Morning all…
The press are having a field day right now aren’t they?
Having gone from goodness knows how long of being right behind the red side in Manchester, they are absolutely berating them.
They have headlines suggesting David Moyes United career is hanging by a thread and they even have a photograph of him stood by a blue exit sign which I thought was quite clever and slightly amusing. Especially as the blue side of Manchester are soon to be heading off to Wembley for their first final under their new manager.
Then there’s another headline which relates to RvP and how he’s been caught telling tales on his new manager to the Dutch press. He says that his club’s tactics are all very wrong and that’s the reason Manchester United are not having such a good season.
After watching some of their match in the Champions League, which was so dire I turned it off, I think it’s more of a case that players are rubbish under performing and appear disinterested in playing for their new manager. Still, at least they are all becoming very wealthy along the way and the longer their spiral downwards continues the better…..
Then of course there is Chelsea and Jose, who Adam wrote about yesterday, rather splendidly I must add. Well Jose has also been caught out, not with his pants down like our very own Giroud but apparently he’s been overheard telling someone that his strikers are rubbish. Well something like that anyway which will no doubt irk his current strike force…
Not even a 1-1 draw in Turkey last night pleased those good old journalists, ‘sloppy defending cost dear’ they write this morning. Ha!
There’s a rumour going around that Jose is going to do all he can to sign Mesut Ozil in the summer……
Mourinho loves to keep in touch with his former players, sending them messages and this is what has been done with Özil.
Mou has told the German to ignore the strong criticism he’s getting for his poor performances at Arsenal and will make every effort to sign him.
That’s from a Spanish source called AS.
Well maybe Chelsea can give us Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic in exchange if Jose wants him that badly!!
Talking of Mesut Ozil, the best the press can do with us is to really stretch out the story of him bumping into photographer in his car and of course ‘that penalty!
If that’s all they can come up with then good.
Lukas Podolski:
The team spirit is always good here, even after defeats. This is a great team – there’s a good atmosphere between us and up until now, we’ve had a super season. We need to keep that with us now.
I’ve been at a few clubs and in different dressing rooms but I’ve never been in a team with such a strong spirit. You feel comfortable here – be it on the pitch or off it. You always look forward to being with the team and I think that helps us in matches.
So whist everything appears rosy in our backyard, it makes a change for other clubs around the top to have a taste of the kind of journalist garbage we have had to endure for years…
Makes fun reading though…..
That’s it for another day…..
I am yet to read anything remotely negative Podolski has ever said in his time at Arsenal.
It just adds to the mystery of why he gets limited game time.
Morning all.
Boring Boring Chelsea…
Morning Kev.
Hi all,
Well it feels great to have other teams treated like we are. Now all we need are the refs to start liking us too.
Morning All
Just been re-reading yesterday’s post for the third time, it really was very very good…
Morning Lee, up with the Lark again mate…
I only do an early start now and again, and it creases me, so big admiration for you and your alarm clock… 😉
Morning Adam, yes mate, chilled and thoroughly enjoyed, thanx again…
It will taste as sweet as a Carlos Santana riff, played on a Stratocaster… 😀
Off to read today’s post…
What was Jose doing on the pitch last night having a chat with the ref. If there was a dispute surely it should have been settled by the fourth official or Jose spending the rest of the match in the stands.
Morning Scott
3 weeks today i leave Oz, but who is counting?
Ah, the sweet sound of the Stratocaster. I know it well. 🙂
Carlos Santana ” by Jingo”
Before the Manc game SSN referred to us as crisis club Arsenal because we had just lost to the dippers! Their propaganda knows no bounds.
Morning all,
Maybe its me but why are we so uptight about other teams and their Managers. To be quite honest i don’t really care how much stick they get from the press or Media. If you was just talking about pundits commentators and the press and what a gutter press it is, as we have had our share of their tripe. But i realise that top of the league sides are our immediate rivals but surely we are all football lovers and surely we realise by now that we are being played by the powers at be. Its time we realised that all the clubs are doing their best to win trophies or stay in the same devision much the same as us, so why turn on everybody. They feed us lies of what Kroenke and Wenger have said or are going to do and we buy it as gospel, Still the press media or whoever else will not come out and say we may win a cup or the league but at some stage, if we keep winning they will have to change their minds. Its about time we got behind our own team and stopped worrying about all the others.
Morning all…
Me Scott because that’s when I go on holiday 😆
Morning all. I love Podolski. Just wish he could get a decent run in the team.
Super Post, Rico and it contained everything I wanted to hear! 🙂
If I am being totally candid I would say that I would be quite happy to never hear from, or about, the excruciatingly narcissistic Moaniho again, and I have also had my fill of the gloating Manure fans from Surrey, but to read that they are getting a bit of a pasting seems eminently justified.
What goes around, comes around, in this dog eat dog world of football!
Just read yesterday’s post…. Belter!
Thanks Hb..
The longer those two clubs stay in the press and us out the better…..
It was indeed Rocky, had twitter talking 😉
is HH on twitter?!
Afternoon Rico…
I guess you are all Cardio’ed up and ready to take on the blog world and sock it to ’em, with your bulging biceps… 😉
followed!
Afternoon Stranger, er, Rocky….. 😛
It is Rocky..
Afternoon Kev..
Likewise Rocky….
Hi Kev.. . How you diddling? Been a while! Thanks Rico. Don’t get on there much but nice to keep in the loop!
Not bad today Rock, up early today, ugh, but it paid off…
good effort! I was up early, but definitely am not feeling any benefit at all. Just tired!
Afternoon Rico and all, been a while.
Thank God I didn’t miss Adam’s post altogether.
Is this the graveyard shift?
read the post yesterday but couldn’t comment….hats off Adam very nice read indeed..heya everyone..think poldi is spot on this group are a united bunch and long may it continue..good post as well rico
Afternoon Chills, just a quiet time, probably because we are doing ok 😉
Was thinking I was by my self.
Afternoon snaparse.
Afternoon, mum. You mean we are good at moaning and whining?
Hi snaparse, thanks..
Sure seems like Podolsi is right, despite the media making a big deal about Flamini and Ozil having ‘words’.
We ask for leaders on the pitch don’t we?
Not at all Chill, but when we need a moan, websites like these are the best place..
Stops people from throwing things at the television 😉
Read the Stoke fans are planning a reception for Ramsey’s apparition.
…or from deliberately misplacing their iphones…
Dunno why people forget that what transpired between MO and MF is a heat of battle thingy.
Idiots they are, he won’t even be there….
I heard that the Stokies are getting cardboard cut outs of Ramsey so that they can vent their collective spleens.
They should try effigies, I heard they are more effective, Potter.
Rico, now I understand why they are referred to as orcs.
They need to get a life…
Can’t believe there are international friendlies next Wednesday… Hope AW is ready to confirm a few niggles to players…. Pointless and could seriously damage our FA Cup challenge..
Nipping off now for a few hours, catch up later….
A break? Thought it was pure sailing until the summer.
Gotta laugh at the stoke trolls!! I guess Ramsey did start it by getting his leg broken! Shame on him!!! Hope they get relegated
It’s a long way to Tiperrary.
Afternoon Rico and all…
Hi there CH… where have you been?
https://twitter.com/AlexChaffer/status/439055815258144769/photo/1
Vidic has signed with Inter… so I guess Sagna will follow too…
At least TV is back… I can’t wait to see him in Stoke…
Wenger: “Vermaelen at left-back against Stoke? If needed he can do it.”
Lol… rat leaving a sinking ship…
van Persie: “We are lousy. In a lousy League position & out of the cups. And now the Champions League looks hard…
Welcome Claregooner, sorry you were stuck in moderation for so long, hope you pop back to say hello..
Afternoon all…
Hi Ts, TV at left back hasn’t gone too well in the past….
No-one around it seems… Laters..
I’m here Rico. 🙂
As am I again Adam 😛
Anelka gets just a 5 match ban then. Pff!!
A great shame for such a on honourable man.
Hi Rico.
An honourable.
Hi Adam. Not what I’d call him… But I do know you are kidding…
Rico. I know. 🙂
Off now. Chat tomorrow I hope. 🙂
Night Adam.
I’m off too.
Night all, enjoy the rest of your day…
I am here Rico…
I am here Adam… 😉
I am here Grumpy… 😛
Night All…
There we go wanted spurs to win tonight and what do we get spurs are 1down and have to score 3 go through to the next round.
Spurs have now scored 2 good one more please
Gonerjoe, the scum aren’t a threat to us, I’d rather they got the shit kicked out of them myself, maybe i’m just old skool.
I am old school to but if they go through they play mid-week before we go to WHL let’s take every advantage we can get. Let’s hope they face extra time and lose on penalties.
Totts-Benfica in next round
They have gone through
No extra time it’s it’s the first match in the tie.
But they play Chelsea the weekend before then Benfica on Thursday night or spursday night and us on the following Sunday and we have the week off.
Gonerjoe, didn’t realise that, can see where you were coming from now.
JM, Benfica will muller them.
Nite Gooners.
Morning all….
Morning…
Fuck stoke fans and fuck shawcross….I really hope we smash the living daylights out of the wankers!
Come on Lee, say what you really think 😉
Rico, I really hate them….Pulis a complete fucktard and they’ve replaced him like for like!
Morning Rico and all…
My train ticket and all are booked for Stoke… not looking forward to seeing how Mark Hughes devices guerrilla tactics against us…
Morning Rico and all.
Stoke is a horrible town, populated by horrible people who support a despicable rugby-football club…
I will truely celebrate on the day they once more experience relegation…
Morning Rico, Adam, Lee, Scott and All
Lee, so do I trust me. I despise everything about that club!
Morning Adam, Ts, Kev & Lee 🙂
It was hilarious reading the chairman of Stoke asking the ‘Arsenal’ fans to go easy on Shawcross….!!!
What a fecking pillock…
Why???
Bollocks to the lot of them, pure scum…
We just have to make sure we batter them good and proper!
Flamini will be up for this one, just hope he doesn’t do anything silly and get himself another red card…
New post up now..
