Morning all.
Mathieu Debuchy will be out for at least three months after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle. Dreadful news for Arsenal, dreadful news for the player.
He has had surgery and will be out for three months. A reasonable delay is three months.
It all went well, but it can be a week or two earlier or a week or two later, but it will be around three months.
It is a blow of course, how big it will be we will only know afterwards because it will be down to how well we replace him. We bought Calum Chambers for that.
Funny that, I thought Calum Chambers was signed to replace Thomas Vermaelen! Silly me, no-one was signed to replace our captain!!
Gutted for Debuchy though, he’s slotted in so well and wham, injured! We really don’t get much luck do we……
Still, now we will have two new signings around Christmas time, him and Olivier Giroud!
Some good news though re Theo Walcott and Serge Gnabry:
Theo is doing very well, and Gnabry is doing very well too. They should be available after the international break for full training.
Southampton in the Capital Cup tonight and we can expect a few changes tonight if the squad details given out by Arsene Wenger are true.
Hector Bellerin, Francis Coquelin, Isaac Hayden, Chuba Akpom and Semi Ajayi are all included, as is David Ospina.
Arsene Wenger has been talking about Akpom:
I’m happy that he has developed as a goalscorer, because when he was a younger kid, his problem was finishing. That has gone now. He’s a very good finisher and he has now to learn the tactical side of his game. Then he will be ready, because he is a huge talent.
And about Isaac Hayden:
He’s a ball winner, he’s a good central defender and a good central midfielder. Technically he was working on his game a bit, but now he is ready for that level.
We all saw Hector Bellerin make his Champions League debut and he far from let himself down and he was certainly nowhere near being any worse than most of our players that night. I think he’ll start.
We could finally get to see Joel Campbell too and to be honest, him playing has been long overdue and at least we’ll see him getting back to help out our right back!
Nacho Monreal and Yaya Sanogo remain injured so won’t feature. Sanogo injured, now there’s a shock!
But a bigger shock is Abou Diaby, he’s set to make his 2014/15 season debut tonight after playing a couple of matches for the under 21’s and have being a substitute at the weekend.
40 injuries Diaby has suffered during the eight years he’s been with us and now at 28 years old, Wenger hopes his future is a good one:
He’s a giant mentally. To do what he has done, with the severe injuries he had, he comes back every time, is dedicated and he deserves a lot of respect.
I’m a huge believer in his quality and I’m sad as well that he couldn’t show it more. If there is some justice, the future will be much better for him.
I hope the future will be much better for him too, I really do as to have suffered the way he has is rotten. How he’s still with us though I’ll never know but that’s a different issue. I hope for our sake and his, he stays fit and can offer the team something different in midfield.
At least he brings a little more height into the team as will Isaac Hayden..
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has promised the 5000 travelling fans that he will field his strongest squad tonight:
Okay, it’s a difficult match, it’s the League Cup. But what I said before, in the League Cup against Millwall, we like to win everything.
If a player’s in good shape, he’s able to play. We don’t take risks, but normally we like to play our strongest squad for Tuesday.
I think it’s going to be a tough match if too many changes are made by Arsene Wenger but in this competition, that’s what he likes to do..
Fingers crossed whoever gets the nod, has a bit of fire and passion in their bellies…
COYRRG’s – let’s get through to the next round…..
Have a great day all……
Morning all.
Nice post rico. Hope to god diaby can stay fit this season, more for his own sanity!
Interested to see the squad tonight, koeman has said he’ll field his strongest 11 so it will be a stern test for our second string. None of our first 11 should be anywhere near this game IMHO. Rest them.
we need a bit of exp in that team like other teams do
Thanks Lewis..
Looking forward to seeing Ospina..
morning all!
Not Zelalen tonight. He played yesterday for U-21 (1-2 defeat).
The problems is in back. We haven’t 4 fresh players. Monreal is out. Gibbs need a rest. Kos and Mets need a rest too because they played international games. Play with Chambers is a risk.
JM, perhaps AW will start with the under 21 central pairing at the back?
It will be the same problem all season , when we have the ball , no real problems but when they have it :- Cover your eyes and think of England.
Morning rico, All…
Nice post.
There’s no better time than now to blood and examine players that must step up to cushion our inadequate summer business as well as our usual unlucky spell with injuries. Ospina, Hayden, Bellerin, Diaby, Campbell are all just one injury to relevant first team players to be called to action. The COC should forever be used to help the main team. Rosicky may captain the team.
Ospina, Bellerin, Chambers, Hayden, Coq, Flamini, Diaby, Rosicky, Campbell, Akpom, Ox…my preferred line-up.
yes Bellarin, Haydn, Ajahi and Coquelin? (the left back was played yerterday and was the cap…)
Ospina gk; Flamini,Diaby,Rosicky,Ox?, …. Akpom and Campbell or Podorslky
or Podorsky left back, Coquelin in the middle…
Don’t you mean when we have the ball, fall asleep Potter… lol
From the the last post Rico if you could see Giroud’s injury coming a ball breaks a bone or Debuchy jumping up with no one around him and both out till January .
Rico can you email next months lotto numbers 🙂
Poldoski left back?that’s a joke huh?what I love about †̥ђis moment is how we fans are guessing/predicting †̥ђƺ line up,its kind of interesting.
I meant injuries in general Joe, it happens every season…
Joe seems obsessed with lotto
How’s the erection going Rico?
Sukky it’s the only way I am going to be able to afford a season ticket
Kev, i was afraid to ask?..lol
BT, there’s nothing more disappointing than an erection that flops….
Injuries every season never a truer word but boy do we get some strange ones and they are always long term.
They have only just arrived Kev, and there was me, up early thinking they’d be here at 8am… Doh!
†̥ђƺ question is why always arsenal?injury,injury,injuries every season.I’ve been blaming it on bad luck for a very long time but last season,I got †̥ђƺ answer.Wenger is †̥ђƺ problem.I will tell you why if you ask….lol
Wenger can’t be blamed for either of the injuries to Debuchy or Giroud, but he can be held accountable for the lack of squad depth to cover for them both…
Yep sukky Wenger goes out on the pitch and kicks crap out of our players. 🙂
Rico it seems to me that jenk’s should be brought back
Don’t think he can be Joe, a season long deal is a season long deal. Plus it wouldn’t be fair on West Ham…
Gj, if that’s true, i wish he would stop it…lol
Good post Rico, i’m looking forward to tonight, the return of the King…..should you not be supervising the “big…..”..?
F west ham 🙂
It’s also not fair to Arsenal Jenks is our player and we are down a couple of 19 year old ‘s.
I know he’s on a year long loan but the should be a call back clause for injuries.
Morning all.
Rico you mention both Debuchy and Theo in the post. They are both out with self inflicted injuries, serious injuries at that. They were both hurt chasing an almost uncontested ball and, correct me if I’m wrong but they were both in nearly the same spot on the Emirates turf! Coincidence or just chance? I wonder if beneath that piece of turf lies the “cursed” spuds shirt, allegedly planted by one of the ‘builders’ during the Emirates erection!! Or is it just a myth. But strange, very, very strange. The similarities may be worth investigating!
Or am I just off on one……?
Tonight we should win and our shadow team should display their class and efficiency. 2-1 to the Arsenal.
COYRRs
Thanks Bt..
I am and what a bunch of W*****s they are, turned up and were just about to put the shed in the wrong place!! Hopeless….
Needless to say, I am livid as they haven’t even put the base down yet!
Rico, i just knew you would be “hands on”…lol…getting mee coat…
You wouldn’t be saying that if we had a player on loan who was then called back Joe.. 😉
Hi all
I’d like to see
Ospina,
Bellerin, Hayden, Ajayi, Flamini
Coq, Diaby
Campbell, Rosicky, Podolski
Akpom
Subs; Bould, Rice, Wilson, Gatting, Primorac, Brady, Gazidis
I didn’t realise that about the turf Wavy, I suspect it’s just a freaky coincidence….
🙂 Bt, good job eh… lol
Good team there Bob, suggestion is Alexis might start tonight having had a rest on Saturday….
Love the subs bench…
You know what, I bet we’ll see Sanogo tonight…
Well I did offer to help Rico.
Even with a bad back… 😉
I wish you had of Kev… 😛
Joe, he’s injured, not back until October…
Roger, hope we see him sitting in the stands……
Nice post, imo we shouldn’t play chambers per kos or gibbs…. wenger has left us criminally short at the back, we must prioritise… If we lose so be it, we quite simply do not have the depth for premier league, champ league and carling cup. Imo
Just checked for streaming of the game, plenty of links…yipee!!!!
Thanks Kel..
Are they all dodgy Bt?
I’m going tonight so I hope to see the strongest (within reason) team out lol
Lucky you Nickie. I have a sneaky feeling you’ll see a pretty strong team and those who are rested will be on the bench ready just in case… lol
So much injury worries,bt We have a pretty strong ‘non-starters’ team.I wnt mind risking Kos,as CB pair of Calum & Hayden/Ajayi wld be a big gamble.
Ospina,Hector,Calum,Kosc,LeCoq-
Flamini,Diaby,Jack,Tomas-
Poldi,Joel.
Sub: Ajayi,Sczc,Hayden,Akpom,Zelalem,Gibbs,Oxld.
Bould on the subs bench looool .Afternoon all
We will have a mixed bag tonight.
Ospina
Gibbs hayden ajayi bellerin
diaby rosicky
Sanchez ox Campbell
Podolski
Subs: wilshere, Chambers, Akpom, Martinez, coquelin,Ramsey
Rico, define dodgy?
George,I think that team is a risk.We have spud and chelshit on †̥ђƺ door and we are using our best players for less important match.Ozil,kosser,mart,Gibbs,Rambo,JW10,alexie,welbeck,CC21 and WS01 shouldn’t be seen tonight not even on †̥ђƺ bench.
I will remove OX and alexie from your starting IX @ George
hi Rico and the house I would like us to rest as much first team players as we can…..don’t want anymore injuries time to give the youth some game time and see who Is ready for the step up….should be a good game diaby vs Morgan……..let’s hope he comes out injury free…..nice post between
Virus dodgy Bt…
Sukky I think we should rest Ox and sanchez, but i think the boss will start them or at least play them 45 mins….
Reason i left flamster out is because he plays his best game always vs the yids and could be vital vs chelsea
Something tells me Diaby wont make 45 mins
George/Round, I’m staying out of the guessing as it’s Wenger, who can guess what he’s going to do.. 😉
I read somewhere that Wenger reckons he’s got at least 10 players, yes 10 players who want to play in defence but he just can’t make up his mind who to play or where!
There’s talk of Cazorla and Bellerin playing CB! They can run through the oppositions legs and bite them en route!
Criminally short of defenders has to be the understatement of this season so far. We are bereft of any quality cover at the back. It’s dereliction of duty, sackable in most other forms of employments! But not at the Arsenal!
The starting eleven will be interesting, to say the least! Full or nearly full of first teamers shows intent, but it is risky from an injury point of view, or a second eleven that may well lose and then we will find ourselves overstocked with silver polish! Mix and match, we should win.
Hi snaparse, thanks..
Diaby v Morgan = only one winner…. Our Frenchman of course 😛
Is it up yet Rico?
No Bt, they went off to get some paving slabs about an hour ago… Grrrrr!
Builders dinner time…Rico
They took long enough over breakfast Bt!
At least they are there Rico :- I am waiting for a delivery of some racking , it should have been here yesterday , all I can get from the tracking number is that they are out for delivery today up to 9.30 tonight. I phoned YODEL the carrier and the company that dispatched them and can get no further information . If they turn up when the match is on they can bring them back tomorrow. 2 wasted days , not that they care, they have my money.
Rico, builders are a hungry lot….lol
Potter, sounds all to familiar…Hermes is another quality outfit.
Bunch of shed-heads rico !
Rico, Kev and myself, would have had it up by now, knocked back a few chilled ones and admired our good work…
Micko. King of The Kingdom, have you stopped yet?
Some session sunday Bt, had to take the day off yesterday, think I might have had an outer body experience at one point !
Just as suspected Micko…lol
Did you have a ticket for the game? Wasn’t on live up here for some reason.
I suppose that’s something Potter, but I fear they will depart without leaving an erected shed!
Interesting you say that about Yodel, the same thing happened to me, so much so the despatching company refunded my goods as it wouldn’t arrive in time because the products had gone walkies, then several days later, the items turned up….
I’d call them more than that Bt..
Hi Micko – you are nearer the mark… lol
I’m beginning to believe I’d have got it all done by now Bt. Mind you, I wouldn’t be able to walk again… 😉
Rico, between Kev and myself, we’d have started with one good back and ended with none, but the erection would have been finished..lol
🙂 Bt, perhaps I could have just supplied and poured the chilled ones?
Rico, ref streaming , have being using for years, keep security updated, never download anything, the one i use mainly seems to contain adware. Go to full screen seems to negate having to close down each one…Though checking out a box at the minute which gives all sport, at a yearly fee…Will keep you informed, if interested…
Bt, the ones I have used in the past have always ended up upsetting the laptop, really interested in one which is reliable, even if it costs money and would mean I could watch our 3pm’s and games like tonights, thanks…
No chance Bt, they were rarer than rocking horse shit !
It does make me laugh being linked to players in Jan when the transfer window has just shut, all the decent players will be cup tied, we’ll no doubt be linked to Khedira again he’ll end up going back home for free in the summer, don’t want him now anyway, it was this summer or never.
Rico, at the moment, i mainly stream through First Row Sport, Vip Box and Wiziwig…Though FRS has become really ad happy, Dortmund game on WW was good, when working, which was unusual for it..My mate’s son recently got a box of Amazon, £60 odd and i think £35 for the year, i’ll check it out with him..
Micko, i thought you were in the Know…..
Thanks Bt, do you have to download something to get WW?
I’m a bit troubled by Kev’s avatar! Especially when it has its tongue out, seemingly smacking its lips and saying, “is it up yet, Rico?”
It reminds me of dark wet nights and old men in dirty raincoats!
Lol
Rico, no i’ve never downloaded anything to my knowledge, just went to site, clicked on link and away you go, have you used the other 2 in the past?
Wavy where do you hangout at night? i’d be very worried….lol
AW:
“Yes [I will rotate],” Wenger continued. “I have a big squad and we will still have a team of experienced players, and we want to do well in this competition. I believe this is an opportunity to give a game to players who need it and we go into a period where we play, and play, and play, and we want to continue to win our games.”
Is he having a laugh?
Rico, Arsene loves a joke….
Think I have tried most Bt but if my memory serves me right, WW told me I had to download something, maybe Java or whatever it is…
Bt, and at our expense eh….
Rico, exactly isn’t always we who suffer… I’d be very weary if anything told me to download Java, a lot of fake exploit Java downloads, knocking about. Java in it’s own form, i’m led to believe is bad enough, though not to be confused with Java Script, which is a different thing.
It might have been media player Bt 😉
And yes, always the fans….
I got it, Flash Player 😛
Rico, does it come up in pop up form and have you been sucking strawberry liquorice ? lol
BT & me would have had it all done by now Rico.
A couple of beers and a bowl of soup (correct spoons of course) is all it would have taken
Nevermind about my tongue Mr Purple Mush… 🙂
Not sure about Mick being ‘In the Know’…
More like ‘In the Saloon’….
Best place to be as it goes…
OK, that’s me tea break over, a couple more jobs then mosey on down Liverpool Rd to find a parking space…
Some of the finest people you’ll ever meet originate from Liverpool Road.
COYFRRG
Sorry, had to go an do a bit of inspection and get everything back in the shed…
Bt – I just tells me I need to download Flash Player in order to view WW
Rico, have you tried it recently?
Kev, always thought Micko was a bit of cowboy….A very happy one after Sunday.
Not recently Bt, might try tonight….
Still waiting for the stuff , better have a good result to cheer me up.
That’s not so good….
Ospina , Bellerin , Chambers , Hayden , Coquelin, Rosicky , Diaby , Wilshere , Sanchez , Campbell , Podolski.
Chances to shine for some, strong enough ??????
Pretty strong squad…without Ramsey to duplicate things, this will be Wilshere’s chance to claim MOTM. Hope Diaby gets through 90 mins. With Schnederlin and Wayama…the 28-year old won’t get any favours.
Arsenal game http://cricfree.tv/bein-sport-1-live-stream.php Evening all
cricfree is easy rico. You are just pressing the wrong ‘X’. Look closer
Thanks Syg, but I don’t press any X’s lol
Syg.correct you need to watch the x’s…
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? I think there’s 3 x’s – two will kick other wensites up – the other will let you watch it in whatever language it is … Russian, Turkish or Iranian or something …. He mentions Wenger rather a lot …
website not wensite
Hmmm, so which x do i press?
Off hand Rico – the dead little one – top right….
Thanks Syg
Jesus Christ – defence all over place
Evening all, big match for a lot of our players. Now we know why Sanchez was dropped, save him for tonight! Our midfield going to be in a tough battle tonight. If Diaby gets through this well, could be very useful. I have my doubts against Shned but let’s hope for best.
Already syg, doesn’t bode well?
Iv’e given up on the stream…
Any updates would be appreciated, but I know you are watching, so understand if none until h/t
Morning, afternoon, evening all.
I have no bloody idea what time it is hahaha
In Hawaii, it’s 9am.
Sounds a great free kick!
Sanchezzzzzz
Hope this helps.
http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=281213&part=sports
Listen on five live Rico?
Alexis 😛
I’m on Arsenal player now Andrew, thanks – didn’t realise it was on on 5live…
Bugger 1-1
Go to wiziwig go to the match find one with flash player and press live. It will say play download but ignore that and find the tiny x in a little box in the square not the normal one . do this for a few adverts and you will get a half screen of the match
Potter, I am hopeless on computers, I can’t even find the game…
Is Diaby playing?
Bollox!!
What was I saying about Clyne in the summer… 😉
Michael Oliver is the ref for the NLD….
Why am I in moderation Rico?
Have I been a naughty boy??
difficult game.
Cline is good rico
Rico,…….Patsy hit a corker
Kev, with your back…lol
Sorry Kev… 🙁
Like Hayden, he looks very comfortable on the ball…
Bellerin lacks a bit of strength but he never gives up, I like him.
Diaby started really well ax did Wilshere, but maybe Southampton made a tactical change, as their influence seemed to fade.
Schneiderlin is a dirty shit.
I know JM…
Bt, Winterburn said Ospina should have saved it…
Wanyama too Kev?
Rico, it did move towards the end, did give him a bit to aim at..
BT, my back is a constant problem, I need a pair of Micks, Foster Grants. 🙂
Kev, i feel your pain mate……
That’s what Winterburn said Bt. You could be a pundit…. lol
Me too Kev, I have a hot water bottle on mine right now…. 🙁
COYRRG’S
We are not well in the game
Schneiderling is dirty shit???
We are always very expose!
Why we not shoot outside area?
Podolsky much play and appear much more !
Poldi needs moved on.
Think we are going out……
Not surprising. Strong saints team. Annoyed Akpom didn’t get a proper run.
Disappointed to say the least….
Best chance of a trophy but too thin a defence
and we are out.
The first one.
We were very predictable, expose and nervous with the score.
however, there are players, that the deadline were arrived very quickly and we must think that what we were doing for instance, not will come more, One of them is Rosicky. He is not the machine that was.
Think about it, but the speed of execution is no longer the same.
Rico, no bottle for me, something more organic me thinks….
It was on the cards , not a night for experimentation with the way they approached it . They are near the top but realistically they know their chances of winning the league are slim so they are concentrating on the cups . Can’t blame them if I were them I would do the same . By resting our first team we gave them the opportunity to use their strength to just hold us off.
Bellerin and Hayden looked good but I think it’s time for Coquelin to go gracefully as for the Diaby I thought he wanted to stroll through the game but Wanyama and Schneiderlin wouldn’t let him. Podolski like Rosicky looked stale , they both need games and now that we are out of this they will not get them.
How was Hayden?
JM, didn’t see the game so no comment from me…
Bt, I need more than a bottle.. lol
I’m off guys, been a long one…
At least I have a new shed, poor Potter is still waiting for Yodel to deliver..
A bit like us with Arsene Wenger really…
Night all…
Night Rico, i’ll have the info on the box 2morrow,
Impressed with Hayden. Got the same attribute as Calum. He is calm, composed and intelligent. Diaby our new DM? He was impressive as well. Bellerin looks great. Just gutted that Akpom wasn’t picked from the start.
We played 10 v 11. Has anyone found Podolski?
Potter, I think Rosicky would get more games if he gave up the international scene…
Gone now…
Podolsky is there but where? He never be where the ball is and never be “on the horizon” of the player who has the ball
Evening rico and all,
I think Rosisky had the worst game in arsenal shirt.. He definitely
looked out of sort and conceded unnecessary penalty.
Poldsky squandered the only chance he had and then disappeared into oblivion..
Sanchez great free kick, but that all..
Midfield of Wilshere and Diaby did ok I think except they should have closed down Clyde superb goal..
Defensively Arsenal didn’t have to do much imo..
I thought Campbell was excellent and needed a better movement in front of him..
Ox was magnificent when he came on..
To me Arsene should have substituted the ineffective poldi and the out of for Rosisky.. But I guess he was the captain and was too big a call for Wenger to make..
Le coq did ok as made shift left back.. Miles better than monreal imo..
I love that match….so much that A̶̲̥̅♍ smiling as A̶̲̥̅♍ typing right now.Diaby is classy,calm and very intelligent.If he can remain fit,he will displace arteta without a sweat.I love Isaac,he’s compose and calm.Bellerin is great too while campell is electrifying.Poldoski was a passager,he just keep watching.Rosicky need games to be back.Ospina is okay as back up.Le coq is good as ever(lol)
I’m hurt with this loss!
Can’t sleep !
We all asked what the 3% was for , well here we have it .
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/23/stan-kroenke-arsenal-dividend-fans-anger
Lol,you can’t sleep?A̶̲̥̅♍ happy we lost
Clyne = Danny Rose = same result!
Shame we probably won’t see much more of Hayden, Campbell, Bellerin, Akpom, Podolski, Rosicky, Ospina, etc. when will they get any game time now?
Not sorry that the
Eagle cup will not be cleaned with our shiver Polish, a small but significant saving. More money to spend on a new defender or two, maybe?
Agree with Judge, easily the worst performance I’ve seen from Rosicky.
I know it was his first game of the season in the 1st team.
But I was still expecting more from him.
In fact it was the first start for seven of our starting XI, a risk that showed how little Wrnger thinks of this competition…
Now it’s the FACup or bugger all for us this season…
Yeah Potter, I read that….disgraceful behaviour IMHO!
At least we know where we stand!
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger remained firm on his decision to field an inexperience defence, but revealed that his injury struck back-line finally took its toll on the squad following his side’s 2-1 lost against Southampton in the Capital One Cup, Skysports.
The loss saw the Gunners get knocked out of the domestic competition for the first time in 12 years as an on-form Saints squad registered there first ever win at the Emirates.
Wenger refrained from blaming his defenders as he believes his opponents were the better side and deserved their win.
“It’s disappointing because we had a good start and we made two unneeded errors on the two goals – and big ones,” he said.
“We lacked a bit of experience at the back, but overall they did well. We gave a lot and it’s frustrating not to be able to score in the second half.
“When you look at the amount of possession we had, we have to give credit to Southampton, they played well and were well organised.
“They abused a bit the fouls in the middle of the park, but they are a good side and they played well tonight. Overall it is frustrating because we gave a lot.”
The French boss decided to field Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers, Issac Hayden, and Francis Coquelin in the back four, in order to allow his first-team players to get back to full fitness.
“We are a bit short, yes, because of the injuries we have,” Wenger added.
“You sit there and think: (Kieran) Gibbs had a little hamstring problem and we could not play him, (Per) Mertesacker is a bit on the edge, and then we have no choice.
“I think if we lost the game tonight, it’s not because of Hayden, not because of Chambers and not because of Coquelin. You have to be realistic.”
I wish Kroenke would up and off!
I thought we were short in defence because Wenger failed to sign a defender, silly me eh…!
Morning Lee and all….
Beggar’s belief….
Morning Rico and all…..
It does Lee. So early in the season and we are threadbare at the back and all because of a rubbish transfer window.
With so much money sitting in the back, things could have been so much different..
Still, Stan’s happy with his little £3 million…
Syphoning……….
Morning all. Not that bothered about last nights result. We haven’t got the squad to compete on all fronts, we all know who’s fault that is. Now our squad gets a rest when the Carling cup(or whatever it’s called) come round.
First of how much to come I wonder…
Trouble is Lewis, that was possibly the one we are best equipped to win… lol
Morning Rico and all. I never saw the game but am not surprised at the result. Whenever I hear a Wenger press conference these days and hear him going on about the enormous amount of players he has to pick from, I know we must be short handed. He is the master of deception, or so he thinks, but the fact is that he has come up short when it comes to equipping the squad adequately for the 4, make that 3, competitions we are supposed to win and that surely must be one of the main parts of his job description. I see he reckons he has bought Chambers as a right back and will use him to replace Debuchy? Who did he buy to replace Vermaelen or recently departed captain? Am I wrong in believing that I heard him say that, should TV go, he would replace him?
Still, the Happy Clappers will be along soon to prove me wrong with their heat signature stats.
Scott, sorry I missed you coming on last night, thanks for the link and hope you are having a fab time..
Morning Adam.
Just what I said in the post re Chambers/Vermaelen. Disgraceful!!
And he reckons he has a big squad, what a joke!
Stan may have pocketed only £3million, but that’s only the beginning…
He was hoping that only a small amount would escape notice, but that greedy bastard will be back for more…
A parasite is just that, a parasite…
Morning All,
I remember when tommy went,being told on here from one of the regulars that it was good business for the club,can your believe that,
would love that one explained to me.
Other than that we got a chance to see Issac,love this lad,
him and jack front up the oppisition….Arsenal Boys.
Just not enough of them yet.
Thought all the second tier lads done well…………………..
Poldoski and little tommy lacked fitness.
Morning all
But there was a time when he could send out the second eleven and we would have won 6-2!
So where have all the players gone? Where are the crop of talented youngsters itching to play first team football? Where has the Arsenal mojo gone?
Gone to Kronke, every one, or rather another 3m extorted from the club we love! Gone to Texas all of it! When will we ever learn? Not until the yanks we spurn. When will we ever learn?
To the tune of Peter, Paul and. Mary’s famous song gone with the wind.
I wonder what Wenger has to say on the matter?
He sets himself up as an economical genius, saving the club money so that it is in a good state when he eventually leaves. Well there ya you twat, Syrup just helped himself to £3m, what do you have to say?
“I did no zee it”…..
Well said Kev…
Fred, how did Hayden play? Is he ready to make the step up yet?
Wavy, the answer my friend, is blowing in the wind.
The answer is blowing in the wind.
Morning All btw.
I remember that song Wavy….
Kev, I bet Wenger says nothing about the money Kroenke has taken, but then I bet no-one asks him about it…
Morning to you Fred and Wavy by the way…. 😉
The best way to rate a player rico is consistency,at his level and thats very good,
The top football finds players out…so not sure yet.
Look at Chambers the boys amazing.
Hayden is the real deal Rico, morning btw, he’s big, strong, puts his foot in, at one point he surged forward, a couple of Southampton players bounced off of him, and instead of looking for another infernal pass, he actually had a shot…
As Fred so pointedly said, an Arsenal lad who ‘feels it’ like the fans.
I’d be happy to see him playing more regularity and it may explain Wenger’s inertia in signing a replacement for Verm.
Not signing
Wenger takes 8million a year……………………Every year.
Worth every penny in my book! I’d give Wenger a Morecombe & Wise if it were up to me…… did you see his heat map whilst aboard Dein’s gin palace off of the cote d’azur? Unfucking believable……
He was playing Ozil on the starboard side to start with, then the port side…..travesty!
Thanks Kev/Fred.
I really like Hayden, and really hope he’s given his chance and I suspect it won’t be long before he gets it. One injury to Merts or Kos and he’s got to be in surely…
Chambers and Hayden as are next central defensive pairing sounds good…
With the defence being so thin, it really is time to priortise we have 14 PL fixtures until the January Tw opens. Imo mert kos gibbs should only be played in these.
Forget the champions league fixtures, zero chance of winning it, no depth to compete in it….
Last night’s result disappointing yes, surprising no.
Lee……Bring me sunshine.
It’s not like this shit has happened before is it Fred?
Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter all the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
All the joy can give
Te each brand new bright tomorrow
Make me happy through the years
Never bring me any tears
Let your arms be as warm
As the sun from up above
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love
Bring me sunshine in your eye
Bring me a rainbow from the sky
Life’s too short to be spent having anything but fun
We can be so content if we gather little rainbows
Make me happy all the long
And I’ll keep singing my happy songs
Let your arms be as warm
As the sun from up above
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love
Make me happy all long
And I’ll keep on singing my happy songs
Let your arms be as warm
As the sun from up above
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love
‘Show me the way to go home’ is the song for Kroenke, and Wenger….
The season ticket holders,the fans that go every game,the fans that have been taken to games and now take(family) to games,and the fans that just cant give up the ticket.
Thats what stans banking on.Lee
The sceptic has them (fans) over a barrel……….. the sooner he fucks off the better!
New post up now…
Amen to that Lee.
