Morning Gooners,
Why is it that as each transfer window approaches we sit, wait and wonder if a certain player is going or staying? Is it me or has this really been going on as long as I imagine?
Of course we all know who it is this time around and again it’s Liverpool who want our young Englishman. The way Rodgers was so smug in an interview last summer when asked about Walcott, I strongly suspect he’s been waiting and hoping he can finally land his man on the cheap in January or for free in the summer. According to reports this morning, £8 Million is the price Rogers will be offering in a couple of months time.
Well if Theo wants to head off and join Liverpool then he really needs his head tested. I doubt their wage structure is any better than ours, their manager certainly isn’t!
However!!
Something seems to have changed in the last few days, maybe weeks in fact after Walcott stepped onto the turf at Upton Park and secured us 3 points against West Ham. He then gave us a bit more impetuous up front when he came off of the bench against Qpr but not as much as he did in the Capital One Cup against Reading.
Once he scored our first goal, the man came alive and so did they all and his three goals went a long way towards ensuring we were in the pot for the next round.
It now seems Wenger has nothing but praise for our number 14:
In our team, we have freedom of movement. Nobody is handcuffed. When we have the ball, we have a lot of freedom to move. It’s important to know where we go, but I think Theo has learnt a lot on that.
He has good pace, [makes] excellent, intelligent runs, and what has changed with Theo is he’s become a very good finisher. I would take an example of his first goal the other night at Reading. It’s a real ‘finisher’s’ goal.
On his contract situation:
I’ve not thought about that [losing him], because at the moment I think we will still manage to make a deal with him. There is urgency [about sorting it out]. We want to sort it out before Christmas, one way or the other.
You fibber Arsene, of course you have thought about losing him and you really don’t want to.
Wenger needs t0 start playing the guy and not just from the bench either. His goals so far read seven in eleven fixtures and if he carries that on he will end up scoring more in one season than RvP did.
If he does, he made just save the club money in January too as a striker will no longer be at the top of the wish list.
It all makes sense, just play him, starting tomorrow at Old Trafford!
Next summer, we are heading to Indonesia.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis presented Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono with a personalised Arsenal shirt at No 10 Downing Street as part of a state visit to the UK.
Ivan Gazidis said:
Everyone at Arsenal is extremely excited to once again be visiting Asia and travelling to Indonesia for what will be the Club’s first visit to the country in 30 years.
We know that Arsenal enjoy fantastic support in Indonesia and we are all looking forward to bringing the Club closer to these loyal fans and learning more about the country’s rich heritage and culture.
I am sure it will be a great success and a wonderful experience for all involved but to be honest, I’d much rather Mr Gazidis was trying to sort out Theo’s contract with his agent, and finding new clubs for a few of our players…
Anyway, enough from me for today, have a good one…
I wonder who wrote the above post………..
1 million Euros for guessing rightly W.A.T.H. 🙂
Good Morning my Esteemed Fellow Gunners.
Nice write up Rico.
But at the end of the day if Theo goes to Liverpool it will be because he will see them as a stepping stone to a bigger club.
Make no mistake if he plays through the middle for them and he starts banging them in RM, Barca, Milan, Shitty or Manure will come calling.
Hi housers, for me it is simple. If walcott is staying he would have signed by now. Playing as a striker is only a smokescreen. Like van judas there are hidden issues between player and coach…. That said why i still dont rate him yet, i have a feeling that in 2 seasons he will be a world class player… Would be guttted to see him in a kop jersey then
MOrning all. Yeah wath, I really haven’t a clue who would have written such a post……!
I’ve said all along I love Theo, and he has what it takes to succeed at this level…….!!
Good morning all…
W.A.T.H who wrote this indeed? 😀
Lady Rico, I have been waiting for a post like this since…. 😀
Very good post but any time you mention Walnut I wonder if you like him for footballing reasons or …? 😉
Morning all…
It wasn’t me, I was sent it anonymously 😛
Bring back David Dein never had these problems when he was involved.
An empty stadium would make the suits sit up and take notice apart from Hill-Wood who would probably be asleep, poor old soul.
The problem is not offering theo a contract as you know but getting him to sign one what aplayer postulates to press and does are different if has/had any intentions of signing he would have done so. he believes he is worth a certain amount and is a striker. I agree on one of those points he now has shown he can finish regularly. why not give him a 75k week contract with a goals bonus of 25k if he gets a certain amounts of goals a season. everyone a winner. wenger has not played him regularly to show him that he is not the main man in team and we can get on without hiom to avoid a rvp situation. I would also like to congratulate wenger on a change of tactics in the cup ok born out of desparation a 4-2-4 no plan b well he had a plan we are in the shit lets throw everything we have at it. maybe he will look at using 4-4-2 in future games if things are not working as well as he would like.
have to ask why he should get a run ahead of giroud in the system we now play. do you serioussly think he has the ability to play as a lone striker and set up chances for those around him?
Ha ha Tsgh and rocky…..
kiwi, who suggested he should start ahead of Giroud??
Thanks devil – he’s always supported Liverpool but if he goes, I think like others here, he’d be heading to Manure to replace Nani…
The reason I posted this today is
1) because it’s all over afc.com with Wengers sudden ott support of him and
2) we need a bit of pace back in our side, and if we are as lacklustre as we have been recently against Manure tomorrow, we will get battered…
Morning all.
Nice post Rico,
Personally I’d like to see theo sign on as every year his stats get better and better. I reckon he’ll be a top forward and hopefully that’s with us, It’d be shite to see him performing well for another club. But let’s face it, that’s probably what will happen.
richard, but have we been doing that well without TW in the side??
I’m not so sure…
Re the change on Tuesday, long overdue wasn’t it. Why didn’t we do something similar at Norwich when we were desperate for a goal. Or even Sunderland at home etc…
Richard (with the capital R) agree there…
Well another lucrative tour in the offing, this time to Indonesia. But when are Arsenal going to offer the worldwide market a top class product. ManU, Ciye, Chelsae, Liverpool all have designated TV channels. Arsenal used to have until Setanta failed. Why do we now have a third rate TV Forum ? No disrespect to Tom Watt, but we used to see Reserve games, Under 18, even Ladies matches plus proper interviews. Now, it’s a bit like the Lord Mayor’s Show. Please Mr Gazidis have a look at this one.
Thanks Lewis, You and I think the same on this subject, we will have to defend him together 🙂
Wonder why AW is talking about RvP again…..
JG, We have been saying the same here since Setanta went broke…. I miss our own television channel…
Was it Rico?? Morning all, happy Friday!
Please no Santos tomorrow…..
Again I ask: why did Giroud and Coquelin not know that the cup game would go into extra time? It’s scary to tink that the team managers do not pay attention to these small details.
I think Walcot should start at right winger were he can drift in to strike. Should also be paired with Giroud if we need to change to a 2 pronged attack.
I meant @ right wing.
Ha ha Lee …
I want happy Saturday and Sunday and all next week….
Sadly it will probably be Santos, unless Wenger goes for Meade or Coquelin…
Morning Rico, Lee, Wath and all. Has Mel got her new Ferrari yet? Let’s get the priorities right
Good morning all,
I’m not sure Walcott will start tomorrow, Wenger said “we will have to wait and see how he recovers from playing 120 minutes on Tuesday”.
C’mon Arsene just give him a chance.
Jenkinson at right back, Sagna on the left!
Morning Adam, Mel got her jam jar late last year or early this year I think….
I want Theo to stay and I want us to play 4-4-2…! If we don’t play with some pace in the aide 2moro we gonna get spanked again and someone plz nobble Santos NOW before he even gets near the team bus…! Valencia,Young et al will rip him a new one..!
Young is a despicable cheat isn’t he? Please tell me that Web. Isn’t the re tomorrow.
Wath. I thought she would be wanting the newest model to befit her status as Theo’s girlfriend.
Sorry, that Webb isn’t the ref. bloody iPad!
I’m not sure Adam, Wath says she has….
JW – fingers crossed he’s recovered then…
Great mind think alike Wath, although I said battered 🙂
Few things I have to be doing so back in a while….
Workmen and tools Adam….
Lee… Are you calling Adam a tool?
Far from it Rockster….. however Santos!
Mike Dean Adam…………… as bad as Webb…. If not worse due to his pure hatred of all things Arsenal.
Lee you tool 😉
Ahhh.. Santos! Legend!
“Theo, oh dearest Theo, please don’t desert me, Theooooo”.
Morning you Happy Gooners.
Morning Rico, that was a great post.
Who did it, Wath???
JW says:
November 2, 2012 at 10:06 am
Jenkinson at right back, Sagna on the left!
Around a year ago people were grumbling because Jenkinson was playing and were calling for him to be replaced.
Seems as if his stock has risen now since he is touted for the match against Manure. And rightly so.
I have always defended him eversince he had his first game for AFC.
Pity we have no Gibbs.
But I agree with you JW…………..Jenks on the right and Sagna on the left.
Hi Rico, WATH, Lee and all you other Gooners. I haven’t been on for a while, just out of hospital after an op.
With regards Theo, if he goes, I think it will be as a winger to United, and his dream to play striker will be put back. I can’t see Fergie playing him as striker when he has, RVP, Rooney, Wellbeck etc.
I have a suspicion that he will stay at Arsenal, and will eventually play as a striker, he is still relatively young and in some ways
with his Roy of the Rovers wish.
I don’t have good vibes about the United match, hopefully Steve Bould has done a ” George Graham” and in training roped the back four together so that they defend, move and pivot as a unit, and has spoken to the midfielders and reminded them that it is essential that they defend and protect the defence when on the back foot.
Lets see.
Marinello.
Is Rico a female? Wow! I’m not new to this page but this is my first comment here. I’m from Nigeria. Has anyone read this article from goal.com on Judas? It’s a revelation. Here’s the link: http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2012/11/02/3495981/revealed-van-persie-told-wenger-which-players-to-sign-for
I agree Lee. I shouldn’t blame the iPad at all. I might end up not leaving a space between a comma and the next word. Like this,you know,if at all possible,that this is unforgivable.
I will try to do better Lee.
You know I agree with you on Theo Rico. For me the 2 big areas to get right tomorrow (assuming the 4-3-3) are the attacking right wing forward which has to be Theo and not Ramsey, and the left full-back position. I am not anti Santos but Utd pose a threat in that area and would prefer TV there to nullify the threat, and bring Koscielny in alongside the BFG.
GoonerB,Koscienly has not been playing well this season. I wish for that too but Hah…i’m not comfortable with that
Yes he supports Liver-poo.
And Parlour also mentioned this morning he supported WHU on the Alan Scottish show..
Where is Gallas and trophies that matter comment? Players can and go but I strongly believe we will be hear for at least another generation unless Adam and DG10’s prophesy quoted from icke comes true… 😉
Adam… Remember 2 spaces after a full stop….
AK, Who did it you ask… I reckon the carrot cruncher did it in the chicken coup…! 😉
Hi Marinello, It’s been a while, Hope all well with you mate and thats the op was a success..!
Good day gunners,
I seriously doubt theo will feature from the onset tomorrow after completing the entire COC match on tuesday. He might come off from the bench. Probably get a start against Schalke 04.
With regards to Walcott situation I believe he is already a gonner.
Just waiting for the transfer window to open or run down his contract until the summer.
For me Walcott is consistently inconsistent to play the striker role. Wenger has allowed him the freedom to roam up front. You don’t tell a coach where you should be playing it’s the other way round. I believe he is just using this striker issue as a smokescreen to push his move out of the club.
Is AW beginning to make needed substitutions before the 70 minute mark? judging from the last 2 games it seems he is doing it 5-8 minutes earlier than he has been doing.
Oi Wath, I’ll give you bloomin carrot cruncher!!
Afternoon guys and gals…
Marinello, hope all is ok now??
About time Tsgh…
emma – we won’t have to wait too long to find out if you are right, but suggestion is he really wants to stay…
Now if that ain’t a guilty conscience I don’t know what is…. How would you ever deduct the carrot cruncher bit was aimed at you 😛
Err, because you have previous for calling me that !! 😛
Rocky. I will strive to improve.
I wonder who could have written this? 😀 😀 Hello, all. I’m keeping schtum on Theo. I might be binned. 😛
The Manchester United ‘old grey wife swapper’ is trying to stir the muck before tomorrow then with his RvP comments …
Afternoon all,
rico, Rodgers making a derisory offer for Walcott in January, isn’t that what Arsene Wenger does every transfer window.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Marinello, I hope you’re alright. 🙁
Adam, or dis n dat speak iz d way fwd 4 d yout…but after meeting you, I can’t see you conversing in this fashion!
Hi agag, you little tinker….
Hi Micko – I agree re the gooses and and ganders…
Not sure I called any offer derisory though 😉
Marinello long time no see, hope alls good mate!
We’d have no problem filling a plane for Lourdes with the gang on here.
Hope your fighting fit again Marinello, good to have you back.
The sagas with RVP and Walcott only goes to show the foresight (finally) that the club showed in moving on Song so smartly in the summer.
rico, I find this Theo contract business a little annoying; because it’s gone on and on and ever on. Come on now, Theo. Sign!!
Lee, that sounds like Frimpong.
Micko, haha. That’s cos we’re all ooooldddd 🙁 😉
Hey Lee, ‘ows tings da hood bruv?
Hi Kev..
Surely if AW thought an agreement couldn’t be met with TW he too would have been out the door in the summer?
agag, it’s not only his, it’s all those before him too, hopefully, as Kev says, the way we deal with contracts is changing.
It’s Arshavin where we’re gonna take a big hit, probably eyeing a move back to Zenit in the summer.
He may be lazy but he’s shown in the last couple of games if your prepared to run at defences and cross a ball there’s goals to be had in this team
Good Afternoon Adam. And how is your day my fine fellow?
One of the reasons Robin van Persie left Arsenal was because he did not want Arsene Wenger to promote Steve Bould to the assistant manager’s position.
The Dutchman made a contentious move to the Gunners’ Premier League rivals Manchester United this summer and a revealing report from Goal.com claims one of his objections was the appointment of Bould as Wenger’s new right hand man.
Pat Rice had occupied the role for the entirety of Wenger’s reign at Arsenal, but took the decision to retire at the end of last season.
The report claims Van Persie saw this as an opportunity to draft in a number two from outside Emirates Stadium and help to freshen things up at the north London club, seeing Bould as just another one of Wenger’s ‘yes men’.
This reportedly sparked heated exchanges between the two and, added to more of Van Persie’s demands, damaged the pair’s relationship irreparably, ultimately leading to the then Arsenal captain moving to Manchester United.
Afternoon Rico. Ooo arr and how’s your tractor?
Bejabbers Mick.
You having one of your funny turns kev ?
It’s a combine AK…..
Am I 1st Mick?
I saw that article too devil, then when he found out Santi was joining he thought twice. Shame!
I ain’t got no trac’or Kev….
Micko, agree on AA, I was amazed he last extra time against Reading, he’s obviously worked on his fitness and not once did his head go down, unlike last season.
Maybe RvP had a bit to do with that….
I’d rather him than Gerv at the moment
Funny how all these ‘Superstars’ are shit midway thru a contract, then into their final year or two they change into a player like Marco Van Basten…
Surely money has nothing to do with it…?!
Perish the thought…
Mick, no funny turn mate, just bored.
But tonight, after a few jars, I will be happy again… 😛
Hi Coach. Did RIP mention who he wanted as Wenger’s number two?
Does anyone think that RIP will be telling Fergie how to run his affairs at Old Toilet???
Hey Dutch, what is Flemish for pillock???
Kev, even I have accepted it’s about money again 😉
The article didn’t specify that much about RvP, but it was goal.com so could all be garbage…
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2012/11/02/3494876/-#
Kev, leave room for a liquid lunch tomorrow.
None of the team that started against qpr started against Reading mid-week, think it will be more of the same tomorrow.
Walcott may have to settle for a place on the bench.
Didn’t Arsenal come out with the same speil last summer about our tour of Nigeria, pulling out at the last minute disappointing a lot of Gooners out there, shouldn’t they be making an effort to go back there instead.
Mind ya, we get a phone deal outta it at the time, I’m sure that appeased the people of Nigeria.
Ha ha ha ….like Marco Van Basten. Very true Kev. if it does not work they try to be the next Zidane plus the the devils claw pose and all. 😀
This link is for you Kev and your brotherhood… 😉
http://www.quickmeme.com/Samir-Nasri-Masonic-pose/?upcoming
It’s a rat trap baby……and you’ve been caught!
I’m dreading tomorrow…..
Saturdays are bwilliant!
Not when Arsenal are playing football at lunchtime Lee 🙁
Hi Kev. My day has been like a cabbie’s tour of central London. First stop Chancery Lane then left into Hatton Garden. Visit the jeweller to have Mrs Adam’s diamond ring sized then off for lunch in Bleeding Heart Yard Tavern where I made a 3G post to answer Rocky. Mrs Adam, having consumed a huge roast main course surprised the waiter by ordering blackcurrant and apple crumble with Cinnamon ice cream and a freshly squeezed orange juice. I could see him wondering where she put it all. After that we had a walk through Smithfield, past Bart’s hospital then on to Old Bailey and St Paul’s Cathedral, pausing only to take a few snaps in the Autumnal sun. Hopped on the Central Line at Bank and just home for a cuppa. Not really looking forward to tomorrow though but a nice, if somewhat expensive day.
How the other half live Adam, I’m off to tread the lanes around sunny Berkshire, with a woofa in tow of course… Well, she’ll be towing me I suspect….
Back in a bit…
Come off it Rico. Sitting there in your country mansion 🙂
Country pile no-less….
It all makes for a rather dramatic story and stokes the fires before tomorrow’s game. Unfortunately the truth is somewhat less interesting and complex. Van Persie made the decision to leave after Cesc went and played out of his skin to get a big wage move. He visited Juventus and had preliminary talks with them but was really only interested in money. Loyalty and the fact that Arsenal had bailed him out of a rape charge for which he was looking at a career-ending sentence and stood by him when he injured for long periods never came into it. He wanted to go because he wanted the money.
Well you know what i feel about lunch time kick-off’s.
The only consolidation will be if $hitty and the scums both drop points. I am also counting on the swans to at least get a draw against the racist chavs…
Hey Adam you know the romantics and those who know it all will only see it as arsenal lacking ambition as always. 😉
I’m seriously not having that…. a modern day footballer only in it for the money?!?!
Yes, the scene with Wenger, Long John Silver like with a patch on his eye, shouting at Van Persie is dramatic isn’t it? When they make the movie version I see George Clooney as Wenger and Jude Law as Van Persie perhaps with Jodie Marsh as Van Persie’s victim in Amsterdam? And Freddie Starr as Alex Ferguson.
And Tim Spall as Sammy “the snake” Nasri. Captain Picard as Steve Bould and William Shatner as Stan Kroenke, but with a better syrup.
Hello, again! 🙂 Adam, busy day, I see. 😉 Have you been saving up for Christmas.?
Hiya, Lee and Ginger. 🙂
Again, our game won’t be shown tomorrow. Grrrr. 😡
Agag. I only celebrate Christmas every other year these days. Saving is not an option for me. 🙂
‘arry has to make his acting debut in the flick after that successful Nintendo Wii commercial …
hi agag.
My weekend starts and ends today because the thought of Mcpurple face doing his mickey mouse celebration after the greedy you know who has scored, well is not even worth seeing.
On the other hand I will pay a weeks wages to see RedNose chew his gum extra fast after OG12 and Poldi have slotted a few past the useless manure defense. 😀
TsGH. Mike Reilly has been working behind the scenes to ensure that doesn’t happen.
Adam, it’s not an optional celebration. 😛 But I know what you mean about saving. Hah.
Ginger, I’m not worried about tomorrow. Not really. I just feel like our players will be up for it. I am being uncharitable in the extreme but I hope Robin van Traitor gets kicked off the park. Hell hath no fury like a fan girl scorned and all that.
Well it was halloween a few days ago so I am sure RedNose & Reilly had a very detailed discussion over a vin rouge or should I say human blood to put the proverbial final nail into our coffin… 😡
Agag. I have heard that Phillipino women NEVER forget. A scary thought.
Money or title? He rip remains a traitor. Our left back tomorrow should be made important. Theo pls wait, dont go.
You bet ya, Adam. 🙂 🙂 Iron fist in a velvet glove. And a stiletto heel for kicking arses. 😳 There are many of those.
Ginger, After that laughable refereeing v. Chavs; I know I will be appalled but won’t really won’t be surprised by decisions that are certain to go against us.
ha ha ha… so is this a myth or not that Filipinas women are splendid home keepers? 😮
I have a neighbour whose 4th wife is filipino and he reckons he has hit the jackpot with Iska.Anytime I see her she is with a harrods shopping bag though. 😀
A manure supporter I know reckons the reason why the ref allowed the 2 extra minutes against Reading on tuesday was to ensure that when Howard adds 5 extra minutes tomorrow the pundits can say things even out in football.
Ginger, there are many exceptions to that home keeping rule. 😀 But good for Iska and her shopping bags. She gets my two thumbs up. 😉
The refereeing and the failure to adopt video technology is just silly. Positively archaic. Quite embarrassing, tbh.
Must agree that TW is off to scousers or untd.
He would of signed by now, if he was staying.
He can get his 100k pw from either of them.
TW could be a decent 20 goal per season striker.
I am torn; he is soooo inconsistent, yet i believe still very young and can mature into a class act.
We must give TW respect for being a wonderful role model by keeping his life clean.
If we must buy to replace, sign him, as we do not need another player coming in taking 4 months to acclaimitize.
That could cost us 4th spot.
Interesting Goal comments on RVP. I believe it, and feel that RVP was right to question Wenger and his philosophy.Remember he was the captain and had justification to question some ideas.
I am nervous about tomorrow like many simply because of Mannone and Santos.
Come on You Reds
Good evening..
Country mansion and pile Adam/Lee… 😆 I wish….
Tsgh – haha re the ref…
Hi Rico. You are back from your walk around your country estate
Hi Tsgh – I wish, just around the village looking at homes i wish I could afford…. 😉
‘evening all,
Had a really nice five and a half mile walk around Felbrigg Estate this morning, it has to be said that the going was soft to softer across some of the cow pastures but the weather was great. Finished off with a lovely piece of beer-battered cod and chips and a pint of Hobgoblin in my local. I was then forced to take a brief siesta before reading the latest HH comments.
It seems the consensus is that Walcott should be given a chance up front and there is a deal of concern over Santos at left back.
Frankly I’m not expecting to get any points tomorrow, I think our defence is a bit too fragile to cope. One point will be a bonus, three will be a b****y miracle.
i have been anti- theo in the past, but now i must admit that i would rather keep him. the club tried to be tough with him, but he holds all the cards. now we will lose him for nothing..his mind is made up, the talk of wanting to be a striker is cover for his exit. we should have given him a higher offer…much sooner, or sold him much sooner.—–OR– we could have given closer to what he wants, but sold him in the future if not working out….some team would pay him 100k or more. —-letting it run to the end is just complete foolishness. when will we learn?
Hi JW
I think ‘One point will be a bonus, three will be a b****y miracle’. is just about right
Hi Nt..
I don’t think we’ll see another situation like this again, Nasri, RvP and now TW have hopefully taught the club a lesson….
JW, that scoreline sounds about right mate.
With Dean in charge, if we keep them to no more than two goals then we have a chance of a draw.
Adam, that sounds like the germination of a film script you are concocting.
Hi Ginge.
Mick, I have to work tomorrow, but your suggestion of a liquid lunch is very tempting. It just doesn’t go with driving up the West End, sadly.
If Walcott does leave I can see him going to Italy, Can’t think why any player would want to go to Liverpool at the moment, their squad is total crap, they have no chance of getting into the Europa League let alone the Champions League, mind you Walcott would have a free choice of which position he plays in there.
If he went to Manure he would be stuck out on the wing again, at Man City he would warm the bench next to Na£ri and at the Chavs he would be expected to supply crosses for Torres the biggest waste of money ever.
Thanks Kev. The part of Victoria Beckham can only be played by one person though. 🙂
The substitutes at Old Toilet could be interesting.
Wonder who, from Tues night, could have played themselves into the 18..?
Eisfeld? Arshavin? Walcott?
Can’t see him going abroad JW, he’s too much of a family man I think… And he’s too clean for that corrupt league…
All 3 imho Kev…
Who can play her part Adam? 😉
Off to get dinner, back in a bit…
Carol Vorderman Rico. Who else? 🙂
Adam, of course, we all know Posh…
Do you think you find a part for Stan?
I was thinking Jaap Stam….
Know what I mean?!
Accountfont could be Darren Dein…
See where i’m going here Adam?!!!
yes Rico, i hope we have learned, but really too late. we have to fix this salary structure. I understand not wanting to risk 30 million on a purchase. but for wages, we must allow ourselves to retain our stars sometimes. a raise amounting to 1 – 1.5 mil a year for theo at this point is not absurd if it keeps us from avoiding a large loss with him leaving on a free. he could be sold further down the road if neccessary.
No internet for me tonight.virgin media rubbish.i hope I have my sky tomorrow during the match.
Rico I have told a friend down your county to look out for a posh spice lookalike who wears a ‘I love Theo’ t-shirt walling a woofa….
Stan could be Jaap Kev and Dein certainly has a part to play too.
Silly me Adam, who else 😉
You might wish you hadn’t tomorrow Tsgh….
Quiet on here Rico.
Hi Adam, it is, but Fridays often are and maybe firework displays are on…
I reckon everyone is taking tranquillisers ready for tomorrow. I am.
Daily Mail had a great article on Cazorla.
His mother said he was distraught after the Norwich loss and inconsolable.
More players like this please AW.
Could you email me some please Adam?
That’s interesting a117, haven’t seen that one…..
On their way Rico. Only take one before the game because I think you might need another at half time and perhaps yet another at full time. By then posters will be telling you how great Kroenke is and that we don’t need to spend like Man City.
I am dosed up now hence the frivolous nature of my posts.
Ha ha and thank you Adam, I suspect by half time I would have swallowed the lot….
You may sleep well tonight then?
I hope so. Quality sleep has been hard to come by lately.
I saw that Cazorla article. It was nice. Seems like a lovely man and he’s never been charged with rape either.
Just been reading it too, he does seem a lovely man, but you can see that when he plays, he’s always smiling. It seems Pires tried for two years to get AW to sign him…
Oh well, I think my day in the HH world is done, going to watch a bit of television and do nothing 🙂
Hope you get a better night’s sleep Adam and enjoy the rest of your evening too, Nighty to you and all…
‘Til tomorrow….
Me too. Night all.
1st
Here I am, at Waterloo Station, waiting for that ellusive fare that will take me home….
“Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and chickens play”
Evening Kev.
Morning Scott
These crunch contact talks don’t usually go well. Every time Wenger says he is confident a player will stay… Well… We’ve all seen it before.
I do hope this time will be different.
I expect the lads to be up for the match and out to prove a point. This is not an all-conquering United team. If the yiddos could do it then so can we. Looking fwrd to good football. COYG!
I’m knocking off Scott.
So i’ll bid you Goodnight Digger
I am rather distressed,Kev.
After the opposition declared last week at 4 for 300….or 300 for 4 In England 🙂 …and we were 7 for 102, i wake up to see it is pelting down rain today.
I was staring down the barrel of a century,as i am already not out on 6,batting spectacularly and now this??
I had them right where i wanted them!!!
Are we confident v Utd mate??
See ya Kev.
Will,under the circumstances,i really hope we sort a deal out with Theo.
Not so much to keep Theo as to placate fans,prove the club can hang on to its better players and to give the media a big shit sandwich to chew on.
That didn’t come out right.
Yes,we would love to keep Theo,but the other reasons are important and beneficial,as well.
It Came out just fine Scott. Agreed. Turd sandwich and all.
