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.

Isn't that the point though........he never backs down and gets quite insulting to those that disagree with him and this is coming from someone that agrees with the vast majority of what he says. From my own point of view I can understand why people would feel that the lack of anything good to say about AFC might make him a wum but then cos I do agree with much of what he says I think he couldn't be a wum The one thing I will say is that it wouldn't take any opposition fan 5 minutes on here to realise how the majority feel towards wenger and the club in general so if they wanted to infiltrate it would be very easy to do so - I am talking in general here not about babs as such
Babatunde wrote:Ashley Cole has been offered a 'derisory' one year contract at Chelski, it seems as if they are pushing him out of the door and he wants to leave. Now. Bit of a strange one this but question is, would you take him back at Arsenal?
Forget what went on before (if you can) and judge him as a player, and compare to the current dross at left-back.
I think there could only be one answer here...
I'm sure if what Chelsea are offering is "derisory" then what we'd offer would be insulting to him. We wouldn't offer him a long term contract nor a large wage packet, so the deal is impossible... and that's before you take into account his history as a player and as a "man".
But, hypothetically, I'd take him back. He always gave 100% on the pitch and he's a winner. That's the calibre of player we need.
But, obviously it won't happen.
Anyway, am I the only person who thinks Gibbs could have a bright future? I genuinely believe we've got a cracking player on our hands, and once he shakes of the injuries and is drilled defensively by Bould, I reckon he could become a very good Arsenal fullback.

Why should he back down if he genuinely feels he's right? And there hasn't been much positivity about the gunners these last years.
The problem only occurs when others who dont like his pessimistic, repetitive posts start calling him names and throwing childish insults. Then he responds.
The fact that he can hurl insults in return better than most on here annoys some posters. Seems they cant take it and continually try to take the mickey, even in threads where baba hasn't even posted. He gets insulted and called a spud in threads that have feck all to do with him. Some seem to be obsessed with him and wont let it lie.
Can people not accept that hes a disenfranchised, dis-illusioned gooner who is totally frustrated and angry with the way Wenker has directed the club for the most part of a decade. Hes expressing that here in his own way. Its maybe on a level of frustration and anger cranked up from where we are but everyones different.
Like I said - let him post away. He says what most of us on here already know but just with a bigger degree of angst.
Fat Chaz your opinions about me are fine im a mod but because i do a bit of housework here tidying up duplicate threads and posts im still allowed an opinion of my own and if i feel a poster is wrong or on a mission to wind up then i will say so.
I might be wrong or i might be right its all about opinions mate you dont have to like it. If you read augies posts above mine you'll see pretty much how i feel, the anger most of us feel about 21st century Arsenal and Wenger in particular could allow a supporter of another team 'infiltrate' us here. As augie has also said Baba never has a good word to say about Arsenal past or present and ive made no secret about what that makes him in my opinion and the insults from him dont help matters
Just have a read through this thread (or most threads for that matter) and see where the problem lies.
Baba posts then it doesn't take long for the usual baba-baiters to come on with the "kalou" crap or "admit it you were wrong" shit. Or "you dont like arsenal - you're a spud" ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
Hes every right to respond and hit you right back. And he does it very well imo.

Baba responds when people call him childish names like spud. IMO thats 10 time worse tan calling someone a *word censored*

Why should he back down ? Cos sometimes he isn't right - we all like to believe that we are right and this is why we put up such a passionate argument backing up our opinion but sometimes we are shown up to be wrong by events and should be willing to hold up our hands when that happens. Up to and including summer 2011 I wanted rvp sold simply cos his injuries meant that we were not getting value for money for the financial investment in him but last year he made my opinion stupid and had he stayed on with us then it would have been great for the club and I am holding up my hands and admitting that I was wrong in this case and baba admitting that he was wrong sometimes (kalou thread for example) doesn't make him weak and would, imo at least, give more credibility to him and his arguments

So he didn't admit he was wrong about Kalou. Thats it then fuk him- hes a fukin wum, spud, **** and needs to feck off down the lane.
Anyway sorry for dragging this thread waaaaay off topic.
I'd take Cole back. Yes I know hes a disgusting little phone shagger but hes still got plenty to offer, and hes a winner with plenty of PL and CL experience.

And where the fcuk did I say that ? When you are going to argue a point with me then at least come up with a statement that I actually made
