Morning all.
Bit of a rush this morning so here’s a recap of what Arsene Wenger has had to say about all the transfer rumours on players heading to Arsenal. Or not which seems to be more the case..
Up first is Loic Perrin…
No, we are not on the case.
Next is Gabriel Paulista…
We are not on the case, we keep all that as quiet as possible.
So something’s going on, good. Just don’t know who yet do we.
Then Krystian Bieliks name was thrown into the conversation…
He is a young boy that we follow, yes. You see I gave you some information! We are not very close at the moment [to an agreement].
I’m not quite so sure on that one, I think it’s closer to being done than not but as the manager says, he’s young, he’s for the future and not for today.
Petr Cech rumours…
No, Petr Cech is at Chelsea. We have three goalkeepers who for me are top class and there is a big competition going on. I have no doubt we have the needed quality.
Arsene perhaps should do them all a favour and get a different goal keeping coach, one who will stop Ches doing silly things like he did last week and one who will improve who we have. Mad Jens anyone?
Then the most hideous this month, Isco…
No, we are not on the case. We have plenty of creative players. We are more short on the defensive side of our game, not on the offensive side. We have plenty of offensive players. We just spoke about Podolski who just went out, we spoke about Sanogo going out because we have so many offensive players that they don’t get a chance to play. So we won’t buy someone else in the attack.
So there you have it. I just hope something is happening within the club and we get a couple of defensive signings in real soon and I don’t care if they are loan deals to just see us through until the summer when proper targets can be signed.
Talking of having plenty of offensive players in the squad, Mesut Ozil is back and raring to go and Arsene Wenger believes he’s chomping at the bit to play:
Today he looks hungry – he worked extremely hard to come back. He really pushed himself to the limit of what you can absorb physically.
Good, and he’s not the only one as both Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud return tomorrow also.
I hope we batter Stoke good and proper!!
That’s it for Saturday, yes I know, it’s rubbish but it’s better than nothing… lol
Billy Bean os available! But I have a better suggestion………….Darren Bent…….. We could convert him to CB, a goal scoring CB! Any takers?
Morning all match day….tomorrow! Nearly got carried away there!
It’s the wind.
Ipad failure ot typo…os is …is
Morning Wavy and all..
Winston Reid for me, Bent might score a few too many own goals playing in defence.. lol
He had three months to sort out the defensive side of the squad. He bought a 19yr old and has had to over play him because we were short…… super management!
Super windy here in Colchester.
Agree Lee, really poor management. Getting TV off the books was good though, good price considering he hasn’t played yet for his new club..
Why oh why he didn’t replace him is something I struggle to understand….
Very windy in Berkshire too, and raining…
Morning all.
Bloody transfer rumours…..though they are entertaining 🙂
Very entertaining Scott, frustrating at times too…
Windy?
Rainy?
You guys do know you live in England, right.
The sun only shines when I visit 🙂 🙂 🙂
Rico, the words Arsenal and frustrating go hand in hand lol
Very true Scott, very frustrating….
I blame the wind here on too much Tikka Masarla!
Is Ian Ure still available?
Have we not got a tall ‘small boy’ we can use as a stopper?
Are the Arsenal playing a waiting game? Last day signings on the cheap? You get what you pay for, you know?
If he signs any new, significant personnel I’ll go to the foot of our stairs and back again!
Now there’s achalle ge for them!
So masala.
Sp not so iPad prediction……again!
Wavy, depends what you class as significant I guess.
Trouble is, who apart from those running down their contract before the summer are really available during the winter transfer window?
Unless the club pay over the odds for a player to a club which needs the money, surely not many are available.
There may be players who clubs want to let leave because they aren’t part of their plans, but surely, if they aren’t good enough for their current club, are they good enough for us?
Look at Sanogo, he needs playing time so he’s off on loan but which clubs want him? Villa, Hull, Palace etc etc….
Well not 17 year olds! Unless they are the new Lionel Messi!
We need a bit of mature quality, and we may have pay top dollar too. Not a knock down Lidl bargain! Sorry to be be so supermarketist!
I do use Aldi from time time to time, for wurst and sparkling white plonk. Really good value! Have I just contradicted myself? I’m like a club official at a presser!
Buy quality, call it an investment, but fill the gaps asap!
The signing of a player has three sides, the club must want to buy the club must want to sell and the player must want to move now that I got the statement of the blooming obvious out of the way.
From my memory from last summer we tried to buy two CM’s I think they have admitted such in the end the players decided to go some were else I think it’s Roma and Dortmund.
I think it’s fair to say we don’t have a great track record with cheap make do CB’s in the recent past.
Rico, we have no choice but to pay overs, imo, because we need someone now.
Wenger put us in the situation, so he must do what’s required to dig us out.
Wavy, would you take Reid?
The reality of the january window kicking in. There are too many holes to be filled now , should have been done before the season started..
That should be CB’s
Joe, we don’t have a good record on CB’s full stop… 😉
Scott, agree re AW has t do something to put right what he got wrong. I wonder if Kroenke and the board are whispering in his to sort the squad mess out.
Somehow I think not….
Potter I see two players needed a CB and cover or a replacement for Arteta.
How many players do you think we are short Potter?
On the CB’s who would people like I know there’s a lot of talk about Reid but who else maybe Williams at Swansea.
Ron Vlaar was another possibility but no longer as he’s out for 6 weeks injured.
Reid for me, he seems the most realistic and I can’t see Swansea selling Williams right now as they are challenging for a European place I think…
Also, I guess a lot depends on what AW thinks about the likes of Hayden and Ajayi.
Would some fans except Hayden is it possible he would have got games already if it wasn’t for that fact of bloody injuries. 😉
Ha ha Joe, how did Hayden get his injury?
It’s good to see that 3-4 clubs want to borrow Sanogo now I know some people don’t think much of him but for a young player it’s good to see 3-4 managers are willing to back our managers views of him.
Some clubs are just desperate 😉
I read this morning that Afobe could be the next youngster sold off……
I seem to remember offers (probably derisory) being made and players choosing to ply their trades elsewhere….. As has been stated the inbalance in the squad should of been dealt with during the summer. Now we get the spiel from Wenger about his dislike of the January window, well if you’d got your act together you wouldn’t need to use it!
All clubs above us in the league I imagine or European power houses? Thought not.
Like Scott said Lee, hes now got to pay what it takes because of summer failings…
Mancini didn’t fancy him he took that lazy player Podolski instead. Weird that….
Beggar’s belief….
Perhaps he just needed goals 😉
Or a footballer?
I’m glad he’s gone out on loan, but I also hope he grows into a good footballer the more he plays. Whether he has the ability to do that I don’t know…..
I have no knowledge on the offers but they must of been what was the selling club was looking for because it’s the players who made the decision were they wanted to go.
As I have said before Sanogo is a youth team player and is our was our 4-5 choice striker why would a European power house club want him I am sure the they have their own youth team strikers.
As for the teams above us 3 of them are European power houses one is spurs not sure I want to see an Arsenal player go on loan to them.
By the way it’s two trophies in ten Years but why stop at ten why not 3 in 11 years.
By the way I think your missing the point if it’s true that 3 PL club managers and one French club are looking to take Sanogo on loan plus our manager that’s 5 managers that think that Sanogo is a football player.
As to your view that he’s sh*t sorry but I’ll take the managers view I keep thinking you had the same views on Ramsey if I am wrong I am sorry.
What offers Joe?
Yeah yeah we always offer what the selling club want don’t we? How do you know the players made the decision? Conjecture. Cahill ring any bells?
Spurs want Sanogo? Where have you seen that?
Two trophies in ten years is not acceptable and if you’re happy with that mediocrity that’s your prerogative I want more from Arsenal, there lies the difference.
Also don’t you mean 4 in11yrs? The community shield count not count anymore?
Times up Arsene.
Are you related to Wenger?
I’m not missing any point.
Lee, you know no-one on here is related to Wenger….
Come on, we are all fans but differ with views, agree to differ on Sanogo and Podolski and move on….
Boo!! Hello, rico. 🙂 🙂 Howdy?? I’m on tenterhooks to see another ALexis type of signing. 😉 Or could be I’m dreaming.
Lee, time to go on another holiday. 😀 😀
Hell, joe. Are you goonerjoe?
I guess we want different things at Arsenal, I’m fed up with mediocrity and feel a new dynamic manager would revitalise the team. Give us fresh impetus and move us forward not backwards.
Hi Agag, all good thanks are you? Another Alexis type would be pretty special but yes, a dream I think…. 😉
Joe is goonerjoe….
Lee, I think that’s what most here think, I know I certainly do. But until Kroenke and his puppets decide enough is enough, what can we do?
A defender with Alexis’s work ethic is what’s required!
Hi AGAG no holidays planned.
I’m good, rico. 🙂 Trying to figure out when I can get my dose of vitamin sea. 😉 Hectic, hectic, hectic. Unlike Arsene at the trf window, haha.
I think spurs are above us you asked the question about clubs above us not wanting Sanogo so why would Arsenal let any player go on loan.
I suppose you could always put a gun to a players head and force him to move.
I think you are 5 managers have a view on Sanogo you have a view which you are allowed like everyone but you think everyone is wrong.
Rico it’s alright I don’t take the question of if I am related to Wenger as the insult it was meant.
If it’s a Chilean thing this work rate we should look at Vidal for our midfield…..
Lee, you sound like you need one. 😛 You should take Mrs Lee to Amanpulo. 😉 The Nth Honeymoon or something.
A defender who defends, that’s what we need!!
Mygod, Vidal what a player. A bit of a crock though.
Hello agag hope everything is ok it seems you got a lot of high winds recently.
The name got changed when Rico changed format I just left it
believe you me, 62 million pounds for cavani for me nonse,reid, calvarho and schneiderlin will cost arsenal about 70 million pounds, so think about it
I know where we are in the league, where is the proof the spuds want Sanogo? That was the question. The only teams I heard that were interested Palace,Hull and Bordeaux.
It wasn’t meant as an insult.I just don’t get why you take anyone’s criticism of Wenger so personally?
Hello, goonerjoe. You were busy yesterday, I see. 😛
The Philippines is surrounded by water, water, and more water, so unfortunately, we get crazy typhoons. Who would you like us to buy? I’d have Vidal in a heartbeat.
Sorry for thinking you were related, I apologise.
Who will be in goal v Stoke RFC tomorrow?
As for the trophies I don’t think the community shield is a major trophy. I was just pointing out that sky sports news do because they include a couple when they pointed out how many major trophies Gerrard had won I thought that was quit clear sorry about that.
I have no idea how long you have supported Arsenal but the has been periods where 9 years between trophies was blink in the eye.
Now as Rico says we are all Arsenal fans and we have two very different views on what is best for the club and leave it at that.
Wenger will never spend in jan!have heard monsuer say 2 many times b4! read a great porridge analogy on blog somweres! imo should have grabbed Richards at start of season an kept jenks too! Long time reader 1st comment,hi all regulars some of ya crack me up with comments! always a great read keep up all!
Just as Ireland I think Vidal would be a great buy but I worry he would spend a lot of time suspended due the number of cards Arsenal players pick up.
As for being busy yesterday I know 🙂
I’ve supported Arsenal for over 40 years and been a season ticket holder for most of those years. How much were season tickets during those barren years? Was Arsenal the most expensive season ticket in world football during those periods?
Wenge just don’t know what’s going on in the transfer market. Feb 2 will come and go without a CB and DM. His excuse? No one is available. He is been saying that for as long as I know him.
Ospina I hope Lee… He looks more calm…
Schneiderlin would be my no1 target….
A whole team with Alexis’s work ethic….
Lee, Martinez, I guess. I’m grown tired of Chesney.He makes the same mistakes over and over and over again. 😕
But Joe, Vidal would give us another dimension; he’s pint size, for sure, but players know not to mess with him. And he runs and runs and runs. I reckon grafter is his middle name. At the WC, you would nver have thought he had just had knee surgery.
We’d clean up Bt.
Boo, BT. Howdy?
Lee, forty season tickets = forty pairs of fantastic shoes. 😀 😀
Mine too re Morgan, but can’t see Saints letting him go this month unless AW goes in big with an offer.. And perhaps he should…
Spot on Bt, sign a few more Chilleans, I’d be happy! lol
Oh an i’d keep ospina in till he cocks up!put szeny old man in b4 junior! don’t believe chambers is a right back in our tradition,never going to fly up n down the flank like sagna(probs put better cross in tho)make him CB permanent an keep per on bench for teams wth no pace up front!
would like to see hayden given a chance if that’s what is stopping wenger buying a CB as I
think any1 with half a brain knows we need cover if not 1st coice CB as no pressure on per or kos has let the hard work of last season slip! 5th is the new 4th ,god I hope not ,as long as we finish above spuds is all i can hope for this season!as a driver,if I had as bigger blind spot as wenger i’d be dead in seconds!peace.
Like a lot of things season tickets are expensive at Arsenal as they are at other clubs in and out side London.
By the way if you include FA cup matches and CL matches in to other London teams season tickets Arsenal are not the most expensive but I know season ticket holders pay more up front.
I know supporting Arsenal is an expensive habit I go to matches 5-7 times a year when you include flights, food,accommodation sometimes and parking as well I am lucky to have change out £ 2000. Oh and tickets
I agree with lee Schnriderlin
If only ozil worked like sanchez,my worrys bout defence might ease cos we’d be deadly going forwards!
I blame Potter
All our players are regaining fitness at just the right time for Wenger to not bother in this Window…
It is all so predictable
Agag like i said Vidal would be great but I hold a view not that popular here that refs would card him out of to many games.
You asked Rico :-Generally you try to get two top line players for each position with possibly 3 keepers which gives you a squad of 25 with using reserves &, kids to make up the numbers .
Keeper wise we are just o.k and have two right backs with Debuchy and Bellerin. 4 top centre backs ? Kos and Mert with Gibbs and Monreal as left backs. So for the defence 2 centre backs although Chambers can play at a push. Defensive midfield we have no actual specialist of real worth , Arteta can play there out of position because he is an old pro that can use experience to see him through 65% of our games the other 35 % he is out of his depth now. Walcott and Sanchez on the right , Cazorla and Ozil in the middle , Ramsey left maybe. So midfield definitely a central midfielder if not 2 , Forward Giroud and Wellbeck. That to me is balanced. The rest of the squad Sanogo , Hayden , Oxlade , Campbell , Akpom . Gnabry , Coquelin , Wilshere and Flamini are there purely to fill gaps and I still put Chambers there too. To sum up we need two centre backs, 1 defensive midfielder , 1 left hand midfielder preferably a specialist winger and a Sanchez clone to play left also.
It’s not going to happen though , I really got stuck looking at centre midfield where I realised that we have 7 possibly 8 players for those 2 spots getting farmed out throughout the rest of the field to do a job which doesn’t do either them or the club any real good.
,
HH has gone all weird again for me so I’m trying to keep up via the dashboard and it’s not easy… 🙁
Welcome to the three newbies…. 😉
Joe, StephenIreland?
As Alisher said, we need to strengthen in every area but the problem is that we are always playing catch-up and are about two transfer windows behind the top clubs. January is difficult because nobody wants to sell their players for the sort of money we might offer and the summer is difficult because Wenger is usually at a tournament, working for TV, trying to screw an 11th hour deal or giving interviews about all the players we could have bought.
Kroenke need the money he’s building a new stadium in US. Get use to the modern Arsenal, we may qualify for Europa, eh, not bad!
Thanks Potter – good comment too.
I kind of lean towards two central midfielders (one who I still believe could be Hayden) who could do something like Paddy and Petit once did and two central defenders as for me, Merts is unreliable and even Koscielny looks dodgy at times but with better protection ahead of them, things might be easier on both.
With Gnabry, Ox, Alexis and Theo who can all play right or left, one out and out winger would be a great addition, but imo, not a necessity although I get why one would seriously improve our forward play.
But, where does that leave those in the Academy, at some stage if they are good enough, they are old enough and if we keep buying ready made players, none will get a chance therefore what’s the point of having an Academy?
But, we do have a few older players who surely need to be told their time is up, and perhaps naturally they will be replaced by one or two coming through whilst maintaining the right balance of youth and experience.
Hi,Agag, would Vidal be a shoe in?…. lol
HNY to you…..
Yesterday was the must I every posted on HH the reason was what I saw as unfair attack on Wenger based on lies in the sun later refuted by Wenger that’s why i defended him like I was related.
Later it was Sanogo is not a footballer or Wenger he must be an idiot for letting poldi go out on loan than it was he shouldn’t have signed him then not taking in to account that he has been replaced by better players.
That’s why I put in so much effort in I may wrong but that’s I see things
Paul, I really like Hayden – he sees himself as a Cdm and that’s the position he said he wants to make his own. I really hope he’s not just cast aside like so many before him without having been given a chance. Hopefully the second half of the season we might see him play a bit now he’s fit again. It’s not like Flamini or Coquelin are shining each week…
http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/356177.html
Good read.. and afternoon all btw?
Sorry afternoon all.
We just need to replicate the quality of attacking players we buy with players of the same level in defence…… a proper CDM and CB for starters!
Lee Stephen Ireland do you want start yesterday all over I’d rather you started.
Asier is allegedly keen to join us now on loan but AW wants him full term apparently…
Ts, what would AW pay to have him permanently now?
Agag- you keep mentioning Vidal makes me want to cry… lol
Bt where did you read bvb are after Akpom?
Happy New Year, BT. and you, ginge. 🙂
Re: Vidal, most definitely a shoe in. 🙂 He’s tough as old boots. Wenger should walk the mile for him! Okay, I’m out of shoe-ish idioms. 😀
If it was Stephen Ireland you were referring to earlier, I think we should be setting our sites a lot higher than players with his capabilities. That’s one area we differ….
Bt- Probably £16m-ish..
Fans wont want him as he is not brute of a cdm but he has the potential to be world class very soon imho…
Ts, i posted the link last night but just for my friend
http://www.givemesport.com/536785-chuba-akpom-targeted-for-shock-move-to-borussia-dortmund?autoplay=on
Start all over? I asked you question….and wanted clarification.
But why, ginge?? 😛 Do you think it’s hopeless?
Devil likes Asier, I remember.
Thanks Ts… But I know you are just being nice… 😉
Ts, can’t see it happening at that money…
TS, Gundogan what are your thoughts on him?
Ha ha ha Agag-
I doubt AW would want Vidal as when B04 offered him to us in 2011 AW passed on him because of JW and he joined a newly promoted Juve.
If you recall, I mentioned over the summer that FC Hollywood were willing to offer Kroos to us for cheap as the bavarians saw RM as more of a rival to them than us…
Apparently Aw thought with Kroos arriving Asier would want a move but he chose to stay…
Can anyone tell me how, Stephen Ireland even got a mention on here?
He he he you know me so well Rico… 😛
No just kidding
Apart from he’s vertically challenged, I know Vidal is but……
PERMALINK
Joe
JANUARY 10, 2015 AT 1:53PM
Just as Ireland I think Vidal would be a great buy but I worry he would spend a lot of time suspended due the number of cards Arsenal players pick up.
Interesting Bt re Akpom… Akpom is very similar to Hoffman another youngster already with them.
I guess Akpom would be different to Immobile. If true I would say he should go to bvb as Aneke and Afobe could have joined Barca but stayed loyal to us and look what happened to both…
Lee- Gundogan may come good again but he is not the CDM we want imho..
He is another no.8 or no.10 who we have half a dozen of…
Whatever hasn’t started, don’t start… Please…….
Asier? Who is he Ts?
Stoppit, ginge. Let me go on dreaming. 😛 We have a Chilean connection now, who’s to say Alexis won’t be whispering sweet somethings into Vidal’s ear? 😉 JW has much to learn, and he can learn it from Vidal. 😀
Thanks Lee for the clarification, i saw that and thought Joe’s ipad was playing up again….
Ts, did you see the exit stories about Afobe?
Stephen Ireland Joe, you have to be kidding? 😮
Vidal’s disciplinary record is very good though if you put aside any referee conspiracy against us…
Considering he covers 11.5km average per match; his record is very very good…
He has received no yellow card since 2011-2012 season with only 13 yellow cards… He is arguably the cleanest CM in europe imho similar to the ex-spuds Modric.
Illaramendi, rico. 🙂 Too long to type the surname. 😛 He’s a DM, and only 24, I think.
Rico, Huddersfield was mentioned, honestly don’t see him at Arsenal.
Silly me I thought you were building bridges I never mentioned Stephen Ireland I thought you was have a laugh seems I was wrong sorry about the reply it was meant as a laugh as well.
No news on Ireland apart from his off the field issues- Rico.
Asier Illarramendi of RM; Rico
That was rep of Ireland surrounded by water and high winds it was an reply to agag
Agag- I didnt think Asier was your type… 😛 No tattos on show and no quiff.
Thanks agag, is he any good… 😉
Bt, sadly, neither do I. When will a striker come through the Academy and build an Arsenal career I wonder.
Ts. Akpom has impressed me when i’ve seen him play on the whole, but hay we have Sanogo….
He has received no red* card since 2011-2012 season
Phew Joe, you had me worried for a minute re Ireland… No offence Micko… lol
Bt- In my view Akpom should be playing on the lhs or rhs of our attack.. he has the speed and work ethics but as we know he came cheap and so…
Another player who was similar in style to DB10 was Lipman but he has plateaued imho…
Looks like I left out a comma
Ts, did RM not throw out big money to buy him, well north of 20m?
Phew.
Because Ireland reall is shit!
It’s snowing here…..Yipee!!
If AW spends more than 15M on a defensive minded player I will never criticize him again…
Who recalls when we could have bought Cocu who was world class at that time but instead Aw opted for Van Brankuist (spelling) from Rangers. lol
Lucky you Bt.. are you sure you are not seeing things ? 😛
Yes RM paid €32.2 million for him so you have a point…
I was going to throw Willow Flood into the equation, phew…..lol
Joe, in fairness, I thought you meant Stephen Ireland, too, and was like “whyyyyy????” 😉
rico, Dev rates Illarra. 😀 I’ve not seen mcuh of him. Of those playing in Spain, I like Turan and Koke the best. I don’t like anyone in Barca as you well know.;)
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/551296/REVEALED-Sol-Campbell-Arsenal-coaching
Then again Fc Hollywood paid £32m-ish for Martinez and then converted a RB to DM after spending £16m-ish on Thiago…
Those 3 CDM were meant to replace Alonso but none have been excellent thus far
But if the squad was trimmed down correctly players of Vidal’s calibre could be bought.
We have so many who should be shown the door Lee….
Come on Agag- you must love Rakitic?
Rick really likes Turan too… very similar to Arteta though so…
Koke and Ramsey in our midfield plus Vidal will be a dream come true… lol
Ginge, you are not mistaken. 😉 Don’t like pretty boys. 😛
Ts, to early for me to be seeing things….lol
Though it appears to have stopped.
It’s never too early BT!
Rakitic is class but he looks creepy, sorry Ginge. Like how stalkers are portrayed in movies.
Turan is the younger, faster, meaner version of Arteta.
Agag as you know koke’s release clause is 65m though allegedly…
Just read that post again just in case Rico can you stick a comma or full stop in or send it in to moderation and keep it there because if anyone wanted proof I was insane it’s in that post.
ha ha ha Bt- You crack me up…lol
You are on to something Aga- He does indeed look creepy..
Have you heard of the TV series Stalkers?
Lee,
Went shopping with a non smoking Mrs. earlier…..
Should be well gone now for my own sanity…..lol
He shouldn’t have signed such a long renewal, ginge; gotta hand it to Atleti though, they negotiatied it fuss free and would be able to make much money off of any potential deal. His stock just keeps on rising. And seeing him play, the hype is warranted.
goonerjoe, yesterday, Micko’s comment on bad spellers had me in stitches. 😀
I have no idea what you mean 🙂
Ts, did you appear in that series?
Which one Joe?
Don’t you start Agag! 😉
I hope Mrs BT swiped away using your credit card, BT. 🙂 🙂
No, Ginge. I don’t think we have that here. Plus, I don’t really watch TV. Just the odd cooking show and Arsenal, of course. 😉
Sorry, Lee. But it was super funny. 😀 Where is that Micko??
Ts, back in the AR days, I hoped we’d sign Turan….
I like Turan, rico. He’s got a great first touch, can dribble… and is cute. 😛 I leave any assessment of his thighs to you. 😀
Sorry Agag and Rico i got Turan mixed up with Gabi for an odd reason;
Turan is the winger…
I was talking my first mention of Ireland but it hurts that you think there’s more 😉
Of my
Bt- you know I can’t answer that on a public forum… 😀
Agag- there is another show on BBC here called thge fall which stars the guy from 50 shades as a creep.. you might like that. Check it up on BBC iplayer
Rico- I hoped we would swap SC19 for Turan but…
Let’s not piss Micko & Bt off when slating Ireland, we were referring to Stephen Ireland not your country! 😉
Keep Cazorla and buy players of Turan’s level.
Leave Santi alone, Ginge. He’s been shining recently. 😛 One wonders if he will revert to mediocrity once Mesut returns.
Ginge, there are many things on BBC that can’t be accessed outside England/Europe. Pffft.
You need to hide your IP address….guy did it for me so I could watch BBC Iplayer abroad.
Lee, you’ll not be pissing me off, but i think Micko would have a witty reply….
I only get pissed off when it’s a personal attack or one on family or friends….
Lee, sussed that out the other day ref IP….
I know Bt.
I’m no IT expert but a mate sorted it for me and I could play it through Apple TV…. winner!
How on earth do you do that, Lee? Where is Dutch when you need a techie? 😉
Agag, try Hola in Google Chrome….
There’s pictures of Özil and Sanchez training together that’s nearly £80m of talent.
Oh yes it’s Stephen Ireland
Costa scores again.
Sorry Ts, forgot your golden rule….lol
Campbell surely got to help our defence? That’s a positive move.
Agag, cash is KING in my book….lol
I just googled it Agag and there was lots of threads about it….. worth a go!!
Surprised Jonker hasn’t replied to him, would be a great man to have at the club….
Costa is shite.. lol and will be shite for ever…
If we get Vidal, it would be around 120 million worth of talent, goonerjoe.;)
Bt, I hope you handed over to the missus wads and wads. 😛
Lee, if the Chavs go on to win the league, and it’s looking likely, of course… I wouldn’t be able to stand how everyone would be lauding the genius of the Poison Dwarf signing Costa and Cesc.
Not Glen Campbell…..
I should check out this IP thing.
Darn cowboy…..
Agag, Hola is free, watch on lapper..Change your location, buy apps from regional stores and away you go, so i’ve been informed…
Afternoon Rico and the House
Its good to see the humour back in the house after yesturday.
Agag I have not seen much of Turan but he looked very good to me.
I think he would be a perfect replacement for Arteta.
Ginge there are a few clubs showing interest in Chuba mainly because he is
being a bit slow in signing the new contract that has been offerd to him.
I think he is very frustrated at the way his season is going At the start it looked very good playing for the U21 and the U 19 in the C/l meaning plenty of games.
However for some reason UEFA decided that to be eligable for the U19 you had to be born after ist Jan 1996 ie under 18. This change of rule ment that Chuba, Bellerin Gnarby and Hayden could no longer play in that competition allthough they were under 19
As a result of this Chuba has only played in11 u21 games whereas Dan Crowley has so far played 20 games in total
Now Adam has said he thinks that Arsene has something up his sleeve and i go along with that .
All the young ones that can not play in the U19 C/L and only the U21 have been added to the first team squad. I also think that he has sent Podolski and Sanogo on loan so he can give more playing time to Campbell and Chuba.
After the Soton game Chuba said I now feel part of the first team and it is very clear he has a good rapport with the rest of the team.
Come on Arsene give him some playing time.
Bt, you’re speaking in Latin. 🙂 The only thing I know about going online is shopping. 😀
Evening Rick, i’d love to see him get a chance.
There’s the difference they bought two really good players (one PL proven **sighs**) identified where they needed strengthening and did it. We bought Sanchez, Welbeck, Debuchy, Chambers and Ospina…..Sanchez is top drawer, Welbeck, Ospina & Debuchy are good, chambers I think will be good but has been thrown in at the deep end and overplayed. We desperately needed to do more strengthening in defence…. just my opinion.
Agag, i did Latin at school…..lol
Search, Hola in Google Chrom it’s a plug in extension…..
Afternoon Rick, I too prefer the humorous days, it makes life much more pleasant….
I didn’t know all that about the youth and certainly not Chuba. I like him, but then I like a few of our younger ones….
HI there Rick. Ditto above
rico, cowboy? What on earth are you up to now, Lady?
Hello, Rick. Turan really plays on the flanks and behind the strikers; when not injured, he can be really quite effective. Arsenal have been linked (well, we are linked to every other player) to the atleti DM Suarez (who is nothing to rave about, sorry); and for whatever reason (maybe because he’s French), Guilavogui whom Atleti loaned somewhere.
I wish I had access to the games of the young gunners.
Your wish may come true with this IP thing AGAG!
hola.org, free and easy, Agag….lol
Agag – Glen Campbell and Rinestone Cowboy 🙂
What’s this IP thing, have I missed something good 😉
Colchester beat Peterborough 2-0 poke that in your pipe Durham and smoke it!!!!
Lee, i was just about to say that….lol
That’s real funny Lee 🙂
Had to wiki your reference on Glen Campbell, rico. He will give Adam a run for his money with his flared pants and bedazzled shirts, haha.
The IP thing is for me to access stuff from the BBC etc. 😉
Seeing cocoa snorting as one of the top stories in Newsnow. WTF? It is so much easier to just make a cup of the stuff.
Rico, it’s about accessing content on the net which is restricted by region e.g. 3pm ko etc.
I’m convinced you’ll be able to access BBC etc and hopefully Arsenal player too! Fingers crossed for you!!!!
So how do I get it Bt?
Agag, you could then watch Eastenders and Rockys favourite, Doctors 🙂
Agag BT. TV and Sky are showing some of the U21 this season and I understand they are going to show more next season. Only one snag the are showing the top division only and we are in the lower division. That is one reason why I want to see us play our strongest team to win promotion.
Don’t tell her BT!! 😉
Ruby Murray time!
You can be cruel Lee, I hope that ruby burns your butt!! 😉 😉
Rico, it’s used mainly when subscribing to sites like premierleaguepass and offside streams….were football is concerned.These are subscription sites Rico. Quality is apparently a lot better than free streaming eg Firstrow and such an no ads.
To late Lee..lol
I get Arsenal player just fine, Lee. But I generally have to wait a few hours after the highlights are up to be able to do so; otherwise, a message saying that I cannot access the video from my location is shown.
rico, you don’t need it. 😛
Agag, you can get Premierleaguepass without the IP thingy….
Thanks Bt, do you have a link please, and ignore Lee lol
I do for the 3pm footie agag… Lol
Just got a ticket for the Villa game yep eh
At least we should beat them Joe…. Lol
Just checked premiereleague pass and it says only persons from NZ, Taiwan and the Philippines can access it. And that I can’t, since I’m outside said territories. 😀 Gosh, I just had a look around me, and I am most definitely in Manila. 😀 All this tech stuff is so confusing.
Agag, that’s what i saw and thought you would have no problems….
Are you sure your in the Philippines?
Joe, i’ve a ticket for Villa, but someone else is using it, pity could’ve had a pint….
I already emailed them, BT; let’s see how this is resolved. 🙂 Definitely in Manila, Bt. 😛 Nowhere exotic, bummer.
You could also watch a program worth watching doctor who agag
Good for you, Joe. 🙂 I’m confident we’ll win that one.
Noting that, Goonerjoe. 🙂 Now to get premiereleague pass…
I’m off guys, Mamma Mia is ready to be viewed… For the 10th time but I love it…
Have a good night all, catch up tomorrow…
Nighty night….
I am off, too!! GOod night all!
BT that’s a shame
Rico I went to the villa game last season remember what the ref did that weekend little hint it was Taylor.
But let’s hope
nice read rico……………..i would take asier in a heartbeat
long time Snap…
Gundogan is always injured and is too fat! It has nothing to do with the player who was.
In my opinion, we have two of the best GK League. Taking the two together, we have the best. I do not say the best because they do not know them all. (I still say that Szesc was not the biggest culprit of the two goals in Stoke. What happened then was already well and penalized). How are relatively new, do not understand why you think the reason Chelsea GK. (for me, there was a Cesck before the injury and another, not so good after the injury).
After 100 possible names for acquisitions, the middle of January, there is no confirmation of anything. In contrast, only outputs: Pod, Sanoko (will be borrowed, because I do not already able to stay), Campbell (almost a similar case).
We have seen that the dressing room is not good and AW has the most contributed to it.
For any fan, soon realized that lacked a defense and a strong DM, fresh and fast. With 3 possible outputs do not know if in a month with injuries, penalties, etc., do not go missing a striker.
long time ts how you doing?
Come on Palace!
Ffs 6 mins stoppage!
Fuck you spuds!!!
Get in……

Morning….it’s game day.
🙂 Scott..
Big game day against the Stoke thugs and what a rubbish ref in charge of it….
Well let’s hope he allows Flamini to go to town on the pricks.
We all know we won’t get away with a single thing, but I daren’t suggest there’s a conspiracy involving officials 🙂 🙂 🙂
No chance of us getting away with anything but then that’s how it should be. Just a shame whoever we play don’t have to abide by the same rules…
Dreadful news about Junior Malanda. Very sad…..
What happened, Rico?
I don’t the name or the situation but obviously it’s not good.
Died in a car crash Scott….
