Morning All,
Another day yet again of names of players linked, Agents comments, newspaper “exclusives” and of course the great “twitter” in the know comments from in the know nobodies…..!
What are we to think and believe..?
Well we’re now told Arsene has personally spoken to Spain’s number one keeper Iker Casillas to tell him how great he is and to obviously tell him that we think he’s a great keeper despite his nightmare world cup. In all honesty it’s the kind of thing that we want the manager doing if he has identified a target and the deal is close, the manager is there to persuade players to join us, to tell them his vision and maybe of other targets we are looking at buying to strengthen the side. If I am honest Casillas to me looks like a keeper who needs a new challenge and a new environment, he has gone stale at Mardid, i think if we are all honest we’d all admit that Casillas was a brilliant keeper, you don’t just lose that. Is Jose responsible for him loosing his confidence ? Was being dropped so terrible that he’s questioned his own ability, Arsene has in the past been very good at getting the best from players who looked short of confidence and players who at previous clubs had struggled. It could be a good buy, lets see how that one pans out.
Depending on what papers you read or what website or twitter account the players linked with us could fill a book, The usual subjects are filling the back pages of the papers and there are of course agent comments which can be read in two ways, firstly the agent wants his client to leave the club they currently play for or in most cases the agent is stirring the pot just to get his client a new and improved deal with the club they are currently at due to the fact his client is so “wanted”.
Then of course you get the chairman or presidents of clubs getting involved by stating no offers have been received for player “X”….. If an offer had been received he isn’t for sale…. That’s the club saying publicly they are for sale but anyone who is interested better make a huge offer.
We all know it’s smoke and mirrors this time of the year and as fans we want to know that Arsenal are looking at star players and even more importantly than a star name that we’re looking at buying quality players. We invest our time and feelings in getting excited by certain stories and we’re upset when player “A” signs for a team and it looks as if we have lost out but reality is were we ever interested in player “A” in the first place. The media write stories that we have missed out on this player and that player yet reality is 99% of these players named were never ever wanted by us, it sells papers and gets internet hits to make it up though.
We have all said this is a huge transfer window for the club and many still think we will fail yet again, we have a team in place to buy players that are just not streetwise and savvy enough to close deals, they are stubborn and set in their ways yet we bought Ozil, we’re told those negotiations went on for months, Maybe just maybe the club at the very top have realised how they need to act, lets hope so and lets hope we manage to sign up two or three of these quality players we are linked with.
Also a very happy July 4th to those on the other side of the pond…!
Have a good day…………
Morning you lot…..
Just one or two signing 4 arsenal
Morning all,
Good post mate.
It all comes down to “i’ll believe it when it’s on the Arsenal website and the player is wearing the Arsenal shirt”
The difference between AW and ‘Hose’ is this…
https://twitter.com/SophieMourinho/status/483286493600182272
Good post Wath btw…
Hi Nickie
You only think 1 or 2 signings winner… I hope your wrong because if your right then that’s not enough…!
morning to you wath….was just saying on the other post what a brilliant work you have done this past few days cheers to u…….like you I believe the manager should always try as much as possible to sell the dream to our targets as it is not all the players that move clubs for money alone
What a load of tosh by that poster of the tweet.
Jose a humanitarian??
Quiet today!
What’s in store for today then? More speculation and no action…just as I thought.
I don’t want to be negative but it just feels like one long transfer window, spanning about 15 years, when ur a gooner.
Bored bored bored
Always the same Nickie, when a player on the pitch posing with the shirt then it’s a done deal…!
As I was saying on the previous page Campbell a freebie and Pires an OM failure were signed about now 13 years ago…
It’s always been the AFC way… I am not saying I agree with the approach but…
Times change Ts………..
Tom Cobley anyone?
Morning all.
I’ve heard he’s shite!
Manchester United: Luke Shaw + Ander Herrera = £64 million Chelsea: Cesc Fabregas + Diego Costa = £60 million
Yanited after S and Vidal too at £70M…
Barca to confirm £80M signing of LS07 soon…
So how is it that Barca weren’t allowed to sign players and LS07 is banned from participating in football related matters but a deal is apparently on? the only issue left now is the Partnership agreement between Liverpool & Barca.
Thanx Snap, the posts are just a load of healines from the media thrown together in a mish mash….!
I agree the manager is there to sell the club and the vision to players we looking to buy, he not there to do the actual deals or the negotiating…! That’s what’s been wrong since DD left or since he was frog marched off the premises lol
Hopefully the Suarez transfer is completed soon and it causes a domino effect. This window needs to start hotting up, it’s all very dull when there is no football on.
Hi Ts, how concrete do you think these Khedira rumours are?
After the season had finished Wenger said he looks to add 2 or 3 players. We needed 2-3 player just to replace the ones leaving Sagna, Fab and possibly another CB. I really hope it’s another 2-3 on top of necessary replacements
hi ts does the Suarez ban also affect the Spanish league??
Woody, it’s the first week in July, relax…! lol
Ts, other players have been bought yes but hand on heart I am not upset about any of them having not joined us…! there are a cluster of players I like and when one of those joins a rival I shall be really pissed off but as yet i’m fine with the other transfers that are going on.
Hi Snap, your prediction for tonight?
As I said from day 1 quarter finals for Les Bleus…
Its a shame FIFA want Brazil to win the WC…
I expect bad officiating against Colombia my other latino team tonight…
I might have to change my profile photo from Valderama to James… lol
What’s the betting after the WC is over and the hype quietens down Barca get the Suarez ban reduced….! Watch this space…!
Lol Spot on Wath… same here
I won’t have minded Shaw but at £17m max including add-ons.
Snap, the UNFC will wiggle out of the LS07 ban I am certain…
true wath but is the CEO really the type that can complete deals?? if so why isn’t he doing it already anyways it all a bit complicated so………
I would def change that pic Ts, you with woolly ginger hair really don’t look good…!
Snap, I think they are busy behind the scenes and these things take time due to so many people involved and so many looking to get as much out of deals for themselves as well.
Nickie, I don’t know of Khedira rumours honest…
The only rumours I heard about were Balo/S and debuchy..
you remember me saying we will buy him when you said he was a bit old in early June?
Morgan AW is definitely interested in but fee will be telling due to our policy of not paying certain amounts for certain positions. Southmapton and Goonie’s friend R. Keowman are going for Witsel ,that means they would have 3 solid DM’s…
ts if true re the Suarez ban then it proved what will all know that uefa/FIFA is a group of corrupt thugs ruing the game
Nature and Arsenal blogs abhor a vacuum.
😀 Wath… there was me thinking it was blond; I got to have my eyes tested….
Micko sort me out with one of your dodgy spec savers vouchers please. 😉
ts I expect us to put on a good show and make it difficult for Germany….heard cabaye has been tasked to keep an eye on ozil…pogba needs to be disciplined today….if we play well and limit the Germans use of the middle I can see us nicking it 2;1 Lol I hope……on the other one I’m definitely supporting James have been a keen follower since his Porto days….was really impressed when he player against my boy hood team(st Etienne )let’s hope the ref doesn’t screw them over
I don’t like vacuum cleaners either Adam……
wath finger crossed all their efforts are rewarded
If I was Deschamp I will go with Morgan, Cabaye holding with Valbeuna behind Benzema…
Matuidi neeeds to sit this out..
Cabella could cause Howedes loads of problems this evening.
I think Leow will move Lahm back to RB to keep an eye on Evra and Greizmann; Khedira will start in CM
Wath. I thought not. 🙂
no way is matuidi sitting it out ts…….he is our most important player in midfield……I’d rather pogba sits out this than blaise IMO
Saints want more than £20m for Lovren? lol
I’d probably go
—-Schnid — Cabaye —–
———-Pogba———–
Val——-Benz——–Griez
You are right Snap… Matuidi ahead of Pogba … Matuidi plays box to box much much better…
But I think Deschamp will fear if he loses leaving Pogba out… he is the Wooney of your squad…
You know the Les bleus better so… your view will be valued.
apparently kos won’t be starting today I really don’t like sakho against intelligent players….don’t mind him against the physical ones though
pogba is extremely talented and will become a top player but hr is not the finished article yet and playing against seasoned professionals in kross schweini lahm and ozil you might just want the safer option IMO
Lol Deschamp likes Sakho though…
I think Pogba is a tad over rated; but still a quality player…
Listing to Talk Sports experts raving about him makes me laugh… those same guys were saying Fergie was right to let him leave Yanited.
For Juve I believe Vidal and Pirlo carry Pogba’s bad decisions loads of times…
If he was in this league he won’t be as confident or over rated imho…
Nickie, I doubt Morgan will start.
Listening*
I think maybe Deschamp thinks/believes Varane and Kos are too similar like TV and Kosser that is why he prefers the Sakho/Varane partnership.
varane is more calm and more assured on the ball…..sakho is really like kos but more brutal and less assured on the ball plus his positioning is not really that maybe I am been biased as I don’t really rate him or I like kos but…..
I’m happy if Kos don’t play, less chance of getting injured…. Least we have 2 or 3 players leavings for home today…! Sooner the better with my selfish Arsenal hat on…!
Wath. This WC thing seems to be going on forever.
true Wath, Adam
Funnt Adam as I was thinking that it’s been a welcome distraction but am now at the phase where I just want it over and done with, games have for the most part been really good but bored with it now…. Preseason starts and I just want Arsenal stuff now…!
Lol….u selfish lot I’m enjoying the world cup but i will also be happy if arsenal players come back fresh….was watching a few highlight of wild here during his break through season and I most say I think if he focus and stop believing the hype he will be a very good player I know I haven’t really been his big fan but I’m expecting him to have a big season….same as gnabry
the knockout stages have been poor with last minute wins for the bigger teams/nations…
maybe time for extra time to be dropped by fifa…
snap- ‘ highlight of wild here ‘?
Wilshere? lol maybe
The real difference between Wenger and MaureenHoe: https://twitter.com/KieranCPhoto/status/483290594476056576/photo/1
Spot on Bondex……! As much as Wenger pisses me off i still respect the man and he is class…!
Aurier is gone… Debuchy is our next right back.
Fuerza Colombia!
Allez les Bleues!
Good read.we just have to wait for official news because all these rumours are doing my head in.In other news how desperate are Liverpool?..
Liverpool Echo @LivEchoLFC · 1h
We want you to help us convince Alexis Sanchez
that he’s better off at #LFC than #AFC – send us
the reasons why using #joinLFC
🙂 🙂
Good one Bondex. lol
kt… 😀
@LivEchoLFC Have you tried dressing Flanagan in Suarez’s shirt and praying that Sanchez is 95% blind?
They very desperate Kt they always have been hence they like looking in bins……….. enough said…!
So Rico, what are we going to do with Theo’s contract as he now has only 2 years left on his contract? 🙂
By the time he comes back to full fitness he will have 18 months left and the media will slate AW for not extending hsi contract earlier…
ts Liverpool fans are a truly delusional bunch.some of the gems i’ve read are absolute belters.will try to post some.
Wath i reckon S loves cycling and he doesn’t want his bicycle knicked in Liverpool 😉
@livpooecho…… Tell Sanchez it’s only of matter of time before you win the league again because it’s only been 24yrs so law of averages says………
It won’t just be his bicycle mate lol
🙂 🙂 wath.
Good Afternoon the House
Another signing for the youth team.
The Finnish u16 international Hugo Keto has just joined us
Where did this one come from, Jonker.
Something that I haven´t seen said is –
Barcelona are a side on the decline. In
contrast we are a side on the up. To
jump ship from us to go there at the
moment could be your very own Michael
Owen moment Mr Suárez. In fairness to
Mr Owen, there was absolutely no
indicators that Liverpool would win the
Champions League while he kept
Jonathan Woodgate company in Madrid.
This time though…. there are some
warning signs Mr Suárez.
Sure Luis Enrique, Barca legend, might
turn that right around. Although Valdes,
Puyol and Fabregas have already gone.
Xavi, Sanchez, Mascherano & Dani Alvez
rumoured to be joining them. Sounds like
a team in transition that Mr Suárez. Do
you see them surpasing a pretty settled
Real Madrid? Do you see them winning
the Champions League next year? You
are 27 now… at what age do you want
to start winning major club honours
outside of Holland? Liverpool are
showing signs that with you in their
team, that could be as early as May
2015. Barca – – – not so much.
🙂 🙂
lol… Kt that made me laugh
Who do you think will be more pleased with Jaws leaving Liverpool to Barca?
Norwich fans who have conceded 13 to 15 goals from LS07 alone or Barca fans who need a defender but are getting another striker who won’t probably get on with Messi?
Hi Rick… what position will the youngster play?
My bad Ginge He is a goal keeper
It gets funnier lads…on Alexis allegedly rejecting them…
We are in the Champions League and
arguably the greatest club in the history
of football…I for once cannot understand
his reluctance to join us…
It would be comedy gold if we were to sign Alexis and Suarez joins Barca and his ban gets dropped/reduced 🙂
Thanks Rick…
How is it that Suarez has now been banned for a near total of 34 games but still yet to receive a red card?
Brendan Rodgers, for his part, can offer
guaranteed Champions League football – Arsenal
must play a qualifier in August – and the promise
of Suarez’s soon-to-be-vacant, iconic No 7
jersey.
🙂 🙂
Rick, will Keto play for u-18 or u-16’s?
Unreal from joe cole…
Cole believes the mentality at Liverpool
made it difficult for him to settle in,
with their insistence on being known as
the “biggest club in the country”
catching him off guard.
“When I joined, the guy interviewing me
said ‘you’ve joined the biggest club in
the country’ and reeled off the trophies
they’d won,” he said. “I just said ‘yeah,
if you put it like that, I suppose you’re
right’ and Liverpool used that as the
headline to the interview.
“I didn’t want to upset anyone so I just
went along with it. But obviously they’re
not the biggest club in the country any
more. How do you judge how big a club
are? Nottingham Forest won the
European Cup twice but they’re not a
bigger club than Chelsea.”
Hey Rick, how you doing……!
Ts to answer your 2:27 it’s because he’s a complete and utter f’kin lunatic…..
Afternoon all, the rumors are interesting reading them even when I know some are just lies, why would AW buy Schneiderlin and Khedira its just rubbish meanwhile the S news keeps getting me excited
Phil Thompson and Hansen will ‘kill’ J Cole next season for that comment.lol
Its unreal isn’t it Wath..
Luznic… you have forgotten about Vidal too… lol
Fred, I missed your comment yesterday, and yes it’s great to exact some pay-back on West Ham…
I think the lad comes from Kent…
Arsenal really need to get their arse in gear and start scouting Essex again… 😉
Afternoon All
Afternoon Wath, good post mate…
A Finnish goalkeeper Rick, not sure what to think about that…
But as you say, Jonker’s influence maybe?
“Sit Alexis down
with Brendan for 5 minutes, then he’ll be begging
for a contract”
🙂 🙂
yea Ginge the Vidal link to me is laughable as Arsene will see him and Ramsey as same type of player plus we might not sign Schneiderlin and Khedira as Diaby is like a new signing we will sign S though the only people I fear are the oilers they may bring some crazy cash and trust Barca they are not honorable
I’m not so excited about any of the news ,that’s why im preparing my mind for campbell as the next big thing 3 other unknown players that AW will dig up from the french league.
Ashley Williams extends his contract at Swansea….
And it’s a ‘Blow to Arsenal’…!!!
Really? How come????
We’re we in for him?
Would he have signed for Swansea if we were in for him?
Is he really that good anyway??
Usual pile of shite from the Press…
I suppose in their tiny world, it was a ‘Blow’ when Bendtner left….
Fcuking morons….
Luznic Barca are truly not honourable… lol
lol Kev
Predictions for tonight’s games?
lol Kev, I thought that too. Talksport nonsense
Colombia and Germany to win…
Sorry Snap. lol
Kev, the press won’t stop amazing me … they will soon announce that Arsenal has just suffered a BIG BLOW in not signing me too.
really not enjoying seeing “man U to hijack bid”, “Man city now enter race, Pellengrini wants him”
I would love to see Colombia win, but FIFA will be in the ear of the referee and Fred will be doing his dying swan impressions if it gets tight…
Bondex, is your agent on Twitter? 😉
Laters
I wonder if the “flu” bug in the German camp is gonna have an affect on fitness…?
Suppose we’ll see in a few hours…!
Not bothered between Fra v Ger BUT i so want Brazil getting knocked out…!
you know fifa so well Kev… lol
Fifa won’t want any Brazillians lynching the delegates if Colombia win… lol
Ashley williams ?? I would rather have Djourou, the press just digs up something either to spite the Arsenal fans or to just get something to write about, how do they consider how good a job they do when all they do is tell lies
Wath, the DGSE out smarted the BND with the flu virus… lol
i feel for the Germans, in this heat, early kick off plus the virus going around.
I feel a thirst coming on……………
Afternoon all, Keto had a trail at Afc in April and trained at Lfc, spent part of his life in England.
Giriud e Mets out of the teams.
Allez les Bleues!!!
yestrday, Huntelaar.. today? none linking to us?
Boo! WATH, you’ve been deputizing well, I must say. 🙂 Lady Boss will be happy. I marvel everyday that rico (and everyone else who writes here) is able to come up with talking points. 🙂
Rumors of “imminent” signings are coming thick and fast. Alas, they have been “imminent” for ages now. And we have yet to unveil a marquee signing. 😀
I love these twitter stories. 🙂 The agent of “S” has “followed” AFC and some AFC players; now we know that “S” really is coming over! Lol.
I was all set to cheer on France but having seen the line-up, I’m not so sure, now. I want to see our boys in there!
Hummmmellllllssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!
Pogba not contributing anything so far. Benzema looking lazy. Evra getting so much grief down his flank. Tsk.
good game so far……Germany exploiting matiudi’s limitation on the ball…they are man marking cabaye
GER 1-2 FRA, BRA1-2 COL, NETH 3-1 COSand BEL 0-2 ARG Bold predictions 😉 you heard first
STV, hey, France can still win this. Just overrun at midfield now.
Snap, I think France should just go for speed. Germany look about ready to collapse anytime someone runs at the goal.
And man, the Germans are flopping…
yes AGAG but nerves might get them. Germany is not convincing..
Me rooting for the dutch as always they were amazing and ruthless so far
Stv,some bold prediction mate…lol
Hi Agag…Benzema doing what he does best f all until he scores.lol
Imagine carrying Benzema,Ozil,Poldi,SC19 against Chelsea? 6 vs 10 comes to mind
Snap/Agag as we discussed earlier,time to drop Pogba for Morgan.
Cabaye and Matuidi will over run Khedira who is not much fit.
I have £5 on France to win…
Ruthless at diving, too, STV. Haha. After v Persie, I just cannot bring myself to cheer on the Dutch. 😛
true aggag…..but that is as much pace as we have as possible I will argue putting sissoko on
yes 😉 VP 🙂 He is an a…o.. but good for Holland in some games tho Huntilaar not getting chance cause of him. 🙂
Germany just have to win, they are my tournament favourites, Germany will win this 2-0, I love watching penalties though so I won’t mind a German penalty triumph
true ts but the Germans are marking cabaye out and pogba is the only one in midfield goof enough on the ball and can carry upfield too
Haha, ginge. Benzema needs to be more clinical in front of goal. He is either wasting Griezmann’s crosses or playing offside. Germany have been hardly dominant. Terrible mistake by Varane.
I never thought loew lose tactical enough to use Kroos instead of Ozil to mark out Cabaye- Snap
The BBC commentator Lawrence is such an idiot…
France does’nt look serious in front of goal
Yes, snap. Sissoko on. And can’t Deschamps get Evra out?? Useless.
Forget about a DM get me Kroos!he is now the best or complete midfielder for me…
Remy for Benzema.
Kroos is class. Ozil very much upstaged.
Agag do you remember me asking on here if after wc AFC fans would prefer a swap with BM for Ozil?
Ginge, nope. And NO!! I would rather keep our Little wizard of Oz. he will find his magic again.
debuchy maybe better going forward but defensively he can’t lace Sagna’s boots imo
He can.. Sagna is slightly better though
Sakho is shite!
Ozil is class agag.to me its all about peoples expectations.
People will define him as a £42m player but its not his fault Bale inflated the market.
Really, Ginge? You think so? Cause Sagna has been good this season, but has been average the previous two.
I do.Debuchy was a winger before.
Sagna had 2 injuries so U can expect that…
Sakho is shit agree he is still riding on that 2 goal he scored against Ukraine. The game lack spark
With Debuchy coming we need a very good dm to cover for defensive frailties
Debuchy?
benzeama as always never turns up…now we really miss ribery….ts leow surprised me too cabaye off…..cmon Remy……have always loved kross as my best German player
Sagna was not getting any better 🙁 imho both parties needed to move on.. He served us well when he was here.
BBC slating Ozil again!
Clueless they are!
come on OG12 make me proud
yes debuchy not best defensive rb in the world could get caught on counter meret lacks bit speed so a dm some one like dejong/krooz would help
Injuries aside, and I am a Sagna fan, I never felt like his game improved, ginge. Certainly, his crossing never did. 😀
True Stv re 6:41
To me Benzema always bottles it when it matters.will I pay £30m expecting him to take us further?Never
benzema a giroud with 20% better scoring !!
People talk about but DM but Schweinsteiger was a winger 5 years ago…
Football brains…
Hummels has been sensational
Come on Giroud. come on Kos.
Hummels had a torrid last season though, ginge. Been good at the WC though.
Lawrence says Kroos not good enough! Lmfao
And he gets paid for such opinion.He might have played the game but he is clueless.
He rates Pogba more than Kroos.lol
Agag/stv I wanted Sagna for CB role.
wtf Neuer !! France gone ,..
I lost a £5er…lol
That is why I don’t bet.lol
Lawro is just stupid.
Krauts advance.
Froggies out.
Goooooooodddddd
That would mean more players returning home early. More time to rest.
Dedchamp selection wrong.
loew read Hh and played lahm at rb and brought in Sami. 🙂
Riberry definitely missed.Cabella should have played to trouble Howedes.
Agag ditto re Hummels
Valbuena tried so so hard. 🙁
Hi Dev
I was told today frog legs taste like chicken leg.lol
He should’nt have Kos replaced with that shit sakho.. am dreaming Ger Neth final it would be awesome
When Boateng is made to look like a rock, you know Deschamps has lined up his team wrong, hahaha. I don’t rate Boateng at all.
Sakho was woeful today. just woeful. And Benzema was overall a disappointment.
lol Agag- he is half Ghanaian so you cant slate boateng too much.. 🙂
Apart from that he shows you don’t have to be a world class player to play for a top team.. Scott will agree with that. 🙂
Agag- that is why when players are rated on goals alone things go wrong even though goals are stats too… lol
After all that Benzema vs OG12 stats since 2005
Benzema 108 goals from 211 appearances whilst OG12 has 106 from 218 appearances…
One has played for Montpellier whilst the otehr has played for lyon and RM… just saying. 😉
STV, I’ll remind you of your predictions, okay? Bookmarking this page. Haha.
If Giroud had missed the chances Benzema did today, you can be sure the media would be all over the him.
Sorry, ginge. You know BM are next on my hate list after Barcelona. Lol.
You don’t need to convince me Ginge. I never really liked him. He is stroppy.
Lol Agag- I didn’t know that re BM; Is it because of Muller and Robben.. .the synchronized divers?
Afternoon guys wanted France to win so bad. Now only germane stands between us and world cup glory. God help us.
lol Goonie… JC will drive one to the top corner tomorrow.
How are you and a happy 4th of July to you Yank! 🙂
Germany. Germany. Germany.
U ok Goonie??? 😛
Jc who’s that? Don’t know him….Am fine DG can’t wait for the big game. Fired up
… and Schweinsteiger, and Thiago (Barca DNA included), and cherrypicking at BvB, and Pep… I also thought Lahm was an ass when they played us; plus for some reason, there is a smugness to Neuer which gets on my nerves.
now mates…..why do you slate Deschamps for picking a mug instead of Kozzer?
He did us a favour……..by benching him and thus loose the game. That means Kozzer and Giroud plus maybe Remy and Debouchy will be early at the EMS. Getting more rest.
So come on mates………….
Three cheers for Deschamps.
Allez Les Bleus then, Dev. 🙂 You got that part, right. Well, I hope Poldi, Merts, and Ozil never play another minute in this WC. Maybe, it’s their turn to have the flu. 🙂
goonie, it’s Joel Campbell, how could you forget?? I thought Arsenal over the Oranje?? 😛
Dream on DG we ll only sign kalou 😀
Howdy agag arsenal over oranje any day.
Cynical Dev… 🙂
Agag- your hate list is longer than mine then… 😉
As someone who has supporter BVB 09 for nearly 20 years; I have surrendered to the dominance of Fc Bavaria whilst we had to sell our best players from Sammer to the lil Mozart to make ends meet.
4 to 5 years ago when we won the title 3 times in a row it felt good and but
Saying that I have some respect for the likes of Matthias and co as great footballers.
Imagine locking Neuer and Scez in a room alone… their egos will be box office material… lol
supported*
I didn’t realise Pearce has gotten him self another managerial job at Forest. lol
Yes agag 😉 1 gone 3 let 🙂
Hey goonster my man,still around ??
Hahahahahah stv of course am still around. It takes more than WATH’s stinking breath to get rid of me. How have you been my man? What happened?
I tend to haaate teams that beat us, ginge. 😀 I was never a gracious loser. KT is a BvB fan, like you; I’m rather indifferent to the Bundesliga. When I first started watching football, I liked AFC almost instantly and Juve a bit. Then as Juve just bored me to death; I loved Arsenal more and more.
goonie, okay, JC to score a hattrick against your boys tomorrow. 😀 Lol.
Are you done with school now?
STV, you’re off to a bad start. 😀
Agag how can you love the Old lady… they cheat and bride more than Yanited… lol
IGood to hear goon 🙂 hardly getting time/mood to stop by.. been good u too I hope. Me too rooting for oranje actually since 1998. but Arsenal over oranje ofcource I’ll tolerate Rat Van Persie it it means good for them 😉
Paulinho and fernandinho start..
Why no Ramires? We should put in a bit for him he is so under rated…
Yipeeeeeee….finally a blogger that loves the oranje. Stv you owe me a drink. Suck on that wath you cross eyed freak 😀
How cud I imagine germans getaway with this sloppy play.. :p Not as good as Camel or Octopus of course but I got 90 % predictions right this wc 😉
Why you keep reminding him to me 😀
So the oranje wins it according to your predictions huh?
yes goon 🙂 you still travelling a lot 😉 ?
Because he irks me.. Stv. WATH makes my skin crawl.
I liked Henry and Trezeguet and watched their clubs. 😳 But Juve boooored me before long. Arsenal never did. 😉
goonie, you now have an ally in STV. 🙂
He dont have a heart mate and the liver is too week 😉
Nah man I settled down. Hard to believe huh. Some southern Carolina girl got me whipped. No more traveling for me am afraid. Am stuck. Lol
stalled 😉 in a way its good
Evening guys and gals….
Just been having a read back and a few of you deserve a yellow card for your comments about Theo… And other ‘rico’ related comments… 😉
Ts, have you had a weeks holiday too? You must have, either that or you may have upset your boss for all the time you have been on here? 😉
Especially as men can’t multi-task…. 🙂
AGAG watching football in juve old stadium was depressing
ricooooooo. 🙂 I hear you’re enjoying some sun. 🙂 re: Theo, wasn’t me, I swear. Hahaha. That was Wavy.
Their stadium and the fans always looked dire, STV!!
rico in a beach ??
lol… Rico.. I multi task alright… the typos show…
Just answer my question on Theo taking our money and going sick for a year again… 🙂
Only 1 personal predicted Italy and Spain going out in the first round though… lol
I am agag, and I saw your Theo comment… 😉
Stv, what are you suggesting? 😉
Multi-task Ts, does that mean you can talk and write crazy stuff at the same time?? 😉
As for Theo, all the time you defend Arteta, I’ll stick to defending Theo, after all, it’s not his fault he’s learned very little from Afc coaching staff….
8.25 Ts, who was that?
😉 .. enjoy the sun 🙂
You theo lover cant take disagreements 😛
Evening sorry I cut things short school run come up
Wath thanks for asking having a good week .
Like Fred and Kev I think the signing of young Sheef was pay back for last year.
But signing Keto is even better. Kev we only have Huddet under 18
and have been on the look out for another G/k for some time.
Now Keto spent some time at the Pool last season on trail and played a number of games for their youth team They built the lad up saying he was the best player to come out of Finland for a number of years. He was offered a contract and they expected him back for training. However we have Hi jact the deal and given him a 3year contract. The pool are a little upset that they have lost him. Ha Ha
Loving it.
🙂 Stv, I can honest, when they make some kind of sense..
Rico.. I hear I talk rubbish… I get told all the time on here…
re: Theo; don’t bin me, rico. 😛 Glad you’re having some sun and fun. 🙂 🙂
Hiya, Rick. How are you?? Anything that upsets the Poop makes me happ. I wish the matches of the young ‘uns were shown. I know so little of them. 🙂
🙂 agag, as if I would do that….. and thanks, it’s been fab….
Hi Rick..
Phew Ts, for a moment I thought you thought otherwise…. lol
Catch you folk tomorrow, enjoy the footie…..
Hi Agag Im fine thanks.
We used to .have our own tv and a number of youth team and Ladies games were shown live. But the club have told me that because of the present TV contracts they can no longer do it.
But the Pool Man U and the Chavs have their own tv and show most of their youth team games.
evening house can’t say I’m no disappointed but it is a relatively young squad so I expect us to learn and come back stronger benzeama IMO has not really developed in Madrid he does lack mental strength IMO too weak but he did improve later in the game so..now I’m official team Germany Lol….
Clive Tyldesley, possibly the worst football commentator in the World…
Andy Townsend, definately the biggest tosser on TV..
This referee is a Brazillian fan, defo…
Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy is set for a medical at Arsenal ahead of a £7.9m transfer, according to report in France.
The Magpies have accepted an offer from the Gunners and the move could now be finalised in a matter of days, claims L’Equipe.
Debuchy, aged 28, was eliminated from the World Cup today after France lost their quarter-final against Germany. He could now be available to undergo his medical in the next couple of days.
The former Lille man has recently expressed his desire to return to the Champions League and fuelled speculation that a move was in the offing by removing references to Newcastle from his Twitter bio.
Arsenal are in the market for a new right-back after losing Bacary Sagna, Debuchy’s understudy in the France squad at the World Cup, to Manchester City on a free transfer.
Newcastle could ultimately pocket £12m based on add-ons, the report suggests.
Well done Brazil, 2 more games to go.
See what happens when the ref let’s a team kick the sh*t out of a team without issuing cards when he should. Hope Germany do a job on Brazil on Tuesday.
It was like watching Arsenal at Stoke.
I have never witnessed a more biased referee, abetted by a dodgy linesman in my life!
BENT OR WHAT?
There were some shocking assaults committed by Brazil that went totally unpunished and some non fouls not committed by Collubia that were punished without any justification at all.
I am appalled and horrified and really glad Ingerland never got out the group. I hate injustice!
Did u all c the tackle on Neymar? Take a moment to reflect on this Brazil is the most successful national football team in the history of the FIFA World Cup, with five championships: 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. They are also the most successful team in the FIFA Confederations Cup with four titles. Brazil are the current holders of the FIFA Confederations Cup after winning the 1997, 2005, 2009, and 2013 edition of the tournament. Did they get help from the referee?
In the days prior to 1982 they didn’t need any help they played sublime football. Now they don’t. They need help as honest toiling Is not enough. Fluent or football does not describe what they did on the fiels of. ‘Play’ tonight was little short of actual bodily harm, on the street they would have been prosecuted! Football that wasn’t! Brazil have been shite for a long time and will. E way into the future. If they win this comp it will be a travesty of justice. Similar to Rolf, didn’t we all love him’s sentence today!
I’m still shocked and horrified!
Neymar, broken vertebrae apparently..very harsh, he didn’t deserve such a serious injury, but when your teammates are dishing out serious violence on the pitch someone somewhere is going to retaliate! Shame he’s out but, ‘live by the sword……..’
It is a team game after all!
Neymar injury is a added motivation to win this WC, get well son #10neymar!
Brazil are goooooooone hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Germany are looking stronger every game.
Holland are a chance, but can’t defend, but if they sort that are right in it.
Brazil…likewise.
Argentina aren’t good enough.
Fuck Brazil….no Neymar no World Cup!
Messi-atina you mean Scott?
Come on Belgium…
Morning you lot….!
You had a lay in Lee…?
A little one WATH….
All ok Kev?
We getting “S” what you reckon? Or does stubborn bollocks think we won a pot and were 7 points adrift but had loads injuries so would/could of won it with those players fit? So no need to strengthen……. surely he can’t think that????
Morning Lee, morning Wath, morning Scott.
Pissing down in London…
I wish they’d get the bloody Sanchez deal finalised.
The longer it drags on the more chance there is we’ll get gazzumped…
We’ve not been linked to Kalou for a week or so!
Does that mean we’re in for him again. 🙄
No Kev apparently Kalou is a smokescreen it’s Darren Bent that we are after……music to your ears!!!
Lee, you have made my day…
You spoke to vape man lately?
Is Debuchy any good?
Debuchy is decent enough Lee in my opinion….! Also not to young to be a long term player to stop Bellerin or Jenks making it…!?!?!?
I think stubborn bollox knows we need to buy quality and there are no excuses not to.
New post going up at 12…. breaks the day up a bit lol 😉
No mate, I think he has transcended into another dimension… 😀
According to the Daily Star, Man City have joined the ‘race’ for Alexis Sanchez, along with Arsenal, Liverpool and ManUre.
But no mention of Juventus!!!
Does that mean that the Star have information about Juve dropping out of the ‘race’..???
Or, as usual, are they talking the same old bollocks?!!!
Somebody else broke the Man City interest in Sanchez, last week, so you have to congratulate the Star, for being so quick off the mark…
I imagine the the Mirror will ‘break’ the Sanchez to City story next week…
Then The Mail will report Liverpool’s interest the week after…
It’s a bit surprising that no paper had ‘revealed’ this week, that Bendtner is leaving…. zzzzzz
Mate if they link another team with a player it gives the story more substance….. It must be asked what substance they on….!?!?!
For a change Kev the Metro have a point, Barca seem to want/need as much cash as possible to offer Lfc as much cash up front as possible for the gnasher deal…. S they want “S” done as quick as possible…. If we have been doing the business the last few weeks then you with think that now Chile out the WC “S” can be spoken to directly to agree the deal…! Lets hope so….!
By the end of next week it would be pretty bloody good if we have got Debuchy, “S” and Schneiderlin….!
New post up……………
