Given our track record against the two above us this season I should have no hope whatsoever, however being the eternal optimist and trusting in the talent we have to realise at some point this season, I think I have the answer.
We need to bully them a bit at the back, to do that we need some height, to get that we need Diaby back in the middle and Bendtner back to his best.
Those two can be a handful and if he plays Diaby in midfield we can push them through the pitch, leave Song to take care of potato head and we have them through the middle, if not then play them both up front (Bendtner/Diaby) and surprise them, either would work.
Now I suggested the other day he puts Vermaelen into the midfield alongside Cesc and Song and drop Campbell next to Gallas at the back, that’s still my first option, we all know he won’t do that though.
So let me try a team that he is more likely to go with, it cannot include Denilson, he is simply a liability, yes maybe one day he’ll come good, after all Song did, but we can’t afford to carry anyone on Sunday, and given that all three goals were down to him, it’s time to man up and drop him for a couple of seasons, hey, send him out on loan.
This isn’t my choice, it’s my suggestion mixed with what I know he’ll do, so 50/50.
Almunia
Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy (wrong mix)
Song Cesc Diaby
Rosicky Bendtner Arshavin
Then use Ramsey as the alternative midfielder and Nasri and Theo up top. As I said Vermaelen could go into midfield with Diaby behind the front line, and Campbell would slot in at the back, the balance would be better then and we could protect the inconsistency of our wandering full backs.
I would also consider Theo for impact, he’s way too good to be bad and he will be back, he is my wizard and one day he will light up and score 5 in one match, I went through the same patch Theo, Ian Rush and I had both gone 10 games without a goal, we both scored on the same day and after that, normal service was resumed, Ok, Rush did his at Anfield, but my back heel at Wanstead flats was every bit as good.
Wellington still does not appear to have signed for us according to some reports, odd that, he must be on the longest trial period in history, I think he has signed, he must have spoken to Denilson who would have said join mate, you get paid when you play rubbish and you never ever lose your place! Do that silly head wobble, like a halfwit, Wenger really likes that, I do it all the time, like a court Jester, it creases him up!
We still have a way to go until we play the chavs so we’ll no doubt talk more, for any of you that are feeling a bit left out for being the only people in football not to have slept with that bird of Terry’s, …I don’t believe you!
Let’s just hope the 5th chav players is Cashley and his old woman dumps him and his mobile phone for a better more faithful model, that has morals.
Have a great day Grovers, only 5 to go before we can start dreaming of winning guaranteed points again!
P.S. Pedro is going write a little bit about internet freedom of speech online tomorrow, but before he does, I’d appreciate it if you could put your weight behind the Newsnow petition about the right to link.
The Sun, the Times, NoTW and a few others have banned newsnow from linking their stories in their news feeds because they wont pay to syndicate their links (not content). Newsnow is one of the most successful websites in the UK and has had a big hand in making Le Grove the site it was today. Stage one in Newsnows campaign is to stop other sites back linking their content without a charge… that could have serious implications for free content on the web and it could affect how blogs like ours operate.
Click this LINK and put your name down on the petition today, get your friends to as well. Bloggers, commenters, twitterers, facebookers, stalkers, we need to unite for the good of the net. Do something now to fight this process… because before you know it, we’ll be blessing the good old days of the internet because we failed to act.

ha ha duke. Funniest joke
AW’s spot on! The role of captain I’d overstated, especially when you’ve such great leadership on the bench, directing the players, geeing them up, making key tactical changes……..
“Third place is where we stand today, and that is already a great success for Arsenal when you take into account the class of our 11 players,” he added
Ouch Arshavin.. sad but true
Fingers crossed Chippy!!
Chippy – what rumors mate?
May this be the beginning of the end of the russian empire, i look forward to watching every brick fall, one by one
Cheers sixx pac, here is another one:
Wayne Bridge:
“Cappello, Its either me or John”
Good one Wayne, the last time someone had the option to choose between you and John Terry it really worked in your favour.
So Rico, the chant for the away boys on Sunday is “There’s only one England Captain, one England captain…” I’m liking this.
‘team spirit’
‘young team’
oh for fuck’s sake!
Whoosah, motherfucker!!!
Inside these, Heard another one today as well that Chelsea lent him a million pounds to pay of gambling debts allegedly !!
This is Allegedly of course
If True hes fucked couldnt happen to a nicer cunt lol,
- Terry sh@gged a 15yr old
- Joe Cole knew about the original girl
- Most have Chelsea have sh@gged Carly Zucker
- Essien, Lampard & Cole have all shagged this girl
BIG ONE
- Terry has been doing massive football accumulators including games he is playing in…..
AND
1. JT has been sh@gging another current team mates wife who has kids and are still together.
2. he owes Wembley a substantial amount of money for a Box he owns and hasn’t paid for even after he had mates in there racking up a 20k bill at the FA cup final!
3. 2 other chelsea players where slamming Bridges mrs around the same time as terry.
The Man City v Chavs game should be an interesting one to watch.
Absolutely chary, you fill your boots, thats if he plays after this
SUGA3,
He didnt come out with them classics again did he hes either going senile or really doesnt think the fans are pissed at the mo
Chippy – cant wait for this weekends edition of the Sunday papers, fingers crossed, I hope they hang him out to dry. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer cunt.
I don’t get it really, John ‘Thomas’ Terry is such an ugly man…
He must just have a way with words or a big….. ego
I’m not going to the bus stop in Fulham Rico but it’s just a suggestion for those away goons. I’m sure he’ll play – remember Bowyer played blinders while he was up for that p@ki bashing years back.
“JT has been sh@gging another current team mates wife who has kids and are still together.”
Hilario.
I bet Cashley is getting worried, It could just be a left back theme…
rico it in the name JOHN THOMAS terry says it all
inside, Lets hope so mate The Times were alluding to the fact they knew more stories were going to be published at the weekend and that Cappello was going to ask him straight if they were true, Well maybe weve got the answer
CHIPPY about 1% of that is trye
why does wenger keep making these stupid comments!! its just winding the fans up!!
I am sure every away fan are planning their songs as we type – i love dennis’s earlier about the scouser
Bowyer and the current Spuds centre back(Woodgate) were both up for that P@ki bashing in case anyone has forgotten.

the woman that ttransformed life at chelsea fc
Wouldn’t just make Geoff’s day if Capello gives the armband back to Becks
chary, they were a disgrace and should have been behind bars for a long time… woodgate should never have been allowed to wear the country’s shirt again!!
Chippy,
the term ‘ivory tower’ springs to mind…
SUGA3,
True
12 minutes that meeting between Terry and Capello – maybe if AW ever does go Capello’s our man?
After all, he has managed to get a bunch of over paid Englishmen to play football and win…
err, I think u have the wrong WAG Gooby
SUGA3, you got that link up yet
Make Bridge captian to fuck JT off and also get rid of Cashley.
That stupid cunt martin gayle was talking about john thomas this morning. he’s a fucking wanker
Captain even
isn’t she vanessa perroncel?? that’s her
Fair Play to Cappello, Shame it takes an Italian to show some morals whilst all the sporting press have been sympathetic towards him, Especially that arse licker beasley,
cashley is a cunt.
Nick
The classic question:
Did he jump or….
I didn’t think it was his ego Nick
a 24 carat cunt Gooby
jump i reckon bsnb, sure it would have been a longer meeting otherwise…
no, that’s Abbey Clancy – Crouch’s other half
is it done? terry lost the ambrand?
I think the reason they flogged Woodgate off to Real Madrid Rico was to keep him out of the limelight.
I think Terry will be like Bowyer – too stupid to realise the gravity of his situation and able to play blinders on the pitch. Woodgate was traumatised by the court case on the other hand.
If I was married to mrs john thomas I’d play away. Not with a mate’s wag thogh
rio Ferdinand to replace Terry?
Hahah Terry stripped of the armband is just brilliant. Fucking scumbag!
Whos going to get it now? ANyone who could get it also has problems. Gerrard – thug, Ferdinand – drug cheat, Wazza – granny shagger, thug and all round idiot, Barry – moved for money, Cole – cunt.
Heskey maybe?
Can you believe Sky were given an anon tip about all this Terry stuff, The FA are due to have a press release…
Only Theo is whiter than white. Theo for England captain
No chance, His ego wouldnt allow him to walk and he will lose a lot of cash , hes been tin tacked, Reckon the meeting went
Fabio, John are these new allegations true
Terry, Yes Boss
Fabio, You sacked
12 mins no probs
He really should give it to Bridge
it’s there, rico
Watch the slut…Can she not speak for herself? She is right there..
What are you watching Stu?
12 minutes? Hope it lasted longer than that with Bridge’s Mrs!!
Sky News. Her agent, Max Clifford, made a statement on her behalf..but she was standing right next to him.
chary – the only reason i think it might have an impact on any normal mentality he does have is because of the shedding of so many tears after his slip in the CL final, real men don’t cry on television do they
such dreadful english in that
Hes another fucking parasite that Max Clifford !
But on this one ill forgive him
He’s a slimy one. Very good at what he does but slimy nonetheless
Thanks SUGA3, you are a star
Yeah possibly Rico – it’d be nice to think his game will fall apart now. Do you think he’ll play on Sunday though? I heard he was getting riled by the Hull fans on Tuesday. If he plays I hope the away goons do a dam good job on him. This couldn’t have happened to a nicer species of pond life.
SACKED
Sacked on a friday,you got sacked on a friday,sacked on a friiiday.
Hey, I wonder if Capello’s fellow Italian(Ancellotti) will strip Terry of his Chav captaincy – that would be cool.
Sacked on a friday.
give it to theo!!!!!
all but carrick
some good news BBK
Ancelotti would get hung drawn and quatered if he done that.Terry to get sent of on sunday..
indeed g.m.
There’s a beautiful symmetry to the time line on the Terry situation – last Friday his super-injunction is lifted and exactly a week later he’s stripped of the England armband.
Come on Carlo – do the decent thing and make someone else the Chav skipper !
They’ll still probably batter us thogh BBK
chary, I don’t think he will play, he will be off for a spell in the garden to sort his head out…
Now I like that idea chary, come on Ancellotti, drop him
All those who have fallen victim to John Terry need to get in touch with Katie Price, not Max Clifford!!
Price would make them millionaires overnight, she is a shrew woman with a shrewd agent!
John terry your a cheat
john terry,your mum’s a thief
john terry,your dad deals coke
john terry’s a fucking joke…..
Yeah bbk, whilst breaking one of our player’s legs!
Nah a,eboue will take him out,then he will get up and punch eboue and get sent off
“After much thought I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry,” said Capello in a statement.
Great news!!!!!
The chavs have already stuck by him. Even after he sold tours around their training ground. They probably know he needs the money. If he’s a big gambler it’s possible. he’ll be on big bother like Rodman in 3 years
rico,
so are you, thanks for the link swap
Sacked in 12 minutes,you got sacked in 12 minutes,sacked in 12 minutes
Its quite funny that an Italian (womanisers) has sacked an old English Sh****r
And no that does not read sheep dog
“Dog” does not end in “r” Rico
Bindipped from a Grover to the tune of ‘The Adams Family’
John Terry is a cheater,
His mum is a stealer,
His dad’s a drug dealer
The Terry family
FA Sources claim that Capello made his decision after reading a post on and Arsenal blog called Le grove sometime this week written by a certain Geoff guy
***** an Arsenal blog
Perhaps Capello is a GKB Fran?
capello:”I would like to take this opportunity to thank The FA, particularly Lord David Triesman and Ian Watmore for allowing me to make this decision in my own time and in the best interest of the team.”
for once in his life someone has told him what a cunt he is
When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain and also named a third choice,” he added. “There is no reason to change this decision.
Does this mean ferdinand is going to be the new captain?
To Ancellotti:: “Go on, take the armband off Terry, go on go on, go on go on, go on go on, go on go on, go on go on, go on go on, , go on go on, go on go on, go on go on, go on go on, , go on go on, go on go on…”
What really pees me off –
What does Terry lose – Nothing…
He still gets paid 170k a week for his club, he will still play for England!
The only losers in this are the Bridge family and Terry’s wife and kids… And she won’t divorce him because he earns too much money..
The Terry family wont give a toot, in fact I bet they sell their side of the story to pay all their court fines!!
No Nishanth – Terry will always be the Captain of Vice, not the turtle face. I reckon it’ll be a trhird choice – maybe Lumpus Maximus.
chelsea wherever you may me be..
dont leave your wife with john terry..
his dad deals coke
and his mum steals tea
HE CRIED WHEN HE MISSED A PENALTY
Chelsea wherever you may be dont leave your wife with john terry….
he can not shoot and he can not pass….
but he’ll take your wife up the fucking ass…..
Rico – isnt it always like this though? Whether its John Terry or not, the victims are always the family. But since with this particular bunch I dont think I will feel sorry for any of the adults involved.
terry should retire from football
inside, don’t get me wrong, i don’t give a toot about them either, all i am saying is that he loses nothing – if he isn’t fit to captain his country, he also isn’t fit to wear the shirt…
He should be dropped from the team, that may hurt him.. but then again…
rico
He’ll actually lose some endorsement and other revenue.
I know Rico, but he is important if England want to win the WC.
so plug is captain then
OK I am off, enjoy the Terry Bashing.
gm – good
inside, its hard when you put it like that, but he is still a s***e
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-i-won-t-name-player-we-tried-to-sign?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+arsenal-news+%28News+Feed%29
He really should keep his mouth shut.Yes it is getting really difficult to sign a quality played but there is no excuse for sticking with trash like almunia and denilson
I read somewhere this morning that the England captain gets a £250k bonus.
Anyone know anything about that?
I hate modern English footballers more than I want England to win the world cup. So today is a good day.
Ferdinand? Why is that guy suspended for the moment?
Ahhh, these English players….. We are better with our own Walcott. At least, there is no fuss with him even if he is a crap player.
ritesh,
you just wait ’til he grows up
A Scottish woman walks into her bedroom & finds her husband wanking into his wellie.
“Hamish”she shouts.
“You dirty bastard.”Stop fucking aboot!”
I’m off too for the night, catch you all tomorrow, ejoy your Friday night
wasnt it John Terry saying after the Eduardo fiasco that english players dont cheat
reggie
Sing along ………
Chelseeeeea wherever you may be. Dont leave your wife with John Terry. Cud be worse, he cud be scouse. He’d fuck your wife and then rob your house!!
so jt is shagging everybody’s wife and ashley cole is left back.
SAME OLD TERRY, ALWAYS CHEATING!
Jon terry, terry
Hes all that a cunt should be !
Hes riddled with HIV!
Jon terry,terry
sung to kay sara pardon the spelling!!
Is Nik back tomorrow?
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger cancelled a day off for his Arsenal players ahead of this weekend’s match against Chelsea because he was so angry after Sunday’s 3-1 defeat by Manchester United.
BBC
rico why should he lose anything their are no fines in trial by media noone has died here (maybe his wife inside)lots of pepole have afairs whats new
Great Job Arsene.
You cancelled their day off. Yeah that will show them
Ooh i bet when arsene gets really angry he could almost crush a grape!!
Well done Arsene
if you had cancelled your sunday off , you might have signed someone on the monday . better still , try sign someone at the beggining of Jan !!
what a pathetic , patronising and foolish statement today ,
” i very nearly signed someone , worked all ( last day ) but won,t tell you who .
ah , we pay are money to be treated like fucking idiots . like we believe that .
you really are making us look stupid .
i will , 50/50 . maybe . returning players blah blah ,
i wont , i nearly did ,
pathetic
Jules
I actually felt disgust when I read that…Absolutely shocking.
He’s not even trying to hide it now.
David Villa and Dzeko are not available…but dont worry I almost signed someone! I wont tell you who!
Are u Fucking serious?
Ok its friday…and I was very determined that today was not going to be another day to moan…
But what a ferkcing wind up….Arsene you silly silly Man.
lol i agree jules, wenger should have taken sunday off, left the team without a monday for the utd game, genius
David
I actually feel insulted as a fan , does he really expect us to believe that , furthermore , it is openly admitting incompetence .
imagagine at work , i will get this contract this month and on the last day saying you nearly did and worked the last day of the month to try and do it .
i think everyone would think your a cunt , dont you ?
A
we might have won the game then !
A,
really, he should just STFU – ‘oh, I’ve nearly signed someone’: pathetic!
another ‘nearly’, fuck that – that is the difference between being winners and coming second (first among losers)…
someone commented earlier saying doe`s wenger think we are really that stupid to believe that he had tried to sign someone.the answer to that is yes he doe`s and you can thank the idiots who hang on his every word with vacant looks on their faces whilst playing with their knobs who are also known as akb`s.
I dunno SUGA, maybe when he was asked he should have said that he won’t talk about transfers, rather than saying that, just because of the way some fans would react.
I really, really woke up today thinking he was gonna sort it out and we will be in with a chance against Chavs, gave him the benefit of the doubt and then he goes out spewing the same bullshit…
As Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg would say: ‘I am very disappointed’
poor Arsene A
those press conferences , just so difficult to no what to say .
Not very inspiring arsene saying that was it?feeling more deflated than anything!!
he just thinks we are just a bunch plebs who are only supposed to line his pockets…
giving up his ‘no spending bonus’ would be a start…
Petrovic
I don,t hang on everyword , but I object to AFC being made to look foolish
That Arsene interview was almost contradictory.
‘Everyone says I should buy. But this is not always the answer’
Preceeded by,
‘I tried to buy but I wont tell you who.’
Factor in that we also tried to buy Smalling…well… it’s apparent that buying was the solution for Arsene as well!
I wonder if it was Saha actually, which is why he’s signed new contract now the window’s gone
Pedro
every transfer window is full of contradiction .
oh well , just bought my Wolves tickets , more of my money into the club after so many years
bought yours A ? Petrovic ?
Who cares A
fact is , he has failed and made himself look a fool today .
Pedro is there another a.g.m at the end of the season???
no wonder failure is accepted – some players should have been made an example of long time ago…
Made a fool of himself how jules, by answering questions put to him openly?!
It’s frustrating that we failed to sign anyone, but admitting it isn’t making a fool of the manager, or us. I’d rather that than we were lied to so this sort of reaction didn’t occur.
No not got a wolves ticket unfortunately, can’t afford it atm
There’s one agm a year BBK….
i dont think this squad has enough bullies in the team diaby bretna and song comming think of it flamani was not realy bully either,there that many bullies in prem particualy top 4 except chelsea but liverpool and manu dont have many bullies either expect shreck,so those type players hardest to get.i hope these players come in with the right attitude and are fully commited if not could get ugly
Anyway ,
guys im out for a beer and some dinner with the family now , if so I will go early to get a table , well maybe , its 50/50 , the food in the freezer defrosting is like a new meal , actually im happy with the food i have . i might try and get a beer at last orders but only if its better than what i have in the fridge .
tommorow , I nearly went for a indian but won,t tell you which restauraunt .
FUCK ME !!
Wenger .
I am going for a beer and a nice meal NOW .
thats how it is done /
see ya all
have a good evening
Mr Cool doing a bit of panic bidding then? Ill wonder what will happen at the end of the season when we finish empty handed?
A,
admitting something doesn’t, trying to sell the same crap does, simple as…
Boring. And frustrating.
Actually im in three minds whether to get a indian,mcdonalds,kfc,or a friday kebab,or is that four minds then!!!
he will probably reveal who we were after reggie and say,only if we got that player,could you imagine the possibility’s there fucking endless,but i have faith in my team…
