So to begin with Carlos Vela’s departure to West Brom on loan, didn’t Simpson go there once? Hmmm the word is the agent moved the goal posts at the last minute so Vela didn’t go to Bolton, strange that, I thought it was Vela that was playing and the loan was up to Wenger, still never mind, that put paid to Cahill then.
Great news is that Wenger has confirmed Chezzer is the new Arsenal number one, that is indeed top, top news, stay un-injured boy and you’ll go far, we are a different team with you in and you have the support of this blog. Almunia is being told to fight for his place, how bizarre, he’ll only get in if Chezzer or Fab get injured, so unless he means fight them, like beat them up, I don’t see how fighting for his place works, still he’s back for the Huddersfield game tomorrow.
For those of you who didn’t know where Huddersfield is, it’s North of Watford and South of Norway, we’re at home though, so it doesn’t matter!
Now we know that Arsene will make wholesale changes, so I will guess the team, question is do we get fined like Blackpool did or are the big two exempt?
Here’s my guess for manana’s team.
Almunia
Eboue Squillaci Koscielny (or Miquel) Gibbs
Denilson Diaby Song
Bendtner Chamakh Arshavin
That’s my guess, we are running out of options as we seem happy to supply the rest of the league with loanees, so I’m thinking with Rosicky injured then Diaby who is fit, will step in, either way it’s a game where Pedro and I may well be rested, seems a long way to go to watch a second string play a conference side, so maybe resting the fans is no different to resting the players, I wonder how Ivan would feel about that, you know if we followed the leaders mantra and all took the day off!
On the way home on Thursday I met two very nice young ladies who were keen to talk about Le Grove and the Richard Keys and Andy Gray situation, they both said as girls that the whole thing was nonsense, well done girls and a victory for common sense, you were both delightful and it was nice sharing part of my journey with you talking about the Arsenal, you must have thought I was a sad old git! Thank you Cheryl and Jenny!
Have a great day Grovers, tomorrow we’ll see about the mighty Huddersfield and get to see our old boy, Benik Afobe!
the mancs kit is disgusting. the white one they wore against blackpool is worse.

Oxymoron now, Hazard & Hummels in the summer…team sorted for 5 years.
Replace denilson with a tough cunt as well.
Would you feel comfortable with that?
Gambon agree there…
w.silva made his debut for levante today, impressed me as i watching and chamberlin needs to be nurted and he will be really good, has a great burst andd he DOESN’T want to go to united due to limited oppurtunities
Hummels or Howedes would be great great buys. I’d be absolutely ecstatic.
w silva came on on the 88th minute, wtf did he do to impress you?
Rolling.
Gm
If we sign Oxide & Neutrino, Hazard, Hummels & a tough CM like Inler then yes I’d be very happy.
oxy chaerlin, another overated English kid. Shouldn’nt we keep our money for hazard?
Confident
did you see the match and why not both if both are willing…
he made a bit of impact :L, i liked what he’d to that getafe player at the corner, shame about the cross
I fucking hate those cunts
see you later
Laters ppl

and sign another overrated midget
Big Dave,
Never take As word on a player he couldn’t spot Messi if he run up pulled his trousers down and slapped his arse
Kushagra
Watched the 2nd half. Southampton played like a team under a Man U voodo programme – don’t bother or attempt to score, just pass in front of our deefence
Chippy long time…
Nite all ….
midgets have low back lift – a la Messi
Barca being well marshaled by Hercules away.
Dude nearly broke iniesta’s leg
Dani Albee typical fucking cheat
to checkmate barca, close them down and take your breaks. never play a high line
Pedro the cunt.
Breaks the deadlock
1-0 to barca at HT.
Barca score at last.
A better team defending as well as hercules will take barca down. the hercules mid and strikers can hardly string passes together
Confident
They won the ball TWICE and lost it just as quickly due to panic before it fell to xavi to play Pedro in. Should be 0-0 now.
I luv the way Barca press. When you are with the ball, they get 2-3 players on you and its easy to loose possession easily
I luv the way Barca press. When you are with the ball, they get 2-3 players on you and its easy to loose possession easily. its not for lazy players though.
i have just completely written off the barce game.
if almoonia hadnt had the game of his life we would have lost 10 – 2
last year…
Hey fellas,
Anybody got streams for the fight tonight on sky?
incesc – yeah, I’m the same. I’ve basically written off the Champs league – they are just so good. Over 2 legs I just can’t see their extra quality not making the difference.
Hi Geoff
The last two times Song played CB he was superb and yet seemingly at every opportunity that arises you question his ability to play that role, how did you arrive at that conclusion?
think its more the fact he has worked incredibly hard to be a good defensive midfielder and to move him back when we dont have good enough cover is stupid
Yeah, for me the problem isn’t Song at centre back, its the lack of Song in midfield…
london,
because it gives an incompetent Dennilson the opportunity to start in the DM role and both of us know how useless he is in that role.
we could beat any other team in the champions league imo on our day.
but to beat barce you need the sort of gameplan we never ever do…
this guy got knocked out!

Without Barcelona and Real Madrid, there’s been some cracking games in La Liga the past couple of weeks.
is that the wwf of kickboxing?
incesc.
I don’t know hat you mean, but that clip is taken from several different mixed martial arts tournaments.
its a bit like watching man u playing us
rio ferdinand karate kicks and all that!
I have got to say Le Grove is the best Arsenal blog out there. It is always a good read and to the point. I also like the fact that editors take the time to reply to readers. Keep the good work up guys.
Sup Peeps! Weather is so lovely today, that i almost forgot to post here, but after yesterays unnecessary comment by Geoff, I thought for a second if I should really speak my mind…
Anyway..on Szczesny being number one…somehow I don’t see it as literally number 1 for the rest of the season, something in Wenger’s comments doesn’t really make me feel comforted that Chezzer will be retained as number 1 all through.
The team Geoff scribbed could very well be tomorrow’s starting squad..I fear for that team Huddersfield or not.
Was rooting massively for Southampton, Mancs once again didn’t deserve to win. They are really beatable if someone can just pull it up and go for it.
Anyway, Roll on tomorrow, so we can get one FA game out of the way with a win. I doubt we will see Almunia, i hope not…but we should be good enough.
See ya Gooners!
Chamakh = shit.
Dale knows.
Torres is class.

I have afeeling liverpool will accept 40m + Anelka…ita a good deal considering they have suarez now ..
All the Bendtner loving on Arse.com making me sick.
The boy scores one goal and everyone decides to lose their marbles. Give me a break.
morning lads!
have we signed anyone yet?
fuck those dirty mancs someone needs to beat them asap
Mr. David, one of these days Bendy will become a regular and you Sir will most likely abandon watching football that day.
I found it interesting the article on Henry talking with him and Wenger now saying he is effective of the wing. Arsene Wenger could sell a heater to the devil if he had too.
don’t hold your horses Gooby, we won’t be signing anyone. Someone made a good point on having to play Arshavin as a CF last year because we didn’t buy on a shortage of players up front last Dec. I sense deja-vous with Song playing at the back vs. Barca and Vermaelen being declared out for the season in March.
David.Funny that you love Shitmakh,who is the worst striker in recent history to play for us.
And Shitmakh is not half as good as Bendtner.
shitmack?
how creative jaguar!
Bendtner is a god I tell you.
Prince William who? It’s all about His Royal Pinkiness. He smashed Steve Bruce’s daughter while at Birmingham. What a champ.
Morning all, new post!
