Given my rant at them last night in an email re the arsenal v ajax youths world cup game that they blocked me from watching this is not good news for me. I actually told them to sort themselves out (or words to that effect) so I am going to have to eat humble pie after christmas when i look to be re...

The Blame Game

After Gus's poll tradgedy it again got me thinking about the lack of depth in our squad. Now i know a lot of you (well some of you anyway) are happy with the squad as it stands but for those of you that are, like me, unhappy with the squad I ask the above question. Some of you will doubtless blame t...

Set myself up nicely to watch the arsenal v ajax youth cup game tonight and caught a few minutes of the phone in show beforehand but when it ended a message came up on my screen saying that the programme i want to ...

In all fairness Magic Hat, what are you basing your prediction on when you said that cesc & hleb will score 10 a piece ? I can see(maybe) rosicky getting 10 as he has a great shot on him and he does like pulling the trigger but the other 2 probably wont get 10 between them. Cesc, although he is ...

Dicko your statement that poom was behind the dugout all season is b*llshit cos I will stand up in court and swear (if need be) that he sat in front of me at the boro game last season. We were sitting in the upper tier in the corner right above the red action singing section so I think you should ch...

The old line of "the boss hasn't seen anyone that matches his valuation" dates back to George Graham's last year in charge and that went tits up on the pitch as well as off it. I acknowledge that wenger doesn't buy superstars but he creates them, however he did make the statement early in ...

The big concern I have is that unless we have a really good season I think Cesc will be the next on the conveyor belt out of here next summer. We all know that the 2 spanish giants (or should that read c*nts) will be knocking on our door for him next summer and given our history of letting players w...

For those of you that wonder how touts source their tickets now I can enlighten you...club staff. Last season I brought the good wife to London for the weekend (as you do) and it was the weekend of the boro match. While in the hotel lobby I was informed by a porter that they have a "broker"...

Totally agree with njac when he says that if bedtner is too raw then in effect we have only 3 strikers ready for this level. I would again question the point of playing 1 up front - its alright if you have 2 or 3 goalscoring midfielders but if the likes of hleb,rosicky & cesc are only getting 10...

Have to agree with those who can see that clearly everything is not as rose as some make out. I have been happy with flamini doing the shielding the back 4 roll (a la gilberto) but honestly he will only ever be a stop gap and I say that with the greatest respect for a player that has always given hi...

Chopper I am totally with you my son. Anyway, hard as it is to believe, I'd rather we sign Owen than martins - I have this thing that I always question the reported ages of those nigerian players and sure as jaysus we would get stuck with a player that is 10 years older than his passport says and is...

As I said in the post on last nights match v lazio this squad is too small and a blind man can see that. I have to agree with some fans comments lately that wenger has gone a bit GG(george graham) in his comments about lack of quality players available at the right prices cos we heard all that befor...

I have to say that I thought song was nothing short of woeful last night and if there was an award for the most stupid fouls to concede in a season he would win it on last nights performance alone. Overall I thought it was a poor performance with the exceptions being clichy(again) eduardo,traore,ros...
