Evening folks…..
There’s been a few rumours going around on Twitter suggesting Steve Bould and Arsenal FC are about to part company.
I for one, truly hope that these rumours are untrue. Steve Bould loves Arsenal doesn’t he, he’s been at the club for years and no doubt he wants the best for it – but if he’s about to quit, I’m sure it’s not a decision he’s made overnight….
‘One of the most underrated players I’ve played with’ said Ray Parlour….
If he goes, he’ll be one of the most underrated coaches too. Right now!
But we Arsenal fans possibly think differently. We know he was tutored by one of meanest managers in football when it comes to conceding goals but when you are working alongside a guy who doesn’t believe in either signing proper defenders, or focusing on the defensive side to our game plan, it must be hugely frustrating and darn right annoying!
We all saw that match when after defending like a pub side and conceding a goal, Steve Bould turned to the manager and mouthed:
How many times? How many times must I say it to you.
So clearly, Steve Bould has been trying to get his message to the manager about how we need to concentrate more on defending and from that comment alone, one could draw the conclusion that no matter what Bouldy is telling Wenger, the latter refuses to listen.
And this season so far is proving that enormously………
Has Steve Bould had enough of banging his head against a big French wall?
Well, if the Twitter rumours are right, maybe he has and who would blame him? I know I wouldn’t. And is that the reason we see ex players like Patrick Vieira, Martin Keown, Tony Adams etc etc nowhere near Arsenal? I’m sure they’d all have something to give but maybe they know there’s little point as their voices wouldn’t be heard, despite the fact that they could help us improve…
I’m sure that should Steve Bould be about to turn his back on the club he loves, another will soon employ him as he loves the game. He has a lot to give it too…
But, could it be that Wenger doesn’t like him getting under his skin, does he not like him challenging his archaic footballing ways?
Is Arsene Wenger yet again about to prove to all that it’s his way of the highway?
I don’t know if any of this holds any substance, none of us do but if Steve Bould is about to be pushed out of the club, or indeed leave because he chooses to, I hope he tells us fans just what is going on and why he’s left…
And if the club try to pay him off to ensure he stays quiet, I hope he tells them to shove it!
Spill Bouldy, spill, we all want to know the truth…..
Paul Clement is rumoured to be the guy ready to sit alongside Arsene Wenger – well me, I’d prefer he was the one sat alongside Steve Bould…
Apparently, he’s the next best thing to Pep…….
On that note……
You all gone to bed…? 😉
Wenger is a senile pig headed old tit. He has cost us too much in pride already -He is ruining Arsenal. He lives in the past and has not kept up with the games development – He is also more than useless in the tfr market – proven many times over.
The silly old fool looks for gbargains or he shops at the Russian cripple care.
You forgot his tactics SAGunner, ancient…..
But let’s not name call, he’s done a lot of good for our club, albeit many years ago. Just a great shame he’s on the last lap of undoing all the good he once did….
RICO!!!!!!
Yes Bt?? lol
Just searched News Now and found nothing about Bouldy. Hope that is a good thing and that the Twitter talk is is just that, talk.
Wenger left to his own devices…….nightmare! We’d be back to the nonsense I wrote earlier, “down, down, deeper and down”. Relegation fodder, even!
Can you direct me to the address of the Twitter feed?
Rico, could anyone really blame him if he left?
No, i don’t, it must rip him up inside to watch, what pass as defending at Arsenal these days…
Controversial late night posting…Is this the new format?
If it is true, even bigger respect for the man..
Wavy, no feed but there’s been stuff on Twitter honest..
I really hope it’s nonsense, I really do. Bouldy is the last thing ‘Arsenal’ in the club…
Bt, I wouldn’t blame him, not at all. As you say, he must be so so frustrated watching the way we defend..
Late night posting, no, just a one off. I wrote and posted it on impulse…. No post tomorrow though… I’m having a lay in…. 😉
Wavy, is that not AW does anyway?
It’s all seems to me twitter doesn’t seem the most reliable place to get ones information.
Rico, another lie in, you country girls..tsk…
Joe, it’s just a rumour that’s being discussed… but could you blame him, if true?
Time will tell Joe….
Bt, I cannot recall my last….lol
Exactly Bt, it’s a rumour. A post which I’d hoped would spark a sensible debate about how we’d all feel if Bouldy did leave, and if it’s true, why is he leaving….
Rico, I hope you’re not thinking of spending the day in bed playing the old needle in a haystack game!
Especially if Stevie is going to be collecting his P45.
Rico your right on that….
It’s just that Wenger gets blamed for a lot of stuff I won’t list them.
He then gets lambasted by posters on blogs (not just here) when it’s proven not to be true no one ever apologizes or admits to being wrong.
Arsenal youth player has scored for England Joe Willock
If that’s the case, enjoy it.
Get refreshed and ready yourself for Saturdays, ROLLERCOASTER!!!!
Wavy, me? Never… lol
Joe, I don’t think AW gets a tough ride on here. What we all say is nothing other than the obvious…
Bt, lose Saturday and it’ll be awful… imo of course…
Rico, absolutely, defeat would be awful, been stocking piling the sense nummers all week….
Bt – A loss will really upset everyone and Wenger will be a lost man….
Rico, do you think that’s already going through his mind and perhaps he may take a more cautious approach?
Bt, I doubt it very much…….
Yeah, more likely rubbing his hands thinking, there is no better time than now to have a real go at them.
More than likely Bt.. Why worry about defending eh… De Gea is fit…!
I’m a Celeb for me now – catch up tomorrow..
Night Bt, Wavy, Joe and all…..
Get out of here, Rico.
Big Bang for me..
If Arsenal gets beaten this weekend, Wenger must go.His strange ways of setting up teams in big games have been hurting the clubs prospect for a long time.Who in his right mind does not get replacements when players leave, leaving the squad to bare bones.Everytime injuries occur during critical part of the season, Arsenal are left exposed.This year because of Wenger’s stubborness, none of the defensive voids were filled, which could result in elimination from Champions league and mid-table petformance in the league.It is getting to Ridiculous proportions, the way things are at Arsenal.Only solution-Wenger must go.
Something of interest…

Controversial post there Rico…
Not sure what to think, Twitter is unreliable at the best of times…
But if there is any truth in the rumours, make no mistake, Arsenal would pay big to buy Bouldys silence…
It’s a moot point whether Bouldy, if offered enough, should accept a big pay-off with ‘strings’ or not?!
I, for one, wouldn’t blame him if he took the dough, in his position I would also…
Only hugely wealthy types, like Adam, Wath and Lee, could afford to turn their noses up at large redundancy packages… 😉
BT, I have seen that cycling pillock with Fuck Taxis tattooed on the backs of his legs…
Not seen him for awhile though…
Hopefully a bus has run him over…
A cause to celebrate indeed, if that is so…
Yeah BT, I did read that piece about the AST writing to Chips Keswick, warning the club against further season ticket price increases.
As if Chips give a toss for their views in any case!!!
Personally, I think it’s a near certainty that the club will jack up ticket prices again…
Why wouldn’t they???
As long as they sell-out, what do they care what the AST, or any other fans organisation thinks?!
Arsenal is run for the benefit of two people, Arsene Wenger and Stan Kroenke…
Nobody else matters and certainly not the fans…
I think those who have their views will say whatever they want, but no one knows the truth, they could think there is a bad blood between the two, but from my own observation that is not true, Arsene Wenger is true professional, the sports reporters in England and their so called supporters are always after Wenger. I am not sure why they do not feel shy, they talk about the man day in and day out, but the board who own Arsenal, trust Arsene Wenger better than you the outsiders and it does not make any difference how you hate Wenger. He will still be in-charge of Arsenal football club, as manager. You have been bombing Arsene Wenger for so many years and we all aware about it and what did you archive nothing, but Wenger have archived something that the writer will never archive in his life time, until he dies.
Morning all..
Kev – Twitter is very unreliable but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Bouldy left…
Delford can you please elaborate?
One F.A cup in 10yrs………
Morning Rico and all.
I’m an archivist myself.
Good morning rico and all
Not very confident about tomorrow, in fact I am horrified about the thought of getting spanked..
It would be Interesting if the news about Bouldy has any truth, It’s about time he did something.
Deford magaya here is what you remind me of..
Leave Britney Alone (Complete): http://youtu.be/WqSTXuJeTks
Off to work now
I didn’t realise that Kev had memorialised his thoughts on Britney to You Tube. 🙂
Morning Adam, Lee and Judge…
Had a couple of strange comments in moderation this morning, one called us all deluded muppets, the other was totally opposite and wanted horrid things to happen to our manager…
Needless to say, neither will be joining us….
I’m a Leo….
Fitting Lee…. 😉
Lady Gaga has a Duncan….
Lucky her….
Where did you see that Lee?

What a tool!
I’m lost. I can’t keep up with cockneys like you Rico. 🙂
FFS Arsene. Keep all that “I could have” stuff to yourself.
I don’t know about anyone else on here, or Mick, but I’m quite excited by the prospect of Diaby signing a new contract…
That’s the kind of new signing we’ll need, to ‘push on’ in the New Year…
Rick, Fred, I see that George Dobson has signed pro-forms…
Looking forward to seeing some long overdue changes in the Scouting network.
Morning Kev…
🙂 Adam….
Apparently Spectrum is going to be Bouldy’s replacement!
Morning all…….
Rico, call that a lie in?
Perhaps Delford’s comment slipped into your sleepy subconscious…
🙂 Wenger will be thrilled….
Wasn’t he in only fools and horses?
Morning Bt, ha ha – had it done I think i’d have had nightmares….
Rico, i’ve read Theo has a tight groin and isn’t available for the Ushited game..
Just read the same Bt, hope it’s not true…
New post up now…..
The defence has been a major problem all these years thanks to an attack minded boss.
THE problem is when your defence aint good enough or defend like a pub team,you don’t win or worst you lose. The games against NU and Anderlect shd have been sewn up .
I think the problem will be history when the fm leaves.
