Morning all.
Talking about the 2011 trolley dash, the manager said:
At that time it was linked with injuries, we had unexpected long-term injuries and you cannot sit there and do nothing at all. If you have unexpected injuries you have to do something about it.
We are not in need of numbers like we were at the time. We have our targets, we will try to achieve that and I am confident we will get there.
I am confident [of new signings]. The desire of the players to join us [makes me confident] and the fact that we have – maybe not as much as everyone writes – but we have some funds available to do the transfers.
Ideally I would rather have the squad in place at the start of the season and I am a big fan to cancel the transfer window at the start of the season anyway.
Ten days and we need quality and strength in numbers, todays squad proves that!
Thomas Vermaelen, Abou Diaby, Mikel Arteta, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all out and long term.. Vermaelen is rumoured to be back in training but I’m sure he still a good few weeks away from a return.
Bacary Sagna will have to slot into the middle of defence to replace the banned Laurent Koscielny, meaning Carl Jenkinson will start at right back.
Other than that, the staring eleven will no doubt be the same one which played just a few days ago in Turkey. Although rumour is that Lukas Podolski may start, giving Olivier Giroud a rest.
They did well midweek, very well and today we need the same kind of focus, commitment and result.
Playing away might be just what’s needed as life at The Emirates isn’t easy these days. That’s down to the way the club/Arsene Wenger and the way they have gone about our transfer business so far this summer. It’s also about fans spending a vast amount of money for many years and seeing little of it being reinvested in the squad.
No matter how angry we are about that though, for 90 minutes today it’s all about those we do have and getting behind them. It’s not their fault that the squad is virtually down to the bare bones….
But, is it really all down to Arsene Wenger? Jack Wilshere doesn’t seem to think so:
I want to win things with Arsenal and I want to be there in the future, but if the boss leaves then things could change.
Arsenal are always in my heart and by signing a deal for the next five years shows my commitment to them and their commitment to me so at the moment everything is good.
Arsene Wenger has been there for so many years and he’s always delivered trophies.
OK we’ve had a little dip in the last five or six years, but he’s a great manager and people who question his ability are ridiculous.
He’s qualified for the Champions’ League for 16 years so I think he’s the right man for the job.
That’s quite a statement from our future club and England captain.
Is that really how he feels or his he just coming out in support of Arsene Wenger during this difficult time and hoping that coming from him, the fans will cut Arsene a bit of slack.
After all, there aren’t many, if any true Arsenal fans who don’t think think the world of our number ten but Arsenal Football club has been around long before Jack Wilshere and Arsene Wenger and it will be around a long time after both leave…..
As a fan, we love the club, not any one man, manager or player……….
And Jack Wilshere knows that too, Arsenal are in his blood. If Wenger left tomorrow and a new manager came in, he’d soon be right behind him….
Let’s just go and beat Fulham today and register our first three points of this Premier League campaign.
Have a good one all….
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23821613
Good to see Kenny has made a start, long may that continue…
Leave now then you are not bigger than the club.manager and the board out now.
Nice one rico.
I agree re Jack. If his comments were true, than that means that he would leave the club when Wenger left. And where would he go then? I’m not sure that wenger will manage anyone else after us…
Good read.I think jack is just supporting the manager.he gave jack a 1st team chance when he was very young;even when he got injured maintained faith with him and when he recovered he was given the no.10 shirt.most of our players have a very strong bond with the manager since you hear them say he is a father figure to them.it must really irk them to see all that mud being thrown at wenger and thats why they’ll defend him whenever they can.not only our players;ex players too.clichy yesterday defended wenger too.
Thanks Adk, I honestly believe he’s just trying to take some of the flack away from AW, he’s not a true gooner if his comments are for real…
Personally, I think he’s been really stupid to even talk about his future should Wenger depart soon…
Thanks Kt, but he is also the manager that overplayed him at a young age and all because of not having a squad deep enough.
Clichy is bound to defend AW, he’s French, he let him go to City and triple his bank balance… 😉
Wengerout, the first one I’d prefer to see go is Kroenke and the board. Get AU in and see what happens then…
I never read the article about him staying at Arsenal forever. But if that is true, then his comments about following Wenger are really contradictive…
Jack is just supporting his manager and showing that despite the (justified) unrest amongst fans, the players still have complete faith in Wenger. 3 pts today and at least 3 world class players next week please
Oh.. I tink he’s tryin 2 protect d boss.. Wenger is nt doing d rite tin, though I support him cuz he’s a gud manager, but nw dat he’s fumbling, if he’s bin given a red card nd if wilshere wanna 4low him, den let him.. Cuz both can’t win arsenal a trophy on dia own witout d help of others… Nd I’m sure dia will b a gud replacement 4 him if d board is ready 2 spend
Personally i were pleased seeing Jack back his manager, shows the kid has loyalty and i wish allot of our former stars showed the same.
Re Jack, I’m not saying he’s going to leave to stay at arsenal forever but i heard someone say he used to support westham. Not sure if he still does.
Morning everyone
I always love to read this blog and the comments here even though I do not comment always. You do a great job right here,Rico. It’s not easy to have people make constructive and meaningful comments. I learn more about my team through here and some other good blogs.
I believe Jack knows that he’s the fans’ favourite player and he loves Wenger. In order to support him,he made the threat so fans will listen,be patient and support Wenger too
Benster I admire your optimism… Re the players that is…
Thanks Xrs, very kind of you…
Right behind the team and the sofa today.As for Jack,i’m tempted to say”mind the door on the way out” you have alot of talent,but you have a long way to go.Perhaps you should have a word in Arsene ear,maybe he’ll listen to you, one of his pet projects.Great news that Kenny is getting support,hopefully he can continue on an upward trajectory.Arsenal and its fans are bigger than Arsene and Jack,both will still be here,long after the latter have gone. O2 O2B O2B A GOOOONER!!!!!
benster, 3 top class players and we’d be challenging, as long as no more injuries. But the squad needs a little more depth too…
WOW !! ”he’s a great manager and people who question his ability are ridiculous” i am shocked at Jack….finally a footballer with a brain.
You can go with wenger Arsenal fc is far bigger than (wenger& co)
BT62 🙂 re the sofa…
Einstein, there was a typo, Jack meant to say ‘was’….
Rico your a prat and you attract them if you push Wenger out arsenal top four will go out of door and more than jack will be running for it No player bigger than club what a joke any prat got anything original to say…
Oh and I am a complete and utter dick I make no apologies for that….!
jack is just being loyal and knows a lot more about the workings of the club than anyone giving there opinion herehe,ll be our gerrard in years to come 1-2 today coyg
For anyone who wonders what kind of comment gets a poster banned from HH, graham clarke has just given you the perfect example…
Graham did’nt he play for the spuds.
We all love the arsenal don’t we,
We all love wenger don’t we,
But unless we compete for the top prizes,
something has to give.
rico ….should have known ! the quest for a footballer with a brain continues
Another newspaper article slanted to make mischief . Unless the actual quote and the context in which it was given is made clear , I would not give too much credence to it. The press are very good at asking questions to provoke answers that create their next headline, rather like a salesman being trained to never ask a question with a yes/no answer they will try to get a sensationalistic answer whichever way the interviewee goes.
leave jack!! just leave!! we love you,but! we love the club more,we’ll always put the club first! so leave.Arsenal had world class players before n left,remember!THE INVINCIBLES,they too left,you still have massive potential n a work in progress,no doubt a star who’ll be named among-st the best in europe,but,you should also learn to call a spade what it is,don’t tell us Wenger’s achievements,we are all aware of them,but his time is up,and we all hope he’ll be out at the end of the season.For your comments,for what he’d done for the club,he should be respected to see off his contract.Jack! don’t expect us ‘fans’, to always busk in past glory! especially when the situation has gotten worse n out of control!!
This is quality…
Einstein, irony….
Graham clarke you’re a dimwit
I wouldn’t bother Adk, don’t lower your standards to match that idiots..
Bent doesn’t start today according to BT Sport…
Arsene Wenger has said that ‘we didn’t sign Higuain because he was not a special target of ours’.
He also says he ‘wants to add at the back and at the front’…
No ‘DM’ then…
Ah, then he said, and because we have injuries, we need to sign in midfield too
🙂
.…desire of the players to join us…
C’mon, wenger, we are talking about YOUR desire to sign great players… At least do your job and get the priority right for getting 7m+ a year.
We don’t need your same old analysis nor care if players from the entire Ligue 2 want to join. Course they will..wages from 1000 to 20000 pw, who wouldn’t? And they don’t even need to speak English over here…
Afternoon all,
Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Sagna, Mertesacker (c), Gibbs, Ramsey, Rosicky, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott, Giroud
Good read Rico, what have you done to Graham?lol
TR07 is slightly defensive today. He does that for the Czechs very well at international level. He played no.6 sometimes for BVB earlier in his career.
Bench- bench – Fabianski, Monreal, Frimpong, Zelalem, Wilshere, Gnabry, Sanogo
C’mon Arsenal…..
Trolley dash ?
http://www.gifti.me/i/WXUfOieY.gif
I got it from the AFC Forum , no doubt it is elsewhere too.
yay! Tsgh my favourite poster was just waiting to see your first comment…lol…cheers everyone
good morning everyone!
Cheers Snap; we are a multi-national family here on the best AFC blog site.
I know our 12:45pm kick-off normally end in disappointment but I think AW has made the best choice available to him by playing 2 of the best tactically astute players in the squad in the ‘pivot’.
C’mon the Arsenal….
You know what they say rico
Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you in experience
TA06 slating the coaching staff again. If he wants a coaching job at AFC he is going about it the wrong way imho…
He shows no respect to SB and NB at all…
i am a huge fan of giving youths their chance in d squand and i was one of those who was really pissed wen aneke was load out for Ffs he is better than frimpong and coq why isnt he gettin a chance
Sidwell and Parker in midfield for fulham 🙁
Aneke is hugely talent and skilful but I believe he is as lethargic as Berbatov; the reason why a loan in the lower leagues up north where the fans will not forgive any AA23-like mannerism on the pitch is needed imho for both us and his career…
Hi again all, thanks Ts..
Thats a funny old line up…
It is Rico especially the bench for me. I am surprised Bellerin or Hayden were not in instead of Zelalem…
Frimps can play CB but not RB. I doubt Monreal can play RB or CB if we have an incident in those positions.
I bet AW will move Ramsey to RB and bring on Frimps or JW in midfield if something like that happens.
Graham sorry for insulting you,i think Arsene is doing a good job of opening the departure door for himself.Do you really think anybody can push him out?i doubt it.Arsene talks of finacial prudence,well he should look at his ridiculous wage struture,talk about wasting money on players you can hardly give away.Filling their pockets for years and giving next to nothing in return,maybe that wasted money could’ve been spent on creating a truely competitive team/squad. So sorry to be original,of to watch and cheer on the boys.LOUD AND PROUD!!!! Later.
12.45 Adk, spot on and we see a few pass through here…
COYR’s..
Didn’t know 70, s porn star ron jeremy bough fulham.they must really want sexy football
Potter – 12.03, hilarious…
Ha ha Corkg…
The fans love him cork, that’s what spending a bit of money does..
This is going to be a tough afternoon…
Scott says ‘hello’ from the river bank 😉
H/T folks…
Good to see a few shots from distance going in….
Og12… and Ramsey.
Giroud 4 in 4!
Giroud 😛
Who needs Benzema when we have OLIVIIIIEEEERRRRR?????
Including. V Man shity
That all came from shooting on sight…
Great double save from Ches
We do Devil, or Suarez or Rooney….
Whoever comes in Giroud is making sure he is going to give AW a headache.
Good Afternoon bdw to the Lady, Sir, Gentlemen and LAdies.
true tsg re.aneke but earlier in his career yaya toure was deemed lazy bt luk hw dat turned out i think it’s because of his height nd all bt datz just my honest opinion btw arsenal r nt playin to well rico
Afternoon Dev, howdy?
I think Ramsey is struggling mentally with how to handle the yellow card so early in the game with him playing in the DM position….
Our MF is a worry.
he will learn Ginge. he will continue to learn till his retirement. And he will get better.
Hmm, this game has got a twist.
I think AW has to make a change in CM. Ramsey is on borrowed time.
Afternoon all, nice one Rico,
Got to say i think everybodies opinion of what Jack has said has got them thinking more into it than was meant. Anybody working for a boss that he is happy with would obviously have to look at his own position if that boss changed , would his job criteria change would his wages change would his standing change. Jack has a good position at the club , many tip him for a future captain, his work for Arsenal has made him an automatic pick for his country. Jack has never said he would leave just that he would have to see. Sounds like a guy who is looking after his future, and should that form change Wenger may leave him out, i would expect him to look at that situation as well. I dont believe anybody is what you call a proper Gooner when somebody offers double your money. Its just a job thats all.
bad decision theo. imho
uhis guys r fucking tired
*this
Poldi… a text book Poldi finish
In normal conditions that would have been a yellow card for JAR but HW took into consideration the weather.
Dickhead.
TW was going with speed and JAR simply stopped him
YELLOWWWWWWWWWW
PODDDDOLLLLSSSKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
That is a finish and a half…
prince poldi
I must say I love the way Ramsey plays the no.6 position. He makes some much space for himself.
Afternoon Devil, just what is needed, a headache and competition in all places…
Poldi just repeated what he did in pre-season. He should have scored imo
A proper Gooner for me is a person born a gunner and goes to their box a gunner. through the tough times and bloody excited in the good times. And i am getting excited. COYRRG’s
If AW does get ADM and KB Podolski may be loaned out. But if only one comes then LP will not go.
We are playing well. But we need to do better
What was a bad decision by Theo Ts, the shot that came back to Podolski to make it 2-0 😆 😆
Wenger: “Overnight my assistants worked on transfers, I was focused on the game. I can’t give you any news. It’s a little frantic.” #afc
ha ha the chance because that Rico. lol
I do not want Poldi to go.He is very different to what we have in the squad.
I would rather we moved him to CAM behind the striker, if we do not get another striker and promote Sanogo and Akpom.
Thanks Sp…me too re a proper gooner, none of this silly threat to quit talk…
we don’t… and it’s agony for us all at times..
Surely both the Mozart and Ramsey can’t be running around at this pace for another 90 minutes.
Frimps and JW need to have 20 minutes at least.
We can’t afford Ramsey to miss the Spuddie match next weekend.
we must refresh the midfield quickly.
we need another CF devil with other caractheristics
our team is tired…
Arsenal won in turkey, Febernache is a weak team wait until they play Fulham on Saturday, arsenal leading 2 nil halftime, Fulham is shit, no matter what some people always unhappy. Lol
Am i still on moderation rico?
What did Ramsey get booked for, I missed that…
I was joking JM.
I always say you need two top players for every position to have a winning team.
In our case we need 2 and a half since we have many injured. 🙂
Who says that Gdna?
JM, you are happy today then 😉
Quick 3rd for us is needed…
On saw it on another forum Rico.
Another good save by Ches..
2 man wall is new…
If we win today journos will say……Fulham are a weak team. Wait till they meet the spuddies next week.
What happens if we managed to beat them???
What will they say???
I can guess where gdna 😉
Good defending Sagna
Our midfield is still vulnerable… Too much is getting through them…
Who cares Devil?
Let’s win this one first though…
Unless he commits a howler of astronomical proportions I think BS is a better CB than he is a RB. Long may he stay there. With him I think we have 4 quality CBs.
Shocker of a corner TW..
Bent coming on 🙁
Surprised Taarabt is going off..
The no.11 is dangerous
Passing needs to sharpen up a bit…
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 🙂
That is a finisher and a half
Great goal. now take Rambo off before he is sent off
Think that may have just kissed goodbye Schalkes chances of getting Lukas on loan 😉
Prince poldi scores again
I agree Bobj… re Ramsey off we really need him for next weekend
Game over.few signings b4 next weekend wuld be sweet.come on arsenal
Podolski got a 2nd for himself and a third for AFC.
He also managed to squirm his way to your inbox Rico.
Go and check it.
Agree Bj..
I’d like us to get a couple more and get Sanogo on for a few minutes..
Got it, thanks Devil 🙂
Why is Ramsey still on?
Because for once AW is focused on the game and not trying to hack your computer Ginge.
Give him a vibration quick. 😉
I would like to see a CB partnership of Sagna and Kozzer.
I think that they will be much better then Kozzer and TommyV
😀 Dev
Good finish from your boy today re Poldi
Hi Dna
Bugger!! Bent again…
CJ25 ball watching 🙁
Now the nerves will set in…
Indeed Rico… he always scores against us. A gooner he is too…
Forget Benzema, Suarez bla bla bla.
AW should sign DD and DB.
Both of them score at will any time they want.
And it WILL STOP THEM SCORING AGAINST US FFS.
How did that stay out, great shot Jack…
Why or why?
Here comes the big summer signing 🙂
Dev, re DD and DB that is what Jose has done all his career. If you score against his team he buys you…
Nerves Ts? Because they have scored…
Great play by Jack there, great play all round….
I am on nerves Rico.
Because DBent is still on the fekking pitch.
My stomach is in my mouth 😉
And the ‘toff Devil…
Ramsey motm again for michael owen, surprised with pods two goals. well done to him though…
2 MotM performances in a role.. when was the last time that happened?
Why +4???
Surely SAF is nowhere near Craven Cottage!!! 😆
good to see Monreal back
That deserved a 4th…
Top class performance today, can’t moan about any one player really…
Phew.
That is over.
A big big phew Devil….
yes Rico.
you cannot complain about abyone today.
Not even about us. 😉
lol
Good all round performance.
Ramsey bossed the midfield.
Sagna again impressed at CB….
10th minute in the hoffenheim match. Salihodzic scores a penalty………..celebrates and is sent off.
😆
waiting to see why.
Team vs. Fener
I expect
Fabianski
Jenko Per Kos Monreal
JW Frimpong
Gnabry Wilshere Podolski
Sanogo/Akpom
Good performance, well done lads!!
it was a straight red. apparently he kicked someone.
I am waiting for the bloody replay.
I m not watching that Dev.
Has the player got a swastika tattoo or something? 🙂
I’m watching the Bavaria derby…
How daft is that Devil…
Blimey Ginge.
Have we cloned Wilshere???
you put him in the line up twice.
I bet the Fener players will rush to specsavers. 😆
If I was his coach I would have been sent off as well………..for kicking him repeatedly for being sent off so early in the game.
and to cap it all……..the others scored an equalizer immediately after.
Ramsey really showed the maturity Frimps and Diaby severely lack when carrying a yellow card.
Ha ha Dev… I guess.
I will play SC19 in the CAM role
Owen Hargreaves said that for Bents goal ‘ it wasn’t the best keeping by Fabianski’…
What a plank!!
Why is Bent not rated? He is amongst the EPL all time top goal scorers with over 100 goals playing for the likes of Ipswich, Charlton etc…
I’d loan Sanogo out….
I’m watching Bayern-Nunrberg too
Isn’t possible to have a clause thart Bent can’t play against us?
Sanogo must have more stong legs! He must acquire muscle. He is taller enought but poor in legs
😀 JM. I would have signed him for £5M and given him a 2 year deal.
Pressure is on BM. My other team BVB managed a narrow win last night against Bremen.
McManaman. “Sagna makes a great centre-forward. Hargreave – “Not a great touch by Fabianski that.”
flying visit for me but just to say well done – good win lads
Thanks goodness you are not the manager then Ts 😉
Bent instead of Sanogo, and Rooney or Suarez would be good…
But Bent as our main striker would be wrong imho, his injury list is far too long…
Cabaye not in the Newcastle team.
Oz, it really was a good win, they played well imho, 3 top class signing wouldn’t go a miss though…
That’s a strange one Gdna…
Rico, I waiting to hear AP comment after the game.
A good win …happy to see giroud scoring…also its funny watching poldi after scoring,he’s like a child 😀
Wenger says Podolski is definitely staying at Arsenal. “There’s been no interest”. Says he’s important for the team.
Rico, if I was the manager, would I buy? lol
Bw happy to post in hh,i’v been a regular reader for one n half years on hh…but was never able post due my bad mobile phone..will try to be a part of this family from now on 🙂
Seems as if Halizovic said something racial to the keeper and the ref heard him and sent him off.
Marvel of Marvels…………Coquelin was also sent off half an hour later.

No signings before Fener? So 3/4/5 signings in the last 5 days of window? The deadline is on the day of the derby
Me too Gdna, he has to be heading to us or Psg and I think I read that they weren’t interested…
Was a good win multiple..
I suspect you would Ts, but I’d dread to see who. You favs switch from day to day and you’d sign players who have super stats – so we could end up getting Denilson back 😉
We can’t sell poldi…hell no as im sure wenger will find gnarby/eisfeld as his replacement
We play Tuesday so if that tweet is true, Weds/Thurs should be interesting. Signed, sealed and ready for the Totts….
you are welcome, multiple
Spot on tsgh – do we have to put up with these muppets on BT Sport. Give all matches to Sky and be done with it…
Chamakh has scored for Palace, good goal apparently, well done, I am pleased for him,…..
We need a rw,st,dm,rb ..
Shaqiri,yilmaz,kongdobia,uchida will do for competing in all fronts…not i mention winning
Seems as if Le Coq won the ball cleanly……….
watch it lady, Denilson and gerv would be top top quality… 😀
Sky aren’t much better… Well, apart from Gary Neville…
Meanwhile,did i hear chamakh scored?? :O
‘Alan Pardew programme notes: ‘the offer on the table for our French international is a long way short of the valuation we put on a player of his calibre and until that changes, he remains our player.’ However, he doesn’t play against West Ham today.’
It looks like so Dev. The loan is not going great for Le Coq.
Who wants to place a bet Laudrup will be managing the swampies this time next year?
Exactly why I, and most fans would never want to see you as manager Ts… Even old Ebenezer has realised both are average, took him time though but at least he got there in the end.. 😉
Tank u tsgh…bw you r the one i like most here,coz as me u have slight favour for rosicky in our current eleven 🙂
Coq saw red for that – shocking decision, was Taylor refereeing?
Meanwhile with all talents they have BM is struggling to break fc nurenburg
I would also welcome Santos bgack as he scored the winning goal against WBA 2 seasons ago to take us 3rd and finish above the spuddies… £25M pound player he is… 😛
Robben dived n earned a penalty,bt as justice wins alaba’s shot was saved by keeper
Dear or dear, this can’t be true.

Thiago subbed. Another prof Pep can’t buy a player to save his life…
Almost all his buys fail to shine…
*proof* even
Gustavo sent off too. Ha ha ha
flipping Ribery 1-0
Remember our game vs Spartak Moscow? When we could not score and ended 0-0 with us having some 28 shots on goal and they had none.
BM today is like that……………………
Hold on…….Ribery just thumped in a header.
Watching bayern im sure bayern will suffer same fate of barca,they wont stand quick counter attack
Wenger said that the recent two wins will not affect transfer plans. Says he knows exactly what he wants in the market.
Wenger also says there’s been no second bid for Cabaye, and no one will be signed before the Fenerbahce 2nd leg.
Boo!! Hello, Lady rico. 🙂 I see my boy Giroud just can’t stop scoring. 😀
Well-done to the lads!!
Hello, all!!
Hi Agag… indeed your boy, touch wood is tipped for top 2 for golden boot.
Just get your tractor over judas’s toes. 😉

I’ll borrow rico’s! 🙂 I will have fun doing that, ginge, I assure you. I see RvP, and all I think is “Judas”.
I should think they wouldn’t Ts, I’d be very disappointed if two wins made him believe that we don’t need what we’ve needed since May!
Hi agag, really good win today, did you watch it? Giroud scored a good one, but should have had another just before h/t 😉
😀 Agag
Moyes says ‘i wouldn’t stand in their way if i was still the everton manager’ – talking about Baines and Fellaini..
What a liar he is!!
I hope we get Fellaini, I really really do… Maybe Arteta has been on the phone to him. Moyes is welcome to Baines 😉
I have a spare agag 😉
Helloo all,
How was the week? I missed last week’s game and gave internet miss the whole week. lol. It must have been depressing here other than Ts, dev and SP holding the fort. lol.
Btw, we in India are getting same Sky coverage as you do this year. It was so good to see John Dykes back. If I am not wrong, he started his career from here in Asia. Oh and Tony Adams is so so so depressing. He always talked about what if the game broke down in MF and since our CBs were playing far too distant from each other it would be chaos. Especially if we were playing Man U or Chavs. But he forgot to mention that pitch was way too narrow for that too take place effectively. Good lord he’s depressing.
The classic was at the end you can’t beat Totts playing like this especially if Gibbs is on LW and Jenks on RW. Can it get any more depressing?
Btw, good game today. Most of you have failed to appreciate Scez who was absolutely beast today.
And Ts, I don’t think Fab should play in midweek, it should be Scez only. He should get as many games as possible and no rotation for GK.
You are a hoot S2S..
Tony Adams depressing, you been on that same stuff John Henry accused Wenger of being on?? 😉
Failed to appreciate Ches?? Seriously? Most just see what goes on in front of their eyes. Today he was very good, let’s see him play like that for a few games on the trot before we think he’s Gordon Banks…
But you did say you missed the Villa game, maybe you should try and watch it…
Btw, I just got to know there is a team called Arsenal Kiev iin Ukrain. That’s nice. This midweek is too important for us. Everything depends upon that. Midweek will give some rest to Per and I think Sagna will play. So on weekend Sagna can go kicking Bale all over the place.
Btw, do Totts play midweek for Europa qualifier?
Rico,
I so wish to get that stuff with brownies or even ice-cream. lol. Long time since i had it. Good ol’ days.
Villa game was my b’day and I was out of town and couldn’t catch it. And tbh after seeing result I couldn’t even dare to see it.
That save from Scz at 1-0 was absolutely brilliant and he did have a good game.
Did I tell you guys I missed you.
Whose your choice?
Cabaye or MF?
Best you go and get some S2S…!
Me, Fellaini, any day of the week….
Am so damn happy today!!!!!why can’t it be this way every week?…
You know the answer Kt….
Hi Kt, s2s a very good all round performance by the boys.
This squad looks like it could be better than the ’08 squad with Cabaye and another striker plus RB.
very good goal by sturridge 1-0
It would be nice to aim for a squad better than 03/04…
You don’t ask for much Rico? 😛
RT @lee_ryder: It is understood it is Cabaye refused to play for #nufc today
No, not really Ts, look back at that squad, there were a few duffers in there but the first 11-14 players were really good…
We already have the crux, 3/4 top players would make so much difference….
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew wants Yohan Cabaye’s future resolved asap
Psg best hurry up then 😉
I am with you Rico re 11-14 very good to WC class players. I think that is why AW’s squad over the years have not done very well in Europe.
Already today you could tell TR07,OG12, Ramsey and Gibbs were struggling physically in the last 20 minutes.
That is where Rednose was far better. He rotated his squad before October and then settled on a group of 17 players or so when teams start playing 3 games a week.
AW on the other hand plays the same 14 until injuries occur and then by that time the ones after the first 15 or so would not have played since pre-season thereby making them rusty.
Benzema’s agent says his client won’t be joining us. 🙁
I didn’t believe in that rumour anyways.
I think AW will only get a DM, winger-Di Maria or Mata and a RB
That is just why most fans moan Ts, we cannot rotate so much because we don’t have the depth, well not in strength.
We have always had numbers but they could seldom be relied on our trusted…
I’m not against the likes of Gnabry, Eisfeld, Sanogo etc being in the squad, but they have to be well behind a first 16/17 really strong players, some of which need to be a cut above the rest…
I didn’t believe the Benzema story, Rooney or Suarez… He’s said he will get a striker..
Moyes is in for Di Maria…
Of course you are right. For instance Ryo,Serge may be very good however playing them without the likes of Arteta, TR07 and Poldi dramatically reduces the experience level in the line-up. The squad is not already blessed with power and height and so depending on the opposition it makes us very one dimensional.
Oh really re Di Maria to Moyes? 🙁
I suspect we may try Benteke again after Tuesday.
Barry hasn’t moved yet or has he?
Barry is still a City player…
I wouldn’t mind Benteke, not one bit.. I know many who would though…
Benteke reminds Syg of Adeba-whore. lol
We are being linked with Sakho again today 🙂
To be honest with you I wouldn’t mind MF; I just think he is better at other areas in the game than what he is stereotyped to be god at. i.e defending
http://gossip.ladyarse.com/arsenal/2013/08/24/arsenal-linked-with-sakho-who-wants-to-leave-psg/?
If he wasn’t left footed I will think so but…
Btw I can honestly say I heard from ‘someone’ before June that AW was never keen on a CB. The reason why I wrote in my post before the tour that BS3 will be moved to centre back.
Good point about him being a leftie. I thought the dippers wanted him…
Ah, you mean Malaga Gooner 😉
I think because of the WC, Sakho may go on loan to NUFC or Valencia…
MG, is my ‘sauce’. I thought everyone knew. 😛
At the moment because Sakho is behind K(b)oss/Mexes?Abidal/Rami for Le Bleus in the CB positions he won’t want to come and play backup to Kosser and the BFG. Not forgetting TV and Sagna at Arsenal.
TV has moaned about playing DM in the past otherwise he would have been ideal as an alternative for physical sides imho…
He’s a goo signing for £8 million..
I knew Ts, honest…
I wish you guys would click on the adverts every day 😉
You may have a point with Sakho to the dippers too, if the lose Agger to $hitty or Barca who need a CB too…
I’m not convinced Barca won’t try for TV… If they do, Sakho could be on the cards…
TV isn’t going to walk back into our defence…
TV won’t, based on his recent form, it looks like he can only play with the BFG but both the german and Kosser are ahead of him imo…
The mighty have truly fallen. Milan lost to Verona earlier.
ha ha ha

But Ts, why is he suddenly back in training? He was meant to be out for at least another few weeks…
Vermaelen to napoli done deal 16mill
Qpr after frimpong
malaga-gooner
😆
Boo, again!! rico, nope, didn’t see it. Telecast has not been sorted out yet. 🙁 🙁
One of these days, Malaga Gooner will be right. 😀
classic Mg
Oh no agag, how annoying….
No chance, he talks out of his bot! 😉
Never mind Malaga Gooner, my source has been telling me all summer that Benzema is a bottler, average at best !!! We shouldn’t be raiding Real Madrid for bench warmers and dirty Argies anyways.
tsgh, just admit it, rico’s got your number matey.
Great shock result at lunchtime btw.
Ha ha ha my buddy Micko is here. It was a shock for the doubters no doubt. lol
I know! Super annoying. All other leagues are on though, it seems. But who cares?? I only want to see Arsenal. 🙁 🙁
At least, he’s no loner parked here. 😛 Ha ha. you should write a reminder on your posts for everyone to click on the ads. 😉
Hi Micko, spot on…
Great display too by the boys…
Tbh tsgh, I was one of them, didn’t see the game, was doing the ring of Kerry today, got friends over, out for a few sherbets shortly, good to see Poldi on the score sheet, he ain’t going no-where.
Re Benzema I mean 😉
I need to agag, how am I meant to make millions if people don’t click on them 😉
Les Miserables has been on on DvD for the last 2 hours, what a boring boring film….
Makes multi tasking very easy….
Have to be honest rico, those ads get right up my nose, a fella with a big beer belly (and I’m not talking about wath) kept popping up on my screen the other day, sooooo annoying.
lucky you Micko… you have too much fun do you need not moan about AW giving his non-spending bonus to Rico. 🙂
Hiya, Micko!! I see you’re in a good mood. 😛
rico, you should. 🙂 Then you can be off on hols in the Caribbean. 😛
I would love to see Pirlo, Artet and Barry race 100m for charity.lol
I’m off for the day guys and gals. Have a good evening, night or day 😉
Catch up tomorrow…
Night all…
😆 Micko, mine too, but it has to be done …..
Ha ha agag, somewhere in England more like…
Gotta go now…
TTFN….
I didn’t see that either, rico. I only ever watch films on long haul flights because there is nothing better to do. 😀
Well don’t ever bother with Les Mis agag, its awfully boring….
Good night, rico. ginge, my money is on Arteta. 😛
Hi agag, nice to get our first win in the bag, I thought it was never gonna come !
Don’t know if it’s true but I heard Poldoski has a tatoo of both FC Koln and Arsenal on his person, but not Bayern, he obviously didn’t enjoy his time there.
Nite rico.
Micko, I don’t think he ha gotten an AFC one yet. 🙂 That could be ill advised. I remember that Liverpoop fan who had his name changed to “Fernando torres”. Hahaha.
tsgh, agag, it’s play time, catch you tomorrow.
Good night, guys! Have a fun night out, Micko. Drink like there’s no tomorrow. It’s Sunday, anyway.
Agag, it’s a well known fact that scousers are’nt very well furnished in the brains department lol, laters, be nice to wake up to a signing or three in the morning.
Night Micko and Agag.
Micko, the only signings you will be seeing will be in your dreams. lol
Morning all, Just clicked on ford zetec add 4 times that should make half a p. Great result yesterday, great goals Szez patercake hands palmed a free offer again doesn’t anything ever stick to his hands. Good result Tuesday and the flood begins 🙂 Mind you he could buy a keeper now surely they dont need CL
Morning All,
Cabaye done deal to arsenal 12/15 mill
West ham boys texting me last night on the train home.
Just passing it on.
Morning Fred, Sp and all…
Thanks Sp, when I don’t turn up one morning, you know I have my million 😉
Talk of us in for Mata now too fred, now that is one I’d love to see come true…
Wonder how the west ham boys know 😉
All the newcastle fans in the pubs before the game,
were asking why cabaye was not fined,
for breach of contract last week,
the rumour up north is that ashley/kinnear
don’t want him injured.
Just passing it on rico.
The plot thickens then fred, seems like he’s off, just will it be to us or Psg?
I’m not going to shoot the messenger 😉
Cabaye is on strike not a happy Bunny
Forcing his way out… Naughty really…
New post up now..
