Come on Coyle, the challenge of Gallas was just a tad late. If anything he was clumsy, its part of the game.

  1467. Marko says:

    The defending on the first goal was bad though but we’ve hugely improved defensively this season, at least we can all agree on that.

  1468. BigRaddy says:

    PTG. Not a bad idea, the Romford Pele would really fit int this team

  1469. trindle says:

    It wasn’t that long after the Gallas tackle and Cesc’s goal that Bolton had a man down outside our box … and were keen to play on.

  1470. ManGoonian says:

    There’s no effin way Wilshire is goin to that shower of shite team…. No fuckin way…

  1471. Marko says:

    Don’t send Wilshere there they’ll break his legs

  1472. Stu says:

    AGree and disagree Marko. As a unit we have improved but statistically (goals conceded) we have become much worse. But most of that if down to individual errors and ALmunia.

  1473. Pedro says:

    NN, you can be unbanned providing you behave.

  1474. Hat-trick Hero says:

    Did i hear that dick Coyle right, its more of an assault than a challenge? WTF! A team that is known for its brutality moaning like bitches, haha ha.

  1475. Mr B says:

    TAIG is that an invitation to fuck ur face??? u like it cuz ur NEW to it??? :|

  1476. ManGoonian says:

    Well, IF the media lead FA try and ban Gallas, then as long as we appeal, ask for a personal hearing till after the chav game, I dont really give a shit….

    You can bet they will try and get him done before those games though..

    Right, off now…

    Fucking brilliant! Top of the league and we were up against it tonight, more our own doin than the oppo, but we came back, showed great character and scored the goals that not only won us the game, but put us ahead of the chavs and mancs…

    WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!!
    :D :lol: :D :lol:

  1477. Pedro says:

    You’re out the box now.

  1478. Gooby says:

    hate the mancs, (just expressing myself).

  1479. Doublegooner says:

    Top of the League…..

    Fuck Knows how with that useless waste of space Denilson. he & Diaby are so ordinary. Dont let anyone say it ‘was never in doubt’ !!

    Yes lets be happy we overcame those horrible kicking northern revolting cunts.

    We need to tough Central ball winning one with height Midfielders…..NOW….Plus a striker.

    No way must Wenger let Jacky boy go there.

  1480. ManGoonian says:

    Bolton complainging about unfair challenges is music to my ears…. poetry…. Love it! Karma baby…

  1481. maurya says:

    I don’t think so FA is going to ban Gallas. I heard FA big boss is a staunch Arsenal supporter. I am assuming that, big guys in FA and EPL cirle should have understand Arsenal is the sound club standing compared to other big 3. We are the ones have money.

    Clichy had a good game comparing with the performance of Lee. Lee had a blinder against Traore in first game. Clichy kept him quite in this game.

  1482. Marko says:

    I dunno Stu, I don’t know about the stats I just see that Vermy, Gallas, and Song are all having good seasons, Sagna is doing well too and if we can get Clichy and or Gibbs back and playing well then it’s all good. I’d still back Fabianski getting a run in the sticks but what ever. Vermaelen signing of the season.

  1483. Johan says:

    Stu

    It was in the last ten minutes or so, Diaby wasn’t even in the action and made a signal for a change… Then they zoomed in on him holding his hamstring and Eastmond was sent in.

    I’d bet my left kidney he’ll be out for the whole spell of big games coming up, and who can we put in for him?

    Eastmond? JET? I dunno. Got a bad feeling about it, he’s our own first team player with any major physical presence on the pitch atm.

  1484. ManGoonian says:

    Laters Suga3 mate…

  1485. Doublegooner says:

    Isnt it interesting that a player like Tommy ‘I love im’ Vermaelen goes into challenges like a proper man should, & doesnt get injured – unlike most of the others who do the opposite & repeatedly get hurt !!

  1486. metronome says:

    Anyway know what Arsene said after?

  1487. Mr B says:

    About the tackle, I remember JT putting in an ugly tackle on a player worthy of a red card. Im not sure he even got red carded. The commentators laughed it off saying it was the norm back in his day.

  1488. Marko says:

    Yeah Metro he was defending his players

  1489. goonermichael says:

    Doublegooner
    It was never in doubt :)

  1490. Stu says:

    Yeah Marko, our defenders are all having good seasons but i think its all down to the keeper. We concede about a third of shots on target. Thats pretty shit and Almunia has been the main keeper all season. Mannones few games in charge cant have made the stats that bad..

  1491. ManGoonian says:

    Doublegooner;

    Are you an Arsenal fan?

    Just curious why you feel the need to slate Arsenal players.

  1492. Gooby says:

    looks like the smalling reports are true, that little awkward smile tells us a lot about it

  1493. metronome says:

    Smalling deal looks on, normally he would flat out deny any contact

  1494. Doublegooner says:

    ManGoonian:

    I’ve been supporting The club since 1997, of course I’m a fan.

  1495. SUGA3 says:

    yes, Almunia is not a league winning keeper, but I guess it cannot be judged just on pure numbers: one shot is different from another – both tap ins and 40 yarders are shots on target ;)

    mind you, he’s been piss poor a few times…

  1496. Gooby says:

    eastmond is showing signs of a future good player for us

  1497. AndAPrayer says:

    Watching that Wenger inteview we have so made an enquiry about Smalling. He couldn’t stop smirking, loved his quick tack on the end of “or any other club”.

  1498. Stu says:

    WHich Wenger interview is that AndAPrayer? Could you post a link..

  1499. Mr B says:

    Owen Coyle is still from the sore from the spanking the Away Fans gave him! Could tell from his interview

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

  1500. goonermichael says:

    From that interview I’d be really suprised if we didn’t get Smalling.

  1501. Tariq says:

    What do you guys think about Smalling? I only saw him once for a few mins, and sadly it was when he scored an own goal in the Chelsea game lol. Not taking that away from him, as anybody can score an own goal. You lot think he would be a good signing if it happened?

  1502. Mr B says:

    Personaly Tariq! Id feel Safer with my Granny playing CB than Silvest.

  1503. ardentgooner says:

    why isnt anyone mentioning the tackle from behind on Arshavin….. ???

  1504. Mr B says:

    Even if we get him its for the long run. In the short term Sol will cover and well probably get Norvit back next season.

  1505. Tariq says:

    LOL! I hear you on that one!

  1506. Johan says:

    Wenger after the game;

    “Diaby has a calf strain, from a kick he got at Bolton on his calf. He went into the game with a stiff calf already and he didn’t survive. I don’t know how long he will be out. You have to check with him because you see more on the scan, so we have to be cautious.”

  1507. Mr B says:

    Because everythings fair when u play the Arsenal. Everyone knows were the best team in England for a long time. Thats why everyone gives our opposition every handicap they can.

  1508. Gooby says:

    diaby is injured, the same old story once again

  1509. Johan says:

    yup, we loose one or two players every game.

  1510. Gooby says:

    soon we’ll be playing eastmond, merdia, jet, vela and theo against the mancs and the chavs it it stands like this ow i forgot silvestre 8)

  1511. AngeAusArsenal says:

    cheer-up Gooby, you can worry about that later.

  1512. AngeAusArsenal says:

    Yeah with a few more injuries and pessimism Arsene might even sign you as a striker

  1513. AngeAusArsenal says:

    Gooby that is

  1514. Gooby says:

    AAA-

    i am cheering up mate, can’t be happier at the moment. was a performance. scoring 4 after being 2 nil down is chamions stuff :)

    i hope diaby makes it to the villa game, we need him. and if we are lucky we get song back this week and nasri earlier than expected..

  1515. zak says:

    Just got in from the game, we were dreadful for the first 35 mins after that we dominated. Not seen any replays of the Gallas challenge yet, however watching it live nothing wrong with it as far as I could see and the ref obviously agreed. People won’t like this but Kevin Davies was was superb in the air tonight and held the ball up really well, on this evening performance only far better than Bentner, however Bendy has time on his side.

  1516. Gooby says:

    zak- talking about the first 35′, the team hasn’t had the best starts since a while (RvPs injury i would say) we always stuggle to get into them and play our football.

    the problem should be fixed for the 4 big games comming. if we get the 12 points imo we’ll have a hand on the title already

  1517. Lou says:

    Did Everton stop playing when Denilson went down injured? Just saw the Cesc penalty incident on TV and it was certainly another penalty to add to those that weren’t given on Sunday. Didn’t look it at the time though. Guess what? Owen Coyle didn’t see any of them. I thought the crack about our lack of sportsmanship was a bit unwise and spiteful though.

  1518. [...] Wenger absent from Colney and early press conference, does that mean?… So Pedro heard from his ‘man-in-the-know’ yesterday that Arsene was not at training and did his press [...] [...]

  1519. Goonerman says:

    They can have Wilshere on loan and we’ll have Davies on loan until May. He can hold the ball up well; thats about it tho; dunno his age maybe he is a knackered old boy.

  1520. alex says:

    Why sign Smalling when we have Bartley and Ayling coming through?

  1521. A says:

    Because Bartley is at least 2 years away from the first team, Ayling 3!

    Diaby out is a real fucker, massive loss.

    Gotta say thought today had almost a Blackburn feel about it, we could score at any time and were still gonna win at 2-0, though that isn’t to say that I wasn’t very nervous when two down.

    Gallas’ tackle in real time looked to me absolutely horrific, though watching it on the replay now it was definitely a foul, and probably a red, but not as bad as I first thought.

  1522. chozzer says:

    Cunts got what they deserved.

  1523. Nw5 gooner says:

    Back from the stadium. What a game. The boys showed great fight. All of them, even those who weren’t playing at the top of their game. I’ve criticised almunia in the past, and yes of course he has his bad points, but tonight his first half save was brilliant. Kept us in it. Credit where it is due.

  1524. freduardo says:

    disappointing that all trhe talk tomorrow is gonna be about gallas’ tackle.
    it was a bad one, dangerous.
    i also thought davies’ tackle at the very start was a bad one but tv was ok (thankfully).

    also, delighted with Rosickys contribution. he’s had a big 2 games.

  1525. Stu says:

    WHich save was that Mw5? I must have missed that one. I thought they scored both their first 2 shots but my stream was patchy at best.

  1526. A says:

    If Diaby is out for a while tomorrow is a massive day for us, we DESPERATELY need Tunisia to win and give us Song back!

  1527. A says:

    His save from the Taylor free kick was a goodun. Similar to the Piennar one that Given just pushed into the side netting!

    Almunia today was pretty good, commanding from crosses, took a few well under pressure. Had one moment that could’ve been dodgy, running out unnecessarily and almost clattering a defender, I forget who, but overall he was very solid, as he was at their place.

  1528. Stu says:

    Oh yeah that one. It was good but was an expected save imo. Had it gone in it would have been a blunder.

  1529. Stu says:

    How likely is a Tunisia win tomrrow A?

    Its all that shit keepers fault who gave Cameroon the equaliser in the 2nd group match. (cant remember who).

  1530. A says:

    Yeah I agree with that Stu. Good, but if it had gone in it would have been a shocker, though gotta ask questions about the wall actually thinking about it. Shouldn’t be able to get round the wall and get it on target.

  1531. A says:

    Zambia it was, yeah the keeping was ridiculous, one of the worst mistakes I’ve seen!

    Tunisia win is unlikely, but not out of the question. Cameroon have been really terrible in both their first two games.

    Just SO annoying they didn’t lose against Zambia, or even draw, they didn’t look like they could get a goal to save their lives until that howler, then when Zambia got the penalty to equalise I really thought they’d hold out.

    Zambia missed so many chances to go 2-0 up as well.

  1532. A says:

    It’s really annoying – Tunisia are a team that are historically pretty tough to beat. If a drew would put Cameroon out then I’d be very optimistic, but with their needing to win I just can’t see it. Still, even if they get through hopefully Egypt or Nigeria will beat them in the next round

  1533. Stu says:

    Its not fair that Song is so important for us now. Much more so than Chelseas africans or Citys.

    Weak defensive squad options is to blame i guess.

  1534. Stu says:

    Egypt would probably knock them out. They are my favourites to win the whole thing just because of their record in the competition in the last few years. But Ivory Coast just have sich an awesome squad its hard not to see them in the semi at least.

    I just hope Song comes back asap..

  1535. Jay says:

    I didnt get to watch the game, but i was following on ESPN soccernet in the train on the way to work. to my dismay, i see 0-2 on the gamecast… however, for the first time in a long time, i had the confidence in this team to stay unbeaten, but to win it.

    Half time team talk.. what do u all think AW said this time?

    Very proud of the lads, i think the (as much as Arsene talks about it) the belief is there in the player group now, Cesc leading the way.

    anyone know if it is on the sentanta site, so i can watch it when i get home?

  1536. A says:

    I hope so Stu. I’d expect Gabon to beat Zambia, so with Egypt winning their group, that means that if Cameroon get through then they’d face Egypt on Monday. I doubt he’d be back for Villa, but should be ok for Utd at the weekend. Wouldn’t be a disaster.

  1537. A says:

    Cesc was unbelievable again today.

    No idea if it’s on setanta Jay, 101 great goals should have some highlights though.

    For the last 10-15 mins of the first half was really started to turn it on, so I don’t think the half time bollocking would’ve happened as it would’ve if we’d been 2-0 down and still playing pants.

  1538. Jay says:

    Yea my log on details are at home.. ill check it then.

    Yea i can’t really watch those videos at work – for some reason 101 doesnt show all vids properly – i cant wait to see them.

    one of the best games, and they dont show it on Fox sports – anyone have an answer to that yet? is it that they dont show one – two games per team or soemthing?

  1539. A says:

    I’m in England so can’t help Jay! It wasn’t on TV over here though I don’t think. Could be because it was postponed originally.

  1540. Stu says:

    I cant believe the boring pool-spud match was on TV instead of out spectacular comeback. Its a diabolical shame! Regardless of the same match being on a the weekend our match was far more important than the battle for 4th!

  1541. Jay says:

    A**holes – i can’t believe they wouldn’t schedule a tv slot for it.

    perhaps what i read was true, they didnt want the media to watch the revenge tackling that we were to produce that night..hahah

    i.e – enter gallas

  1542. Jay says:

    Agree Stu. they had a boring game..

    btw, any1 think Liverpool are out of the top 4 race still… this was an important 3 points for them being tores/geradless

  1543. ethangunner says:

    interestingly enough CESC – TV05 – AA – and rosicky

    our top 4 players on the pitch are our scorers ,
    if that doesnt tell you something that quality brings to the table then i dont know what does ?!

    losers this round to replace

    DENILSON

    dudu

    ive got to say im liking diaby more after that game what a fuckin bully !

    he pretty much removed 2 of there players thru injury ! gotta love it ..
    Ill remind you all to not get your hopes up too high the real test is the 4 tough ones .

    but its fuckin nice to be ‘plastic’ and see us on the top of the table :)

  1544. A says:

    Gotta say at the time I thought it looked terrible, couldn’t believe the ref didn’t give a foul! Not as clear cut as I thought on replay, but still reckon should’ve been a ref, and an obvious foul.

    The ref was terrible today, so many fouls by Bolton that he just let go, and when he did give them he didn’t book deserved challenges, or systematic cynical fouling by them.

  1545. A says:

    ethan Arshavin was imo the worst player on the pitch in the first half. Improved second half, but still far from his best, and certainly not one of our top 4 players!

    Vermaelen likewise I thought had a poor game by his standards. Davies fouls like anything and gets away with it, but Vermy really couldn’t get anywhere near him.

    Cesc was out of this world though, amazing.

    Rosicky was good, but not amazing imo.

    Eduardo had a pretty good game, linked the play up very well, and was very strong with his back to goal, turned their defenders and created space for the players around him. Scoring boots aren’t there yet, but all round game getting better with every game, and physically looking stronger and stronger.

    Denilson did some very good things, but his tackle for the pen was absolutely terrible, and his passing was off. Just back from injury though, can’t expect him to be totally sharp.

    Almunia didn’t put a foot wrong today.

  1546. ethangunner says:

    I know all you AKB’s would rather be scrambling for 4th spot , complaining about injuries (well you can still do that ! ) marveling at the spread sheets, and saved treasure troved hordes of gate receipt$ in the deep vaults of the board room bowels . But you have to agree its nice to be fuckin FIRST AGAIN isnt it ???

    STAY THIS WAY I ILL STOP COMPLAINING !

  1547. B.B.K says:

    Diaby calf strain doesn’t look good.Cracking win tonight stuck it up those cunts again dirty fucking bolton whores……peace out …….

  1548. A says:

    ethan if we stay where we are, all the “AKB”s have been proved right, and the negatives wrong!

  1549. A says:

    Well said BBK, agree with your post totally!

  1550. ethangunner says:

    A

    we as a team were poor in the 1st half , we almost bottled it !

    AA23 is constantly marked and put under physical pressure he is still coming to terms with !

    A also might i suggest you see who shot the most on goal i should imagine it was him .

    AA23 played a great game .. linked up well enough considering the tactics bolton where using ..

    they pressed us even in defense if you hadnt noticed ..

    AA23 did well in and around the box …
    and unde r the circumstances especially when an older team like that is fresher in the 1st half
    he coped even better .. dudu represents little threat in front of goal they know that ..
    AA is under huge pressure off the ball A …
    think about it ..

    who has been impressive is Cesc !
    and ive got to say my opinion of him has greatly improved .. because he has !
    and its noticeable ..

    Also another thing to note is vela was playing
    pretty well … probably better over 90 minutes than dudu …

    just pointing that fact out !

  1551. ethangunner says:

    A
    we wont stay there !
    COME ON !

    have you learned nothing from me ?

    this team isnt ready yet …
    whilst yesterday was a great come back and we piped the 2 goals needed was the cherry ..

    you cannot deny AT HOME in the 1st half they lead and deserved too really !

    a game of 2 halfs yes ..
    but remember they are a team sitting 19th ..
    and we struggled ..

    please get a grip !

    even you would look like the karate kid if matched up against a toddler !

    once this team can get 9 + points from the villa – pool – man U – chev’s games coming up then ill jump on board your delusional bus !

  1552. A says:

    ethan im Arshavin was VERY poor first half.

    Nothing to do with being marked etc. In situations where he had loads of time and space, and obvious passes on, he was just getting them wrong. Poor decision making at times, but even when he made the right decisions, he was just off his guage, couldn’t get the right weight on passes, under or over hit the majority of them.

    Eduardo had a good game today, almost scored with one over the bar, and a good chance after a Cesc run. His link up play is superb, and he’s getting into goalscoring positions, as well as creating chances for others. He set up Arshavin’s goal too.

    IMO Eduardo > Arshavin today.

    Arshavin did a couple of good things, backheel for Cesc shot, and the turn at the end was amazing, though the failure to pass for a Theo tap in was attrocious, and incredibly selfish.

    His touch and passing was just very off today, which is a pity.

    I agree about Cesc, he’s become pretty unplayable. If he leads us to the title and Champs League, Spain win the world cup too he has to be in with a shout of world player of the year!

    Ronaldo is getting alot of stick at Madrid, though I guess Messi will still be very tough to beat.

  1553. A says:

    I wouldn’t say they deserved it at all ethan, two chances, two individual mistakes, and two goals.

    We certainly weren’t at our best, but still dominated the play, and created many more chances than them.

    I didn’t think we really struggled. As with the Blackburn game early in the season, it felt like we were always going to win, though the atmosphere was a bit cagey at 2-0 down.

  1554. ethangunner says:

    also the run at the end 1 on 1 with the keeper AA23 showed great smarts on goal he didnt pull the trigger too early like most of our lads would.

    he is fuckin class !

    unlucky but still got another to add to the tally.
    would cesc – AA – rosicky look as powerful against the chev’s midfield ..

    i fuckin doubt it ..

    more class is needed to beat them with regularity , and thats what its all about A ,
    over the long term this team needs to dominate ,
    not be more consistent beating the shit teams more so than anyone else WINNING by going around the back door .. wenger can capitalize this season on a league fuck up , the playing field has leveled out and we so far be it fixtures WE have capitalized the best so far from it ..

    we do have a large squad ,not sure you would class them all EPL standards but wenger does have options .. he just has to get these options RIGHT NOW !

    and if he doesn’t strengthen we wont get thru the next 4 games unscathed ! i will bet you A ,
    history is on my side .. and this side whilst much improved , haven’t turned into supermen yet .

    we do have 4 or 5 supermen , 6 ,7 or 8 would be better …
    starting with a new keeper or at least give fab2 a run ! it has to happen soon !

    big al cant keep 2 clean sheets on the trot ..

  1555. ethangunner says:

    A

    dudu DID NOT HAVE A GOOD GAME ..

    if you call missing from point blank GREAT then ok .. and his past few games have really highlighted problems …

    if he did so well wenger wouldnt have sub’d him in both games ..

    well maybe he would if he scored but he hasnt .
    and A everyone in the team can pass !

    A STRIKER NEEDS TO SHOOT !

    - like cesc or AA 23

    dudu reminds me of reyes good technically but gets lost within the team .. and doesnt shine enough considering the hype !

    vela deserves a chance and common sence should see him or nik b partner AA next time round .

    Looks like that cunt coyle is trying to get gallas a ban

    ———————–

    But Arshavin was great even though he blew a 1 on 1, and missed a pass to walcott…? Come on Ethan.

  1559. luke says:

    Not to mention Dudu had two or three defenders on him in a crowded box and the ball was relatively out of reach for his chance…He had to hit the ground to get a shot off

  1560. Mo says:

    It was funny reading through the posts from the start of the game till the end.

    Some of you are cute.

    I think I’m in love.

    I think I’ll fuck off to the hole I crawled out of now.

  1561. tonyadamsisgod says:

    Denilson was fucking terrible tonight. Cast iron fact.

  1562. luke says:

    First game back from injury for denilson, he was off no denying

  1563. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Mo

    I stand by my comments about Denilson re his 1st half. He was irresponsible. Whether that is a trait he has coz he still needs to grow up is debateable. But, if you cast your eye over this blog 2 years ago you will see the same sort of stuff being written about him as per the 1st half v Bolton was written.

    But the boy became a man in the 2nd half, appeared to concentrate on the task @ hand & bingo the desired result was achieved. I bet Le Gaffer would have given him a rocket @ half time, would that make AW fickled ;)

    Iread through the 1st half comments again, & I know I can hold my head up, I just hope that Arsene Wenger will be holding The Cup up in May.

  1564. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Anyway, I’ve had a bloody good day dining out on that win/going top, I’m not going to hang around if todays post is going to be dominated by “do gooders” who only come out of their closets when things are going well, just to say a Gooner is not worthy coz he is passionate enough to question the The Club he loves.

    But before I go I’d like to thank Izham for the veetle link, it worked a treat for me. Cheers mate.

  1565. Pat says:

    Denilson actually made a cracking, brutal (but fair) tackle int eh 2nd half, as soon as Eastmond came on. I thought it was the young englishman at first.

    Denilson was good in the 2nd half. The whole team played well from the 38th minute and onward

  1566. bnsb says:

    Sabeel,

    If you did not know already:

    Villa match is live on Star Sports Thursday :mrgreen:

  1567. ethangunner says:

    Mo

    fuck off back to ACLF ..
    twats .

  1568. ethangunner says:

    MO,

    most of us still dont think we can finish top .
    and lets face it the chev’s are level on points and 1 game ahead . we would be as stupid as someone from ACLF , if we believed this is the way the table will look at the finish of the year ..

    so really its JUST A MOMENT THING ! …
    but its a moment to savor .

    the NEXT 4 games are the real test ..
    Mo if we get 12 points from those 4 games
    ill kiss your ass !

    but i tell ya what if we dont, YOU CAN FUCKIN KISS MINE !

    i know which is more likely …

    you think we can win a title with almunia in goal ? GIMME A FUCKING BREAK !

  1569. stonroy says:

    I said I don’t think we have enough to win the league, I stand by it. Bolton had more chances than I care to mention, Bolton ladies and gentleman, that means in the hands of better teams this could have been a different story. I know that people are going to slate me for it, but I want to win just as much as the next person, I just am not blind to our weaknesses. We need a top striker, Eddie is going to take some time and a new goalkeeper, if we can get a bone cruncher in midfield I will be happy. Get those and we can win. End of.

  1570. stonroy says:

    Ethan brilliantly said :)

  1571. bnsb says:

    Mo if we get 12 points from those 4 games

    Realistically,

    Three wins and a draw would be an excellent result.

  1572. AA23 says:

    Ethan
    I love you.

  1573. ethangunner says:

    AA23

    I love you too!

  1574. Denilson says:

    Morning all…

    Are we on top of the league? Yes, Yes We Are!!

  1575. ethangunner says:

    At least i have an opinion .

    i dont see you EVER having one ..
    why dont you fuck OFF back to ACLF AA23 where
    you can HAVE NO OPINION AT ALL , your such a huge plonker AA23 , put your fucking money where your mouth is then ..

    you think we are going to win the league dont you ?

    well if your opinion opposes mine it must be the case , so dont think i wont remember come the end of the season what your saying now !

  1576. bnsb says:

    Denilson
    Splitting hair,
    Top of the table yes, league no. Chelsea have a game in hand.

  1577. Denilson says:

    Same difference bnsb :D

    There is no guarantee they’ll win their game in hand

  1578. ethangunner says:

    bnsb

    realistically 10 points would probably be enough .
    but you know what im saying BNSB ,
    the mountains are still ahead of us to climb .

    its a bit soon to start penciling our names in dont you think ?

    we barely beat bolton ….
    perspective is required now ..

    and some luck ..

  1579. bnsb says:

    No guarantee that they will beat us either. We beat them, proverbial thing will hit fan.

    Same difference bnsb :D

    —————————–
    the likelihood is they will ..

    its vs birmingham ..

    go figure ..

  1581. bnsb says:

    eg

    Yes, I am as scared at the enormity of task. Lets see. Having said that Villa is another Bolton game, must pack them.

  1582. ikon says:

    dont know what Coyle is so pissed about.
    His team lost by 2 goals and not one. So asusming Gallas had been cautioned and we didnt have that goal he still would have lost. Maybe the little bit of phase difference introduced as a result might have enabled Arshavin to make that pass to Theo.

  1583. Geoff says:

    Boys, now then, we are top of the league, stop arguing!

  1584. ethangunner says:

    ikon

    i suppose going on boltons past he has no right at all to complain , they usually leave us with a list of walking wounded after each fixture .

    its good to return the favor , and see the kids hold there own and dish it out !

    4 a change .

  1585. Denilson says:

    Ethan,

    Yes Birmigham, the team which was like on 13 games unbeaten run so the most likelihood result is a draw.

  1586. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Is that Mo geezer from A Cultured Left Foot. Who let him on here ;) Geoff, it wasn’t you was it?

  1587. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    I see Prince Willy is going to buy some digs in Sydney. I guess he could reign over Blighty from down in the sunshine. & will be able to watch The Arsenal live on Fox. What more could he want :cool:

  1588. bnsb says:

    Its a Chelsea home game. They have lost none, drawn one and won 10 at home.

  1589. Denilson says:

    It’s going to be there 2nd draw then… :D

  1590. bnsb says:

    Or first home defeat :twisted:

  1591. Denilson says:

    Yeah Yeah Yeah! Now You’re Talking :twisted:

  1592. Gooby says:

    bns- and then?? we can still beat them

  1593. bnsb says:

    Gooby,

    silly, second home defeat and we will be unambiguously TOP of the Table and the League

  1594. ethangunner says:

    the chev’s play burnley – hull – and birmingham .

    next .. not exactly hard to get all 9 points there ….

    ours on the other hand ..

    DONT you get it … ive seen horn blowers fail all the time .. stop fucking jinxing us !

    we are top , its good but..

    wenger almost lost that game last night if not for our most experienced players to save our bacon in the 2nd half ..

    he needs to focus on a goal keeper asap and striker ..

  1595. ethangunner says:

    Yes Birmigham, the team which was like on 13 games unbeaten run so the most likelihood result is a draw.
    ————————–
    if you think so ….

    but the likely hood IMO is 3 points chev’s ..
    you have to understand at this time in the season the games get more predictable and the big clubs pull out the stops to get results ..

    id like the chev’s to not win another game all season , but whats the likelihood of that ?

  1596. Geoff says:

    Don’t worry boys, Mo won’t be back, Ethan and AA23, good to see you guys have made up!

  1597. Irishgunner says:

    WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO its been two years or something like that, about bloody time

    Not gonna happen. And if it happens we will have 800 posts a day less :roll:

  1602. Geoff says:

    Denilson deserved everything he may have got last night on the blog, I was at the game and was staggered by how bad he was, yes he improved, but it’s not good enough, he could have cost us.

  1603. Geoff says:

    Fuck knows why you were all in moderation? I’ll keep checking.

  1604. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    Top of the League. Its still sinking in. I need to see the goals again, I’m off to 101 great goals, will be back soon.

  1605. Denilson says:

    Now I know there is a conspiracy against me!

  1606. Denilson says:

    Jeez, now my comments don’t appear :cry:

  1607. ethangunner says:

    it seems fixed now Geoff ..

    yes AA23 is a bit of a Pratt ,i wont take that shit from a commoner :)

    At least have an opinion to back some sort of argument ! dont just heckle someone for being honest with there own fans , on an arsenal blog ..

    he is just like a wild dog ..
    its good to know i get under his skin :)

    But you would think im going to a chev site and saying arsenal have shite players ..
    with the reaction from him .

    if i cant come here and say almunia and denilson where shit last night then were should i say it ?

  1608. Geoff says:

    I don’t know why this is happening???

    The Galindo hoax was created by the same people who invented the Masal Bugduv character fake player last year.

    Unbelievable game. Fantastic.
    Must have a moan. Some people with season tickets are wankers. Drove up yesterday to see game (450 mile round trip). Posted on here to find tickets. Nothing doing. Fair enough. Pedro put me on to AISA. Nothing doing. Fair enough. None of my mates with season tickets had a spare. Fair enough. This is the first time in my life I have not been able to get a ticket. Fair enough. THEN. I see empty seats. Why do these wankers not have mates desperate to see a game. Why can’t they be arsed to put them into one of the ticket exchanges? These are the ‘fans’ I really can’t stand.
    I am also really jealous that I missed such a great match!

    the game as a spectacle was great , huge come back by our awesome 4 some . got the 2 goals needed , a fairy tale ending ..
    (but it isnt the end !)

    ALSO remember we were at home , playing one of the bottom teams . and we were 2 nil down in the 1st half …

    if that doesn’t ‘worry’ any real fan in the back of your mind then OK ….

    i dont like counting chickens ..
    however it seems plenty on here do ..

    you end up with egg on your face , if history is anything to go by ..

    i want to buck the trend and STAY ON TOP also ..
    but too soon to crow yet …

    get thru the next 4 games with our lions share of points then ill warrant your jubilation .

    i hope this year is different ..

    and im screaming for my team to prove me wrong !
    but if arsene buys all is forgiven , he has given himself the best possible chance for success ..

    if he doesnt it proves the aspiration was never really there to begin with ..

    just a top 4 finish with the C.L in mind ..

    Some weird things happening on the site this morning, either that or i’m definitely still pissed from last night!

    Now is the time to stop, savour, reflect, but by tomorrow, it will time for all to prepare for the mother of all months. If The Arsenal can prevail in the coming 2-4 weeks, it will be sweet times clean clear to Flag Town, Chamoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeski

  1655. Geoff says:

    Grovers every cunt is going into moderation and I don’t know why, Pedro is in bed and not answering his phone or email so I can’t help I’m afraid.

  1656. AA23 says:

    Pedro and Geoff are on a high!
    they scored some brown off of Ethan And Chozzers, Crack Whore wives, they have been punting those filthy cunts out in canning town for that last 6 years, and making a fortune while they do it.
    Le grove is just a cover for their nasty mother fucking ways.
    And thats Why le grove is the best Arsenal site.
    Top of the league
    Top of the league
    Ethans Black “wife” is top of the {anal} league!
    happy editing!

  1657. AA23 says:

  1658. gnarleygeorge9 says:

    I’m sticking to my pre season prediction that The Cup will be paraded down the Islington High Street to the Town Hall.

  1659. chozzer says:

  1665. arsenal4richerorpoorer says:

    I have been trying for quite awhile, and it still wont let me….what is going on with your post Pedro?

  1666. Sam says:

    Myles Palmer is saying now that Dzeko was there at the Emirates yday.

  1667. dennisdamenace says:

    Pedro – I blow off in your general direction!

  1668. AA23 says:

    Dzeko was at The Emirates today.
    My mate is Mersons cousin and Winterburn has been mouthing off about it.

  1669. SUGA3 says:

    morning y’all ;)

    I LOVE YOU ALL :lol:

  1670. RVP says:

    Imagine a Friday morning surprise oe Dzeko, Smalling and Song back. I’ll keep dreaming I suppose.

  1671. Harry Barracuda says:

    “I was with a Vice President and sponsor of Chavski yesterday, and he told me the EPL had the rights to the perimeter advertising and that is one reason they give so much money to teams, so that answers one of my ‘how can they afford to do it’ questions.”

    Well he was talking out of his fucking arse.

    Bolton are no more pushovers… other teams will get to know that.
    In fact they have been magically transformed.

    Attacking wise it was a treat to watch, but the scoreline looks a bit more appeasing to them , I thought the penalty was sloppy play from Denilson.

    The only concern for me is the team still looks rugged at the start for most games, still they need a wakeup call. Had it been chelsea, it would have been 80 percent game over with the first goal itself. They are so good at shutting the doors on you.

    Performance wise no complains tho after the first 20 mins.

  1673. Pedro says:

    ArseShaven, I think people from foreign shores struggle to understand that a national press will have an affiliation with national players.

    It’s not racism, it’s just how it works… the world over.

  1674. Pedro says:

    Harry Barracuda, what would you know, really?
