Now that’s coming from Cesc Fabregas and regardless of whether or not you believe it, he does, and more importantly it’s the first time all season I’ve heard him talking about Barca like they’re the enemy and not his spiritual home, at last! Way to go Cesc!
As far as I’m concerned we haven’t improved as a team since last season, although Nasri has upped his game others have gone the other way and we are weak as lambs at the back, no amount of bedding in will solve that, the only thing in my opinion that will help us overcome Barca, is the transfer window, if Wenger chooses to open his eyes and use it, great, if he doesn’t, we’ll have time to work on our domestic position, simple as that.
Admit you screwed up in the transfer market and move on Arsene, don’t let vanity bring you down.
Moving on to Stoke, I have no doubt we’ll tear them a new arsehole today, our player problems will stop us winning big trophies but they won’t stop us beating teams like Stoke, unless we have a howler, we will steamroller this team.
I would like to see us try Theo up front for once, with Robin tucked in behind, see what happens, it may be the secret weapon we need for the chavs, show something different and tactically surprise them for a change.
Theo is not a winger Arsene, he wasn’t when you bought him and he’s not now 5 years on, give him a try, he may be the explosive goalscorer we need and we all thought we bought all those years ago.
This would be my shout today, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain, namely top spot and something different.
Chezzer all day long!
Sagna Koscielny/Squillaci Djourou Gibbs (if fit)
Nasri Cesc Wilshere
Robin Chamakh/Vela
Theo
Song and Denilson have been woeful of late and although Wilshere hasn’t been great, he’ll play better in that midfield and with the height we have at the back he can sit in front of them like a Mascerano type but with skill.
We don’t need planks in there anymore, we need footballers, the way we gave away possession to the mancs made us look like a pub team, well today we are playing a pub team that has a one trick pony, keep the ball and show them what a skilful team can do and use it as a practice match for the Christmas fixtures.
To get back to playing football, we need to get back to playing with footballers, in this team of late we have been playing with non footballers that have non footballing brains.
Come the window we can offload the rubbish and bring in some talent, let Almunia go and bring back Mannone, give Chezzer a run and make Fabianski number two.
We need a left back, bring back Cruise and stick Gibbs in, if he can avoid injuries he’s more than capable, Clichy has lost it, if Real want him, let him go, it may be what we both need, I love Clichy but this last two years he has cost us.
Eboue is nothing we need anymore and if Roma want him, great, sell him, same with Bendtner and if Wolfsburg really want Denilson, let him go. Now with that little lot we can bring in some super talent and it would cost us nothing, maybe then we would have a real chance against Europe’s show ponies.
Start with Hazard and get Ramsey back as the DM we need so desperately.
Have a great day grovers, today we go back to the top of the league!
theo has to start.
I really do think Theo could get in behind them, he has to start with Nasri on the left
Rohan, Wenger had an affair.So some stupid cunts think it’s big to call him a sex maniac.
Great minds lurch….
Abidal their only weak link
Press up high, get the ball and before they regroup, put in a through ball in for yer quick wingers and forward players to run on through onto goal and score. Simples
Wham, bam, thank you ma’am..we’ll have to be extremely clinical and the whole team will have to put in the performance of their lives.
Barca aren`t overconfident but i hear they are resting Messi against us, both legs……………..
check my team at 1047 A.
i really think we need something radical at the back as well.
If only Wellington Silva had gotten his work permit, we could have his pace on the left as well as Theo’s on the right, exploit the space that Dani Alves leaves behind him when he goes forwards
Naah imo, Pique and Busquets are susceptible to raw pace.
A, they are very beatable. Very beatable. If we play like this against them, even with Dennilson, we will get a result.
No offence Lurch but I’m not a fan!
imo we need to go
Fabianski
Eboue Koscielny Vermy Clichy
Cesc Song Diaby
Theo VP Nasri
bendtner woulda scored that.
Nou camp was great fun last year despite the result
its controversial i know.
I’d say just about beatable rather than very beatable confident….
We COULD do them, we could certainly score goals, but we really could get smashed as well
Did you go TIE?
BigRed that’s ok we’ll rest Denilson
A yes
mechanical.
A,
Diaby has the ball skill, but he is a very lazy player. He cannot stay on the pitch for 60 mins. He doesn’t have the energy to press constantly that we need
With the official club package?
Do you remember how easy it was to get tickets?!
Dudaby and Kolshitieny in the same team?
We will be defeated by a minimum of five goals,if that wankers play against Barca.
In that case we sub him after 60 mins then Confident….
Although he didn’t always use the ball as well as he could’ve last year they couldn’t handle him. He gives our midfield good balance and we really need him to play imo.
If he can’t keep going for 90 mins then Wilshere or Denilson on for him after he’s helped us get a few goals up at home!
Put it this way, if JoMo played this way against them, they should have at least a draw I am not sure we have players who can press for so long in matches. Most of our players do lack the needed stamina
A no my sons treated me for my birthday,one of them lives in Barca.
You’d quite like that too wouldn’t you, Jaguar.
Don’t forget people, only one man has scored at the Nou Camp. Y’all know who it is…
Jaguar from now on I’m only gonna reply to your posts that don’t have any silly little swear words in them. It just makes you look silly – even if there’s any sort of genuine point you’re making then it would be completely undermined by the childish insults
Villa unstoppable,
Ah ok TIE, very nice!
I was wondering the best way to do it, I 100% want to go, but the day trip is very pricy considering you don’t even stay overnight, I was wondering about alternative ways to organise it, have a couple of nights there too.
Reckon you’ll go this year?
Flew in to Girona then about 90 minutes coach,mind you during the first leg i wanted to cancel my ticket.
Jag,
Lay off Kos. he is a player that can attack the ball, and he is fast, almost like the Verminator.
A.
Daiby can work but it just depends on his energy
Now this is looking really silly. They are scoring for fun now, almost the same way. Threading passes through defenses.
Not sure yet
This is england, the best way to rest Denilson is to play him…………………..
Did my back yesterday laughing with the report that Wolfsburg were gonna bid 10 million quid for him………….
Mclaren your`e my hero……..
ah ok TIE.
That’s my logic regarding wanting to cancel your ticket – I want it to be more than just a trip for the footy, so as to cushion the blow if it’s already game over!
Most of all Barca goals are through passes, and they are very dirty players. Refrees give them a lot of slack. They work really hard for each other, though.
got robbed to the tune of £700 odd quid in Barca…hate the place!
Lots of muggings in Barca mainly round the Ramblers.
wasn’t mugged but yeah…
woke up to a spidermonkey going through my shit in my room 6am ish – fucker crawled up the outside of the building and in through the balcony window. when i woke he literally ran and leapt off the second floor balcony and hit the ground running.
For the Barca game, my prefernce would be JW, Cesc and Denilson in the midfield.
We should use Bendtner on the right wing and Nasri on that left wing. Forward should be Walcott.
We cut the team in a strong midfield which should protect the back 5 and three strong pacy forwards who can bury the few chances we will have.
WTF Lurch, you serious?
Spain is a third world country
absolutely Rohan.
to be fair i’d been there loads of times before on business and never had a problem – this was a lads weekend and to a degree we probably attracted it by being inelegantly wasted and stupid with the type of crowd we fraternised with
Lots of Brit Gooners out there
ritesh you are probably the only arsenal fan that would play denilson in your team
I’m not Denilson’s biggest fan but when he came on against Barca at the Emirates for the second half, he was world-class and played as big a part as anyone in the turnaround imo.
Mark gooner, you can add AKB, Queen of Suburbia and Steve Mcclaren to the list,
oh and Pep Guardiola …………………….
Barcelona are the pass masters, Denilson is the interception master.
+ he is Brazilian and will not allow Messi to do the showboating…
need my football it my drug
Ritesh, can you let me know the make and model of your TV cos yours is obviously showing a different Denilson to my LG…………….lmao
Bigred
If we play dim witted players like Song and Diaby, they will tear us another one like last time.
we need a fast midfield who can stand up for the defence. This is not a PL club which plays on strength, its a technical team which plays passes round and round the pitch.
the guy is pushing 200 appearances for us and has had 2-3 very good games
but i can think of at least 3 occasions where we have conceeded down to his lack of effort
1. rooneys goal at emirates last season
2. stokes 2nd goal against us in fa cup last year
3. braga’s 2nd against us this year
now for a defensive midfielder to have 1 goal conceeded down to effort is bad but 3 that is taking the piss.
he aint good enough and should be fucked off first opportunity
anyone see the free kick in the valencia game?
absolute belter!
tino costa i think.
Jermaine Defoe walks into a club, sits next to a stunner and goes: ‘Get your coat, you have pulled’
The girl replies: ‘You’re a little forward’
fuck me, MOTD redefined the ‘extended highlights’ today
Scott Parker is a beast
barca the best team in history?
the invincibles would tear them a few new arseholes, vieira would murder their midfield
I don’t think so Gooby….this Barca team is something else.
really Rohan? do you think our defense back then is something they can break easily like they do in the spanish league?
invicibles didnt do it in europe.
they got incredibly unlucky against chelsea
one of the worst games of my lifetime, we were so much better than them back then
I agree gobby! Ashley would have messi in he’s pocket,gilberto would sit nice infront of that back four while bobby, freddie & big pat run riot in midfield & upfront while DB10 & titi terrorise puyol & pique.
Shame we can’t say the same with this lot.
they didn’t in europe but that doesn’t say much, for me the CL knock out stages is 60% luck.
our team back them would beat theirs, our full backs were world class i know the one on the left was a cunt the defensive set up was brilliant.
it would be funny to see TH14 at his best giving pique and puyol the real business
italy won the WC 2006 hardly the best team and fucking bunch of cheats.
winners tho and thats what counts…
we were shit vs man u in the last cup final we won but it felt fucking amazing to see them crying at the end of the pens!

*******************************
Lack of a game today is no excuse to get high.
I’m so over the barca game already and its still 2 months away. You would hope that Wenger would goin the t/r market and get a couple people, even if that mean letting 1 or 2 of our lot go, but we all know the inevitable outcome don’t we?
He won’t buy anyone.
He will try to match barca fire for fire.
By some sick twist of faith we will have a marvelous January where the cracks are papered over and then come February, the injury fairy will knock down some of boys, important boys at that.
We get spanked.
Pffft. Fast forward to March already.
Lack of a game today is no excuse to get high.
SUGA 22:34
as soon as they they get a victory they all suddenly start turning up again rather then turning up in fancy dress as plastic chairs.
vieira would off destroyed barca,big time.
Barcelona are a f***ng good team. They make footy a real pleasure to watch. Arsenal too are a great side to watch, but we have a lax attitude due to a culture of accepting mediocrity by the manager. If he decides to change this Jan window, these are my suggestions on the way forward.
Sell
Dennilson
Bentner
Rosicky
Buy
Hazard
1 CD
1 GK
Honda
You may wonder I don’t want a DM? The answer is that we have a very good one in Kos. We need to buy a tall premiership defender preferably Hagelland from Fulham to complement Verminator. For the strong teams start with 2 DMs and for the weaker teams start with 1 DM. If Verm is not fit by year end, we need to by one like him. It is better we have a glut than to go with one short. I will move Squill on if I have the chance.
Our line up will be for strong opponents
—–Schezney—-
Sagna/Eboue —Hagell–Verm—-Clichy
—Song—-Kos—————————
——-Cesc/Nasri————————–
Nasri/Honda—-VP/Chamakh——Hazard / Theo
If Clichy is not cutting it,
