Is that a good thing though? Yes of course it is! With Liverpool up next followed quickly by the Spuds, we have the players available to mix it, not sure I would though, me, I believe in keeping a winning team going.
I think the news that we have Song and Diaby fit is good for that DM role, we also have Ramsey and Wilshere that can play there but having Vermaelen back also means we have him or Kozzer that could be drafted in should we need them, we have options at last.
Don’t forget though, for Vermaelen this will be like pre-season, so don’t expect too much.
A lot has been made of Suarez and Carroll, I don’t think Carroll is anywhere near as good as his publicity, he’s just tall and English, Suarez on the other hand I rate, I also wanted him in the summer and he’s the one I would watch.
I think both teams will attack and that should make for an open game, but we have a massive advantage, last night I had a dream, and we were two up, I never finished that dream and we do have a nasty habit of losing leads but I think at two nil with 10 to go, it should be enough.
Many people think that a resurgent Liverpool will be a handful, but they said that about the spuds and we hammered them early in the season, the problem was we lost the game in the end, but I believe we have improved dramatically since then and Kozzer and Djourou are beginning to look secure.
Having Vermaelen back just tightens that up but I think he could play in that Song role a lot better than Song can, I know many will disagree but that’s just my opinion.
Diaby fit will give Wenger a headache as they are his two favourites so who will he choose? Me it would have to be Diaby, both lose the ball equally, but Diaby wins the ball back better and is much more of an attacking threat, Diaby on his day is a top player, but only on his day though!
I think a win against Liverpool will fill this team with confidence and that’s what we need before Wednesday, win this and we could still win the league, lose it and we could fold like a cheap pack of cards bought from a card boot sale on a caravan park.
We still have a whole day to train and see who is fit enough, I can’t wait to see the game, I can’t wait to see who he selects, as long as it’s not Squillaci, Denilson or Rosicky I’ll be okay, he may even use a Chamakh up front, I would prefer he didn’t because we need shots raining down on them from the off, unfortunately doesn’t know how to do that yet.
I hear Marseille are making him their numero uno in the summer, I wouldn’t be upset, get shot of him and Bendtner and bring in two proper goalscorers, now that would be good, or a cheeky bid for Torres, £25mil anyone? Wenger would have to admit he was wrong though and we all know he’s above that, so don’t hold your breath!
Have a great day grovers, the business end begins tomorrow!
Boozy
I’ve heard that touted by Geoff and others. Maybe tv5 could work there. He has all the attributes. And he would be a serious goal threat.
Not at the expense of our cb pairing though.
if we get a top top class CB then yeah he can rotate there, but I’d still want another powerful DM.

Real M – Barca 2-1
Mourinhooo said to the fans and board:
“I tried it your way and got thumped 5-0, lets try it my way now”
*********
at least the cunt is honest and judging from that first half he is right. Madrid should be leading though they are losing the possession count.
Villa-boas has 4 more games to guide porto through to ‘match’ our invincibles feat.
Only 30 games in the season though.
LL
the obvious being casillas,ramos,alonso,khedira,ronaldo,demaria,benzema,alves,xavi,iniesta,messi,villa??
Why are they playing Rihanna at HT?
Rip got ‘bent’ out of shape because Balotelli winked at him.
Ronaldo came close there
haha Jose you cunt. Serves you right.
Albiol a mug.
There also goes the “record” of Messi never scoring against a team managed by Mourinho.
Game over.
Mourinho can go and suck his cock. Atleast we beat Barca at home.
great camera work for pens in la liga.
exactly swede
Pepe’s quite impressive isn’t he. Never rated him but today..
Benzema did nothing in this game haha.
Yeah was just about to say that Lurch. The view from behind the striker is quite a nice touch. Wonder how they’re managing that? Are they lowering a camera from up above?
haha Ronaldo looks like he’s sulking.
its a system thats been around a while rohan, cameras on a gyro that has servo’s connected to guide wires that can move pretty much all over the pitch, to go up and down they just slacken the wires. its pretty mad tech.
Very cool, Lurch. They should implement that in the premiership, it being the league with the most money and all that.
Servos? haha takes me back to the days I used to play around with robotics for fun. good days those.
Haha. You’re writing as if Chelsea didn’t prove that about 5 years ago! Man City winning a semi final is the proof you were waiting for was it?!
its probably a little more complicated than the old tamiya kit you get the drift
*but you get the drift…
Oh fuck.
Adecunts touch is so poor. Haha.
Soft pen. Ref gave in to the crowd
Weird ref if that was pen so was the one in the first half..
don’t understand why you want barca to win rohan?
Goes to show how much of an influence a crowd can be.
Hate Mourinho. Plus given that we beat them at home, don’t want Jose to do the same.
Not to mention that I respect Barcelona for their football even though I hate everything else about them.
Madrid are just a bunch of rich bastards trying to beat Barca by outspending them. Hate the whole Galacticos thingy.
This is how you play barca with a man down
Is it possible to be completely neutral when watching a football game?
Don’t think so. Even if it’s Spurs Chelsea, I always end up rooting for someone.
La Liga over.
Honestly, on the balance of play, Madrid deserved to win this game.
That was a 1-1 victory for Real…poor officiating though
wanted madrid to win. hate barca.
Every top club spends a fortune on their academy and youth project. We’re certainly not different. But ‘spent’ in terms of transfer fees IS at least included in the figures I noted.
Well, I know nothing about other clubs, but I’d imagine they spend very similar amounts on their backroom staff. And we haven’t yet made profit from the property, we’ve simply paid off the loan. Any profit we make from property is yet to be realised. (The AST does actually mention that)
No, it deals with the finances as a whole. See above.
Perhaps, but actually Tim Payton confirmed to Pedro that actually our kids aren’t paid huge amounts. And the transfer fees for those kids are included in the figures, so the net £37 million still stands.
Well, surely David Dein would have handled those negotiations, not Wenger? Right?
Again, wouldn’t that be either Dein (or later Gazidis) who deals with that?
You make the odd valid point until you resort to the insults again. I actually made most of the negative points you make about Wenger’s tactics and refusal to strengthen key areas in my original post, though you seem to ignore that.
And in financial terms, the points you have made are pretty superficial compared to the overall point I made about the money that was available. Every club has an academy, and from what I have read, if we spend more on ours than other top clubs it is a pretty negligible amount more.
The whole point of my post was exactly that – people obsessing with (relatively) smaller details and negatives and ignoring the bigger picture…

******
What the fuck?! Never rated him, are you mad. He is the only defender that has cost 25m that didnt make me raise an eyebrow when I heard of the sale.
Acted like a cunt when he kicked that player about 5 times HARD in the back and got a 10 game ban though.
cunt count
barca 11
madrid 2 (maureen and the shemale)
no contest
just hate barca
ON the bright side, Barca drawing now means we can do one of those silly aggregate score comparisons that Gambon likes so much!
Barca beat Real 6-1 and us 4-3 so we are like…63.7869% better than Real Madrid…or something…
Do we have more money coming in from property??
if so how much?
I thought that was done and dusted and paid of towards the loan
3.5 RM cunts, the togo & the dolphin headed twats.
Swedish Gun – not sure how much, but there is profit still to come. The big announcement was cos we had paid off the loan, rather than cos we had realised all the profit we were going to.
The impression from the AST is that that profit will come in over the next couple of years and will tie us over until the new sponsorship deal comes in…
albo
we won at the grove so we are gazilion miles better..or something…or not

If you are not on Wenger’s payroll you have been gyped, you are constantly on here making excuses for failure and incompetence.
LL
then we have to add some barca bench cnuts
Swedish – precisely! Go us
MatthewT – and you are constantly on here moaning that we don’t have a sugar daddy. It sucks to be us!
Odemwingies chip on match of the day
Vela must be teaching it to him lool
Tough game tomorrow…hard to predict. We have a full strength squad more or less so we should win imo
But then again I have this silly feeling we will see a red that will spoil the day
2-0 if nothing stupid happens
0-1 if the silly feeling comes into play
hmmm…maybe I should predict a draw to cover my bets
Full strength I’d fancy us to win Swedish. But if Djourou and co are lacking match fitness, we might be in trouble…
Oh wow the boys with the most money beat the boys with the most debt.
Wow business must be booming lurch, do u ever get off your arse & do anything other than be a smart arse on here
Ha Ha Ha Lunch Laughed outa Australia. & now laughed @ from Australia
See ya dodey, business calls
albo
what’s your prediction for the run in?
1.
2.
3.
4.
I think we end up 3rd but got a little glimmer of hope now that both chezzer and djourou is back
can everyone STAY fit then mby mby…..
Seb larson really has had an excellent season.
Hey George!
Go well mungla.
I know this is a total cop out, Swedish, but this has been such a bonkers season I just don’t see how anyone can call any of it. I mean, if a few weeks ago you had told me that, despite having our entire strikeforce fit, we would struggle to score goals against Sunderland and Blackburn I’d have laughed at you!
I do think the 4 will probably be Man U, Us, Chelsea, Man City and I must say I’ll be really surprised if Man U don’t win it. But beyond that, who fucking knows…
Tomorrows a win. WIN I said.
“Madrid are just a bunch of rich bastards trying to beat Barca by outspending them. Hate the whole Galacticos thingy”
True Wenger student…
Money is evil, money is evil, over 25 year olds are evil, non frenchmen are evil.
‘Money is evil, money is evil’
Haha. Spoken like a true merchant wanker
oh dear
AW
On the question of kroenke, is there no billionaires in England? Why do I never hear that some Englishman is looking to buy some club in the PL.
Is Mike Ashley a billionaire?
i rate adam johnson more than hazzad, if city can get that illusive CL spot. we should make a bid for him. maybe around 15m
New post
