I didn’t have all the info to hand before yesterday’s post, so I’m going to briefly touch on the John Terry saga, because that man is everything I hate in a footballer and everything I hate in a person.
Who gave him the right to firstly set up some sort of coup to undermine the manager and secondly, nominate himself as the spokesman? You lost that right when you knocked up your best mates ex-girlfriend and sold tours for cash.
John Terry isn’t looking out for the best interests of England, he’s looking out for himself… like he always does.
Now I’m not sitting here defending some of the odd selections Capello’s made during this world cup, but John Terry using under hand deceitful tactics to pull off some sort of Machiavellian one one-upmanship over a manager who, in JT’s mind, dissed him. Trying to screw over one of the most successful manager of all time because the players want to deflect blame from themselves is disgusting.
The Barking born scumbag saw his position as invincible and decided he’d use his sway amongst the dressing room to try and takeover. He’s so out of touch he thought the country would back that stance but more embarrassingly, he thought he’s mates would back him. Thankfully, he was wrong on both counts!
Capello is now talking about his ex-captains ‘big mistake’… that’s fighting talk Fabio… I hope you’re going to do the right thing and drop him. I don’t care about how desperate we are at the back there should be no room for a scum bag like Terry in our set up.
Do I even need to mention how pathetic it is to hear that he is bored and the players are upset they have to go three weeks without a beer?
Hopefully JT’s legacy will, in footballing terms, be remembered with all the fondness Tony Blairs stint in government was.
Onto the Arsenal news…
We’re all now aware why Arsenal have gone after Kocielny with such vigour… there’s a youth deal tied to it! Marvellous.
I like the look of him, can’t comment on his ability, but he’s tall, which is good. Hopefully he’ll have a bit of Eastern European grit mixed with a some French flair. If he turns out to be a great signing, Wenger will be the King maker again… if he flops, you’d have to say, the risk was pretty huge.
That’s what I don’t understand about Arsene Wenger. He’s about to put £8million on the line for an unknown quantity, yet he wouldn’t weigh out £14million for Alonso. Which represents the greater risk? The Spanish international, or a player that if you get it wrong, you’ll probably look at getting 10% of his value back (Or zero if you look at Phil Senderos).
Still, the Grimster wouldn’t recommend a flop would he?
Onto Spain… No Cesc… again.
Do I care much for his plight? No. He can rot on the bench for all I care, if he has half a brain, he’ll realise that’s where he’ll be sitting for Barca next season. Have a think about it Cesc… do you believe Iniesta and Xavi would be welcoming your move if they saw you as a threat?
One of the our Eastern Bloc Grovers told us about this left back Arsenal are tracking yesterday. Renat Yanbaev of Lokomotiv Moscow is interesting Arsenal probably because he is looking for a new club. Word on the street is that Clichy could be off and this man could step in despite not satisfying work permit rules.
26? What are they putting in the water in Russia these days?
The Joe Cole stories have been few and far between over the last few days so the Metro thought it fitting to predict he was now going to United this summer. Like I said before, if Arsenal can’t persuade a London boy to join them when he’s just started a new family… there is something seriously wrong with our seduction tactics. Maybe we don’t give them a shirt like we used to?
Murmurings in the comments section are once again pointing to Rob Green joining us after the world cup. You don’t become a bad keeper after one shocking mistake… David Seaman made plenty of errors through his career… the question is, can he take the pressure of playing for a world class club like Arsenal?
Finally, before I leave you, I have to comment on that James Corden ITV show… is it not one of the least funny things you’ve ever seen on TV? I cringe every time I watch him suck up to the players. Can’t we have someone on the box who’ll tell it like it is instead of pandering to the England players like they are messiah’s? What is a WAG sitting on the panel? Who cares what her opinion on football is? Who cares what Peter Crouch ate for breakfast?
TV in this country really is pitiful at times and very boring…
See you in the comments!

There may have been 2 arsenal related players in te french defence but it was Lloris who fucked up for their opener.
*3
no notrhing GG just spent 10 minutes combing newsnow , it must be silly banter …
but it does go to show you France had there time of world domination ..
and at that time we had the French teams back bone ..
what does this tell you ?
buy Argentine – Dutch – Brazil national team members !
i shit you not …
A
Thats a step in the right direction then
Cheers mate.
ethan with Blanc taking over they may get backbone back, but the past 6 years seems to coincide with The Arsenal slide.
yes he’s gone …
but you still wont hear anything yet ..
He’s gone as of 1st July, so unless he or Silvestre officially sign for someone before then that’s when they’ll officially cease to be arsenal players.
Coquelin’s officially gone on loan it would appear, but nothing on arsenal.com which is a bit weird

—————————————
yes and no … i would be 100% BEHIND YOU IF WE had kept pires – th14 – paddy – and any lesser frenchie i missed
i think its the other way around… you can blame Arsenal for France’s demise ..
wenger deconstructed a working unit !
is that why every french executive hates wenger now?
WHy is that weird A? Arsenal are always slow to update.
Not when something actually happens Stu, when somethings actually gone through it’s very rare that another club announces it before we do, the clubs usually liase and make the announcement at the same time
Didnt Zenit and Ajax announce the deals before us?
the list of names out the door is growing ..
fishhead – gallas-cesc-senders-sol -BIG AL
?
possible . – clichy – theo – vela
i think between 6 – 10 could be out this season …
not bad for trying to add to the squad ..
Gentlemen I’ve got to go out now. Adios Amigos.
Bye gg9.
Rooneys shit streetskills thing is on sky. All the challenges he sets for the kids he cant even do himself. He always misses the target.
Ajax didn’t, with Zenit the whole thing was fucked up, zenit basically announced everything that was happening the whole time, along with making up stuff that wasn’t happening!
Missed a few posts, just caught up.
Peddrs my man!! A VERY VERY happy belated birthday. You are a man apart, a idol of the blog world, the Clark Kent of le Grove, thank you for all you bring to us. Hope you had a great one!
On to the posts…Eboue played decent enough in midfield for the Elephants despite the loss. Sell Cesc, put the joke man in the midfield, and watch as le grove BURNSSSS!
Btw way Gorcuff looked distinctly average the whole WC, I would say pity the French here but a slightly malicious part in me is ecstatic they didn’t move on. Besides ultimately it is ALWAYS about Arsenal so glad the French contigent will get a proper rest now.
Im actually disappointed with France. I did like them going into the WC but they are just shambolically disgraceful and dont deserve to go through.
Im not put off Gourcuff because of the WC though, its France, they are in deep shit and you cant judge someone on 2 performances in a team that pretty much doesnt like him.
I can’t wait to see Arsenal again….this international stuff is sucking the life out of me. At least there is something to watch but it is remarkable to see how these teams full of star quality can’t string an attack together and run into blind alleys. Even average club teams would hammer most of these sides. They are all relying on individual talent.
Now the french are out aw can fly home, and do some proper work. no tv work left for him to do now.
And to rub salt into the wound he got gazzumped on a house he was trying to buy local to him.
Off to bed, night
No doubt Stu…am not judging him longterm, just observing he had a shit cup. Like you said, the whole team really did though. I bet fatty Nasri is excited he didn’t get to be a part of this tosh lot. And Evra showed his pathetic character, never again will he be given the armband.
Maybe now would be a the time to make a deal on the cheap for young Gorcuff…
Its good watching Cesc suffer off the bench. What the fuck makes him think this wouldn’t be happening at Camp Prick. He would be committing professional suicide if he lets his emotions about Catalonia and all that rule this decision.
Wenger got gazzumped on a house?? What he didn’t want to pay for the agent’s cab fare to show him the site?
You could distinctly see how eager Cesc was to make an impact on a game already won when he came on. He was running around in circles in midfield and was very un-Cesc like in his selfishiness to shoot the second opportunity he got. Torres was open but he shot from an unlikely angle.
I hope Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and the Barca bitches giving him wedgies and ignore him on the team bus. You may have been born Catalan Cesc but your family here appreciates you far more then those cunts ever could.

Diaby must be the most gutless 6ft 4inch person in the world.
Arsene Wenger is 6ft 4.
According to many here he’s the most gutless, cunt of a, mug, senile, francophone, prick etc etc ever.
so get your facts right.
AA23

working in plans in feet and inches gives me a brain ache .. i know you dont know what one feels like ..
Hahahaha.Diaby and the set of French clowns( excluding Clichy,Sagna,Gallas and Henry) knocked out of the World Cup.Diaby you fucking retard,this is WC,you were not playing some shit team in the championship.The wanker was lucky enough to be selected into the team,because the manager was another mug like Wenger.But yet again,Diaby has shown his true value.What an assit to South Africa’s second goal.Why dont this bastard fuck off to a shit French club.
Does Wenger return from Africa now ? or is he doing commentary till the final ?
http://younggunsblog.co.uk/2010/06/arsenal-agree-koscielny-deal-with-youth-link-up/
FINALLY WE HAVE KSOCIELENY WHO DORNS A NO. 4 SHIRT AT LORIENT…WILL WENGER GIVE HIM THE NO 4 SINCE ITS VERY OBVIOUS GAZIDIS AND WENGER WILL GIVE IN AS LAPORTA CLAIMS.
Bad luck to african teams …how could obafemi and yakubu miss clean sitters..Their magicians must have given them less superior juju compared to Korea’s juju. Oh poor Africa..
This time its not for Africa.
What the fuck is Kolshitieny going to do?Another French unknown.We will finish sixth next season,if we start next season with this unknown.
Morning bum sniffers!
Jaguar, can’t you get someone to suck it out?
jaguar – you’re a wanker and a retard
Why do you have to resort to name calling, especially to a guy who doesn’t insult other Grovers?
DM – Cos I hate everything that Jaguar stands for in this world.
Evening all
Well 4.00am tomorrow morning AEST Australia will come up against the referees, oh & we play Serbia. If Germany beat Ghana by 3 goals, & we beat Serbia by 2 goals, or Ghana beat Germany 1-0 & we beat Serbia 1-0 we go thru.
Obviously, the refs won’t allow that so what am I on about
I think the first outcome is more possible gg9…
Serbia have an extremely tight defence though..Vidic, Subotic and Ivanovic is probably the meanest defence in the WC…
I know Rohan, it will be a miracle to go thru, but still I spose I’ll get up.
He obviously hasn’t heard of Nicklas Bendtner.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2010/06/23/1990697/manchester-city-boss-roberto-mancini-barcelonas-zlatan
If England go on to meet Serbia which is perfectly possible, I frankly don’t expect them to win.
Rohan, send him a link to Bendtner consulting
Goonerman,I still stand by what I have been saying all the times.Diaby is a useless retard,and should fuck off to some other shit club,not the Royal Arsenal.Most over rated Arsenal player ever.After a decent match against some shit team,many were singing his praises,I knew that the actual Diaby would turn up in the next match against a quality team.Who is right now?
gambon.

This is the latest fashion craze. I’m going to get one.
Rohan,I have more love for ‘Diaby’ than your love for Randall.
