So I turn on the BBC news this morning at 5.58, eagerly anticipating my quick dose of the news and the ManU appreciation society. So what do I get? 7 minutes of the American oscars, what the hell is that all about, do I care? A bunch of actors, blowing smoke up themselves with their customary annual pat on the back, and the BBC use my money to send out a star struck twit bird, who’s old enough to know better, to report on them. Like we care! It’s embarrassing to let them think we are all as shallow as they are.
Then to top it, the film that wins it, was the biggest load of rubbish I’ve seen for years, the Dirtbox locker, it tries to show that America are the only country in Iraq dismantling bombs, who do they think they are? The only country that wins all the wars, shame on you America. We should leave them alone and send our troops to the Falklands, let them sort out their own mess.
Then they show a bit when the SAS get involved, and you know what, they get killed by the insurgents, not the Americans though, they are way too good. Pukey, pukey.
I watched it with Mrs Bear, she didn’t make the end, she fell asleep, I only watched to the end because I paid for the DVD and won’t be beaten, what a load of vomit making, badly acted and directed crap.
So why does it sum up Broken Britain? Well it shows that even the BBC now consider celebrity above the news, and that my friends is what is wrong.
Terry, Cashley and Beckham all sold various events to the low life trailer trash magazines, I believe, and that shows that celebrity has taken over from reality, getting on in life and working hard is not important anymore, Jesus H, look at Gordon Brown’s wife, she has a dozen of them a week in Downing Street and that monster wasn’t even elected (nor was Gordon Brown, but that’s another matter).
So this appears to be the way this country and football is going, well not on my watch it isn’t! I’ll say it the way I feel like it should be said. Screw the underclass.
NOW ONTO ARSENAL!
Porto next up, maybe with Cesc, maybe not, I would sooner rest him and keep him for the EPL, play the team we played on Saturday, minus Denilson and we should blow them away, we’ll have a different ref (from Portugal) and it won’t be the ref that did the Villa vs Mancs game, so in theory we should be alright.
I fancy Theo, Eboue and Rosicky to torment them, and with Nasri pulling the strings in the middle with Diaby, we should have more than enough in the locker.
I suspect Nikki will spring into life after the misses against Burnley, the last time I saw anyone miss that many open goals was… …well Bendtner , and funny enough it was against Burnley, so maybe we can chalk that down to it being his bogey team and move on.
Hopefully he’ll bring Campbell back to replace Silvestre and we’ll be more solid at the back, let them lose on him (Silvestre) and we may well concede, and that as we know will spell disaster, we need a goal, but we should try for 3 or 4, I will never feel safe with this keeper sitting on a 1 goal lead, so 3 goals in the first half will make me and 50,000 odd others at the ground feel more comfortable.
Good to see Theo back on track, good to see the Eboue we thought we had bought years ago and great to see Rosicky and Nasri playing like people conducting an orchestra at last.
I’m going for a comfortable win, but only if I see a team that resembles this.
Almunia (no choice, sorry)
Eboue Campbell Vermaelen Clichy
Rosicky Nasri Diaby
Theo Bendtner Arshavin
Have a great day today Grovers, today we start the big, big up, for tomorrow.








Gooby
I like Nik, but the time has come to step up.
Take it easy,he’s the cunt that missed them chances,we are going for the league for fuck sake he needs to be better.
Bendtner’s only real weapon is his headers other then that he’s shit.
he will gambon.
i’d like him to start banging goals now, because the team needs it at the moment to win the title and the CL (yes i m a believer
)
but i don’t think it is logic thinking to make him look like shite if he didn’t score in a game; we are fans, we love the team to be 100% PERFECT
but that’s impossible.
in fact i am pretty sure many teams in the prem’ would love to have bendy as a second striker. liverpool for exemple got n’gog, united berbatov, chavs got kalou shitty santa cruz. i don’t think any of those is a lot better than Bendy
Gerrard just missed an open goal that’d make Nik blush!
btw liverpool play like burnley
It was great to hear the supporters getting behind Nikki on Saturday,thats what being a supporter is all about.
Hahahaha 1-0! Huyt you fucking beautiful bastard!
Wigan 1-0 up!
And i only turned it on literally 30 seconds before the goal.
lol wigan scored
Ha Ha Ha, laugh? I almost bought a fucking round!!
Too right Paul!
Some prick tried to tell me that Cesc didnt mean his goal against Burnley. That it was a pure fluke it went through Jensens legs..
thats why he’s a prick!
only 22 hours til porto
it feels like Christmas
ethan, why christmas?

Yes mate, soooo true…
Nasri has been getting better and bgetter for a few weeks now, putting him wide or central will still mean he does a great job for us…

the most important date in our C.L campaign this season choy . and for me its tuesday already
Shit! Wigan shud’ve scored then…
its good to see some Arsenal players hit form past Christmas Gooby !
.. that in itself is something great ..
nasri – theo – cesc even nik looks to have lifted a notch !
definitely somewhat more positive than previous seasons ..
hi Grovers,
i’m wondering what are the chances of getting 2 seats for the manc chavs april game from a fellow-gooner source?
i’d like to add that i’m Polish and it would be my first Arsenal live match, i’ve only had a chance to see Highbury some years ago, but only from the outside
and as for the tomorrow game, i hope Le Boss goes for Song, Nasri and Diaby in the middle, thats a powerhouse of a midfield! and makes sol captain, not the tapas waiter!
cheers
santa arsene is bringing some gifts in the may christmas!

Can anyone remember that striker Birmingham signed in the summer from South America… he was supposed to be a bit of a goal machine?
What happened to him?
Liverpool have been so poor…
he wants man u VS chavs!
Benitez, he’s done okayish pedro
Benitez Pedro
Great player, doesnt score enough though!
The black Bendtner.
Moreno and Rodallega look good.
So he does play then.
I remember Gold saying he was going to be a goal machine or something to that effect.
The Black Bendtner… haha!
Nice Vid Chozzer,
I can actually imagine david rolling like the coach, when nikki b missed all those chances
Well Wigan are making the Bidippers look fucking awful, so we know exactly what’s gonna happen…….that diving cunt Gerrard will ‘win’ them a 90th minute penalty!
Rodallega may be a god player, its hard to tell when theyre playing for lower teams.
One thing Wenger should do more is sign players from the premier league, all the successful teams in europe sign the better players in their own league, we dont really.
Torres doing his best NB52 impersonation…..
now here’s a little contest between 2 brazilian wonder making kids!
who do YOU think is better
1.Lucas Leiva
2.Neives Denilson
Very true Gambon. We don’t touch the lower leagues either, but we’re happy to in France.
Who would you take at Arsenal outside the top 4?
I tell you what i was looking at earlier, David Villas goalscoring record, that guy is an absolute machine.
We should try and get him in the summer. RVP, Villa, Chamakh & Bendtner would be sick!

good point gambon, agree 100%
I think Roddy Jeager is an OK player…
Gooby – There is a third option……..a lead lined dustbin!
Rodwell, Fellani, Arteta, Yobo, Milner, Bellamy, Given, Schwarzer, Hangeland, Cahill, Cana, Behrami, C Cole, Diamanti, Clint Dempsey at a push.
Pretty much any keeper actually.
Oh and Torres!
Gooby
Would you rather get a BJ from Dame Edna or Lily Savage?

Or maybe, just maybe those misfiring mutha fuckas might actually step up to the plate with that sort of competition for a place!
Now Liverpool look set to fail to qualify even for the Europa (unless they win it and there no 1 fan FIFA changes the rules), let’s sign Reina!
If Fellaini played for us, he’d get red carded every effin game!
nearly scored again wigan!
ManG
He doesnt get red carded every game right now?!!
Gambon;
because he DOESN’T play for us! We get bookings for eff all! Song has probably made about 15 tackles and got 10 yellows!
THEYRE ALL AGAINST US!!
gerrard looks pathetic today
Oh sweet mutha of gawd! Royle sayin there was no malice in Torres challenge… From behind andwent right thru the Wigan player, but…. No malice!
Ha ha
If Liverpool fall out the top 4 they are completely fucked.
They lost £44m last year WITH CL money, what happens when that £25m disappears!
Once Torres wages arent paid we can sneak in with a bid!
look at gerrard moaning like a little girl!!!
I bet big nose Thompson cringes every day about his infamous “there aint a top 4 no more, its a top 3″ comment!!!
Gooby;
His challenge was 1 of dem scissor tackles that can really fuck up the player, yet that old dinosaur was sayin Gerrard was unlucky to get a booking!
Babel nearly made the ‘Kuyt’ part 2!
Gerrard has been pathetic all season, reduced to diving and fouling. That young McCarthey has had him in his back pocket and so he had to lunge him from behind.
yes i wasn’t suprise though. comentators always suport that cheating cunt.
what a game wigan are having. respect.
We need the scousers to be up for their game vs the mancs…
MG
actually this result will leave them no choice other than win against mancs and chavs
What a fucking pub team!
Well, they seem able to get themselves up for the likes of United and the chavs…
Oh dear, how shite was that?
FT Wigan 1-0
ahahaha Scousers!
do the dippers have the same feeling for lucas as we have for denilson.
i find it very amusing to compare those two
There are some crackin Europa league games this week…
Atletico Madrid v Sporting
Benfica v Marseille
Hamburg v Anderlecht
Juventus v Fulham
Lille v Midtable Mediocrity.
Rubin Kazan v Wolfsburg
Valencia v Werder Bremen
Just watched the Dippers. Bereft of ideas, tactically inept, a €20m waste of money sub Aquilani and an ageing Gerrard. Just pump the ball up & hope that Torres scores.
If Torres has any ambition he should head South to THOF, he would be fantastic playing in our team.
Benitez must go in summer because there is no way the Dippers will get 4th,
the dippers should really beat the mancs and chavs now … otherwise they’re utterly and truly fucked
i hope they do at least
Lucas 23y.o Denilson 22
Lucas €6m !!! Denilson €3.5m
At least our Brazilian can pass even if it is sideways.
No BR let them keep Benitez he’s doing a fantastic job there!!
Big Raddy – I couldn’t agree more, however there’s one stumbling block to your plan……….Arsene Wenger, he wouldn’t take Torres for fear it might kill Bentner!!
Denilson looked OK when played alongside a DM, he seems to fluff his lines when asked to play the DM role…. Sayin that, his games of late have been very disapointing…. Its a right quandary I tell theee…
We have signed Chamakh, so he doesnt fear killin bendy by the looks of it…. I think we should go for Villa and kill Eduardo instead!!!
reggie reg;
Yeah, Benitez is the best man for the job…
Torrres is seriously displaying severe injury prone tendencies, he misses more games than he plays…
The sooner them slags go belly up the better i will feel mangoon!!
There shit and they know they are!!
I would love to see fabregas and torres on the same team!
Unfortunately I think we’ll only see them playing for the Spanish NT.
He’d never move to another English Club I reckon, David Villa on the other hand…
MG – That would make him an ideal AFC player then
Guys you dont understand the Oscars was about Politics…it only made 12m dollars. Which mean absolutely nobody cares or gives a shyte about it!
The commitee that decides these things absolutely hate James Cameron..(who directed the Avatar) and theyre argument was that Animation is not exactly real life acting.
As if there wasnt another good movie in the Year 2009.
That thought of David Villa in the Red and White makes me do a little sex wee
DDM;
Haha! On reflection, Torres has all the required attributes dont he!!!
big raddy-
A front 3 of RvP, Arshy and Villa!!!
Shit the bed thats fucked up!!!
Bendtner is saving his goals for Porto now is he?
Fuck sake…how long has he been saving his goals then?
Id rather have Berbatov than Torres.
But that fucker is absolutely in love with Utd and would prefer to rot in their reserves over that old excuse that they win trophies.
Hope youre happy with the Carling Cup..Ponce!
RvP, AA23 and Villa……….feck me my pants are messed up!!
Unfortunately i think there’s more chance of finding rocking horse shit than Wenger finally buying Villa!
I think I seem to recalll a rather important bendy goal scored….erm, lemme think…. Oh yeah! Last week vs Stoke!!!
Lert it go David!!!
The way things stand at the moment we have a huge opportunity to do what Man Utd did back in the 90′s.
We have the money, the base of a squad that can dominate. Chelsea are old & will find it hard to freshen things up, UTD are being crushed by debt, Liverpool are gone.
Us & City may be the clubs that emerge at the top in the coming few years.
We need to take advantage of that this summer.
Sign 5 class players, let 10-15 go, and take our rightful places as the kings of english football.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp22E1DVIhM
Theres more chance of us signing Ricky Villa than David Villa!
It only means that Liverpool will NEED to take points off of Chelsea and Utd.
More good news for us.
He scored 2 vital goals before the burnley game david.. he isn’t exactly setting the world on fire!
But he’s doing pretty ok.
“Sign 5 class players”…….Seriously gambon, do you actually see AW buying ONE class player in the summer????
Oh don’t get me wrong he’ll do his normal pre-renewal “promise”, only to be followed by his post-renewal “i believe in these players” routine…..
gambon
If we just signd 18 players to new contracts i doubt we will be letting anybody go.
I feel for the young Strikers…Carlos Vela, Jay Simpson, Bazarite, S. Watt…etc etc…none of them get as much love as Bendtner.
Its fucking shameful.
If you believe the reports, we already have a pre- contract with Marouanne Chamakh
If Villa wins games in hand, they are close to top 3 then top 4 chasing pack.
Unfortunatley DDM youre right, but i always kid myself that he will blow some coin.
I think just another defender is coming in and maybe another goalkeeper!
Chozzer;
Great stuff man…
Vela has either been injured, or recovering from innjury, or on international duty, or recovering from injuries sustained while on International Duty, or jet fuckin lagged!!!
Barazite has been injured all season and only just back
Watt has played a few games, but at 18 maybe, just maybe is seen as not quite ready
Simpson is on loan at QPR so a tad difficult for him to turn out for us this season…
Did I miss anyone out???
Barazite, Watt & Simpson are far from the required quality.
Hopefully Barazite & Simpson will be part of the clearout in the summer.
When we win the league we might start thinking we actually have a half decent squad and to suggest we should let 15 players go is fuckin hilarious!
ManG
So you honestly think theres a point in keeping;
Simpson, Barazite, Randall, Denilson, Gilbert, Hoyte, Traore, Pedro, Almunia, Fabianski to name a few?
I dont understand this fear in replacing mediocrity with class, or moving on youngsters who will never make it.
chozzer;
is that Arseblogger chattin at the start of that clip mate? Along with Alan Davies I mean…
You think we should get rid of Pedro, but keep Geoff???
a postuguese mate of mine really belive porto have a big chance, and thinks that the fact fabregas being out is going to be easy for them.
i said: “bring it on, we’ll show you how football is played around here!”
ManG
Pedro was meant for bigger things, time to let him spread his wings!
Geoff is super super class.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1255414/Footballer-jailed-horrific-tackle-left-victim-broken-leg.html
Barazite has hardly featured due to (guess what?) injury, so I am not certain about losing him, I like Traore too and think he would be a worthwhile squad player to have around and of course, you know my thoughts regarding fabianski!!!
Gambon;
Yes, Pedro needs a far bigger stage to strut his thang…
I have seen Barazite scoring some cracking goals a year/two back. Looks like he is injured. It is very harsh to write them off. They can turn the corner if their attitude is right.
ManG
yes it is, that Arsecast was fuckin brilliant.
I think, sometimes, we have suffered from letting players go at 18/19 instead of keeping em till, say, 22 or so…. Players develop at different ages and a few that seem fantastic at 16/17 dont come on, while others who seem surplus, come good later…
Gibbs is an example of a player who hardly did anything on loan, while he has been terrific for us…
Its effin tricky is what I am saying!
I want Lansbury to be back next season fighting for a 1st team place…
Thanks chozzer…
Maurya/ManG
Im not writing anyone off, but the youth policy has to be a constantly flowing thing, you cant put every kid with a bit of talent in the squad or it will have 80 players in it.
Only very few of them will make it, and you cant leave the Barazites of this world hanging around cos it blocks the progress of Freeman, Deacon, Ozyakup, Aneke etc.
And thats me…. Laterssssss
ManG
The thing is people are incapable of being objective when it comes to kids from the acadamey, cos its the old romantic story of players that were brought up at the club.
If you watched these guys on loan and imagines they werent already Arsenal players, then asked yourself if you would want us to sign them, you would come to some very different conclusions.
Szcesny, Bartley, Wilshere & Afobe look like real talents, the rest are playing a numbers game.
Liverfool are utter shite, and you think they may take points off Man ure.!!
Cheeky bid in the summer for Torres
Blessings..Carlos Vela has not been injured all season..but has gotten worse treatment with game-time than Silvestre!
He’s roughly the same age as bendy and spent more time on loan..surely there are no more excuses for that?
Villareal absolutely battered us in Spain but we made easy work of them in England. Porto are no Villareal.
Yes, we’ll be missing Cesc, Gallas, and RVP this time around, but we’ll have Arshavin, Verm, and Diaby who has been playing very well this season.
We didn’t have cesc against Roma either, did we??
pat,
we will get thru this round ..
just not sure about the next one ..
pat ,
nasri easily did cesc’s duties the other night ,
expect more of the same tonight me reckon’s //
i’m scared like hell for this game fellas … fuckin stressed
Well according to news Gallas is out for about another month. Can only hope Sol is able to keep up. I never want to see Silvestre play for us again. This would be my line up for tomorrow night.
Almunia
Eboue Sol TV Clichy
Song Nasri Diaby
Theo/Tom Nik AA
Eboue wont play. Played Saturday and Wenger wont risk conceding one. I reckon
Almunia
Sagna-Campbell-Vermy-Clichy
—-Nasri—-Song—Diaby
Theo/Rosicky-Nikki–Arsh
IF eboue starts it will be at Right wing, and with theo’s and rosicky’s form right now, I really dont think thatll happen

whats the worst that could happen ?
we get knocked out so we can focus on the title race …
im viewing the C.L the way wenger does the FA/CC . its just one of his self indulgent fantasies ,he has yet to attain … and if it fucks up our title chances ill be pissed
and lets be honest if we adopt the same principals wenger uses for not taking the other cups seriously ..
surely currently our squad isnt big enough to
win both ! .. not with current injuries and GK inadequacies .Kresh wouldnt worry too much about it ..
im actually going to start worrying if we stay in it
can you imagine meeting man U or the chev’s next round ///
they will be putting the boots in on 2 fronts…
ill be pissed if we get more long term injuries by still being in the C.L ….
it will definitely be interesting but id prefer to just take it week by week and claim 3 points ..
last thing we need is back to back defeats at the hands of the chev’s or man U to demoralize us ..
they dont play us again in the EPL , but they can still psych us out Via the C.L !
The team going through their paces. Campbell looks set to play and merida looks as though he’s staying with the club.
Speaking of the Arsecast, this was a particular gem.

sorry ‘delusion’ was never my thing
if we are talking about the same BBk
i doubt he’s thinkin that
hey i dont want the head line MAN U throws us out of C.L …
or the chev’s … then if we bottle it in the EPL too , they will say they got the morale victory over us in the C.L …
eg,
Opposite to delusion is hopeless, i think
Delusional or not, I want us to beat Manu or Chelsea, this year that is when we meet them.
Today’s referee is from Belgium btw
i think we will get bordeaux or sevilla in the next round
How about one of the two Meeeelans
Morning, i for one won’t be too disappointed if we get knocked out tonight, it might focus our manager on the trophy that really counts and the one we realistically have a chance of lifting, rather than letting him delude himself we can beat the Chavs, Mancs, Barca or Madrid…..
However, we will probably stumble passed this shoddy Porto outfit, into the next round…..
The only way i will start to think that we could actually win the ECL would be to draw either the Chavs, the Mancs, Barca or Madrid in the next round and put them out!
