As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Arteta said he trains every day like it's the champions league final, he's missed 9 games in the past 4 seasons but the scummy sun reckons he's unprofessional
Links to that fucking rag should be banned off here.
^^^THIS ^^^ 1,000%....
Well said Rodders
Also agree with you Lefty mate ... I don't give a fuck whether he watches football at home or whatever as long as he does his job as a Defender in the Arsenal team...in that interview he speaks very honestly; now there's a rarity these days especially when a high number of players have been coached on how to interview, how to answer questions, what and what not to say Some of the inane dumb-as-fuck questions players(and managers) get asked these days by Moronic Journo's is beyond belief. These journoWankers are just trying to stir the shit or start another stupid rumour...
Ben White comes across as a Nice Lad who knows his limitations and where and what he needs to work on as a player in a very well coached and organised team, also he is not shy to praise those players that enable him to play better etc etc
As to his tan... so what? As long as he can defend and do his part as member of our team that's all that matters... he must be doing something right... I mean besides being a Squillionaire ... look at his wife!
That arm across the belly is a dead giveaway - she's covering stretch marks! My sister in law, let's call her "The Weapon", does that in holiday photos! As well as always looking slightly ungrateful. The cùnt.

I'd love to ban that shit rag but then I'd have certain cùnts that only post on here once every few months saying I run the forum for my own ego or some such shite would be "Flying" around. Ooh, cryptic.
I do find his lack of interest in the wider game a tad odd.... but then one of the best footballers I've ever played with over the years does not support any team and very rarely watches the game. But fuck me could he play.
I've no interest in my work once I clock out in the evening don't see what the big deal is if footballers etc are the same
Are you being paid thousands of pounds a week in your job and provide the type of lavish lifestyle that only a tiny percentage of the world can have ? Does your job require a level of professionalism that means that you are practically a teetotaller for 9 months of the year, and is your job the type of job where there are loads of people just waiting to take your job and send you back down the leagues ? In american sports (especially the nfl) the demands for players to watch video's and analysis of opposition teams and players is a lesson to our football players imo - yes there are teams that the game seems a bit pre-programmed, but knowing your opponent and opposition in general are vital if you want to play at the top level. Football is a very short career, so imo if the lucrative rewards requires a higher level of dedication than players got back in the 70s and 80s, then imo that is a small price to pay

But the point Ben white makes is that he watches so many videos and does so much analysis at the training ground that he chooses not to watch games when he gets home.
I think he comes across well and a lot better than a lot of the attention grabbing social media morons out there

Augie would hold Kieren Tierney, a guy with bundles of “pash-un”, that probably watches East Fife against Cowdenbeath of a Tuesday night to pass away an evening, but misses 6 months of every season injuring himself using the tv remote changing the channel than he does Ben White, a lad who’s a solid 7 out of 10 every week, is always available, but isn’t arsed about the game outside of playing it.
I couldn’t give a continental fuck who does what as long as they perform of a Saturday. The guy with his boots in a Tesco bag is great bantz compared to the lad with the spray tan and the gucci boot bag but I know which one I’d rather have as a teammate (hint - it’s not the Scottish Diaby).
Miroslav Klose: “I stopped playing football because I no longer recognized it. Today, young players think about other things.
As a child, I only thought about training and becoming someone in this sport that I always loved. At Lazio and in the national team, after each training session, I put myself in a bathtub full of ice to avoid injuries. But the young players on the team systematically refused.
When they saw me picking up the bags of balls to put them away at the end of training, they said to me 'But who tells you to do that?'.
At that moment, I said to myself: 'You're 20 years old and you can't help a 60-year-old worker?'
They care more about whether their boots go with their socks. That's why I said stop. The football I knew no longer exists.
Today's young players think first of cars, contracts with their sponsors, and their new boots. It is only after all these things that football comes. For them, their image is the most important thing. Whereas for me, all that mattered was football in its purest form.”
I'm old school and I know that, but I want players who actually love the game and treat it as such
