Firing Capello and losing £8mil is as stupid as extending his contract before the world cup, but…

by & filed under Uncategorized.

For the FA to suggesting that David beckham is the answer is the dumbest thing I have heard in my entire blogging life, nay, my entire life, it’s as far fetched as suggesting that Saddam Hussain had weapons of mass destruction.

Before Beckham got involved with the England team, they were in the main, men, and men that died for the cause, remember Terry Butcher and his bleeding bandaged head against Sweden?

Then Beckham came along, got sent off in his first world cup for petulance, jumped out of a tackle in his second against Brazil, and we were winning at the time, but he was more concerned about his haircut, and he played like shite in his last one and cost us any chance of winning by refusing to run the line, I know, I was there.

When people tell me he did his all for England, I laugh, he did his all for himself, and his last 25 caps were the FA, trying to give him the record.

Beckham started the rich boy wag culture and we have suffered ever since, bring in a manager that plays form players, not ones that rely on reputations, bring in a manager that puts the fans first, bring in a manager that laughs at reputations and bring in a manager that has managed at the coal face in England.

For me, give it to Harry, he’s already said he would jump at the chance, how would you feel today if you were a spud, at least our manager turned down the chance to manage France for his club. Harry has already said he’d have it!

However, don’t sack Capello, the FA gave him an extended contract and if we do, it will cost us £8mil, if you’re going to sack anyone, sack the FA that gave it to him.

I had to laugh at Brooking’s comments, he said we were struggling from 11 years old as kids aren’t being taught ball skills, well a mate of mine has offered to start an England academy, where kids go in at 11, they board there, are taught by football professionals (from EPL Academies) as well as being educated, if they don’t turn out to be the next Messi, they will at least turn out well balanced, educated kids that would add to the economy instead of the feral kind we currently turn out, they would trawl from all walks of life, privilage doesn’t come into it, talent does.

I suggested writing to Brooking, they needed £15mil over an 8 year period, you know what Brooking said? He said the FA couldn’t afford to fund it! They could however afford to give Capello an extended contract, pay for Beckham to sit in the dug out showing off his tattoos and send their entourage out to South Africa, first class, go figure, that’s the FA for you.

Okay, that’s enough about England, we have a global audience of Gooners to address, so I will now talk Arsenal.

With YaYa seemingly on his way to Man City, it seems now, that finally the transfer merry go round will begin, De Jong anyone?

It also appears we have finally landed Laurent Kosienlny for Gallas and there were rumours that Kjaer and Balotelli are next up, now that I would have, Joe Cole only wants centre midfield so if that’s the case I would prefer to sign Ozil or Gourcuff if I had to choose. Or both if Cesc goes.

We still need a keeper, but that looks like Schwarzer, frankly a Neuer would do me, but I’m sure he’s too close to Chezza’s age for Wenger to do that, so maybe Schwarzer is the answer, either is better than what we currently have.

If we keep Campbell or sign Kjaer, I think we have enough at the back, but DM is an area we need to strengthen as I don’t think Eastmond is yet ready.

I saw a glimpse of the new kit on a website yesterday and if it’s true, then I like it, I just hope we have hooped socks, white with a red top, or red with a white top.

So with all that little lot am I being greedy? It’s my wish list and if he dips in there, and the kit is right, then I for one will be in happy bunny land.

I so hope that Kosienlny is as good as Wenger seems to think because if we can shore up the back, we can win the lot, if we replace some of the kids we let go with real quality, then we’ll also have the squad we need to compete on all fronts.

Let’s hope so eh? It’s long overdue. have a great day Grovers.

    Incesc, wouldnt be it fucking hillarious if that was true. And his wife just after having their child a few months ago.

    Whats happening with the Gerrard story about him knocking up a teen? Did that happen or was it just a made up rumour?

  7. Stu

    I think it was Vermaelen at fault for Pienaars goal. Went towards the ball when he shouldnt have and left a huge gap for Pienaar to run through to score.

  8. chozzer

    Denilson was down during the build-up to the Pienaar goal, but not from that incident where he looked like he’d been shot by a sniper.

    Spain and Portugal have NEVER met in a World Cup game before, I kid you not. They have met in a major competition before though, twice – in Euro 1984 they drew 1-1 in the group stage, while at Euro 2004 Portugal won 1-0 thanks to a Nuno Gomes goal. That was the last time these boys went tete-a-tete

  19. chozzer

    I don’t know why I find it funny when Cesc isn’t playing. Perhaps in my head, he’s gone already.

  25. goonerT1m

    its sad the cesc (arguably one of the most talented players in Arsenal history) has become a bit of a joke amongst the fans, still i suppose we have OGL to thank for that. Arsene Knows.

  29. ismaeel

    i think de jong would be a gfantastic purchase man city want to let him go as they have 3 players in that position make that 4 with yay toure and he is very good in the dm position. Any1 think the same?

  36. chozzer

    challenging him is only as it should be….making up a term designed to be derogatory is the same as calling him “Wenker”.

  37. SUGA3

    dude, it can be understood both ways, it’s only up to OGL how it will be understood…

    last summer Gazidis said something about not challenging for trophies being unacceptable, he somehow changed his tune at the shareholders meeting, no?

    totalitarian state at its best…

  39. ethangunner

    A
    but whenever he was named in the starting XI towards the end of his time with us I was very worried, and his performances showed that he couldn’t keep up with the pace of it all anymore

    - AND SONG CAN ???
    —————————————
    We saw that in the Barca game ..
    he was fast enough to be in the background of both goals :)

    fuck if you worried before…. you should be on prescription medicine by now !

  41. gambon

    Wenger has been going senile for years, he shouldve been removed 2 years ago when it was clear just how mental he is.

    name calling is more to the point :)
    and far faster !

  51. goonerT1m

    yep you lost me too chozzer, hows is it even close to wenker………i think its sad the entire cesc debacle, a few good signings and it would have all been avoided, gambon is right and he does little to persuade anyone otherwise.

  52. incesc

    fucking hell

    every time i watch football, all the half time show is ever about is fucking goal line technology and lampards disallowed goal.

  54. chozzer

    speaking of which, Ethan, where were you this morning?

    I missed my early morning dose of the Ethan, sixx pacc, AA23 betting weasel, bum-sniffing, mutual appreciation society!

  59. goonerT1m

    wasn’t consciously doing so chozzer, i may have inadvertently done so, after using the blog for so long. sometimes it happens i suppose.

  60. Stu

    No offence Suga but im not a fan of OGL. Brilliantly double edged it may be but if you use it then you are either taking the piss, which i generally don’t approve of, or you are delusional..which i also don’t approve of. :lol:

    BANGKOK ! what a drive .. left 6am – back 6 pm !
    dont worry pal ..back on the horse tomorrow ! 6 guns blazin :)

  63. SUGA3

    Stu,

    well, I come from a country with history of ripping the piss out of OGLs – helps you to stay sane in the face of adversity…

    I’d rather rip the piss out of AW than call him names like Wenker, as at this point his floor is my ceiling, no matter what ;)

  75. ethangunner

    i think getting to the bottom of all these spending policies will probably never really be known by the fans.

    We can only speculate . but i dont know if calling wenger a wanker is just ….

    but he has made several huge fuck ups recently ,but do you attribute it to his passion for buying youth players ? or do you blame it on the board not really wanting him to over spend for success ?..

    One thing is for sure if we have a REAL take over of management maybe we would find out the truth !..

    in fact im sure we would , if wenger changed policies it would prove he has just been a YES MAN all along . if it stayed the same you could then point the finger at him ..

  83. incesc

    spain are like arsenal with better players.

    portugal have shown fuck all second half. wheres ronaldo??

  85. Stu

    I would rather Portugal win. I hate Soain because they always have all of the ball and matches are generally 1 sided..which is kind of boring eventually.

  86. gambon

    2 years ago he said he wants to join Arsenal, Arsene said no, no, no!

    80+ goals in his last 110 games.

    Good call Wenker.

  88. ethangunner

    i was reading the top 10 wonder kid fuck ups of the EPL ..

    Jérémie Aliadière – senderos – pennant – theo ..

    juries still out on theo !
    but well done wenger getting about 35 % of them !

  91. Stu

    Where you reading that Ethan because there have surely been worse kids than Senderos and Pannant who played for Liverpool after us.

  98. stonroy

    Villa is one of those strikers that can choose from any club in the world. If he wants you, you find the money. Can you imagine the shirt sales that would have been made off of him? The trophies. No players would have wanted to leave because Arsenal would have made serious intentions to being a top club.

  101. SUGA3

    to be honest, I reckon it was all spin to keep the ST sales going – with the ‘ringfenced’ HS investment and short term £100M+ loan?

  105. Stu

    Well how much did we pay for Bendtner? Probably a few hundred thousand if anything. How much did we pay for Theo? About 10m depending on certain things. Theo is much more of a fuck up…not that i consider either a fuck up.

  106. David

    LOL Stonroy! Always! :D

    Excellent point T1m.

    Who needs David Villa when we’ve got a half fit Nicklas “tap in off of other people’s hard work and cant be Arsed to take a quality shot on my own” Bendtner.

  108. incesc

    Could you imagine Van Persie and Villa up front?

    well at least villa would get some goals for us while robin lays on the imjury table

  109. chozzer

    Villa would be shit in England…just like Forlan was at Manyoo.

    A few kicks from Ryan Nelsen and Ryan Shawcross and he’d want to go home like Reyes.

  111. incesc

    villa would be the best player in the premier league.

    all this world cup has done is show us how shit premier league players are.

    name one player from our league who has looked good?

  114. Big Dave

    PHW comments about Cesc not being able to get into the Barca team are not that wide off the mark.

    If he does leave he will be warming that bench

  122. Keyser

    gambon – Oh yeah, he was in talks and everything, the deal just hinged on him not being allowed to dip his head in a tub of Bryl Cream before every game.

    ..typical gambon bollocks, big, but just full of hot air.

  130. gambon

    Keyser you nonce,

    I said 2 years ago he says he wants to join Arsenal…

    As you can see he said exactly that, but your right, i was wrong it was 26 months ago.

    Typical Keyser, being a cunt.

  131. Big Dave

    Gambon.

    Fiszman was out of order for saying that, it was not true about the 30 mill. This summer is the 1st time we actually have money to spend, AW was meant to be vey annoyed with that comment

  132. goonerT1m

    how would you know keyser, either way he would have been a great signing, or do you doubt that too?

  137. Stu

    Eduardo was fucking brilliant wasnt he. Maybe we should go for him as keeper. He is probably better than all the prem keepers (who we could/would buy).

  138. MickyDidIt89

    People bang on as to why this country doesn’t produce skillful players. I’ll tell you. Northerners. Northern managers and their “oh you southern softies” mentality, producing the hatchet teams like Stoke.

  141. Keyser

    Suga3 – You need to go back and read what I write, instead of trying to swing your balls around to, what’s WUM ?!

  143. zeus

    IF THESE CUNTS WIN, THE WC WOULD BE A FARCE. I’m for Argentina, and they do their fair share of cheating I will admit, but NOTHING of that magnitude.

    Gripping your face as if your eye socket is broken. CUNTS. How Cesc could be of that DNA is beyond me.

  144. SUGA3

    WUM – Wind Up Merchant

    quote:

    ‘gambon – Oh yeah, he was in talks and everything, the deal just hinged on him not being allowed to dip his head in a tub of Bryl Cream before every game.

    ..typical gambon bollocks, big, but just full of hot air.’

    how is that not a windup?

  146. stonroy

    If we have money this year for the first time, why would we put at the heart of our defense Thomas Vermaelen (a warrior but only his second year in the league) and an unproven defender in Laurent Koscielny? What huge club would not buy a seasoned veteran of the prem to marshall our defense. No I’m afraid we are just stupid.

  148. Kreshnik

    Ok here’s the fuckin deal.
    Up to this point I really thought that Cesc would succeed in Barca if he left. Today I got convinced that if he actually leaves he will completely be wasted and pull a Flamini.

  149. gambon

    Stonroy

    It is worrying, but i suppose we may still be after another CB thats playing at the WC.

    If its true that we have funds to spend then £8m for a squad CB is fine.

  150. SUGA3

    conversation started with you questioning actual quotes, then you openly took a piss out of someone who backed his opinion with a source ;)
