Let’s start with Theo Walcott, none of us need his contract situation explaining but it seems like he’s going nowhere, well not in January.
When asked if Walcott would be staying until the end of the season, Wenger replied:
Yes, my intention has always been to keep Theo. We continue to talk and the ambition is to find an agreement.
At the moment, we don’t have that agreement, but we have until the end of December to resolve this. I am always optimistic. I talk to Theo every day, but not always about his contract. I let his agents deal with that.
Well I think that is sensible, what is the point in selling him for a pittance when we need him? We’d only have to replace him and that would cost a lot of money. In any case, he may yet sign on that dotted line, he certainly looks happy enough but then so did you know who before he left.
According to Sky Sports, Nicklas Bendtner wants to return to London when his current loan spell comes to an end, and he would not rule out following in the footsteps of William Gallas and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Bendtner told bold.dk:
History is filled with examples of players moving between rival clubs and I can’t rule out clubs due to where I might have been in the past, it might not be the best idea but if the project matches my ambitions I would have to be interested.
Good luck there to Nik, he is certainly trying to ensure he never plays for us again.
Whilst talking about Tottenham, let’s go back to Saturdays game.
Many Gooners were whooping and cheering after the game no doubt. Before the game, many fans had little doubt that we would send the pretenders home with their tails between their legs. Many said they were not in our league and the same fans suggested they never will be.
We can boast a good victory now that the game is over but whilst the game was 11 against 11 I didn’t think we looked very convincing. In fact we had gone a goal behind and could have quite easily conceded a second. We weren’t looking looking that good to me.
After Arsenal reject Adebayor got himself sent off, for what the referee thought was a straight red card tackle, the scales started tilting our way.
I am not going to argue whether I thought the challenge deserved a sending off or not but for a first tackle at such an early stage in the match, I was a bit surprised to see the red card being branded.
Personally, I have never thought that Adebayor was a dirty player he always seemed to me to be a very sporting kind of fella but it was a high tackle and rules are rules but I felt the ball was there to win.
Pundits and commentators were quick to point out that Adebayor was really pumped up for the game they felt that was the reason for the tackle. They also said straight away that if we went onto win because of the one man advantage it would be solely down to Adebayors rush of blood challenge.
I felt as if they were trying to tell viewers that there was possibly unfinished business between him and Arsenal FC which I don’t believe for one minute.
The game went on and of course the sending off made a difference, we came into the game, started to take control and we equalised fairly quickly and soon scored a second as Tottenham looked very shaky. They hadn’t come to terms with being a man down and despite doing all they could, they went in at half time 3-1 down.
During the break, AVB made a couple of substitutions but instead of trying to beef his defence up he set up to be more competitive and they did manage to stem the Arsenal flow for a while.
Inevitably though, we got a 4th goal and at this point, I thought the opposition would collapse but credit where it’s due, they continued to attack our goal and managed to beat Szczesny to make it 4-2.
Arsenal players and fans were a bit surprised. I certainly was after our poor defending was again called into question and once Bale had scored, I was thinking that the game could yet end up being drawn. That is what our defending has done to my confidence or rather, lack of it.
Our fifth goal made me relax a lot more, knowing the points were in the bag!
Tottenham deserve full credit for never giving up they despite having been under the cosh since the sending off.
Arsene Wenger said after the game that he was very happy with the result. He praised several players but he also said that our confidence has been low of late and we were nervous out there.
5-2 with ten minutes to go and we still looked nervous, we tried to slow the game down, we tried to play keep ball and we even tried time-wasting tactics but the thing is we still looked vulnerable on the break. The result will go a long way towards boosting confidence but I still think we have problems which need addressing.
We should be confident, especially at 5-2 with ten minutes left of the game. We should have been battering on the Totts door, not allowing them to keep lightly tapping on ours.
Many supporters were singing the praises of Giroud but his lack of pace is very noticeable, the same can be said of Mertsacker, who was at fault for their second goal. His lack of pace cost us dear and I think it will again in the future.
We must lose our nervousness and let the free flow of our game rise to the surface again and get the pace back in our game that we found at times on Saturday, only when we are facing eleven players!
After all, we can’t play against ten each weekend can we……!
Written by Steve Palmer
We were only 5-2 up in the last minute…..not with 10 mins. to go.
We can only hope that the victory gives our team the confidence to turn our season around, but apart from giving us the north london bragging rights, the performance in itself showed the usual frailties.. Confidence is every thing, so here’s hoping.
Good morning all,
A fine post again Sir Steve.
Yes the Ade-da-whore sending off helped us but that is like saying if ‘arry was he charge on saturday they would not have been 1 man short like Alan Smith tried to say on saturday.
Playing 10 vs 11 does not guarantee a win. An example is the PSG vs Stade Rennais where the super oilers played against a 9 man team but still lost 2-1 to MVillas team.
http://myfooty.tv/video/psg-vs-rennes-highlights-1-2
With all due respect, I think the tackle was a clumsy, but none the less sending off offense, Abledireor was banned for 3/4 games for dragging his studs across the badgers face when he was on the floor so his character is not just a PR disaster off the pitch. I agree with the general sentiment of how frail we looked but maybe, but an unlikely maybe, we will realize that showing the kind of fight we suddenly put into the game after the sending off we can be better than the mid table team we have looked for most of the season so far.
Morning all and welcome Bryan
Good read again Steve. I’m sure the sending off help, but who cares 😉
The defensive side to our game is quite frankly dreadful at times, even with ten men, they still had too many chances and but for Bale being a greedy git, they would have scored more.
We should have battered them….
As for the tackle, leg breaker imho… he deserves the three match ban and more!
Tend to agree that we were under the cosh until the sending off. It was a red card , one player Cazorla played the ball the other the man. It was studs up about 2 foot off of the ground , caught the man with speed and venom. I remember Poll sending Vieira off for something similar against Liverpool before the spitting incident although replays showed he got the ball. Poll said that the tackle was dangerous. Had Cazola’s leg been on the ground we might well have had another Eduardo. Adebayor was over pumped , his goal celebration running to the Arsenal clock end supporters suggests that he still has ill feelings towards Arsenal supporters if not the club.
When they scored their second goal , rather like against Fulham our defence got the jitters and so did the crowd , many of us were counting the clock down. We can’t get too carried away with the score despite it looking on paper to be a walk in the park it wasn’t. There is still a lot of work to do on defensive organisation , perhaps bedding Gibbs back in will improve things. We are now scoring goals , if we shore up the other end we should start picking up the points against the teams around us and below in the league.
Morning all.
You can only beat what’s on front of you, and we did a decent job of that. Five goals and five different scores is not to be sniffed at but I think we would all agree we look very shaky at the back, both the spud goals they were allowed a criminal amount of time to pick their spot. That needs to change, would a top DM help with that? Closing the space that bale sauntered into would possibly have prevented that goal, but above all proper coaching need to be administered on defending as a team!
Anyway lets all bask in another 5-2 walloping of that shower down the road, regardless of how many players they had, we won, end of. One thing I would say is Bale is way too good to be playing for them, how long till someone stumps up some serious dollar for him?!
Tsgh – we ourselves used to be one of the best sides at winning with 10 men…
Totally agree Potter, Cazorla’s experience saved him from a broken leg. Ade is a nasty man and a liar! His behaviour at Man City and again on Saturday proved that, and I’m sure there are other incidents. Maybe ask Nikki B..
The goals are now coming, maybe it’s time for Bould to stick his nose into the training camp again…
Nice post… But i disagree on adebayor not been a dirty player. Remember the stamp on rvp’s face??? Cant believe anyone is questioning the red card.
But I still maintain we were just starting to find some rhythm before Lardy went off
Lewis, I think a DM would stop that, stop the supply from midfield and the pressure is off the defence…
Real Madrid are fav’s to get Bale if we believe the press, I wouldn’t bet against Mancini getting him soon though. Take Bale out of Totts and they really have very little…
Good one Sir Steve.
Ade is not a dirty player. He is an ignorant one. With a capital I. And that is worse than being dirty.
It is not the first time he did something crazy.
If anyone had to question the red card I suggest he should go and read the book of football laws. It was a high dangerous tackle intended to maim and injure. In other words put him out of the game.
Players like that have no place in any league. Had that been one of my players it would have meant straight out of the door.
Sir Steve, you said…….I felt as if they were trying to tell viewers that there was possibly unfinished business between him and Arsenal FC which I don’t believe for one minute.
Yes there is unfinished business between Him and AFC. He is still bitter about AW telling him he had to go.
But between AFC and Ade, the business has been finished long ago.
I’m not Joyweds – he’s horrid….
Popping out early with Fido, before the nasty weather comes calling, back in an hour or so…
Hey all,
Bendtner seems like a prosie in a classified, will offer his services to anyone for the right price.
Surely 5m a year for Walcott is better than letting him walk for free now that he’s showing he has improved and showing the consistancy?
I know we’ll have to sell him on after that with our wage structure the way it is now.
I agree Lewis, we need to tackle up front and in the middle too. Too many of our players can’t rely on the back four and Arteta.
So what’s the chances of us getting Al Habsi and what chance will either him or Sczez be happy to sit plank?
You are right Rico. The team was starting to pick momentum and rythm before Lardy the Lump went off. I still believe we would have equalised. Fortunately for us LArdy made it easier.
Definite Red Card. If Ade had caught Corzola on his standing leg the Corzola would have been left with a broken leg and out for the rest of the season, The usual old lags on TV would be trotting out the old excuses, “There was nothing malicious in it. It was a genuine attempt to get the ball (left or right one they won’t say)”.
It was dangerous and quite rightly Ade received the Red Card.
Morning all.
Martin Wengrow i stand corrected 4 minutes to go your right but you got what i meant i’m sure. 🙂
Good morning all,
First off it was a tackle deserving of a straight red, no question! It doesn’t make any difference if it was the first or tenth foul by the player or if it was in the first or ninetieth minute, it was a dangerous and malicious assault.
To be fair to the “Worlds Greatest Striker” Bendtner actually said he would be happy to move back to London where there are a number of clubs he would like to play for. Bendtner of Brentford has a certain ring about it! 🙂
Got to go out but catch you all later
Good one Steve but you never know we might play against ten men for the next 4 games 🙂 you need a little bit of luck sometimes.
I don’t care whether we played against ten men, one thing that i noticed was that after we went a goal down, our boys responded and it was our second flow of attack and Adebayor panicked.
We all know that he is not that mentally strong (
Stamping on RVP’s face,
celebrating towards Arsenal fans when in Man city,
falling out of favour with Mancini,
turning is back on Arsenal when he just became the top striker,
complaining to AVB about playing when he actually saved his career by buying him from Man city)
Just to mention a few of his bad decisions and i don’t feel sorry for him.
The highlight of the game was our boys now recognize their weakness and played maturely and didn’t rush the game when Toots went one man down and decided to keep the ball when we had 5 goals.
The advantage of keeping the ball for a long time is that it has a negative effect on the opponent. Footballers get frustrated when they don’t get the ball , it is just natural. Pires and Henry are the genius at doing this they can run the clock down by 5 minutes.
About Bendtner : WHO CARES
JW, I quite like Brentford please don’t smear their good name by linking them with that complete twat Bendy…!
Oh and morning All………..
Yes Rico I remember in 2002 when we played 10 against Paul Merson’s Aston Villa and we still came back to win 3-1.
And last season even though the media said we lacked leaders and all that rubbish, we still came back from behind 18 times to either win or draw. The highest in a season by any club.
I still think like most here we need Capoue asap. The more I watch MVilla the more I believe this league will be too much for him to have an immediate impact. Yesterday against PSG with Salma Hayek in the VIP box he was like Ramsey tracking back. No bust of pace at all.
Personally I can’t stand how SC19 and MA08 seem to pass the ball to each other before they pass to anyone else or the ball goes backwards. Against teams who are managed by mangers who does not come from the Wenger- loving school of management, one or both players get marked out and then we start the square passes.
Even though we won I still believe Santi should be played on either flanks as that is where he helped create a goal and scored 1 himself.
Against Swansea where Laudrup is more of a Sir Bobby management style follower than AW/Cruyff lets watch as Jonathan de Guzmán is asked to do a job on MA08 or SC19 and see how effective either will be.
Montpellier are sitting 14th in their league so lets get our first win over a french opposition at home against them.
Sorry W.A.T.H. How about Bendtner of Barnet instead. 😀
Gotta go.
We scored 3 goals whilst Spuds still had 4 across the back….who is to say we wouldn’t have done that anyway?
Morning all.
To Que Sera,Sera……
Ohhhh Giroud,Giroud,
He will score against,Man u,
He’ll score against Chelsea too,
Oh Giroud,Giroud.
Sean was walking around singing this today….came up with it himself lol!!
Hiya SD………….If Henry and Pires were genius since they could run the clock down by 5 minutes then what can you say about Rico??? She can run the clock down by three hours and you dont even realise it. 😆
I’ve still got ya back Devil,but you’re making more enemies 🙂
Frimpong has gone on loan to Charlton.
I quite like Barnet as well JW 😉
How about Exeter…………. He should love it down there…!
Scott, i think the yids fell apart and showed very little discipline… they were after all 1 up…. they lost a centre forward not a keeper or a centre half, they should of kept things tight and grafted…! 4-4-1 makes it hard on Defoe not the rest of the team, they totally lost shape and fell apart.
Love it…!!!
I can see Dev in the “sin bin” in a minute………… Next he’ll mention chicken casserole…!
Exactly Wath.
If we had only won 2-1,and scored late in the second half when they tired,then fair enough.
Great game.
Loved it.
Can’t wait til the replay!!
Even roosters are there to be stuffed……………ask the scum about saturday. They were stuffed well and proper.
Man Utd and Chelsea loosing was the icing on my jelly cake of the weekend 🙂
Oh by the way , incase any Toots fan is reading this , Harry Redknap thinks Totts will still finish ahead of us, i think rubbish.
The difference between Arsenal and Totts is not the good players or the lack of in either side, it is the fact Arsenal is a stable club while Totts are the opposite.
We have had the same coach for more than 15 years while the Totts have had more than 10 coaches (i believe) in the same number of years.
Because why sack Redknap who is clearly making the players into something special and get another new coach who will have to bring his own style.
I don’t know the obsession with Arsenal when Chelsea have not won one game in 4 and Totts have only won 1 in 4 games and have actually lost their last 3.
Oh by the way Man utd have gone one goal down in their last 11games and couldn’t come back against Norwich.
Just thought i should let the media know.
W.A.T.H…………….the yids did not simply fall apart. They are being found out for what they are. a bunch of players who miss Modric. They are a small club. We lost Cesc, Nasri and RVP yes. But for all our complaints we still remained a team.
The yids miss Modric more then we missed Cesc. If Bale goes and they do not replace him they will be vying not to get relegated instead of the top four.
I do not like the man one bit,but Bale can definitely play football.
Agreed Dev, they cannot cope with loosing a decent player and if they lose Bale they will not be able to replace him.
The other thing I hope Arsene noted was that 4 out of 5 goals came from creating chances from the wings… what have we been crying out for for weeks now… width…. decent crosses into the box… you cannot pass through the eye of a needle through the middle time after time and the parked bus scenario is beaten by getting in behind the full backs putting crosses into the danger area..!.
I’d of like to of seen AA on after 70 mins on the left or Ox… last 20 mins with pace on both wings may of created even more chances for us.
That of getting behind the lateral defenders and crossing or squaring the ball between the line of defenders or the goalkeeper is one of the tactics I like using most. I do practice it regularly during training and emphasise that its practically the best tactic to use for midfielders who would like to score. My favourite is the pull back, when it is pulled back towards the penalty spot for those who are making a late runs.
WATH, maybe Arsene now knows, especially with Giroud becoming the best header in the premier league now. His timing is fantastic, Van Nistroy style(dare i say)
That is why I do not like Theo on the wing. He does not have that tendency to get behind the lateral defenders and cross although he has been doing that a lot more often lately. He prefers to go for goal himself and that is why he tends to cut inside. However, although he can be lethal in front of goal I still do not think he is experienced enough to lead the attack on his own from the centre. He still needs a big man to look after him.
Giroud is more than a lump striker. Even though he is very good in the air and has scored 2 goals with his head so far this campaign, he only scored 1 goal last year with his head and 3 the previous season. Montpellier hardly ever crossed the ball the ball and hardly utilised his height apart from holding the ball up and to be far he has not dissappointed me and those who watched him in Ligue 1.
When he was not scoring I mentioned that OG12 looked like a big game players as he was the only french player with Arsenal to score against the Spaniards.
Have you noticed Giroud has stopped stopping and complaining to the ref in the last 2 games since we mentioned it here that he should curb that? He use to lose vital seconds by stopping to run and sulking him the referee was not awarding a foul for him after a goal kick to him.
Someone at the club may be reading this super site.
Yid means Jew doesn’t it? Is Tottenham a Jewish club?
I must agree with you guys it definitely works against parking the bus. We really have improved our crossing as well in the last few games.
Depends who you ask Brad… their fans refer to themselves as the Yids… & Yid army…. You then get sensitive people that say it’s an insult but it’s merely used as an insult to them as that’s what they use upon themselves…! As usual people seem to go OTT with this politically correct crap..!
Alan Hansen is blaming the chavs poor run on the chelskis copying our style of play. He says no team wins a title playing attacking football. Ahh, has he forgotten our team from 2000 to 2004 and even the 2007/2008 team which only fell apart when we lost Hleb and Flamini.
The fact is that no team in any of the top European leagues have won a title without a citizen of that nation playing in the CB position. That is where I believe AW needs to buy a CB from one of the championship teams to replace Djourou or Le Squid. I know some fans think we should have bought Cahill but if you watch chavsd matches as I do you will know he is never better than our BFG even though the BFG is as slow as a Panzer 1 tank. 😀
He is even behind Ruiz who is like a clone between Eboue and Santos in defense.
I used to think that the player who would replace RVP properly would be Lewandowski himself. He has it all. But now I think that although RVP would never be replaced as a 30+ season goalscorer, I think that in other aspects not only will Giroud be equal but also superior, especially team play and working with his back to goal together with his running off the ball.
I see. Well then they have no arguments if they call themselves it. Sounds like American ganster logic and their use of the N word.
Super site we have heare.
Dont let us spoil it by using the word Yids for the Totts , it is uncool.
The flick on’s that he wins Dev is amazing, we are just starting to play to his strengths…! He as you say also makes very good runs but as yet isn’t always getting the right service for the run but it’ll come
Sorry SD, they always have been and always will be…! It’s been no different for 40 yrs..!
tsGH says:
November 19, 2012 at 12:11 pm; Ruiz who is like a clone between Eboue and Santos in defense.
NOW THAT IS CLASSIC 🙂
Dev which of these do you prefer? Crossing the ball behind the opposition defense as the traditional winger plays like B Laudrup or D Beckham or the old latin american way of just crossing the ball when the crosser is behind the 18 yard line on either flanks.
Personally, I do not know any player in Europe who can cross the ball now Jairzinho or Beckham use to.
That comes with practice W.A.T.H. Like mostly everything in life. Players need to practice to perfect it.
If we go to Theo we can see that he stuck up a good partnership with RVP and now with OG12. I dare say that the present partnership is much better then the previous one. And they do seem to click it off together. Infact I think that the majority of the goals OG has has seen Theo/Podolski involved in some way or another, This is good. However we do need to have a winger for winger’s sake…….someone for whom crossing the ball is equivalent to scoring a goal.
Here we call Tottenham “Totties”. It’s Afrikaans for little dick.
Anyway. I hope Gibbs is fit for Montpellier, his slight knock has been ages. He gives the defence the balance between defence and attack. Our game seems to push higher up and the CB can read the game easier. Just my opinion of what I saw the first few games.
As I said tsGH……..I prefer the cross from the byline towards the penalty spot. However when you have a player who can head the ball properly then any type of quality cross will be good from whichever way it comes. Even Chamack would start scoring.
Agreed Dev, a proper out and out winger who beats a defender for fun and crossing is 2nd nature… one who can pick out a player be it into the 6yr box or a cut back for a player running in…! Practice and the way people play doesn’t happen over night and it’s to be expected when there are new players but it’s slowly getting there.
Did anyone read the article on Diaby by wenger…? He seems to know we miss his physicality in midfield..! lets hope he puts that right in January.
Another good comment Brad, we miss the balance from Gibbs and also his speed and the ability to overlap and put in a decent cross.
Again can we rely on him to be a regular left back, the jury is out on that one as well.
Where’d you see the article W.A.T.H?
In my opinion , if Wenger can get this team into top four comfortably , Wenger is definitely a genius.
Only if the board will just back offand release the funds.
Wenger will once again become the king of premier league.
I actually can’t remember Brad, I read it Saturday morning and not sure if it was a link off of twitter that someone put up or a story on newsnow…! Sat was a bit of a blur after 3pm…!
You need only one type of that player W.A.T.H. Two would be a bonus but not to be used at the same time. That would be murderous since the opposition would mark the forward and stop you scoring. So you need one good crosser who thinks and scoring players.
I like that type of player both as a supporter and a coach simply for one reason……….I used to play that way. For me putting in the perfect cross was just FUN.
I read the article bdw……….and that is why yesterday and Saturday I said that Diaby is finished now.
35 million is what Wenger is being given in January to spend,according to “sources” that is lol
I said it last time W.A.T.H. and Bradster………….I would like to see AW put out Gibbs behind Santos and Jenks behind Sagna. Solidity and quality crosses.
For me if Gibbs stays injury free he can become better than Cole.
Afternoon guys and gals…
SD I love this site. Its even better when we are winning because we seem to have a few regulars who seem to know about football.
Personally, I watch all sorts of european games to keep me informed on how the game is developing. That was the reason why I mentioned several weeks that Hazard will start to struggle in this league and that I was not disappointed with missing out on him. The player I am scared off though is Oscar. He is a very tactical player especially for a brazillian.
That was one reason why I did not quite understand why people thought Song was playing the DM role ineffectively because that was how most mobile DMs were being deployed across Europe. The aim was to wi the ball in the opponents half as Gattuso use to do with AC Milan and Pirlo who was not defensive but was less mobile played behind Gattuso. The same way De Rossi now does for Juve because of Pirlo moving to that side.
I know most on here and the media slate our defenders but I strongly believe it has always been our midfielders fault. Now most are seeing that we have too many football playing midfielders instead of workers. Basically we have too many chiefs and no indians. 😀
Most fans think Frimps is not ready because he commits fouls but what does Sandro do? Unless the fans realise that we can not have 10 JW10 or SC19 we will always come short against certain managers who play with a certain philosohy that is opposite to our way. My example is Shaolin vs Lama etc where one style always beats the other.
tsGH….practically both of us state the same thing time and time again. maybe in different words yes. but in essence the same.
But the problem with AW is that he tries to fit square pegs into round holes. And that is impossible. we need to find a balance. some players need to be properly adapted to their position while others can be mobile. Example………..Cazorla and Podolski can adapt, but we need a proper winger on the other flank. When we had Overmars and Pires we won something didn’t we??? Hell even with Brian Marwood as an out and out winger.
Afternoon Lady.
Any Spuddy bragging moments during your walk???? Or there wasn’t any mud to rub it in???
tsGH…….Frimps is not ready not because he commits many fouls. Its his footballing brain which is not yet fully developed. he needs time to get up to standard. His attitude is great………but he is not yet a footballing defensive midfielder.
Sadly, not a soul devil 🙁
Frimps to Charlton then, hope they play him…
Yes he wins a lot of balls, he tackles and he will die for the cause. However go back to Vieria or even Diaby. Even when they tackled and won the ball they came out with it, head up looking for options. Its the latter part which Frimpong needs to develop better. But that needs time and practice. That is why AW must give him a contract and send him on loan. To practice.
That is a pity Rico. I had a field day with sms yesterday and will have another at the training grounds this evening.
Sadly, I see Frimpong following the same path as Lansbury, but so hope to be wrong…
Very true Dev on Dench.lol. I was just trying to make a point that most fans want a DM to play like JW10 on the ball whilst that is very impossible. Gattusso and Makele could hardly dribble but they were considered the stereotypical DM.
That is why I do not think MVilla will help our midfield because those who form opinions on players outside of what the media tell them know that Jean Makoun is the true DM in the Rennes team. M’Villa is more like a younger Denilson or Pirlo type of player imho.
A midfield of MVilla and Capoue or Tiote will work because there is a balance there. But a midfield of Arteta and M Villa will be very very static.
The path might be the same. But Frimpong will rise from it. His attitude is different. Then again I think that hadhe chosen England as his nationality instead of Ghana AW would have kept him.
He says he does not look at passports…..but I beg to differ.
I am off now my Esteemed Bragging Gunners.
Cu later this evening
Dev you are spot on about him choosing Ghana. The fact is Frimps came through the flanks earlier than JW10. He was on the bench at 16 for the first team. But when you have two cruciate injuries before 20 years at Arsenal then you become like the Eisfield at Dortmond. Like the Eisfield and Gotze situation where Gotze is now an international whilst Eisfield who was ahead before his injury issues is playing in the reserves for us.
Eisfeld won’t be in our reserves for long though Tsgh, Frimpong will though I bet…. or be gone, just as Eisfeld had to move on to get a fresh chance…
Later Dev..
Wolves fans venting their frustration that Frimps has joined Charlton instead of them.
http://www.wolvesblog.com/5275/from-dench-to-stench?
I actually think Cabaye would fit the Diaby type player very well. Knowing Pardew he’ll want alot for him.
I think Frimpong hasn’t played enough to be given a first team place and it’s good to get him out there playing regularly.
I still haven’t figured out where Fellani would fit in with us, seems to have become more of an attacking mid. Not that Wenger will pay what Moyes wants for him.
I still feel we missed out on Parker and he was cheap.
http://www.ultralase.com/vites/referee-theory-test
Rico. I think Eisfield’s introduction may be hindered if Theo stays. Serge has hit the wall a bit but he is still ready for cameos in the middle only but not on the wings imho. Defensively he is not there at all to ply his trade on the wings in this set-up. Gerv though not everyones cup of tea is the only one who has the ability to help defensively when playing on the LHS.
Bradster Fellaini has not played as a box-to-box midfielder for both Everton and Belgium for ages. He plays as a makeshift 2nd striker now.
A deal was agreed for Cabaye in August but Newcastle pulled out last minute. 15M I am told. An estate agent who normally provides me with very reliable info on all London based players etc informed me.Maybe Necastle could not find a replacement so Ashley was not willing to take on the Geordie backlash after the Carroll and the Wonga saga.
I was told Theo enquired about selling his house in July too that was why I was certain he was leaving us.
Very frustrated Wolves fans..
Bradster, agree Frimps needs time, just hope he’s given it by AW, or whoever may replace him one day…
Lee – I’d be sacked after that test 🙂
I disagree Tsgh, has Eisfeld ever played on the right for us, thought he’d come on and played central or left?
Afternoon all,
SteveyP, there’s nothing sporting about Adethewhore, didn’t he get a 3 match ban for stamping on RvP’s head a few seasons back, he also ran the length of the pitch that day to celebrate in front of the Gooners, who does he think he is, Thierry Henry !
Most of the players blanked him that day, he’s just a nasty piece of shite, still very bitter, the scum deserve him.
Any team that goes down to 10 men after 17 minutes is on a hiding to nothing, it’s just a shame we didn’t put a few more past them, still it didn’t matter, we could all see them sneaking out at the end.
Bradster, if you ever make it down to Shite Hart Lane you will have ‘Yid Army’ rammed down your throat for the whole 90 minutes by the Tottenham faithful, ‘Yiddo’s’ is very much part of their signature tune when they score a goal, there really isn’t much more to it than that, just a bunch of saddo’s.
Gerv Tsgh – I’d forgotten about him. He’ll do to face Bradford… 😉
You don’t like him either then Micko…
8/9 would have been much sweeter…
Oh I dunno about that rico, he was the man of the match, turned the game on it’s head for us.
We also saw Arteta unshackled when they went down to ten, he gives us so much more in that role, wasn’t that the reason we bought him in the first place.
I dislike the man immensely, can’t forgive him for what he has done…
Arteta is a wonderful player…
My concern is that we currently don’t have a player like Arteta that can fill in for him if Arteta gets injured or needs a rest.
I suppose we will try Coquelin, Yennaris or even TV.
I’m ironing and watching the match again, goodness knows how Sandro stayed on the pitch….
Mine too Bradster, but then I don’t think Arteta should be playing the defensive roll anyway….
Buy Capoue you tight fucker!! Simples!
Ironing watching us iron out the scum….sweet!
Rico- Eisfield plays on the RHS for the U-21. He played through the middle for us at Reading though so I am not sure where he will play for us. All I know is he is still behind his idol the Lil Mozart and Cazorla in the no.10 role. I also think Serge should play there too.
On Sandro that was why I did not understand why people thought Webb was fair on saturday. He should have show Ade ba whore immediately after his goal for the celebration. 😉
Totally agree lee, and as Wath said earlier, maybe, just maybe Aw will finally do something in January and stop thinking Diaby can be relied on to fill that midfield gap…
It is sweet, and its funny how the eye see’s different things on a replay.
One being Howard Webb wasn’t that good on the day….
And Henry rubbing his hands together after Podolski scored with a great big smile on his face…. 🙂
Sandro had a couple of nibbles at Jack in the first 15mins….definitely deserved a yellow!
Rico, that is one of my traits when we score!! That and make Dave jump out of his basket…..
Tsgh, no wonder I have never seen him on the right 😉
He’ll get his chance, if he goes on to be that good, he’ll push his way passed anyone blocking his path….
We need that kind of competition all over the pitch and the two places we don’t have it are in the goal keeping and defensive play..
Cheque book to the ready Wenger, you should soon have this sorted… jan 1st we want them in!!.
Seen what time it is???
Five to……. 😆
Afternoon Gooners
Afternoon Rico.
Great post Sir Steve.
My take on the Yid theme is that there are plenty of other heart-felt names we can call them.
Totties is vgd Brad.
My currant favourite is Scum/Scummers.
Even publicity seeking/money grabbing, Yuman-Rights parasites/lawyers, are gonna have a problem there.
Btw the Scummers call AFC fans peodophiles. Nice eh?
I spoke to a gentleman who had been dragged to Disneyland by his family and he said he did not understand why Capoue was not selected for the Euros last summer instead of one of Matuidi or MVilla.
Lee I am trying to lower my expectations on Capoue regarding a move to us. AW could have got him for £4m 4 months ago but most wanted the more expensive Yann instead. I think we will be looking at a minimum of £12M for him now. The only consolidation is that he can play at the back as well so since we can’t get Yanga-Mbiwa because he has extended his contract with Montpellier AW may put all his eggs in 1 basket.
Ha ha Lee, I can see you now..
Not again for poor old Dave 😉
Afternoon Gooners,
Having continuing connection problems. Still have. Started Friday throughout the weekend. Great read Steve. Justifiably puts things in perspective.
Would you believe it, Nick’s former shirt nr. 52 has become a holy relic?
Or just provocative reasons to dust off his wishful thinking cap? Hohummmmm. 😉
TSGH and EastSidePaul belatedly but not less heartfelt “Happy Birthday the both of you, may many more be celebrated as our esteemed Gooners and HH regulars.”
I’ll be back as soon as services (I pay considerable hard cash for) are restored to standards required.
Cheers Dutch.
Rico if Arteta does not play as one of the DMs he would not be able to play in this team. He is too slow to play the box to box role or on the RHS. He is like Pep at that age where he had no legs.
Its the same reason why Pirlos contract was not renewed at AC Milan. Allegri thought Pirlo was not effective without a proper DM in the team so was allowed to leave.Pirlo then moved to the old lady and they won the Seria A and nearly broke our unbeaten record.
Hey DG. How are you?
Disney was full of all the things David Icke could right a book about.
Thanks Dg, i knew there was another b’day at the weekend, it was Esp, I join you in wishing him a belated happy birthday…
Nice present from the club for both 😉
Hope your internet soon gets resolved Dg, we all miss you…
He’s not that slow Tsgh 😉
And all the overseas stuff goes over my head i’m afraid, I don’t get chance to watch much PL footie, let alone the corrupt league 😉
From LadyArse
The Dutch press are today linking Arsenal with a move for Ajax shot-stopper Kenneth Vermeer.
The keeper, who made his debut for the Dutch national side last week, is currently the Ajax number one, was apparently watched by Arsenal scouts as he faced German in the goalless friendly. Sport1 claim that Arsenal will be willing to pay €6m for his services tough how they know this they do not say.
Vermeer is currently contracted to Ajax until 2015 and has made 12 appearances in the Eredivisie, conceding 12 goals and keeping three clean sheets. In the Champions League this season, he has played four times, conceding eight with no clean sheets.
At this point it is clear that Arsenal are looking to reinforce in this position and it is doubtful that this will be the last keeper linked with a move to the club. How much truth there is to any of the rumours, we are likely to never know until one of them finally puts pen to paper. Sport1 are claiming that Ajax, while happy with the keeper’s performances would be willing to let him leave at the right price, but, again, they offer no source to back up this claim.
Ha ha ha Have you forgotten about the Fulham match when he was struggling to come back.
Nice write up Steve.
I understand your muted optimism after the win.
A win is a win, even sweeter against the spuds.
Im happy, i thought we’d lose, but beat Montpellier to qualify for CL.
At 442 Spuds were dangerous. Defoe and Ade are a big threat.
With Ade remaining on the field,i felt it was a draw.
When SC19 ticks we play well. Spuds did not shackle him like Manu,Schalke and Norwich.
We must not be reliant on one individual we need a plan B.
Funny how we need Gibbsy, yet we use to slate him constantly.
With TW 80/20 leaving, who do we buy to replace????
OG is settling, speed not a strength, but hard work, physical play, movement and accurate heading ability has made me a fan.
I trust our Nov Slump is over, more bullish for the Year end run in.
With Manu and Chavs losing. It proves this season EPL is an interesting mix of suprises.I Love it.
The Top 4 do NOT have a deserved right, to turn up and win.
I watched Clarkes Baggies and they were a joy with their collective team work and nice passing.
I really want them to qualify for Europa along with Everton.
Also Scousers are adpting now to Rodgers tactics, they will be competing with us, Everton and Spurs for fourth.
Ginge
I would advise you to read a small pocket size revelation called “Reading Television” about understanding semiotics in visual images. Truly changed my life.
Rico
Thanx. As a digital native you might imagine my life pulse leaves a lot to be desired at the moment.
Micko
Re Adebarndoor fully underline that assessment. Scums have the unsavoury character they deserve.
Rico another Rami Shaaban?lol
I hope we were watching Daley Blind instead for a possible DM cover.
DG do you rate Blind? I thought he kept both Real and $hitty midfielders quiet in both games.
A11730 I am with you on Totts not doing a job on SC19. As I said before next weekend Laudrup will do a job on either MA08 or SC19 amd we will draw. That is why I hate seeing MAo8 and SC19 always passing the ball to each other first but hey its the managers job to tell both to switch play sometimes.
Excellent DG10 on the book. I will check that out later.
Another good E-book on this matter I read was from Henry Makow’s website.
But that was a one off Tsgh 😉
Ginge, not sure the Arteta/Carzorla axis was quite an issue when Diaby played.
Likewise, as Jack exerts more influence on the midfield, the Spanish duopoly will be less.
Tsg – We all notice it why doesn’t AW.
The Spaniards stick very closely together, that has always been the case.It is a cultural thing and incredibly difficult to get into that circle.
Cesc was an anomaly because he came here young and adopted a British culture.
Ginge
Sorry can’t be much elaborated in my answers. Takes seconds for letters to appear when typing. Blind was on loan from Ajax at FC Groningen past 2 years. His career has indeed picked up since returning. His bread and butter position have mainly been as right back. Now it seems he’s ready to fill the boots of his father’s illustrious fame as controlling DM.
I would role the dice on him, if we didn’t need a industrial ready made DM like Capoue to solidify us as contenders coming years.
Hi there Kev. You are very correct on that. Re the ‘duopoly’. However I feel like only a strong character like JW10 or Diaby along side them can influence how they play.
Rico,
That Dutch ‘keeper doesn’t appeal to me, In sixteen games he’s conceded twenty goals. Even Flappy could do better than that. 🙂
Kev – Great characterization of “Spanish Duopoly”
If JW can stay fit he is a future capt who bleeds Red like us.
Am i wrong to believe that in 18 months when RM, Barca,PSG and City come calling, he will say No im a Gooner….
You can visualize JW taking more of a leadership role upon his return.
I do get a touch concerned about his Hot Head.
JW will lead the midfield for MA8 and SC19 to follow.
Ginge
The book is a bit dated but still unrivalled and never duplicated the way it takes on our consumption of visual images. It reveals undercurrents that force feed our believes. And how the powers that be utilizes its benefits to enslave the masses subconsciously.
Got a name for the e-book?
Dg, I get quite annoyed when my internet crashes, I feel for you 😉
a117, maybe Santi is getting used to the way other sides play him and he’s changed? Just a thought
I don’t want that keeper either guys, much rather an older, wiser one who is proved in the PL and is good…
If Lloris is the Totts no1, let’s get Friedel 😉
JW, even you or I could do better than that 😉
JW
Got that absolutely spot on. Vermeer regularly has massive howlers, Ajax never rated him first choice. Lack of available custodians within their price range is the main reason he’s given preference.
Good point made there Kev re Santi about JW and Diaby
11730, I wish that I could feel as confident about our Jack.
Give him another 3 season’s of seeing his best team mates flogged off by Kroenke and his cronies, then we’ll see. 🙁
We are all forgetting about another big North Londoner in Aneke.He is doing very well replacing Powell, even though his body language can irritate fans. He has already turned down ‘Marcel-ona’.
Thinking of that our future is really secure. Only one AW can do that. Monaco fans still hold him in high regards after leaving them over 20 years ago.
DG any input on Blind the Ajax player? I know you are more of a PSV man but…lol
DG I will look it up for you but this link sort of says most of it.
http://www.henrymakow.com/opiate-of-the-masses-televis.html
Apologies if I have offend Rico. 😉
Ah I missed your earlier comment on Blind. I liked his father. He is like a refined Tiote/Rijkaard mix.
I feel Blind may be the one we may be looking at or maybe De Jong will be converted to a RHS midfielder to replace TW14. De Jong has goals in him. (the Ajax one guys not the criminal one lol)
Ginge greatly appreciated re link.
I have re Blind scroll back a bit.
I don’t watch that much TV Tsgh 😉
DG on TV effect on people Fort Monkton use to say that to its trainees and Charles Manson said the same.
I’m offended
Didn’t someone once say television was chewing gum for the eyes.
Agreed Tsgh, De Jong is a cracking little player with an eye for goal, Wenger ought to have a quiet little word in Bergkamps ear if you know what I mean.
And Dave is seriously pissed off.
Rico apart from your soaps of course. 😀
Its not too bad if you are over 30 and strong mind I think but for the younger ones and teens its scary what is on TV especially on cartoon channels. There are a lot of sexual images and symbols used to program younger kids. My Mrs did not believe me on this until we went to Disneylast weekend.
The ignorant duo are doing their best analysis on our win over the spuddies. The scums think they would have beaten us 8-2 if our reject to them had not been sent off. Well, Adeba whore is rumoured to be wanted by Liver-poo so I guess they will buy another of our rejects who is ‘the worlds best player’ to replace dawhore
offended Kev ohhh. 😀
Whilst Fido is well fed up.
Those odd shaped vegtables on ‘Thats Life’ now they were really offensive.
Fido loves her soaps Kev, she will be offended and I bet you are right about Dave too…….
Tsgh, only Corrie and E’enders 🙂
God it’s slow today.
35 shopping days till Christmas…
Agag will be pleased… 😉
That’s going back Micko…
Big Sam has a ‘Movember’ 😮
I’ll be glad when there’s 365 Kev 😉
Micko tapping my fingers in acknowledgment. Superb analogy.
De Jong at Ajax is just one of the twins, he’s able to do a Bergkamp role and interchange with the striker position whomever occupies it.
Yeah Rico, me too. Is it a leap year next year?
No idea Kev, it’s a big year 😉
Hawaii Five-0 rico ?
Ah so De Jong are like the Bender twins. I didn’t know his brother was Luuk of the Bundesliga. I think S De Jong can do an Overmars for us. Luuk is a 1 goal in 3 games striker isn’t he?
Micko I knew you would know Seims De Jong. 😮
I like a bit of Sons of Anarchy and Arrow. I thought spooks was too far from reality. 😉
Micko old or new Hawaii 5-0. Dont tell me you like Magnum P.I.
Ginge
Both twins aren’t packing the explosive start first metres to be wingers. Excellent at exploiting gaps and tight spaces though. Technical abilities and execution are their most praised merits.
Rico
How about “Keeping up with the Kardashians” 😛
hey fellas…..has theo sign da ting yet? am really petrified of him leaving and haunting us in the future. come theo sign the fucking ting.
X-files for me. Scully you sexy thing. 🙂
hey ginge, what’s popping bro? got any news for me? how about gibbo? what’s the latest on him?
DG- I understand what you mean but we are talking of AW. lol.
Mr square pegs in round holes. A man who turned TR07 one of the best at playing behind a striker in modern times to a LHS winger until last season.
Talking of the KKK clan of t.v now that I do not mind at all. 😀
Even with the checkered floors and one-eyed stuff on the kids walls…
Tsgh, we used to sing Flamini’s name on matchdays down The Gunners pub to the tune of The Sweeney, everyone used to get right into it, it was a right laugh thinking back.
Just popping off to eat, back shortly
Hey goonie. I am afraid not a single news for you. I am hearing TR07 is training with the full squad so…
DG I think Seim could do a poor man’s Dennis Berkamp job for us. We have not had a true 10 since the great Dutch man left us. Serge may be the answer with his explosive speed and control. The future looks very good for guys. If I was AW I would put everything on the CoC this season and buy some extra time to get the media off his back.
The talkshite duo crack me up. ..
thanks ginge……that just brightened my day. hey micko, how’s the nigerian guiness working out for ya? drunk yet you old twat?
Personally I did not rate Flamster. He had 2 good half seasons with us and then he f__ked off like ….
Stan, been a bit of a beer monster this weekend, I’m off the beer for a while now, probably won’t have another pint until about 9 o’clock tonight.
KKK- I meant Khloe, Kim and Kourtney. Please no daggers. 😀
why not? i really wanna have me some of that stuff micko……..what’s it taste like? is it readily available? i need me some nigerian giuness.
ginge you sound hurt…….flamster was a beast of a dm with crazy energy levels. had he stayed fit, we would have won the 07/08 title. dont knock him ginge, deep down inside you knoewyou love him. just like me.
Ginge re KKK
YOU MARK CLATTENBURG YOU. 😛 😛
Hiya Goonie. How are ya buddy?
Stan, best stick to your bacardi breezers mate, your local Off Licence should be able to get a couple of bottles in special delivery if you ask them nicely.
Tsgh, he had one season where he was the dogs bollox, loved his energy and never say die attitude, Wenger playing him left back so often didn’t help the situation either, sound familiar.
Right, off to play, catch you later.
Not these days Micko, it’s not the same..
Dg, definitely not them… 😉
Tsgh, me neither re Flamoney..
See you Micko, have a good one…
Goonie he played all through that season. Yes I am hurt. He was less than average for 3 seasons and then when the Birmingham sale fell through at the beginning of the 07 season he played out of his skin like all the other traitors who have left us and then jumped ship like a pirate being chased by a Royal Marine in the Indian Ocean.
The injury was Eduado. The Cliche error and the Gallas cry baby showing at Birmingham was the nail in the coffin.
am good DG, how’s the motherland this lovely afternoon? come on micko be a pal and point me to the direction where i ll get me some nigerian guiness. i like trying new things.
Lata Micko. Keep it very Moorish. 😉
There’s a hidden message in there rico………..look closer.
Stan the breaking news of today is they caught the murder of Marianne Vaatstra after 13 years of clueless investigation. Found a DNA match through relatives taking part in a cold case mouth swapping, organized in local communities.
Barca DNA was not found btw. 😉
Just looked Micko 🙁
Got it Micko and yes…. 🙂
jeez is that investigation still on? i thought they closed it way back. i always suspected her dad though. so who’s the culprit DG? have they apprehended him yet?
Mark Clattenburg ha ha ha. Lmao.
Later DG
Micko hahaha. You crafty thinker. Very subtle and almost undetectable for radar.
Stan its not her father but close. Some farmer, middle aged. DNA-match without any additional incriminating evidence still makes it a loose end to be a straightforward conviction.
It sure was Dg, went over my head 😉
Evening all,
Ya Ya Toure would suit me i love the way that guy goes forward Company in defence he throws himself in front of everything o if only. Add tv all of the star treks and NCIS luv em
Stan
Yes, the man been apprehended yesterday evening before news broke this morning. He’s being questioned under a light bulb as we speak. And his entire estate is circumvented in do not cross tape.
Aneke is better than Yaya at 20 years. He will do a job for us. Remember Yaya was a striker before too.AW told the Beveren club to play him as a midfielder and then Rijkaard turned him into a CB.
And to think we missed out on Yaya Steve….
Breaks your heart doesn’t it Rico
Hiya Ginge, will just have to wait and see hope your right mate. 🙂
However Ginge still Arsene missed a trick on Yaya when given a trial with us on his brother’s premises.
Yaya could’ve been another 25 mln in our bank account, mind you.
hahahahah DG10 you read my mind, i was gonna incorporate that. hopefully aneke will grow into that position since abou seems permanently croked, but what a player. sad though.
Sir Steve, DG the Ya ya toure as a striker no way. Diaby is still better or would have been if Dan Smith and Essien had not damaged him.
And AW did not miss out on him. Yaya renegaded on the deal to come to us after he got an EU passport.
http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/885126-yaya-toure-was-average-and-impatient-at-arsenal-says-arsene-wenger

Sure does Steve but then I guess we wouldn’t have got Paddy then would we? Or Gilberto…
😆 re the £25 Million Dg…
Not hard to knock that over the line Stan. Thought I would call what everybody is thinking. 😉
Wish Diaby is given a chance to consult a second opinion elsewhere. In all these years our medical staff hasn’t done more than getting him fit for 3 matches per season.
The only thing that will stop Aneke being world class is the Arsenal pay structure. If he was a young Congolese or any immigrant who had to make sure he made it big to send money back home as the Toure brothers did he would drag himself across the field to be the best he can be. Like I said before Barca wanted him 3 years ago.
i think he should be sold DG10……am one of his fiercest supporters but even me now can see that he’s not built for the english game. that sunderland thug really did him in. poor fella, he coulda been one of the greats imho if he had stayed fit. oh well, at least we ve got aneke to look forward to.
good point there ginge…….he’s originally from ghana or camerooun right?
David Dein on his mate/business partner AW
http://www.talksport.co.uk/radio/drivetime/121119/david-dein-arsene-wenger-has-still-got-fire-his-belly-185688?
Re second opinion the Dutch judas did that with the Serbian old woman/witch doctor and he has not even broken a nail since.
Diaby is a West African I am sure he can be directed to some Juju men or Mallams to cast aside the spell.
hahahahaha mallams huh? what the heck is that? where have i heard that before?
Hey be careful goonie Chukwuemeka Ademola Amachi (Aneke) is not from Ghana 😀
He is from Bondex land.
Aneke
Mallam are muslim voodoo men from West African
Goonie
Your right he should uproot to a less physical demanding league to save his career. Trouble is he needs to play for a place in the shopping window. Otherwise it will be a bargain sale label dangling on his big toe. I would at least want to earn his salary back.
oh yeah in bondex town…….lagos. gosh i missed that city. hot, humid and packs a punch. they have some of the hottest ladies ever. i think i ll take a trip back there sometime. hey bondex pal if you re reading i ll be need ing you to hook me up pal. you know what i mean.
Hiya Goonie…………I did not know you put vids of yourself on youtube 😆
devil if i spin that way on ice am sure clor wouldnt have shut me down……anyway how re u big guy? how’s the little prince?
Me a big guy??? you gotta be joking.
The little prince is ok. in bed now.
She is a bit pissed off mate. you should get to know how to handle italian women mate.
Ginge
re: Judas using the horse placenta is why I mentioned a second opinion. Desperate measures at desperate times is eligible for his situation.
dude after her, i dont think i ever wanna flirt with any italian woman. they scare me. i ll stick to latinos and asians. gosh my weakness filipinos.
goonster – you finally given up on Diaby…..
maam i have to……..its a pity though. he needs to leave the english game. i ll be sad to see him go but its what best for both parties.
I am off now my Esteemed Fellow Bragging Gunners.
cu all tomorrow.
Goonie keep calm,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,its almost Christmas.

night devil……..have a good one.
Night to you all

Mirror says the Ox is in disagreement about contract extension. Jokes.
But he’s got one goonie…
Tsgh – I read an article about that too, £45K a week isn’t it, and they called the club tight…
Ginge, think it goes like this;
Diaby…… Ivory Coast
Afobe…… Congo.
Aneke….. Nigeria.
Afobe has opted for England, hooray.
Aneke tempted by Nigeria, booo. 😉
Chuks is English isn’t he Kev?
Silly me, ‘tempted by Nigeria’.. 😉
Quiet here so I’m offski 🙂
