So we signed Gervinho, err no we didn’t, we signed Gervais Yao Kouassi, so his name isn’t even real. He changed his name to sound like he is going to be good, I sure hope he is, me I would have preferred a centreback like Cahill, and he can speak English.
I listened to Gervinho’s first interview, in French, and we wonder why we have no grit in this team, I don’t mind French speaking players, but at least sign someone that can speak the same language as the rest of the team. (and don’t say he does!)
I watched the interview until the stock Arsenal question was asked, ‘how much of a factor was Arsene Wenger in your decision to move here’ Oh please, how much more smoke does he need blown up his bottom, every player we ever sign gets asked the same question.
What would happen if for once they said this… ... No actually, it was the money, you paid me silly money to join, it wouldn’t had mattered if Micky mouse were the manager the dosh you are paying me is unbelievable, I couldn’t say no, sorry who did you say was manager again?
That’s why Fabregas joined wasn’t it! I’ll talk about Cesc, the poor little kidnap victim from La Masia later in the post.
Ian Wright is an Arsenal record breaker and a much loved ex-player, but sometimes he doesn’t think things through when he opens his mouth.
A few seasons ago he wrote an article saying how the foreign players don’t understand the English players passion for the Spud Derby, at the time I asked if Thierry or Robert Pires were ever on the losing side? I asked if Freddie felt that way when he got sent off at the end at Shite Hart Lane once? Or if Patrick lacked the passion or if Lehman did, and even Ade loved to score against them, he thought about it and came on the post to apologise.
Next up he asked if we were becoming Man City’s feeder club, I retorted about him advising his son to go to Chelsea for the money, had he come to Arsenal, he would have been a hero, he would have been an England regular and still in our team now, he would have been the son of ‘Ian Wright’ and carried on the family business, but thanks to the fatherly advice, his career has been spent in the toilet, he has however made a shed loads of money, I wonder what those two talk about over their Sunday roast and if Cesc or Nasri come into the conversation?
That now brings me nicely onto those players, I hear much talk about loyalty from people in our team.
Let’s go onto Cesc, he has been sulking about a move to Barca for the last two years, and still is, he lets his friends from Barca diss us all the time yet says nothing.
Mate it’s time to stop letting people slag your girlfriend off and be a real man.
And by that I mean what he is letting his Barca boyfriends do to Arsenal is the equivalent of letting another bloke slag your girlfriend off in front of you and turning away with your hands over your ears, either you are a complete coward, or you don’t like your girlfriend any more.
So what is it Cesc?
If he loved them so much then why leave them in the first place, it can’t have been because he had Xavi and Iniesta ahead of him because he still has, it was for money, because Wenger offered him a lot more than Barca were paying him. Greed. No ifs or buts, greed.
Then we offered him a massive 8 year contract which put his wages on a different planet to all his team mates and tied him to the club until he was 28, he accepted, Wenger crowed. Oh, and the transfer kitty went down to pay for it, and all was well at Arsenal.
3 years into it he was so rich money didn’t matter anymore and he wanted to play for a team that won things. That by the way isn’t us.
Wenger did the only thing he knows, he bribed him further, he offered him another massive pay rise to stay and play a third of last season.
One year on and he is still bleating, and his Barca chums are still dissing this football club. Only this time kidnapping has been added to the list of wrongs, kidnapping for goodness sake!
Cesc can stop all this by telling them to cease talking on his behalf, he has a 4 year contract left, a massive salary and he is staying.
He won’t though because he is a greedy bastardo, greedy because he wants his cake, he has earned a fortune from us, now he wants to win trophies somewhere else.
And the latest on the Cesc debacle is our manager is apparently offering him £135k a week to sign yet another long term contract, this time until 2017.
What is the matter with us??? He wants out of his current long term contract and we are trying to bribe him to sign another, imagine what Barca would be like for the next 6 years!
As far as I’m concerned, offering that sort of money for someone who prefers another club and is a crock is unbelievably stupid, I just can’t believe our entire board are that stupid.
And you know what? There are others we could bring in that would move the ball quicker and not go missing in big games, Vieira never did. Screw the stats, Denilson had better stats than anyone.
Then we have Nasri, who I rate higher if he were given the central role, he wants to go not for money, but for silverware, and I don’t blame him. Had we just paid him what he wanted he would have signed a deal, it’s like Cashley all over again.
The pay rise he wants is still half of what Rooney gets, pay him and use Denilson’s salary to fund it. Talking of our 20 minute Brazilian maestro, that we have been saying is crap for 4 of his 5 years with us, he is so good that no one wants him, that says a lot for the £3.8mil we paid for him in the first place doesn’t it??? San Paulo are taking him on loan, great. Still at least he’s going.
Why we continue to play useless squad players is beyond me, why are Eboue, Rosicky, Diaby and Squillaci still there? And earning big bucks.
Ryo and Jenkinson had their moments but they are nowhere near ready yet, Frimpong already looks at the same level as Song, and the midfield of Ramsey, Wilshere and Nasri is awesome and that I applaud but what if they get injured?
Gibbs is a crock and Traore isn’t good enough, we need a left back.
Rosicky hasn’t got it anymore so we should get rid of him and bring in Mata, Chamakh offers nothing, get rid of him and bring in Benzema or Lukaku, if not then let one of our reserves have a go.
It was great to watch our boys in action again and I do like the blue kit, there were two things that we did that we learned nothing from last season, the first was defending, which we are still rubbish at, even though we played against midgets that weren’t very good, no offence.
And the second was, we passed the ball to death in front of goal, now those two things cost us dear last term, you would think Wenger would have put that right wouldn’t you???
So what we need is someone to stand up to him and be counted, the manager is saying we can defend, we clearly can’t and the world can see that. Time for Kroenke or Gazidas to be counted and tell Wenger he is very, very wrong and we need to sign a decent defender and get rid of the rubbish.
If he doesn’t, our season will be over before August has gone and we’ll all be speculating about who we’ll sign in the next window, and I for one can’t handle another year of that.
Have a great day Grovers, chew on that one.

Oh to answer your fat joke, dude, I’m about to go play the “Cesc Fabregas” way in about 2 hours, i’m fit as a nimble cat son! don’t even go there
Let incesc do the Mickey D’s joke, leggo, don’t indulge with the little one.
I’m assuming you’re a man sweet boy?
@Dale…dyamn I could replace Wenger. Barton as Cesc replacement and the title is our destiny. We got ze mental strength…well a bit excessive but we do.
SUGA, on a serious note, tell me 5 things you really like about the current Arsenal, forgetting all the doom that befalls us at the moment, just 5 things you can talk about that excites you about being a Leyton…sorry i mean Arsenal fan…..go on?
schooled me? keep them coming mate, seriously!
I can’t be bothered with your ‘logic’, you, sir, are a completely clueless soccerball loving gullible mug with a bipolar personality who gets off on posting some incomprehensible rubbish thinking he is the dog’s bollocks and making himself look like a complete tool in the process…
‘DaleDaGooner, making himself look like a complete cunt since 2010′
SUGA3 says:
July 21, 2011 at 21:36
and by the way, Dale, did you notice how I ignored your childish ‘are you a ManYoo supporter’ nonsense?
watch and learn, I tell ye…
=======
hahaha, you proper ignored that.
Actually fuck this. Stop bickering or I’m calling Pedro.
it was only by the grace of god that arsenal did not concede against malaysia…need i remind of the gaffs made by both djourou and squillaci, our 3 and 4 cb? i think either comparison is poo, and is not a barometer of how well arsenal will do in relation to how well scouse and chavs will do, or how well the filth will do. it is pre-season…time to figure out the kinks (though we all know them) and work on those areas.
Dale,
- RvP
- Vermaelen
- Szczesny
- Wilshere
- Sagna
now fuck off…
Ha ha…Rohan. don’t make him look like an ass now
Rohan,
shut your fucking gob, you little sucking up so and so…
Dale, i hate to but in your little beef with suga but you chat complete & utter shite..
The gas that comes out of your mouth when you speak must be killing the poor folks around you.
ok, ok, SUGA, friends?
By the way, Barcelona have officially signed Alexis Sanchez.
Good way of showing Cesc he is their priority. At this rate, i honestly can’t see where he’s going to fit in.
Iniesta will just drop back into midfield. Sanchez will alternate with Pedro. Cesc will be on the bench.
Well done SUGA. It’s honestly so easy to wind you up.
Why thanks Ricky……take care
Dale,
best friends forever
Rohan, the boy, Cesc, is just taking the piss, I mean, he must be really behind the wind up Xavi and his bum friends spout every week, Tired of it…they cough up for Alexis “One season hit” Sanchez and they insult us continually
SUGA, i’m serious, i’m extending an olive branch, it makes no sense ….
rohan-
wonder when alexis sanchez will make his perfunctory claim that cesc has barca dna?
dale
come down newark and say that!
…But expect me to set you straight if you go off tangent again, ok SUGA
Nothing personal dale.
Still my got love for my fellow gooners.
Btw, suga, i got orient season tickets for me & my 2 boys for a very,very good price.
frenchie, you know it’s in the final details of his contract to bat an eye lid to Cesc, which he hasn’t gotten to sign yet, once he signs it, he is obligated to mention Cesc Fabregas 2 times and Barca twice, cum 2ce too
http://www.skysports.com/rohan_says_ arsenal_ to _sign_mata
Fucked that up didn’t you incesc with the space
Alright guys, I’m off to go rest up and play some footy…remember, there is only one Arsene, In Arsene we trust, and AKBs are lovely folks.
Dale,
don’t you worry, I am straight enough as it is…
I am really not fussed either way, I don’t mind a good banter or a serious discussion…
but yeah, peace, just don’t get jumpy or you’ll get slapped like a bitch
Ricky,
I used to go to Orient games when I was a local, I like the ground and would love a flat there!
the only smoking seats in the whole joint
haha, sadly i’m not a good hacker rohan
…side note, i don’t condone using AKB or any other labels, we are all Gooners\Gunners.
LMAO…SUGA, Let it go! “slap like a bitch” what? you slap you dog before shagging it? LMAO
Alright guys, keep the bum tight
@Rohan……Mate the problem is the ball is in their court. Cesc only wants to go there and they can get him on the cheap which they will. As for them showing him the love……Pep mentioned they have been saving money to bring their lost child home and thats the part Cesc’s ears would love/want to hear. He won’t bother about who they are signing first or not or will he get a first team place or not. David Villa has a “weakness”(no wonder they have such good team chemistry) for him u know.
I have feeling Iniesta maybe sold this summer or the next.
Ade training with Shitty’s youth team, you can see him jumping around with them and hugging out…
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2017426/Emmanuel-Adebayor-trains-Manchester-Citys-youth-team.html?
I hope Pedro just takes today’s comments section and puts it on some sort of loop throughout the next few weeks.
The battle of wits is fascinating.
PV4 tells us all what we knew allready, we are to soft.
Wish he was back at the club, fucking cityyy
I heard interesting news
we cant all do mum jokes keyser…
campbell deal still breathing…
http://www.teletica.com/teleticadeportes/detalle.php?id=104430
ben arfa.
bullet dodged.
incesc – Which is why you should be held up as an example to us all.
The comments here are at an all time low.
If Arsene doesnt give keyser some ammo to fight the doomers this blog is fucked, no way he can fight the brave fight using his new “Arsene is a cunt but he is the best cunt there is” excuse for much longer.
Love you really mate
WHere are you Keyser?
ok call me a cunt tomorrow, I am gonna sleep.
phillipe Auclair on a few things arse & his gut feeling that the Uzbek comes and rescues us in 6-8 months time.
http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/kickoff/blog/2011-07-21/philippe-auclair-newcastle-arsenal-and-all-latest-transfer-tales
WTL – Ah mate, to be fair, I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of a challenge. nowdays people just end up arguing against themselves if you give them long enough.
Lurch – Do you think maybe that without Rupert Murdochs media empire being able to tap peoples phones, this could have led to the increase in bullshit stories ?!
could be a correlation there Keyser….
one could also argue that our collective ‘appetite’ for bullshit has been fueled by the spying – celebs getting busted, deals being exposed it all just makes the plebiscite want more no?
its bonkers the reach Newscorp has into the western cultural psyche.
Lurch
At this point i don’t see the fat bastard as a threat anymore. i am tired of being the club that plays by the rules while everyone else is fucking us over let him come and and eat abramovic and the arabs
wow Gooby im a little shocked by that tbh, didn’t see that coming.
I was just thinking of the sporting angle, though in recent days I’ve been drawn to several interesting articles on The Sun website, namely the 3rd nipple on the foot, the washed up corpse of a marine mammal ? A form of whale or the actual Loch Ness Monster, and today’s shooting of El Chupachabra, also freaky alien monkey.
thank fuck denilson is off.
I’m not completely sold on the Uzbek and I’d like see SKE oil the machine first, so as to ensure our next round of commercial deals are brokered on the back of some success.
But if we end up going into the season having missed our defensive targets and being weaker offensively for the sake of the self sustaining model, yeah its gonna get medieval in the goonersphere.
i don’t think i am going to handle the rest of the summer if i didn’t shoot a couple of manure fans, it’s like all their supporters are clueless fools
wenger dropped a hint about buying a tall fucker at the back to defend set pieces as we are about as effective as a bunch of drunken hobbits on corners and ifk.
he should keep his promise
I’m veering the other way really, footballers are already paid too much and I think the Premiership peaked around the 08 season.
I’m thinking fuck’em, the last World Cup was pretty shit and the Copa America was one of the worst tournaments I’ve ever watched. Hopefully they all crash and burn at some point.
yeah keyser but sporting wise there just isn’t anything happening in the window at the moment, its stagnating big time… a couple of hundred million spent early doors, and nothing in the last fortnight really. you can judge it by the amount of comments on here as well. besides i’d say the hacking approach got canned a couple of years ago…
i forget, were the squidgy tapes hacked by journo’s or MI5?
but yeah i remember the Sun being a load more nonsensical as a kid.
If auclairs crystal ball is anything to go by then good times ahead.
Long live the fat uzbeck! We so badly need dein back more then any single person on of off field.
salary cap is the solution, some wages are just disgraceful. people work their arse off every day while a cunt like balotelli is earning millions every month
just don’t see that economic bubble bursting anytime soon Keyser.
Spain, France & Brazil are gonna have an explosion of clubs in the next few years…
yeah Denilson leaving is a great, diaby’s gonna become our next donkey if he’s not carefull.
Haha that lofty groping some girls boobs on Banzai.
FFP is a salary cap.
Lurch LeRouge – I think we’ve been over this in some respects before, maybe there just isn’t anything surprising happening anymore, the internets just completely over-loaded with people trying to uncover something new when there’s little to go on or nothing new to report.
Likewise with the comment section, I’m sure there’s been an increase in the amount of people ‘intheknow’.
The Economic bubble might not burst, but the talent pool’s being saturated, how many times can you give an Adebayor a payrise before you realise he wasn’t worth the last one.
Ricky you gotta take anything on talksport with a massive dose of salt.
shit would have to go pear shaped pretty damn quick for the cowboy to get run out of town with his tail between…within 8 months.
Auclair knows he gets asked on the show more if his ‘insights’ generate loads of phone ins… its a bloody circus that lot.
More airtime for him = bigger profile yadayada
Generally agree except one bit
Are you taking the piss when you say that cesc ain’t that great at cm? Amd that nasri is bette yhere?
Nasri creates shockingly little
And cesc has been one of the best in the world for years and has unbelievable creativity and vision. As well as has had better stats than nasri and doesn’t go missing in big games
Look qt him bs spurs Madrid juve etc
Nasri? Fulham west brom?
yeah thats an interesting question your asking keyser…
evolutionary biologists would liken it to a feedback loop…
at what point do we pass the point diminishing return for players before the feedback in the loop becomes negative.
Its difficult to answer that when player wages are already such an abstraction…
The tricky thing is our relationship with sporting idols defies regular brand association, I’m not sure ‘we’d’ ever really think enough’s enough tbh.
Lurch LeRouge you are a fucking legend…..
Could there be any truth to Arsene wanting to leave Arsenal for the last two or three years? Luciano Moggi( ex Juventus chairman ) suggested that Inter and Juve should have tried to get him on board as he knew Wenger wanted to leave last season. Moggi is bloody genius and he is very rarely wrong about stuff. What I find interesting is Wenger is regularly in touch with DD(I just heard this not sure) and the current board are adamant to keep him away from the club. Don’t the board feel suspicious of all this?
Here’s a contradiction in our buying policy for a central defender.
1. We know and have stated that there is a premium for English central defenders.
2. We have stated that we are looking for a central defender with Premier League experience.
3. By various accounts, there are now 4 central defenders we are looking at with Premier League experience; Samba, Cahill, Dann and Jagielka. 3 of them are ‘over-priced’ English players.
4. Dann has been out since January with hamstring problems. Jagielka and Samba have long-term contracts and Cahill is being offered at a huge premium.
5. We’re putting in bids and they are getting summarily rejected for the same reason we complained about in the first place, essentially that English players are overpriced. Samba signed a new deal in January, so that’s an uphill battle in itself.
I disagree with those that say it’s not a problem paying over the odds for a player. However, it looks like we’ve set ourselves up to miss out on our key targets because our energy is focused on players that are either locked into long-term deals or under contract.
The logical player to look at is Cahill. He has one year left on his deal but we can’t agree on a price with Bolton. Is it possible that we will go for him in January? Unless it’s a foreign-based player (which Arsene said is not the priority in this position), I can’t see another player who could fit the bill unless Blackburn cave on Samba. Or could Arsene go against his preference and end up taking Mertesacker instead?
What we should really watch out for is Blackburn and Bolton signing a new central defender (in Blackburn’s case 2 central defenders). As for Bartley, we should send him on loan to Bolton or Blackburn as part of a deal. Of course, there’s no guarantee they’ll want him.
Keep the faith!

He is spot o
37 million for sanchez??the guy who scored 10 goals and had 12 assists last season??Great talent but hardly worth 37.Cesc was injured for half the season and had 9 goals and 17 assists..Barca should just fuck right off

JIMBO,
where in Arsenal financial reports states they reserves or even have a cushion of 35-45 million to spend on players recruit per year?
What load of garbage!!
Wenger is employed by the board of directors at arsenal. They are the only one and can be the only one who can sack him … Tomorrow you go back to your place and work and make statements against your boss and you think you will in that job for long?
Arsenal since their financing for the stadium has been limited to spend around 5-10 million NET Max on players into the club at most. Wenger has to buy and can buy players around that price for the last six years.
Read and under financial reports and accounting before you make comments from british media.
During the period Arsenal has been competing against Chelsea who can buy the cream of the crop players 30-50 million. And Man united too. You are buying a british mini and racing against a ferrari. Who you reckon going to win 99.9999 of the times?
SACK WENGER is just load of rubbish.
You reckon you can go and shop at LV with $10 in your pocket?
Some further results from The Arsenal Supporters Trust survey make interesting reading……..
“Do you think that if Arsenal does not win a trophy next season (which would be the seventh successive year without one) that the Board should conclude that Arsène Wenger has taken the club as far as he can”?
42% said yes, 40% said no, and 18% were unsure.
( And there is no groundswell of support for removing Wenger ? )
“Do you think that Arsène Wenger’s football philosophy takes too much precedence over the objective of winning trophies”?
69% of people agreed that the football philosophy was taking precedence
“Do you agree with Arsenal’s decision to increase season ticket and general admission ticket prices by 6.5percent this year”?
Overwhelming 78% disagree with season ticket increase
“Do you agree with Ivan Gazidis that the cost of attending live football is in danger of pricing supporters out of football and that the Club should make affordability a key priority of its ticketing review”?
96% of people agreed.
“Do you think that the ticket prices Arsenal charge provide good value for money”?
50% of people think that ticket prices are NOT good value for money
“Reflecting on your own relationship with Arsenal and reviewing recent years, do you now feel a strongersense of belonging to the club”?
50% of people said no to this question
“Do you think the Arsenal Board and its senior executives are in touch with Arsenal fans and have a goodunderstanding of their hopes and concerns for the future of the club”?
Only 8% of people said “Yes” they were in touch
“Do you think Kroenke should invite Red and White Holdings, which owns a 27 percent stake in the Club, to join the Board”?
70% said yes, Usmanov should join the board
” In Arsene we rust.”
