My point is that after every loss last season and this, the players always say they’ll learn from this, they owe it to the fans, they’ll come back stronger, but they don’t do any of the above so I wish they’d just stop saying it.
Something like we aren’t worth the money we are paid so will donate it to the miners fund or something similar, may go a lot further.
Anyway forget all that, this team is going nowhere with this current management at the helm so I’m not getting too excited either way, however tonight is a different issue, tonight we get to see the players that haven’t yet been affected too much and will go out and give us a performance to lift our spirits, like in the first game at Shite Hart lane last season when our reserves tore the spuds a new one, remember that? I do, it was one of our rare victories!
I was thinking what his team will be tonight so this is my best guess.
Fabianski
Jenkinson Mertesacker Miquel Santos
Frimpong Yossi Coquelin
Rio Park Chamberlain
With Afobe and Rosicky if fit amongst the others on the bench.
I think he play Mertesacker to give him games that he sorely needs and Santos to get fit. Anyway Gibbs is probably injured so he won’t be available, Frimpong and Coquelin in the middle with Yossi for experience and a brand new forward line which I have to say fills me with excitement, and given that our current forward line will be sold next summer we should at least start bedding them in early, and a team like Shrewsbury would be ideal, and something that even Wenger and Rice, the Laurel and Hardy of the EPL should be able to handle.
I think that Flappy in goal will be okay for this one but don’t get him near the first team door and Miquel will relish the chance to show how good he will be, thing is I think he’s better than Kozzer and Squillaci already, talking of Squillaci I will be happy if he stays out all season, he really is a liability.
Jenkinson is a boy I like, though nowhere near ready yet, he is one for the future, Frimpong and Coquelin once again have their chance and I’m backing them to succeed big time.
I had a dream on Sunday, Cesc (who can’t stop talking about us) was so upset at the shite results we have been getting, asked Barca if he could go back on loan until the end of the season as he felt responsible, then yesterday I read that Cesc says he won’t rule out coming back to Arsenal and a buy-back, first option is in the contract, in 4 years he’ll be 27 and Thiago will be 23 so you never know.
I suspect by then Jack will be the best midfielder in the world, though you’ll probably have to go to Madrid to watch him!
I know it’s only the Carling Cup but for me it’s still the League Cup and when we beat the much fancied Liverpool in 1987 (I was there) we kicked on and became successful, so who knows eh?
Maybe I do for once! Big score tonight, tip our front three to score a bagful, 6nil. Enjoy your night Grovers, this could be a fun one.
P.S. If anyone has a pair of spares they’re looking to shift on, let me know, I have a buyer.

Course I meant facial likeness! Do you think I’m as thick as Stu?
are you suggesting zeus is as thick as stu?
It puts the lotion on its skin. Haha. I love that quote. I wonder if wenger has an obsession with kids because he wants to harvest their skin. He was fattening up nasri and arsha, so I wouldn’t discount the idea straight away…
some people really need to get themselves something at least remotely resembling life:

I texted Radio 5 to say that we’d cheered AW towards the end of the game and that Pete from Le Grove did not represent the majority of supporters. They called me and asked me to speak. I told Pete that he was a hater and pointed out that he allows people to regularly call AW a c u n t. Later they apologised for a caller spelling out a rude word.
I texted in to apologise but complain about Pete being allowed to air his views in public. They called me back and said that they would look at Le Grove before having him back on the radio. I think I will write to the Radio 5 controller today, to repeat my complaint and maybe keep him off the air.
What a fucking prick!
The let time i looked we were a free democracy, advocating free speech, and free opinions…..
One home win (and a struggled one at that) against a lower league team, and these fucking lemmings are brushing the last six and half months under the carpet…..
I don’t know what’s more vomit inducing, the excuse making woeful management of the club or these myopic arse-licking “fans”….
Oxo’s goal kind of reminds me of Almunia diving out of the way of that Tehoue strike in the FA Cup last season although the former was further out.
Okay maybe not dive out the way but misread the trajectory. Shrewsbury played some good football especially in the first half, the defending was poor for the first goal..
Limestogunner: what a douche you are.
Is this the only thing you read on le grove?
Right then. Ban gambon and co. off Le Grove today.
Better ban me then, I wrote it!
Gazidas is as deluded as Wenger, but then he gets rewarded for failure like his manager, so why am I surprised, if he had any guts at all, he would face me and I will counter his silly little argument, if he shows me why I’m wrong, I’ll stop writing.
He’s been at Arsenal for 5 minutes and he’s an expert, Jesus!
Rohan..
I do agree that post from Suga3 (taken from ACLF) is not helpful and I don’t agree with personal attacks on the man at all… I do believe if the blog is to get a public hearing we do need to be more restrained in our personal criticism. However, Pedro can say it is not reflective of the majority here, he does not condone it, and that nevertheless, there is a lot of anger expressed by the bloggers here… At least it’s not some of the more over the top stuff we’ve seen on here which seems to have been eradicated. So action has been taken against personal attacks.
Secondly, Everyone (except AW) is a cunt or scum, over on ACLF if you criticise him… The media (and the conspiracy), The doomers, The fans, the non-believers. It’s all bad luck and biased ref’s. It’s something small wrong with the team that The God will fix. Have faith. Go over there and say something against AW or criticise his decisions and you’ll be called a cunt pretty quickly…
Going on daily comments this blog is much larger than ACLF so who is representative of who? Kettle, Pot, Black? (ACLF)
If you are a non-believer on there you are not tolerated. Talk about free speech! Kettle, Pot black? (ACLF)
I wonder if poor Bernard has wrote to Sky about Utd and Spurs fans nasty chants about Wenger. I’d like to know how such a sensitive soul copes with being at a football ground at all.
As usual an AKB doesn’t have an argument, so resorts to petty and vindictive behaviour.
Talking about sponsorship and ManchesterUnited being far far ahead of us, i had be thinking are the whole Arsenal sleeping for all these years? I lived in Asia and Liverpool, Man United had been reaching to their Asia fans for so many years as far back as 10years ago for what i could remember. Arsenal not only is a joke on the pitch, they are a joke off the pitch. 2011 was the year they finally woke up from their deep slumber and start reaching out to overseas fans.
