Re: ArsenalFanTV v Gary Neville

What someone needs to say to this Neville fuckwit is "how would you feel if Ferguson had been allowed linger on for 13 years without a PL title and had repeatedly made the same mistakes every season year after year after year... you prick". 8) I think Piers Morgan also made that point to ...

Re: THE WENGER THREAD

Arsene Wenger has revealed his admiration for N'Golo Kante and admits he tried to sign the Frenchman twice. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/10754183/wenger-i-tried-to-sign-kante Does he expect credit for this? Tried twice and failed twice you useless old duffer :roll: He is quoted as s...

Re: Season Tickets query

If it's just you then you'll probably be fine in the summer. The more people you are trying to move the harder it gets. There are 3 of us in the upper tier and we've applied to move to lower in the last 3 renewal seasons and been denied each time. [/color] Is that because the club know its a lot ha...

Re: FA CUP V SOTON

Is Wenger banned from the sideline for this, or when does that pointless ban start? He wants a personal hearing despite admitting the charge so he'll be on the bench for this one. He's probably delaying it so if it's a short ban he is definitely not on the touchline away to the Chavs. I stand corre...

Re: Cazorla & BFG Contract Extensions

I can sort of understand re-signing Cazorla but it would have to be on reduced terms for a year and on the acceptance from the manager he becomes a squad player unlike now where if he is fit he plays. You can't afford more than one or two injury prone players in the squad but if we used him correct...

Re: Scum (H) 6th November 12:00

We needed some in game management from Wenger. They figured we'd start Sanchez up top so played three at the back to smoother the space down the middle. As much as I agreed with the line up before the game, it became clear pretty quickly it wasn't working. Only when Sanchez started drifting into wi...

Re: Is modern footbll going to the dogs??

In general yes, but it's a reflection of the wider society which is obsessed with celebrity. So many people going to the games now are doing it to say "I was there" i.e. at something important. Look at all those Liverpool "fans" taking photos of Mourinho on Monday. 20 years ago h...

Re: The George Graham Man-Love Thread

I first started to go to THOF during his era and have many great memories. One of my favourite quotes of his was when he signed Seaman. The rumours were doing the rounds before the end of the season that we were going to buy him and replace Lukic, it wasn't going down very well with the Northbank wh...
